Hey, I have the lyrics for Life Cried's two albums ["Drawn And Quartered" (2006) and "Banished Psalms" (2009). If you wouldn't mind putting them on your website that'd be awesome. Thanks!




Drawn and Quartered



1. STALE


lying diseased as our time dies cold
through this tame, blind an corrupted soul
this shallow existence bleeds

your fate dries out before the lies unfold

i'm counting demons as they take my soul away

feeling comfort on the coldest night
still they all weep in sorrow
as Death smiles with delight


and all the world
before my eyes

and all the sorrow
stale insides


this is when your body bleeds and the mind goes numb
it's when it's laid to rest and everything is all gone
when you are begging please and finally alone

i'll tear my face, an existence gone

fading away as the symptoms die

this rage, disgust and anguished cries
my soul is full of hate
this life is full of pain

i'm counting demons as they take my soul away
feeling comfort on the coldest night
still they all weep in sorrow

as Death smiles with delight

and all the world

before my eyes
and all the sorrow
stale insides


this is when your body bleeds and the mind goes numb
it's when it's laid to rest and everything is all gone

when you are begging please and finally alone
i'll tear my face, an existence gone



2. HALLOWED BE THY NAME


our Father who art in heaven
hallowed be Thy name
dear father, what is my sentence

shallow be thy name

here in the dark there is no escaping

here in the dark lies pain
here in the dark your soul is worth taking
hallowed be thy name


our father who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name

dear father, what is my sentence
shallow be thy name


we are here to take you to afterlife
we are here cause god's insane
we are here to praise your sacrifice

why are we to blame

we are here to take you to afterlife

we are here cause god's insane
we have awoken to bring you back to life
have we lost our brains


here in the dark there is no escaping
here in the dark lies pain
here in the dark your soul is worth taking
hallowed be thy name




3. AS WE DECAY


lying deceived and in misery, away
rotting sense all in ignorance, away
scars open when cutting in, away
time to bleed as you feel the need


we will find no way out
we have survived but not this time
we will find no way out
we have survived but not this time


punished and beaten and torn inside
look to the sky no stars shine bright
gasping as your last breath fades away

punished and beaten and torn inside
there is no escape in the sacrifice

find that your are in the darkest place

as we decay

daylight meltdown or spellbound
existence is hellbound
incision for decision

your disease my prison

praise the agony, praise the misery
praise the agony, praise the misery
praise the agony, praise the misery
praise the agony, praise the misery


punished and beaten and torn inside
look to the sky no stars shine bright
gasping as your last breath fades away

punished and beaten and torn inside
there is no escape in the sacrifice
find that your are in the darkest place


as we decay
as we decay

forced bleeding for feeding
controlled manipulating
forbidden we are given

disgust not worth living
punished and beaten and torn inside
look to the sky no stars shine bright
gasping as your last breath fades away

punished and beaten and torn inside
there is no escape in the sacrifice

find that your are in the darkest place

as we decay
as we decay
as we decay
as we decay



4. LIVING HELL

conjure evil thoughts, we have paid the Reapers cost
inside we are dead and gone, the dying has just begun
consumed by sacrifice, we are paying with our life
why mourn what must be dead, which bleeds and bleeds again

hard to breathe in this living hell
i know it burns but it suits you well
they do not see what lies ahead
when sun has failed and moon is dead

close your eyes, everything is alright
close your eyes, everything is alright

hard to breathe in this living hell
i know it burns but it suits you well
they do not see what lies ahead
when sun has failed and moon is dead

consumed by sacrifice, we are paying with our life
why mourn what must be dead, which bleeds and bleeds again
conjure evil thoughts, we have paid the Reapers cost
inside we are dead and gone, the dying has just begun

hard to breathe in this living hell
i know it burns but it suits you well
they do not see what lies ahead
when sun has failed and moon is dead

close your eyes, everything is alright
close your eyes, everything is alright
everything is alright
close your eyes, everything is alright



5. RAGE (DYING EXISTENCE)

fall away dead to existence
so you cry and scream in pain
turn back this is not the way
infected lies burns desire of hate

from your rage, another one dies
this is the time
to feed the disease inside
the masses go blind
your corpse they find
just feed the disease inside

tainted nightmares is all we taste
imprisoned dreams of a fallen disgrace
inside the core of fading light
the mind feeds and the anger dies

rage, you died in the ash vault
you die alone
you died in the ash vault
you die

run away dead to existence
so you try and flee from pain
fall back this is not the way
infected lies burns desire of hate

from your rage, another one dies
this is the time
to feed the disease inside
the masses go blind
your corpse they find
just feed the disease inside
rage, you died in the ash vault
you die alone
you died in the ash vault
you die



