Haunted 05:24
I've been so foolish and naive To think that I'd be saved Drinking the wine you've soiled With your lies and false pretenses Innocence broken For one moment in time Frozen in my mind The grand blessing of the Divine You crept so viciously My heart was open Your intentions were always to take what was mine Spiraling down into oblivion My work here isn't done You don't deserve the grace of your God My death's a fleeting memory But you know I'm coming back for you I'd give everything So my sins could be erased But it's not His will Would you be afraid If I came back to haunt you From the depths of the grave The secrets in here The visions so clear They all kept me so near I thought I've seen your face Down the halls, watching me pray But yours is the one judgement that I can't escape Spiraling out of oblivion My work here isn't done I am bestowed with the grace of God Haunted By this burning vision Haunted His words are like poison Haunted Evil's planting its seed Haunted In him demons will breed

Doors standing in the sand Pathways to worlds I don't know And then we were, torn asunder Shadows and light you and I A thief then a beggar A liar then a king He's fucked up in his mind Black aura on the cards I read Of your future, of your disease With great expectation I speak Of the Drawing of the Three Coming forward From two places in time Falling backwards One body, two minds Looking through a shattered mirror This face that I don't know Draws me back to the Midworld Planets and stars, galaxies collide Portals are opened and I see the light And the dunes and the endless sea Black aura on the cards I read Of your future, of your disease With great expectation I speak Of the Drawing of the Three A thief then a beggar A liar then a king He's fucked up in his mind

Twisting and turning in my bed every night that I dream of a demonic twin Who tells me that I'll kill people in the name of our saviour He tells me in all honesty Destiny's a complex machine But I think even the angels can't withstand My pain and the blood that's in my hands I'm waking up to hear them mourning Singing in unison the angels's song / The killing sound Could be heard all the way to heaven And straight back to hell We won't be left behind With a single word we surrender our lives To remember the scorn and those words they would say The tears overflowing I can't stop thinking Your life's slowly fading away With one last whisper we merge with the grey Locked out from the world in a real-life purgatory We won't be left behind With a single word we surrender our lives We won't be left behind A barrier of sound is claiming our lives

In apprehension, With all due respect We sold our souls to the highest bidder Vain admiration in our eyes And all we wept were tears and ashes Verbose offerings to gods in silver towers Falling crashing Their failures dictate the fate of the world Unsung and relentless Our hope is like a thorn in their sidev We congregate in silence Words are unspoken so are the lies A world unconceived In a universe unseen A mind amidst the Titans Embodied in the darkness Sacred scriptures created to bind the masses A cornerstone we've laid to build empires Shadows of times past when the strongest heroes Were afraid of the phantoms of the earth They're hiding the stars in trails of satellites Letting them out one by one to keep us satisfied Deconstructing the fabric of our minds They hide and they speak in wavelengths Infiltrating our lives They hide and they speak in wavelengths

Coming in a new day with fright I take place under the faint lights The pain is real, empty I feel As they take me away I am begging for forgiveness I've been asking for truthfulness They've got something against me Something I can not see I feel the poison flowing In my veins slowly burning My spirit is quickly fading I feel the reaper coming I feel the poison flowing In my veins slowly burning My spirit is quickly fading I feel the reaper breathing I feel the fire, I feel the flames I'll be reborn from my glorious remains We are the ones who will judge We are united within the system We are the corrupted We feed on the demise of the innocent Am I really nothing ? Am I really dying ? Without no flaws, without no laws We stand before their freedom Without no flaws, without no laws We live beyond their freedom Am I really nothing ? Am I really dying ? I feel the poison flowing In my veins slowly burning My spirit is quickly fading I feel the reaper coming I feel the poison flowing In my veins slowly burning My spirit is quickly fading I feel the reaper breathing

I was second-to-none He trusted me with his life and all his secrets I was by his side on this night when he told me I had to burn Germany down to the ground and leave nothing for them to find Nothing to see but dust and ashes I am completely unable To bear with their sufferings I knew that we were responsible But I just didn't want to see it Tens of thousands on the Zeppelinfield Chanting loud and clear The glories of our slaughters Bathed in a symphony of searchlights Was all that was on our minds back in the time Was the good or the bad way no one could say But the record will show There has been redemption in the darkness The powers I've harnessed The truth I confess But not on my knees Let it be known for history's sake That I stood proud here today That I stood proud as a man repentant for his actions I am completely unable To bear with their sufferings I knew that we were responsible But I just didn't want to see it

