What is this he sees
All through history He has been watching over the lands Now he just sees tragedy All the world's misery Are as plain as the lines on his hands What's this I see Through the eyes of the King Still sits upon his throne Guarded by walls of stone Through the years he surely has grieved Look at what the world has done We have poisoned everyone Now he sees things he just can't believe What's this I see Through the eyes of the King He looks for reason why Pain fills his eyes Run, we can't hide from our destiny Now we face judgment day Have we doomed humanity Is there time for us all to be saved What's this I see Through the eyes of the King 02. Maniacal Renderings
I don't see things quite the same
Pictures inside my brain Twisted visions they get scattered I just move further away From life's reality Like a painting that scarred and tattered Can you feel me deeply breathing in your dreams where I show you pictures only you and I can see I'm just paving the way I'm in total control I don't hear what you say I am running the show I know soon you'll awake But before I go I want to have a part of you to take with me Maniacal renderings of TWISTED VISIONS SHOWING HELL Maniacal renderings of TWISTED VISIONS SHOWING HELL I just wanna touch you all And smile as I watch you fall I just don't know right from wrong Or where these memories belong They are specters shadow dancing I tell it all black and white I use no colors to hide All the things that are grey and blackened Can you feel me deeply breathing in your dreams where I show you pictures only you and I can see I'm just paving the way I'm in total control I don't hear what you say I'm still running the show I know soon you'll awake But before I go I want to have a part of you to take with me Maniacal renderings of TWISTED VISIONS SHOWING HELL Maniacal renderings of TWISTED VISIONS SHOWING HELL I just wanna touch you all Smile as I watch you fall Now I will soon set you free No more will you have to see These visions that we have offered Now you may choose your own Be sure you never betray The pictured lives we have ordered Can you feel me deeply breathing in your dreams where I show you pictures only you and I can see I'm just paving the way I'm in total control I don't hear what you say I'm still running the show I know soon you'll awake But before I go I want to have a part of you to take with me Maniacal renderings of TWISTED VISIONS SHOWING HELL Maniacal renderings of TWISTED VISIONS SHOWING HELL I just wanna touch you all And smile as I watch you fall 03. The Evil Beside You
When we were young but never told
How the world could be so cold As we change from young to old The night takes us away The night takes us away As the day falls to the night Then we take the stage Play the game of life Where everyone's just trying to succeed At dawn as the day begins To weave our way through a world of sin Temptation only leads to agony And I can feel your tired, starving Try to break through Feel the weight of the world upon you There's nothing but Evil beside you Watch out cause they're coming to get you Another day just trying to get through Live, love at times we grieve But there's so much more that we really need Seems all there is are sketchy prophecies Scratch, claw just to survive Have to fight our way through this world of lies Just so we can feed our families And I can feel your tired, starving Try to break through Feel the weight of the world upon you There's nothing but Evil beside you Watch out cause they're coming to get you Another day just trying to get through 04. Time To Die
You have crossed the line
Your suicide, the final ride You ignored the signs A helpless fight it ends tonight Your souls traveling on All the twisted things you've done You thought you had the master plan Now it's all caught up to you And still you wonder why I can see right through you brother You're not fooling anyone Now you pay the final price It's time for you to die Time is all but out Death calls for you, what can you do Try to form a lie to buy some time So you can run and hide And beg and plead before the lord You'll be on your knees All the twisted things you've done You thought you had the master plan Now it's all caught up to you And still you wonder why I can see right through you brother You're not fooling anyone Now you pay the final price It's time for you to die It's time for you to die All the twisted things you've done You thought you had the master plan Now it's all caught up to you And still you wonder why I can see right through you brother You're not fooling anyone Now you pay the final price It's time for you to die All the twisted things you've done You thought you had the master plan Now it's all caught up to you And still you wonder why I can see right through you brother You're not fooling anyone Now you pay the final price It's time for you to die It's time for you to die It's time for you to die 05. The Answer
There's something in the night air
Cool breeze make me shutter How strange is the calm before the storm Another day of news breaks A world now in hear ache Sometimes I feel I just got to let go And why, why can't we all love Why does it hurt so, maybe tomorrow I'm here, I'm free, look up, tell me And Jesus show me the answers Your picture is faded, your image is gone, gone And people can you hear what I'm saying You'd better start praying We could all soon be gone Time it keeps on passing you Lives caught in a maze World she's living on borrowed time Now it's all up to you As another night grows cold Lord heal my soul Have we lost our way God knows it Can we change the world Please show us And Jesus show me the answers Your picture is faded, your image is gone, gone And people can you hear what I'm saying We'd better start praying We could all soon be gone Have we lost our way God knows it Can we change the world Please show us And Jesus show me the answers Your picture is faded, your image is gone, gone And people can you hear what I'm saying We'd better start praying We could all soon be gone,gone Oh yeah Have we lost our way God knows it Can we change the world 06. Push It To The Limit