6. GUARDIAN

another dead lay out in the mud
another victim, another blood
another dead lay out in the mud
a time of what once was

where is my guardian, where is my guardian
where is my guardian, where is my guardian
where is my guardian, where is my guardian
a time of what once was

another disease, destroying my life
controlling my rage, ripping my eyes

i hear the angels cry, i see you die
there will be no hope for your soul tonight

where is my guardian, where is my guardian
where is my guardian, where is my guardian
where is my guardian, where is my guardian
a time of what once was

i hear the angels cry, i see you die
there will be no hope for your soul tonight

i hear the angels, i hear the angels


7. BURNT TO ASHES

falling to my knees
i tried so hard to believe in You
mindset to free
all the demons that reside in You

burnt to ashes alive
and praying won't save
your existence in life
this time we are

burnt to ashes alive
and praying won't save
your existence in life
this time we are

scorch my eyes
its dead inside
burnt by lies
which crucify

burnt to ashes alive
and praying won't save
your existence in life
this time we are

falling into darkness
falling into darkness
falling into darkness
God, why do i fall every time?

scorch my eyes
its dead inside
burnt by lies
which crucify

scorch my eyes
not hard to find
burn me blind
its gray and dead inside


8. SACRILEGE

when i was scorned gone in rotten decay
there was no meaning but i found it that way in You
it's all for You

i worship dear God, oh my precious it's true
i have damned my existence and i give it all back to You
it's all for You

rest on the morning that the sun won't shine
when the end is near we'll leave the past behind
blessed for the calling is where you'll find
that you can't turn back once you cross the line

you won't wake on the morning when the gods decide
that the alter of man will meet with Deaths defiance and You
it's all for You

no hope for the wicked and the undesired
aside this sacrilege is where the weak are admired and You
it's all for You

rest on the morning that the sun won't shine
when the end is near we'll leave the past behind
blessed for the calling is where you'll find
that you can't turn back once you cross the line

sacrilege, you crossed the line

you won't wake on the morning that the sun won't shine
when the end is near we'll leave the past behind
blessed for the calling is where you'll find
that you can't turn back once you cross the line


9. WAITING FOR AN END

i never wanted, i never wanted
this to die, this to die
i never wanted, i never wanted
this life, this life
i never wanted you, i never wanted you
i tried, i tried
i never wanted, never wanted
no, i'll never get out

my belief going down
tearing through my insides out
find where the evil hides
another place where your body lies
force fed and seeping in
the fate we hold the end begins
construct a maze of doubt
embrace a world that throws you out

i never wanted, i never wanted
this to die, this to die
i never wanted, i never wanted
this life, this life
i never wanted you, i never wanted you
i tried, i tried
i never wanted, never wanted
no, i'll never get out

detach confinement, reflect in silence
disgrace our beings, a truth so violent
we will be fine, held in Death a while
wait for an end, welcome to MY world

i never wanted, i never wanted
this to die, this to die
i never wanted, i never wanted
this life, this life
i never wanted you, i never wanted you
i tried, i tried
i never wanted, never wanted
no, i'll never get out



10. DARKEST EYES

darkest eyes see the fading lines in you
fall to the breaking point in time
another place another thought of mind
in this abyss of lies

darkest eyes show the fading light from you
fall to the end of time
to much to ask to much to compromise
in this stretch of blind lies

weak minds align and take your soul away
weak minds aligned in pain

we come alone and take your soul away
we come a long, long way
to shed these tears an leave the past behind
fall in silence and break the mass of mind

become diseased in a long lost world
become diseased in any light of you
to find the answers that come tomorrow
i'll end tomorrow, dust to dust





Banished Psalms



1. Another Sacrifice

Another sacrifice

i wake up and i'm a slave to death
how will i die? how much time left?
now i pay for what i have done
how did this happen? what have i become?

i'm a slave, i am scum
what have i become?
i am pain, i am dead
just a plague to man

suffocation is what i deserve
i'd try to change but i'm being burnt
for my sins, but i was wrong
an innocent victim innocence won

my grave, my life
darkness turns to light
i believe, i confess
now my life is a mess


2. Bloodstained

sacred and solemn but it all goes to waste
i am following paths that take me to my dying place
belief in dead scripture so much could betray
i'm tearing it down, i will pray my own way

i could make up my own mind
or just be a slave and follow you
either way i will die
please don't dig my grave shallow
and are we what you despise?
all the blaspheme an pain but it's not my fault
and you can't see through this mess
because it's bloodstained yeah

now i know there is no tomorrow
now i know you better save me

i could make up my own mind
or just be a slave and follow you
either way i will die
please don't dig my grave shallow

3. Dressed In Filth

dressed in filth i fear you
dressed in filth i am near you
dressed in filth i see you
dressed in filth to please you
dressed in filth i feel you
dressed in filth i hear you
dressed in filth i see
you are dressed in filth for me
have you ever heard an ending like this before?
another tear to shed, but i want more

come to me but don't look inside
you might not like what you find
come to me but don't look inside
an don't come back until your tears have dried

will it fix me up?
can i make it stop?
i will smash it up
tear and bash it up

dressed in filth i fear you
dressed in filth i am near you

tear and bash it up

is this the way it is supposed to be?
this can't be the way it is supposed to be



4. Bound In Hate

hey is this what you want from me?
ohh that isn't enough now bleed
but i said no, but i said no this isn't what i want
no, am i that far gone? am i that far gone?
am i that far gone? am i that far gone?

