This Is Suffering
03:28
|
|||
Open my eyes and what do I see
Not an angel in sight
No loved ones to comfort me
Twisted sinews of rope hold me down
Menacing laughter, echoing all around me
Dead by one's own hand
Writhing in gore on the harvest floor
A new chance at life awaits you inside
But only if you're willing to die by our terms this time
This is suffering,
Where dreams go to die and no one will rest in peace
A prison for cowards, tonight you dine with the swine
Heavens design made without you in mind
Not even Hell holds a place for your wretched kind
A life of sin that not even God can forgive
Mutilated, desecrated bodies I see all around
Blank stares, dead eyes, you're fucked out of time
This is suffering
Where dreams go to die and no one will rest in peace.
A prison for cowards, tonight you dine with the swine.
Feed the pig

Unhallowed
03:20
|
|||
Living is a game
Choose life or death
Obey what you've never seen
Faceless orders that you follow
Nothing is as it seems
Forsake yourselves and cleave unto me
I am the one true deity
Grant me your souls and your past beliefs
for I am a prophet of peace
You are forgiven, I grant you release
If you live and die by my word
Salvation is only a sip away
So drink from my unhallowed urn
I see that you're weary there's nothing to fear
walk with me into the night
My children will all have a place by my side
all who oppose me shall die
You are forgiven I grant you release
if you live and die by my word
Salvation is only a sip away
So drink from my unhallowed urn
Together raise your cups to your lips
And we'll erase this sickness
Watch our higher selves take flight
We'll drink to death tonight
You are forgiven, I grant you release
If you live and die by my word
Salvation is only a sip away
So drink from my unhallowed urn.

War
04:11
|
|||
This means war
Scatter the masses, incite war between classes
To distract them from this new genocide
Money, power, politics
The driving force behind the new age of heretics
Cover your eyes
As the helpless die
Feeding more lies
That blankets your blackened soul
War, War, politicians play
Their plan is to make millions while thousands more are slain
War, War ,propaganda made
There is no use for peace if a profit can be gained
We all bow down to conglomerates
Forced to our knees big business is moving up
Slowly but surely enveloping to world
Tearing through our innocence as their flag of filth unfurls
War, War, politicians play
Their plan is to make millions while thousands more are slain.
War, War, propaganda made
There is no use for peace if a profit can be gained
Your blood runs blacker than the oil that you kill for
Committing genocide to fill your pockets with more
You are the reason there will never be peace
America's holocaust in the middle east
This means war
War, War the politicians play
Their plan is to make millions while thousands more are slain.
War, War, propaganda made,
There is no use for peace if a profit can be gained
This means war

Dem(i)god
03:39
|
|||
What do you believe
Can you believe in something that your eyes have never seen
Still your questions go unanswered by your fallen king
Nowhere to turn but your prayers to grant you release
Those words are never to be heard.
An idol through the eyes of all those that are left to believe,
The view is different from the eyes of the early deceased.
I live for me and no one else for I'm a demigod
I'm living free until the darkness takes me
On the words of a myth you built your lives
You used your faith to cauterize
All the wounds brought forth by the Son of the sky
yet still you follow
I can't feel anymore
Don't know what it means to have thoughts of my own
Through a lake of fire
And beyond these charred burned walls I dwell
I am your devastation
This dark lord's procreation
This is the meaning of fear
What do you believe in
A divine abomination bent on deceiving
How can you believe in
A puppet master pulling the strings
I can't feel anymore
Don't know what it means to have thoughts of my own
Through a lake of fire
And beyond these charred burned walls I dwell
What do you believe
I am a demigod
I can't feel anymore
Don't know what it means to have thoughts of my own
Through a lake of fire
And beyond these charred burned walls I dwell

The Bridge
04:40
|
|||
I am a warning of impending doom
Across the silver bridge
My shadow will always loom
Red eyes burning, the air turning cold
My time has come the bridge will fall along with you
I watched you drown
From atop the bridge
without a sound the icy water pulls you in
I am an angel of death
Embrace the cold
I'm here to take you the young and the old
I tried to warn you
Ninety-nine will die
Fire, steel and ashes
Raining from the sky
I watched you drown
From atop the bridge
without a sound the icy water pulls you in
I am an angel of death
Embrace the cold
I'm here to take you the young and the old
Face your fate, look into my eyes
It's far too late to save yourself
So say your goodbyes

Hand Of God
04:36
|
|||
Twisted but you can't resist it
The call of an omnipotent being
All consuming and all seeing
So pledge your allegiance to his army of demons
And prepare yourself for the coming war
Festering beneath the skyline
In this world so cold I'm left behind
This is our time
We watch humanity die
We have lost our way
and for your sins we pay
The winds of change are calling
Unveil the hand of God
From the heavens stars are falling
Torn down by the wretched one
Waiting for God to save us
As the fabric of our lives slowly comes undone
Hellish insanity
The weak will drown in their own blood
Nothing can comfort me
Just one more fallen son
Festering beneath the skyline
In this world so cold I'm left behind
This is our time
We watch humanity die
We have lost our way
and for your sins we pay
I'm a serpent a devourer of souls
I've crawled up from my depths to drag you to your hell below
I am fallen, no angel am I
I am the demise of your paradise
Beg for forgiveness
Hide in your shame
you broke the rules and now I am your king
And one by one I cut you down
One by one I add to my crown
I saw the hand of God
I saw the hand of God
I watched the hand of God
Crush the life from you