Somewhere deep within The prisoner's trying to regret But he is unaware that Death overlooks with a blackened stare Waking up, drenched in sweat I cry (we cry) I'm reaching for air Was this a wicked dream Or a reflection of my reality Cause you're a fucking disaster And no one is searching for a way to end my nightmare Cause you're a fucking monster Everyone seeks to get you trapped in front of their crosshairs There's frost in the windows I'm burning with fever It's driving me insane There are ghosts in the shadows watching you, brother I'll help you get rid of this pain Dying alone inside this lonely cage I'm drowning in whispers Staring at the walls of this hollow lair I'm drowning in my fucking whispers Imagination is endless / suicide is painless Delusions brought me under My finger's pulling the trigger It won't be forever This tearing asunder Delusions brought me under My finger's pulling the trigger My world turns to black

Virgin Black 04:14
I can hear her cries from within the pyre Untold words pierce the conflagration Running through the trees she knows she has brought many men under her tombstone Her phantom runs forever so I loved her more than you'll ever know And burn she will as we can't keep on going like this When opposites attract, one takes the fall to avoid the worst Engraving one last spell under the town hall Let's make sure this witchhunt will be one they'll remember Running through the trees she knows she has brought many men under her tombstone Her phantom runs forever so I loved her more than you'll ever know Running through the trees, she goes She taught me a curse worthy of tombstones Her venom runs forever so She will hurt you more than you'll never know

Bloodwork 03:45
The air around you is clenching my throat so tight So blissful the revelation / poisonous is the salvation Bonded by the weakest ties of blood You're a threat for all those you've cared for Accepting the memories and then they're unclean Your death would be a bargain I'd be willing to break Never the one to partake in the efforts we have made To keep our heads above the foul waters of dismay I couldn't even fucking cry when I was told you might die The taste of blood is so sweet when I taste it off the edge of a knife No closure in sight, this part of me has died I've written this story without an end

With subtlety we divide the good from the bad We've never been this close before To unite with the stars on top of their silver towers They had stolen salvation when it meant they kill their own At the center of this controlled chaos The truth lies so deep, inexorable Dead to the world, parallel voices uniting Epicenter of rebellions Dead to the world, parallel voices uniting Crossing paths with the enemy Dead to the world parallel voices uniting with the voices of the damned Without a cause to call our own We lie on the fringe of desperation Looking for clarity in all the wrong places When they were riding the waves we created

Chameleon 04:00
Preaching the good words to a crowd who could give less of a fuck about utopias and never-ending dreams Basking in the glory of the lies you feed to us each and every day Vomiting the stench of false promises seems to be a profession these days Double standards and sellout heroes are the fuel of the crowds We are looking for answers but no more words will come out Channeling the very essence of our fall from grace Yet you seem to be satisfied with the remains of their feasts Screaming your discomfort only to bow down at their feet Constantly changing colours is the way to go to hide from things you don't want to see Transient and vague revolutions come and go like the change of the seasons We are looking for answers but no more words will come out of me Channeling the very essence of our fall from grace
12.
My mind was open wide and turned towards an infinity of men falling with the gavel Withering like the fading lights Oh and they flicker, they are dancing together You trap me in this throne, my time is ticking away but i still have so much say Please won't you listen to me What's done is done but nothing meant / Thank you for coming, enjoy the show You're just another one in a million and we don't mind throwing you away We're saving face, we repair our mistakes / With your blood, we'll cover the walls of our fortress I'll bear the burden of all those before me who stood their ground before you But I won't fail to show you for what you really are Smiling liars in slipknot neckties I'll remember clearly each of your faces laughing at me I will come back in time You'll see through the lies That they've been behind every wall every single time

about

Worth Dying For Québec

Worth Dying For was born more than 10 years ago in Québec, Canada, inspired by the likes of Soilwork, In Flames and Scar Symmetry.

“Chimaera”, mixed and mastered at BadAss Studio by Jef Fortin, is a three-headed beast harboring the dark and aggressive side of the band, destabilizing progressive elements and a touch of groove that should trigger the most focused headbanging.
