Requiem

The Autumn Offering Requiem Lyrics
1.Narcosis

Submit to the numbness of narcotic sleep
It dulls my eyes and dilates under the expanse of grey skies
The dark comes to surface
In my dreams the world burns
Falling like prisms
Turned numb to the pain

Like my father spit on me
Tell me how worthless I am

As daylight filters leaves
She wept so many tears for me
Of desperation

Forgive me father
Forsaken have been left to die

The walking dead surround me
The hubris of our shame
Sleepwalkers and the lemmings of modern day

...and I'm sorry I always pushed you away
Please let me go

Cradled in its grip with a gun up to my head
Stomach aches
Skin is white
I'm always back for more


You wanted to live
Time lapsed while I couldn't breathe (couldn't breathe)
Inspiration has died (you cannot open my eyes)
...and nothing makes me feel alive
(for years of the torment left covered in shame)
Time lapsed while I couldn't breathe
(cut from your pride, born from your pain)
As we slowly fade away
In the end your all buried to me

If callous hearts collide
Could I re-open the wounds left scarred?
To let those emotions bleed
Of the ghost that's left of me


2.Obsidian Halo

Lyricist:Tomas Eughene Church, Matt Johnson, Matthew C Mcchesney

I thank you for the scars
They are the lines that grace my wrists today
Have you come to collect the heart
Of the ghost you left of me?

The purest cloth drapes sinners
Fetid shove of lifeless need
In my heart she lies embedded
But I know she'll never set me free

Fire burns my blood when I touch you

Your heart bestowed upon me
Now I prayed for a fallen angel
With worn out wings and a vampire's smile
I was sent a broken angel
I'm still alone on this crooked mile

She's beauty and death
Take my last breath
I'd gladly give it away
She's wet on my lips

The scars on my wrists
Inflicted by her misery
So I'll speak in fragments
My daily crucifixion
You can't hold me anymore

Fire burns my blood when I touch you

Your heart bestowed on me
And you tell me that it's art
And your tears are made of lies, lies
Hanging from your halo

Fire burns my blood when I touch you

Your heart bestowed on me
You tell me that it's art
And your tears are made of lies

Your heart bestowed on me
Your heart bestowed on me
You tell me that it's art
And your tears are made of lies

Hanging from your obsidian halo
The problem with the dead
They always come back again
Coking on your obsidian halo
Save your screams for savior scenes


3.Curtain Hits The Cast

The walls come crashing inward
We bleed from an open wound
We feed upon the broken
Saturated with fears
As were stricken by years
Stare idle to lifeless oceans

I won't be defined by failures
Of the hypnotized
Fade into desperation
Cast out and ostracized
The rapture so relentless

From the mouths of serpents falling
I watched tomorrow die
All hope is buried in the past

Bleed for the absolution
Desire tears at the will
I can't be forced to empathize with the masses
The son of apathy

I won't be defined by failures
Of the hypnotized
Fade into desperation
Cast out and ostracized
The rapture so relentless


So look down the end of a barrel
Pray for an escape
Before the curtain hits the cast

Grieve for the death of creation
While you bleed for the depth or your illusion


4.Requiem

I'm searching for the answers
None are written in the sky
Through all the hurt and pain of my life
All I ever felt like

I was dying for a reason
Yet the darkness left me blind
Rotting with the passing seasons
These times they uncertain us

Tyrant of the individual
Beckoned by the lepers smile
We torn our eyes to an eternal sky

My wounds were covered up by pride
yet time always wins
I fear the emptiness
The misery haunts me
I remember holding on to anything you gave
Once again, made a liar
Twisting the knife in my heart
Your choking my breath
Defend unto me

(solo)

Old man
Weak and frail
Dying under newborn skies
They'll sing your requiem
Legacy of wasted time

I remember hate in your eyes
Your choking my breath
Wounds cover my pride
Filling my emptiness
Misery haunts me
You fail me
Final Requiem

My wounds were covered up by pride
yet time always wins
I fear the emptiness
The misery haunts me
I remember holding on to anything you gave
Once again, made a liar
Twisting the knife in my heart
Your choking my breath
Defend unto me


5.Bleed Together

Lyricist:Tomas Eughene Church, Matthew C Mcchesney, Jason M Suecof

For all the promises I broke to you
And I can't collect the pieces
And I don't want you to see me again
I could dream you never left before

You're next to me but far away
In the crossing of these paths of sorrow
And I'm a little less than broken

This time will be forever, I'm falling down
This time we'll be together, my love for you cannot die
Our wounds will bleed together, I'm falling down
This time we'll be together, my love for you cannot die

So won't you write me letters on your tattered dreams?
And I'd catch every tear that you ever shed for me
I'm dying trapped inside a moment

This time will be forever, falling down
This time we'll be together, my love for you cannot die
Our wounds will bleed together, falling down
This time we'll be together, my love for you cannot die
Cannot die, cannot die, cannot die

Bleed together, bleed together, falling
Bleed together

Be forever, falling down
This time we'll be together, my love for you cannot die
Our wounds will bleed together, falling down
This time we'll be together, my love for you cannot die
