KOBRA AND THE LOTUS LYRICS

1. Gotham

Where is your god?
The one you claim will save this city
from condemning all to digging their own grave
The malice in your flesh is starting to burn holes
Struggling to resist this baited smell of rotting souls

Blood in your lies, another man found dead
You know what you did and now you'll pay the suffering

Fallen angels
Fallen from despair
Their wings are broken
Covetous nature
Far beyond repair
This city, this city is evil

High speed chasing again
Strapped up with a vengeance for sin
Crimson dilation, cold infiltration
I'm putting you away for good

You surrender to me
But I am paralyzed as our eyes meet
I've become the corruption with wings of destruction
Damned for eternity

Fallen angels
Fallen from despair
Their wings are broken
Covetous nature
Far beyond repair
This city, this city is evil

Could there be a glimmer in the cracks of your despair?
There's still hope for us, I repent
Bring us grace

[Guitar solo]

Fallen angels
Fallen from despair
Their wings are broken
Covetous nature
Far beyond repair
This city, this city is evil
Fallen angels
Fallen from despair
Their wings are broken
Covetous nature
Far beyond repair
This city, this city is evil

2. Trigger Pulse

Becoming a resistance, ignition coil tightening
Elevating tension, reached the point of fragmententing
As I turn to dust in the atmosphere
Floating from gravity
I set off like a trigger pulse
Shattering into space
Trigger pulse

Elemental patterns, woven too deep to remove
Convoluted fabric, this body's hardly bullet proof

As I turn to dust in the atmosphere
Floating from gravity
I set off like a trigger pulse
Shattering into space

Rise! Rise against the pulse
Rise! Triggered no more
Colour me encouraged!

As I turn to dust in the atmosphere
Floating from gravity
I set off like a trigger pulse
Shattering into space

3. You Don't Know

Did you ever think for a second
I'm only human too.
You have no perception of all the struggles that I have been through.
Listening to the nothingness I'm hearing while I watch your lips move.
If you really knew me, you'd think twice about creating my truth.
I'm sick and tired of feeling my face on fire when you don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know what it's like to be me.
No, you don't know what it's like to be me.
You are on the outside always looking in but never asking questions.
Could it be that you won't understand that we're both born of innocence.
Empty conversations, we know nothing of each other's solitude.
You don't know the reasons that made me, and I don't know you.
I'm sick and tired of feeling my faith expire in the lies we keep on telling ourselves.
You don't know what it's like to be me.
No, you don't know what it's like to be me.
You don't know what it's like to be me.
No, you don't know what it's like to be me.
Can you hear the sound of me breaking down when the judgment calls I'm held against your wall.
No, you don't know, you don't know what it's like, what it's like, to be me.

4. Specimen X (The Mortal Chamber)

Tormented endlessly, an internal purgatory
I am tortured by the thorns of my will
Violently grating the layers off any inhibitions
My deepest secrets are exposed (reveal yourself)

I'm vulnerable, bleeding uncontrollably
Inconsolable, drowning in the pain

Hey! Can you hear me? Can you hear me calling?
I'm locked behind these walls and can't get out
Anybody, if you hear me, can you help me?
I am trapped inside this mortal prison cell

Scraping the mortar with my blood encrusted nails
My demons lacerate the virtue in my head
Slowly unhinging I am rocking with insanity
I'm fading farther into darkness
I am dancing with the dead

They're maleficent (maleficent)
So treacherous (treacherous)
Can anybody hear me? Anybody?!

Hey! Can you hear me? Can you hear me calling?
I'm locked behind these walls and can't get out
Anybody, if you hear me, can you help me?
I am trapped inside this mortal prison cell

Hey! Can you hear me? Can you hear me calling?
I'm locked behind these walls and can't get out
Anybody, if you hear me, can you help me?
I am trapped inside this mortal prison cell

Whoaaa

5. Light Me Up

Watching you sitting there alone again
The pain is eating you alive
You're suffering
Wonder If I'll ever see you whole again
If I had just one wish, I'd take it all away

Don't let go
I'll find you in the darkness
I need you
Light up for me
Don't let go
I'll find you in the darkness
Never leave you
Light up for me

Open up, I'll be your light
Just let me in
I'd give it all just to hear your laughter again
You're the one, the only one that made me feel
I want it back, the light you had
Hold on to me!

