"Crown Of Phantoms" (2013)




The Machine lyrics - Chimaira

It is alive beyond the dark side passing through the light
Blast off, catalyst paradigm shift of consciousness
Transcend the end we manifest what we think
We create all the love and the hate through the battles we go
We have died a million times before

Every struggle opens a door forget this mortal coil and rise up
The time has come to reboot the machine
Watch it thrive, Living the high life dreaming of paradise
Cast off, mask off alien green crystalline do you feel alive?

No Mercy lyrics - Chimaira

Wide awake bleeding on the inside doubt
The consequences feelings internal holocaust, blast
Reach for the gun and put it to their heads
The uncontrollable appetite to kill the pain
Where is your god now? Where is your faith?
Reach for the gun and put it to their heads
Force them out the voice is pulling me away

No more lies no more goddamn Hollywood vampires
Suck it dry no mercy for the heartless
It is a beautiful day to die kill the pain rip their hearts out

All That's Left Is Blood lyrics - Chimaira

Take a look to the sky emptiness surrounds us
Feel so meaninglessness
Murder, anarchy a state of distress
So cynical and halfhearted
Becoming the shameless no association
The signal disconnects who cares what has been said
The tide turned to red
All that is left is blood

Feel the cold steel on the back of your head
One click and it is over
Nobody to judge the godless
No guardian angels
There is nothing in our way
The world is ours to take
All that is left is blood

I Despise lyrics - Chimaira

Fake, judgemental hypocrite self-righteous piece of shit you think you know it all
Don't know a fucking thing about me do you? no, you're everything I despise
And nothing will save you now celebrate the demise of broken dreams
And empty promises you are the disease
Pathetic waste of life get down on your knees
Beg to stay alive, The truth is I can't fight the urge to smash your fucking head in
To break your fucking face crazed, Sharpening the blade all that's left in me is rage
It would be worth it all to put you in your fucking grave

Plastic Wonderland lyrics - Chimaira

Hello again my friend it's time to start there is no end
Choking on diamond fantasy enter the madness
Beautiful sadness you won't escape this stranglehold and it feels so cold
And I can't stop won't stop all the highs and lows
Overwhelming paranoia to ease the blows

It's a holiday, another holiday
It's just a holiday in this plastic wonderland
Unleashing the excess illuminate darkness
You will embrace this troubled soul
Can you take me higher just to make me low

The Transmigration

Crown Of Phantoms lyrics - Chimaira

Survival of the fittest denial of existence
Missing a piece inside of me I must awaken
Revival of everything I'd live and die for
Too late to go back now the walls are crashing down
Walk with me through misery wear the crown of phantoms
Devour the weak empower the meek finding the beast inside of me

And I will grow stronger for everything I'd live and die for
Erase the ghosts from the past
Awake, release the anger at last
Come walk with me through misery

Spineless lyrics - Chimaira

These words will cut you like a knife
And I'm killing this idea that you're perfect
Blinded by your own your own revolution
Misguided following insane delusions all illusions
Weak minded backstabber and if I told you once I told you a thousand times
When will you realize you're spineless?
Just another useless wasted life so spineless
How does it feel motherfucker to know I'm right?

Running away you're just a coward feel my strength
Fall victim to the power get on your knees and pray for death
How does it taste your final breath such a disgrace
To the human race a total fraud, one side, two faced
You are the master of manipulation
Bow to me, embrace the decimation.

Kings Of The Shadow World lyrics - Chimaira

Horror, inconceivable to believe torture, penetrate the heart of humanity
To satisfy is to sacrifice we rely on death to give meaning to life
Cult healing incomprehensible twenty first century massacre
We are what you fear the most in this drugged up dystopia
Catatonic butchers rule the mind we are what you fear the most
Orchestrating execution kings of the shadow world

Panic, everlasting cause for alarm terror, trepidation dropping the bomb
To satisfy is to sacrifice leave them, incapacitated twenty first century massacre
We are what you fear the most in this drugged up dystopia
Catatonic butchers rule your mind we are what you fear the most
Orchestrating execution kings of the shadow world
Behind the curtain evil darkness behind the shadows build inside us

Wrapped In Violence lyrics - Chimaira

Fuck what they say a dying age
A boiling rage will forever define us
And now your back's against the wall
The burning flame will forever divide us
Welcome to the separation say goodbye to your generation
New era of domination life is chaos wrapped in violence

Fuck yesterday we're here to slay
A cloudy haze will forever define us
And now your back's against the wall
You're hollow fear will forever divide us
Fuck what you think no, fuck everything
A middle finger will forever define us
And now your back's against the wall

Love Soaked Death lyrics - Chimaira

Love soaked death two suns on one tongue
A kiss from across the universe
The black bottomless pit of hell
Kaleidoscope altered imagery
I was so terrified to see is this all that I've become
A hopeless tragedy acceleration toward infinity
The walls are closing new reality
Opened eye is this death?
Love soaked death two suns on one tongue
A kiss from across the universe
Enter my brain sweet poison

"The Age Of Hell" (2011)




The Age Of Hell lyrics - Chimaira

Are you ready to die?
One more swing
Bloodletting
There’s no place left for you to hide
Your world is now over and no one can save you
Ambition has been laid to waste
This gift and creation are plagued with disease
Fury and grief are displaced
No way to prepare for the end
Blood will be shed
Final farewell
This is the age of hell
Heading towards insanity
Scandalous demise
Sacrifice is imminent
The smell of death breathes new life
The structure is cracking from rot and decay
The faces will all look dismayed
No type of prevention, no chance to discover just what could have been the way
Bones have been broken and teeth have been cracked
Walking disaster, headed straight for death
There is no way to get out alive
This temple has fallen for good
Will there be a chance to rebuild it all
If I could fix things I would

Clockwork lyrics - Chimaira

Clockwork I hear the sound of the bell
The more I push the more I forget
I’m in the mood to lose myself
The more I push the closer I get
I started off small
But you knew it wouldn’t stay that way
I’ve tripled the amount three times over
Don’t know where it’s taking me
Every day I fly just a little higher
I want to float forever
And leave this world behind
I traveled long and windy roads
The more I see the more I fear
There’s only one thing in this world
That makes everything crystal clear
I’ll keep the earth below
Drifting through eternity

Losing My Mind lyrics - Chimaira

Ready to explode
The pressure buries me
The poison takes control
I drop down to my knees
I scream
Get this invader out of me
I need help this is killing me
I’m blinded by the thought of tomorrow
I’m drowning in this ocean of sorrow
I need to leave it all behind
I think I’m losing my mind
Trembling
My hands start to shake
The sweat drips down
Can’t look in the mirror
This face is unfamiliar
Temple throbbing
Panicked I start to scream
Is there anyone out there that can help me?
I’ll try anything to make it stop

