1.	I. Hand Of God 02:11	lyrics	buy track
Scar my body beyond recognition Count my sins and just walk away A gift occurs within obliteration Strike me down I will return the same I can feel the hate corroding my veins I dream of escape My heart is torn, my mind is empty Loathing the world around me I am rooted in regret Set the seas in motion to wash me away I am king of nothing Bury me below the cold dead earth Let me into your heart, or feed me to the grave There is no other way A blessing to be lost to the world I can smell the dirt But I am doomed to shift the ground Beneath my feet For the better part of eternity I radiate with animosity
2.	II. Iron & Blood 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Hang me over the edge of the Earth Bleed me dry from the thorn in my side How many times can we choose to die And yet the body refuses? Mankind’s ignorance has left me broken No will to push any further Giving in to all his fear and hatred Passing judgement he has no right to see He burns the ground, to spite his neighbor No love outside of his own misery Hang me over the edge of the Earth Bleed me dry from the thorn in my side And if this decay is a contradiction Let it rot me from the inside out And if my pride leads me to my failure Let the world tear me apart I find no peace in the world that I see The wolves whisper in the ears of the sheep And lead to slaughter with no remorse or empathy Blind to everything Hang me over the edge of the Earth Bleed me dry from the thorn in my side Leave me behind to rot I will live through iron and blood And when our time is done Hell devours everything Leave me behind to rot I will live through iron and blood And when our time is done Hell devours everything

I’ll watch the sea march its waves across your grave Shallow and cold, just like the life you’ve lived 1000 years, I’ve been alive the whole time Just to watch the fucking Earth slowly die Mankind and it’s vice, a death grip on all life Killing everything, a parasite Curse this eternal life I’ll watch the sea march its waves across your grave Shallow and cold, just like the life you’ve lived We reap what we sow, we die as we have lived I’ll say my goodbyes, you have nothing left This life was a dream, I am just now awake But I had a glorious vision Put this world out of it’s fucking misery The human race was a fucking mistake I am become death Destoryer of worlds The unforgiving weight of this burden Can’t stop the end of the Earth We deserve nothing but night I’ll watch the sea march its waves across your grave Shallow and cold, just like the life you’ve lived We reap what we sow, we die as we have lived I’ll say my goodbyes, you have nothing left CHAOS REIGNS Swallow the Earth No memorial Swallow the Earth

Human, All Too Human
by Of Sound And Silence

Alex and Andy's other project, Of Sound and Silence, shows a slightly different side, leaning more towards melodic hardcore of the mid-2000s. Be sure to check them out! Portraits