What Cannot Die
04:26
|
|||
I gorge myself on the hearts of the innocent
But still my hunger grows
Ruthlessly I hunt my enemies
Break their will and crush their bones
They've all tried to tame me but nothing will
My fountain of youth from your veins will spill
Born into madness
Cursed with a thirst for flesh
Forever kept alive
I am what cannot die
What some call a disease
Keeps me young eternally
You cannot kill what cannot die
I am a scourge a curse on the land
A countless number have died by my hand
A creature cold blooded, in sickness I rise
I feed off of fear, and thrive on life's demise
The binding hands of time
Hold no power over me
I have the soul of a monster
And have for centuries
The flesh of mortals will keep me alive
It keeps me alive
Born into madness
Cursed with a thirst for flesh
Forever kept alive
I am what cannot die
What some call a disease
Keeps me young eternally
You cannot kill what cannot die
I choose eternal life
Born into madness
Cursed with a thirst for flesh
Forever kept alive
I am what cannot die
What some call a disease
Keeps me young eternally
You cannot kill what cannot die
I am that which cannot, will not die

All Becomes Black
04:17
|
|||
Terror, fright and insanity
As the sky is torn in two
Birds of hell unleashed on humanity
To prey we are reduced
Tear our flesh from our bones
Which in turn break like stones
Beaks like razors find their home
Taking our bodies and freeing our souls
Look to the sky
Our last breath goodbye
As the crows attack
And all becomes black
Night falls eternally
Mankind is laid to waste
There is no turning back
The ravens seal our fates
Hopeless, pretending
That our souls are not descending
Into the abyss
Cease to exist
Held down by chains
Look to the sky
Our last breath goodbye
As the crows attack
And all becomes black
Take my hand
We go tonight
Decaying wings will spread and take flight
We only recognize the signs
After the end has arrived
Nothing can redeem us
Take steps unto repentance
But the time for forgiveness has past
Welcome to your judgment day
Look to the sky
Our last breath goodbye
As the crows attack
And all becomes black

Fade Away
04:08
|
|||
Blacked out, passed out on the floor
Once again I lose myself in a bottle
The demons inside of me want more
I drown them out but they refuse to let me go
Time after time
I try to get away
But their warm embrace
Kills me with each breath I take
I’m losing the fight for my life
Struggling just to survive
I’m holding on by a thread
But I won’t let go till I’m dead
Consumed, but I feel like I have been set free
Hollowed to the very core
This thing that’s killing me
Has become the only thing left to live for
I’m losing the fight for my life
Struggling just to survive
I’m holding on by a thread
But I won’t let go till I’m dead
I’ve never felt so low, so close to giving up
I’ve already lost it all
As I bleed through self inflicted cuts
The mistakes I’ve made
Have cost me everything
I accept my fate
And slowly fade away
When will this end?
Caught in another cycle
Taken all I can take
Just let me self medicate
Just one more drink, one more hit
One more line I swear I’ll quit
Just give me my release so I can fade away
The mistakes I’ve made
Have cost me everything
I accept my fate
And slowly fade away

Still Standing
04:19
|
|||
We live in the shadows
Cast aside by the hand that feeds
Neglected and forgotten
But our hearts still bleed
We have awakened
We hold our heads up high
Stand strong, unshaken
Together we will rise
We will break through these chains
That hold us down
Push through, find a new way
We won’t be held down
Through the course of eternity
The oppressed have found a way to survive
Even through constant struggle
We will continue to live our lives
And even if the world stands against us
We will fight on
We may be few in number
But we are strong
We will break through these chains
That hold us down
Push through, find a new way
We won’t be held down

Surfacing
04:36
|
|||
My face so familiar
But my name unrecognized
You trust me for my stature
My dear you’re in for a surprise
I feel the flames inside me
My vision slowly blurs
The evil being I’m hiding
Surfaces this is my final curse
In the cover of moonlight
I wait outside her door
Knocking ever so softly
She turns the lock and in I go
Straight for the throat,
We go to the floor
Desperately you struggle
But that only makes me want you more
You scream, though no one can hear you
Worry not my dear your troubles will soon be through
Like a shadow, I am a curse of the night
Evil to the core, I feed off the sound of your cries
I only feel alive
When you die
I feel the flames inside me
My vision slowly blurs
The evil being I’m hiding
Surfaces this is my final curse
Your skin has grown so pale
My blood soaked bride
Don’t be so timid
In death you look so alive
You bring out the monster in me
What the hell have I done?
What have I become?
This creature’s blood flows through my veins
I’ll never be the same

South Of Salvation
04:19
|
|||
Abandon all hope
Ye who enter this city of woe
Where you reap what you sow
Minos has spoken, into the fire you’re thrown
To burn forevermore
My God these wretched shades
Whose torment I’ve witnessed beyond the grave
Souls shackled, bound to this place
Condemned to endless torture
I won’t give in
To this hell that surrounds me
Or fall victim
To this chaos compounding
Deeper and deeper into the woods
Marching straight to the heart of hell
These faceless beings
They howl and they scream
As their suffering prevails
This is the fate
You chose for yourself
The consequence of your cowardice
Is to wander this endless hell
I won’t give in
To this hell that surrounds me
Or fall victim
To this chaos compounding
Embrace your sorrows
Through pain the weak become strong
Our bodies hollow
Will soon be filled with light from above
Like marionettes we march to our deaths
Creeping and crawling up from the depths
Fear grips us and eats us alive
I won’t give in
To this hell that surrounds me
Or fall victim
To this chaos compounding
Embrace your sorrows
Through pain the weak become strong
Our bodies hollow
Will soon be filled with light from above
