ADVOCATES LYRICS

1. Mindless

We will never see this come to an end
We fight a losing battle from the start
Farewell to home, farewell to your throne,
You’ll never see this come to a fucking end

2. Kings

We aren’t the daggers pressed against your back
All so familiar this hate must feel, the time of day wasn’t yours to give,
but to these vultures you’d sell almost any fucking thing

Where do we draw the line? And do we draw it in your blood?
We’re giving it as good as we get it, you opened our eyes.

We were so close to abandoning a pointless crusade, led by the weak, the blind and the suffering. I thought I knew your motives most of all, but in this act, you played us all.

And our scars mark the lessons we’ve learned, and our pasts will stay the same. I wont regret all the words that I said, because our past will stay the same.

Mark my words, you’ll never see another sunset
Mark my words, you’ll never see another fucking day end

Keep holding back, and hold fast to the ropes of your demise.
It’s never been so hard to live, it never was and it never ends. And ill take the sight of your cursed face with open arms
Our scars mark the lessons we’ve learned, and our past will always be the same
Our scars mark the lessons we’ve learned, and our pasts will never fucking change
Would you give it all for another shot at us?

3. The Viking

Following this cold path, never gave me the crown
It’s never been so hard to trust myself
When all I had is gone, and replaced with uncertainty
I seek a lonely horizon

For all the hearts that I stole
I’m giving back on greater than my own
For all the lives that I've twisted and broken
I’ll take a knife to the king of misfortune

And I’m still counting down the days
Till someone opens the cage, and throws me away
When everything I loved has turned on me

I am the bane of my existence

And with all that I could have been
With every aspect of who and what i am
i made all the wrong fucking decisions

With all that I could have been
With every aspect of who I am
I made all the wrong decisions

4. Grizzly Adams

I swear to you this happens every fucking night
Go on and test me, judge me just to pass the time
There’s no excuse, so just cut me loose
And I’ll keep living it up

I'll keep you close at hand
Oh, deceiver you've got nothing on me
You'll not replace what you never had

You can’t stand here; the ground will swallow you whole
Don’t say that we still have time
My feet are firmly planted, and you’re six feet under ground

Set free, alone in your desperate attempts
To bring back ones who left you
You fake, you fucking fake

Shallow words will fall upon these fragile ears
Weighing me down, faded, I stare without reflection
You never gave me what i needed, never loved without reprise
And now you'll burn for it

Hold me back
I can't control myself

Keep me back, your worst nightmare, your ender

Wear your captives
Like armour around you

I swear to you this happens every fucking night
Go on and test me, judge me just to pass the time
There’s no excuse, so just cut me loose
And I’ll keep living it up, living it up

I wont let go, of everything I held so close, you were never there
I never felt you there, just an illusion of sympathy.

5. Giants

A familiar sight of betrayal, that we all saw coming
How a captain can abandon his ship, but still the ship grows stronger
They say to keep your friends close, and your enemies’ closer
Well I would rather see my enemies fade out of sight, out of mind into a sea of nothing.

We are the giants!

So tell me how it's all a lie how it's only rumours.
Don't believe a fucking word you said to me
Hold your tounge your wasting your time
You are only fanning the flames making them grow
The harder you try to defeat us the stronger it makes us
Watch as this monster you have created destroy everything you know.

6. Deadweight

Hold out on what is real, I believed in an open- ended fate
And everything I took for granted, will all but redefine me.

Blank stares calling out the coward in me,
Their eyes pierce like bitter cold.
I built this hell with my own two hands, blood mixed with the mortar and bricks made of fucking gold.

Keep me awake, and embrace the nothing
Being buried alive under the weight of passing time,
I can't breathe, I can't see, through these bloodshot eyes

Keep me alive, these chains that bind and break me
Attached to the anchors of my demise
And I will rest on the ocean floor.

I am Deadweight

Regret is all I have, I hold against myself the weight of the world, as the weight of my world, comes crashing down. I can’t win.
Regret is all I know, hold against myself the weight of the world, as the weight of my world, comes crashing down. I can’t win.

All I know, is this hell I've built
And all I hear are the wolves at my doorstep.
They're taking all I have; they're waiting patiently to watch me fall.

Regret is all I have, I hold against myself the weight of the world, as the weight of my world, comes crashing down. I can’t win. Regret is all I know, I hold against myself the weight of the world, as the weight of my world, comes crashing down. I can’t win.

7. Trophies

Raised by wolves and never cared for
Suddenly they changed, everyone is different.
Why would you defy me? I'm in way over my head
Will we ever see the day of an honest opinion and not just some flattery?
On my own I built my way out of nothing
I will let you know when the lies you have lead impact me
Or make me a different man
At the end of the day, I'm still me
And I'm not going away; you've done this once
So how am I the fake?

We won't be the ones who denied you
Pushing away everything I wanted
Don't trip, grow up and move forward
Just pray to god that we don't find you.

We are the ones who came away with the answers on our own
We are the ones who came away with the answers on our own

I swear I've heard it a million times before,
“It will get worse before better”
Sometimes its maybe sometimes it’s never

Day in, day out I'm starting back where I began.
I need a moment to step back and my find myself
Before you put me inside of your trophy case

This is your last chance to thank me; I'm not waiting for anything again
You can't look back if you wanna move forward
In the end you'll be playing the victim.

8. At War With Wolves

So I’m back to where I started, living my life as a dream,
Contemplating if I move on or just give in.
Blame it all on me, I am the enemy
The alter-ego of my friends and my family
This will be the end, a new beginning; don’t underestimate what is yet to come and what the truth has sung.

Day by day we are haunted, thoughts dragging us under, give me something to keep my head above water
All I can do is think of how to get myself out alive

I’ll let you know that you might have outsmarted us
But times have changed and we’ll be taking it back for once
We are the soldiers, we are the keepers
And we will rise up to beat this

In the distance, I see the march of man and not the diamonds he feasts upon
Are you with me?
We’ll take the king and put him in his fucking place
We’ll take the king and put him in his place

What will you do when the hunter becomes the hunted?

Standing alone while you speak out of turn, I listen wondering when this will become my concern, when will I learn, when will I free myself of these problems
This is my lesson; teach me piece by piece, I realized there’s nothing left for me
I look down and see nothing, I cant believe these are my memories, faded, washing their way out to sea, I’m back to living my life as a dream

I built up walls of regret, I was the architect, life’s no longer something that I try so fucking hard to forget
I’ve been searching for days
