01. Wisdom And Corruption

Burn this place
Life has gone
Resurrect

Those that wait
Without you
Forsaken

Open up your mind and look beyond
the things you think you know
Corruption steams from the true evil
of our world and existence

A wrecking ball's a started
dragging your remains uphill
Wisdom is corruption
Don't impress upon me simple views

To prey on the simple minded
Is the height of weakness and immortality?
Follow blindly
With open eyes
The spirit world is lost upon you

Open up your mind and look beyond
the things you think you know
Corruption steams from the true evil
of our world and existence

A wrecking ball;s a started
dragging your remains uphill
Wisdom is corruption
Don't impress upon me simple views

Religion
Brainwash me if you dare
Has its own special place in hell
Religion

Erecting statues and reminders of a god long gone
Hoping, praying for an easier life
than the ones before you
Taking chances with your health
for an enlightened mind
I can't just sit by ignore
what I see is going on

To prey on the simple minded
Is the height of weakness and immortality?
Follow blindly
With open eyes
The spirit world is lost upon you

Burn this place
Life has gone
Resurrect

Those that wait
Without you
Forsaken

02. An Unforgotten Force

More then ever, I have felt
True confusion in my life
It is so hard to decide
Am I insane?

Drifting out of my sane mind
My enjoyment overrides
Have I stolen innocence?
I am out of control?

Chase the ones
That want to be the sunlight
This here life will be a lie

Take heed of wisdom
Clear as the night
What I don't see's
A warning

Never wanted to
Never wanted to
Release my grip

Only had one chance to
Watch you loose consciousness
Squeeze and drain the life from your outer shell
Charged with murder one day I will be

More then ever, I have felt
True confusion in my life
It is so hard to decide
Am I insane?

Drifting out of my sane mind
My enjoyment overrides
Have I stolen innocence?
I am out of control?

We're soaking

I don't know
You're sulking
Seduction
Enthralled

Chase the ones
That want to be the sunlight
This here life will be a lie

Take heed of wisdom
Clear as the night
What I don't see's
A warning

Hollow, I see my thoughts in front of me
Consciousness drifts away
Confusion overwhelms me
How can I stop this?

Never wanted to
Never wanted to
Release my grip

Only had one chance to
Watch you loose consciousness
Squeeze and drain the life from your outer shell
Charged with murder one day I will be

Hollow, I see my thoughts in front of me
Consciousness drifts away
Confusion overwhelms me
How can I stop this?

03. Caught In The Crossfire

Shoot one of them, one of us
Another hit in the chest
Stare them down
Torn between, burying my friends

War can be a peaceful place
Fallen soldiers everywhere
Guns spray the hate towards you
Time and time again

Throw your pride away
It's dispensable
Before you pull the trigger on yourself

Lost and confused
Can't think clearly
Thoughts of home are
Running through your head

No more goodbyes
Prepping the trigger and
Sending the pain...the pain
Forced into so called shame
There mission
Under...Under, order they obey

Throw your pride away
It's dispensable
Before you pull the trigger on yourself

Lost and confused
Can't think clearly
Thoughts of home are
Running through your head

Shoot one of them, one of us
Another hit in the chest
Stare them down
Torn between, burying my friends

War can be a peaceful place
Fallen soldiers everywhere
Guns spray the hate towards you
Time and time again

Caught in the crossfire

No more goodbyes
Prepping the trigger and
Sending the pain...the pain
Forced into so called shame
There mission
Under...Under, order they obey

No more goodbyes
Sending the pain

Forced into so called shame
There mission
Under...Under, order they obey

Caught in the crossfire

No more goodbyes
Prepping the trigger and
Sending the pain...the pain
Forced into so called shame
There mission
Under...Under, order they obey

No more goodbyes
Sending the pain

Forced into so called shame
There mission
Under...Under, order they obey

Throw your pride away
It's dispensable
Before you pull the trigger on yourself

Lost and confused
Can't think clearly
Thoughts of home are
Running through your head

04. The Deception

Such a bright eyed young man
With the world at my feet
Offered such amazing opportunities
Bullshit

False friendship plagued me through this process
Now I'm free I can start again, the reawakening

I've, lived the life of a recording artist
And been unfulfilled
Take this, take that,
Drain me until my passion is gone

Music was something I did for the love of
You took it from me
So many fucking sleepless nights and headaches
That no one else saw

Fuck this bullshit industry
I've had more then my fair share
Now I'll do it passionately
And let myself grow

I remember a time all too long ago
Music was my love my true meaning
I couldn't get enough
My waking obsession
These times are long behind me
Its got me thinking
Its got me thinking
Its got me thinking

And as I sit here writing this I can feel it coming back
All the joy I felt creating something from deep inside me
Working through those late, late nights
With nothing but drive to create
This is when I was content
This is my therapy

I've, lived the life of a recording artist
And been unfulfilled
Take this, take that,
Drain me until my passion is gone

Music was something I did for the love of
You took it from me
So many fucking sleepless nights and headaches
That no one else saw

Fuck this bullshit industry
I've had more then my fair share
Now I'll do it passionately
And let myself grow

I'm free! What a great feeling
What ya gonna do?
No more bullshit promises
You forced me into this

I'm free! What a great feeling
No more bullshit promises
You forced me into this

05. Disassembly Line

My discontent

Take them all to the darkened courtyard
Chopped them into chunks
Bag them up and count them
Wait until the flesh is contained

Feeding your loved once
Is a human right
People fear infection
Don't forget to tag the last one

Apply pressure (its) better to end your life
Prepare suppertime
Conditions dormant
We never seem to dine
The best's gone off
It's angelic, it is
Could we be the dead?

