Buried Truth
03:28
|
|||
A simple act of violence gives birth to war
Heaven is silent, god speaks no more
Designate perception, mislead the weak
A masterful deception, the truth lies beneath
Holiest of holies, perverted sense of self
Indoctrinated only for centuries of wealth
A false crucifixion, redeem the wandering souls
True agendas hidden, maximum control
Individuality suppressed at any cost
Murder is acceptable when worshipping a god
Unending condemnation for all those who've gone astray
Kneel before the saviour for it is the only way
Master, redeemer, hypocrite
Silent killer, maniac
Religious extremism is a plague upon this earth
A history of genocide, in the name of god they serve
Injecting fear of hell into the bloodstream of the youth
Few and far between are those who find the buried truth
The time is at hand for unified defiance
Dismantle the priest, dethrone the tyrant
Blinded no more, freed from submission
This is the war to end all religion

Project Genocide
03:22
|
|||
They want us to suffer in silence
Any outspoken voice will be crushed
Fill us with fear and misery
Snuff out the light that's inside of us
Slaves to the almighty dollar
Counting on our ignorance
Catering to the wealthy
While claiming we all have an equal chance
Homicide, suicide, an epidemic on the rise
Forced to endure a tortured life until your soul finally dies
The strong have no choice but to support the weak
A system that failed from the start
Suppressing our freedom of speech
Destroying all that we are
Send them to war to make profit
Then bring them home in caskets
They gave up their lives for the cause
Their families will get past it
Where to turn, who to trust, what are their intentions?
Hysteria, confusion, lost in all dimensions
Divide and conquer, project genocide
Like sheep we follow, project genocide
The liar sitting in his chair
The serpent lurking in his lair
The ghosts of servants left to roam
Find no place to call their home
Control and manipulation, project genocide
No one to rise up, project genocide

Burn the Empire
04:56
|
|||
Born into hell with the flames at our feet
Then crucified by so-called authority
Prison or death if you do not conform
They are the ones who have started this war
Burn the empire, rise up and fight
Burn the empire, burn it tonight
A life with no freedom is no life at all
The sooner we rise up the faster they'll fall
Been held back too long by the powers that be
There is no army that's greater than we
If they don't surrender we'll take them by force
We kill for our freedom and show no remorse
Gather your weapons, tonight we will ride
Tonight we revolt and tonight they must die
Burn the empire down
Illusions of democracy, designed to deceive
A mindless society deserves what they receive
Citizens enslaved for the wealth of the nations
Dragged through the mud, testing our patience
The art of propaganda perfected in time
Death, a penalty befitting the crime

Into the Abyss
03:24
|
|||
Take my hand as we descend further down into the abyss
Hopelessness is all that's left, join me now and pray for death
The falling of angels signals the end
Fear casts a shadow over the earth
Panic ensues as madness erupts
From the ashes new life will grow
Take my hand as we descend further down into the abyss
We light the fire that burns the world, eternal darkness kills the sun
The once bright blue ocean transforms to red
As millions of corpses float calmly by
When food becomes scarce we feed on each other
A new civilization is born
Elimination of boundaries, purification of self
Spilling blood the only way to live
Suffering will soon be at an end
Consequences brought upon ourselves
Follow me down into the abyss

Worship the Dead
02:40
|
|||
The clock strikes twelve and the moon is full as I climb the graveyard gates
My mind is frantic, my heart beats fast, my destiny awaits
I read the names upon every tombstone, I have to find the one
Herein lies the rotting corpse of my adolescent son
The site located I plunge my spade into the fragile earth
I dig for hours til I'm six feet deep and raise him from the dirt
One down but still one to go, on to his mother's tomb
I must return them to their perfect state, before they met their doom
I will not abandon them, I cannot fail
My only point of existence, death shall not prevail
Some would call this immoral, but they will never understand
Watching my family die was not something that I planned
I drive them home and pick out clothes for each to wear
Place their lifeless bodies sitting upright in chairs
I'll cook a meal and serve us both a dinner plate
Admire their beauty and laugh at how we escaped fate
Some call me sick, because they do not know
I only worship the dead

Eternal Winter
04:44
|
|||
I know a place where the sun has never shone
I know a place that is godless and free
I know a place so cold and unforgiving
No life inhabits its atmosphere
I know a place where there exists no compassion
I know a place that is soulless and black
I know a place so suffocatingly evil
Abandon hope once you've entered inside
Eternal winter of my mind
Shadows lurk behind every corner
Distant voices echo inside hollow caverns
Paralyzing cold sweeps through every crack and crevice
The stench of happiness long gone still lingers
Once alive and vibrant now it's rotting with disease
The landscape altered by unspeakable pain
Monstrous mountains of misery dot the horizon
Once inside you never know what you will find
Eternal winter of my mind
Lifeless and broken
A purge of emotion
Trust is reserved for the ignorant
Love gives way to hate
The dissolution of faith
Humanity, feces of the universe
Eternal winter of my mind
Eternal winter of my mind
Cancerous and murderous, emotions are so torturous
Its better just to feel nothing at all
Shun the light and welcome dark, feed the mind and starve the heart
Enlightenment is just a breath away
Happiness not viable, borderline maniacal
Fear is something that must be destroyed
Wash the pain and cleanse the guilt, break down all that has been built
Bury all regrets beneath the hate
Faded into nothingness so I could be reborn
Defilement of all purity, expel my human form
Begin the transformation and leave everything behind
Peel back the veil and observe with open eyes
Fear, a useless tactic that the enemy employs
Discover true intelligence, filter through the noise
Masked as mere blasphemy reality is twisted
The suicide of the soul reveals what once existed

