Parkway Drive - IRE Lyrics
Destroyer
Destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy. Destroyer
We speak in lies, we speak in tongues
We'll see our damage done
We live in dreams, we rest in peace
Content to sleep in our chains
Seven trumpets sound their discourse, nine circles of our devise
Messages writ within our columns of fire
No life blooms from the ashes of ire
But our hearts beat faster, and our heads hang low
Still we kneel for the masters
Filthy pigs all in a row
Black the sun
Hide us from what we have become
Black the sun
Hide us from the monsters we've become
Destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy
We're all addicts hooked into a toxic culture
Infinite growth in a finite world
Empires of gold return to sand
As silver tongues rust beneath the guilt of man
But our hearts beat weaker, and our heads now roll
Still we crawl for the masters
As we beg for the killing blow
Black the sun
Hide us from what we have become
Black the sun
Hide us from the monsters we've become
We scar the earth to spite the sky
Then burn the trees to feed our fires
We are the blind leading the damned
A wrecking ball
In the hands of a mad man
Destroy, destroy. Destroyer
Destroy, destroy. Destroyer
Black the sun
Hide us from what we have become
Black the sun
Hide us from the monsters we've become

Dying To Believe
Like dragging nails through my skin
Strip the scar, scratch the itch
Dig your nails deep, until the nerve is good and raw
Pulling teeth again, to pay for all your sins
The blue pill or the red, all you want are enemies
Feel the tension set to break
We've swallowed more than we can take
Like dragging nails through my skin
Die, die, dying to believe
This beast you resurrected won't break its leash
We're die, die, dying to believe
That the ghost of the ills of this world will
Find you where you sleep
We'll find you where you sleep
God complex, let's start a war
Whose prayers will you answer, whose will you ignore
Paint it black and torn apart
Baptized in hate to the beat of a hollow heart
Feel the tension set to break
We've swallowed more than we can take
Like dragging nails through my skin
Die, die, dying to believe
This beast you resurrected won't break its leash
We're die, die, dying to believe
That the ghost of the ills of this world will
Find you where you sleep
We'll find you where you sleep
Because it's a sick f*cking world in a sick f*cking time
Splitting at the seams as you desecrate the hive
The cancer's in your heart
The poison's in your mind
Forked tongue motherf*cker tell me how the hell do you sleep at night
How do you sleep at night
Dying to believe
Die, die, dying to believe
This beast you resurrected won't break its leash
We're die, die, dying to believe
That the ghost of the ills of this world will
Find you where you sleep

Vice Grip
A system of complete control. The pressure builds
It wraps its hands around your throat. A constant battle
A silent war of mind and soul
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up
One life, one shot, give it all you got
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up
Keep the flame alive
Hope for the hopeless, a light in the darkness
Hope for the hopeless, a light in, a light in the dark
(A light in the dark)
The chains set to break your soul. Day by day
You know the choice you have to make
Freeze up and fade
Or be the flame that lights the way
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up
One life, one shot, give it all you got
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up
Keep the flame alive
Hope for the hopeless. A light in the darkness
Hope for the hopeless. You've got one life, one shot
Give it all you got
Its got a vice grip, like ice running down your spine
This world, it's got you in its sights
Rise, rise. Rise, rise. It's all or nothing.
Rise, rise. Rise, rise. It's do or die.
Rise. Rise. Rise.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up
One life, one shot, give it all you got
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!) Get up, get up
Keep the flame alive
Hope for the hopeless, a light in the darkness
Hope for the hopeless, a light in the dark
We stand for the faithless and the broken
Hope for the hopeless, a light in, a light in the dark

Crushed
Brothers, my brothers. Is this all that we are
Sisters, my sisters. We've been crushed by the fists of god
Welcome to the free world
Where nothing's as it seems
Tell me, can you find a cure
When you can't see, and you can't feel the disease
Can you seek a higher truth
When you're living on your knees
Where freedom grows from blood soaked soil
In the lands of hypocrisy
Because if you can't see the chains tell me what use is a key
It's cash, blood and oil, in the age of the refugee
They're trying to buy our minds, we ain't selling
Bang, bang, bang, hear they're nailing down the coffins
Cut the strings, feel your heart start
Cut the cord
Crack this code of silence
All our lives in the hands of tyrants
Crushed by the fists of god. Crushed
We've been crushed by the fists of god
To the left I see the rats and to the right I see the snakes
In my ear they're whispering sweet sermons of cruel hate
So do you buy the fear, or do you buy the lies
Tell me, what will set us free
Do we kneel before the crooked few
Or do we bite the f*cking hand that feeds
When death casts no shadow and hope carries no weight
Rise into the light and feel the shackles fade away
They fear what we know, We know how they break
Bang, bang, bang, drop the hammer of conscience
Cut the strings, feel your heart start
Cut the cord. Crack this code of silence. All our lives
Crushed by the fists of god. Crushed
We've been crushed by the fists of god
We're just waiting for the sky to fall
Yeah I'm just waiting
Feels like all our lives we've been waiting for the sky to fall
Feels like all this time we've been
Brothers, my brothers
Is this all that we are
Sisters, my sisters
We've been
Crushed by the fists of god
Crushed by the fists of god. Crushed

