love is the fall of every man/ set your body ablaze

one of my favorite bands ever. ever since i saw them when chad was singing with them(the time the split w/ indecision came out), i loved them. when geert(sp) took over, it took me sometime to get into them again. but after talking to geert a few times in pittsburgh and cleveland shows i was back into them. always the nicest guys and my friend matt( dark day dawning) even played guitar with them. it was a good surprise to see him playing with them the last time i saw them in pittsburgh. these songs are my favorite. love is the fall of every man has been used by me a lot(email addresses xfallofeverymanx, s/ns and it is still my favorite quote). how can you not like a band that takes their names from the giant sandworms from dune. haha enjoy!


love is the fall of every man




I stand on the edge of destruction emotionally ruined By the warmth I most desire I will not fall prey to love of a human kind For love is weakness Love is the fall of every man Take this heart you've claimed and as it numbs your hands Know the flame is dead and will no longer burn This body will never pain again This mind knows no wound Though I am of flesh this flesh will not consume me As it has destroyed so many before This body will never pain again This mind knows no wound The flame is dead left only with ashes of memories That renew faith in hate and my faith in myself Nothing can break me This heart remains free from the burden of love Yet this heart will be sustained No hope No compassion I fill my heart with strength



set your body ablaze




I fortify this easily splintered bone into a stronghold of will
as the balance of man lay beaten in the wake of its own frailty.

A horde eager to accept deceit and more so to speak it.
Words will sear the throats of all who freely beguile.
The trught burns through my veins and in my black heart.
Breathe the flame that will overwhelm you; flaw ignites swiftly.

A product of conceit so absorbed and vain that he thinks himself divine;
he is sure to die.
And man must truly be God; for he has tried so hard to create me
in His image, a formless shadow deprived of life.

I am the wayward son of man.
My fathers have darkened what was the warmest heart the world
would have ever known.
Relish in what you have created.

Set your body ablaze.
Hollow words will burn and hollow men will burn.
