SLEEP SERAPIS SLEEP LYRICS

1. Dead Man Walking

Virtue left Him by the wayside
And lent his crown to the condemned
Virtue left Him by the wayside
And against the odds He withstood His fate

Dead
Man
Walking

2. In Persuit Of A Deadlier Sin

Heroes of His majesty's royal army:
Fear not Death! Nor be so selfish as to fear...

Where was the fear for your predecessors?
It loves them not; It saves them not
All dark and comfortless,
Carve your legacy upon their open chests

Your end shows not your journey
So be filled with resolution.
Though tomorrow may be Hell
You'll be fit for execution.

Make them cower before your might
Let this so-called demon teach you how to fight

No harm shall ever come to you
So long as you remain champions of my pursuit

Here's a captain lost at sea
My tongue is numb and there's a shipwreck inside me

Consider this
Or then yourself warned
Is it you to be
Exalted, mourned?
Mercy is not itself
That oft looks so
Pardon is still the nurse
Of second woe

Let's fall like fresh death
From the accused
Fortify the gates
They're getting through,

Sipping down Molotov cocktails
Left in the dark
There's only one way out now
Don't fight the spark!

3. Ed Gein Just Wasn't Comfortable In His Own Skin

Nothing’s wrong with a little wronging now and then,
only to seek a little fortune for myself
If there’s a better
Time, a better place then you name it; Just know that your obligations aren’t the only ones at hand
If there’s a will
There’s a way
And my will be done this way
Your devotion wavers today

I’ll cut you off!
Like fingers or digits or anyone else who didn’t think this through
Who didn’t think me through?
This is, This is... this is the lust of our likeness
This is the root of your wrath.

You wiped that smile right from my face
So I’ll scrape that face right from it’s skull

I took my time
With this one
I Loved her
Anger-saturated skin

Is this the
Essence of us all?
What have we done?

Oh God, what have we done?

Meow.

Revisit; sanctioned and consensual;
Too much, it seems. Though the morals have changed
What remains familiarity, conceived in this bed
Is 'Who’s laughing now?', when I’m right and you’re dead...

Death to the traitor
To the nation of my expectations
Death to the traitor
To the nation... my nation

4. Southern Justice

5. Optimism - The Game Won By Not Playing

6. Apostatize! (The Jack Daily Experience)

7. The Martyr To End All Martyrs

Here,
A martyr prayed to the gods of his executioner
As we, like dust, are confined to the fates of our former selves

And I'll watch
As you flaunt your flawed perfections
But there's no need
To mask these perfect flaws

I PROMISE YOU'LL FEEL AT HOME, SO
FOLLOW ME TO REALITY

The cough exacerbates
While the hemorrhages subside
We're reaching; We're siezing
It's not pain that breaks me.

Go ahead!
Spill your guts to the mirror, to your reflection.
But there aren't enough organs to your system to lead a double life.

Is this who you're fooling?
...meeting eyes with Destiny.
If you, by chance, take that glance,
Will you like what you see?

Just quench your hate on me.
Cause I've resigned myself to He
And none who love themselves too much to see
They're not the deity they claim to be

I see this premeditated
Not quite enough to be convinced
Still, He'll bring this to fruition
Still, all too much for coincidence

Somehow I knew it'd come to this
In this state of heightened reflex
We're here to let our lives be lead
Therefore, purge this sin from your chest!

I PROMISE YOU'LL FEEL AT HOME, SO
FOLLOW ME TO REALITY

It's moments like these...
That break who you were, and shape who you'll be
Just find something greater and cling for dear life
Life is just that, make it count, son!