Fractures
The devil's at our door
The Bloodwoods shiver in the glare of summers haze
Dust of ancient lands breathes beneath our feet
Since the dawn of time, giver of life divine
Shadowed by dark ruination, looming down the line
The poisoned lies of narrow minds
Now spread into the soul of life
Bitter blight fractures life
This call for change won't be too late
The devil's at our door
Selling fool's gold and a miracle cure
Hearts of fire unite and man their barricades
Truth is overwhelming and yet
Hollow men still talk in vain
Sowing sickness, shifting focus away
Setting in stone a future we cannot sustain
We can't quench our thirst on profits gained
And we can't turn back once it begins
Bitter blight fractures life
This call for change won't be too late
They poison the well and expect us to drink
When the river runs dry only then
Then will they see
You can line your pockets, but you can't buy back your soul
These gates are locked, this future is not yours to own
Bitter blight fractures life
This call for change won't be too late

Writings On The Wall
When you're born in the dirt the only way to grow is up
So we reach for the sun but it seems
Every rung that you climb is another crooked line
That you cross off the tally of your dreams
Don't step out of line kid, you learn it pretty fast
Every face has its place in the crowd
They'll give you all the answers, so you don't ask any questions
Then they'll march you with a smile into the ground
And we all go to heaven in a little row boat
So put your hands up, put your hands up
If crawling for the scraps won't ever be enough
Put your hands up, put your hands up
The writing's on the wall, this ain't ever gonna stop
Put your hands up, put your hands up
If crawling for the scraps won't ever be enough
Put your hands up, put your hands up
We'll fight until we die, this ain't ever gonna stop
This stray dog world, this sick sad place
Got a belly full of maggots and disease
Every apple here is rotten, every blessing is a curse
Every word is a lie you best believe
We take one step forward, then two steps back
In a race to the bottom of the barrel
They teach us how to fear
They teach us how to hate
Then they arm us and they march us off to hell
And its left, left, left right left
So put your hands up, put your hands up
If crawling for the scraps won't ever be enough
Put your hands up, put your hands up
The writing's on the wall, this ain't ever gonna stop
Put your hands up, put your hands up
If crawling for the scraps won't ever be enough
Put your hands up, put your hands up
We'll fight until we die, this ain't ever gonna stop
Because they came for our minds
We said nothing
They came for our hopes
We said nothing
They came for our souls
And still we said nothing
Now they're coming for our lives
So what's it gonna take
What's it gonna take
See how they run, see how they run
So put your hands up, put your hands up
If clawing for the scraps won't ever be enough
Put your hands up, put your hands up
The writing's on the wall, this ain't ever gonna stop
Put your hands up, put your hands up
If clawing for the scraps won't ever be enough
Put your hands up, put your hands up
We'll fight until we die, this ain't ever gonna stop

Bottom Feeder
I've heard enough
No more, no more
You've had your time in the sun
Keep your head down kid, your fifteen seconds are done
I know it hurts, I wanted it this way
All these years, I'm still the voice you can't destroy
I know how this one ends
Lying in the gutter spitting teeth at the sidewalk
I know how this one ends
So bite your tongue if you can't tame it
Let's get this straight, while you're listening
In my world you count for nothing
Bow. You'll be the one to
Drown, with the rats and the snakes
Bow. You'll be the one to drown
Bottom feeder
Bottom feeder
Bottom feeder
Bottom feeder
I've heard enough
I've heard enough to know
Who talks the talk, who walks the walk
And who's for f*cking show
I know it hurts, I know it cuts
That I'm still standing
I'm everything you're f*cking not
I know how this one ends
Running from the world as your lies begin to cave
I know how this one ends
Your hollow words make shallow graves
Let's get this straight, while you're listening
In my world you count for nothing
Bow. You'll be the one to
Drown, with the rats and the snakes
Bow. You'll be the one to
Drown
Bottom feeder
Bow. You'll be the one to
Drown, with the rats and the snakes
Bow. You'll be the one to
Drown
Bottom feeder
See I feel no guilt, like I feel no pain
Like I feel the fire running through my veins
You can't draw blood when my heart beats cold
And I'll take your word like I take your name
An ego lost in the valley of self disdain
Pride cometh before the fall
And you'll break as I watch it all collapse
No mercy, No peace. You can't escape this beast
No mercy, No peace. You can't escape this beast
No mercy, No peace. You can't escape this beast
No mercy, No peace. You can't escape now snap your neck to this
You snap your neck to this
No mercy, No peace. You f*cking bottom feeder
No mercy, No peace. You f*cking bottom feeder
F*ck!

