Flash in the pan and you're gone Flash in the pan and you're gone Flash in the pan and you're gone Flash in the pan and you're gone Broken for another lover Lost beneath my own skin Drowning for a made-up reason Basking in my own sins Take a chance and forget me Clearly I can't pull a win Lusting for a break, so open Pull me down, God can't forgive Who will God forgive? Who will God forgive? Who will God forgive? Who will God forgive? Crack another hollow crypt Tearing down another wall Holds me from my own redemption Holds me so I never fall Will I fade right from your mindset? Time will only ever tell Do not fret my one and only Only I will know this hell Who will God forgive? Who will God forgive? Who will God forgive? Who will God forgive?
2.	Don't Go Gently 04:25	lyrics	buy track
I treated you like nothing like a fool Just one of my helpless tools You filled the void that wrecked my soul But it's a lie and I'm not whole You're trying to run from something I guess I don't know what You can't act like it's nothing Please don't give up You drink to avoid your issues I have a common thread Sometimes I think I'd be better If I was dead You're trying to run from something I guess I don't know what You have to get a new state of mind That is something I cannot touch It rips my body and soul Watching what you do Just go hurting yourself I can't help you I let it all pour out I never held back a word And then it became something I wasn't sure about I know it wasn't fair I know it wasn't right But you can't just let this come Take you from the light Don't go gently Don't go gently You gotta run You gotta run towards the light
3.	Zeitgeist 04:18	lyrics	buy track
Ignore the cries of those who strive to find a place to rest Spotlight on crimes to twist intent, tricking the ignorant Sympathize and realize, understand the rhetoric Having faith in fellow man will treat you to your death Is this what you wanted? You ran them out of time Is this what you wanted? You wasted a life Is this what you wanted? You ran them out of time Is this what you wanted? You wasted a life Find a man with gun in hand to take what isn't theirs Let them rot but send some prayers to show you really care Eye for eye will end in lies and you'll never know Put a dog tag around his neck to watch the profit grow Is this what you wanted? You ran them out of time Is this what you wanted? You wasted a life Is this what you wanted? You ran them out of time Is this what you wanted? You wasted a life Is this what you wanted? You ran them out of time Is this what you wanted? You wasted a life Is this what you wanted? You ran them out of time Is this what you wanted? You wasted a life
4.	Kingdom Come 04:54	lyrics	buy track
Nothing now Childhood's end Raised from these ashes To be torn down again But why? Why are you out on the other side? The grass is greener, was that not a lie? Children of men have kept it that way Bones decay and skin rots away How? How could you treat me like I was nothing? I've never really thought that I was alive How could you treat me like I was nothing?
5.	Thy Will Be Done 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Take these tears you rotten bastards Reaping what you sow Nothing but your hollow laughter I'll never grow Split the spliff and light it after You ought to know Indigo with browning apples You've got to run Fuel that flame Rip it Take it Caught inside your game Fuel that flame Rip it Take it Caught inside your game Hollow be thy name? Cast a vale Hope none will find you Breach of truth Would undermine you Nothing will ever harm you As long as you run As long as you run As long as you run Fuel that flame Rip it Take it Caught inside your game Fuel that flame Rip it Take it Caught inside your game Hallow be thy name? Nothing now Nothing now Nothing now Nothing now Nothing now Nothing now Fuel that flame Rip it Take it Caught inside your game Fuel that flame Rip it Take it Caught inside your game Hallow be thy name? Run
6.	Temperance 04:51	lyrics	buy track
Time will rear its head Pulling you back in Watch the river flow It will slowly take you in As I watch you go A promise is a promise That much you see I feel it burn across my skin In this bitter symphony You took what you wanted Well take what you need You wouldn't stay to watch me die But you'd love to watch me bleed Currents carry you to and fro Distance biding us our time A chance to help you grow Drown in your space Memories will start to fade and I will be erased A promise is a promise That much you see I feel it burn across my skin In this bitter symphony You took what you wanted Well take what you need You wouldn't stay to watch me die But you'd love to watch me bleed Just hold your breath and forget me Just hold your breath and forget me Just hold your breath and forget me Just hold your breath and forget me
