Accept the laws of destiny, mirage of a twisted fantasy
To realise what came before, was just the passing of a cause So with rapture burning, indignation churning Leaves an acerbic state of mind All in your mind Purge the hypocrites That are your enemies Masquerade of faith Sucking dry on the bones of wisdom Caustic words are your defence, to justify incompetence How it must smart when you're alone and face the truth you've always known Ingratiate yourself, save face and nothing else When it's over vilify Hands to the sky Purge... So one and the same Devoid of dignity In plague of conscience now Propagate their fantasy and fail Exact the caustic tyranny, chalice of human misery In weak defence of hopeless cause, but lethargy was all you brought Malign through scorn abundance You've always been the hunted Now your sentence takes its toll Into the void Purge... So one... 02. Six Feet Under the Gun
Your conceited doctrines burned, all your principles you spurned
Because in truth they were not their, another costume that you wear The bitterness burns at you But a lie is never the truth A supercilious facade to hide the weakness that's at heart In spite the reason that belies the wretched traits you die to hide The servant was born to betray as the light is sure to fade All at once it crashes down In this mire you will drown To the sound of your own voice Six feet under the gun All the bridges that you burned Opportunities you spurned All come crashing down on you Six feet under the gun Such a tangled web we weave In the practice of deceit For too long we were ensnared Six feet under the gun As it unravels 'for your eyes Only silence nullifies Sanctimonious denial Six feet under the gun Your burning need to hold the floor, to perpetrate the caricature And in sarcastic false riposte malfunction in senseless loss The fantasy swallows you When you've bitten off more that you can chew All at once... 03. Carnival of Souls
Indentured now as servants trapped beneath the weight
Bone crushing reality that snared the hand of fate Saviours to soldiers all are perilous in mind To starve a nation yet and pander to its pride Concealed within Apathy routine And yet we preach Can you believe that people never thought of asking? What more do we forfeit when scared of the unmasking Concealed within Apathy routine And yet we preach Dead as the prophets warning Drowned in the same mire In carnival of souls We march to expire Broken the wreckage points to constant self renewal So treat the symptoms once more, blind to the fall Concealed within Apathy routine And yet we preach Dead as the prophets warning Drowned in the same mire In carnival of souls We march to expire And through the degradation Passed by a single cause This through control is reason Enslaved forevermore 04. In Thought Alone
Drift in darkness
Whispering of light Afraid of reason You hold what's in sight Holding the cross we bare Striking us unaware Losing faith all over Selling the score At first light they're coming To reap the unrewarding All will bow unquestioned To shelter the harbinger Soul lies, evermore War in the sanctuary Soul tires, marching on Resistance in thought alone In thought alone In thought alone Thinking aloud Denouncing deceit Cynical logic Refutes the truth I speak Holding the cross we bare Striking us unaware Losing faith all over Selling the score At first... Soul lies... In thought alone In thought alone 05. All Seeing I
You speak more than you think
And think less than anyone believes Inert futility This numbing paradox that screams Where is sympathy You spat in the face of opportunity Then with bold audacity Pointed the finger right at me The coward in you runs So spineless afraid of all you see Infant stupidity Concealing shallowness to hide Lost in apathy Or left in the dust of mediocrity Faced with cold reality Another slave to cast away Now wonder why As you reach for the sky On a wave of your own self importance you ride Beg for forgiveness to those that you scorn The all seeing I has you down to the core To the core You speak more than you think And think less than many will perceive Attest misanthropy This numbing apathy that breeds Where is sympathy You spat in the face of opportunity Then with bold audacity Pointed the finger right at me Pointed the finger right at me Now wonder why... 06. Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt
In the void between conscious thought
Where susceptible your mind is bought And through the web of conscience The perpetrators slip In freedom from the known You'll see the truth Beyond a shadow of a doubt... Ans as the light creates the dark you fear These perceptions have to be adhered The timeless sense of logic That breaks wicked cause It seems has been forgotten Inertia trade Beyond a shadow of a doubt... And in the vacuous pursuit of self Where ego burns the truth in stealth And through the web of conscience The perpetrators slip In freedom from the known You'll see the truth Beyond a shadow of a doubt... 07. Architects of Fear
At the zenith of ambition unobstructed
Lays a curse upon mankind De-populate through massive agenda In accordance with the guide Architecture of fear intertwines Reason the enemy Imprison the mind Instilled in the young To eradicate Trivialising Life by mandate And to the ones that wish you gone Without a flicker of remorse In their elitist paradise In judgement they will sacrifice And as a monument to sadist machinations Incremental paradigm These ten commandments of wickedness unrivalled Pave the way for our demise Architecture of fear intertwines Reason the enemy Imprison the mind Instilled in the young To eradicate Trivialising Life by mandate 08. The Accuser
Affliction seething, from the recesses of life
Born out of solitude and cast into the light Shadows burning scars in the cross Another penance, another loss Surrouding vacuum forms Forcing all to conform Eternal emptiness the death of shallow life A looking at the curse a changing in reverse Shadows burning scars in the cross Another penance, another loss Surrouding vacuum forms Forcing all to conform In the purge of heavens law Un-saintly dirge contorts Souls scream in agony And die in heresy Signs of dismay Paid fortune, all the same Storm bringing darkness wakes the souls of enmity The sorrow pacifies all those that should not be Shadows burning scars in the cross Another penance, another loss Surrouding vacuum forms Forcing all to conform In the purge of heavens law Un-saintly dirge contorts Souls scream in agony And die in heresy 09. Shadowbound
Trade the lives of the powerless for the sport of mortal men
Blackened wisdom hails their cries for uninformed repent Greed is the drug, the addiction is power Afflicting the throng for the profit of empire Enact the rites of hypocrisy for the scourge of relevance Set in motion worlds apart all the herds of mindless men Like cattle the herd are sent to their slaughter The failure of freedom to counter the order Without reason torn apart As the faceless play their part Another face to sell the score Another mask to hide the cause Face the shadowbound Working underground Decide without a sound How our lives unravel Trade the lives of the ignorant a collateral in blood Falsify this paradigm to render all brain dead Soulless inaction the root of the cause The fallout of judgement that senses the fall There's only worth if you believe The only value's what you see Yet things get lost behind a price of superficial edifice Face the shadowbound Working underground Decide without a sound How our lives unravel 10. The Mask of Anarchy
Waging wars of liberty, under a veil of secrecy
In procession it arrived, one by one and side by side To stamp out the sense of will, dead earth upon dead earth we till Until in union we praise, thou art god and king and grace On a white horse it arrived Expressionless like one deprived He is anarchy no less And on his brow the shadow rests Trampling over English land Blood of the commoner on hand And in the blood swept deluge claim The right to govern in its name What is slavery you could tell? To tast freedom and taste well Yet when its very name has grown a mere echo of its own And forced upon this forgery, this life blood of society A measure of what you believe, no more value than you see It is to be a slave in soul and to hold no strong control Over your own wills but be all that others make you see And so accept the consequence behind the walls of our defence Afraid to see beyond the mask in the final blood stained task In the hour of the dark, a cornered hunter bares his mark Cast into the abyss, screaming whirlwinds cry sadness I cannot see, I cannot feel, only anger rising Like a cancer spreading now, lonely life subsiding I am frozen emotion gone in the pandemonium All is lost all is spent, lost inside and hiding Rise like lions after slumber In un vanquish able number Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you You are many they are few You are many they are few |
