Brand Of Sacrifice - Lifeblood (2021)

You're calling out
Paralyzed from the neck down
I hear your screams but I cannot break free
Cut off my limbs, tear my eyes out
Imprison me in this realm
This is my eternal hell

I'll never be the same
Imprisoned by the brand they gave to me
I can't sleep, I can't eat
Endless torment, endless pain
These demons, they break me down
Left devoid of sanity
Hate is the answer that I've found

Relinquish fear
Or you will not move on
Retribution is near
I can feel it setting in
I can feel it setting in

Relinquish fear
Or you will not
Or you will not move on
Relinquish fear
But you must not forget where you came from

You're calling out
Paralyzed from the neck down
I hear your screams but I cannot break free
Cut off my limbs, tear my eyes out
Imprison me in this realm
This is my eternal hell

The abyss
The deepest depths
I have felt and I have witnessed the darkest shade of black
(Of black)

The acquisition is complete
(Complete)
Recovery is now an impossibility
This is not where we're meant to be
(To be)
This is not where we're meant to be
Where we're meant to be

You're calling out
Paralyzed from the neck down
I hear your screams but I cannot break free
Cut off my limbs, tear my eyes out
Imprison me in this realm
This is my eternal hell

This is my eternal hell
I can no longer recognize myself
This is my eternal hell
This is not where I'm meant to be

I'd rather fight for my life
I'd rather fight for my life than be living it
(Than be living it)
I'd rather fight for my life than be living it
A red river of death
A chosen destiny
A lover's altered eyes to fulfill the prophecy

Innocence buried within this child
She’s locked away all the terror
Locked away all the horror
Now is the time to relinquish fear
Locked away all the terror
Locked away the horror
Now is the time to relinquish fear Открыть страницу с текстом

Wrath and bloodlust
Born from the trauma and experience
An amalgamation of hate and malice
The beast within longs for carnage
To set its teeth in flesh endlessly
An amalgamation of hate and malice
May it run rampant with a hatred and a wild joy

Don't let go of what's left of your humanity
Blood must flow
I will not allow myself to be an animal
All I know is I must subdue the beast
Hatred grows and so does the temptation to release

Why am I subject to torment?
Was it not enough for me to bleed?
(To bleed?)
I've been branded and been handed a fate that wasn't chosen by me
(By me)
I will stand and I will not concede
I will not falter and I won't retreat
I will not fall to a world that's up against me

Desperate men do desperate things
Disrupted vision creates a reflection of only darkness
I hear them calling
The ones who long for death
They gave into desire and now they have nothing left
(They have nothing left)
Now is this the fate that has chosen for me?

So don't let go of what's left of your humanity
Blood must flow
I will not allow myself to be an animal
All I know is I must subdue the beast
Hatred grows and so does the temptation to release

Why am I subject to torment?
Was it not enough for me to bleed?
(To bleed?)
I've been branded and been handed a fate that wasn't chosen by me
(By me)
I will stand and I will not concede
I will not falter and I won't retreat
I will not fall to a world that's up against me

When I'm done they will fear me forever
This is the cleansing, this is the purge
I will stand, I will not concede
I will not falter and I will not retreat

This is my struggle
This is the fate of the branded one
(The branded one)
I will stand and I will not concede
I will not falter and I will not retreat
I won't fall to a world that's up against me
This is the fate of the branded one Открыть страницу с текстом

Hatred is where you turn when you can't face your grief

There's anger there's grief and then comes hatred
Born from the torment of my experience
Unparalleled brutality

Make way for the restoration

Lifeless one impaled the Dragon Slayer
Suffering at the blast of hell
I will struggle on
This is a manifestation of everything I don't want to be
I don't want to be
This is a manifestation of everything I don't want to be

There is
Anger and hate
There is
A choice I have to make
There is
Anger and hate
Why the fuck does it have to be this way?
Why does it have to be this way? Открыть страницу с текстом

I control the largest territory in the world that I have conquered
Even if it's blood-smeared and defiled
(This world)
This world belongs to me

This world belongs to me
For I've taken everything
This world belongs to me
I am the demon king

Life in this world it's all darkness
I will reign over this unclean world

I will ascend
Survival is based on my devotion
I will depend on none other than myself
I will instill fear in the masses
So begins the reign of the demon king

The great emperor with viperine composure
Cultivated through the slaying of my enemies
Even when they dare follow the hawk of light
They will have no choice but to submit
(I have)
I have brought this to fruition
With my own two hands, I'll make this world a prison

I will ascend
Survival is based on my devotion
I will depend on none other than myself
I will instill fear in the masses
So begins the reign of the demon king

What are the chances I break?
(That I break)
Come to my senses or annihilate?
I've gained the power of the God Hand
So what am I so afraid of?
What is this raw energy?
I won't survive this
My mind is deceived

Decimate every deity
I have transcended
I have depended on myself alone
(Breathe)
I am losing my mind
I've lost everything

I will ascend
Survival is based on my devotion
I will depend on none other than myself
I will instill fear in the masses
Or has my reign come to an end?

