HoM I - Embers at the Gate 04:02
lyrics
This is a calling to Come everyone Sanctuary bears the name of Malakaan We're drawn everyone Those that bear the mark upon the wrist Raise to attention and stand the men tall Your proximity it quivers my spine Speak your peace if you're even there at all This alteration has been twisting my mind How it seems to be so fucking purposeful with tension it brings I hear you calling my name under trampled earth Stealing silence away to make a meal of our time Disfigure my flesh as your presence build the walls Still your form has been eluding my eyes Try to lift the veil To see your face a sign to show the way This is a calling to Come everyone Sanctuary bears the name of Malakaan We're drawn everyone Those that bear the mark upon the wrist Down the wooded path as it widens to a grin I can feel surveying eyes peering into my skin Hand on my shoulder brings a doubt inflicting chill The sun and stars sun and stars growing further muted still Reveal yourself to me I'm sick of faking this What do you need Like an oasis it rose through the endless grains To drown in an ocean the sun sets to seal your fate In the beginning we thought the split could stay One day I'll meet me and this pain is torn away As it was said something was there This is impressive to say the least We're safe from out there Clearer now as your presence leaves Your illusion drops were undone The evening comes They seal the door The shutters close The silence

HoM II - 6C 03:14
lyrics
The beginning was a peaceful time I sat in the nothing and noticed that something was different Life Continual cyclical violence they give me their bodies when they expire Life Then something started changing They started looking down Took upon hollowing out Ripped from the root torn from the flesh Oh my body they come at me with selfish baring teeth But all I see is draining me it's filling my vision with nothing but hungry eyes

HoM III - A Man or a Soul 04:22
lyrics
Brushed off of the faces These walls were a containment Still screaming for complacence Cry out eternity Move time is wearing thin With a tension I can feel through her sickly hollow grin A vision in the sirens call to feed upon my skin Alike the ones who came before we caught a glimpse and settles in Search my skull for reason Hunger breaks the thickest skin With all the light to see them Inside the walls that keep them in Heed the sirens call Innocence alleviated influence to spread like fire Sullen from what first was stated now they call to set the pyre Heed the sirens call Cast a light of shame on those we drag through dusted earth Sins of non believers cleansed with flames to bring rebirth Scream repentance scream aloud my children hear their words Cast your fear into this philter love the stillness you observe Come everyone Sanctuary bears the name of Malakaan We're drawn everyone Those that bear the markings of a calling so Wrong everyone Duty so incumbent to ignore the flaw It's wrong it always was Those that bear the mark upon the wrist

Red Wanting Blue 03:57
lyrics
We pave the road laid out before them to never see the light Behind the fence sheltering our weak eyes The reasons always seem to differ resulting in the same To take on less not reject we're to blame Chew through all the lives you consume If it works this well for you The ending justifies the means in absolution But doesn't the sight revolt you Everything bleeds like we do The ending justifies the means in absolution Sift through the meaning we defect A nameless grave displayed and polished is where the future lies At the apex of our excess bleed them dry What the past has buried inside walks the earth today A different pace brand new face name remains Chew through all the lives you consume If it works this well for you The ending justifies the means in absolution But doesn't the sight revolt you Everything bleeds like we do The ending justifies the means in absolution Sift through the meaning we defect Every time you open your mouth Bloodstains never seem to wash out

Wagging Tongues 04:26
lyrics
Wash my name from your tongue Grip the reigns lift them up Carve out your trench in The skin of someone's chest I didn't feel a thing What else did you expect Rolling eyes light a cigarette Slipped away How quickly we forget Listen close when time is speaking Words fade away If I hope for them to reach me It gets lost in the air between Pull the straw then repent Hang from words by the neck this Cocoon gave birth to someone else Turn away how quickly we forget Listen close when time is speaking Words fade away I didn't feel a thing What did you expect Longer than I care to know but I could never tell Hollow view and cutting through the silence as they fall from wagging tongues Words escape the meaning fades and leaves the void that it creates The darkness swallows me What have I become Not standing like before I was waiting for you I won't anymore Carry on breathing this air that's so impure But I love to suffer Still you’re keeping score Victory is yours

Tyrant King 06:50
lyrics
Don’t you know me recognize my face Smell familiar skin know this cold embrace But you feel it so much clearer in the wake. It seems that you and I my friend look very much the same Show me your wildest thoughts Let me let you believe them Entertain all your plots Through a smile i receive them I abstain from judgement free of yearning to atone Without the faintest trace of doubt I seek out nothing more Holding me always Know that I’m yours I’ll become the Echoes calling back a truth that you already know Speaking softly The feeble whispers all reflecting in your skull This is eternal Effect and the cause There is no yearning needing no more Speak to me so eloquently feeding my desire Crave the reassurance like the scent of blood I'm wild Tell me what to believe Know I abide Headspace takes shape Accosting yourself to find that your Headspace takes shape Accosting yourself to find that you’re You’re disillusioned Only echo the call Your pathetic vain attempts are sad at best and now you’re left With praise you sought from me and nothing more Seek my assurance Reach for it all Your pathetic vain attempts are sad at best and now you’re left With praise you sought from me and nothing more Headspace takes shape Accosting yourself to find that your Headspace takes shape Accosting yourself to find that you’re Paid for in blood Unseen unheard You will give up So far from done Alone I stand Just like before Just like it always has been So long my friend Needed no more Tissue so beautifully broken
