Chimaira - Resurrection Album Lyrics

Resurrection

Free at last
finally tasting happiness
5 years of hell for nothing
trapped inside the minds of failures
A wise man once said
That which does not kill us makes us stronger
But we were dead
So are we now invincible?

Determination, perseverance, resolution... Resurrection

Final straw underlying ignorance
Consumed by greed and hate (and hate)
Kept under the feet of tyrants
Reality kicked in
Raced against time just to start all over
Treated like shit
Pushed aside and expendable

Determination, Perseverance, Resolution... Resurrection

We have become, So god damn powerful [x6]
All the beatings you gave us
We will use them against you

Determination, Perseverance, Resolution... Resurrection
Free At last
Finally tasting happiness
Resurrection

Pleasure In Pain

Too tired to figure it out my head is spinning
My heart is so drained right now I think I'm slipping

On, my last nerve
I'll get what I deserve

I need this, I want this
I'm so obsessed
Pleasure In Pain
I feel whole again

I break the seal with my hand my blood starts pumping
Screams ring out so loud right now so deafening

On, my last nerve
I'll get what I deserve

I need this, I want this
I'm so obsessed
Pleasure In Pain
I feel whole again

You'll never forget my face!

Worthless

[Arnold, Devries]

Did you ever realize
that your way of life
is affecting all around you,
bottom feeding ignorance
you make me fucking sick.
Did you ever realize
that everyone you know
can't fucking stand you,
acting like you know everything
when you don't even have a clue.

You're worthless

I can't fucking believe
you never realized
that your way of life
revolves around theft and greed.
Every week a new identity
yet still an asshole to me.
Did you ever realize
no matter how hard you try
you'll never make a difference,
just keep on fucking pretending
that you're a saint.

You're worthless

Nobody cares if you die

Worthless

You are fucking worthless

Six

She has done so many things it's so surreal
She has seen so many things it's so unreal
She has been almost everywhere and tasted everything
She has been a dream since birth who could conquer everything

Night after night after every single night
she never gave up!
Fight after fight after motherfucking fight
She came out on top!

One rule, one way of life
Only, the strong survive

Never back down never back down
destroying everything

Blood all the blood every single drop of blood
She sucks it up!
Breath every breath every single damn breath
She screams with love!

One rule, one way of life
Only, the strong survive

Never back down never back down
Destroying everything
Nobody in this world will ever stop her
Nobody in this world will ever touch her
Everybody in this world will want to be her
Everybody in this world just needs to see her

She's everything
And she'll destroy the world
Never back down never back down
Destroying Everything!

No Reason To Live

Brown yellow and white diseases
Plague the streets with a vile stench
The smell of shit and piss fill the air
So fucking disgusting

Day and night feed off humanity
Scraping by on the remnants of life
No cure no hope no way to change
Paper bags filled with liquid love

No, no reason to live!

Steel benches and cardboard beds
Sheets made of black and white
To hide the sun
Live off garbage like a fucking pig
No way to survive

Day and night feed off humanity
Scraping by on the remnants of life
No cure no hope no way to change
Paper bags filled with liquid love

No, no reason to live

So fucking disgusting!

No reason to live!

Killing The Beast

You're a man who lives in solitude
Never knowing what life could bring you
You have to raise your fists just to break through
All the voices inside your head that make you

You're a man who's filled with attitude
Don't you know that everyone hates you
It would be so simple for me to kill you
Mark my words my man I will stop you

Killing the beast killing the beast kill

You'll always see me
You'll always need me
You'll never last one minute without me

You can't take away all the lies that you told me
But I can take away all the feelings that I had for you

You'll always see me
You'll always need me
You'll never last one minute without me
I'm killing the beast
Killing the beast
Tear his heart out

The Flame

Her eyes opened
After that terrible night
Would she ever be the same
A revelation of her own demise
No one left but herself to blame

Her silence only fueled the flame
And now the angels
Have lost their wings
In daddy's playground
Nothing is what it seems
This was the last time
hat he'd see her
That he'd touch her
That he'd make his little girl scream out loud

I'm gonna pound you into oblivion
I will make you fucking bleed
There is no escaping me
This is your destiny

He came to her
through the window again
The fan blowing to hide the noise
No hesitation from the devil inside
Everyone he touched was destroyed

His madness only fueled the flame
And now the angels
Have lost their wings
In daddy's playground
Nothing is what it seems
This was the last time
hat he'd see her
That he'd touch her
That he'd make his little girl scream out loud

I'm gonna pound you into oblivion
I will make you fucking bleed
There is no escaping me
This is your destiny

Time to walk with me
Time to die!

