As requested, I've started a new thread wherein Stanne can watch us all butcher his finely crafted lyrics. I guess I'll start out by posting what I have of the songs so far. Feel free to make any suggestions/corrections you feel are warranted.
Nothing to No One
Force it to begin, throw(/control) the flame,
True fire burns with sin,
Dark instincts denied - over and over again
Keep me deaf of all things private, Exposed (within/wicked/this failed) creation
What is done is dead, what is done is dead.
To be content - an abomination,
Are you is satisfied? Are you done with this?
The ultimate rebellion - the sacrifice is endless.
The ultimate rebellion - be nothing to no one.
What's in a true life, behind the crumbling walls?
A dream - an infant illusion.
Action without movement, desire without heart.
It is over and done, it's over and done.
To crave ... for objects, and fathom without eyes,
The .... not enough, that no one sees.
The ultimate rebellion - the sacrifice is endless.
The ultimate rebellion - be nothing to no one.
Waken to the screams of unresolve,
Denounce the accusations, words are free.
These are the outer symptoms of inner detonation
That will force us to inaction, bleed us of resolve,
Take the burden off me, lead me to my grave.
The ultimate rebellion - the sacrifice is endless.
The ultimate rebellion - be nothing to no one.
The Lesser Faith [revised to include lyrics that make sense]
Dreamt up a new word today,
In my ignorance, I gave it meaning.
Who was I to know?
To say it is to know it, to hear it is to believe - is to believe.
I dreamt a world would end,
I was not wrong to doubt, to discredit
The other words I learned before.
From a silence (she'll?) be ticking.
It's all you've shown your faith, and what you've always known.
So lay your trust in me and think about
Starting to justify your lesser faith.
It's all your faith has ever shown, and all you've ever known.
How could you matter? - You're InsignifiCunt.
How do you justify your lesser faith?
To know it is to fear it - to feel it is to say "no", is to say "no".
To the blazing hearts and ...
I now unveil, to break, to cast it down
You take your need from a staff that must be broken in two.
It's all your faith has ever shown, and all you've ever known.
How could you matter? - You're InsignifiCunt.
How do you justify your lesser faith?
Terminus: Where Death Is Most Alive
This is a ghost town,
Where life at the edges of failure's fled
Led on by shining faces, led astray by...
What used to be, all humility is gone
You walk about, the skull and bones
Where living is denied,
I see one moment in detailed precision, the .... (needle's on the rise/...knows otherwise)
It is the only place I know - Where death is most alive
It is where truth is left to lie - where death is most alive
So flee from the ensnarers, the ... a shield,
Threatened by what claims you, you wear the mark of death,
With terrible loss and agony, a character defined
Stripped of all the tragedy, what life is left to find
Go now - until there's nothing left
Go now - the dying has begun
It is the only place I know - Where death is most alive
It is where truth is left to lie - where death is most alive
So I flee from all that is me
To hide behind this pale, dead face
What ever happened to desire, want, and need?
Whatever happened to integrity?
Imagination is a curse in all of this,
What ever happened... what's left behind?
This is a ghost town,
With bodies scattered through the streets,
Go now - to never return
I've seen more pitiful humilation, than you could ever (can never?) hide.
It is the only place I know - Where death is most alive
It is where truth is left to lie - where death is most alive
Nothing to No One
Force it to begin, throw(/control) the flame,
True fire burns with sin,
Dark instincts denied - over and over again
Keep me deaf of all things private, Exposed (within/wicked/this failed) creation
What is done is dead, what is done is dead.
