The Resurrectionist

I am The Resurrectionist
I work alone at night I got you on my list
So, if you find that you are lost
I’ll dig you up and wash you off
[Chorus]
Don’t give up, your trip is incomplete
You got a long time left to go
Use your eyes and see what’s at your feet
Take a grab and don’t let go
You’re in the dirt and with the worms
But I can show you Honey, a brand new world
So, take my hand up from the grave
The pain inside you dear will make for even trade
[Chorus]
It’s not black magic that I use
Oh but the power of love I will give to you
So when you need your faith restored
I am the man inside your needs are looking for
[Chorus]

Minaret
04:30
|
|||
Coalition’s haunting you; spilling blood to make the news
Disconnects your humanity train them all for catastrophe
Elders in their Mercedes Benz, plastic bombs that’ll make the end
Hot sand flowing in your veins, to make the pain of the war remain
Oh hatred finds you, ' Trapped in the Minaret”
Desert storm inside you, “Trapped in the Minaret”
Scorpion in a winters feast, fighting for supremacy
Prophets lips that motion slow,
Speak the truth that the blood has sown
From the rock messiahs leap, into their dark eternity
Never knowing of their work, of suicides and a martyrs words
Oh hatred finds you, ' Trapped in the Minaret”
Desert storm inside you, “Trapped in the Minaret”
Ancient words can blind you, “Trapped in the Minaret”
Burning lives can guide you.
From the grave for the pocket change
The more you bleed the more it stays the same
M16 to serenade
A future war already made
Banners black and flying high
To be shot down and crucified
So alone and from the sand
To make a home of the wasted land

Momento Mori
05:57
|
|||
Make your mark with words or song
Make your way into the storm
Hold your head above the din
Keep the light that lives within
Leave your name in written past
Feel the beat of history’s dance
Keep your faith when crosses burn
Love the ones that love returns
[Chorus]
There is a time for ghosts
There is a time for us
There is a time to live
Momento Mori
Shout your name in to the wind
Get back up and fall again
Drink your fill the lavish feast
Taste the fruit that’s at your feet
Make your mark with words or song
Make your way in to the storm
Keep your faith when crosses burn
Love the ones that love returns
[Chorus]

City of Dead Echoes
05:44
|
|||
All the ghosts of men who burned the city
Trapped amongst the wrecks of war made hell
Drifting aimlessly through the ashes
Stories only shades of bombs that fell
They’re calling out to me forever wanting
Tanks have left their tracks on to the sand
Skeletons of dreams are my movement
And memories of me with little chance
[Chorus]
Where the atomic wind blows
I live in the City of Dead Echoes
Songs only phantoms can know
They cry in the City of Dead Echoes
Wandering the fields of this nightmare
Dodging all the wolves that make it home
Longing for the light of the living
But only by grenades of stories told
[Chorus]

Where the atomic wind blows

Fool (Reactor Gone Bad)
04:34
|
|||
I'm not a fool, for cutting in line
Just like the camera man at the scene of the crime
Mouth to a flame, I know it will hurt
Through all those countless scars and the bridges I’ve burned
But something inside me, a reactor gone bad
Like Fukushima in the hands of the mad
Something scary about being bad
It’s the life you could never have
Help myself to the way I live
Another fool, on a sinking ship
I hear the song, a long distant sound
Leads me to water in the hopes that I’ll drown
On the horizon, I see the lights
Just like the circus clowns we are drawn to the night
drawn to the night
drawn to the night

Jericho Trumpets

Something in the sound of night
A warning for you to hear
No matter where you run and go
It is always there, and oh so near
You know the train, a broken wreck
Holding on amongst the raging world
Billboards of calamity, a one way road
of empty words
A serpent for a messenger
The words are sweet and sour to your taste
The business end of falling deals
Clearly it’s the life you love to chase
The water from the spoiled well
Looking down you see your weathered face
Twisting in the inky black
Folded in your cage of no escape
Bridge
Something mad in your mind and you cannot let go
when everybody around, can see that you are exposed
But you go on instead, falling right in the hole
That you cannot climb out, no matter how much you know
So in the city of fire and it’s all that you know
You’re just a shadow for hire, with a dream you let go
A token of love, bore these stiches of faith
And you keep hanging on because it’s never too late
All your sweat and regret, and the money you burn
Hard habit to break, because you'll never learn
I said alone on the road, and with a dying sunset
See the stars never show until the darkness descends.
Knowing you’re the mark
They intend to collect
Runaway to save yourself
But ending up once again entrapped
Swimming for the shallow end
Try your luck to reach the other side
A distant shore it seems to be,
Because of endless tides.

