I need you to kill me
If you see the light go out in my eyes
I need you to stop me
If you see me settling for the lie
of a heaven that waits for me
after the hell they put me through
I need you to end me
Before I become you
Who judges all
and weighs your heart
Is blood and bone just
all you are
When lichen calls where
will you go
Don’t be afraid of
what you know
If there is a heaven
do you think that it’s for you
will their god absolve you
after all he made you do
or is the story a blasphemy
to the old gods they forgot
a simple final comfort
for those too scared to rot
What prayers are left to say?
What sins to wash away?
Do not forgive
they know what they do
Who judges all
and weighs your heart
Is blood and bone just
all you are
When lichen calls where
will you go
Don’t be afraid of
what you know

The Devil Comes In
04:05
|
|||
|
I think I should be afraid
But I feel the weight of the stones pressing down
and it’s okay
One story ending as another begins
don’t start a war unless it’s one you can win
I understand your faith has lead you astray
but you still have to pay
And so I made a deal
I accepted a gift
I will carry a burden
but it will free me from this
And no one will ever see
the truth under the skin
the lights go out
and the devil comes in
I think you should be afraid
Feel the weight of your sins pressing down
your blood will wash them away
Nothing I do is gonna make this right
but I can feel a little better tonight
knowing that you may have put me through hell
but at least you suffered as well
What could you offer
but a life of regret
What could you give
but a prayer and a threat
And no one will ever see
the truth under the skin
the lights go out
and the devil comes in
Accusations and brutality
the sparks that will ignite
The devil didn’t lead me astray
but I think he may have found me tonight
And no one will ever see
the truth under the skin
the lights go out
and the devil comes in

What do they know?
What have they seen?
They say life is sacred
then spend it on their knees
If that’s just the cost of belief then
I’m not willing to pay
If this is the path to salvation
I’ll gladly lose my way
And now I feel so free
the weight of his blessing falling off of me
suffer no more, I refuse to bow
to a god that wants to hold me down
This faith is a cage
This doubt is a gift
Telling me whatever happiness I’ve had
Didn’t come from this
What do they know?
What have they seen?
Safe in the light
where they don’t understand tonight
God prays to me
And I will not forgive what he’s done
and he’s going to learn
to stop the fire in the blood
some things will have to burn
never to return
They think they’re looking down
but I wear their judgment like a crown
And now I feel so free
the weight of his blessing falling off of me
suffer no more, I refuse to bow
to a god that wants to hold me down
And now I feel so free
the weight of his blessing falling off of me
I’ve said the prayers under the sign of the cross but
if this is home, I’d rather be lost

The Promise of the Night
03:01
|
|||
|
I know this body wasn’t meant to last
but I’m holding on and it’s fading fast
It never seems like it should come to an end
but I ask myself “If not now, then when?”
And I’ve danced so many time before
you’d think I’d know the steps
if not the score
But every jump I leave a piece behind
and I can’t tell what’s yours
or mine
But still I have to move on
You’ll never know that I’ve gone
And so I trust in the promise of the night
head first into starless twilight
I don’t regard you as an enemy
but there’s room for one
and it must be me
In the end, I hope you understand
what one would do to live again
I know you’re angry
but just know I’m sad
oh how it hurts to take
all you ever had
You lived a life I’m just passing through
and every body’s different
but I’ll break this one too
And then I’ll fly away
and leave this shell to the cold light of day
I don’t know what I’ll be
I don’t know what’s left of me
And so I trust in the promise of the night
head first into starless twilight

Old Wounds
03:23
|
|||
|
There’s a graveyard inside of you
of all the people you’ve been
and when you least expect them to
they come back again
They’re buried next to your hopes and dreams
The ones that broke and the ones you shed
but being locked in a coffin now
doesn’t meant that they’re dead
The guilt won’t fix your mistakes
Regret won’t pay the toll
What’s in your heart may calm you
but it won’t make you whole
The wounds are open again
The wounds are open again
They’ve been waiting to visit you
they’ve been waiting so long
and there’s nothing that you can do
you may have left, but you haven’t moved on
Do you remember what it was like
before it all felt the same
when there was more to look forward to
than treading water while circling the drain
For every path you take
there’s one you’ll never see
For every single mistake
there is an old wound waiting to bleed
The wounds are open again
and they’re ready to bleed
The wound are open again
and they’re calling for me

