1. IED

From peasant in empire to grunt in battle
Soon I will die, soon I will die
A radio premonition tells of enemy tainted roads ahead
But never will I die so the king could lie
Spin the lie
Lie
Spin the lie
I heard it call my name
Death whispered these words to me
“Soon you will die, soon you will die”
I forge ahead inside this steel fortress to be my grave
But never will I die so the king could Spin
Spin the lie
That sends me to my fate
And grunts the martyr afterlife
Spin the lie
That sends me to my grave
Enter the mind of chaos
Where fear is set aside
Where blood of war becomes the only color I see
Where life stolen is life set free
Now enter domain of dismay
Where the mind races for reason
Why must it end this way?
To die for something I don’t believe in
Why are you praying?
God can’t help us now
All is silent but the scream of my broken ears
God won’t help me now
Help me now.


2. FEARPATH

Why must everything coincide
With the destruction that corrupts your mind
With blind eyes believe you see
Of a thief your are the epitome
We can never live when we just pray for death
We cannot forgive the knife stuck on our chest
As we bleed
No compassion
As we bleed
Fallen tears will not impress
As we bleed
Sympathy has scared these wrists
You are now living the life you despise
Driven by pity
Compelled to regress
Come from the shadows and shed your disguise
Grasp ambition project your best
No greater lesson than shame
Ones reaction defines his name
Feeding the wasteland will drag him down
Left empty and self disowned
Kingdom of heaven ages away
No paradise left for those who won’t slay
Bound by veiled eyes


3. IMAGE

Self influenced
Guilt ruptures the veins
Faceless,
You walk this path with restrain
Another day displaying your colors of shame
Agony burning out your will to be
Everything that you have ever known is now lost in you
Mirrors image is replaced by someone that you once knew
Different face,
Your empty eyes still remain
Weaker soul,
That shudders at the sound of my name
This is life, this is pain denied
For your eyes cannot be defied
Rise again,
Claim this forsaken ground
Gain the strength that defines your sound
Now it’s clear how empty this life can be
When you’re letting fear gain all that you see
How the fuck can you just let it be
When it’s known that all is destined
Will be your misery
The patience that you show
Your own suffocation,
A death so cold
While you do what you’re told
Swallow your sorrow and take back control
You’ll never see any sympathy from me


4. MIND RUIN

He screams the pain that has become life
As nails obtain his mind suffers the night
I can’t find a way to abolish this
He pleads to himself as he claims his wrists
Eyes turned crazed as he devours himself
Sanity lost so long ago
Confined now to his decay
To late
Sadness thrives in his heart
Bitter
They come to erase what is left of him
Gaze beyond the gold that he’s left for them
Message from the dead
For you with thick head
Cherish your life
This message you can’t decipher
Find an outlet for your misery
There is pain, greater death
Swallow anxiety
Secure your breath
Can’t you see what has become
You are here followed by none
I am yourself
So faceless
Exile, panic
This fate you resist


5. FACE OF PAIN

Why must everything coincide
With the destruction that corrupts your mind
With blind eyes believe you see
Of a thief your are the epitome
We can never live when we just pray for death
We cannot forgive the knife stuck on our chest
As we bleed
No compassion
As we bleed
Fallen tears will not impress
As we bleed
Sympathy has scared these wrists
You are now living the life you despise
Driven by pity
Compelled to regress
Come from the shadows and shed your disguise
Grasp ambition project your best
No greater lesson than shame
Ones reaction defines his name
Feeding the wasteland will drag him down
Left empty and self disowned
Kingdom of heaven ages away
No paradise left for those who won’t slay
Bound by veiled eyes


6. LAST MINUTE

Everything that you have held dear as fallen
Fallen from sight of the eyes
Now there is no turning back from the pain
Pain that breeds genocide
How can one return from this madness
Is it possible to rise
To find new faith in what ones been given
Time to rebuild the mind
One single breath that evades me
The ghost of past cries
One single breath that escapes me
I won’t silently sit by
Tell me have your ever felt humility burn your flesh
Can you feel the scars on my chest from the pain I posses
Regret fills me
From an occasion that wont lay and rest
Listen to these words
Now with new vision I am standing tall
Tall on unsheltered ground
Creating a new definition for life
A life for me to be proud
Never again shall be weak and led
I’ll destroy all in my path
One cannot gain until one has lost
And I’ve returned from the dead
As I climb can’t seem to find
Any way to pull myself back
I shall seek though never find
The things that give me peace of mind
I’ve fallen into this hole for the last time


7. INHERIT THE DOWNFALL

Outcast
Procreate and divide
All hopeless blossom and holiest die
Breed of a vile age
I am the righteous and depraved
No variance, save from label
I am the cursed and the saved
Conjoin as one
We unite in the flames
Inherit the downfall
Follow the path of all that is wretched
Force the human down
Blood spilled flows to the feat of the betrayer
Another dream dies bearing life to a nightmare
Kill off the blood line
I am the righteous and depraved
By the wind given to me the seed
I am the cursed and the saved
Roots embed
Corruption rise with the weed
Lost
Pass away, fade away
Unclean spirit on a bitter shell
Self loathing soul in a prison of skin
Body
Machine
Vehicle of squandered gods
Willing slaves to lifeless men
You are the source of my contempt
These hands cast in hypocrisy
These eyes blind to all but the need
This mouth that must lie to breathe
To forge deceit in the world
I reject the lie that you have become
I dream to break free from this race
Possessed by broken spirits


8. FAILURE STATE

To the gallows I stare with empathy
Witnessing this grand tragedy
Cold blooded political hypocrites
Force fed the lies to you and me
Powers granted
To the one with the best lies
We fail
Purified
Sacrifice another mind
Terminal, forsaken
Praise the prevalent advance
Crushed by the wreckage of your failure
Find the truth
Deep within this life of deceitful hands that bind
Take control back and refine
Bred in captivity
Bred descending

10. MANIC AGGRESSION

Glaring at me with eyes of the past
A solid future can’t be foretold
Meaningless, your presence in my life
With this aggression you’ve bought and sold
Mold me,
I don’t fucking think so
Nor can my destiny be swayed
Release or I’ll fucking break you off
And leave your life disarrayed
Gone
Here erupts the wasted
Gone
Here erupts the belligerent
Maniacally I wait for your failure
Speak to me of your sad illusion
And I’ll show you what its like to be whole
Think of this as egotistical
Then walk down the path paved with gold
Can’t you see
Aggressions now released
All wounds have now been healed
For care has ceased
I will never give what you seek
I will never befriend the weak
What have you become?


11. WITNESS IN THE SHROUD

From the silence of what’s forgotten
Those withering close their eyes
You can hear the screams of the dying
On their path of suicide
Failed attempts now painted crimson
Body lies
So shall soul rise
To the very peak of this chamber
Forever reside with hollow eyes
I need your faith
Find faith in this
Loss of vision
Sense of direction gone
Find faith in this
Fleeting images
This grip on happiness
Find faith in this
The rot of sorrow
Mind encompassed
Damn the sons of the unseen
That chase a suicidal dream
Everything you were I need
Let me feel the pain you bleed
I’m here waiting for you
Find faith in me
Paralyzed by lies
Witness in the shroud remains
As I share my sorrow
Witness in the shroud remains
As I follow hindrance
Witness in the shroud remains
As I beg for misfortune
Witness in the shroud remains
As the whole world dies
Open your buried mind
