The Duskfall - Sealed With A Fist

Corroding is our iron will
This nation's tears weakens us
Bloodied are these once strong hands
The heartless acts and dreams getting crushed

Daylight won't show our true face
Get rid of a war, start a few more
Sacrifice is such a small word
For what it truly withholds

Bring them out against their will
Infect them all and stay until their bodies twitch and start to bleed
A ruthless act for none to see
Bring them out against their will
Fool them to the top of the hill
Infect them all and stay until there's only one more grave to fill

In a roaring blaze we go down
A mark in history we like to believe
To be tattooed in the chest of our reincarnations
Never forgotten in this whirlwind called life

Castaway and to be collected when we're dead and gone
Slow is the process, like leaves rotting in the sun

Bring them out against their will
Infect them all and stay until their bodies twitch and start to bleed
A ruthless act for none to see
Bring them out against their will
Fool them to the top of the hill
Infect them all and stay until there's only one more grave to fill

We can't hide anymore
Can't close our eyes no more
Our fate is right there
Got to take a grip of what's right here

Bring them out against their will
Infect them all and stay until their bodies twitch and start to bleed
A ruthless act for none to see
Bring them out against their will
Fool them to the top of the hill
Infect them all and stay until there's only one more grave to fill

The snakes are gathering again, they slither around your head
Going to take you down once again, you're so easy just like me

With a crooked smile, such a twisted lie
Trust does not mean anything
With a crooked smile, such a twisted lie
When you take your last breath

Say one thing but I know
So hard to keep track on your lies
Stand so close but I know
You wandered to places beyond
I mean when I say: "You're slipping away each day"
Hard to stand in the middle when these roots start rotting away

Together and hand in hand, we go towards the end
Pull the knife out of my back, I'll return the favor, I promise

With a crooked smile, such a twisted lie
Trust does not mean anything
With a crooked smile, such a twisted lie
When you take your last breath

Say one thing but I know
So hard to keep track on your lies
Stand so close but I know
You wandered to places beyond
I mean when I say: "You're slipping away each day"
Hard to stand in the middle when these roots start rotting away

With a crooked smile, such a twisted lie
Trust does not mean anything
With a crooked smile, such a twisted lie
When you take your last breath

Say one thing but I know
So hard to keep track on your lies
Stand so close but I know
You wandered to places beyond
I mean when I say: "You're slipping away each day"
Hard to stand in the middle when these roots start rotting away

Seeing deserts in all your eyes, I saw hate inside
The rabid dogs you're acting like

We know just how it all ends
Still we won't change a thing

No more memories
We travel on
We got fooled again in all the same ways
Good times are gone

We know just how it all ends
Still we won't change a thing

I've only got knives for you
I'll show no remorse
I've only got hate towards you

I've only got knives for you
I'll show no remorse
I've only got hate towards you

Seeing through those lies, It's clearer now
I bled on your side until the end
Not worth a thing

I've only got knives for you
I'll show no remorse
I've only got hate towards you

I've only got knives for you
I'll show no remorse
I've only got hate towards you

I've only got knives for you
I'll show no remorse
I've only got hate towards you

I've only got knives for you
I'll show no remorse
I've only got hate towards you

I've only got knives for you
I'll show no remorse
I've only got hate towards you

I've only got knives for you
I'll show no remorse
I've only got hate towards you

Can't make any decisions based on your facts
Won't go down anymore to the sound of your devils laugh
I can see that all you are is just an age long fact
Just have to wonder how you keep it all intact

All is planned to the very last breath, this whole picture is blurred
All said to the very last word, god is dead haven't you heard?

It holds your wrist, it grabs your throat
It carves you up and throws you around
It winds you up and leaves you down

The horns don't make a devil, just the lies and deceit
The darkness don't make it evil, just what lies beneath
Your light is much darker now than the black I'm a part of
As the end closed in, pack your bags for a final retreat

All is planned to the very last breath, this whole picture is blurred
All said to the very last word, god is dead haven't you heard?

It holds your wrist, it grabs your throat
It carves you up and throws you around
It winds you up and leaves you down

It winds you up and leaves you down
It grabs your throat
It carves you up, it carves you up
It throws you around
It holds your wrist, it carves you up and leaves you down

It throws you around

You fall, you can not get up again
So cold, you freeze, feel like it won't ever end

It holds your wrist, it grabs your throat
It carves you up and throws you around
It winds you up and leaves you down

It winds you up and leaves you down
It grabs your throat
It carves you up, it carves you up
It throws you around
It holds your wrist, it carves you up and throws you around

I can not bear this faking anymore
So damn full of yourselves
Ignorance has dragged us down once again
My clenched fist is all I'll ever need

No I won't stand the beating anymore
This will all be useless when we fall to the floor
My soul fights to break itself free
Screaming out the hate, just to make you see