Time Is Running Out lyrics - Chimaira

I used to feel invincible
Nothing could stop me
Now the smallest things are crippling
Where did my passion go?
Why don’t I dream anymore?
Is there anything real out there?
I’ve lost all faith I had before
How much more can I take
Sick of making the same mistakes
These memories have torn my heart
Now time is running out
It’s hard to face the facts
Head hurts from thinking
All of this could have been avoided
I had to destroy it all
I had to start a new
What is lurking around the corner?
This arrow of time is irreversible
This endless loop repeating infinitely
I’m swallowed by the storm

Year Of The Snake lyrics - Chimaira

Choking on these feelings
This awakening has been at arms length for too long, it’s hard to
accept when all I had was their words
I’ve seen the devil and I’ve kissed the mouth of sin
Bloodshot eyes and senses heightened I am seeking to get in
These chains no longer bound me
I’m shedding my skin once again
In the year of the snake I was born into a world of pain and heartache
Isolation was the key to unlocking my soul now the story will be told

Beyond The Grave lyrics - Chimaira

I’ve seen the signs
But I’ve ignored them
Sickness has taken my soul
This force deep inside has led me to this day
I no longer want to be their slave
I’m not meant for heaven or hell
So what waits for me beyond the grave?
I see the light
Shining before me
Fearless I’ll walk alone
Into the void everything is unknown
The canvas is no longer black
The situations have changed for the better
C’est la vie
The smoke fills the cracks

Born In Blood lyrics - Chimaira

[feat. Phil Bozeman Of Whitechapel]

Born in blood
Spawn of ignorance
Damned from the start
Hatred, violence, vengeance
Dragged through the mud
Survived the flood
We proved them wrong
The masses have been silenced
There is no more doubt
We’ve won the war inside our minds
Nothing can stop us now
Rage growing stronger
Strength rising, conquer

We stand alone
In a blood soaked wilderness
Ruling the night
Free from persecution
Slaughtering all those who oppose
Reveal the facts
The veil has been lifted

Nothing can stop us now
Rage growing stronger
Strength rising conquer

These battered broken hands
Have been forged to iron fists
To crush the strongest minds, to build the weak into gods
The weight of the world can't stop me now for I hold it in the palm of my hand
This universe is my stomping ground
There is no love, there is no peace
Emotional barriers have been reached
I have walked with the dead hand in hand
I see nothing coming of this master plan
I want to live where nothing is alive

Stoma lyrics - Chimaira

[Instrumental]

Powerless lyrics - Chimaira

She lays there helpless
Alone in the darkness
My chest is so heavy with pain you can’t describe
Sliced, cut
Why?
Skin so raw
I’ve never been so frightened, so enlightened
What kind of god does this?
We were so powerless
Summertime we saw the king die
Does anyone care?
Living nightmares
Breathing heavy as I remember those months
Throat tightens
I wish I were strong like you

Trigger Finger lyrics - Chimaira

There is a price to pay for freedom
There is a price to pay for bliss
What is it worth to you my friend?
What’s more important in the end?
Black hole swallowing
Mental shattering
The virus has consumed you
Deep down
Breakdown
Meltdown
Countdown
Pitch-black attack
And there’s no turning back cause
Right now I’ve got my finger on the trigger
And I’m ready to pull
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
And my sights aimed at you
There’s no easy way to say this
There’s no easy way to stop
Will you look back on this day
And understand the reasons why
You are following the same path
Wallowing
I wish you would wake up
These routines will be the end of you

Scapegoat lyrics - Chimaira

Burning inside
Slumped over
Living a lie
I reach for the whip to tame the beast
Your eyes judge what they do not know
Don’t look at me that way
The words you use behind closed doors make their way down the hall
I hear it all
I’m not your fucking scapegoat
Why’s it so hard to see the truth
How much more do I have to prove?
What am I supposed to do
When nothing I say, not matter how true, will make the actions of yesterday
Easier for you
Why can’t you get over it?
Why can’t you move on?
Where were you?
The reflection that you see
Does it haunt you daily?
I shouldn’t live in that shame
I’m not the one to blame
There is a little of me inside all of you

Samsara lyrics - Chimaira

[feat. Emil Werstler Of Dååth]

[Instrumental]

Scum Of The Earth lyrics - Chimaira

[USB Bonus Track]

It’s not the end of the world
But it sure fucking feels that way
Tired of all the complaints
What the fuck is left to say?
We’re wasting this life focusing on yesterday
We’ll never move forward this way
Now we’re feeling the ground shake
Bruised, broken, abandoned
We are the scum of the earth
Cursed, beaten forgotten
I bite down on my tongue
Choking on the bile
This place has become disgraced
And I’d pull out my teeth before I’d smile
Disgusted with the human race
We destroy what we did not create
Be careful when you throw stones
You might get smashed with bricks
We are all diseased and crying inside
It becomes hard to breathe, hard to feel
Knowing nothing will survive

Your Days Are Numbered lyrics - Chimaira

[USB Bonus Track]

These eyes are watching every move that you make
You’ll pay for your mistakes
Your excuses are weak
You are from the king
You’re a fucking fake
A bat without wings
Your words fall on deaf ears
You better believe your days are numbered
I’ll take you down
Your reign of terror is coming to an end
I see through the lies
I’ll take command away from you
I’ll expose every fucking truth
You’ve reached the end of the line
It’s been a long time coming
My hate continues to grow
Don’t bite the hand that feeds

Clockwork Remix lyrics - Chimaira

[USB Bonus Track]

Clockwork I hear the sound of the bell
The more I push the more I forget
I'm in the mood to lose myself
The more I push the closer I get
I started off small
But you knew it wouldn't stay that way
I've tripled the amount three times over
Don’t know where it’s taking me
Every day I fly just a little higher
I want to float forever
And leave this world behind
I travelled long and windy roads
The more I see the more I fear
There’s only one thing in this world
That makes everything crystal clear
I’ll keep the earth below
Drifting through eternity

Wild Thing lyrics - Chimaira

[USB Bonus Track]

Wild thing, I think I love you
But I want to know for sure
Come on and hold me tight I love you
Wild thing you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy wild thing

Wild thing, I think you move me
But I want to know for sure
So come on and hold me tight you move me
Wild thing you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy wild thing

"Infection" (2009)




The Venom Inside lyrics - Chimaira

The venom inside.
Turned me into the enemy
Turned into what I hate
My apathy got the best of me
Blood boiled and lost my way

I never thought I'd be the one to blame
Have to live with constant shame
Everything that I put inside
Just to feel numb

I tried to escape
push it away
tried to hide
The venom inside

I tried to escape
push it away
tried to hide
The venom inside

This was nothing but moral abuse
Guess I just needed something new
What could I gain from solitude?
Or acting like a fool?

