The greed compels you to sell your soul for wealth
Blinded by materialistic and selfish veiws With not a moment to spare, you wish your life away again So let the darkness consume you You tied the rope yourself And what you really want isn't always what you'll get With not a moment to spare, I watch you sign your life away Be careful what you wish for lest it comes true Punished for his temptation The Mdas touch finally opened his eyes I watch events unfold The curse of the touch of gold So you get what you ask for, an unspoken truth Money can't buy you everything, especially respect With not a moments haste Your world comes crashing down on you Be careful what you wish for lest it comes true Punished for his temptation The Mdas touch finally opened his eyes Reverse this and siperse this An overwhelmin sense of regret Another liar to rely on, what more else can you expect? Awaken from this trance pull yourself together Engage your mind, remove all fantasy I watch events unfold The curse, of the touch of gold Be careful what you wish for lest it comes true Punished for his temptation The Mdas touch finally opened his eyes 02. Abandon Hope
Cross me once, more fool me
Cross me twice and you bleed No time for morals my reputation intact I'm still here when you're not looking I may lay dormant My guard is never down Betray everything again I have to pick up the pieces of everything you've lost A shadow casts across my face I'm already forgotten The limelight shifts and no one hears my voice I've gone and lost my way, searching for some guidance The shadow moves The light burns my eyes So fickle I can't please everyone I'll do what I want Right now my enemies kept close to the edge of a knife Betray everything again I have to pick up the pieces of everything you've lost Again I'm cast, I'm cast so far away Reaching for answers I'm blind to Abandon hope Now all hope is lost, I've failed you Again I'm cast, I'm cast so far away Reaching for answers I'm blind to Abandon hope 03. An Architect Of Your Demise
Come to terms with what you are
Ultimately you've failed yourself You make your own luck in this world That's something you're short on That's your problem now Nothing from me, you're on your own Thank you for nothing So walk your own mile, and see how far it is I've come Ohhh, Here is a self made man, so it can be done You are an architect of your own demise Use a mirror as a tool it's now time to reflect my friend I've carried you this far I owe you nothing more You can't stop that burning, that feeling Embarrassed by everything you've done Now your stomach churns That sickness, you feel it Resented by everything you love You can't live like this Ohhh, Here is a self made man, so it can be done You are an architect of your own demise Why won't you wake up When will you see what I see Ohhh, Here is a self made man, so it can be done You are an architect of your own demise 04. End Of Days
Our death comes from above a sight for all to witness
We all knew that this day would come but we prayed it wouldn't Clouds of destruction mask the sun Every action has a reaction And the brightness blind me Fills me with misery And everyone will suffer, and everyone will suffer The ground it opens up and it swallows us whole There's no time to think yet our sins we repent And now our bodies return to the earth It's time to give back what we took And the brightness blind me Fills me with misery And everyone will suffer, and everyone will suffer End of days Tried for the crimes of a generation It's too late for excuses We're already dead Her vengeance rains down a population helpless Our whole world turns to dust, some say we deserve it We've bitten the hand that kindly feeds Our smile on existence And the brightness blind me Fills me with misery And everyone will suffer, and everyone will suffer 05. Human Portrait
Here we have hell in the purist form
The chain of command breaks, no longer in control This is my major weakness, I care to too much sometimes I only trust my judgement, I'm just determined I know I'm far from perfect, old habits die hard I'm desperate to prove myself to everyone I'm human after all I'll be the first to admit, I sometimes interfere I promise you it's only because I care I'm not here to glorify myself, this is a kind of confession I need to get this off my chest, so I can breathe again I'm aware that it happens, it's my obsession I know I'm far from perfect, old habits die hard I'm desperate to prove myself to everyone I'm human after all I'll paint a perfect picutre of myself today It's my time to reflect It's my time to see To reflect on myself, the colour surrounds me I watch in despair It's time to look at myself Assess the situation, hightlight my weakness Sometimes I need to let go Take a step further back now I can't let this fall apart This means too much to me now It's my obsession I know I'm far from perfect, old habits die hard I'm desperate to prove myself to everyone I'm human after all 06. As I Bleed
