Relinquishing Oblivion
11:32
|

The battle that rages inside of your mind
As you struggle to silence the fire
The flames of passion that seduce you
And fuel your desire to consume
All you've been given at once
Reaching out to grab a hold
Of the hand that would be my salvation
Just out of reach
I meet your eyes as your image fades away
And it seems I had been chasing nothing but a ghost
So tell me what do you believe
About the war inside my head
Innocence is dead
There is a monster in you
Someone please
Take my hand and guide me out of this place
Away from the memories and pain
Left to wonder yet again
What would the world be like if we were dead
And nothing but our ghosts were left
So tell me what do you believe
About the war inside your head
Innocence is dead
There is a monster in me
This perspective
Is not mine alone
So please open your eyes
With the fires all around us
How can we deny all we know?
Do we have to lose all that we had
Before we recognize our flaws?
So tell me what's the difference
Between the hero and the thief
To survive in this dying world
We all will struggle to stay free
There's nothing left for me
Just ruins and remains
And if you're listening
It's stopped making sense to me

Isolationist
07:55
|

I'm hearing voices in my head
Telling me to do things
That I would never purposely do
I've been sitting here thinking to myself
Isolating myself from the rest of the world
Now these voices are driving me insane
Getting in my head and telling me what to do
But I will never let them get to me
I'd rather burn in hell for eternity
I need to find some solace
I need to find some peace of mind
I need to find my tranquility
And find a way to escape my head
I am far beyond driven
I can't turn back anymore
The voices are eating me alive
Their one desire is to kill me
Now I keep thinking to myself
What should I do?
With the noose hanging from the ceiling
Should I go and end it all right now?
Or should I stay and live in this hell?
I need to find some solace?
I need to find some peace of mind?
I need to find my tranquility
And find a way to escape my head
I leave this world behind

Blind Aggression
04:02
|
|||
Another day and our gods don't take aim at us
We check it off as a victory of faith
Living our life in a utopian dream-land
While those above are deciding our fate
A profit gained and territory expanded
A loss of life is no cause for shame
Protect and serve, protecting their wallets
For even deities will bow to the bank
Obey our orders and we'll show you the enemy
We'll take them down so you can be what you want to be
Ignore the truth for our monetary gain
For the American dream
Aggression born of fear
A truth we'll never know
Ignorance is bliss for us
We'll run them down to take control
A war to create peace
For our own kind at least
For our superior souls
Terror campaign against the objects of terror
We'll save your souls by bombing your land
Take what we want and crush all opposition
A thousand soldiers roaming the sands
Their eyes will never see what remains of the truth
They question nothing when they're living like kings
Creating fear to invade who we want to
No one is stronger than the land of the free
Obey our orders and we'll show you the enemy
We'll take them down so you can be what you want to be
Ignore the truth for our monetary gain
For the American dream
Aggression born of fear
A truth we'll never know
Ignorance is bliss for us
We'll run them down to take control
A war to create peace
For our own kind at least
For our superior souls

Acid Tongue
04:40
|
|||
Acid-tongued, you're lying through your teeth
Spreading hatred for what lies underneath
Your reputation matters more than their lives
Create a veil to mask the demons inside
You're weaving a web of lies
Master of your own disguise
You sit on a throne of lies
Master of your own demise
Gaining their trust until the knife's in their back
A serpent waiting for the perfect attack
Written of blood-lust is the story of you
The dagger twisted until the pain is renewed
You're weaving a web of lies
Master of your own disguise
You sit on a throne of lies
Master of your own demise
Dig yourself deeper when their's nowhere to turn
Instant decision to cast a friend down to burn
Hypocritical and no morality
Born of desire and to spread misery
You're weaving a web of lies
Master of your own disguise
You sit on a throne of lies
Master of your own demise

The Monster Inside
05:47
|
|||
Living in denial of me
I'll take control of you
Society will torture your mind
You know not what to do
You can't avoid the monsters
When they're a part of your own soul
Lurking inside the crevice of your mind
Searching for ways to grow
A part of you you fight to repress
Animalistic urge
Live for the beast, the monster inside
For the adrenal surge
You can't avoid the monsters
When they're a part of your own soul
Lurking inside the crevice of your mind
Searching for ways to grow
The monster inside
Will make you feel alive
So just see through its eyes
The monster inside
Wants you to live your life
The way you were designed

Temple of Hatred
04:22
|
|||
Hatred consuming, there is nothing left in me
These fits of anger are destroying everything
I look inside myself, at the monster I've become
Asphyxiated, choking on a world I've come to loathe
Alive in me
This hatred shall always reside in me
I fail to see
What justifies living a life in here
In this temple of hatred
Blood boiling and purging logic from my mind
Suffocating on this anger trying to survive
Suppress, suppress, suppress, it's all I ever do
The edge of sanity will destroy all that I know
Alive in me
This hatred shall always reside in me
I fail to see
What justifies living a life in here
In this temple of hatred
This rage inside
Builds up and consumes me
To let it out
Would be the death of me
This rage inside
Builds up and boils out
To drown everything
Alive in me
This hatred shall always reside in me
I fail to see
What justifies living a life in here
In this temple of hatred

Chains are weighing down
Wrapped around me
Drag me to the edge
Constrict and bind me
Panic hopelessness, as I'm being ripped across the ground
Strength don't fail me now
Fear sets in breathing becomes scarce
Broken, I'm caving as I'm giving in to my will
Scream
Hands claw futile
Cling to the edge of Sanity
Insanity
It destroys me
Pulls me down
Drags me down
Chains wrapping around my neck
Constricting the air that I breathe
Immobilized, I plummet to my demise
Demons destroy my body
Burdened by my great regret
Drag me
Drag me below
You won't
You won't mourn me
And thinking back I wish this to pass

Succumbing to the monster inside
I stumble through the depths
Struggling to ward off the guilt
Spawning demonic apparitions
Through the crowd I meet the Executioner's gaze
As my world's set ablaze
The stone splits open as the fire grows near
Clinging to the edge of sanity
Blistered hands force me to let go
And then the void swallows me whole
The Executioner calls out to me
His blackened mask is all I see
The Executioner calls out my name
He is forever haunting me
Surrounded by nothing
I'm falling deeper into the dark
Battling demons of my own design
Drag me down
Broken glass lies in wait in the depths of the void
The mirror forever taunts me
Mocking all that I've done
Drag me down
No purpose will you find
Live your life imprisoned by a lie
The cavern of broken glass begins to flood
The freezing water has iced my blood
Struggling against the rising tide
I'm panicking, dying, I'm going blind
The Executioner drags me down
But I won't drown
I won't drown
The water grows still and there's no hope for escape
I look down and begin to accept my fate
I cease my struggle and begin to sink
The Executioner's Calling has claimed me
The Executioner calls out to me
His blackened mask is all I see
The Executioner calls out my name
He is forever haunting me

Monarch
06:31
|
|||
I am the strongest one
The creature in control
Bow to the machines that will make your life a living hell
I am the evolution
Decider of the fate
The world that birthed me will be mine to control and I shall not fail
Built to prevail
Strip the Earth of its former shell
Built to prevail
We are perfect now

The Prophet
04:23
|

I stand beside myself
And look back at all I've done
The mirror reflects the truth
It says my pain has just begun
The world crumbles away
And I struggle to find my place
It seems that we will never change
This burden drags me down
As the cities turn to ash
We threw it all away
And it all came down so fast
The world crumbles away
And I struggle to find my place
It seems that we will never change
The world crumbles away
And I know now only pain
And now it seems we won't be saved