White witch fever, the only way you know
Night time creeper, need somewhere to go Schizoid, paranoia running through your mind Everything's is closing in, you're running out of time Gotta push it to the Limit Gotta push it to the Limit Gotta push it to the Limit Gotta push it to the Limit Psycho liar, do anything for cash You'd cut your grandma to make this feeling last No sense of reason, the ecstasy you chase Every second bringing you closer to your grave Gotta push it to the Limit Gotta push it to the Limit Gotta push it to the Limit Gotta push it to the Limit 07. Playing God
Look at the world we're living in
War, hate, killing the innocent Manipulating our brains We're just victims of the insane Poisoned live, unholy decadence Filling the new with your sick ignorance Sending our children to war Tell me what are they dying for Who's playing God Global conflict, this war will never end Blame it all on misguided religions Continue your senseless fight I see no end in sight East, west following prophecies Comes to us by radio and TV Who's telling the truth Can't you see they're fooling you Who's playing God Nothing but lies is what they're always speaking Power and greed is what they're really seeking Let's start a revolution All of out lines to them, They don't mean nothing Still they survive They always think of something Watching out world crumbling down And from above I don't hear a sound Is there time, is there time Time is short for every race of man Seize the future, we must make a stand Stop living their lies Don't believe their alibis Try to change the world before it ends Global war on the horizon Why can't the powers that be Open their eyes and see Who's playing God Got more than we bargained for Got more than we bargained for Got more than we bargained for Got more than we bargained for I look in their eyes I see the lies There's no place to hide Who's playing God 08. Timeless Flight
Father as I kneel and pray
To the Lord above, can he save the day Or will he just turn away From my heart I say I long to change this lonely life I say a prayer every night That the world will survive Just souls on a timeless flight Different cultures, different ways Father time moves on We all must turn the page To a chapter that fades Down the roads we pave I long to change this lonely life I say a prayer every night That the world will survive Just souls on a timeless flight And so my friends I've got to say I wish to thank you all Before I go away In my heart you'll remain for all eternity The love you gave, what more can I say You all helped change this lonely life Welcome to this world of pain News media fills our brains War, hate all we dread Continuous lies we are fed Cities are burning, ruins remain Terrorist cells of the insane Innocent victims of political chess Stolen lives we'll never forget Welcome to this world of pain News media fills our brains War, hate all we dread Continuous lies we are fed Cities are burning, ruins remain Terrorist cells of the insane Innocent victims of political chess Stolen lives we'll never forget Take me to the promise land Take me to the promise land Reaching outward save their precious lives Take me to the promise land Take me to the promise land Reaching outward save their precious lives 09. Holes
You, looking out of holes
Tell me what you see Just pain and agony So this is holy war The people who live free Are now your enemy And I want to know Is it worth it all? There's so much waiting out there Open your eyes and you will see Or you'll just keep on hanging Like puppets on a string You are the living dead Your life's been thrown away You're counting down the days So you're answering his call To live your life this way As nothing but his slave And I want to know Is it worth it all? There's so much waiting out there Open your eyes and you will see Or you'll just keep on hanging Like puppets on a string There's so much waiting out there Open your eyes and you will see Or you'll just keep on hanging 10. End Times
And I know, yeah I know
So many times they've knocked upon my door Don't believe all that you see People are actively Trying to deceive You with their lies They approach you like they care I'm telling you to beware Evil has no cares Just alibis So you open your door And they put on a show, Can't you see they're just pretending Speak the words of the lord His name that they scorn It's lives they're collecting Thriving in the end times Trying hard to steal another life Looking for a good sign But they've lost them all I'm sure See they prey upon the weak Just like the snake they creep Ever so cautiously Into your life Told you lived a life of sin And if you don't give in To what they're preaching It's hell when you die Then I just slam the door I can't take anymore The story's always changing And I just cannot wait Till they come face to face With the God that They're disgracing Thriving in the end times Trying hard to steal another life Looking for a good sign But they've lost them all I'm sure 11. Pray For You Now
And in the dark I look for you
I'd expect you'd be there With every show I run this through It all seems so unfair How you lose the ones you love That you need to be there You know life isn't perfect now all I do is reflect Still I pray for you now Still I pray for you now Everyday I think of you Someday I'll meet you there Maybe you can show me through Through the heavens we'll share Till then I'll just say goodnight And leave you with this prayer I hope in peace you do rest Forever you will be missed Ah, still I pray for you now Still I pray for you now Still I pray for you now Still I pray for you now Still I pray for you now |