God Told Me a Secret
02:56
|
|||
|
Blasphemy, blasphemy
runs through my head like a song
Nobody seems to hear the tune but
if I start, I think they’ll sing along
We will sing of blood and heresy
We will sing of the original sin
We will sing till we are free
of the devil within
What depths of sin they’ve brought us to
What lust and urge they put us through
I see the light inside them fading away
if they want to see hell, we will show them today
The lord knows what we do
God told me a secret
God gave me a plan
and I need to shout it out
to everyone I can
He said that he wouldn’t mind
these are the darkest of times
Their rituals have brought about a pox upon our land
Their inhuman desires but temptation in our hands
Our moral fiber threatened by the demons in our midst
we only have ourselves to blame for letting them exist
God told me a secret
God gave me a plan
He said to show the devils that
this is our holy land
It’s only torture when it happens to you
Blessed by his hand the truth comes through
Round up the member of the devil’s cult
The methods aren’t pretty,
but they get results
the lord knows what we do
God told me a secret
He gave me a plan
I won’t get into specifics
But let’s just say I am his hand

Pepper's Ghost

I wouldn’t say I’m innocent but I
I don’t think I’m wrong
Though I’m sensing my opinion won’t go very far
I wouldn’t say it’s blasphemy when there’s
no one to demean
But I don’t think that would change a bit
of what you are
I think it’s funny how your god speaks to you
and seems to bless the thing you already wanted to do
The violence in your heart
sees demons in everyone
and it wouldn’t change your mind
to see how the trick was done
Just a simple illusion meant to move
move the story along
Though it doesn’t seem like it changes the ending at all
cause there’s a kind of truth that you can serve
and one that serves for you
but I don’t think its the truth that has you in it’s thrall
And so I wonder which one came to you first
was it the sword or was it the verse
The violence in your heart
sees demons in everyone
and it wouldn’t change your mind
to see how the trick was done
I understand you find this hard to believe
I never asked him to die for me
The violence in your heart
sees demons in everyone
and it wouldn’t change your mind
to see how the trick was done
I don’t believe
that you can’t see the strings
but if it gets you some blood
you’ll gladly kiss the ring

A New Way to Bleed
04:00
|
|||
|
I sense a change is coming
I feel the temperature shift
I don’t want to live forever
but I’ll be damned if I die like this
I hear the night is calling
and I know the answer deep in my heart
this is where angels fear to tread
but something else can walk the dark
I’d sell my soul just to see them afraid
I’d give all to see them lie in the bed they made
Are you looking for a new way to bleed
Watch it flow, just to see where it leads
Under the moon it will say what it knows
and lay the path where only wolves can go
A tortured heart is restless
simple defiance only gets so far
They labeled us as heretics
so that must be what we are
This isn’t time for conversation
No one can hear through the stones and mud
our screams mean nothing to them
so let’s see how they respond to blood
Now I understand what I must become
they want a demon and I’m gonna give them one
Are you looking for a new way to bleed
Watch it flow, just to see where it leads
Under the moon it will say what it knows
and lay the path where only wolves can go
They found purpose in our slaughter
Now I stalk the night making martyrs
Are you looking for a new way to bleed
Watch it flow, just to see where it leads
Under the moon it will say what it knows
and lay the path where only wolves can go

Something in me wants to fly
something in me wants to run away
something in me wants to die
something in me wants to end today
Still I’m reaching for another chance
Like I can’t feel hope as it’s slipping
through my hands
Nothing good can happen here
no harvest grows in this barren land
Feels like I’m digging a grave
Like I’d rather see black than gray
Bloody fingers clawing useless plains
again and again and again and again and I
I think we’re going to hell tonight
I hear the omens whispered on the winds they say
go through the darkness to see the light
dig your own grave and climb right in
What goods a secret you don’t want to know
What goods a chance if you won’t let go
If somethings telling you to run
then maybe I can tell you where
and what you’re thinking is a trap
is just an answer to your useless prayers
so what’s it going to be
will you die in the field that you were born?
or will you follow me?
I think we’re going to hell tonight
I think we’ll find it’s not a long way down
but it’s a different way to see the light
not losing paradise, you’re gaining ground
I think we’re going to hell tonight
I hear the omens whispered on the winds they say
go through the darkness to see the light
dig your own grave and climb right in
I think we’re going to hell tonight
I hear the omens whispered on the winds they say
go through the darkness to see the light
dig your own grave and climb right in