No more!
It's all washed out, truth knocks you down and the spine will crack
No more!
It's all washed out and it's all gone
Truth knocks you down and the spine will crack
Sealed with a fist

You say it's living but I won't back down
I'll choose an unknown path on my own
Held your truth free of filth and the lies
Your calls have been silenced!
Completely revealed, naked as a newborn child
The demon gnaws your innards, the embrace of life

No more!
It's all washed out, truth knocks you down and the spine will crack
No more!
It's all washed out and it's all gone
Truth knocks you down and the spine will crack
Sealed with a fist

No more!
It's all washed out, truth knocks you down and the spine will crack
No more!
It's all washed out and it's all gone
Truth knocks you down and the spine will crack

No more!
It's all washed out
No more!
It's all washed out
Sealed with a fist

I can not stay here for long, it's so bright it hurts my eyes
The damage it's done to my brain and I only lived for the taste of heaven
A glimpse of clear blue sky

No sanctity is waiting for me
No safeway out of here
So hard to stay alive
No ghouls to set me free
No angels will come down for me

A fevered touch of my bony hand
The life I've lived I try to deny
The rush of time took me by surprise
How casually a life passes by

When dreams materialize, nobody will hear me say it
A dialogue with the deaf, a one way conversation
It's all what it has come to, this is all that we do

No sanctity is waiting for me
No safeway out of here
So hard to stay alive
No ghouls to set me free
No angels will come down for me

A fevered touch of my bony hand
The life I've lived I try to deny
The rush of time took me by surprise
How casually a life passes by

A fevered touch of my bony hand
The life I've lived I try to deny
The rush of time took me by surprise
How casually a life passes by

A fevered touch of my bony hand
The life I've lived I try to deny
The rush of time took me by surprise
How casually a life passes by

Been mad for a few days now, I can't help it but it seems to grow
I'll be back some morning until the day when it's time to go

All won't be alright
These days nothing will

Put some more sin on my burden, I feel like I could handle some more
My back still aches but the urge is too strong

I'm not that different from you
The skies turn black for us
The skies will never turn light blue
Only for me and you

All won't be alright, these days nothing will
All and everything can go to hell and get covered in the sand

Drill a hole in my skull, let the demons out
Punch a hole in my heart and set the demons free
Want to join them now, feel that cold wind blow
Open up that bottle, let the liquids flow

Been mad for a few days now, I can't help it but it seems to grow
I'll be back some morning

Punch a hole in my heart and set the demons free
Want to join them now, feel that cold wind blow
Open up that bottle, let the liquids flow

Put some more sin on my burden
Put some more sin on my burden
Put some more sin on my burden
Put some more sin on my burden
Put some more sin on my burden
Put some more sin on my burden

Drill a hole in my skull, let the demons out
Punch a hole in my heart and set the demons free
Want to join them now, feel that cold wind blow
Open up that bottle, let the liquids flow

Let the demons out
Let the liquids flow
Set the demons free
Let it flow
Feel that cold wind blow

A source of inspiration
We're a lost generation
We grew from lies into this
An angry mob with raised fists

Death of thousands won't stop the harvest of mankind
Death of millions won't make us brighter in our mind

Selfishness is the option
Selfishness

We hope the sunrise to prove us wrong
Truth is revealed with the darkness gone
We fight amongst ourselves and alone
Still singing the same old songs

Death of thousands won't stop the harvest of mankind
Death of millions won't make us brighter in our mind

Selfishness is the poison
Selfishness

To keep us sane, give us pills, give us thrills
To keep us still, give us games, give us fame
I want to change the codes and our names and throw away our past right into the flames
Give us pain!

Hard to notice, difficult to understand the mind of a broken man
Those strained hands can't grasp as he crawls from the gutter to make a final stand

My mouth is full of dirt, I won't last and it's not good
Can't even see the sights and my headlights are broke

Just a worn out soul at the end of the world, at the speed of the blacklight
Just a worn out soul at the end of the world, I lost my way back home
Just a worn out soul at the end of the world, I'm falling off the edge
Just a worn out soul at the end of the world

Would I have made the same choices without you by my side?
Would I have made the same mistakes without you breathing down my neck?
They stood by my side 'til the end crushed me with all their fake love

Just a worn out soul at the end of the world, at the speed of the blacklight
Just a worn out soul at the end of the world
Just a worn out soul at the end of the world, I'm falling off the edge
Just a worn out soul at the end of the world, I lost my way back home

I'm at the edge of reason
I lift my hands off the wheel
I let the blacklight guide me
I lift my hands off the wheel

Just a worn out soul at the end of the world, at the speed of the blacklight
Just a worn out soul at the end of the world, I lost my way back home
Just a worn out soul at the end of the world, I'm falling off the edge
Just a worn out soul at the end of the world
