Trivium

He who walks the fire breathes

He who walks the fire breathes
Unlike the rest
Living by the bloody creed
Kirisute gomen

Air of battle tasting stale
Reeks of deceit
Send the bitter straight to hell
Kirisute gomen

[Chorus]
In their wretched guts all they want is to feed
Unending, covetous hunger known as greed
As the last legion makes it's way to the skies
I can see in their eyes
They've already died
Inside but as for the outside
I'll take their fucking heads

Quake has bred with the storm
Conceiving war
Wicked stampeding hordes
Kirisute gomen

[Chorus]
In their wretched guts all they want is to feed
Unending, covetous hunger known as greed
As the last legion makes it's way to the skies

[Repeat *2]
I can see in their eyes
They've already died
Inside but as for the outside
I'll take their fucking heads

I will never be what they
Want me to
I live by my own path in life
No turning
Back now, I won't be held down
Forced into a shallow grave built upon their empty ways
There's no turning back

There's hell to pay, such disarray
A bloodied mess, flesh masquerade
With all the blood making a flood
You made your path by crossing us

[Solo]

He who spits the fire seethes
All he detests
Decapitating, bloody creed
Kirisute gomen

[Chorus]
In their wretched guts all they want is to feed
Unending, covetous hunger known as greed
As the last legion makes it's way to the skies

[Repeat *2]
I can see in their eyes
They've already died
Inside but as for the outside
I'll take their fucking heads

I will never be what they
Want me to
I live by my own path in life
No turning
Back now, I won't be held down
Forced into a shallow grave built upon their empty ways
No turning

I will never be what they
Want me to
I live by my own path in life
There's no turning back

Within struggle, amidst horror
Inside conflict, visceral war
Make a stand here, vanquish all fear
Don't hesitate, eradicate

Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feel the fear ripening, go taste it
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it

Walls of carnage surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans, wait for the light
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life

Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb

Apprehension runs down your chin
Masticate it, suck those tears in
Life's a battle, perpetual crusade
One against all, time to wield the blade

Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feel the fear ripening, go taste it
Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it

In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life

Divided by destiny


Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb

A fight that tests the substance
Of all that you call your life
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb

2x
Face down that which makes you bleed
Turn it 'round and force your seed
Down

Torn between Scylla and Charybdis
Feast fruits of valor, if you face it

Walls of carnage surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans, wait for the light
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life

Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb

A fight that tests the substance
Of all that you call your life
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb

A chasm grows
In the cavity of serpentine teeth (serpentine teeth)
Hunger pangs strike
For the sweet feast of innocent blood
Of innocent bloodshed
Now here we go

[Repeat *2]
The vampires feed off the wars of mankind

Growing fat on the throne of an empire
Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire

I've opened up my eyes
Seen the world for what it's worth
Tears rain down from the sky
They'll blow it all to bits
To prove whose god wields all the power
Fire rains down from the sky

The gaping wounds
Hemorrhaging the blood from which they feast (blood from which they feast)
Eat us alive
Consume to feed a hunger with no
A hunger with no end
Let's fucking go

[Repeat *2]
The vampires feed off the wars of mankind

Growing fat on the throne of an empire
Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire

I've opened up my eyes
Seen the world for what it's worth
Tears rain down from the sky
They'll blow it all to bits
To prove whose god wields all the power
Fire rains down from the sky

This battle's not the same which they have led us
to believe
A synthesis of propaganda, terror and deceit
We are the cattle; they the slaughter; our meat:
gasoline

They pump us through the machine's valves
to cleanse the world's "disease"
We are the ammunition that will cause all life
to cease

Annihilate
All those who stand in their way
Obliterate
They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky

Can't you see, it's not only me
That feels we're link to the seas
Make your way to a massive grave
If you can't fight for each day

Torrential rain at the helm of death
It drowns the weak, battering the rest
Black walls of waves pummel to capsize
The roaring thunder overshadows our cries

Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods
Melting skin even in the deluge
The mast is broken (The mast is broken)
Hull is splitting (Hull is splitting)
Dear god the fucking ship is sinking

I will try to pour all of myself into this life
Before I ...