Don't let go
I'll find you in the darkness
I need you
Light up for me
Don't let go
I'll find you in the darkness
Never leave you
Light up for me

I know the weight of the pain you feel
I'll share your burden, I'll help you heal

Don't let go
I'll find you in the darkness
I need you
Light up for me
Don't let go
I'll find you in the darkness
Never leave you
Light up for me
Light up for me
Light up for me

6. Manifest Destiny

New found awareness
I finally think I've walked down the right road
Breath in the fullness of running with the choice to let it go
Let it go, let it go

I am alive! Manifesting destiny
Are you alive?! Manifest your destiny

I am a child swimming in an ocean of possiblity
(Become the love you seek)
Learning the lessons of how hard it is to love unconditionally
We can change how we see

I am alive! Manifesting destiny
Are you alive?! Manifest your destiny

Happiness, happiness, could you imagine that?
True happiness, happiness, wouldn't you want that?

Open, open your hands if you want to be held
See the sky will catch you
If you fall thru every moment with a curious mind
Be silent

Manifest! Manifest! Your destiny
Manifest! Manifest! Your destiny
Manifest! Manifest! Your destiny
Manifest! Manifest! Your destiny

Are you alive?! I am alive!
Are you alive?! I am alive!
Are you alive?! Are you alive??
We are alive!! We are alive!!

7. Victim

I don't get it, the way you're wearing your pride arond your knees
You're always finding another reason to trigger and release
And blame
Blame anybody but yourself for your mistakes
Why won't you awaken, awaken!
Open up your eyes and see that

Life! is all you get!
And there's no coming back
Why would you live it like it's a renegade?
Throwing it all away

You're a reject (total misfit)
Feel like a defect but you're no different from anyone else
There's no place here for all your anger
Stop feeling sorry for yourself

Don't blame
Don't blame this good good life for throwing shit in your face
Why won't you awaken, awaken!
Open up your eyes and see that

Life! is all you get!
And there's no coming back
Why would you live it like it's a renegade?
Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away

Life! is all you get!
And there's no coming back
Why would you live it like it's a renegade?
Your life is all you get!
There are no second chances
So, why would you live it like it's a renegade?
Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
You're throwing it all away

8. Check The Phyrg

[Instrumental]

9. Hell On Earth

Trapped in a prison of sickness and pain
Watching the world go by
Sitting in torment, I hear people calling but I can't reply

I'm locked out by my misery, scraping my knees on eternity

Whoa, this is hell on earth
Whoa, I found the devil
The devil's inside me

Oh how I love the taste of my own blood

I am an addict to all my excuses
Belive me I'll find a new vein
Don't try to help me
I won't take it kindly
I'm confortable in my decay

I shut out possibility
I won't admit it, that would make me weak

Whoa, this is hell on earth
Whoa, I found the devil
The devil's inside me

Whoa, this is hell on earth
Whoa, I've let in the devil
For the devil will never blame me
Ha!!

Sympathy, empathy, give it all to me!
Am I sick? Is this a trick?
A devil inside me

Did you think it was going to be that easy?
I'm addicted to my disease
You can't help me!

Whoa, this is hell on earth
Whoa, I found the devil
The devil's inside me

Whoa, this is hell on earth
Whoa, my own hell
My hell on earth

Hell, hell on earth
Hell, hell on earth
Hell, hell on earth
Hell, hell on earth
Hell, hell on earth
Hell, hell on earth
Hell, hell on earth

10. Prevail

Gather around all my brothers and sisters
For today is the day we change everything
We've travelled so far in this journey of existence
Don't you think it's time we had a little peace?

This is for all the non-believers
The ones who said we'd never make it out
This is for all the adversaries in our heads
That filled our minds with failure and self-doubt

Hear our war cry!

We will prevail
And we're never backing down
With the flame of courage in our eyes
Magnificence!
We will prevail!

So tell me, won't you tell me all the ways you were denied
I assure you everyone here's been there too
Don't forget we are all lions born of strength and fortitude
So get up, lets fight the battle of our lives!!

This is for all the non-believers
The ones who said we'd never make it out (I'll make it out!)
This is for all the adversaries in our heads
That filled our minds with failure and self-doubt

Hear our war cry!

We will prevail
And we're never backing down
With the flame of courage in our eyes
Magnificence! Magnificence!
We will prevail!
And we're never backing down
With the strength and courage, we survive!
Fight for your lives!
We will prevail!

Whoa

Hear our war cry!

We will prevail
And we're never backing down
With the strength and courage, we survive!
Fight for your lives!
We will prevail!
We will prevail!
We will prevail!
We will prevail!
