Won't walk the Earth a specter
Won't hold my tongue from lashing out
This is my writ of honor
Drawn by the blood that I have shed
The beasts will soon assemble
Conjoining in their putrid flesh
Their hearts don't beat desire
They pump violence and poison
Flesh opens up, blood's retreating
Flesh opens up, blood's retreating
Death's embracing, all is ending
Death's embracing, all is ending
Time will not heal all of your pain
I cannot wait for it all to come crashing
Down
The monsters walk among us
Leeching the blood out from what's good
Infecting at transmission
Swallowing innocence from life
Our time has come to stand forth
The wretched womb from which they feed
Behold the loathsome demons
Send them into the hell they made
Flesh opens up, blood's retreating
Flesh opens up, blood's retreating
Death's embracing, all is ending
Death's embracing, all is ending
Time will not heal all of your pain
I cannot wait for it all to come crashing
Down on your face, ripping your veins out
Your insides win and kill you from within
And the seas will rise as serpents
Spawned from the mouth of Earth's surface
Soon the skies will fall fast, burning
Open wide and eat the suffering
The pulse is now quickening
Softly, it's painstaking
Look within to calm the storm
Raging inside the form
There's no turning back
For I'm witness to the changing
Take all you have brought to sacrifice
For you will lose much more
If you succeed in this battle
You still will lose so much more
The pulse is now quickening
Softly, it's painstaking
Look within to calm the storm
Raging inside the form
There's no turning back
For I'm witness to the changing
Take all you have brought to sacrifice
For you will lose much more
If you succeed in this battle
You still will lose so much more
Time has come to face all evil
Now the seas rise up as serpents
Spawned from the mouth of Earth's surface
As the skies now fall fast burning
Open wide and face the suffering
The inferno spews out hell's horde
Casting the flames upon our world
As death eclipses all the light
We make our last stand, ‘til death: fight
Time will not heal all of your pain
I cannot wait for it all to come crashing
Time will not heal all of your pain
I cannot wait for it all to come crashing
Down on your face, ripping your veins out
Your insides win and kill you from within
Won't hold my tongue from lashing out
This is my writ of honor
Drawn by the blood that I have shed
The beasts will soon assemble
Conjoining in their putrid flesh
Their hearts don't beat desire
They pump violence and poison
Flesh opens up, blood's retreating
Flesh opens up, blood's retreating
Death's embracing, all is ending
Death's embracing, all is ending
Time will not heal all of your pain
I cannot wait for it all to come crashing
Down
The monsters walk among us
Leeching the blood out from what's good
Infecting at transmission
Swallowing innocence from life
Our time has come to stand forth
The wretched womb from which they feed
Behold the loathsome demons
Send them into the hell they made
Flesh opens up, blood's retreating
Flesh opens up, blood's retreating
Death's embracing, all is ending
Death's embracing, all is ending
Time will not heal all of your pain
I cannot wait for it all to come crashing

Spawned from the mouth of Earth's surface

it kicked your ass in the face? thats pretty fuckin bad ass dude lmao... but yea this whole cd is amazing, they really improoved on the soloing, although i think the drums are a little bland compared to ascendancy and the crusade... but none the less i like the aproach of addressing americas failing society on this album, im american (canadian) and i can honestly say we are slowly raping ourselves
Amazing song the chorus is the intro to kirute gomen fucking awsome
This song is fucking EPIC. It kicked my ass, RIGHT IN THE FACE.
brutal song. i love it. especially the chorus. it just has something about it..
Yes, I think it's totally awesome too!
Lyrics are pretty self explanatory.
When I listen to this song, I think of the Seven Samurai. In the beginning, the seven of them were hired by a warlord to fight a battle, though they didn't want to because they felt their was no honor in joining with him. In the beginning of the song, all seven of them are fighting against their lord's enemies. When the song gets to the middle, after the second chorus, the battle is quickly reaching its climax, and the samurai's side is winning, but their lives are lost as a result, or so they thought. When the song starts to get slow, the samurai are all lying unconscious.
They soon wake up, but are wounded, and are looking around at the battlefield, at all of the bodies lying there. Seeing as they have no more meaning to be on the battlefield, they start to walk off, but can't as they are so wounded. They collaspe near a village, where they are healed and are treated kindly by the villagers. But soon they hear that their former warlord plans to attack the village. The seven samurai fight once more against the warlord, and succeed in destroying him and their army. However, they all lose their lives once more. They are remembered by the villagers for their sacrifice.
To me, this song talks about the government feels soldiers lives are expendable, and that they quickly be replaced. The line 'you will lose so much more' proves that. The government wins the war, but they lost so many of their troops' lives. But the soldiers don't care about this, because they are fighting to protect something that is very dear to them, but the government fails to see this.
Yeah, feel free to agree or disagree. Just wanted to put my opinion in.
Awesome song, not really sure what it means, new album is sweet very much like ascendancy, though I did enjoy the Crusade
Wow, this song kicks ass...
I think Strongbad would love this song, so much meedly meedly meedly bits after the first solo!
Not sure on the meaning, something to do with society crashing down on itself methinks!
First off, this song is fucking amazing, and I think this song is definitely about revenge. It makes sense, time will not heal all of your pain (get off your fucking ass and do something>revenge). I can't wait for it all to come crashing down on your face(definitely revenge). Then during the bridge he's talking about the pain that vengeance brings. One of the best songs off this album, trivium is killer!!!
