Hellsong 02:34
Isolation creeps in as the world around me burns Those without food reach out for help, but god won’t save them Prayers left unanswered by some king in the clouds When there’s no god/there’s no faith to be found As we fall beneath the dying sun We all pray to a God that will never come As we fall beneath the dying sun We all pray for an answer This is the product of the blind faith we’ve held on to for far too long And now the sinners have aligned with the believers As they sing their Hellsong

Unclean 05:01
Disgust lies in the unknown when you choose to ignore it Despite the proof I’ve given you to change your mind I’ll break all your laws and challenge what you believe I am the end to the way that you think A destructive force to the air that you breathe I AM UNCLEAN Force your way into my brain, Give me that holy feeling Tear apart my everything, Just to be crucified for nothing Force your way into my veins, Give me that holy feeling Then bleed me out and tell your friends That you saved me from myself The perfection you seek and ask me to achieve is unattainable 'Cause I've read a few books and the one you live by told me so I didn't just fall from the grace of God by accident, It's people like you who fucking pushed me into my decent But if we’re all going to hell At least I’ll be in good company Force your way into my brain, Give me that holy feeling Tear apart my everything, Just to be crucified for nothing Force your way into my veins, Give me that holy feeling Then bleed me out and tell your friends That you saved me from myself I've said this be before And I'll say over and over again. I will not get down on my knees and repent When my only sin is living

I am the dead horse walking But you can’t beat me back to life Beat me back to life, So I can live again Just to make the same mistakes and carry the regrets I had before I left I find myself stumbling every time I try to climb So beat me back to life and maybe I won’t fuck it up this time How many years of my life’s been wasted Not knowing who I am or why I’m here How many days have been left uncounted While I ran from my past and lived in fear How many years of my life’s been wasted Not knowing who I am or why I’m here I just need to know how much time has been wasted I am the dead horse walking So keep beating me until I live again So I can taste the air that I need to survive and try to find a piece of mind I am the dead horse walking and it’s time to take a dive With my talons perched upon the precipice I prepare myself for the swan dive Leap of faith I’m falling fast and I don’t think that I’ll make it out alive But if I don’t make it At least I’ll die knowing that I tried. How many years of my life’s been wasted Not knowing who I am or why I’m here How many days have been left uncounted While I ran from my past and lived in fear How many years of my life’s been wasted Not knowing who I am or why I’m here I just need to know how much time has been wasted

Murder Your Confidant So They Wont Spill Your Secrets Then Lay Them On My Ears So You Can Kill Me When You Need It Stand next to the flame just to feel like you’re burning Deflect all the blame with an armor of rust Kill what you don’t know and try to claim you’re a savior You don’t need the truth when you have blinding trust What about the people unlike you The already aching the scared and confused As you watch them die will you feel anything Will you feed the wolves that are snapping at their necks (SNAPPING AT THEIR NECKS) How can you lead with no remorse for the pain that you’ve caused Instead you just sit and watch as the world crumbles and rots Don't wonder where you fucking went wrong, when the war of end times comes for you and when the air turns to poison you'll be gasping for breath You can’t just write us off, with another order You are no leader, you are the worst of our kind. You promised greatness, but failure is all you will provide. What about the people unlike you The already aching the scared and confused As you watch them die will you feel anything Will you feed the wolves that are snapping at their necks (SNAPPING AT THEIR NECKS) We'll watch you fall into nothingness.

Burial Site 02:32
One by one watch the death count rise My pain was left at the burial site To find your friend with a head full of lead Pace in the night to the sound of her death Have faith in no one don't waste your breathe She was my family, I lost my friend 12 years old and not aware of the world Shipwrecked in a lake of fire The commotion of coping with oblivion This is the product of a fragile mind Your whole life spent building up A monument to compromise To hope and pray For blessings from the grave Is pointless when you're trapped in perdition A meaningless causality, Living in dormancy, This is eternity.

All the sacrifices you never made and promises you made but just couldn't keep Have left me alone in my head Thinking you’re better off dead to me. Why can’t you see you’re better off dead? ‘Cause selfish is all that you are And every time you come around it’s just another scar on the memories we share If you had the energy to lay down and make me Then stand up, and fucking raise me. You say you’re proud of what I've become ‘cause until now I was your only son. You say you’re proud of what I've become But you never really cared, no you were never fucking there To see the boy who I was grow into the man I am now. Cold nights spent without you by my side. Where were you? All you ever did was run and hide. Did you ever hear my cries? So don’t try to take credit ‘Cause who I am today is no thanks to you I’ve lived and I’ve learned. I made it this far without you. I’ve dealt with the bullshit, Of no presence just neglect So stop playing the victim because we all know that this is your fault. Cold nights spent without you by my side. Where were you? All you ever did was run and hide. Did you ever hear my cries? So don’t try to take credit ‘Cause who I am today is no thanks to you I’ve lived and I’ve learned. I made it this far without you.

Filled to the brim with riffs, double bass and flatulence, TBS runs off of blood, sweat, and the idea that music is more than a sound. It's a message.
