SOULFLY LYRICS

1. Superstition

Take away my pride
Leave nothing behind
Tear apart what you believe

Fate comes calling you, beware... beware

Superstition spoken in tongues
Defeated, broken, mangled and torn
Far beyond all the things that you know
Superstition - harder than stone

Wall to wall is where you tread
Your words of dust say everything
Like dying flames, the dread descends
Hold your heart in your bloody hands

Superstition

Nothing is what it seems
Tunnel visions - mind attraction
Beyond the things you know
Destination - pain reaction

Fate comes calling you, beware... beware

Superstition spoken in tongues
Defeated, broken, mangled and torn
Far beyond all the things that you know
Superstition - harder than stone

2. Scouring The Vile

Scouring the vile

A world of scars in the bleakest pit
A refuge raped bred in human shit
Invoke rewards to dull the pain
To slay - in the name of revenge

Sickening
Concealed - behind my dying eyes
I ripped you from me
Choking on air
Scouring the vile

Furious rage against the dying life
Close your eyes, receive the host
Neurotic waves, mentally enslaved
All life slips away

The tumor grows, spreads his wings
Degeneration of everything you know
A frame of mind, dismal soul
Immortalized in dying glow

Sickening
Concealed - behind my dying eyes
I ripped you from me
Choking on air
Scouring the vile

Sickening
Concealed - behind my dying eyes
I ripped you from me
Choking on air
Scouring the vile

3. Filth Upon Filth

Sudden restrain
Plotting to escape
Rotting stench
Corrosion remains
I'll never be this way again
Can I make amends?

Filled inside
With the doubt
Of my mind's eye

Filth upon filth
Persistence deceit
Filth upon filth
Consistent destiny

Suffocate
Strangle the past
Existing far beyond your own intention
Just to witness your demise
Blind to the reason why

Filled inside
With the doubt
Of my mind's eye

Filth upon filth
Persistence deceit
Filth upon filth
Consistent destiny

I taste the blood
In my throat
All your hate
Gives me hope
Time expires
Slow speed
Much like dreams' insanity

4. Rot In Pain

Arteries open
Festering wound
Bleeding out maggots
Lifeless tomb

Bodies on... bodies flesh
Worm feasting now on human trash
Disintegrated mindless brain
Acid burns on a hollow face

I feel the need

Wide as the world
Deep as the grave
Cursed be the death that you know
Rot in pain

Sleep in filth
Blind to what is true
Chaos master
Sentence hell on you

I feel the need

Wide as the world
Deep as the grave
Cursed be the death that you know
Rot in pain

Wide as the world
Deep as the grave
Cursed be the death that you know
Rot in pain

5. The Damage Done

In the ruins of the world I see a reflection
Darkened shades of what the earth used to be
We brought the storm ourselves
This human spawned hell
Justified with emptied words
Denial worn just like a crown

Distant noises
Chanting voices
Lifeless hopeless
The damage done

In despair of time
The secrets and the lies
Echos in the fire
Raining hazard filth

Distant noises
Chanting voices
Lifeless hopeless
The damage done

I see the ruins of the world
See the remnants of the storm
See mutation I abstain
Hear creation cry in pain

Commit the sin
Nature's war
Lifeless, hopeless
The damage done

Rip the roots
Of the holy ground
Lifeless, hopeless
The damage done

6. Totem

The sickness of the heart
Exposed to the flame
Bound and tortured
Pulled into nothing
Living predation
Descend into blackness
Sadistic the silence
Coiled in the wings of sacrifice...
Sacrifice

To martyr yourself
In a world of isolation
Your days are consumed
A life of slow decay
Wasting away
Persecuted, paralyzed
Behind these haunted eyes
No one speaks, no one tries

Totem
Idol of barbarity
Totem
Totem

Where were you
When I was bludgened helpless
Where were you
When I was tortured senseless

Totem
Idol of barbarity
Totem
Totem

Grotesque eternal eyes
Sunk in the edge of infinity
Land of sorrow
Shadows of the earth
I once prayed to the gods
Tragic fury
Grant us strength
To inhale eternity
Idol of barbarity
Plead for the end

7. Ancestors

Faces shine with a thousand eyes
Indoctrination, repulsive lies
Refuse to serve, reject it all
Run away from selfish minds
You can't face your own conviction
Pride sacrificed

We only save ourselves
While others live in hell
You can't see what greed is
You mock the ancient ones

You speak to me through the grave
The dagger in the devil's hand
Force your culture down my throat
Like a preacher selling souls
Disillusion, compromise
Fuck your lies

We only save ourselves
While others live in hell
You can't see what greed is
You mock the ancient ones

You crucified your father's son
Forced the crucifix
Ancient flame - speak my name
Call our spirits threats
Ancestors

You crucified your father's son
Forced the crucifix
Ancient flame - speak my name
Call our spirits threats
Ancestors
(Ancestors)
Ancestors
(Ancestors)

8. Ecstasy Of Gold

Scream for cruel death

Mystic self trascends excess
Watch the gods take their revenge
Pounding hearts full of grief
Greed of lust has no relief

Pounding hate from my hands, my hands
Solar eyes have deceived you
Thirst for wealth bringing pain, pain
Ecstasy of gold remains, remains

Hive mind from the afterlife
Unified through sun divine
Burning symbol not forgotten
Lucid birth is my decline

Pounding hate from my hands, my hands
Solar eyes have deceived you
Thirst for wealth bringing pain, pain
Ecstasy of gold remains
Ecstasy of gold remains

Insanity drains my sick state of mind

9. Soulfly XII

[Instrumental]

10. Spirit Animal

Life is dark as dusk
Waiting for the dam to burst
Look to you in others
Guide me through the veil deception

We are one of many
Born to face life's tragedy
Never alone or forgotten
We know you are always watching

You can't escape
When you're running from yourself
I can see you from my visions
Skepticism
Creature guide me

Clairvoyant messenger
Massive dark hysteria
True death, symbolic words
Cut through illusion

Together we are stronger
Won't be tortured any longer
We can learn to deal with pain
Knowing we'll see them again

You can't escape
You can't escape
I can't escape when I'm running from myself
You can see me in your visions
Spirit animal

When you speak - I speak
When you dream - I dream

When you speak - I speak
When you dream - I dream

In the true reality well beyond we'll see
I'm walking life through departed souls
I wake under the oak, I wake under the oak
What the winds of change they will bring me
Altered winds of change
Help me see what's hidden
In life I'm lost, in life I'm lost
In death you are found
I wake under the oak
In life I'm lost, in life I'm lost
In death you are found
I wake under the oak
In life I'm lost, in life I'm lost
