01. Sentenced

Music by Vengeful
I can't escape, from my fate
It's too late, to have faith
Without hate, I await, the last gate

Captured at war, and sentenced to death
Today is the day, they'll put me to death
Realize that I'll soon be dead
My hands chained, a bag over my head
As we walk out, I hear all their steps
Feel the rain, my bag is now wet
Gloomy day, for the day I'll die
Not what I wished, at the time of my last ride

Legs are trembling as I hear the roll of drums, played for me
Heartbeat is speeding up with the shuffle of guns, brought for me
My whole body crumbles under the weight of fear, invades me
Dignity is gone I can't hold all the tears

Stopping me, pushing me against the wall
Hitting me, beating me until I fall
Lifting me, ordering me to stand
Hating me, now that I will meet the end

Breathing the scent of death
That is now in the air
It's time for my last prayers
I will meet my death

Legs are trembling as I hear the roll of drums, played for me
Heartbeat is speeding up with the shuffle of guns, brought for me
My whole body crumbles under the weight of fear, invades me
Dignity is gone I can't hold all the tears

The commander ordering to load
Then he's asking his soldiers to hold
Heavy silence, I'm hearing their breaths
I am the target of their bullets
Last dawn, eternal dusk
Last duel, already lost
Following seconds seem like an hour
And finally, I'm hearing fire

First bullet is passing through my chest
Tearing apart my flesh
Hear my blood splashing on the wall
Standing for a while before I fall

Across my corpse, the chill of fear
Now the time to weep all my tears
Last bullet is going through my head
Final vision, I am seeing red

02. Cold Ways

Music by vengeful
Left aside, an eternity in solitude
Traumatized, banned by a careless family
Abused and beaten since early childhood
Distress to delusion, detached from reality

A dark blue, invades the living room
Time stops, freezing space into deadly winter
Through the window, a stalking light enters
It makes the blood look black, as you drown into the gloom

Marked by a lack of sensibility
Caused by a life of desolation
Devoid of human emotions, he lies
Empty, unknown to love or compassion

The icing chill that goes through your spine
The constant certitude of a presence watching
The growing fear spreading from inside
The sudden panic feeling the spirit raping

Self-indulged discipline
Strict and severe concept of living
Waiting for the moment, covered in snow
Years of torture accumulated in a single blow

Becoming the invisible killer
A calculator of behaviour
Anticipator, patient, fierce and precise
The violator

A dark blue, invades the living room
Time stops, freezing space into deadly winter
Through the window, a stalking light enters
It makes the blood look black, as you drown into the gloom

Satisfied in homicide
A brutal masterpiece
Flawless, murderous perfection
Criminal supremacy achieved in cold ways

03. Burial

Music by Vengeful
Opening my eyes and seeing nothing, total darkness
Trying to move, but the walls surround me, no space left
Hard to breathe, inhaling my exhalations, airless
I hear laughter between shovelfuls, from above

Now I realize where I am
Stay calm, avoid claustrophobia
Don't remember what happened
Why am I prisoner of this shell?

Pushing with all my might for nothing
Yelling with all my might for nothing
Scratching till it bleeds for nothing
Smashing till it hurts for nothing

Is it my reward for a life of misery?
Am I chastised for living this long?
Cannot pray without faith
Anyway, faith won't save me

Being the cavy, a foolish experience
The scapegoat of human absurdity
The convict of the merciless
The object of a silly jest

Pushing with all my might for nothing
Yelling with all my might for nothing
Scratching till it bleeds for nothing
Smashing till it hurts for nothing

Mourning your burial
Don't wanna pass out from asphyxia
Living your burial
Better precipitate the end
Mourning your burial
By self-mutilation
Don't wanna wait till I pass away

04. Counterfeit Deity

Music by Vengeful
A long time ago
During an age without scripture and minimal language
A difficult transition
From roaming packs to organized tribes

No science to help
Some difficult questions needed their answers
Divided nations
Demanded creation of fearless soldiers

Clerical manipulation
For procreation
Clitoridectomy
Infibulation

Spreading through the masses as the perfect virus
Conquering, altering mind after mind
Meticulously, viciously harnessing the blind
Spirited apes reduced to mindless insects

Mandatory reproduction so that we can conquer the Earth
Showing mercy only to the ones who convert
No room in our history for the unbeliever
Believe in our gods or be destroyed by fire

Forgive me my father
For what you have done
Abuse me my father
In silence I endure
Torture me my father
I have faith in pain
Expiate my sins
By penitence

Experience how venomous one can get
Once you've come to terms with the fact
That your existence is worthless
As the faith they place in the counterfeit deity

Self-consciousness is a double-edged sword
The need to be above all other animals
Illusive Deity
An escape from the anxieties of death
Given the hope of immortality
Deceptive Deity
A remedy to our pain and suffering
The only path to a blessed eternity
Synthetic Deity
A magic pill to confuse the human psyche
The perfect plot to destroy the skeptic mind
Counterfeit Deity

Admire and devote your life to a master
One who pretends to be the life giver
The dominion is built for multiple reasons
Scheming to turn everyone into a minion
Divide, conquer and submit every population
Engineer of mass manipulation
Instrument of mass destruction
Bow before the counterfeit deity

