Live to Die 04:25
I wanted to believe hope would survive even as it’s noose was being tied I never questioned the fact that we’d be saved And we never looked back as we dug it’s grave When the Angels spiralled to the ground I just close my eyes and I never looked down and I didn’t feel a thing just like you said as you all held the gun to my head It goes away when you lean on a crutch Can’t feel a thing, but the pain’s too much Walking suicide, chemically numb Why can’t I be like everyone? Stigmata wounds created by the words that I said That ringing in my ears is just the bullet in my head Shut your mouth, open your eyes and see what truth you find The knife in your back will get you every time My only purpose is complacent existence My only flaw is persistent resistance Close your eyes and the doubt will subside I hate this world, I live to die Justice got its eyes back so the truth no longer saves but everyone will turn away as long as they get paid the sheep line up for slaughter never questioning the way because the past is self-contained in what happened yesterday My only purpose is complacent existence My only flaw is persistent resistance Close your eyes and the doubt will subside I hate this world, I live to die Stigmata wounds created by the words that I said That ringing in my ears is just the bullet in my head Shut your mouth, open your eyes and see what truth you find The knife in your back will get you every time

I am nothing to anyone Who I am has left me scarred too long A twisted deformity in a Perfect Plastic World How can I go on now that everything is wrong? Hopeless, Defenseless, Lifeless Nothing means a thing when you hate what you’ve become because no one ever changes everyone just runs Youth is wasted on the young when they’re broken inside Because the day you choose to live may be the day you finally die Today I was crucified A perfect example of hope denied Burned all my bridges, I stand alone Not without sin, but I’ll cast the stone Choke it back, Take it back, Force it back now Nothing means a thing when you hate what you’ve become because no one ever changes everyone just runs Youth is wasted on the young when they’re broken inside Because the day you choose to live may be the day you finally die

I remember him smiling when he finally lost his soul Outside he looked so alive, but inside he went so cold He used to watch the rest and say “That I’ll never be” But in time we all bow down to the vampire we feed Watch the blood flow from the wound Follow the stream towards your tomb Blind your eyes to the sins around You could save your soul, but your hands are bound Watch the seed grow from the womb to fuel the flames which bring our doom Close your heart to the pain around You could save the world, but your soul is bound And as he choked on the debris the flames burnt all they could and he pretended he couldn’t see the ruins on which he stood Watch the blood flow from the wound Follow the stream towards your tomb Blind your eyes to the sins around You could save your soul, but your hands are bound Watch the seed grow from the womb to fuel the flames which bring our doom Close your heart to the pain around You could save the world, but your soul is bound You can have your innocence, but keep it out of sight You can lie to yourself if it will get you through the night Watch us desecrate the land on which the lamb was slain You can cleanse you wounds, but you’re still hopelessly stained No joy, No love, No hope as we choked at the end of our rope Familiarity breeds fear of unknown So we choke back the flesh and we puke up the bones No longer eyes to see No longer a heart to feel No longer a choice to make We raped the seventh seal Watch the blood flow from the wound Follow the stream towards your tomb Blind your eyes to the sins around You could save your soul, but your hands are bound Watch the seed grow from the womb to fuel the flames which bring our doom Close your heart to the pain around You could save the world, but your soul is bound You can have your innocence, but keep it out of sight You can lie to yourself if it will get you through the night Watch the vultures raped the light devine If you’re waiting to be saved then get in line No joy, No love, No hope as we choked at the end of our rope We all sit idly by as we watch a world wide suicide Our world killed itself Our world is dying, our world is dead

You’ve always had your reasons but now you’ve gone to far So spare me all your speeches and dance like the puppet you are No strength in your convictions Learned to fit in the mold no worry or consequences but if you open your eyes, you’re being controlled A beacon of indifference in a sea of apathy a shiny plastic smile is all that there’s left to see Compassion lost it’s hold Rotten, black and cold Cancer of the Soul You sacrificed yourself to a life of emptiness but every soul you’ve broken hath only bore you this The gun was in your mouth but you just couldn’t shoot This was the way you planned but something here does not compute Our wings are clipped, our eyes are shut So we can never fly We dangle on our puppet strings until we learn to die Compassion lost it’s hold Rotten, black and cold Cancer of the Soul All is well that does end well so one can never tell So we smile, single file and march right down to hell Compassion lost it’s hold Rotten, black and cold Cancer of the Soul

How can I exist when all we have is this and I don’t want it anymore? If I ignore the pain Will I be worth my weight in shame or just completely poor? And as my life goes by If I just close my eyes Could this feeling go away? But if someday I crack is there no turning back Could I never be saved? Did you warn me of the plight that’s torn me? Or did you give into the need to silently watch me bleed? In a world where everything’s for sale and everyone wants you to fail You never see the hand possessed that rips the heart out of your chest ‘Cause everyone’s a victim here just searching for an extra tear ignore what our lies are brewing as we watch a world in ruins Have we run out of time to see what we can find that’s not already stained? And when we finally fall will it matter at all that there’s nothing gained? Did you warn me of the plight that’s torn me? Or did you give into the need to silently watch me bleed? I want a way out Give me some way out There must be one way out There is no way out In a world where everything’s for sale and everyone wants you to fail You never see the hand possessed that rips the heart out of your chest ‘Cause everyone’s a victim here just searching for an extra tear ignore what our lies are brewing as we watch a world in ruins

So this is where hope comes to die Beaten and broken, never to rise No graceful exit, no final bow If the world's gone to Hell We'll burn it down So this will be the last move I ever make and if you hear this words, then it's too late I'm a martyr with nothing to die for Except to save me from the world outside So with these words I bid you farewell Climb on my cross and die So this is what we've become Look at this world, what have we done? At a time we had it all Now we wait to watch the fall So this will be the last move I ever make and if you hear this words, then it's too late I'm a martyr with nothing to die for Except to save me from the world outside So with these words I bid you farewell Climb on my cross and die I'm a martyr with nothing to die for On this cross my last words are said Nothing here will change without me 'Cause we're already dead

about

The legendary first official All Hallow’s Evil release. Some say it was recorded by candlelight in a haunted cave. Some say it was recorded by plugging a Boss Metal Zone pedal into the family computer. Those people are right.

Recently remastered to protect your speakers, but not remixed so as to preserve the original artistic intent (also, I don't have the tracks anymore).

And yes, the cover is a picture of me holding my grandmother's head (certain members of my family think of metal as "kill your grandma music" and I can be a real shit stirrer). Not only did she actually take the picture of me, she kept this cover on her wall until she died.
