Coiled forever in the darkness below
They await for the right time to strike Defending the truth and protecting the lies Reptilian shedding their skin They gather in masses encrypting the stars To breed slaves sworn to war The thrashing and bashing and blistering burns Death brought forth to the world Serpent's eyes always watching you Without a trace, the covenant of the snake Succumbing unto your fate, they've been watching you Through shape shift eyes in Sumerian disguise By the gods who decree our fate By the gods who decree our fate De-luvium religions of monarchs and gods The hideous hydra takes shape The bloodline descendants of it's original form The dragon of Egypt awakes They've taken the tablets and hidden the scrolls To deceive the ones they protect The truth of creation, mutation of man Entombed in the Vatican walls Serpent's eyes always watching you Without a trace, the covenant of the snake Succumbing unto your fate, they've been watching you Through shape shift eyes in Sumerian disguise By the gods who decree our fate By the gods who decree our fate The gods who decree our fate By the gods who decree our fate Now! We are the ones who dominate Five thousand years, silent control Societies to subjugate Eternity complete control The brotherhood of the snake And we will always assume control! 02. The Pale King Music by Peterson Lyrics by Billy
I was awakened by the howling of the dog
Or perhaps a wolf Summoned by the voices who are shouting in my ear The pale king comes from afar Before the time, who will decide I've lived to see one thousand moons I am weak, I am ill I am old with a taste for the kill All that I've seen in the years that I possess The faces I don't recognize Summoning the ancients with the evil that awaits Reading from the book of the dead Zone of the Gods, below the sea I've traveled amongst the stars I am life, I am death I control the gates of this world The pale kings reign, condemns this world Their doing time till the end of there lives Falling, traveling through out this world Falling, fallen from the skies Taken from the prophecy as they control your mind The pale kings hold your fate One hundred thousand years and counting One hundred thousand million more to go Throughout his life he keeps on searching The pale king makes this world his own And the seals of these are written herein Yet others I must take with me The spirit of Daemon no longer known Anu have mercy on my soul 03. Stronghold Music by Peterson Lyrics by Billy
Elected to the show and our freedom never knows

Seven Seals Music by Peterson Lyrics by Billy
Prophecy was written in the pages of old
What will these words reveal Locked away and hidden until the end of time The only way to open is to break all the seals Revelation tells us, weep not behold For the lion of Judah prevails Christ wins the fight with Satan the devil He alone can now open the book from the seals Till the end of time as it was written It's the end of the line, let it be done This chapter will tell us of the crisis on earth The beginning of a birth of a new age First seal reveals false prophet will ride The second seal leads us to war Till the end of time as it was written It's the end of the line, let it be done The third seal will break let the famine begins The pestilence comes from the fourth As the rest of them break, you hear sounds from the heavens Cries from the trumpets sound out Till the end of time as it was written It's the end of the line, let it be done Step by step, the horseman will ride Beware as false God deceives Step by step when the white horse arrives Christ wields his sword to the sky Step by step by step, Christ comes wearing his crown As the tales came to pass at the end of the world The signs would come to be true As a voice in the midst would speak of the beast What was told will only bring death As the tales came to pass at the end of the world The signs would come to be true As a voice in the midst would speak of the beast What was told will only bring death Till the end of time as it was written It's the end of the line, let it be done Step by step, the horseman will ride Beware as false God deceives Step by step when the white horse arrives Christ wields his sword to the sky Step by step by step, Christ comes wearing his crown 05. Born In A Rut Music by Peterson Lyrics by Billy
Born in a rut, raised to love abuse
No innocence, never needed an excuse To lie and cheat, the word on the street Is just I am just no good, right? (Yeah, I know I'm not right, but I just don't care) Now I won't budge, keep your hands off me Less you hear is the less that I believe I still lie and cheat the word on the street And yes, I'm no good, right? Hey you, don't tell me what to believe Hey you, I wear my heart on my sleeve Hey you, I am the way that I seem Hey you, you never listen to me I don't really give a damn I was born to lose I will not live forever I don't need no excuse The day I die, no tears be cried 'Cause this what I choose This tragedy is my destiny There's nothing I can do (Yeah, I know I still got problems, but I just don't care, right?) I don't really give a damn I was born to lose I will not live forever I don't need no excuse The day I die, no tears be cried 'Cause this what I choose This tragedy is my destiny There's nothing I can do 06. Centuries Of Suffering Music by Peterson Lyrics by Billy
Starting at the dawn of time, violence played its role
