#317: Scorned - Broken Flesh

Scorned
Broken Flesh

Genre: Death Metal



As I have breathed my final breath
Chained within my own sin
No more time, no second thoughts, no repentance
My misery will carry on for all time
My soul starts to burn

This anguish is too much to bear
If only I had one more day
Trapped inside gnashing of teeth, eternal shame
I should have answered the call
My soul starts to burn

BURN - This hell feels very real
The pain does not fade away
BURN - The screams of those engulfed in flames
My own flesh melts away
BURN - This torment is too much to bear
My God why did I deny you

As I have breathed my final breath
Chained within my own sin
No more time, no second thoughts, no repentance
My misery will carry on for all time
My soul starts to burn
Oh God why did I deny you

#316: Isolation - Separatist

Isolation
Seaparatist

Genre: Technical Deathcore

Money from all paid downloads are donated to the A21 Campaign to support the war against Human Trafficking/Sex Slavery

Confined within this desiccant husk
This godforsaken artefact of what once stood
A sutra of isolation and absence
We have become the thrall of famine and drought

The Earth that we once enslaved has fallen
Consumed by our own insatiable starvation

Our focus shifts
To ingest the weak and the inanimate
Those who cannot resist
We turn to our own fragile veins
Drinking deep the arterial libation
Dissecting the lesser among us

Spanning beyond this infinite horizon
Sustenance lies in deficit

Excise the feast locked within the flesh
Death of the weak to feed the strong
We are the scavengers of our own mortality

Isolation

Flocking like vultures to feed on our own skin
Where sustenance lies in deficit
We have become the thrall of absence

#315: Aperi Oculos - Solomon

Aperi Oculos
Solomon

Genre: Deathcore



Say goodbye, because it's all over now
I saw the light, became blind, and sewed my eyes shut.
There's no peace inside this throbbing chest,
I feel nothing but the sting of regret
My void of sanity is lost among death's vanity.
My eyes are closed and open to calamity.

Turning my life over to embrace the darkness.
Between the seams, I've seen the disease
That rots beneath the lifeless "me" in my dreams.
I'm so focused on making the wrong plans with idle hands
And I've got this feeling my whole life is ending

You can take my eyes, but you can't take my soul.

These strings will never harness my dreams
Of being martyred for the sake of my beliefs.
I'm yet another Chief of sinners, a member of the human race
I'm another of God's people to turn my back and run away.
Time and time again, I continue to prove
That mankind is jaded with a soul they're prone to lose.

I am but a blind man with idle hands, but here and now,
I promise I will see again

The scalpel on this table is starting to glimmer through my eyelids.
With every slide of the knife,
I will rectify my blindness through necessary bloodshed.

Even through the bleeding,
I am able to look upon beauty with relief
More so than the blind men who still cling to deceit.
My thoughts are clear, and there's nothing left to fear.
I'm one of the few men left in this room with crimson tears.

I still hear the all present voice telling me,
To tell the men trapped in this room that they are free.
Tear for tear, blood for blood, I'm not the only one.
I will escort freedom by the time my life is done.

The scalpel in my hand, takes on the significance of spit and sand.
A recycled miracle from a man living in heaven.

EYES WIDE OPEN.

#314: In the Hands of Godzilla - How the West Was Won

In the Hands of Godzilla
How the West Was Won

Genre: Metalcore


You're falling faster now than your wings can carry you.
To a place where none can save you. To a place beyond rescue.

Into a darkness only Hell can claim, to a place without face or name.
This is where all love ends. This is where your Hell begins.
So wave goodbye to all your vanity, and prepare to embrace misery.
This is where all love ends, this is where your Hell begins.

And now your time has come there is nowhere to run (2x)
your nightmares share the face off all the evil that you've done.
You'll beg, you'll plead. But look in my eyes they'll be the last thing you'll see.

We will chase you to the ends of earth.
Grab a flame and watch your kingdom burn.
Claps the bridges leave no stone unturned.
We've got a message and it will be heard.

Into a darkness only Hell can claim, to a place without face or name.
This is where all love ends. This is where your Hell begins.
So wave goodbye to all your vanity, and prepare to embrace misery.
This is where all love ends, this is where your Hell begins.

