You can die screaming
Or you can give me what I want I'm gonna get it, get it either way And I can't let it be Viciously Relentless pursuit of vengeance And I won't let it be Viciously Impaled You all shall hail You're just a bag of blood and I'm holding the nail You gotta believe, you gotta believe Impaled And I never fail You're just a bag of blood and I'm holding the nail You gotta believe, you gotta believe You're slowly dying There's no more lying I'm not your friend I never was I work alone And I won't let it go 'cause you're so Brutal I In your refusal I just won't let it be Viciously Impaled The holy grail Your goddamned soul is my white whale You gotta believe, you gotta believe Impaled And you all shall hail You're just a bag of blood and I'm holding the nail You gotta believe, you gotta believe in me In the small numbers when order sleeps and the streets are mine It's a time and a place where I can thrive And burn you with my demon eye In my life the things I've seen Inhumanly brutal the worst extreme I torture me because I can Obscene the soul of every man In my life the things I've seen Inhumanly brutal the worst extreme I torture you because I can I've seen the soul of every man is fucking damned to a fate And dead if you don't And damned if you do And dead if you won't Impaled 02. Monster At The End
Do you think that you're worth anything?
Do you think that you had everything? Or was it just another dream With a monster at the end Promised you'd get what you want But instead you're getting what you need This ain't just another dream With a monster at the end Down and under where the damned are riding Down and under where you pay Your golden halo is burned and melted Crown the monster at the end The wall of sleep is crumbling And your conscience is left fumbling A massive sleeping serpent Uncoiled and awake In this place, this sun-bleached Hell Your sins were yours no angel fell A monster hiding in plain sight It's the monster at the end It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming The monster is unleashed Now that crown is on your head You're that monster at the end It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming Down and under where the damned are riding Down and under where you pay Your golden halo is burned and melted Crown the monster at the end Crown the monster at the end It's coming, it's coming, It's coming, it's coming 03. For All Kings
For all kings committed
For all kings old and new Young blood of the old blood For all kings are through My insides pulled front to back Nothing is solved in this act Teaches you what humanity lacks Compassion and empathy Everything tears at, tears away at all else And all the darkness, inside of my world breathes And I can't leave When the noise is gone you're there Through the storm our souls laid bare Given all beyond too much The strongest love lifts me up As my sky turns black, turns black as if asleep The king is dead so Long live the man in me, by divine right I'd do anything, with all my power brings I'd do anything To save you I'd do anything 04. Breathing Lightning
I have walked this world and back now
Too many times to count or stop, how? Time is nothing, slow and focused I stalk this land with just one purpose A deal made the second that you choose to force my will An extension of my hand with the intent to kill by the white Lightning You always have the chance to do the right thing Until the right thing comes undone And with a thunderclap I'm breathing lightning And this world has moved on My body broken there's no quit My will intact and I can't stop it Hearts and minds can see the end Until it all happens again Like so many before you, you'll see what death will bring After me there's no one else, no angels there to sing just the white Lightning I look inside myself is this the right thing? Is this the right thing, I don't know Like so many before you, we'll see what death will bring, can you hear the angels sing? Do you hear the angels sing? Like so many before you, I'd do anything, just to hear the angels sing, Just to hear the angels sing I look inside myself is this the right thing? Is this the right thing, I don't know 05. Suzerain
It's everything, what's wrong with it?
It's everything, what's wrong with us? Null, rictus grin, beyond death And it's after Me, so insane, suzerain And he's calling Nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over Come see, with me as everything turns Nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is solved it only starts over You'll see with me as everything burns What comes after What comes after me A history, of love and pain In this story it's all the same Void, rictus grin, stand in sin Rule the rulers Blood, on the plains, suzerain And he's screaming You'll see with me as everything burns Nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over I'll be set free, free from this memory What comes after What comes after me Nothing is over, nothing is over You'll see with me as everything burns Nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over I'll be set free, free from this memory What comes after, what comes after me 06. Evil Twin
Ideology used as a weapon with lines that cut so deeply to the truth
