All Becomes Black

1.
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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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
10.
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
12.
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