Such turmoil, let's make the blood boil
Make your time count as the soil
Life is hard,
The time is now and here's your drum roll

Torrential rain at the helm of death
Weak, battering the rest
Black walls of waves pummel to capsize
The roaring thunder overshadows our cries

Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods
Melting skin even in the deluge
The mast is broken (The mast is broken)
Hull is splitting (Hull is splitting)
The ship is sinking

I will try to pour all of myself into this life
Before I ...
If I go before my time
Then take these words evermore into your life

We crawl out from the wreckage
Fingers dig into the sands (of the shores)
Everything we worked for
Is ripped apart and ruined,
Deep beneath our dying world
The earth begins to open up

Into the mouth of hell we march
Into the mouth of hell
Into the mouth of hell
We march
Into the mouth of hell we march
Into the mouth of hell
Into the mouth of hell
We march

[Guitar SOLO]

Now you see, for it is we
Who walk the fire and breathe
Make our way out of ...
And lick from ...

Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods
Melting, even in the deluge
The mast is broken (The mast is broken)
Hull is splitting (Hull is splitting)
The ship is sinking

[Repeat *2]
I will try to pour all of myself into this life
Before I ...
If I go before my time
Then take these words evermore into your life

Blind-folded and gagged stood waiting
With the whole world my firing squad
At the edge of the world I'm faced out
Staring the sun right in the eye

Vultures circle above, hyenas mocking the kill
Excrement drooling down their chins
Atop the cliffs I look down into the starving hell-mouth
The rabid foam crashes hard on it's teeth

[Chorus]
Their mouths salivate
Fantasizing my gruesome ending
This world looks down upon
A man who can stand on his own two feet

As their feeding their guns "ready aim"
They say I'll live if i die for their cause
Living under the rule of fellow cro-magnon fool
They fear to look out to stay still

[Chorus]
Their mouths salivate
Fantasizing my gruesome ending
This world looks down upon
A man who can stand on his own two feet

Without eating from their claws

[Repeat *2]
Life feels like hell should
This hell's so cold
Pull another knife out
Stick it with the rest of them
When my back is full
Turn me around to face it

Such melancholy burning the stars from skies
As we melt drowning inside their bloodied eyes
Hope is ravaged running from lacerations
Sob so heavily we choke then we die....

Die...Die...Die...Die...

[Corey Beaulieu SOLO]
[Matt Heafy SOLO]

Die...Die...Die...Die

[Repeat *4]
Life feels like hell should
This hell's so cold
Pull another knife out
Stick it with the rest of them
When my back is full
Turn me around to face it

Sob so heavily we choke then we die...

Bow not before his creation
These mortals: "man"
This act of insult
Breeds our discontent
He turned his back
On our loyalty
I will bring my insurrection
And a war upon heaven

I will bring my insurrection
And a war upon heaven
Hell-fire be my destruction
For this war upon heaven

Forged from fire
I declare this war
A war against Heaven
I bring upon my scourge
Filled with hubris
A declaration of war

It is I who spawns this fury
Torches: ignite
Blaze is set to engulf all of which we hate
Storm in, eviscerate
Every motherfucker in our way
I will bring my insurrection
And a war upon heaven

I will bring my insurrection
And a war upon heaven
Hell-fire be my destruction
For this war upon heaven

Forged from fire
I declare this war
A war against Heaven
I bring upon my scourge
Filled with hubris
A declaration of war

2x
Ascend to the heavens
To destroy them all

2x
Forged from fire
I declare this war
A war against Heaven
I bring upon my scourge
Filled with hubris
A declaration of war

