[Verse 1]

Won't walk the Earth a specter

Won't hold my tongue from lashing out

This is my writ of honor

Drawn by the blood that I have shed

The beasts will soon assemble (The beasts will soon assemble)

Conjoining in their putrid flesh

Their hearts don't beat desire

They pump violence and poison


[Pre-Chorus]

Flesh opens up

Blood's retreating

Flesh opens up

Blood's retreating

Death's embracing

All is ending

Death's embracing

All is ending


[Chorus]

Time will not heal all of your pain

I cannot wait for it all to come crashing down


[Verse 2]

The monsters walk among us (The monsters walk among us)

Leeching the blood out from what's good

Infecting at transmission

Swallowing innocence from life

Our time has come to stand forth (Our time has come to stand forth)

The wretched womb from which they feed

Behold the loathsome demons

Send them into the hell they made


[Pre-Chorus]

Flesh opens up

Blood's retreating

Flesh opens up

Blood's retreating

Death's embracing

All is ending

Death's embracing

All is ending


[Chorus]

Time will not heal all of your pain

I cannot wait for it all to come crashing

Down on your face, ripping your veins out

Your insides rend and kill you from within


[Verse 3]

And the seas will rise as serpents

Spawned from the mouth of Earth's surface

Soon the skies will fall fast, burning

Open wide and eat the suffering


[Bridge]

The pulse is now quickening

Softly, it's painstaking

Look within to calm the storm

Raging inside the form

There's no turning back

For I'm witness to the changing

Take all you have brought to sacrifice

For you will lose much more

If you succeed in this battle

You still will lose so much more


[Guitar Solo]


[Bridge]

The pulse is now quickening

Softly, it's painstaking

Look within to calm the storm

Raging inside the form

There's no turning back

For I'm witness to the changing

Take all you have brought to sacrifice

For you will lose much more

If you succeed in this battle

You still will lose so much more


[Refrain]

Time has come to face all evil

Time has come to face all evil

Time has come to face all evil

Time has come to face all evil


[Verse 4]

Now the seas rise up as serpents

Spawned from the mouth of Earth's surface

As the skies now fall fast burning

Open wide and face the suffering


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 5]

The inferno spews out hell's horde

Casting the flames upon our world

As death eclipses all the light

We make our last stand, 'til death: fight


[Instrumental Break]


[Chorus]

Time will not heal all of your pain

I cannot wait for it all to come crashing down

Time will not heal all of your pain

I cannot wait for it all to come crashing

Down on your face, ripping your veins out

Your insides rend and kill you from within
