#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.