I tried to escape
push it away
tried to hide
The venom inside

I tried to escape
push it away
tried to hide
The venom inside

Disconnected, Apathetic
It's so pathetic to be this frantic
I needed help! I needed help!
Like methadone for an addict

I tried to escape
push it away
tried to hide
The venom inside

Frozen In Time lyrics - Chimaira

Suspicion growing
A feeling I cannot control
Communication
Communication low
The invasion is necessary
The dangers are secondary

This was never meant to be
A lifetime of instability
I guess I was weak
Someone please rescue me

Frozen in time
Can't control what's inside of me
Frozen in time
I left my soul behind
I'm at the end of the line
Trapped in my mind
Empty and blind

I see myself dying
All these paranoid delusions frighten me
Manipulating vitality
An unspeakable evil latches on to agony

Attacking my body impurity spreading through me
Like a parasite
Desensitized to the world while the plagues controlling
Like a fucking parasite

The same demons keep haunting
Sending their warning
It's unrelenting

This was never meant to be
A lifetime of instability
I guess I was weak
October the leaves buried me

Frozen in time
Can't control what's inside of me
Frozen in time
I left my soul behind
I'm at the end of the line
Trapped in my mind
Empty and blind

Coming Alive lyrics - Chimaira

There was a time I was afraid
Of getting close to you
Your potency was quite threatening
Fiber pure, touching scars
Feels good to finally hold you

It was my mistake
For not trusting you
It was my mistake
Well this is now

I'm no longer afraid
I'm coming alive
And no one can take it away
I'm coming alive

Unbelievable force
When you're close to my lips
When feeling the intensity you give me
I adore you
And always will
Psychoactive and delicate

It was my mistake
For not trusting you
It was my mistake
Well this is now

I'm no longer afraid
I'm coming alive
And no one can take it away
I'm coming alive

You saved me from these nightmares
You took control of me
You saved me from this heartache
And never judged me

Secrets Of The Dead lyrics - Chimaira

Faceless, subhuman
Shattered souls I feed
Experimenting
Dead eyes watching me

Bow down
Sheep to the slaughter
Bow down
Follow the creator
Into the path of the unknown
Where they must walk alone

The unholy are lifeless
Sunken eyes dripping black
The secrets of the dead

Hopeless, disgusting
Pathetic human beings
Annihilation
Of what you believe

Now you will bow down
Sheep to the slaughter
Bow down
Follow the creator
Into the path of the unknown
Where they must walk alone

The unholy are lifeless
Sunken eyes dripping black
The secrets of the dead

Take control of my every thing
Killing them systematically
My power is growing
Their blood is flowing

The unholy are lifeless
Sunken eyes dripping black
The secrets of the dead
They keep calling me back
They keep calling me back
They keep calling me back

The Disappearing Sun lyrics - Chimaira

This might be the last time you see me
But you can trust I did my best
As complex as all this seems
It's much more than a test

The sky is falling
The end is here
The final warning
The sun disappears

As my world is dying
So far from home
Been stranded in this empty abyss
Darkness surrounds me
Lifeless

The sky is falling
The end is here
The final warning
The sun disappears

Existence
Search for a new beginning
Persistent
Something always chasing me
This demon's covered in scars
Menacing
Burnt by the sun his flesh charred
Challenging, terrorizing, manipulating every single thought
As he closes in
My will must be strong
Or he'll stab you in the fucking back
I won't turn to dust

The sky is falling
The end is here
The final warning
The sun disappears

Impending Doom lyrics - Chimaira

Impending doom
Can't escape
Pitch black at the lake
The snow is falling can't escape
The evil approaches
Can't save you

[x2]
These problems don't have solutions
We're rotting inside this cell
Our bodies are like a prison
Only death will save us from this hell

Jagged stairs leading nowhere
The clock is staring at me
Running away from the pain
The evil approaches
No one to save me

These problems don't have solutions
We're rotting inside this cell
Our bodies are like a prison
Only death will save us from this hell

These problems don't have solutions
We're rotting inside this cell
Our bodies are like a prison
Only death will save us from this hell (from this hell)

Have you ever seen blood in the moonlight?
It appears quite black
Have you ever seen spiders crawling on the grave (on the grave)?

The grave that gave
The grave that gave us fear of loneliness
That turned us into hellions
We're like slugs in the sun
Tearing us apart

[x2]
These problems don't have solutions
We're rotting inside this cell
Our bodies are like a prison
Only death will save us from this hell

Only death will save us from this hell

On Broken Glass lyrics - Chimaira

It's just another sleepless night
The hunt is on
Looking for anything
To fill the void
Make me feel alive
Take me back to paradise

Cause I'm walking on broken glass
I should know good things never fucking last
The reflections of a shattered past
They keep me walking on broken glass

A thousand eyes focus
Here is your god
Which one will sacrifice
Their innocence tonight?
Don't think twice
Take me back to paradise

Cause I'm walking on broken glass
I should know good things never fucking last
The reflections of a shattered past
They keep me walking on broken glass

The nameless walking with their guide
For a chance to meet their god
And it just won't stop

Can't describe this satisfaction
Can't control the chain reaction
I employ you to fulfill this creed
Insensitive
On flesh I feed
Welcome to my hell

Make me feel alive
Take me back to paradise
Cause I'm walking on broken glass
I should know good things never fucking last
The reflections of a shattered past
They keep me walking on broken glass

Destroy And Dominate lyrics - Chimaira

I am the bastard son
The expendable one
War is in my blood
Rage is in my heart
The lone wolf inside me
No home, no family
Just wanted serenity
But you pushed
You pushed me
You pushed me
The lone wolf inside me
Needs to be set free

One by one I'll crush you all
Day by day destroy and dominate
Blood
Blood for blood
Destroy, destroy and dominate

Rejected by society
The same one that created me
And I don't care what you say anymore
I am no longer your slave
The lone wolf inside me
Has finally been set free

One by one I'll crush you all
Day by day destroy and dominate
Blood
Blood for blood
Destroy, destroy and dominate

Dominate.