Your head's on the clock and still you threaten A wretched way of life for those that choose and abuse Believe, nothing worth believing in Believe, stand for nothing care for nothing Believe, empty words a false doctrine Blooded in your holy word's goal Look what you did so fucking sick it's what you did The evil twin of devotion then now you're dead You represent your discontent slaughtering the innocent Insolence, you're no martyrs The arrogance to reinvent The holy words their meanings bent Evil twins, you're no martyrs Refuse and resist dictated terror Fighting a war with both feet in Savage that our planet is the venue For a festival of massacres Believe, nothing worth believing in Believe, stand for nothing care for nothing Believe, empty words a false doctrine Blooded in your holy word's goal Look what you did so fucking sick it's what you did The evil twin of devotion and now you're dead You represent your discontent slaughtering the innocent Insolence, you're no martyrs The arrogance to reinvent The holy words their meanings bent Evil twins, you're no martyrs Broke and sickened by the senseless atrocity And repulsion for this old world reality Forcing fear to dominate Hate a loaded gun When in doubt, have no doubt Death has just begun You represent your discontent slaughtering the innocent Insolence, you're no martyrs The arrogance to reinvent The holy words their meanings bent Evil twins, you're no martyrs 07. Blood Eagle Wings
Everything's been said, walk among the dead, you can see my crimes, this is my design
There's no right or wrong, it's the same old song, just keeps pounding me, hits so hard Hell is empty, 'cause all my demons are here Ever so deadly, hit so hard Darkness in my soul is taking hold and becoming Break me from this hold as I unfold blood eagle wings Darkness in my soul is taking hold and becoming Break me from this hold as I unfold blood eagle wings My whole world built on, bodies dead and gone, you ignored the signs, That was my design And the loneliness, hits so hard in this, grey place that exists, in my mind I ask you Why, why fight everything? Why can't you accept it? You can never stop it And I don't want to try A weak half measured lie I'd rather see it die I'd rather see it die I showed you Why Why fight everything? Not what you expected? Your dystopian epic Of memories are a lie I don't have to try Unfold your wings and fly I'd rather see it die I'd rather see it die I show you I ask you I show you Darkness in my soul is taking hold and becoming I ask you Break me from this hold as I unfold blood eagle wings I show you Darkness in my soul is taking hold and becoming I ask you Break me from this hold as I unfold blood eagle wings 08. Defend/Avenge
Waking on a bed of nails
Dying wind through shredded sails Can you hear me when I shout And nobody knows what I'm talking about What can I do? I'm trying to figure it out Right here right now Teaching me how Kill all the ends it's your cold black revenge Mark my words Defend avenge Break till it bends it's a means to an end Defend avenge You're all gonna get what you fuckin' deserve Defend avenge Your indifference abounds Everywhere fence-sitting clowns Harvesting the seeds of doubt And nobody knows what I'm talking about Defend avenge 09. All Of Them Thieves
Why, I will destroy everything
Why, I'll tear your world apart An honest hand, a shaking fist Behind your back Recidivist And punishment Your drug addicts Brought low with shame and Cut off at the wrist Why, I will destroy everything Why, I'll tear your world apart All of, all of them thieves All of, all of them thieves Lied to cheated beat and deceived Scarred mistreated a wicked conceit An evil born of larceny All of, all of them thieves Despicable, your motive screams Vile contempt An insane dream A lowlife play And now you're stuck A bankrupt pig with no one left to suck All of, all of them thieves All of, all of them thieves This dead hand you gave to me All of, all of them thieves This dead hand you gave to me All of, all of them thieves 10. This Battle Chose Us
You give them hell
Straight to the chin If you can't win Their hearts and minds On the first try Up and say aye! AYE! They'll listen Fires are raging and the sirens scream And your pathetic life has run out of road If you were offered eternity Would it slip through your fingers to wicked to hold? Rebel Backslider Reach higher You give them hell You give them Hell this ain't no warning You give 'em hell because you must It's a long hard road we're walking Because this battle chose us This battle chose us, this battle chose us A gang of blood And by killing so distilling A simple plan Never settle our true mettle Yeah! They'll listen Fires are raging and the sirens scream And your pathetic life has run out of road If you were offered eternity Would it slip through your fingers to wicked to hold? Hell, you give them hell You can't choose your battles, you can't choose your battles, this battle chose us You give 'em hell This battle chose us, you can't choose your battles Battle! 11. Zero Tolerance
The truth of humanity is far from insane
It's focused, it's cruel, it's heartbreak and pain As if I needed more reasons to hate A savage decision that's not hard to make Family and friends, dare to threaten what's mine I kill motherfuckers for crossing the line Tighten the noose round my life and I choose Murder and mayhem 'cause I'm worse than you You're lying and I don't believe Your message just so much bullshit You're lying and I have no faith A scab on humanity to be scraped off You're vile and no less obscene Debasing what they find holy Make yourselves right with your God I am I am I am I am (On your knees for) I am fire I am death and Judge you as I see fit Struck down from your bully pulpit Sticking your head on a pike I am I am I am I am (On your knees for) I am fire I am death and No one can take what is mine You're selling delusion as virtue Happily suffering the fools Murder and mayhem 'cause I'm worse than you I am I am I am I am I am fire I am death and I am fire I am death and Humans kill each other and so often for every reason there is including none Extreme school, inhuman rule, brutality nowhere to run And on the day you meet your god what will he say? Zero tolerance for extremism - in the name of religion Zero tolerance for racial hate - no police state Zero tolerance for politicians - on the left and the right Zero tolerance for killing children - what would your god say to that motherfuckers? I am fire I am death and I am fire I am death I'm out |
