Victim of the Void

Brought down by the burden
Of hearing dead men whisper
A lifeless form in the corner of the room
Paralyzed, no one can hear
the screams
I feel as though I'm Choking on my useless tongue
This world around me reeks of mold and rot
This room is not the room I know
This bed knows no comfort
This world is not my own
All I taste is the decay
As life slowly fades
With each panicked breath
The claws are cutting deeper
Peeling away lifeless flesh
(Swallowing my consciousness
Muffled shouts barely escape
From Trembling lips
I can not be awake
Trapped in vivid slumber
I am a slave to the emptiness
I am a victim of the void
Trapped in this purgatory
I suffer
Pray to God, to end this game
To once again be in control
I have found that God is dead
Or is choosing to ignore my pleas
Please hear my cries
Time is running out!
I have never begged to you,
Until cold fingers were wrapped around my throat.
Swallowing my consciousness
I finally break free,
Only once again to fall back into sleep
The Emptiness knows me,
The cycle never ends.
So now I will greet the dark,
As my oldest friend

Burn the flags
Abandon all borders
When blood is spilled for oil
The world will know disorder
Yeah
What did you expect
when you put your guns to our head?
Divide and conquer
Amber waves painted red
Media lies, they segregate
Influential bias chock full of hate
(Left to rot)
Scorn the lowborn
We've been forewarned of tyrannical tendencies
Ever heavenly zealotry
Kill the firstborn
New life adorned
Profits over humanity
We are coming
Nothing you can do to stop
Our rise to the top

By Any Means Necessary

No more waiting idly by
As the children of our earth suffer and die
Load it up, cock it back
Load it up
Hit record and play it back
Let em know when its time to attack
Hit record and play it back
Apathy has run its course
Peaceful protest, met with force
Amnesty, the darkest horse
The last resort,
Violence, I shall endorse
Slaughtered souls, no remorse
Civilization has become destroyed
Replaced by corporate interests
We're the slaves they've employed
Break the foundation
of this bastard nation
We fear the powers
While unnarmed are killed
We drink from the water
While their blood is spilled
Break the damnation
Of this place of hatred
No discrimination
This, our revelation
Apathy has run its course
Peaceful protest, met with force
Amnesty, the darkest horse
The last resort,
Violence, I shall endorse
Slaughtered souls, no remorse
We fear the powers
While unnarmed are killed
We drink from the water
While their blood is spilled
Break the captivity
Of living in a fallacy
Death to passivity
Freedom for you and me
Load it up, cock it back
Hit record and play it back
Let em know it's time to attack
Hit record and play it back

I heard her scream as I slipped off the edge
Another empty bottle
What's one more crushed up pill?
The doctors say that I am sick
So my prescription he will fill
The poison it kills me
I find I have no will
To live, to learn, to love, to breathe
To be a strong man
One who believes
I'm not weak, I'm just a little bit ill
Lack of love, full of hate, they made me this way
No more lies, no more cries, no more shame
In the garden a child will play
Am I the one, who is irrepararable?
In and out of this web of fog
What's one more laugh to fake?
One more for old times sake
Trying to hide, yet I'm stuck in free fall
I am a failure, who was forced to crawl
I'm not weak, I'm just a little bit ill
End it all, end it all, I hear them say
No more lies, no more cries, no more shame
Tonight, in the garden a child will play
In the dirt my feet feel wet and cold
There's a mist upon the air
The sun is shining, beating down
Rotting claws they breach the earth
From hands so small, and skin so pale
Crippling anxieties of old worlds
Were stolen away
Gone with the scent of decay