One by one I'll crush you all
Day by day destroy and dominate
Blood
Blood for blood
Destroy, destroy and dominate

Try To Survive lyrics - Chimaira

A new day arises
As the city sleeps
No compromising
No promises to keep

We stand on our own again
The rain falls hard
Revealing the memories
Ten years gone

We stand on our own again
The rain falls hard
Revealing the memories
Ten years gone

The life we share
Doesn't mean anything
If we don't try to survive

Visions overloading
Pulling me through time
Back to the moment
When I realized
That our demise
Could have been caused by my hand

Been through just about everything
But we're still here
We still have much to prove
To ourselves

The life we share
Doesn't mean anything
If we don't try to survive

There is so much left for us to do
Will you join me again?
I know I haven't been reliable in the past
You have had a hard time figuring me out
But I can promise you one thing
The journey's taught me to stand strong
Never again will I
Surrender my fears
Surrender my dreams
Surrender my soul
To the infection

The Heart Of It All (Instrumental) lyrics - Chimaira

[Instrumental]

Revenge lyrics - Chimaira

[Bonus track]

I'll bring the terror
Leave you trembling
You might as well give up
Like the chosen one
All my prophecies
Will come true
I am the face of fear
You can't stop this rampage

Revenge so sweet
Satisfaction watching the defeated
Something tells me
You're never going to live through this
So I'll keep haunting you until I get my revenge

You use to be brilliant
Now you're the victim
You're just a broken soul
You
Are jaded and condescending
You're wretched and diseased
And I saw it from the start

Slowly I'm waiting
Attacking and erasing you from me

Can't pull me under
I'll do what it takes to endure this
You're ignorant and overconfident
If you think I'll come back to you

Warpath lyrics - Chimaira

[Bonus track]

What the fuck am i doing here?
4,000 miles away
The night never comes
It's too bright to escape into darkness

It's bad enough that insomnia's crippled me
Now i have to deal with you?
Am i cursed?
Every time i leave home i am affected
But this time it's going to be different
I must know I'm going to go insane
The feeling of claustrophobia setting in

So now I'm on the warpath
Drawing from every lie that you said
This could turn into a bloodbath
It's time you feel my wrath
So now I'm on the warpath
Feeding off every word that you said
This could turn into a bloodbath
It's time you feel my wrath

Too scared to say what i feel
Too scared to walk away
I've seen this face before
Am i addicted to the damage you cause?

Chest so heavy i can barely breathe
I'm choking and for what
Mind is racing at 1,000 miles per hour
I just know i can't trust anyone
Is this paranoia or reality?
Throat closing tighter
Fuck this

So now I'm on the warpath
Drawing from every lie that you said
This could turn into a bloodbath
It's time you feel my wrath
So now I'm on the warpath
Feeding off every word that you said
This could turn into a bloodbath
It's time you feel my wrath

"Resurrection" (2007)




Resurrection lyrics - Chimaira

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 lyrics - Chimaira

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 lyrics - Chimaira

[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 lyrics - Chimaira

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 lyrics - Chimaira

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 lyrics - Chimaira

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 lyrics - Chimaira

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
That he'd see her
That he'd touch her
That he'd make his little girl scream out loud

[2x]
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
That 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 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 lyrics - Chimaira

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 lyrics - Chimaira

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 lyrics - Chimaira

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 lyrics - Chimaira

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 lyrics - Chimaira

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

i love to quiver shaking
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 lyrics - Chimaira

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.

"Chimaira" (2005)




Nothing Remains lyrics - Chimaira

I shout these words to those who never listened
I pen this letter with the utmost conviction
It's been dark in here, cold and relentless
It's been too long: I can no longer fight this

Too late to change my mind
Nothing remains
I've silenced the pain

All these years passed. No one heard my true feelings
You continued to act like you knew me
Did you ever stop to think that I'd be able
To look in your eyes and say that I'm stable

Too late to change my mind
Nothing remains
I've silenced the pain

Don't tell me, that I am taking the easy way out [2x]

No underlying message to figure out
What you got from me is what I put out [2x]

No one knew a thing about me
Just longing to be accepted
Wait 'til you see what I've become

My lifelessness [2x]

Too late to change my mind
Nothing remains
I've Silenced the pain

Save Ourselves lyrics - Chimaira

What a shame breaking down
What is getting the best of you
Take a breath, it's not complex
I'm going to put your mind at ease
Innocent people are not meant to suffer
We're making negative energy power
This will be our truth

Can you feel us, we're stronger
We prey on the weak and conquer
No longer care for those
Who try to condemn and oppose
We'll save ourselves

You're afraid that I'm right
I know it eats you up inside
Well listen to me and you will see
You have to let those fears fly free
The only danger in this world is to be
Weak-mind with insecurities
This won't be our truth

Can you feel us, we're stronger
We prey on the weak and conquer
No longer care for those
Who try to condemn and oppose
We'll save ourselves

Why do you fear every one of us
Why do you hate every one of us, you crush us
Why do we feel we are wasting our time
Go away, end this now
You need to get down off this cloud
Start focusing and listening
And feel it's the time to change things
When I'm alone, I don't feel hope less at all
The day must come where we can stand tall
And this will be our truth

Can you feel us, we're stronger
We prey on the weak and conquer
No longer care for those
Who try to condemn and oppose
We'll save ourselves

Inside The Horror lyrics - Chimaira

A blank Expression
Pale eyes wide cocked back
The sheer stagnation
Shame to all who thought this an act
The best years of this life
Felt wasted protecting a secret
Insecurities fed on like a rat

Depression
True fears of dependency
Affliction
The scars on such a fragile little body
Look
Take a look inside the horror
Take a look inside
Visualize the horrors inside

Burning sensation
To live just one day
In pure Elation
Blame the ones who took this way
Can't provide safety from
Monsters trapped within the mind

Depression
True fears of dependency
Affliction
The scars on such a fragile little body
Look
Take a look inside the horror
Take a look inside
Visualize the horrors inside

Shake the hand of god
As the blade moves closer
The reflection is brighter than the sun
The perception becomes weaker
The sun starts to fade away
The blank expression on the blade
Skin calloused yet easy to pierce
On he floor, blood mixed with... tears

Look
Take a look inside the horror
Take a look inside
Visualize the horrors inside

Shake the hand of god
As the blade moves closer
The reflection is brighter than the sun
The perception becomes weaker

Salvation lyrics - Chimaira

Endless nights filled with misery
Sick of familiar patterns
Bruise after cut
Can't wash away my scars

This is a night of... salvation (salvation)
One the night of salvation (salvation)

This life always pained me
Tired of the same routine
All lies I've told
Can't hide the little things

This is a night of... salvation(salvation)
One the night of salvation(salvation)
Life has been left behind me
I will not cower away (cower away)

[x2]
Adrenaline stronger than ever
Feel it all come together

On the night of... salvation (salvation)
On the night of... salvation (salvation)
Life has been left behind me
I will not cower away (cower away)

(salvation)
(salvation)
(salvation)
(salvation)

Comatose lyrics - Chimaira

I am theconstant chill
I am the versatile one
I am the God you loved
I am the addiction
I am inside
I am the constant chill

That moves up and down your spine
I am the versatile one
That moves in and out your mind
I am the dark abyss
That haunts before your prayers
And I am the Nemesis
That haunts in your nightmares