Get down on your knees and bow down to your god
Get down on your knees and suffer for your god
Get down on your knees and bow down to your god
Get down on your knees and suffer for your god

Ask for a proof and your faith will be suspected
Never be like the one who needed to touch the wounds
The analytical might be judged and be rejected
The total devotee is to be received in my kingdom

Your
God
Disrespect
Your children's mother
Behind the veil
A woman mourns

It never ends
Control by threat
It never ends
The guilt of our sins
It never ends
Lies of the Holy Scriptures
It never ends
Screaming in death's ear

Guiding light of the lost sheep
Why am I abandoned to melancholy

Slaves by our own will to obey the rules
Dictated by the profiteers of our feebleness
Enslaved to be disciples instead of masters
Of the only existence we have to live

Terminate the ones who don't have your faith
Ushers in senseless wars for supremacy
An ocean of blood has flown over the years
To fulfil some prophet's aspirations

Their God, he loathes me
Their God, despises me

Master of Death, forgive me
Taker of Life, spare me
Master of Death, forgive me
For years I have been
Screaming in death's ears for God

05. Burial Pt.2

Music by Vengeful
I can still hear their laughter
From my final resting place
The air getting thin
I'm lost in darkness

Have to act before exhaustion
How could I commit suicide in here?
Tearing apart my belly skin
Finding comfort in suffering
Touch the wounds with my fingertips
Unrolling my guts, piling them up aside
Biting my wrist, the taste of blood
Extirpating my nerves and veins
Painting the walls of my cage red
With every heartbeat a squirt of blood
Hoping I bleed to death before I start stifling

Now I realized where I was
Stayed calm, avoided claustrophobia
Did not remember what happened
Why was I prisoner of this shell?

I had to act before exhaustion
How did I commit suicide in here?
Tore apart my belly skin
Found comfort in suffering
Touched the wounds with my fingertips
Unrolled my guts, piled them up aside
Bit my wrist, the taste of blood
Extirpated my nerves and veins
Painted the walls of my cage red
With every heartbeat a squirt of blood
I bled to death before I started stifling

06. Cleansing

Music by Vengeful
Abortion of this earthly experiment
Genocide of the strong and weak
Liberating your souls from your bodies
Your torture is my leisure
As I dream of peeling your skin
Projectiles in all your orifices
Detonation of the master plan

Their hope a fatal illusion

Women and children first
Harmless toys used for weaponry
Vaporising them, a quest for relief
Never turn on me
I'll carve my name in your fucking back
Like cockroaches, you earthly parasites
Suffocate under my feet

Vengeful species slaughtering without mercy

Are you reading this?
Are you reading me?

Hypocrisy, calumny, false honesty
I psychologically abuse you
I decimate your ego
I rape your conscience

Cleansing

Without mercy

07. Karma

Music by Vengeful
Conspiracy, treachery
Too many times I have failed to foresee
Trust is something I no longer seek
Such in the way when you learn through deceit

Memories still haunt me
Peace of mind is out of reach
Guilt and shame
Some of the feelings I will have to teach through pain

Pain will be yours to receive
My pain
Pain will be yours to receive

Karma, I will be your karma

You know what you did
We all know what you've done
It can't be undone
It's time to repent
Your punishment, is overdue
You will receive, as I will unleash?

My vengeance

Fakes, in fantasy you dwell
Death, the final reward for living this life

Her pain must be as deep as all the nails she put through me
Break the spell, I will, when we have learned that she has stopped to breathe

The pain, the pain is all yours to receive
My pain, my pain is all yours to receive

Karma
I will be your karma

Karma

08. Tempted

Music by Vengeful
The unbearable weight
Of an unending wait
Trying to find a reason
Losing sight of the question
The answer lies in the death of one
An option that is mine to decide
I will choose for you
Since you are here to die

End it if you will
Never will you stop drifting in pain
Fear being your biggest foe
Loneliness your only friend
Constantly dreaming of coming back
Burning in the trap, the nightmare
End it if you will
Forever be filled with eternal pain

Killing your obsession
Getting rid of yourself
Dying is not an option
While living is no solution
Kill, homicide, murder
A lullaby playing in your mind
The only remedy to this plague is death

I will choose for you
Since you are here to die

End it if you will
Never will you stop drifting in pain
Fear being your biggest foe
Loneliness your only friend
Constantly dreaming of coming back
Burning in the trap, the nightmare
End it if you will
Forever be filled with eternal pain
Eternal pain

Can't stop it, can't stop me
Can't stop it, can't stop me

Tempted


Gone

Signs of suicidal being here
Present are the signs
Loud, is, the whisper
Never ending, is the, shiver

No more dreams, constant nightmares
Black hole, filled, with dark thoughts
You've been told, you haven't seen hell
Yet everyday smells like burning flesh

Early departure
Complete failure
Erase the error
Final closure

Tempted to kill
To kill
Tempted to kill
To kill
Tempted to kill
To kill
Tempted to kill
To kill

All this water makes you drown into negative
Depressive, aggressive
State of suffocation
