I've been waiting for this storm to pass Counting the grains in the hourglass And i have waited for so long That my eyes have turned white Secluded by choice I wait for simpler times not knowing that those time have passed Word by word, Blow by blow Hoping that finally They will even the score Someone will even the score We are led to believe That we are nothing more than sinners in the hands of angry god I've been waiting for this storm to pass Counting the grains in the hourglass And i have waited for so long That my eyes have turned white I've been waiting for this storm to pass Counting the grains in the hourglass And i have counted for so long That i'm afriad to leave home While you kneel, with your head pointing mekka Your brethren is about to meet their maker While you state your confession to a childless man Those with crosses on their chest Send your son to a foreign land we are led to believe That we are nothing more we are the sinners in the hands of angry god

All the things in life that are there to adore Lost their charm, all I wish is to go. The shit that floods my day From every medium, every corner This chaos pouring down like rain I need to swipe that smile away Sticks and stones still break my bones And the words are getting bolder Everything that does not kill me no longer makes me stronger Can we lock up our dreams and our hopes Can we Shut off All the news from the world Just for one minute, just one day Lock our homes throw the keys away Walk out that door, And lose our way High time to stray From the path that looks so safe Since it offers decay I leave the vermin to this plague One way to go keep moving forward on and on Every place is like home When you have nowhere else to go One way to go shut the door and cut the cord Every place is like home When all you can do is roam

There is a price for your soul You already paid your weight in gold There is a fee for everyone who joins Conviction’s sound is a rain of coins ‘Cause Greed is good and cash is king God will sell you almost any fucking thing Salvation bought by credit cards While your Family waits at home and starves Redemption paid by check You managed to bribe your regret White choker, a sign of those in need Of fancy cars and such a hefty bling With their arms so deep in your pocket That you can be sure you just felt the touch of god Salvation bought by credit cards While your Family waits at home and starves Redemption paid by check You managed to bribe your regret Make no mistake The shepherd reaps What is in his flock’s hands Make no mistake from your crops he is corpulent And you bend your back Over the land you rent

Discouraged 02:53
I fail every single day To call myself by own full name I praise how I let down My childhood self, and I don't know how but I got lost I’ve been discouraged since I don’t know when For last few years I reinforced my shame I pray, today, to end the blame I chain, myself, to one fixed way Forget, all the things you planned Regret, for every choice you made Compelled, to find one right way You’ve been misled by your choice of fate And now you’re lost I’ve been discouraged since I don’t know when For last few years I reinforced my shame I pray, today, to end the blame I chain, myself, to one fixed way I get lost, every single day, then I get found, then you leave me be, then I get lost, and I root for the day I won’t get found, and stop this cliche