You can feel when I inside you
And you know that
I controle you
I enslave you
I destroy you and I leave you comatose

I am the God you love
That moves in and out your veins
I am the addiction
That buries you in shame

You can feel when I inside you
And you know that
I controle you
I enslave you
I destroy you and I leave you comatose

I've wrapped these chains so tight
You can't break through
The smell of fear is so enticing
It's so inviting
There is nothing more that I love
Than to tear your apart

I am inside and you know that
I controle you
I enslave you
I destroy you and I leave you comatose

I've wrapped these chains so tight
You can't break through

I am theconstant chill
I am the versatile one
I am the God you loved
I am the addiction
I leave you comatose

Left For Dead lyrics - Chimaira

Greed has caused you to become a monster
Greed has caused you to become so cold
You said you loved him, then you put him away
"'Til death do us part" means nothing to you
Greed has caused you to betray your family
Greed has caused you to become so jaded
We've got some news for you, every dollar you save
Will cushion your pillows in hell
You act like we're we're blind, deaf and dumb
Betrayal has now left us numb
We're sorry we can't escape from
This choice now we all must succumb
He's been thrown away, left for dead

How could you choose money instead

Greed has caused you to become a monster
Greed has caused you to become so cold
You said you loved him, then you put him away
"'Til death do us part" means nothing to you
Greed has caused you to become so jaded
We've got some news for you, every dollar you save
Will cushion your pillows in hell
You act like we're we're blind, deaf and dumb
Betrayal has now left us numb
We're sorry we can't escape from
This choice now we all must succumb
He's been thrown away, left for dead

This is only father we're dead
Thrown away, left for dead
How could you choose money instead

We will never forget that you're the reason
This sadness has overwhelmed us
This grief is too much to bear
How can we look you in the eyes
How could you ruin his life
After all the years of joy he brought us
There's no "we" anymore
There's no "us" anymore

You will have to live your last days infamy
How could you do this
How could you choose to have him
Thrown away, left for dead
This is only father we've had
Thrown away, left for dead
How could you choose money instead

Everything You Love lyrics - Chimaira

Can't sleep with all this frustation, intoxication
I no longer have regret
So what if I cause hysteria, it's not my dilemma
I'm only here to inflict pain

I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumor, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day, I will retaliate

A thorn in my side for eight years
The man who sheds no tears
I am here to expose you
All of the poison that you take
All people you violate
Your faith can't save you now

I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumor, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day, I will retaliate

I am your family with the power
To end everything
Everything you love

You should be paranoid
I guess I no longer share this vision
I guess I have a new agenda
While you sink down into your hole
I am proud watching you lose control

[x2]
I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumor, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day

I am your family with the power
To end everything

Everything you want
Everything you feel
Everything you need
Everything you love

You love! [x3]

Bloodlust lyrics - Chimaira

Your true definition of me
Your idea that I'm real
All of this is an illusion
Even through you can feel

My touch and my eyes
They lie and they victimize
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through make you realize
I never wanted this world to be better
I always wanted this world to suffer
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity
Give me strength and define me
A blood lust, it's all I trust

No more boundaries to cross
There is nothing uncommon
Indifferent to the pain I've caused
This confession means nothing

My touch and my eyes
They lie and they victimize
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through make you realize
I never wanted this world to be better
I always wanted this world to suffer
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity
Give me strength and define me
A blood lust, it's all I trust

This demon cannot be hushed
These cowards will all be crushed
No longer will I hide from them
My ways are set in stone
Nobody Has ever known me
A life truly spent alone
Your true definition of me
Your idea that I'm real
All of this is an illusion
Even through you can feel

My touch and my eyes
They lie and they victimize
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through make you realize
I never wanted this world to be better
I always wanted this world to suffer
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity
Give me strength and define me
A blood lust, it's all I trust

Pray For All lyrics - Chimaira

Everything was perfect before I found my dream
You were the world to me
When I used to hate myself for trying
Now relying on you for direction seems so trite
Your attitude was quick to change when you thought
One minute might go by without being sought
Who do you think you are, manipulator
How did it get this far

I will make you pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray you're able to breath while I strangle you

I'll stop at nothing, don't doubt me
You've reined enough
The lies you've been telling me you've been caught
Your enemy is reality
Your fatal flaw, meeting me

I will make you pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray you're able to breath while I strangle you
Pray for all the lives you've ruined

Everyone you have betrayed will watch you burn
Everyone you have deceived will watch you burn
Everyone will watch you burn

I will make you pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray you're able to breath while I strangle you

Lazarus lyrics - Chimaira

Eleven five, ninety-four, six thirty, morning
Woke up panicked, sweating, with a mouth full of vomit
No idea what could be wrong
Blew it off as this illness was common
Went back to sleep, then the phone rings
Fell to the ground
As the news was haunting... haunting

Lazarus endend his life, ungodly sacrifice, no reason why

Eleven eight, ninety-four, six thirty evening
The first time we're seeing Lazarus unconscious
Dressed in the clothes he loved
Laid out with all of his favorites
The tears of so many friends
Looked around and this view was haunting... haunting

Lazarus endend his life, ungodly sacrifice, no reason why

Never had an explanation
Never had a chance to watch Lazarus rise
Never had a chance to thank him
Never had an explanation
Never had a chance to say goodbye

Lazarus endend his life, ungodly sacrifice, no reason why
Never had a chance to say goodbye

"The Impossibility Of Reason" (2003)




Cleansation lyrics - Chimaira

What do you expect from me
Will I ever be what you want me to be
Will I ever live up to your standards
Will you always look down on me
Maybe I'm not who you are
Maybe I want to be myself
Live the life I've always dreamed about
This is not your path to choose

Yes I taste it
Yes I breathe it
Yes I hate it
Yes I feel strain from
Our separation
But
This is my life, this is my life
My Cleansation
Our separation
This is my life, this is my life
It'd not yours anymore

Why did you insits on ruling
Why did you try and control
Why didn't you ever listen to me
Ignored me like a dog
Maybe I'm glad we're apart
Maybe I'm glad we don't speak anymore
I feel better now
Now that you're gone

The Impossibility Of Reason lyrics - Chimaira

You preach to me as if it matters
Never worrying about yourself
Or the wrong you've done
Think you know the way
Want me to follow you
Selfish lies you're set out to prove
So what if you had your faith
You should realize
Realize that you're already dead

You fall [4x]
You fall face down at the sight of yourself
No one to pick you up
Look what our lives have become

I steal from you as if it matters
No remorse to me
Or the shame to come
Thought I knew the way
Never followed you
No more time to lose, does it bother you
So what if I had my faith
You should realize
Realize that I'm already dead