I will ascend
Survival is based on my devotion
I will depend on none other than myself

I am the foe
I am the foe of the inhuman
I'll never rest until the hawk is overthrown
I am the foe
I am the foe of the inhuman
Alone I stand in life as death

I've seen societies reduced to dust
Disgusting beings destroy and enslave
For I have seen it time and time again
For thousands of years
(For thousands of years)
Guided by the law of causality
To take a step into this world
Between the living and the dead
You must be brave or really mad

You will not survive the interstice

This is a nightmare incarnate
Plagued by vermin and horrific monstrosities
This is the home of the demonic
There will be no human survivors
Unless we intervene

Waging war
Against the vile ones who wanted more than mere humanity
For I am not enslaved
I will not bow down
For I am not enslaved
I will not bow down

You cannot surpass humanity without abandoning all that you used to be
I will not become a prisoner
I'll be the cause of their dissent
There is no afterlife for those who prey on humankind
Mortal and fragile but even if their tortured they'll survive
Waging war against those who wanted more
The fetid creatures are really cowards that lost control
Now they must suffer


Waging war
Against the vile ones who wanted more than mere humanity
For I am not enslaved
I will not bow down
For I am not enslaved
I will not bow down
Fading light
(Not losing sanity)
Losing sight
(Of the apostles)
But I am not enslaved
I will not bow down
But I am not enslaved
I will not bow down
I will not bow down

This is my destiny
I will make them beg for mercy
(Beg for mercy)
They’re begging for mercy

I will not abandon my call
(I will not)
There’s no one left
But those who will always uphold their code
They were have never been enslaved


I am the foe
I am the foe of the inhuman
I'll never rest until the hawk is overthrown
I am the foe
I am the foe of the inhuman
I will stand until the end

Waging war
Against the vile ones who wanted more than mere humanity
For I am not enslaved
I will not bow down
For I am not enslaved
I will not bow down
Fading light
(Not losing sanity)
Losing sight

But I am not enslaved
I will not bow down

Left to drown here
Left to drown

This our eternal sentence
Our descent and our fall
This is our destruction and our hell
Left to drown
Driven out from bliss
Condemned to boundless misery
Can we not be healed?

Desperate for revenge in its purest form
No longer lingering in the shadows
This is an open war

Rise up
Now time to rise from the ashes
Rise up
This is the signal to ascend
There must be blood to move us forward
Rise up
This is your signal
Rise up

Almighty I will stand
(I will stand)
Swing my blade and demoralize the god hand
Feel my wrath abhorrent ones
They will fall I will be left as one
Now anger and vengeance
Has caused a perpetual fire within
Unholy ones
This will be your extinction

Desperate for revenge in its purest form
No longer lingering in the shadows
I must arise or spill my lifeblood
(Lifeblood)
I must arise
For I am determined

Rise up
Now time to rise from the ashes
Rise up
This is the signal to ascend
There must be blood to move us forward
Rise up
This is your signal
Rise up

There is no time for despair
I've tried reason
I've tried to believe
That my victory ensures you're no longer suffering
(I will see this through)

You are my lifeblood
You are my lifeblood

Now time to rise from ashes

This is the signal to ascend

Like a stream, the blood begins flowing from me
I have started to abandon rationality
I have let the animal free
Its murderous intent is suffocating

I am the master you're the puppet
My only purpose is to consume and destroy

I'm stepping outside the confines of my perception
I'm about to cross the line

I will not let it have domain over me
Functioning without restraint has become costly
I have everything to lose but it has so much to gain
It's temptation I must refuse
For I must preserve my being

Desecrate, leave them weeping
Now I must humiliate them and enjoy their suffering
Enjoy their suffering
We have the right to exist

Haunted by these sickening words it constantly repeats
Advising me of its every intention
I can silence it but that will not mean that it won't show its face
When I am weak again

This is my darkest hour plagued with murderous intent
I can't control its hunger
I must bury it within
Born from my suffering, the canine takes my place
Fueled by my hate and rage
I'll never be the same

I will not survive another close encounter
Cause this vessel is what it's after
Sacrificing morality
Inner darkness manifests itself externally
Insidious one so malevolent
Nothing but blood will satisfy its endless hunger

Lay to waste the human race and devour any semblance of hope that remains
Insignificant, weak, and disposable
Get out of my mind

This is my darkest hour plagued with murderous intent
I can't control its hunger
I must bury it within
Born from my suffering, the canine takes my place
Fueled by my hate and rage
I'll never be the same

