Unforgiven
03:47
|
|||
What do you believe?
What lies do you seek?
We won't be forgiven for all our sins
We'll desecrate and show the truth
Blasphemy reigns and darkness stays
We fall from grace now
Seeking the truth
Not from a book, but from the earth
It's been beneath us this whole time
What god would create us, then make us suffer?
What god would claim to love, only to hate?

Night of the Dying Dead
03:56
|
|||
Rising from their graves
Hungering for everything
Coming for the killing
Staying for their filling
It's the night of the dying dead
Where bones and decay come back to life
Chills down your spine, bide the time, get in line
Time to cause a commotion, cause we're not coming back alive
Chemicals and pain, frustration coming out
As we set this plan in motion, no one meets us in the afterlife
Tempest-tossed and waiting for a strike
Prey upon the weak and those who just pretend
Massacring those who seek but cannot find
So let us feast and breathe the air, my friend
We've got a proposition for you
They always say never play with your food
But my god, you look like lots of fun
Come with me, we're gonna get you good
It's the night of the dying dead
Where bones and decay come back to life
We'll come and take you for your head
And eat you alive, come enjoy the strife, sacrifice!

The Storm
03:50
|
|||
Weather is a force of nature
How is it possible to calm the storm when it arrives?
We do not know if it will be mild or severe
But the inevitable cannot be escaped
We can change its course, but we'd likely only delay it
What can we do when the world which gave us life is destroyed?
She toiled for us

Sands of Time
04:03
|
|||
Sinking in the sands of time, no going back
Eternal vision of crushing void
As I disintegrate, my Father calls and takes me in
At last, my nightmares are destroyed
Reactively, I take the sword and plunge it in my heart
Swear to God, I have made this all in vain
No vile preachings, no stories to tell
I'll live with you in Hell if it will end my pain
The hell of these emotions
Some will call it destiny
The torment of forgiveness
I live, I die, I take a falsified oath
Scream and cry in this despair I bore
I live, I die, I claw at the walls in anguish
The wrath of Heaven descends upon my broken soul
Hunger for the kill, saving nothing for the rest
Take upon myself as I bring all of them to death
What you see and what you hear are nothing like the Text
I've fallen and I'm staying down where no one can come test me
And I've seen it all, experienced the torment
Broken and starving and tortured all before this
"Never question your superiors?" I just point and laugh
All I want is answers, and I will take my stand
Absent in tongues, but speaking in the wind
I have come not for fame, but only for the truth
The interrogation will last until I say it is done
Make one wrong move and you will face your fall
No one will escape the grasp of my hand
All shall know my name, and all shall bow before me
You cannot flee, I have you surrounded
I am legion, I am many, now turn and face me

An Unknown Presence
04:43
|
|||
She sings me to sleep, but she's all in my head
A false reality as good as dead
She'll never be known, but her warmth I feel
Burning hotter than a thousand suns; could it be real?
Take a ride to the realm of darkness tonight
To find her in my dreams, to keep our embrace tight
As I search for hidden answers to bring her to the light
Do I disregard these second thoughts and do what feels right?
Search for what I believe in and don't take no for an answer
I know she's real, I know she's there, and I cannot take it
Eternal blindness, it's unrequited
A future of bleakness, unable to fight it
It's indescribable, the pain and the anguish
What could have been is undeniable
One day I may see, and one day I may feel
Dipped in the Styx, but wounded in heel
But the absence of this spirit is surreal
Burning in the flesh, this heart she did steal
She's an unknown presence, but I feel her there
There's something about it, there's somebody here
A lost cause, a cold case, it's going nowhere
But I'll never accept that, she's somewhere near

Bring Me War
04:18
|
|||
I'm unhappy, get your guns, cause a war is brewing
Get back in line and do your time, what are you doing?
Pigs of disposal, expendable
And we'll just sit back and take the cash, spend it all!
In honor of your sacrifice
Bury you with the rest
Suffice to say, no one will miss you when you're dead
So give us you and pump some lead!
Bring me war!
God, I want more!
It's what you're here for
You better fight until you're dead on the floor!
The flesh you bore
Death knocks at your door
You better fight until you're dead on the floor!
Face it kid, you're never getting anywhere in life
Go ahead and burn the card and we'll just laugh here and wait
We'll come and find ya, take you from your mama
Don't ask any questions, the answers you get you will hate
Another hole to dig, another day, another body
You're just like the rest, and so am I, but men are shoddy
War is an art and I'm a tasteful man
I will paint the walls in blood, but tonight I make another plan!
In honor of your sacrifice
Bury you with the rest
Suffice to say, no one will miss you when you're gone
Bullet after bullet until the break of dawn
Bring me war!
God, I want more!
It's what you're here for
You better fight until you're dead on the floor!
The flesh you bore
Death knocks at your door
You better fight until you're dead on the floor!

Religion
02:56
|
|||
What can be said of religion?
It's merely a tool to control
To keep free thought restricted
If you believe, why be a pawn inside the institution?
You are being used
I stick to my own
Exploring a world in the spiritual realm
Free from the chains of institutionalized religions
Free thought must never die
I won't be caught in their lies

Entrapment
02:47
|
|||
Entrapments normally unseen now visible at night
If you look inside, you'll see the flames are burning bright
Ending in oblivion, and shattered glass, no light
At the ending of the tunnel, what you see is spite
And even in the dead of winter, heat remains within
Innocence ignored and burnt to crisp in his domain
What could be averted when it could just be destroyed
For no other reason than a faith which brought them joy
Millions set ablaze in the furnaces of hate
Sit upon the throne of time and wait
Rhetoric cannot be reasoned with
History will repeat itself
Your blood is not my blood
Therefore you're not one
Life will not be spared
History repeats itself

Darkness Descends
04:28
|
|||
As darkness descends, the whispers will sing
The fangs that dig deep - your blood they will drink
In this eternal nightmare, there's only despair and pain
Your book of lies is worthless; its words don't mean a thing
In chaos there is order, in order there is night
A light that most don't see, but in the end you still believe
Tale after tale - something must be done
Blind leading the blind - this war has just begun
The words all sound the same, of dying on the cross
A newborn congregation, exactly like the rest
How sapient are you that you would claim to be omniscient
But never come to aid when millions are in need
|
||||
11. |

A promise
Empty words unfulfilled
He knows not of truth
Ever increasing distrust
If I perish, let me be
All I wanted was to be at peace
So I rot, dying drought
Mortal flesh is not what I brought
The howling wind takes me to
My grave where I lay and cease to be
Thus I die, where I lie
Turned into dust, and reset in grief

The Dead Will Rise
05:09
|
|||
When the blood is flowing
Seeping into place
Legions raging, contagion
The dead emerging from their graves
When the fire's burning
Soak it all in gasoline
Light the flame, it's hurting
These demons raging in me
One hand unites and they attack
Death comes, you should be watching your back
The dead will rise
When all hope is fading
Waste, infected pride
Demons laughing, reanimating
Voices call from six feet deep
When the nightmare's ending
And all hell breaks loose
All-hating, life's draining
These demons raging in me