I see one thing that's missing

It's just like Hersey, Hersey
Why comply, a sick campaign
Millions of men
It's just like Hersey, Hersey

Imprisoned pride
Treated like animals, sever the link of the land
The spirit suffers
Taking an external rest in turn

I've seen the wall
What could have been?
Am I dead or alive?

Mistaken Chores
Surely denounced
They were grilled while alive

I see feeble, feeble souls
Feelings (have) stopped now, your savior's gone

Imprisoned pride
Treated like animals, sever the link of the land
The spirit suffers
Taking an external rest in turn

I've seen the wall
What could have been?
Am I dead or alive?

Mistaken Chores
Surely denounced
They were grilled while alive

06. Evolution Of Aggression

You rushed in, you must be blind
To feel insulted by
Words from your head
That you've derived

One chance not to fight, and be free of
Violent thoughts and violent acts
"I'm important to me"
People needing to be noticed

Satisfaction's guaranteed
Got a point to prove?
You're bored and insecure
I feel pity

Inside sneer
Words are silence
Faulty pleasures
You're now forsaken

This could be the last time I tell you
Too many years, too many times I walked away
Forever's wasted - in a revealing light
But when I find you, you'll pray and wish for help

You rushed in, you must be blind
To feel insulted by
Words from your head
That you've derived

Torn tattered stem
Seal the falsified
Thoughts that enlighten
Your own kind

One chance not to fight, and be free of
Violent thoughts and violent acts
"I'm important to me"
People needing to be noticed

Satisfaction's guaranteed
Got a point to prove?
You're bored and insecure
I feel pity

You rushed in, you must be blind
To feel insulted by
Words from your head
That you've derived

Torn tattered stem
Seal the falsified
Thoughts that enlighten
Your own kind

07. Your Final Seconds

I see a waste of life
Taken in the darkness of night
I saw all that I needed
To let go is never easy

All of this time, I have thought that
I must have known more than you
Now I stand here feeling my loss
Feeling the hurt, feeling pain

Suppressed feelings never surface
Never needed them to show
All the sadness, draped upon me
Now its time to let it go

Burn the decomposing flesh
That is left behind me
Now that I'm alone
I must have to deal with death

Fear....The unknown
Why take a life so young

Burn the decomposing flesh
That is left behind me
Now that I'm alone
I must have to deal with death

All of this time, I have thought that
I must have known more than you
Now I stand here feeling my loss
Feeling the hurt, feeling pain

Suppressed feelings never surface
Never needed them to show
All the sadness, draped upon me
Now its time to let it go

Burn the decomposing flesh
That is left behind me
Now that I'm alone
I must have to deal with death

All of this time, I have thought that
I must have known more than you
Now I stand here feeling my loss
Feeling the hurt, feeling pain

Suppressed feelings never surface
Never needed them to show
All the sadness, draped upon me
Now its time to let it go

08. Harvesting A Loved One

1 owner, hardly used
Low mileage
Medical records
No refunds or exceptions
Her spine is in very good condition

$6000 for her eyes

Taken from the earth
I'm severing your throat
Don't wake
Cutting up your corpse
To sell on to others

Credit cards are swiped, now
Sell your body parts
It's OK
How else can we make a living?

I'll take the parts and dismember
The lower limbs and all that you desire
It's like cutting a potato
Peeling the skin and tearing the rest off

An arm here, body there
On offer to the highest bidder
We're shipping straight to you
At the standard rates

Would you sell the parts of someone
That you loved and cared for
Only to find them on someone else?

A single body
A forearm and hand

Taken from the earth
I'm severing your throat
Don't wake
Cutting up your corpse
To sell on to others

Credit cards are swiped, now
Sell your body parts
It's OK
How else can we make a living?

I'll take the parts and dismember
The lower limbs and all that you desire
It's like cutting a potato
Peeling the skin and tearing the rest off

An arm here, body there
On offer to the highest bidder
We're shipping straight to you
At the standard rates

Would you sell the parts of someone
That you loved and cared for
Only to find them on someone else?

09. Internal Examination

Washing up to prepare for the night
Resigned to the blood
A physician tries to learn
There's no glory, it's haunting

I saw such a thing
All those years ago
Bodies torn
Till the hurt that they've known is gone

With a bit of soap
It's just a dangerous façade
Watching him shake
Frightened of the blade

Straighten the blade
I beckon
Not taught the right way

Washing up to prepare for the night
Resigned to the blood
A physician tries to learn
There's no glory, it's haunting

I saw such a thing
All those years ago
Bodies torn
Till the hurt that they've known is gone

With a bit of soap
It's just a dangerous façade
Watching him shake
Frightened of the blade

10. Spare Parts

Watching the mind
Destroyed I'm disheartened
Resigned to drop dead
(It) Begins in my grave

Face me, face to face
I've lots to tell you
I've known for years about this
Those who walked away
Shaped their minds for nothing

Looking, searching for my body parts
Viewing you all from a place not so far
A small warning
I did not sign up for this
What have you done?
To what was once me

Looking, searching for my body parts
Viewing you all from a place not so far
A small warning
I did not sign up for this
What have you done?
To what was once me

Watching the mind
Destroyed I'm disheartened
Resigned to drop dead
(It) Begins in my grave

Face me, face to face
I've lots to tell you
I've known for years about this
Those who walked away
Shaped their minds for nothing

Face me, face to face
I've lots to tell you
I've known for years about this
Those who walked away
Shaped their minds for nothing

Looking, searching for my body parts
Viewing you all from a place not so far
A small warning
I did not sign up for this
What have you done?
To...
