This Cold Black

Album: All Hope Is Gone (2008)

  • Mother nature is a coward (mother nature is a whore)
    No more presence, no more power (I pray for death, by the hour)
    Cut another smile into me (into me is all you are)
    My artifice won't recognize me (you won't find me) anymore

    Post-traumatic war machines, the pessimists still won't believe
    Throw away my past mistakes, it's all I can to feel
    Let my weapons be your children, let my armies be your damned
    Try to suffer on in silence, try to stop me if you can

    Pneumatic destroyer, pathetic seducer
    Distortion sufficient
    Some day, one day, we'll live our lives again

    My ghosts have found their way back home
    I have every right to kill my own
    I am something now that never could exist
    My anguish conquers all, pay the price and watch me fall
    My only key is broken, my broken key is only? Me

    Pneumatic destroyer, pathetic seducer
    Distortion sufficient
    Some day, one day, we'll live our lives again

    You utter waste of tired flesh,
    It doesn't matter if you can't progress
    Even now they still create me, give me your ignorance, irritate me
    I am made of the same debris, you want it all but you didn't want me
    Hypocrite with no real use, I'm alive, what's your excuse?

    Pneumatic destroyer, pathetic seducer
    Distortion sufficient
    Some day, one day, we'll live our lives again
    Pneumatic destroyer, pathetic seducer
    Distortion sufficient
    Some day, one day, we'll live our lives again

    We'll live our lives again Writer/s: CHRIS FEHN, CHRISTOPHER FEHN, COREY TAYLOR, CRAIG JONES, JAMES ROOT, MICHAEL CRAHAN, MICKAEL THOMSON, NATHAN JORDISON, PAUL GRAY, SID WILSON, SIDNEY WILSON
