1.
Hexennacht 03:00
Who can I call comrade? In these dark desperate days Beyond facades Build the bridge of truth For youth is not forever And death most certainly is Fight till my grave Each time I fall I grow thrice as strong Who will fall by the wayside I watch them drown until their end Sifting through this worlds fucking shit Trust is a tough thing to come by I’ll be there for you Will you be there for me?
2.
“Gather your strength For the long road ahead Take only what you must We can make it together" They said In the eyes are dripping in want and pain As the apocalypse encloses its grip around And all our actions and love are all that remain Even death will bring us peace from all the pain Until then I will fight to the bone Again and again And as the dusk dies out Like the sun's last breath We embraced , fought together , and we Embraced each other in death And died together Not in vain Forsaken For choosing the right We reject We reject the light
3.
Lost in a world of black and gray A stranger lost in a concrete wasteland Closed are the old shops downtown No youth lasts as it’s stripped from our grasp Death from above Or death all around Movement by movement I still carry on I thought I saw the morning When I heard the sirens I awoke to a nightmare Time so precious, thoughts fall astray Seized in fear Grasped at the little that I loved We’ll take our mourning to action Use the masters tools to take down the masters house
4.
Wrestled with God at the edge of a knife Fought so long I forgot wrong and right Devil beside me held my hand and the light Out of mind , they push you out of sight All arise A hand on the trigger & a hand on my mouth My name is the Devil & I my name is doubt “Civilize the mind, make my body a slave Do what thou wilst & live the life that you make” All arise Wrestled with God at the edge of a knife Fought so long I forgot wrong and right “Civilize the mind, make my body a slave Do what thou wilst & live the life that you make” All arise