The male, the alpha, number one has controlled the tribe Sticks and stones were used to kill, then moved on to blades of steel Let the bodies lie, let the bloody bodies lie Through the ages war sustained Our final stand, unholy grail Centuries, centuries of suffering Centuries, centuries of blood Weapons played a major part in the fall of those who fought The evolution of the kill, more precision more refined Desperate stages, chaos reigns A worthless man, you die impaled Centuries, centuries of suffering Centuries, centuries of blood Centuries, centuries of punishment Centuries, centuries of suffering What will be the final answer Release the missile, drop the bombs Mother earth lies devastated Hallowed ground gets decimated After all, every thing we do As man evolves, so do the weapons used Our world demise, centuries of suffering Please tell me your final answer Release the missile, drop the bombs Mother earth lies devastated Please no more... 07. Neptune's Spear Music by Peterson & Alex Skolnick Lyrics by Billy
So goddamn long, we've been searching
Why has it taken so long An open mind is a weapon Loaded and keeping it strong The answer might be a question Got my sights set to kill Never asking for permission We always do, as we will One shot kill One shot kill One shot kill One shot kill Kill! Undercover infiltration Target has been secured The destiny of a nation Identity confirmed Calling for action, we know just what to do Deadly extraction, the body count, not few And through the blood shed, the innocence consumed There's no place to hide, our sights are set on you One bird is wounded, how bad we can't tell Secure the compound and gather intel The clock is ticking, our mission is clear Nothing can ever stop Neptune's spear So goddamn long, we've been searching 'Cause what he did was so wrong He couldn't hide behind deception No longer run from us all The final step of the mission We got the green light to kill The target's now in position Shoot, fire at will One shot kill One shot kill One shot kill One shot kill 08. Black Jack Music by Peterson Lyrics by Billy
Life, dismantle your life piece by piece
Winning the hand while still losing the bet Even with an Ace up your sleeve Rolling, snake eyes are poison to me Gamble your life with a toss of the dice The rush is all that I need Stakes are high, and so am I You bet your life on the line No lady luck on my side It's heads you win and tails you lose It's heads you win in the city of sin Life, spinning your life on the wheel The joker is wild with a black grin he smiles The gamble is still worth the risk Stakes are high, and so am I You bet your life on the line No lady luck on my side It's heads you win and tails you lose Aces high, and so am I They're watching you from the eye I got the Aces so I double down Where's lady luck, she ain't around Life, a gambler's life haunting me Seven eleven, I still cannot win Snake eyes just won't me be Stakes are high, and so am I You bet your life on the line No lady luck on my side It's heads you win and tails you lose Aces high, and so am I They're watching you from the eye I got the Aces so I double down Where's lady luck, she ain't around It's heads you win in the city of sin 09. Canna-Business Music by Peterson & Skolnick Lyrics by Billy
Now that the government have woken up and cleared their eyes
They're getting tolerant for medicine that's growing wild Canna-business is away of life Healing the sick while all the rest get high Canna-business is living for the dream Stoned world order is bringing in the green Now that society is smoking up what's legalized America profiting 'cause cannabis is not a crime Canna-business is a sign of the times Changing the law so the sick remain alive Canna-business, let the truth be told Hybrid medicine, waiting to be rolled Now that society is smoking up what's legalized America profiting 'cause cannabis is not a crime Grown from the earth, we plant the money tree For all it's worth, let canna-business set you free (Smoke 'em if you got 'em) (A stoned world order) 10. The Number Game Music by Peterson Lyrics by Billy
Enthralled by the thirst, thoughts of a deviant man
Intoxified, thoughts of taking life No live are mourned, no cares, nothing more Two worlds collide with innocence and hatred Fourteen days and fourteen lives Random victims are my prey 13 dead unlucky strike So many more... Under the pain, I hear the distant cries Suffocation of my thoughts, haunted by the 14 lives The dead are always taunting me, my killing spree will show Your life will now depend on the number that you pull Fourteen days and fourteen lives Random victims are my prey 12 still live, so 12 must die I'm on a roll Fourteen days and fourteen lives Random victims are my prey 11 gone, 10 crucified Who's next to go 9 bodies found today, 8 was yesterday And as we down the count, 7 was there for me I look for 6 today and 5 tomorrow pays And no one ever seems to get away From my pain, my number game From my insane, number game The blood will rain in my number game The numbers lost, the number game The numbers lost Fourteen days and fourteen lives Random victims are my prey The number 4 was an easy score Number 3 lived next door Fourteen days and fourteen lives Random victims are my prey Number 2 was next in line I'm on a roll Fourteen days and fourteen lives Random victims are my prey Down to one there is no more In 14 days are 14 dead |