I fall [4x]
I fall face down at the sight of myself
No one to pick me up
Look what our lives have become (become, become, become)

And that's why hell
Is the impossibility of reason

Pictures In The Gold Room lyrics - Chimaira

Dark room opens
No light for years
No way to find out
How long has it been

Screams heard from a distance
The shredding sounds of pain
Looking for reasons
Slowly becoming insane

Four eyes staring
Such evil eyes
Picturing them
No longer alive

Accidental
Unintentional
Years ago
There was loss of control
Constant horrific nightmares
Life turned into a deadly maze
The haunting sounds play on
No more bruised feelings

Can it shine through this
Will it ever shine
The pictures in the gold room

No Light
Can be this bright
Death is only a way
Desire and temptation
I lost you

False hope and rejection
Revenge and repercussion

Rejection, revenge, false hope
Repercussion fade to extinction

No way to explain
The blame has to be given
A wrongful accusation
Only stirs the rage
A fire that cannot be put out
Can only enjoy the insanity
To become the nightmares
Will end the dreams

Cold winter chills
No escape
Will this ever end
This is the final maze

Power Trip lyrics - Chimaira

Face to face
No time to waste
This is the time for revenge
Your claim to fame
Of crushing dreams
Your control has no hold on me

I hate the way
You have no shame
You act like nothing's happened
It's time to rise
The final fight
This is the last time

I will not fail again
I will not let you win
Fuck your power trip

I'll throw away
The wasted days
The chance for revenge
My claim for fame
Ended in vain
This was the last time

You are the one who's forsaken us all
Nothing has changed so together
We fall
I am the one who's led us to believe
You can't change me

Down Again lyrics - Chimaira

How many times can it change
How long will I be restrained
It's appalling to think that
All my time seems to be wasted
Will it stop or is it inly beginning

Here on the inside
My life is not over
I'm down again

Fake smiles surround me all day
No more can I tolerate
These excuses or all this
Constant pressure overloading
Make it stop the fire's always burning

Pure Hatred lyrics - Chimaira

I have told you things need to change
You never listened or came to my aid
The vicious cycle has not changed
My time's spent rearranged

Motherfuck it all
I can't stand this
Remember when I said
Everyone makes me sick
Well nothing has changed

I hate (I hate) everyone [x2]

This vicious cycle still remains
Constant clusterfuck, bloodstains
Ignorance, you kill for God
Expression not allowed

You fucked it up
With your motherfucking games
Remember when I said
I was so ashamed
Well nothing has changed
I hate (I hate) everyone [x2]
I hate [x2]

You have to
Pick and choose your fights
You have to
Come out of this alive

I have told you things need to change
You never listened or came to my aid
The vicious cycle still not changed
My judgment fades away

You'll never change me
Remember we are through
I am staying here
To betray all of you
And nothing will change

I hate (I hate) everyone [x4]
And I hate, and I hate EVERYONE!!

The Dehumanizing Process lyrics - Chimaira

Explode

Clear the way the new king has arrived
To take your place while I've got you on your knees
I always had this vision of who I'd become
A powerful giant who could rule with ease
And who would

Bring the truth
I will bring the truth
Your time is up-there's no chance left for you

Bring the truth
I will bring the truth
Your time is up as I end it for you

Was it me or were you just afraid
When you promised me nothing but a throne
When time comes you will hide the fact
That you will only be one way
A fake liar

You can try to hide
It will all come back to you
You shatter dreams before they're fully dreamt
You're a pig and should die
I would feel no remorse
I honestly absolutely fucking hate you
Hate you

You can't change this
The only thing you have to remember is

Bury my dreams... I will bury you

Crawl lyrics - Chimaira

As I lay this all to rest
Shadows appear reminding me
Of all things left unsaid by me

Maybe one day you'll believe
That I will crawl
I will crawl on broken knees

It's beyond what you really need
Forcing it all out of you
Will I make your life complete
Come Clean

Am I the sorrow
That you won't reap
Am I the secret
That you can't keep
Well I won't stop
Until I'm complete
And I won't stop
Until you believe
I won't stop until you need me

Stigmurder lyrics - Chimaira

Ever want to commit murder
Feel the rush as you kill
Looking into dead eyes
Collecting their last thoughts
Sometimes I feel no remorse
Sometimes I want a taste
Why am I so different
Than those who can just do it

I want to change what I've become
But I can't kill the urge
But I can't kill the urge
You are now mine forever
Walk with me one last time
You'll walk with me one last time

I feel you embracing
You wish it would end
I feel life for the first
Time I ever have

You cannot fuck with me
Like you have in the past
This time I will stop you
Dead in your fucking tracks
Your eyes close away
As I feel salvation
Now you pray
Light, the final vision
Your eyes are blank

I want to commit murder
Feel the rush as I kill
Looking into your eyes
Collecting your last thoughts
I never feel remorse
Now I want is taste
I know I'm not different
Then those who can just do it

I want to change what I've become
But I can't kill the urge
I can't kill the urge
You are now mine forever
Stigmurder

Eyes Of A Criminal lyrics - Chimaira

The rage has overcome
No more will I shun
These thoughts I've had
This lie I've lived
I let them put the blame on me
Engulfed in hate
Retaliate
You can't conceal these thoughts
You can't disguise this rage

You have
Overstepped
Your boundaries
Now I've got

I've got your back against the wall
Forever trapped
Staring though the eyes of a criminal

A broken home
Left alone
An excuse you used
Don't bullshit me
Save all the breath that you can breathe
Engulfed in flames
Incinerate
You can't conceal my thoughts
And you can't disguise my hate

Staring though my eyes

Overlooked lyrics - Chimaira

Closing comments made you wonder
What was the start of it all
Hunting to find the answers
Unavailing attempts to be me

Hey
Did we distract you
Did we prevent you
Did we bore you
Did we stop you

And I'm
Betrayed by you
Won't be overlooked by you
Betrayed
Betrayed

Hoped you were thinking of redemption
Found out you erased the memories
Erased the thought of me
How can I believe this untrue

I know I'm not insane

Come take a look in my eyes

Implements Of Destruction lyrics - Chimaira

[Instrumental]

Army Of Me lyrics - Chamaira

You can't
Understand I still have a lot to say
To you
Unfortunately it's not the time or place
My life
Upon my life there will always be lies
No more
I don't believe in this hypocrisy

You are
Parasitic bottom feeders
All you
Maggots one in the same, you all make me sick
Guilty
Especially you who justify your rational lives
Killing
You're killing in the name of God or country

Cowards and crooks
Surrounded by liars, killers and haters
Cowards and crooks
Surrounded by liars, killers and haters
Cowards and crooks
Surrounded by liars, killers and haters
Cowards and crooks
I'm surrounded by filth