trying to undo this belief that brought you unto me
as i wait in the ashes so patiently
the struggle to be freed, the times you left me
i will never be alone more peacefully

i take away what makes you strong
i feed the weak with what i want
and though i failed i still have learned
a new found me is who i serve

hey is this what you want from me?
ohh that isn't enough now bleed
but i said no, but i said no this isn't what i want
no, am i that far gone? am i that far gone?
am i that far gone? am i that far gone?

the beast is speaking the devils greeting
the beast is speaking the devils greeting

trying to undo this belief that brought you unto me
as i wait in the ashes so patiently
the struggle to be freed, the times you left me
i will never be alone more peacefully

i take away what makes you strong
i feed the weak with what i want
and though i failed i still have learned
a new found me is who i serve

trying to undo this belief that brought you unto me

i feed the weak with what i want
and though i failed i still have learned
a new found me is who i serve

the beast is speaking the devils greeting
the beast is speaking the devils greeting



5. Alone

(Instrumental)



6. Preacher

mourning in the ashes like dust upon the masses
in a world of which we once felt saved from
bind a false creation, blind manipulation
will the bodies rise like our fallen preacher?

slaves to the hand that feeds
and in tormenting our minds
we are crawling in ruins
ripped up inside

i've seen me insane
i felt my head fall
it took me to bleed
was it worth it all

slaves to the hand that feeds
and in tormenting our minds
we are crawling in ruins
ripped up inside

pray down on your knees this is the world you find
fate i have fallen too deep an won't get out alive
in the end there is no place to hide
i know somehow this is my demise

fate in these ruins, we're burning alive
in the ruins where you are defied

slaves to the hand that feeds
and in tormenting our minds
we are crawling in ruins
ripped up inside

i've seen me insane
i felt my head fall
it took me to bleed
was it worth it all

slaves to the hand that feeds
and in tormenting our minds
we are crawling in ruins
ripped up inside

pray down on your knees this is the world you find
fate i have fallen too deep an won't get out alive
in the end there is no place to hide
i know somehow this is my demise

preacher
preacher
in the end there is no place to hide
i know somehow this is my demise


7. More To Tarnish

it's my goodbye, i'm too gone this time
too hard to try, leave it all behind
never can i find a way out alive
here i can deny that i ever lived this life
listen to me, you will never believe
the only relief is only in my sleep
i just can't stay
i destroy everything that comes my way
today everything that comes my way

you left me far behind, i will leave you all behind
you left me far behind, i will leave you all behind

it's my goodbye, i'm too gone this time
too hard to try, leave it all behind
never can i find a way out alive
here i can deny that i ever lived this life

is it getting better or getting worse?
comfort is disaster, devils more diverse
i will take this pain and wake me up
stuck in this maze to break me up
i used to hate myself for what i have done
now i save myself from what went wrong

i destroy everything that comes my way


8. Procession Rigor Mortis

(Instrumental)



9. Solemn

crying, lying, bleeding, praying
can't undo the devils straining
this is what you want from me
this is where i fail

these demons are a part of me
bury me, i won't believe
a broken falling fallacy
a prison of this tragedy

dear god i can't save me from myself
i turn away but can you save me from this hell?
i'm falling down my punishment has begun
i slip away from a life that has come undone

Dear God I can't save me from myself
Can you save me from this hell?
My punishments begun
My life has come undone

crying, lying, bleeding, praying
can't undo the devils straining
this is what you want from me
this is where i fail

there is no savior, there is no cure
can't heal this pain, i'm so impure
is this the end or is there more?
i was already saved before i was born

dear god i can't save me from myself
i turn away but can you save me from this hell?
i'm falling down my punishment has begun
i slip away from a life that has come undone

a life that has come undone
a life that has come undone
life has come undone
my death has just begun


10. Forbidden

hate begins all reason dies
binding with no compromise
hiding from the pain inside
searching for a place to hide

time makes all the pain alive
find what sweeps it all aside
blind we'll rush our fate to rise
last we'll greet your world of lies

terminal rage despised mistake
fallen your fate i've lost my way
in a permanent raise of my mistakes
a chosen embrace of my last days

it bleeds my eyes, it bleeds my eyes
now dig your grave, you lived your life

when it all falls down, it's all so full of rage
when it all falls down

hate begins all reason dies
binding with no compromise
hiding from the pain inside
searching for a place to hide

time makes all the pain alive
find what sweeps it all aside
blind we'll rush our fate to rise
last we'll suffer just like Christ

terminal rage despised mistake
fallen your fate i've lost my way
in a permanent raise of my mistakes
a chosen embrace of my last days

today you see the wrath of life
in a dream still haunting you at night
and today you see the wrath of life
in a dream still haunting every time

you fight the disease but you're causing the war
you fight the disease but you're causing more

today you see the wrath of life
in a dream still haunting you at night
and today you see the wrath of life
in a dream still haunting every time


11. Derelict

(Instrumental)