This is my darkest hour plagued with murderous intent
I can't control its hunger
I must bury it within
Born from my suffering, the canine takes my place
Fueled by my hate and rage
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same

Lay to waste the human race
Insignificant, disposable
Filthy, disgusting
Worship me or I'll make you bleed
You never felt this type of torture
You never felt this type of torture
Lay to waste the human race

I am eternal
Your mind and body are my vessels
Don't resist it's futile
For soon they'll be nothing left of you

My dream is smeared in blood
I don't feel guilty
I don't regret or mourn the lost
Dreams breathe life into men or it can cage them in suffering

Suffer
Suffering

Some see nothing more than life and death
For they are dead
They have nothing of substance

So they lost themselves following another man's dream
A necessary action to unite the new world under one banner
This is the world I built
This is my dynasty

My dream is smeared in blood
I don't feel guilty
I don't regret or mourn the lost
Dreams breathe life into men or it can cage them in suffering

(Fate is beyond human understanding)

We will never be equals
(Equals)
Predestined by the hand of god
To assert my dominance in a world that's lost
Reached my final form for all to see
So lower your head and bow before me

Tainted red these sacrifices lay to rest
Now my wings spread
To blanket the earth in darkness
I’ve gained my true power
I’ll see my dream through
I’ll take hold of everything

My dream is smeared in blood
I don't feel guilty
I don't regret or mourn the lost
Dreams breathe life into men or it can cage them in suffering
I am the exalted one
I was broken and ravaged but I chose to overcome
My dream gave life to me
This is my kingdom
This is my dynasty

All rise up
I am the chosen one
Chosen one
My reign is absolute
I will bow down to no one
No one Открыть страницу с текстом

Do not look into your dreams
Red skies form a memory of your screeching agony
Do not look into your fragile mind
It will not deliver you in this collapsing time
(In this collapsing time)
Mental pictures of the one you put your trust in
Left with only death and destruction
(Destruction)

They're primitive beings
Repugnant fiends
Their eyes can tear down worlds
A perverse view of beauty
So many prayers never unanswered
Cause' death is everywhere
Take a look inside but don’t be ignorant about what you find

Suffocate
You can't catch your breath
Panicking, grasping at your chest
Afraid of everything that is near
In this new world, there's nothing for you here
There's nothing for you here
There's nothing for you here

Ruin
Ruination
Ruin
Ruination

The greatest misfortune of all
Was losing your soul to the white hawk
But you will overcome
I refuse to admit that you are gone
I will venture far and wide
To restore the woman inside
And whatever this world brings me
My blade will cut through everything

And I will not hesitate
Exterminate, eradicate
Exterminate, eradicate
You will feel the cold steel puncture your skin
This is the last night that you'll be living
Eradicate the filth
There is no mercy

This beautiful world is a facade
Ruin, ruination
There is nothing left for us
Ruin, ruination
Covered in the blood of innocence
We are not the only ones who've suffered
Ruin, ruination
We are not the only ones Открыть страницу с текстом

Vicious revenge
Feel its strain
Ingrained forever within my brain
Never revered
Never pure
Only one thing to strive for
A plague with no antidote
Deep-seated in animosity
All too blinded with hatred to see
What I've got right in front of me

Will vengeance set me free?
Cause they've taken everything

Weary heart, hollow, longing to reconcile
But my hatred enslaves and its walls are growing higher

No honour here to gain
(They've taken everything, they've taken everything)
My heart remains enslaved
(By the hatred that plagues my brain)

All the things I didn't do
I was frail, I was weak
No strength to defend you
Aggravated agony and the lust for indemnity
Humiliation inside but I can't hide
Because I must dispose of the one who violated you
Tear him down from the throne

Now I claim the right
You'll receive your judgement
I sentence you, I sentence you to death
You will feel my deepest rage
The wrath of my blade

No honour here to gain
(They've taken everything, they've taken everything)
My heart remains enslaved
(By the hatred that plagues my brain)
Weary heart, hollow, longing to reconcile
(My hatred enslaves and its walls are growing higher)
My heart remains enslaved

Imprisoned by hate its walls are growing higher
Imprisoned by hate its walls are growing higher
Imprisoned by hate its walls are growing higher

All I want is an end to this fucking storm
I can't see any sense in this
Am I lost in this delusion?
Imprisoned
(Imprisoned by my hate)
Imprisoned
These words they say, they fill my brain
Deliver me to a vicious state
(Vicious state)
Anger, delusion, no honour
Is there a chance that I will never recover?

No honour here to gain
(They've taken everything, they've taken everything)
My heart remains enslaved
(By the hatred that plagues my brain)
Weary heart, hollow, longing to reconcile
