Innocence was drained from your soul, rottenness grows inside you
The worms are digging in the heart a grave of sins never told
A bud in youth … Destined to be the most beautiful flower
A rose then … But with corrupted roots!
What now? Only a faded memory of what you were
And see! Now you are the monster you tried to destroy!
When life is withered ...There is no water which can bring it back!
Ivy smothers your soul! Petals fall and you are alone!
All beauty is gone! Only the thorn is what remains!
In this garden of madness ... Decapitated rose! Decapitated rose!
No lie, no truth can save you from the time guillotine
Blood from blood! Hate from hate! This perfect circle is finally closed
You fall into the abyss! Now see, there is no end!
No ground, no past to lean on, to get up and start up again!
Bound in this madness! Smothered by your sins!
Watching the years run away, feeling the wind on dry skin
Hearing the whispers of past life, searching a shelter from Death
"No tree, it is said, can grow to Heaven, unless its roots reach down to Hell"
In the hourglass...
Every grain that drops is a piece of you who's dying
Every moment that passes is a scar on your skin
A flower in the desert... A flower in the desert!
A decapitated rose!

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228