This cry goes out to every soul that's been stolen by this coward.
Unite and arise to bring this kingdom's demise.
We will bring the war to his door steps.
For not even the gates off Hell can hold us back.

Your thieving hands and lying lips.
Left me helpless and without defense.
Your betraying kiss was so inviting but from it I'm no longer thriving.

I found a new Father and his light is true and pure.
His hands hold all power and his sword will run you through.

#313: The Blood Has Been Shed - Toarn

The Blood Has Been Shed
Toarn

Genre: Metalcore


To the girl with the blood in her tears
Cutting her arms with the pain of her years
She searches for release
She thinks life is her disease

To the boy with the bullet and the gun
Don't pull the trigger my son
Your story has just begun

The blood has been shed
The blood has been shed

The blood has been shed
The pain you've fed
The pain you've... the blood has been shed

The blood has been shed
He died for you
The blood has been shed
You are loved, it's true

YOU ARE LOVED
IT'S TRUE

To the boy, to the girl
The blood has been shed
The pain you have fed
The blood has been... Shed

The blood has been shed
This pain you have fed, The blood has been...

The knife, the gun
Redeemed by...

The knife, the gun
Redeemed by the One


To the girl, to the boy
The blood has been shed
The blood has been shed
The pain you have fed, the blood has been
Shed.

#312: Counter - A Better Tomorrow

Counter
A Better Tomorrow

Genre: Deathcore

Note: For anyone interested in deathcore, the Christian Deathcore promotion page has released an excellent free 40-band 2.5 hour compilation. Donations go toward supplying more free downloads.



Love, and be like Christ,

it's the only way to save our soul. Love.

I know in this world it can be quite hard
to express Christ love and get very far,
but we can't give up, no we can't give up,
it's our duty to show his love.

In this place so full of hate,
it's so hard to communicate,
mention your a Christian and you get shut down,
ignorance is so profound.

The devil is full of hatred and our God overflowing with love.
Our God has mercy, power, and glory,
but the devil has nothing.
I will live his mercy, I will live his love.

We must show Christ love.

Hate will not rule this world.
Hate will not rule this world.
Hate is a tool that's used by the devil,
manipulates your soul and drags you to hell.
I will not be manipulated by your hatred.

This world is full of hate but I will not hate it back.
We must love one another to survive.
This world is full of hate but I will not hate it back.

#311: Falling Stars - This Divided World

Falling Stars
This Divided World

Genre: Deathcore


The great deceiver leads the elect away

With false prophecy and false doctrine
And in the end he doesn't care who dies
Because in the end we all are crucified

Like dominoes their statues fall to your lies
Falling, crashing to the Earth
Welcome to your temporary inheritance

A giant hand sweeps the darkness across
And the sheep run but the Shepherd is strong
Much of this world caves, and is led away to a broad road
Filled with luke-warm waters, drink to your heart's content

Oh deceiver, oh liar, oh falling star
Your cunning lies are not enough for me

I will enter through the gates from where you fell
I will walk and live where you will never walk again

You are the father of lies, your heart's the birthplace of sin
You are the father of lies

He will regain all that you stole
Where Love is you cannot go

Where I am destined you are turned away
For the Gatekeeper will not know your face
As you have chosen to not know His
The gatekeeper will not know your face

You are not able to return
From where you fell
For you have chosen
The path of pride that leads to Hell

Lies are your eulogy

#310: Derived From Misery - Eyes Of The Defiled

Derived From Misery
Eyes Of The Defiled

Genre: Deathcore


You have betrayed me once again...

but I fear that this is where it all ends (where it all ends)
I've let you slip away from my hands (from my hands)

Now you're all alone and stranded
Scream for help... karma has left you abandoned

Step back... you've done enough... I can handle it from here
Step back... you've done enough... I can handle it from here

This is goodbye... for the last time
Don't ask me why you can't change my mind
Call me when your will is done
Don't ask me why you can't change my mind
Call me when your will is done

I've told you time and time again...
Take your punishment
Look at the bloodshed

I sold my soul to my savior
He gave his soul to save us all

I have come a long way... constantly looking over my shoulder
Everyone is out to get me... but I swear that this isn't over
but I swear that this isn't over

You brought this madness upon yourself
You brought this madness upon yourself
I will seek... my revenge
I will seek... my revenge... here it comes... once again

You brought this madness upon yourself (upon yourself)