The Sound Of Violence
We cut our teeth on sadness
We hunt our sorrows down
We fought the nights so sleepless
We made our beds on the cold hard ground
Seasons come and go, traditions rise and fall
We watch with hunter's eyes
We found the place to call our own
What we have, we hunt. What we kill, we keep
Shadows never die, darkness never breaks
You built your bastions of ivory and pride
We see your gates, but do not knock
We stay out in the wild
What we have, we hunt. What we kill, we keep
Shadows never die, darkness never breaks
This is the sound of violence
These are the songs of war
We are everything you fear
And we're clawing at the walls
This is the sound of violence
These are the songs of war
We are everything you fear
And we're clawing at the walls
We're clawing at the walls
I see a kingdom of closed minds and shallow hearts
So tell me this, would you fall in line
Or rip it all apart
What we have, we hunt
What we kill, we keep
Shadows never die
Darkness never breaks
This is the sound of violence
These are the songs of war
We are everything you fear
And we're clawing at the walls
This is the sound of violence
These are the songs of war
We are everything you fear
And we're clawing at the walls
This is the hour of the wolf
We're clawing at the walls
This is the hour of the wolf
This is the sound of violence
These are the songs of war
We are everything you fear
And we're clawing at the walls
This is the sound of violence
These are the songs of war
We are everything you fear

Vicious
Live, with your back to the wall
The bigger they come, the harder they fall
Live, with a heart made of stone
Slings and arrows and broken bones
One by one by one by one
Kings rise and fall
One by one by one by one
Heavy lies this crown of bones
Darkness behold
This hell we call home
Live, with the eyes of the beast
Never the prey, the weak or the sheep
Live, with the strength to believe
Dead to the world, but we'll haunt their dreams
One by one by one by one
Kings rise and fall
One by one by one by one
Heavy lies this crown of bones
Darkness behold
This hell we call home
Burn it, burn it all
Burn it all to ash
Burn it all to ashes
Darkness behold
This hell we call home

Dedicated
Twelve years I've fought for this
Twelve years, my heart still beats
For the ones who've stood beside me
Still strong
You can't break me
Twelve years I've fought for this
Twelve years, my heart still beats
For the ones who've stood beside me
Through the values that define me
No compromise, no surrender
These beliefs, they make me whole
Never the breaker, promise keeper
Remains the ethic instilled in me
Never one to bite my tongue
Never turn, never run
I've seen with my own eyes
The price of life and the cost of lies
You can't shut this down
I still spit fire
This truth rings loud
You better listen up
You
Can't
You can't break me
Twelve years I've fought for this
Twelve years, blood sweat and tears
For my family here beside me
True to the ethos held inside me
Life pushes hard, you push back
Time makes its mark, you gotta stand the test
Every dog has its day
We make it count
We find our own way
You can't shut this down
I still spit fire
This truth rings loud
You better listen up
You
Can't
You can't break me
Twelve years I've fought for this
Twelve years, my heart still beats
For the ones who've stood beside me
Still strong motherf*cker so step back
Through blood, sweat, tears
We're still here
Unbreakable

A Deathless Song
Let me beat in your heart
Be your drum of war and love
Let me hide in your arms
Be my cage, my key, my lock
Let our bones collide
Till the light falls like anvils from our eyes
When our dreams ignite
Disappear in their fire, oh
(Be my deathless song)
(Fill my aching lungs)
Breathe your life into me
'Cause I drown in your shadow like salt in the rain
If my fear is tomorrow, your memory's the fight in my veins
Let me beat in your heart
Be your drum of war and love
Let me hide in your arms
Be my cage, my key, my lock
Let our bones collide
Till the light falls like anvils from our eyes
When our dreams ignite
Disappear in their fire
Be my open sky
Fill these wild eyes
Breathe your life into me
'Cause I drown in your shadow like salt in the rain
If my fear is tomorrow, your memory's the fight in my veins
Your memory's the fight in my veins
I drown in your shadow like salt in the rain
If my fear is tomorrow, your memory's the fight in my veins
