EVERLOST LYRICS

1. Cut Me Loose

Words
Shallow excuses
For those pleasures of ours
Born
Of hate and abuses
Dreams
Lost in my network of scars

Cut me loose of the strings
Placed in the hands of the ignorant fools
'Cause starting today I'm gonna have my own way
And do what I choose
So cut me loose

Voice
Of a personal demon
Drowned in the echoes of hounds
Noise
Of my private redeemer
Scream
Ripping the ocean of sounds

Cut me loose of the strings
Placed in the hands of the ignorant fools
'Cause starting today I'm gonna have my own way
And do what I choose
So cut me loose

Now
The darkest hour's getting
Close
But never mind your fear
Now
It's time to clench the fist
For those
Who've finally made it here

2. A Dream Within A Dream

Once in a while
I dream I'm alive
In a world of my own
But as I get back
The sky becomes black
My heart becomes stone

Watch all your schemes and plans
Misplaced
Destroyed by helping hands
Erased
And all the hopes you had
As good as dead
Life is idle
Death is final
But can't you see
There's something in between

A dream within a dream

Once I'm awake
I'm surrounded by fake
Colorless smiles
Writhing in pain
Inside the domain
Of spiders and flies

Deliberately caged
Enclosed
Too weak to be enraged
Disposed
And all the hopes you had
As good as dead
Life is idle
Death is final
But can't you see
There's something in between

A dream within a dream

Tonight
Abyss calls out to abyss
That's the voice you can't ignore
The light
Invites you into the dream
No mortal ever dreamt before

3. No Justice

When the sky turns bleak
When the air's too thick
Don't be surprised that you've got
Nothing left in your hands
But sand and mud

As the sun goes dim
Just like it was foreseen
Don't be surprised when you see
Nothing left to hold dear
There's no justice in here

No justice in here
And no saints or sinners
I'm above the weakness
Of judging you

Learn to condemn when you've learned to forgive
Learn how to die when you've learned how to live

Oh, it's been too long
Since I knew right from wrong
Since I had the need
To blame you mortals
For your wrath and greed

Look, here comes your messiah
One to take you up higher
One to drag you to hell
Torments or bliss
It's your decision as well

No justice in here
And no saints or sinners
I'm above the weakness
Of judging you

Learn to condemn when you've learned to forgive
Learn how to die when you've learned how to live

No justice
Why can't you see?
There is no justice here
There is just me

4. The Unholy War

World is a will to power
And nothing else
The unholy war for cheap pretense

I hide my face
From this disgrace
The price of fame
Is mine to taste

So as we look upon the sky
We fail to see
That heaven is a lie

You can't reap what you sow
On this treacherous soil
As you struggle for breath
In the serpent's coil

Every single day
Oceans wash away
People with no need
To indulge their greed
Every fortune spent
In this tortured land
Keeps you wanting more
Stronger than before

The unholy war

We climb in vain
Up the food chain
But fail to see that heaven
Is not to blame

Every single day
Oceans wash away
People with no use
For a dead man's shoes
Every fortune spent
In this tortured land
Keeps you wanting more
Stronger than before

The unholy war

5. My Babylon

Traversing
This burning landscape
I miss the pouring rain
And all the years I wasted
Trying to be me again

There stands among the mist
A place of many fortunes
Oasis of my sins
The shelter of my virtues

I'm guided by the star
That shines upon your towers
Concealed within your walls
The secrets of our fathers

Rise from dust and blood
A child of eternal war
You're blessed by God
The one to witness your fall

When the earth beneath the sky
Did not even bear a name
Were the gods just like men
With their desire for fame?

The city of thousands
On its way to demise
Doomed from the start
But I beg you to

Rise from dust and blood
A child of eternal war
You're blessed by God
The one to witness your fall

I've waited too long
Oh, my Babylon!
Every man dies alone
In this Babylon of my own

6. Cargo Cult

Down we fall
To be cleansed of all
Sins and virtues
And on we fight
Dying to invite
The gentle vultures

Through the idols of lust
They try to gain our trust
With the treasures of another world

No man is a prophet here
Why can't you see?
The ones who will light our day
Are here to stay

What gifts do we bring?
Moral bliss and doublethink
Those things you can't live without
So join our cargo cult

7. Birth Machine

My hell is crowded
With angels of regret
My heaven's overburdened
With a swarm of living dead

It's funny how
This animal
Became the ultimate predator
When it only feeds upon its own flesh

The seed has grown
The birth machine goes on and on!

