1. RISE



Rise! Get yourselves together
Rise! Stand up and live your life
Rise! Get yourselves together
Rise! Hands up, hands up high

Hey!

Stand up to the devil slowly rising
Clear your throat now
You can call for their demise
Speak out, don't let the status quo define you
This is your world, just put the fear back in their eyes

There comes a time when you know there's a problem

Rise up, it's a dawn of a new day
Hands up, it's gonna be okay
Even when they strangle you, get yourselves together
Strike down all that oppose you
Look now, what have they sold you
Even if they anger you, get yourselves together

Get yourselves together
Rise! Get yourself together!
Rise! Stand up and live your life!
Rise! Get yourselves together!

Wake up, this could be your finest hour
Pick your head up, and get your body off the floor
Hey now, don't be afraid to fight for something
This is your chance, and you can stand for so much more

There comes a time when you know there's a problem

Rise up, it's a dawn of a new day
Hands up, it's gonna be okay
Even when they strangle you, get yourselves together
Strike down all that oppose you
Look now, what have they sold you
Even if they anger you, get yourselves together
Get yourselves together
Rise!

Rise! Get yourselves together!
Rise! Stand up and live your life!

Rise up, it's the dawn of a new day
Hands up, it's gonna be okay
Even when they strangle you, get yourselves together
Strike down all that oppose you
Look now, what have they sold you
Even if they anger you, get yourselves together
Get yourselves together

Rise! Get yourselves together!
Rise! Stand up and live your life!
Rise! Get yourselves together!
Rise! Hands up, hands up high!





2. YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE



Hey, how long have you been crawling
With the sick and the appalling
It's like a cancer
Hey, you gotta rise up out of darkness
Gotta leave behind the heartless
You'll find the answer

If you're the last on Earth
Feel like you're damned or cursed
You have come to the right place
And if you have lost yourself
You can escape the hell
You have come to the right place

Sometimes you feel like giving up
Sometimes you've bled out enough
Sometimes you've got to believe in something
Cause you're not the only one
Standing there losing blood
You have come to the right place this time

Hey, how long have you been rotting
Your veins are slowly clotting
You're growing weaker
Hey, you gotta wake up from the nightmare
There's nothing you will find there
Except the reaper

If you're the last on Earth
Feel like you're damned or cursed
You have come to the right place
And if you have lost yourself
You can escape the hell
You have come to the right place

Sometimes you feel like giving up
Sometimes you've bled out enough
Sometimes you've got to believe in something
Cause you're not the only one
Standing there losing blood
You have come to the right place

Sometimes you feel like giving up
Sometimes you've bled out enough
Sometimes you've got to believe in something
Cause you're not the only one
Standing there losing blood
You have come to the right place

If you're the last on Earth
Feel like you're damned or cursed
You have come to the right place
And if you have lost yourself
You can escape the hell
You have come to the right place

Sometimes you feel like giving up
Sometimes you've bled out enough
Sometimes you've gotta believe in something
Cause you're not the only one
Standing there losing blood
You have come to the right place this time





3. I'M SICK



I, bit down on my tongue to see if I could feel
To see if I've been missing anything
And I, I crystallized my lungs to show you they were real
And waited for a sign that never came

If I'm not breathing, resuscitate my soul
Bring on the shame, bring on the pain
Yeah, I know that I'm sick, give me some more
I say yeah, we are the ill and the deranged
Yeah, I know that I'm sick, give me some more

I'm wishing you the worst 'cause I'm the bitter kind
And all this hate's been covered by a veil
But I, I might forget your name and I'll forget my lies
And maybe I'll just lay here on the rails

If I'm not breathing, resuscitate my soul
Bring on the shame, bring on the pain
Yeah, I know that I'm sick, give me some more
I say yeah, we are the ill and the deranged
Yeah, I know that I'm sick, give me some more
Give me some more...

Laugh at my face as I hang from this rope
I'm such a disgrace with my misguided hope
I look at my life in the blackest of ways
But when in the hell will this fear go away

Laugh at my face as I hang from this rope
I feel the disgrace with my misguided hope
I look at my life in the blackest of ways
When in the hell will this fear go away

Bring on the shame, bring on the pain
Yeah, I know that I'm sick, give me some more
I say yeah, we are the ill and the deranged
Yeah, I know that I'm sick, give me some more
Give me some more...