As the birth of a new day touches my skin I inhale deeply
I feel so alive Contempt in my existence, ready for another challenge With a broad set of shoulders I'll take on the world Watch me bleed for you I'm getting closer than I've been before Watch me bleed for you I'm getting closer than I've been before We'll get there in the end I'm not ashamed of who I am I've learnt my lessons the hard way A man that dwells, is a man that fails It's not about who's right or wrongs, it's about your happiness I have a desire to make you proud Watch me bleed for you I'm getting closer than I've been before Watch me bleed for you I'm getting closer than I've been before We'll get there in the end Bleeding for you, waiting for resolve I need to do something for myself, once and for all The waves come crashing down I'm knocked straight off my feet With no body in sight, I'll pick myself up It's the same old story, a shoulder to cry on The roles reverse, I'm left to rot Watch me bleed for you I'm getting closer than I've been before Watch me bleed for you I'm getting closer than I've been before We'll get there in the end 07. When Embers Ignite
As embers ignite in my soul
I feel so fucking helpless Today's like any day, nothing's ever straight forward Another tailed plan, another sacrifice They pull together to bring me down And it feels like that nothing changes I can't stop these feelings inside of me I can not dull them The walls come crashing in The chaos repeats I walk a tightrope now, wait for me to fall Another friendly face, strips me of dignity A vicious circle rolls around, and around, and around They pull together to bring me down And it feels like that nothing changes I can't stop these feelings inside of me I can not dull them The walls come crashing in The chaos repeats Hear these words, I speak from the heart Embers fall, the fire ignites They pull together to bring me down And it feels like that nothing changes I can't stop these feelings inside of me I can not dull them The walls come crashing in The chaos repeats 08. Retribution
A simple act of destruction, where did logic go
You coward, no pity for fools No thought for your victims, running for their lives Your gum, your choice, paint the town fucking red The blueprint for death perfectly constucted A quick end for most, an easy way out Another man made solution, a purpose built retribution The voices in our head, can be a danger to us all Don't let them speak for you, don't let them speak for you A punishment, your silence now speak volumes You cannot think, you cannot feel With a heart already dead, a predator emerges Your gun, your choice, pain the town fucking red The blueprint for death perfectly constucted A quick end for most, an easy way out Another man made solution, a purpose built retribution The voices in our head, can be a danger to us all Don't let them speak for you, don't let them speak for you These evil faces lurk dep inside the mind of everyone These evil faces lurk dep inside the mind of all of us These evil faces lurk dep inside the mind of everyone These evil faces lurk dep inside the mind of everyone From man to monster with evil intent All innocence is lost, driven to violnce A punishment for all those times, that no one ever listened Your gun, your choice, paint the town fucking red Paint the town fucking red The voices in our head, can be a danger to us all Don't let them speak for you, don't let them speak for you 09. Hatred Justified
There's mass disbelief as our capital shook
With ample warning none of which was taken Are we the ones to blame, but that's hardly the point Conspiracies forgotten and heroes shine Hate justified Take some time to remember the lives that were lost Our spirit's been broken now, but our hearts remain the same And the scenes from this day paint a perfect picture of us Hatred justified, hatred justified Hundreds of meters beneath our feet Our people subjected to absolute horror Praing they'll wake up that his was just a bad dream A nation looks on in dibelief Hate justified Take some time to remember the live that were lost Our spirit's been broken now, but our hearts remain the same And the scenes from this day paint a perfect picture of us Hatred justified, hatred justified Lining up running away As the tunnels consume them Chased by a fires embrace A polluted atmosphere Our spirit's been broken now, but our hearts remain the same And the scenes from this day paint a perfect picture of us Hatred justified, hatred justified Against all the odds, heroes shine Right to the end, united as one |