Nazca Lines
05:45
|
|||
In this garden, of bones and blood
See this light that hangs above
We are the riders of the veil, Distant galaxies we've sailed
We have found you in the blue, A cosmic treasure to be true
Unbeknownst but understood
They can speak with lips unmoved
We've come among you from the stars, Strangers traveled from afar
We have landed in your heat, By the lines you've made complete
[Chorus] The desert’s where you'll find, Broken rocks and Nazca lines
With golden hands, they raise us up
Teach us from the dirt and mud
We will help you if we can, Your mind is far to understand
But mistake us for your god, It’s only life with years apart
[Chorus] The desert’s where you'll find, Broken rocks and Nazca lines
The third one from the sun, Nazca lines will guide us home
Mod..solo...
We are the riders of the veil, Distant galaxies we've sailed
We have found you in the blue, A cosmic treasure to be true
[Chorus 2x] The desert’s where you'll find, Broken rocks and Nazca lines
The third one from the sun, Nazca lines will guide us home

Crisis Suite
04:22
|
|||
Blood has spilled in your Crisis Suite never get the stain up off the floor
The broken boys that you keep on ice will give you comfort for ever more
You keep your love in cryogenic sleep you’re waiting for the master plan
But now ‘til then you’ll play the viper’s game while toasting drinks to all your sins
Whoa ooo whoa
The door man smiles as they make their way up to the stairs and for her stars
But what they find is a burned out room where no emotions can survive
Another night in your Crisis Suite another victim to the wolves
You pen you thoughts then a sip of wine you’ve grown accustomed to all the cold
[Chorus]
Because rent, you’ll pay
Your heart, betrayed
The same old day, in your Crisis Suite
Because rent, you’ll pay
Your heart, betrayed
The same old day, C’mon
Rent
Your heart
The same

Can't Flash Back
04:57
|
|||
You say you’re pining for the past and wish it could have last
Like a busted Barbie doll and a phone you cannot call
A street that you once lived devoid of all the kids
Was there always this decay or was I blinded by the day
[Chorus]
You can’t flash back Well there’s nothing you can do
You can’t flash back You’re a song without a tune
You can’t flash back
Painted glass and boulevards broken piece of twisted art
A place that you once knew is a place that’s through with you
[Chorus]
A sky that’s not so blue a grey light that fills the room You can’t flash back
Colorless and bereaved of any stars to be seen You can’t flash back
But yet there’s something there a hint of your despair You can’t flash back
Familiar yet unknown and a house that’s not your home
You can’t flash back Well there’s nothing you can do
You can’t flash back You’re a song without a tune
You can’t flash back Well there’s nothing you can do
You can’t flash back You’re a song without a tune
You can’t flash back Can’t flash back Can’t flash back
You can’t flash back
You can’t flash back

Rain Shadow
04:30
|
|||
Something you find at the end of the road
Something broken in flames
With a carpenter’s skill, the wreckage you make
Constructing beautiful graves
Building the cross was a hobby of yours
Until the money came in
A fraction of time is all that it takes
To let the venom within
[Chorus]
See the Rain Shadow covering me
In dark tomorrow lost at sea
I hear the sirens out in the cold
Thundering voices begin to take hold
Broken from bones that make up your bed
A hole in which you can rest
Prevailing in thirst alone with the dogs
Survive the storm of the lost
[Chorus]

Queen's Appetite
05:43
|
|||
Her face is in the crowd, With shadows for her shroud
She reaches for you still, A grave she needs to fill
A phantom’s kiss you feel, Like an arm that isn’t real
You try to get away, From the flame that she creates
[Chorus]
Queen’s appetite
In the afterlife.
Never enough, for the queen of shadows
The voice you cannot use, Is like the wrong that chooses you
Footsteps that you hear, Is like the wolf that's drawing near
[Chorus]
Haunted by her ghost
in this broken house
A curse you cannot lift, she seals with a kiss
She’s a key you cannot turn, A truth you can’t unlearn
I'm a trophy on display, In this gilded cage
Queen’s appetite
In the afterlife.
Never enough,

Call Me Fritz
04:14
|
|||
I drank my fill of you, for my Eucharist
My broken body bends to comfort all my sins
Behind the looking glass, the relic always wins
I can’t escape the chain it has me pain in full
Release the curse inside and passed it on to you
And for the record I was just another fool.
A fool. A fool. A fool.
[Chorus]
It’s your god in black
There’s no going back
Contract you will fill
In your earthly will [2xs]
You want some good advice on how it can be used
That in the end you see it’s always using you
A common thread inside of horror coming through
A backward glance of life that you have always lived
A wish for words to weep on to the pain they give
A game of chance is when you over place the bid.
A bid. A bid. A bid.
[Chorus]
It’s your god in black
There’s no going back
Contract you will fill
In your earthly will [2xs]