Let me take you somewhere secluded
Where only the trees can see
If I can't have you no one will
Didn't you know it was always me

Your flame now, burned out
You were daddy's little girl
Your flame now, burned out
Oh god what have I done?

Oh god... what have I done?

End It All

Another day another town another city
It's all the same
And I used to find comfort in all of this
It's an excuse to deviate from the norm
Pathetic isn't it
After all these years, still not content

Happiness has been long lost
Suffering a drug with no cost
How great it would be to end it all

Another show another state another country
It's always been the same to me
Commanding troops just like a general
Leading the warriors into a battle
Pathetic isn't it
After all these years, still not content

Happiness has been long lost
Suffering a drug with no cost
How great it would be to end it all

Why bother it won't satisfy
Nothing ever does
The pills, the love, the recognition and support
I live to die, rot and decay

Happiness has been long lost
Suffering a drug with no cost
How great it would be to end it all
How great it would be to run away!

Black Heart

Black heart dead soul
Apathy and misery
Loss of control
Any of the above would describe me
I hate being inhuman
All I do is fuck everything up
Someone please just put a gun to my head

I just don't care anymore
I'm broken, tired and sore
I just don't care anymore
From my black heart

Faceless humans
Just want to get inside of me
Shut down long ago
Not even the closest know me
Like a leper everything I touch
Rots, dies then turns to dust
Everyone should just stay away from me

I just don't care anymore
I'm broken, tired and sore
I just don't care anymore
From my black heart

Needle

I gave up trying
No use in lying
Another broken promise
Another bond demolished

Will I ever give a fuck
About anyone or anything
Day by day live in denial
The needle is reality

Weightless, Painless, Numbness, Shameless

Lying on the floor
I don't even care
Feeling so useless
Only one thing will fix this

Veins are flowing with my solution
Picturing death for inspiration
Set me free
Oh what a feeling as it enters my skin
Taking me back before the life filled with sin

Weightless, Painless, Numbness, Shameless

I'll show you the world when I'm the hand of god
I'll give you everything you need
I'll make all of your dreams come true
I'll take away all your misery
I'll answer all of your prayers
I'll fill you with hope
I'll feed you when you're hungry
I'll be the one to help you cope

Weightless, Numbness, Painless, Shameless
Needle!

Empire

Do you believe in me
Enough to sacrifice
Do you believe in me
Enough to end your life

Do you believe in me
Enough to kill for me
Do you believe in me
Enough to die for me
Come on and join me
Grab my hand
Together we will feast
On the blood of the weak

Empire
Destroying dignity
Empire
Destroying humanity
When you walk the path
You will discover a world undreamed of
Your suffering will be legendary
Do you believe in suffering

Do you believe in me
Enough to slay your brother
Do you believe in me
Enough to betray your family
Come on and join me
Grab my hand
Together we will feast
On the blood of the weak

Empire
Destroying dignity
Empire
Destroying humanity

When you walk the path
Your feelings won't betray you
When you walk the path
Your agony will elate you

Empire
Destroying dignity
Empire
Destroying humanity

Kingdom Of Heartache

Years ago they came to me, claiming they would protect me
Their fingers felt like silk, and lips tasted like candy
They were my everything, something left from a dream
This was the first time I felt so close to God
And all the angels lead me to his kingdom

There is no escaping
Judgement arise
Trapped in the kingdom of heartache

There's no way to understand, what the hell has happened
One minute on top of the world, the next minute I'm drowning
They took away everything, shattered all my dreams
This was the last time I felt so close to God
And all the angels lead me to his kingdom

There is no escaping
Judgement Arise
Trapped in the kingdom of heartache

[...]
Sacrifice, keep on bleeding
Mutilate all my feelings
Together in hell becoming a demon

Kingdom of heartache
Judgement Arise [x3]
In the kingdom of heartache

Paralyzed

What's that behind her back (her back)
Suffocated with a plastic bag
she grasps for air
next struggle her feet are nailed to the floor

Whoa

Carving again and again
Slicing away the flesh
(Don't choke to death)
Begging again and again
Praying for it all to end
The knife severs her spine

Paralyzed
Paralyzed
Hole in her spine
She is paralyzed

Oh

Bleeding from the back of her neck
Gagging from all the blood that's in her mouth
Breathing her last breath
Fighting to stay alive

Paralyzed
Paralyzed
Hole in her spine
She is paralyzed

[Solo]

Paralyzed
Paralyzed
Hole in her spine
She is paralyzed

Paralyzed
Paralyzed
Hole in her spine
She is paralyzed

Oh...God...Look at that.