The Grand Deceit
04:24
|
|||
|
Your god is a lie
that you tell to yourself
to pretend the blame
belongs to somebody else
for all you’ve done
and all you wanted to do
How could you sleep at night
if it fell to you?
So you swear that you can’t change the plan
but before you go to bed
you’ll talk to someone who can
And if we suffer enough
maybe he’ll show us some grace
but if he ever heard our plans
he’d only laugh in our face
It seems the only messages you get from above
are of different types of torture you can pass off as love
What vision it takes to see
how awful things could be
The second coming of the grand deceit
for which you bleed
The weight is lifted
so you start to believe
and you build a stage for all your penance and grief
then after every sacrifice
you say it’s his will
and hope that excuses the blood that you spill
but even it doesn’t who are we gonna tell
there may not be a heaven, but you built us a hell
where everybody dies without a home to haunt
and all you have to show is everything that you want
your church is a monument to your might
and what you can get away with when you pray at night
when your hands are clasped,
the blood runs off
does it really count as killing if they’re already lost
What vision it takes to see
how awful things could be
The second coming of the grand deceit
for which you bleed

Hexed
03:16
|
|||
|
Some things are better forgotten
some things are better cast aside
some people need to be remembered
some people need to quietly die
Somebody’s looking to get cursed tonight
someone will bleed out the eyes
someone is asking for their legacy to be
a footnote in the pages of mine
So who wants to go first?
Who can say what is to be?
Who can tell you what the future holds?
So keep your silence about prophecy
and what your little book foretold
It’s gonna take a little blood
It’s gonna take a little sacrifice
It’s gonna take a toll on you
but somebody has to pay the price
Don’t mess with things that you don’t understand
Don’t walk in gardens if you don’t till the land
Unless you want to be next
Unless you want to be hexed
Unless you want to be next
Unless you want to be hexed
I don’t need your opinion
I don’t care what you say
All your blessings are wasted
your good intentions betrayed
A halo doesn’t hide
I know what’s in your heart
Now the hymns are over
so let the cursing start
So who wants to be next
So who wants to be hexed
So who wants to be next
So who wants to be hexed
So who wants to be next
So who wants to be hexed

Calcified Heart
04:15
|
|||
|
I know where I should have gone
and I fear where I should have been
If only knowing now could somehow
help me out back then
If I could see the future
I don’t know that I’d believe
all the things that happened in the
space from you to me
And it’s too late to make it right
and it’s too late to start again
and it’s too late for goodbyes I didn’t
know I needed then
Because I strayed for far too long and
I can’t find my way back home
My body’s now in pieces and my
heart has turned to stone
I know that I was wrong
and I know that I was scared
I only wish that fear
had found a way to keep me there
But it’s too late to make it right
and it’s too late to start again
and it’s too late for goodbyes I didn’t
know I needed then
Because I followed my heart too far
and it broke when it couldn’t bend
Now the weight of my regret
cannot make the pieces mend
Now it’s too late to make it right
and it’s too late to start again
and there’s no time for goodbyes I didn’t
know I needed then
Because I strayed for far too long and
I can’t find my way back home
My body’s now in pieces and my
heart has turned to stone
My heart has turned to stone

A Final Moment
04:09
|
|||
|
I never knew I could feel so alone
I’d be an easy sell if god were to show
Just to let me know
how things had gotten so grim
and to show me how my life means nothing to him
But now the sky is black, awash with smoke
the moon is choking and the stars are cloaked
And I regret oh so many things
and I remember my mistakes
and the guilt they bring
I enjoy it for a moment
never feel it again
Now my final line is written
this is the end
I wonder where it was that I went wrong
What kind of world will this be when I am gone
Of course the answer is the same as it’s always been
but I find a little comfort when I pretend
But know it’s hard to see
and even harder to breathe
and the only light around
is coming from my feet
And I regret oh so many things
and I remember my mistakes
and the guilt they bring
I enjoy it for a moment
never feel it again
Now my final line is written
This is the end
This is the end
This is the end

Let There Be Nothing
by Judicator
supported by 4 fans who also own “Coven”
It reminds me of *good* Blind Guardian, which is one of my favorite bands (up to 2002) , so that alone would be enough. However, it would sell the band short to describe them just as "a band that sounds like BG". The album has some genuinely brilliant moments and the last song on the album, the s/t one, is one of my favorite songs of the past years, absolutely fantastic.