Army of me
He lives in us all
Army of me
He will avenge me
Army of me
He lives in us all
Army of me
He will avenge me
He will avenge me

Cowards and crooks
Surrounded by liars, killers and haters
Cowards and crooks
Surrounded by liars, killers and haters
Cowards and crooks
Surrounded by liars, killers and haters
Cowards and crooks
I'm surrounded by filth

Army of me
He lives in us all
Army of me
He will avenge me

Army of me
He lives in us all
Army of me
He will avenge me

Stays The Same lyrics - Chimaira

You pretend to feel me..
You pretend to care about me..
(I will stay away from you)
This is my time to rise,
Never again will I fall for your lies.
This is my time to gain,
Nothing else will stay the same!
This is my time to rise,
Never again will I fall for your lies.
This is my time to gain,
Nothing else will stay the same!
You pretend to feel me..
You pretend to care about me..
(I will stay away from you)
(from you!)
(from you!)
This is my time to rise,
Never again will I fall for your lies.
This is my time to gain,
Nothing else will stay the same!
This is my time to rise,
Never again will I fall for your lies.
This is my time to gain,
Nothing else will stay the same!
This is my time to rise,
Never again will I fall for your lies.
This is my time to gain,
Nothing else will stay the same!
This is my time to rise,
Never again will I fall for your lies.
This is my time to gain,
Nothing else will stay the same!

WILL STAY THE SAME!
WILL STAY THE SAME!
NOTHING ELSE WILL STAY THE SAME!

Indifferent To Suffering lyrics - Chimaira

Unrelenting addiction
The struggle continues
The urge to satisfy isn't the question
Just don’t want to be around
To face the consequences
Fake smiles surround
To ensure the desire
As perverse as it seems, it stays
Who leads their waste of time?

Ever wondered what it’s like, to have dreams last forever
Never doing again, from the everlasting of them

Life feeds off life
Indifferent to suffering

Liars grow stronger
The taste is similar
To the sweetest kiss ever encountered
A painful bliss on my head
Picture painted (Painted)
Could not capture
An ounce of the true sensation
That is derived from some sorrow

Ever wondered what it’s like, to have nightmares last forever
Never doing again, from the constant torture

Life feeds off life
Indifferent to suffering

How, how sweet it is
Sweet, how sweet it is
It, beyond this life
Is, beyond this life

How sweet it is

Life feeds off life
Indifferent to suffering

Without Moral Restraint lyrics - Chimaira

I see what is fake
What is real I'll never know
Can't you see I'm just a disease
Free fall faking over human emotion and all round and I'll Never see you
Never been me
But it's my round to say
It's my round to feel
I can't take a face to your hate anymore
now I lose control sticking it back to you

I'm not the only one
Without moral restraint

I can't image why you would send a force
Send a force up above me thrown down
Never know what I'm up to do you?
Can't you see my lies?
Can't you see through this disguise?
It's my round to say, it's my round to say
I'll never know what the difference is
Is it hell, is it earth?
Is it hell, is it earth?

I'm not the only one
without moral restraint

I'm not the only one
without moral restraint

See me twist, and time come along
Is it my time to make up your soul?
Is it my turn to make up your soul?
Can't keep giving back to you
I keep giving it back to you

Keep giving it back to you [x3]
Never ever say could

I'm not the only one [x7]
without moral restraint

Fascination Street lyrics - Chimaira

[The Cure cover]

Oh it's opening time
Down on Fascination Street
So let's cut the conversation
And get out for a bit
Because I feel it all fading and paling
And I'm begging
To drag you down with me
To kick the last nail in
Yeah! I like you in that
Like I like you to scream
But if you open your mouth
Then I can't be responsible
For quite what goes in
Or to care what comes out
So just pull on your hair
Just pull on your pout
And let's move to the beat
Like we know that it's over
If you slip going under
Slip over my shoulder
So just pull on your face
Just pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time
Down on Fascination Street

So pull on your hair
Pull on your pout
Cut the conversation
Just open your mouth
Pull on your face
Pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time
Down on Fascination Street

Let Go (DEMO) lyrics - Chimaira

My scabs are almost picked
Slowly growing into this
Feelings I just can't let go
I am such a bore, you need that much more
Go back that way and see what you get from me then
Nothing at all
My dead hands rise

Why am I this way?
Face my past I can't let go

I see them in the jel
Laughing at me it is hell
Nothing can stop this torture
Fake my way through life
Call on me, my wife
Went back that way and I saw just what I was worth
Nothing at all
My dead hands rise

Why am I this way?
Face my past I can't let go

I won't take no for an answer

You fucked me, bitch
You can't fuck with me

I won't take no for an answer

My scabs are almost picked
Slowly growing into this
Feelings I just can't let go
I am such a bore, you need that much more
Go back that way and see what you get from me then

Why am I this way?
Face my past I can't let go

Pass Out Of Existence (DEMO) lyrics - Chimaira

Oh I'm that sick I see it that way
I'd rather be dead then have you stay
You pretend that it's OK
Right now it's my time to take
Feeding off my hate today
Feeding off the lives I waste
Now it's time to change my ways
Now it's time to erase my name

Can't see my face
You can't see my face now
Pass out of existence

Gone!

Disgusted by your presence now
I wonder what it would be like if you were down
Could you cope? Could you really cope?
Could you hope? Or would you sit and wait for me?
Seeking for my placement now
Seeking for my placement now
Now it's time to change my ways
Now it's time to erase my name

Can't see my face
You can't see my face now
Pass out of existence

Never wanted you to disappear
You wanted me dead... GONE!

Severed (DEMO) lyrics - Chimaira

Stay awake to decide
Are you coming back?
Is this my santity?
I can't forgive
Oh is it the same to me?
I can't take your place
I'll never see you, never flee from me

Severed

Lost lies in the house I bring
I can't fucking see
I can never pull your self from me
I can't focus
Libertine my "said to be"
I will never save you
Wait...

Severed

Forced Life (DEMO) lyrics - Chimaira

Images still in my head of you dead
I wish I could take them away instead
I sit in my room alone and cry over my loss
Will anything ever be the same?
I wish I could imagine you happy
A life of ecstasy that would be good enough to stop the pain that lingers
In my heart I know I would be content
YEAH! It's your forced life
It's your forced life... It's your forced life...
doesn't it feel the same to you?

I sit and wonder
While you ponder of pathetic items that bring you happiness
Those things that put a smile to your face
Are the things that kill me inside
I know deep down you have a good heart
But why am I never included in all of this?
I take you in...rise you up, yet my soul stays untouched?

YEAH! It's your forced life
It's your forced life...It's your forced life...
doesn't it feel the same to you?

I take you in...rise you up, yet my soul stays untouched?