> You cannot be, you're the mistake: calamity
Sent to destroy all of the good
On this Earth, killing me
You're killing me
The mother of ruination comes to fuck all
Mutilating everything, spread wide open, beckoning
Beckoning me
Spiral faster down
Ripping a hole through the air we breathe
An apocalypse
Encased in a shell, so beautiful
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
I know we are feeling the same thing
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
To eat away at our existence
Spewed from the wound of this life's worst cavity; the
Nightmare spreads it's cancerous lamentations, poisoning
Force-feed the plague
Drunk from the milk of death's overflowing sick tit
Nourishing the misery, gives birth to the ugliness
That grows inside
Spiral faster down
Ripping a hole through the air we breathe
An apocalypse
Encased in a shell, so beautiful
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
I know we are feeling the same thing
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
To eat away at our existence
Isolate
The heart from the brain
Permeate
Inject us with pain
Holding our breath now
We're screaming without sound
We're trembling as everything falls completely apart
Meteor crash down
Come crater our woe out
The banishment of everything once alive will start now
Holding our breath now
We're screaming without sound
The banishment of everything once alive will start now
You came to be, you're the mistake: calamity
Here to destroy all of the good on this Earth, killing all
Killing us all
Spiral faster down
Ripping a hole through the air we breathe
An apocalypse
Encased in a shell, so beautiful
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
I know we are feeling the same thing
The calamity makes it's way to the inside
To eat away at our existence

The afterbirth has barely dried
When the king of ruling time
Comes with a sickle in his hand
To devour
Devour
Descendant of chaos
Devour
Castrated the father
Devour
Fearing his overthrow
Devour
Swallowed his children whole
Take your teeth out of me
I have just begun to breathe on my own
I don't know what this is
These eyes can hardly see what is eating me
The prisoners rotting in their cells
Children of this godless hell
Digesting in acidic blood
The devoured
Devour
Descendant of chaos
Devour
Castrated the father
Devour
Fearing his overthrow
Devour
Swallowed his children whole
Take your teeth out of me
I have just begun to breathe on my own
I don't know what this is
These eyes can hardly see what is eating me
He who spawned the furies
Severed the genitals of his father
Creating such beauty: the goddess of love
But the blood that fell to the ground
Made the erinyes
solo: MKH
He who spawned the furies
solo: CKB
Wreathed with serpents
Eyes dripping blood
Winged tormentors of criminals
Take your teeth out of me
I have just begun to breathe on my own
I don't know what this is
These eyes can hardly see what is eating me

I am the Promethean
Tragic figure in this dream
Dream known as life
I bring spark into the lives
Take the molded, show them fire
Fire's the spark in their eyes

My flesh is ripped at daily
It's the cross I bear

I feel it tear out my insides
A pain so heavy I could collapse
I feel it just may kill me
I must brave through this storm

I am made exemplary
Lashed up by the public scene
For bearing my heart, my soul's on fire
I pull my ribs open now
Bleed my heart upon the grounds
Drink of the blood, take me in

My flesh is ripped at daily
It's the cross I bear

I feel it tear out my insides


A pain so heavy I could collapse
I feel it just may kill me
I must brave through this storm

Chain me down, nail me up
It feels so cold on my skin
Flesh cut deep from their claws
Chew my organs out
Salivating with hate
Crown of thorns, deathly boards; won't
Make me cease to be
You've turned this scapegoat into
The lion that will devour you whole

2x
My flesh is ripped at daily
It's the cross I bear

2x
I feel it tear out my insides
A pain so heavy I could collapse
I feel it just may kill me
I must brave through this storm

Like Callisto To A Star In Heaven
Taken forcefully
A thing which never can be
Erased by time
Since he made you bleed, so violently

Painful is the kick
Inside it makes you so sick
The blood that drips down your thigh
Tarnishes virtue; lies

Wearing a mask familiar
A god forced himself on you
Raping and impregnating
Causing the exile of your life

Changed like Callisto to a star in heaven

Hate not the flesh that makes me
But seek what lies beneath
My flesh and blood will make the stars
That shake bones underneath

Now a forsaken
Ghost in the eyes of her world
Banished for all time
Since he made you bleed, so violently

Painful is the kick
Inside it makes you so sick
The blood that drips down your thigh
Tarnishes virtue; lies