4. PRAYERS FOR THE DAMNED



When I wake up to the sound of demons
They're always telling me that I'm no good
And all the angels keep scratching at my door
I'm doing what I can to fight this anger
I'm just a product of a living hell
And I don't wanna live like this no more

Everything is crumbling in my head
Sometimes I wish I was...

But maybe I'm not alone
Maybe if you take my hand
And I reach up to God
Maybe this time he'll say a prayer for the damned
What have I got to lose
When I've already lost it all
Maybe this time he'll say a prayer for...
Say a prayer for the damned
For the damned

Have you ever been abused by someone
So brutal that it chills your soul
Have you ever been afraid of your own ghost
I'm just a creature of a broken past
We're all looking for a second chance
And I don't wanna live like this no more

And all the madness rages in my head
Sometimes I wish I was...

But maybe I'm not alone
Maybe if you take my hand
And I reach up to God
Maybe this time he'll say a prayer for the damned
What have I got to lose
When I've already lost it all
Maybe this time he'll say a prayer for...
Say a prayer for the damned

We are not alone
It's darkest before the hope
You and I, we're not alone

Maybe I'm not alone
Maybe if you take my hand
And I reach up to God
Maybe this time he'll say a prayer for the damned
What have we got to lose
When we've already lost it all
Maybe this time he'll say a prayer for...
Say a prayer for the damned

Say a prayer for the damned
Say a prayer for the damned
Say a prayer for the damned
Say a prayer for the...




5. BETTER MAN




Where is the blood I gave you?
Where is the sacrifice I made?
What the hell happened to me?
When did I turn so damn afraid?

I fly on crippled wings
But I will take your bitterness away
Where is the blood I gave you?
Where is the sacrifice I made?

I wanna let you know
These scars are here forever
Heaven help me be a better man
I really hope it shows
I'm mighty cracked and broken
Heaven help me be a better man

I try to swallow hard now
cause I can't see beyond the blur
But I could make a new vow
Or die for you if you'd prefer

Did I become so vacant?
Have I just made this all a mess?
I know you've lost your patience
I'll beg forgiveness if there's half a chance
Just half a chance

I wanna let you know
These scars are here forever
Heaven help me be a better man
I really hope it shows
I'm mighty cracked and broken
Heaven help me be a better man

Sometimes my best isn't good enough
But I do what I can trying to be a better man
Give me a second chance, I'm gonna make it last
I'll do the best I can trying to be a better man

I wanna let you know
These scars are here forever
Heaven help me be a better man
I really hope it shows
I'm mighty cracked and broken
Heaven help me be a better man

Sometimes my best isn't good enough
But I do what I can trying to be a better man
Give me a second chance, I'm gonna make it last
I'll do the best I can trying to be a better man.

For you
For you
For me





6. CAN'T STOP



Every time you target me you really only waste your time
And what's the difference of a carcass and a human mind
You can't stop, you cannot stop me
You got blisters on your tongue from all the septic energy
Just another bitter leech sucking off a killing streak

You can't stop, you cannot stop me
You can't stop, you cannot stop me

Cold and jealous with apocalyptic malice
A kick to my head, nice try, but you can't stop me
You can't stop, you cannot stop me

Well everything you thought was wrong, you fucking idiot
Someone sold you off and now you're just another hypocrite
You can't stop, you cannot stop me
There's gonna come a day when you regretfully remember this
A toxic love affair that's ending in a brutal kiss
You can't stop, you cannot stop me

Cold and jealous with apocalyptic malice
A kick to my head, nice try, but you can't stop me
You can't stop, you cannot stop me
You try to hold me back, put poison in the cracks
And pray for my death, but you just can't stop me
You can't stop, you cannot stop me

You can't stop, you cannot stop me
You can't stop, you cannot stop me

You can't stop, you cannot stop me
You can't stop, you cannot stop me





7. WHEN WE WERE GODS



You and I in embryonic fluid
So entwined we could not let go
Cradled in your arms, reading poems of darkness
Fueled our love, it fueled our love
But I just want you to remember

When we were gods, when we were demons
We had it all, we had our reasons
We danced through the victories, we lived through the scars
I counted blessings while you counted stars
We had it all, yeah we had it all
When we were gods

Even now, covered in your ashes
Swollen tongue, bloodshot eyes
I am not defined by all of your disorders
I am good, and I will rise
But I just want you to remember

When we were gods, when we were demons
We had it all, we had our reasons
We danced through the victories, we lived through the scars
I counted blessings while you counted stars
We had it all, yeah we had it all
When we were gods
When we were gods

