This narrow
Narcissistic view Of how the world Revolves for you Pandering to The servant's who slave To feed your swollen shell Take it all in Drinking your shame The same bitter pill Filling your cage With anger and words Still spiteful but bleeding gold Stand beside And hiding behind I watch your jester rule Laughing at love And I am ashamed your actions Weep deceit Pretentious pretenders False heir's to the throne You could never earn Shalow graves And hollow passions From years of bitter abuse Idolater, Idolater I pull back your white face mask Clearing the smoke And breaking the mirrors Reveal your master is slave Selfish defeat Your visions are twisted By scheming and impure thought Terrified By all of your failure Laid bare again and again Flay the flesh From other bones To fill your empty defeat Placing the scars On other skin Showing the world your wounds Pretentious pretenders False heir's to the throne You could never earn Shalow graves And hollow passions From years of bitter abuse Idolater, Idolater I pull back your white face mask Clearing the smoke And breaking the mirrors Reveal your master is slave Hiding in corners Afraid of the light That shows your vulgar lie Nothing can love you And nothing can heal you Poisoned by your ego 02. God Burns Like Flesh
Struggle to bring
Order from chaos Making the structures divine Gilded by guilt Controlling the poor Keeping your masses aligned Automatic Fanatical death Triggers the end of our time Prophet existence manufactured Contain all the fear in your eyes Searching your souls for my answer Terrified by the void Welcome to the end my friend To this televised sacrifice God burns like flesh on the spike And this traitor laughs again Bleeding revelations Sweeping exodus fear This genesis failures complete And god burns like flesh Welcome to the end my friend To this televised sacrifice God burns like flesh on the spike And this traitor laughs again Counting your silver while making the wounds That you call your faith God will burn like flesh on the spike And we traitors laugh again 03. Pathway
Taking the first
Steps on the path Timid and jumping at shadows Failing and falling Wanting and needing The answers that we dream Open my eyes To know this world Is more than black and white Open your eyes To a world that has more than pain Rapid fire Dieing of days That fast becomes your life Cherish the breath And drink in the joy Before it wastes all away Open my eyes To know this world Is more than black and white Open your eyes To a world that has more than pain When the sun sets will you weep with regret Or find your life after death I will stand tall and toast to my fate And beg for nothing at all 04. Stripped Of Faith
Terrorized and horrified
By the prophets Sworn to protect us From evils abound in this world Twisting the tails That makes up your lives Bending the light so perverse I have been stripped of faith For the very last time Raw and bleeding Sick and decieving Stronger than the lie We rise above Pulling freedom free From the clutches of you I cry for the world Broken and calloused Making our lives Not worth living for Bleeding hearts And foolish dreams Burning alive By vicious swine I have been stripped of faith For the very last time Raw and bleeding Sick and decieving Stronger than the lie We rise above Pulling freedom free From the clutches of you 05. Dirge Of The Christ
All hail
The dirge of the Christ His final mass of death And my last revelation This is the dirge of the Christ The greatest mass of death Breathing requiem's last breath Told from on high His final chapter's verse Bleeding from the chorus That I sing All that is and ever was All that is shall never be Pull the scales from my eyes Reveal the path that is the lie All that ever was Made undone Feasting on the week Has made you soft Their pail white skin This victimless rape Paid for with blood So we can drink wine Setting the feast On the bitter dead Snared in the game Vulgar and vicious Bighting at the hearts Of the ones we should love Faded former glories Of righteous wars won How quickly you would burn And steal away my trust I am the dirge of the Christ My greatest requiem mass Forsaking your saviors Rotting on their cross Betrayed by you all And all that He was Powers pleasure and pain This mad empires reign Innocence and purity Twist to read like a sin What can poison a mind? Like powers sweet divide Feeding the wrong for right Eating the days light I am the dirge of the Christ My greatest requiem mass Forsaking your saviors Rotting on their cross Betrayed by you all And all that He was 06. Buried In Black
I am the pilgrim all alone
Bleeding to death on this broken road Failing the path of god To find my paradise is lost Blinded by light that could save us all Buried in the black tides rising fall Could I be the dove? The olive branch in my hand Pulling the trigger so gently To face my judgment in flames Feeding the fear that I love To fuel this vulgar tragedy I feel so far from the surface Unable to cope, unable to die Here is the dream that haunts my night And the visions that blur my sight Blinded by light that could save us all Buried in black tides rising fall Who is the demon in my mind? Reflecting the evil that I hide My penance must be paid To the end of darkness days Feeding the fear that I love To fuel this vulgar tragedy I feel so far from the surface Unable to cope, unable to die Here is the dream that haunts my night And the visions that blur my sight Blinded by light that could save us all Buried in black tides rising fall 07. This Is The Day
Today is the day
That I end My god given life Spit of the face My creator I mock you I cannot explain This anger That wells up with in me Painted on smile Your vacuous stares I cannot stand to be Breathing the same air Wanting you dead Haiting the lie that you buy Contempt raises bile So thick in my throat Can't stand the site of you This vicious joke This is the day I bring about my own destruction This is the day My rage poisons your purest dreams I can't stand you Anymore There's something inside of me That I cannot live with There's something I see in you That I will not bare withess too All of the truth I've learned from your lies All of my life I've lived in denial Unable to fight your constant reprisals I see my will weakened by you I see my life a worthless lie I pray and I cry For some meaning to seep in my life Your life built on words From the lies of a dead man My fragile existence You cannot preserve Your faith and your ethos I deny Today is the day I bring about my own destruction Spit in the face My savior Messiah and Christ This is the day I bring about my own destruction This is the day My rage poisons your purest dreams I can't stand you Anymore 08. Tomorrow Immortal
The sands of time slip through your fingers
And never will you see your leaves turning grey Never to feel the sun set on your soul Never aware of where you are Caught in the ebb and the flow Of time Our seconds turn to minutes Our minutes flow into the hours And hours march forward Heedless of my cry's for today To tomorrow Tomorrow immortal The sun shines Bright through my eyes Warms the flesh And moves my blood that grows cold Tomorrow immortal Opens her mouth And swallows me whole Devours my life And devours my soul The clock tolls the hour of reckoning Waste not what you are given Want not what you waste For the judge of today is tomorrow immortal Held in the arms of my lovers grip Pulling me to my end The end of all of your days Caressing the lines And the years into our skin Wrap me in your velvet embrace Entombed in this place In void of purpose There can be no existence There can be no future Without your past Hold me tight in your hands To keep me safe from the years That wears me down And turn us all into dust The sun shines Bright through my eyes Warms the flesh And moves my blood that grows cold Tomorrow immortal Opens her mouth And swallows me whole Devours my life And devours my soul |
