Lifeless And Dead

Lifeless and Dead

Decorated love within reason
But some don't realize the treason
Almighty and maybe God sent
Sleeping oblivion was never meant.

Keep your distance arm's length
Keep up stamina and your strength
But this fallacy will not die
Yet on a cross here he lies.

(chorus)

Lifeless and dead
You left us all
Lifeless and dead It's your turn to fall.

(bridge)

As the raging wind blows deep within our minds
Time is of the essence, no sacred faith will find
We are bound to this world this one true God
Sold our souls for pennies spared the wrath rod.

Love with strings from above
Can't shake this morbid dove
Resurrecting our hopes and fears
No longer able to live with tears.

Feeling stronger every single day
Fucked, a disappointing lay
Decayed and eaten from the inside
Fury because one we believed in lied.

(repeat chorus)

(repeat bridge)

Draining You Dry

Draining You Dry

We can't see
Do you believe?
That he's free
Are we slaves?
To a reality, beyond all existence, completely unseen.

We can't hear
Are the voices there?
Live in fear
Don't you see?
That it's a joke, a fate held so compromised near and dear.

(pre-chorus)

Say, God are you there?
Or just a figment
Say, God do you care?
Are you really heaven sent?

We can't feel
Are our fingers numb?
You will kneel
Will you succumb?
To something invisible, certain death, all is lost, my last breath, now I kneel, hope killed.

We can't taste
Are our tongues severed?
It's a waste
How long is never?
When infinity comes, agonizing defeat, all my life, lies told, ends meet, in hate.

(pre-chorus)

(chorus)

The leach, sucking your blood
The leach, making you repent
Draining you dry
Draining you dry
Preacher, speaking of brimstone
Preacher, heaven bound or hell bent?
Watching you die, while
Draining you dry
Draining you dry
Draining you dry
Draining you dry.

Can we smell?
Smell the defeat
Smell the rot
See the disgust
An insignificant spot
A speck in distrust
See the pain
Feel the hatred
Bathe in acid rain
As our God feeds.

Draining you dry
Draining you dry
Draining you dry
Draining you dry.

Dead

Dead

A soulless wonder
Floating through space
The time and place
Is far from home.

Looking back in certainty
Stumbling over rocks
Settling the blocks
And persevering.

Breaking out of jail - Don't need this hell
Keeping life afresh - What's this mess?
Searching our hearts - A brand new start
Hoping for our freedom - Ruling the kingdom.

Watched in a fishbowl
A glass house without stones
Becoming the drones
I will conquer.

Death and despairity
Depriving human contact
Our lives so hacked
And yet on the level.

Bringing the chaos home - Enslaving the dome
Unleashing the rotting corpses - Never realizing the source
Realizing  the potential - Domination circumstantial
Holding the world captive - Paid to the highest bid.

Tell me, who decides our fate?
Are we in control of our own destiny?
Why can't we touch it, feel it, or see?
Is god dead?

Have we overstepped our bounds?
Are we able to regain our control?
Or is the world falling into a hole?
Is God dead?

Has he forsaken us?
Will he be taking us?
Has he been faking us?
Is God dead?