You thought you could violate me when you wanted to
You thought you could kill the part of me that haunted you
You thought you could violate me when you wanted to
You thought you could kill the part of me that haunted you

When we were gods, when we were demons
We had it all, we had our reasons
We danced through the victories, lived through the scars
I counted blessings while you counted stars
We had it all, yeah we had it all
When we were gods
When we were gods





8. BELLY OF THE BEAST



I stared at the face of evil in the belly of the beast
I turned my back on Jesus in the belly of the beast
Sometimes your only choice is no choice at all
Sometimes the only voice you hear is when the devil calls
So listen

I'm holding on, I'm holding on
It don't matter how deep you're digging in the belly of the beast
It don't matter how far you're falling in the belly of the beast
Sometimes it's not worth dying in the belly of the beast
You better pray for your sins to kill you fast
You better pray how long this life will last
Cause what you do, what do when you're living
Is what you do, what you do when you die

I dove off the cliffs of sadness in the belly of the beast
I inhaled the fumes of madness in the belly of the beast
Sometimes your only choice is no choice at all
Sometimes the only voice you hear is when the devil calls
So listen

I'm holding on, I'm holding on
It don't matter how deep you're digging in the belly of the beast
It don't matter how far you're falling in the belly of the beast
Sometimes it's not worth dying in the belly of the beast
You better pray for your sins to kill you fast
You better pray how long this life will last
Cause what you do, what do when you're living
Is what you do, what you do when you die

It don't matter how deep you're digging in the belly of the beast
It don't matter how far you're falling in the belly of the beast

Sometimes it's not worth dying in the belly of the beast
You better pray for your sins to kill you fast
You better pray how long this life will last
Cause what you do, what do when you're living
Is what you do, what you do when you die





9. EVERYTHING WENT TO HELL



Sometimes it feels like you're my fucking enemy
You've got your demons in play, you've got your demons
Sometimes I fantasize that you will die instead of me
You've got your demons in play, you've got your demons
I could've loved you to death, but now I dance on your grave
You've got your demons in play, you've got your demons
I tried, but I can't erase it

I watched you fucking him
Right then your life was over
Thought you were heaven-sent
Then everything went to hell
I watched you take him then
And I just stood there frozen
You killed what could have been
And everything went to hell

Sometimes it feels like you laugh at all my misery
You've got your demons in play, you've got your demons
Sometimes I'm paralyzed by my reckless jealousy
You've got your demons in play, you've got your demons
I could've loved you to death, but now I dance on your grave
You've got your demons in play, you've got your demons
I, I tried, but I can't erase it

I watched you fucking him
Right then your life was over
Thought you were heaven-sent
Then everything went to hell
I watched you take him then
And I just stood there frozen
You killed what could have been
And everything went to hell

I watched you fucking him
Right then your life was over
Thought you were heaven-sent
Then everything went to hell
I watched you take him then
And I just stood there frozen
You killed what could have been
And everything went to hell




10. THE LAST TIME (MY HEART WILL HIT THE GROUND)



I thought that I was dead
I thought my life was over
You could've snapped my neck
It wouldn't even make a difference

I was a bloody mess
I couldn't get enough of this

I've been broken, I've been beaten down
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground
I can take it, I can face it now
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground

I was a worthless king
My life just didn't matter
You were a morbid queen
Dancing with this cold cadaver

Hell put me to the test
I couldn't get enough of it

I've been broken, I've been beaten down
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground
I can take it, I can face it now
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground

I was the innocent
Attempting murder on myself
You weren't the only one
Falling from the cross-hairs that you held

I smelled betrayal on your hands
You cut me open where I stand
I was the innocent
I was the innocent

I've been broken, I've been beaten down
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground
I can take it, I can face it now
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground

I've been broken, I've been beaten down
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground
I can take it, I can face it now
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground





11. RISE OF THE MELANCHOLY EMPIRE



There's always struggle here
With senseless pain and murder
No mother's milk to sip
No innocence to nurture

May God be cruel to you
May he rain his hell upon you

We will grow strong from this
We will not be defeated
However hard they try
Over and over and over a thousand times

Through all this suffering
As fall turns into winter
We will be back again
And grown in newfound numbers

May God be cruel to you
May he rain his hell upon you

We will grow strong from this
We will not be defeated
However hard they try
Over and over and over a thousand times

We will grow strong from this
We will not be defeated
However hard they try
Over and over and over a thousand times