Wearing a mask familiar
A god forced himself on you
Raping and impregnating

Causing the exile of your life

Changed like Callisto to a star in heaven

Hate not the flesh that makes me
But seek what lies beneath
My flesh and blood will make the stars
That shake bones underneath

Cast out from the righteous life you loved
Vengeance comes down from the skies above
To wreak havoc and torment the one
Who just gave birth to her true love's son
solo: MKH
solo: CKB
Cursed to roam the Earth alone, a beast
Witnesses as her son now fully grown
Readied arm to cast a spear, to kill
Can't recognize, all he sees is fear

Wearing a mask familiar
A god forced himself on you
Raping and impregnating
Causing the exile of your life

Hate not the flesh that makes me
But seek what lies beneath
My flesh and blood will make the stars
That shake bones underneath

Won't walk the earth a specter
Won't hold my tongue from lashing out
This is my writ of honor
Drawn by the blood that i have shed
The beasts will soon assemble
Conjoining in their putrid flesh
Their hearts don't beat desire
They pump violence and poison

Flesh opens up, blood's retreating
Flesh opens up, blood's retreating
Death's embracing, all is ending
Death's embracing, all is ending

Time will not heal all of your pain
I cannot wait for it all to come crashing
Down

The monsters walk among us
Leeching the blood out from what's good
Infecting at transmission
Swallowing innocence from life
Our time has come to stand forth
The wretched womb from which they feed
Behold the loathsome demons
Send them into the hell they made

Flesh opens up, blood's retreating
Flesh opens up, blood's retreating
Death's embracing, all is ending
Death's embracing, all is ending

Time will not heal all of your pain
I cannot wait for it all to come crashing
Down on your face, ripping your veins out
Your insides win and kill you from within

And the seas will rise as serpents
Spawned from the mouth of earth's surface
Soon the skies will fall fast, burning
Open wide and eat the suffering

The pulse is now quickening
Softly, it's painstaking
Look within to calm the storm
Raging inside the form



There's no turning back

For i'm witness to the changing

Take all you have brought to sacrifice
For you will lose much more
If you succeed in this battle
You still will lose so much more

The pulse is now quickening
Softly, it's painstaking
Look within to calm the storm
Raging inside the form

There's no turning back

For i'm witness to the changing

Take all you have brought to sacrifice
For you will lose much more
If you succeed in this battle
You still will lose so much more

4x
Time has come to face all evil

Now the seas rise up as serpents
Spawned from the mouth of earth's surface
As the skies now fall fast burning
Open wide and face the suffering

The inferno spews out hell's horde
Casting the flames upon our world
As death eclipses all the light
We make our last stand, 'til death: fight

Time will not heal all of your pain
I cannot wait for it all to come crashing

Time will not heal all of your pain
I cannot wait for it all to come crashing
Down on your face, ripping your veins out
Your insides win and kill you from within

I'm wearing thin wearing out becoming weak
Holding hands with this
rope she's my self-destructive
Bleeding disease the things
that makes it hard to breathe
But if I shoved you far away
This addict just starved again asphyxiated

And now I see it's you
that's tearing me ensnaring me
This is me dying in your arms
I cut you out now set me free

Lynched high above what used to be
In her gallows built for me
So I escaped cut this noose around my
Neck I break free to see the things
you blinded me
And I shoved you far away
Now I live the life I dreamed of
You're dead to me

And now I see it's you
that's tearing me ensnaring me
This is me dying in your arms
I cut you out now set me free

And now I see it's you
that's tearing me ensnaring me
This is me dying in your arms
I cut you out now set me free

You poisoned my life
So I take this knife
And I cut you out
Cut you out

And now I see it's you
that's tearing me ensnaring me
This is me dying in your arms
I cut you out now set me free

And now I see it's you
that's tearing me ensnaring me
This is me dying in your arms
I cut you out now set me free

set me free

set me free

set me free

set me free

set me free

set me free

set me free