Soul Possession
05:36
|
|||
Two daughters, one held in higher esteem
One daughter, followed his hopes and dreams
Forgotten, the other daughter mourns the loss
And tightly grips the tiny wooden cross
The father, ignoring his daughter's pain
Hangs his head in disgust and shame
He pours all of his pride into the other
She's all that he has left since the night they lost their mother
Father, oh father, why have you forsaken me?
Am I not worhty of carrying your name?
Daughter, my daughter, I still blame you for her death
Don't waste your breath of your pleas, they'll only be in vain
Buried far too deep beneath the sorrow she unwinds
Unbeknownst to all she finds a peaceful place to die
Trembling, she grips the handle of a kitchen knife
And plunges it into her heart, the finale to her life
The favoured one embarks across the seas
Unaware of what's transpired, she's carefree
The father waves his daughter goodbye
He does not know it will be for the last time
Inside the ruins of a crumbling church evil filled her veins
A demonic possession of her fragile soul, a spirit struck with rage
Awakened from slumber after one thousand years, the parasite needed a bodily host
Attaching itself to her every fibre, leaving the one who once was just a ghost
Her friends in panic consulted the father
They feared for their lives and had locked her away
He told them he'd come just as fast as he could
But the journey would take him three days
Upon his arrival he learned of the truth
The demon had ravaged her body to death
His wife was long gone and his firstborn deceased
He'd lost all that mattered, he had nothing left
The travel back home was a long one indeed
No single hour did he sleep
Convinving himself that he still had a chance
But inside he felt he should weep
Pride is the enemy that darkens the soul
A lesson that's not soon forgot

The Human Condition
03:42
|
|||
Cannibalistic by nature, bloodthirsty dogs of war
A weakness to seek higher power, an impulse to sever the ties
Sadistic experimentation, harvesting humans for gold
Starvation to decrease the cost, an execution of tragedy for gain
Cast off as abomination, blessing the self-righteous hordes
Breaking the chains of confusion, unearthing the root of our curse
Tyrannical organizations, dismissal of civil unrest
Unleashing an airborne assassin, inhaling the putrid aroma
Pride, greed, envy, anger
Lust, gluttony, sloth
A desecration of the presence of hope
A population with instinct for survival
An insurrection generations in the making
The wheels of motion soon impossible to stop
Blood for blood, unmerciful
Final defiance, blasphemous intent
Preparing for a battle that is old as time itself
Those who seek deliverance versus those who would oppress
A chance at retribution for a lifetime of abuse
Alliance of the people, glory to man

Victim of Time
03:48
|
|||
The room is getting smaller, I'm trapped within its walls
A distant clock strikes twelve, time stands still around me
I scream out loud, begging for another chance
I witness my birth
My first breath of life
Innocent, free of scars
I watch myself grow older, the years have gone so fast
A child so full of wonder, many trails to tread
The world begins to change me
Elation to frustration
I witness my rebellion, the last of parental pride
A hatred born of love
I watch my heart grow colder, friends turn to enemies
My mistakes come back to haunt me
I'm nearly crushed underneath their weight
I'm becoming what I feared..
A bitter old man

Final Requiem
03:50
|
|||
The mist circles upwards around her like snakes
Her voice is a hint of a whisper
She beckons me into the thick of the fog
The trees have awakened from slumber
A manifestation of one i held dear
I kneel at her feet and peel off her dead skin
The beauty of evil, a glint in her eye
My mind overcome with the threat of temptation
The scene disappears like it never was there
I find myself bathing in waters of blood
She stands on the shoreline, her figure distorted
The beast at her side waits with anticipation
ashe gestures him forward with dry bony fingers
Fighting the current, my feet are like stone
Releasing all tension, I'm carried downstream
The moon in the sky has a face like my own
Cast down in shadows, nowhere to run
Sick and deformed and my time running out
Claw my way back through the mass of cadavers
Follow the sound of a thousand souls screaming
Her essence abides in the crack of my memory
Time has not moved for what feels like forever
Rising beneath me is heat from a flame
My eyes start to sting from the free falling embers
A new scene unfolds both grotesque and erotic
She lays on a table, her insides on display
Naked and sivering, she's soaked to the bone
I know I'm the one who's to blame
My pours start to weep with crimson tears
I flee from the room with her screaming behind me
A tormented maze is the path I must follow
Escape is not part of the plan
The ending foretold, the journey yet to come
Upon the barren throne, the lord is vacant
