Story Behind the Song
This song came together extremely easy. Zakk had been playing with the opening riff for some time before we actually wrote the song. He and I were grooving to that first riff for a minute and everything else just fell together. Drums, Guitars, and Vocals were all first takes...
Lyrics
No response, no indication of life
Just a twitch in my eye; A skip in the mind
Harrowing regress; within the silent voice
The waves of anxiety asleep within the void
Torn away by the holy hand drag deep in my decay
Contort the reasons I struggle to display
Read between the lines, there's death in the fine print
Consumed by a body of sorrow I seek deliverance
The web of seduction, A chamber of the soul
Entombed within the veil of hate it seems to grow
Toeing toward the line, deception has a face
Shadows of the darkness dance upon my grave
Collapsing; Disease has swallowed whole
And tapped the veins of doubt, that pulse away so slow
Contaminate the winter, the rise of the dead sun
And rest within the eye of the storm, that hates to love
Torn away by the holy hand drag deep in my decay
Contort the reasons I struggle to display
Read between the lines, there's death in the fine print
Consumed by a body of sorrow I seek deliverance
The web of seduction, A chamber of the soul
Entombed within the veil of hate it seems to grow
Toeing toward the line, deception has a face
Shadows of the darkness dance upon my grave
(Zakk's Solo)
The church has brandished weapons to hail mary in her grace
The zen of desperation has come to claim his place
And evermore the rage is focusing its disdain
And cursed the river runs on the legs of our own plague
Torn away by the holy hand drag deep in my decay
Contort the reasons I struggle to display
Read between the lines, there's death in the fine print
Consumed by a body of sorrow I seek deliverance
The web of seduction, A chamber of the soul
Entombed within the veil of hate it seems to grow
Toeing toward the line, deception has a face
Shadows of the darkness dance upon my grave
These scenes that surround us, are written in our blood
Now we find the answer; Salvation in a Flood