Immune to pestilence
And spared by war

The one who got the party started
Did you ever think
That it would end this way?
That your gift would be abused
By those made of clay

Worn out
By hate
This world keeps turning faster
Let's get it straight
We're heading for disaster
All empty words they speak
Drown in noise
But only for so long
The birth machine goes on!

In the age of sin
We are slaves to this machine
But now the only thing we are told
Enjoy your perfect life in a perfect world

Worn out
By hate
This world keeps turning faster
Let's get it straight
We're heading for disaster
All empty words they speak
Drown in noise
But only for so long
The birth machine goes on and on!

It's funny how
This animal
Became the ultimate predator
It's funny how
This animal
Became the ultimate predator

8. Broken From The Start

Every moment of day
Every waking hour
People sin and betray
So let them feed on each other

But you're
Trying to mend
Imperfections of men
Hey, what you see is what you get
In this godforsaken land
My will is done
And regrets I have none

I've filled my life
With hatred for the black lit sky
You see, love is not enough
For people kill the things they love
And I won't miss
Those who try to get me fixed
It's hardly smart
'Cause I was broken from the start

I'm broken from the start
Broken from the start

I am trapped in these walls
And it's safer within
Walls built from the stones
Thrown at me by those without sin

By those
Trying to mend
Imperfections of men
Hey, what you see is what you get
In this godforsaken land
My will is done
And regrets I have none

I've filled my life
With hatred for the black lit sky
You see, love is not enough
For people kill the things they love
And I won't miss
Those who try to get me fixed
It's hardly smart
'Cause I was broken from the start

9. Theater Of Pain

I dare you to look
Straight through my eyes
Visions you'll see
Of fear and denial
Shrines of forbidden emotions and desires

People who grew
Afraid of the light
Lions led by sheep
Afraid of the fight
Waiting for night
But tomorrow never comes

Welcome to the show
Enjoy the front seat
Pleasure's for granted
But it's pain that you need
Wait! Don't you leave!
We have only just begun
To have some fun

Lost at the theater of pain
Wasting your lives
In the web of lies
Keeping your feelings restrained

I dare you to crawl
The dark of my soul
Shadows of my thoughts
Condemned to these walls
Empty illusions
To feed the nameless ones

Welcome to the show
Enjoy the front seat
Pleasure's for granted
But it's pain that you need
Wait! Don't you leave!
We have only just begun
To have some fun

Lost at the theater of pain
Wasting your lives
In the web of lies
Keeping your feelings restrained

The nameless ones
Enjoy the front seat
Pleasure's for granted
But it's pain that you need

Lost at the theater of pain
Wasting your lives
In the web of lies
Keeping your feelings restrained

Wasting your lives
In the web of lies
Keeping your feelings restrained

10. The Machete Season

Through the static
I hear them call my name
This frequency of malice
Keeps me from remorse and shame

Will they grant forgiveness?
Will they teach me wrong from right?
Lost in the headlines
This inconvenient genocide

Let go of reason
No turning back
The machete season
Those words poisoned me
And revealed the enemy
Destroy to create
In the name of hate

In these trenches
Horror has a face
Traitors and invaders
They need to be erased

In their final hour
When all is said and done
Will this land belong to man
Or to the beast that I've become?

11. Smoke And Mirrors

Fed with noise of the street
Stands the temple of concrete
Our salvation is for sale
Meet the one who doesn't fail

You'll never be the same

Built on greed, born from blood
Last resort to Neon God
Witness to his solemn reign
Watch in awe as he reaps again

I breathe this poison
Just to feel alive

I want to see
Through your smoke and mirrors
I disappear
In the echoes of your nights

You'll never be the same

Now I wear the dead man's face
Forced upon me by this place
Thousands watching through my eyes
Shadow's silent acolytes
