My Retribution
03:25
|
|||
There comes a day when you realize you are nothing you wanted to be,
well, that time is now. Will you lie back down, or rise UP?
Its not the life I'm meant to live
Used by all I have called a friend
How can I turn my cheek again?
No love of self my greatest sin
Nothing more than lies
in a decaying mind
breeds unwilling lives
I see it now
Too many times
we throw away life
never to rise
I was
Fighting for nothing
Living a lie
All because
I gave up the fight
Chorus
I am not
The one you want me to be
I will not
Lie down for you again
I can not
See all you've taken from me
I will not
Let you win
Now rise up
That way of life is done for me
New confidence now takes the lead
Blood clenched fists for all to see
Retribution set me free
Nothing more than lies
in a decaying mind
breeds unwilling lives
I see it now
Too many times
we throw away life
never to rise
I was…
cuz’ I hated myself
I AM NOT
I CAN NOT
Its not the life I'm meant to live
I will not
Use by all I've called a friend
I can not
How can I turn my cheek again?
I will not
No love of self my greatest sin
Fighting for nothing
Living a lie
all because
of you

Blasphemer's Fame
03:49
|
|||
How do you…
Undermine all the words
And slap a faith in the face
All the music I love
Has been sadly disgraced
Do you really believe
All the filth you portray
Was it all for the wealth?
Blasphemer’s fame?
Chorus
I will not pretend
Not to fear what’s at my end
How do you take a bite
Of your maker’s hand?
Your Maker’s hand?
When
The sky
Burns red
Will you believe all you said
Or take the last chance
To regret? Yea….
How do you…
Slander up the good word
And burn the pages of time
Reverse the cross on your neck
Embrace the star of the lie
Preach the word of the goat
And all the words that defy
Was it all for the wealth?
Blasphemer’s fame?
Chorus
When the sky
Is burning red
Believe the lies
Or regret
When the sky is red,
Will believe all you said
When the sky is red
Do you know that it’s the end

War Within
03:45
|
|||
This war it’s ever grinding
No side will ever win
One love, one hate
The choice that reciprocates
One love, one hate
The choice that always lets me drown
Lets me drown
Chorus
God help me
Help me to honor the two
I can’t choose
Both are the lifeblood of me
Can’t they see?
How can I just let one go?
Must they both be released?
Why?
This choice, it will bury me
No life, will be the same
One love, one hate
The choice that reciprocates
One love, one hate
The choice that always lets me drown
Lets me drown
Chorus
They don’t understand
Understand me
I can’t choose

Buried Alive
03:43
|
|||
In this game called life you’re so alone
Everyday’s another war just to stay afloat
The blackest clouds now shroud your eyes
You fail to see the worth in all the failing fights
So beaten down
And pushed around
No ounce of strength to even stand your ground
Buried alive
How do you go on?
How do we go on?
Did I die or is this another dream?
Did I die or is this another dream?
Did I die or is this another dream?
Did I die tonight?
Chorus
Stop digging your grave
It’s not your time
Take off your death mask
And live again
NOW
Now you work so hard just to fall behind
You burned another day for the promised lie
Life will beat you down until you die
Asking God above for another sign
So far behind
No end in sight
You have reached the very end of your line
Buried alive
How do you go on?
How do we go on?
Did I die or is this another dream?
Did I die or is this another dream?
Did I die or is this another dream?
Did I die tonight?
Chorus
Live again, NOW.

Plague: Humanity
03:28
|
|||
We were the ones who stood by and watched her die
Free were the ones who scoffed and held our nose up high
Diseased are the ones who turn away and let it go
We are the ones who will reap everything we sow...
Now go
Rising tides and blackened skies
All things we created
Rising tides and blackened skies
Our fault
Chorus
Failure comes
We must break these chains
Nowhere to run
We are the human plague
We must break
Break free of these chains
This human plague
We are Humanity
We are the ones who must heal our mother dear
Free are the ones who will drown in tides of tears
Diseased are the ones who dismissed the sacred life
We are the ones who are everything despised
Despised
Rising tides and blackened skies
All things we created
Rising tides and blackened skies
It is our fault
Failure comes
We must break these chains
Nowhere to run
We are the human plague
We must break
Break free of these chains
The human plague
We are the disease
The disease
We are the human strain
Rot the Earth
We are the human plague

Fidelity
03:52
|
|||
Another sip goes down
Helps believe in her
Makes us want to try
To lead a solitary life
They all told me to
Go live the dream
But the dream will always lie
So take a bite of the fuckin’ pie
Chorus
All the scars lay down to prepare for more
No matter how much it hurts you always pick the sore
I can’t believe in you
Cause every time I’m left to fuckin’ burn alone
She shares disease and then she disappears
Leaves you sick and filled with all the hate and fear
I’m so ashamed
I’m left to blame
Left to blame
She spread her wings today
White feathered grace
Sang her song of love
With bloody talons below
They all told me to
Just back away
But the beautiful voice pulled me in
Lost again in love’s fuckin’ hateful gaze
Chorus
Blame for the fall again
Ride the storm until the end
To rise above you
When the true one is finally there
The words of truth fall on deaf ears
I can’t believe in you

Devium Springfield, Ohio
Formed in 2007, the metal quintet hailing from home-spun Springfield, Ohio has fought hard to fill a void in the hearts and minds of metal heads everywhere. In the West-Central Ohio town called home by predeceasing metal bands such as Shovelhead, the Midwestern metal heads were aching for the return of their metal roots, as deep seeded in the Midwest as self reliance and character grit. ... more