The Raven & The Snake
04:42

Betrayed by those I love
Another mouse for the snakes to eat
Squirming, slithering, conniving beasts
You won't be laughing when your life has ceased
This world is full of vile, venomous creeps
The kind to rob you all alone in the streets
Cowards parade around erroneously
A sick smile hides sanctimoniously
How could I've been so fucking blind
I've been two timed, fueled by lies from the start
Fake love, your crime, despised disguise,
Defeated enemy, you will face your downfall of reverence.
Betrayed benevolence
I hope you'll feel the blade as it pierces your skin
I'd die to hear your screams
(Over and over again)
You created this mess you're in
(Over and over again)
Now sit back, take your medicine
Behold I am the Raven
I am the one that devours snakes
Worthless, withering, dying beast
Your body breaks while I have my feast
My hunger has grown insatiable
Like a shipwreck left unsalvageable
All alone and in an unforgiving world
I will never look at myself the same,
Too delicate, she breaks,
Murdered without a trace,
I am the beast you created
Now you're lying with a caved in head
A message hidden underneath my bed
I load a handgun with an ounce of lead
Put the barrel to my mouth
All I wanted was your loyalty,
This ends with the death of you and me

I have grown so sick, so sick of it all
A broken man has met his fall
I smell blood, and I want to hunt
Deceived by nature, inhibition failed
Broken down
Feast on rotten flesh
Intellect can not save me
When the body has already failed
When my body has already failed
Sing me a song
Words flow from sweet lips
With those lips you will feast
On rotten flesh
With me, come on let's go
Take my hand, we are going home
Hold me up, be my crutch
I destroy everything I touch
Rope around
The neck of compliance
Burn me at the stake of truth
I drown in my sorrows
I long endlessly for youth
Feast on rotten flesh
I have grown so sick, so sick of it all
A broken man has met his fall
I am the feral one
I am brave enough, to know what I've become
I am a man with no control, and the instincts of an animal

The Charlatan's Faith
02:42
|
|

Created destiny?
Defined fate?
This chosen life is in the shade
Destroying God, abandon hate
We choose our love
We choose our faith
Hypocrisy has tainted this world
False idols preach lies
Fallacies of prophecy
Wolves dressed as Shepards
Herding regimes of sheep
Wasted words, wasted prayers
Useless sermons, falling on deaf ears
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray no Lord my soul to keep
For if I die before I wake
I fear my life would be in vain
Now I lay me down to sleep
I don't need prayers to count the sheep
He who says he is in the light
But hates his brother is still in the darkness
Hypocrisy has tainted this world
In the name of messiah
No world knows perfection
False idols claim salvation
Repent, your God doesn't love you
You are a pawn for the religious extreme
Mindless fool(hopeless fake)
Hypocritical sinner
Your tainted soul isn't heaven sent

Judgement Day
08:29

|

I stepped on the stones, turned my site north
Towards the peaks and the bright bluesky
The seeming eternity
Is calling, longingly for me
One step forward
One step toward
A thousand miles of nothing
Oblivion looms ahead
In the darkness
We see the most
The ground crunches beneath me
In the distance I hear thunder
As the clouds roll in
Like a sword, unsheathed
The earth quakes and splits
Breaks and slits the wrists
Into canyons and caves
Mountains into waves
Horrifyingly they melt away
Into geometric figures
Eroding my last sense of sanity
The man I was is falling apart
Broken and scarred
Yet we wash
Yet we wash our intelligence to the sea
Temptation is a demon
Yearning to be free
Addicted to the perilous pain
I stepped on the stones, turned my site north
Towards the peaks and the blackened sky
The seeming eternity is calling longingly for me
One step forward
One step toward
A thousand miles of nothing
Oblivion looms ahead
In the darkness
We see the most
Beg for your life
As the clouds roll in
Like a sword, unsheathed
The earth quakes and splits
Breaks and slits the wrists
Into canyons and caves
Mountains into waves
Broken and scarred
In fragments they shard
The weak are all I see
Empty bodies before me
Trapped in a daily routine
Awaiting their slaughter
Dead is he who taints the world
Dead is is he who forged the plans
Dead is she with the stolen pearls
Dead are they with tied up hands
From the third world up to the first
Tap our resources and steal our land
When we asked for you to quench our thirst
You brought our bodies out into the sand
Bury me in the cold dark earth tonight
Ensure that I am deep down in the dirt
So deep I that could never escape
Know your demise
You heretics will beg for your lives
Choking on the poisonous air
You fucking cowards will face the tides
As the acid rain melts away your skin
Species extinct will come to life
To take away your pathetic existence
The verdict is in
We are guilty
