The blood drips from your nose
With every lie you told And with all you took from me You're begging for insanity Thought I died in my sleep last night It's just wishful thinking The pain build behind my eyes So I will just keep on drinking No wrong or right Just wasting your life Fading into sleep The patterns all repeat As you hide inside your lies Inside your lies! My demise! Something you'll never know A secret left untold I'd rather let you down Then ever let you go! The darkness never seems to stop It's constantly creeping No more light, no more lies Deeper into hell I'm sinking No wrong or right Just wasting your life Fading into sleep The patterns all repeat As you hide inside your lies Inside your lies! My demise! As we wash the blood away Day breaks on another day Wasting your life No wrong or right, fading into sleep 03. Still I Rise
Stop searching the sky for answers
And look within Our greatest gift Is the life we are given This is the price you pay For throwing your whole life away How can you know yourself When your world is just a lie Still I rise! From the ashes Look Inside Search for meaning Truth cannot survive I feel the hate inside you I watch it burn You heard the warnings But you, you never learned This is the price you pay For throwing your whole life away How can you know yourself When your world is just a lie Still I rise! From the ashes Look inside Search for meaning Truth will not survive Watch it burn The hate inside you No return Ignore the warning signs 04. War
Until the philosophy
That holds one Race superior And another inferior Is finally and Permanently discredited And abandoned There will be... War! In the east War in the west War! Up north And in the south Prepare for war! Until the color of a man's skin Is no more significant Then the color of his eye There will be war... There will be war... War! In the east War in the west War! Up north And in the south Prepare for war! Prepare for war! Prepare for war! And until that day The world will not know peace We will fight if necessary And win this war... And win this war... Prepare for war! 05. King Of Nothing
It was gone before you ever had a chance
Lost forever in your disapproving glance I see your face It's twisted with shock Falling from grace You deserve what you got The ice surrounds you now You can pretend all that you want I've seen the pain And all of the evil you brought Quit you're fucking crying And swallow all your pills You're not the only one With the urge to kill Grab the dusty bottle And let the liquor spill Devoid of life Death is your final thrill Bloodshot eyes can see Right through the selfish lies Search forever for a fix that keeps your high I see your face It's twisted with shock Falling from grace You deserve what you got My hands around your throat You can pretend all that you want I've seen the pain And all of the evil you brought I am the king of nothing, over emptiness I reign Drown with sorrow Wash away the pain 06. The Taste Of Fear
Slave to your seduction
Open myself to sweet destruction Pray for your affection Still I welcome this rejection Tear it down Into ruins It comes around The taste of fear When I see your face it haunts me The cold embrace, deceiving Surrounded by misery It's become to easy For someone like you to lie Always searching For a better way to say goodbye It's so hard to listen The hateful words you've always written All the lives you taken All the people you've forsaken It's become so easy For someone like you to lie Always searching For a better way to say goodbye The taste of fear The only thing that gets you high With no regrets I will let this feeling die 07. Embrace Annihilation
Embrace the end
As we descend Deeper into the fire The pain that you feel The nightmare is reeling you in Grasping, crawling, clinging to life Holding on to illusions Tearing, feeding, tasting the blood As you savor the killing Welcome, welcome to the apocalypse A twisted smile upon the Devil's lips Strike out the sun Winter's begun Bringing the death of desire Shatter the seal The horsemen of doom ride again Grasping, crawling, clinging to life Holding on to illusions Tearing, feeding, tasting the blood As you savor the killing Welcome, welcome to the apocalypse A twisted smile upon the Devil's lips Embracing Embrace annihilation Embracing Embrace annihilation 08. Picture Perfect
I watch it all collapse
It never seems to last As long as I need it to A beautiful mistake A wound without a trace Was it ever really true? We can't see the future We can't rewrite the past Tried to hold it captive But it faded all too fast Is it much too late To save yourself? Memories keep calling Deeper into fear I'm falling Lost within my mind it haunts me for so long Trapped beneath the glass Never a shadow cast A perfect picture's all I knew Lost within the struggle Never felt so much alive Gave into the rapture Didn't care if I survived Is it too much late To save yourself? Memories keep calling Deeper into fear I'm falling Lost within my mind It haunts me for so long All my hope is dying Even though I keep on trying Lost within my mind It haunts me for so long 10. Dead And Gone
The dream inside of me
Is the death inside of you Your indifference breeds indifference Realized way too late That your life was always fake It bends until it breaks Illusions we've forsaken A vision still remains Of a world that's lost and gone insane It's a chance we have to take Our only options Are the ones we create Waiting for this day to come Thought I'd be left for dead But the light still shines ahead The whole world has come undone But we will carry on Until your ways are dead and gone The answers can't be seen When hatred's all you you've been Living life on the offensive See through all the lies Destroy your last disguise Can't let this survive Refuse to compromise When do we place the blame When all our mistakes are all the same Escape the ghosts we left behind And follow me until the end of time |