Nothing ever changes in your mind

YEAH! It's your forced life
It's your forced life...It's your forced life...
doesn't it feel the same today?

Nothing ever changes

YEAH! It's your forced life
It's your forced life...It's your forced life...

Stick your hate to me
I'll find a way to break free

Dead Inside (DEMO) lyrics - Chimaira

I felt so alone...

You left feeling so empty and needing
Can't see the glitter in you (go away, go away)
You called me all the time
Hiding behind your lies materialistic
Go away

You don't know what it's like to be dead inside

You called him a friend to help you get through it
I see your true face now(go away, go away)
Well my tears are gone, I am happy now
Thanks for making it clear
Go away

You don't know what it's like to be dead inside

I am dead to you
You take my heart and used it as a tool
I wish that this would just go away
You can't find love you can't cry tears
And you won't be crying alone

(Dead inside)
Who are you today...another face erased

Dead inside!

Power Trip (LIVE) lyrics - Chimaira

Face to face
No time to waste
This is the time for revenge
Your claim to fame
Of crushing dreams
Your control has no hold on me

I hate the way
You have no shame
You act like nothing's happened
It's time to rise
The final fight
This is the last time

I will not fail again
I will not let you win
Fuck your power trip

I'll throw away
The wasted days
The chance for revenge
My claim for fame
Ended in vain
This was the last time

I will not fail again
I will not let you win
Fuck your power trip

You are the one who's forsaken us all
Nothing has changed so together We fall
I am the one who's led us to believe
You can't change me

I will not fail again
I will not let you win
Fuck your power trip

Fuck your power trip!

Cleansation (LIVE) lyrics - Chimaira

What do you expect from me
Will I ever be what you want me to be
Will I ever live up to your standards
Will you always look down on me
Maybe I'm not who you are
Maybe I want to be myself
Live the life I've always dreamed about
This is not your path to choose

Yes I taste it
Yes I breathe it
Yes I hate it
Yes I feel strain from
Our separation
But
This is my life, this is my life
My Cleansation
Our separation
This is my life, this is my life
It's not yours anymore

Why did you insist on ruling
Why did you try and control
Why didn't you ever listen to me
Ignored me like a dog
Maybe I'm glad we're apart
Maybe I'm glad we don't speak anymore
I feel better now
Now that you're gone

Yes I taste it
Yes I breathe it
Yes I hate it
Yes I feel strain from
Our separation
But
This is my life, this is my life
My Cleansation
Our separation
This is my life, this is my life
It's not yours anymore

Lumps lyrics - Chimaira

I feel as if I have been dreaming
I am confused as to how I got here
One minute
I am heading down a path of destruction with no hopes but for death
Then there was you
You opened me to a different light
The path you lead me down was priceless
With one quick glance it was stripped from me
I was so ashamed I never let you be you
I have been puking with regret
I found myself again
And although we were apart
I managed to move on
Something was still missing
I made me sick
Far to familiar
I needed you once again, maybe now I can change
Maybe now I can secure my lumps

Pass Out Of Existence lyrics - Chimaira

Oh I'm that sick I see it that way

Feeding off my hate today
Feeding off the lives I waste
Now it's time to change my ways
Now it's time to erase my name
Can't see my face
You can't see my face now
Pass out of existence
Gone
Disgusted by your presence now
I wonder what it would be like if you were down
Could you cope? Could you really cope?
Could you hope? Or would you sit and wait for me?
Seeking for my placement now
Seeking for my placement now
Now it's time to change my ways
Now it's time to erase my name
Can't see my face
You can't see my face now
Pass out of existence
When I close my eyes
I see myself dead
I know you want it this way don't you?
When I close my eyes
I see myself
Dead...gone now

Abeo lyrics - Chimaira

Sp lit lyrics - Chimaira

Late night comes are you home? No you're not You're out with urge to satisfy yourself it's your vicious plot Looking back I realize that it's my fault I'm not around so your love comes to a halt You have no remorse in you It's the only thing you know You destroy me every time you little cunt I never wanted this Gave myself to you to get paid back with lies Every time I trust you I lose in the end I feel disgust in myself I love how you can call me and pretend you're innocent While I'm out here trying to better myself You're a pig when it comes to my emotions You drown me in your wake because you have no devotion You have no remorse in you It's the only thing you know You destroy me every time you little cunt I never wanted this Gave myself to you to get paid back with lies Every time I trust you I lose in the end

Painting The White To Grey lyrics - Chimaira

Face I am nothing face
Complete by sarcastic tastes
What a waste I think I'd rather die
Wanting never gaining I find myself pondering life
Always situations I can never hide
Crying tears of anger, hate
Depressed I never know the me, never know what to do
Slit pour out the life a bottle of the "vive"
A desperate cry for something else to justify
I'm in a daze caused by pain
A failing force that wants to change
Painting the white to grey
Numb body shivering
Blood dripping from the skin
Painting the white to grey
Plastic always drastic
A vision of a psychopathic with a razor crawling through the attic
I know somewhere out there someone cares
Wanting me to get my head out of the clouds as they think it's time repair
These scars will never clear
I'll never be the same little one with hopes of one day maybe being sane
I might have tried before...but I locked the door
Now I need a reason to unlock it
I'm in a daze caused by pain
A failing force that wants to change
Painting the white to grey
Numb body shivering
Blood dripping from the skin
Painting the white to grey
Cutting and popping
I know I'm not the definition of your model I'm always dropping
Lying and crying
I rarely find the relevance in always competing or trying...
I take dying
I need to feel the shame in what it was that I did
Cold
In the back of a puppeteer bathroom floor is where I tried to die

Taste My..... lyrics - Chimaira

Fall into my hole
I keep seeking
Is there anything left to consume now?
I wish I were happy living in
Living in your perfect world
You were never understanding enough
You were never supportive of me
Now I run away from you
Now I hide all this pain
Can you taste my tears on you?
Now where do I see myself?
Stagnation from my own selfish thoughts
Should I work to achieve my goals or should I work to leave you be or
should I work to keep you home?
You were never understanding enough
You were never supportive of me
Now I run away from you
Now I hide all this pain
Can you taste my tears on you?
May guns rise to kill me

Rizzo lyrics - Chimaira

Pull up your car you're home from the night on the town
Could not find anyone to go home with to show off your insecurity
So you put your "I love you face" back on
When you are this way you think you are God
But the people around you are destroyed
Coming home getting off by killing who you love
I hope you end up in a body bag
Walk up to your room to be with your lover
Although they don't share your desire
That night frustrated and intoxicated
You need to leech onto another
When you are this way you think you are God
But the people around you are destroyed
Coming home getting off by killing who you love
I hope you end up in a body bag
Pretend you are the king
One day this will all come back to you
One day your child will be a man
