Lyrics

1. BURN THE SKY

Break down the walls , which hide my destiny
Earthly prisons , and chains that bind the sea
Titan mountains , shattered dreams vast and far
Guard the only window , gateway to the stars

Elemental boundaries-Earth,Water,Wind,and fire
The eternal heavens , to which there is none higher
The surreal horizon , which Icarus tried to fly
Never to burn my wings , for I shall burn the sky...

[Chorus]
Can you get the fire burning ?...Will you try?
Will you be a mindless soul , or will you burn the sky
***
Passion and possessions , are restrictions of the mind
What I am searching for , and what I leave behind
So we sit , and only take what's given
Never to dream beyond , or ask for what is hidden

[Chorus]
Sweltering heat of roaring passion...grow with time
Will you cower at imminent end...or will you burn the sky
***
So many times we're told , that it can't be achieved
Forced-fed and brainwashed , to things we should believe
Chained with emotions , bound to a false reality
No vision of what lies beyond , a hazard fantasy
No passion to press onward , thriving for supremacy
Sparking life of creative minds , the key to immortality

Never shall I believe , restrictions other say
Smashing through these walls , and obstacles in my way
Cursing my soul , for ideas that passed me by
Grabbing the reigns of my dreams , It's time to burn the sky

[Chorus]
Feed the savage flames...or commit deicide
Will you become a God like me , and start to burn the sky


2. RUN FROM THE LIGHT

As we are told , to enter heaven's divine
Repent and rapture , you must go into the light
Stray from a beaten path , remorse for all your sins
Icons at the gates , will surely let you in

Caution deception , that burns so bright
Heed thy warning , and run from the light

Cowering in darkness , when death brings us the end
Awaiting the afterlife , one's faith does pretend
Merciful and righteous , you'll reap the great rewards
Immortal in bliss , Reign eternal forever more

Caution deception , that burns so bright
Heed thy warning , and run from the light
Welcomed temptations , you now must fight
Saving your soul , run from the light

Such a surprise , when you think you've saved your soul
Such a demise , after death you realize there is no goal
Striving for the now , gleaming future glows so ever bright
Preservation of one's self , for this is the only light

If we are to suffer , when choosing what is right
Then why so easy , to always find the light
Living hell on Earth , to gain a holy desire
Forewarned that light , is also caused by fire

[Chorus]
Run from the light …run from the light…run from the light


3. CURSE THE AGES (CURSE ME)

Curse the ages , time spent on this earth
All False hopes , since the day of my birth
Curse the reasons , what should and shouldn't be
And all that is divine , the one who's cursed is me

Stubborn , like a mountain side
In you , I won't confide
knock down , merits you earn
Cast out , lazy will to learn
Imprisoned , like brain to skull
Implode , no self control
never see , pitfalls under feet
Won't accept , the goodness cursed on thee

Curse the patterns , showing cause for alarm
And the souls , that have always done me harm
Curse conditions , that molded minds this way
The cries and screams , unheard for another day

Why search for things untrue
Only one cursed is wretched you
Cursing others , and placing blame
You're the one , who lives in shame

Won't Stand up , and get in line
Narrow Minded for the asinine
Your self army , is only one strong
Lonely life , for you is too long

Stubborn , like a mountain side
In you , I won't confide
knock down , merits you earn
Cast out , lazy will to learn...(overlapped by CURSE THE AGES..CURSE ME)

[Solo]

Imprisoned , like brain to skull
Implode , no self control
never see , pitfalls under feet
Won't accept , the goodness cursed on thee ...(overlapped by CURSE THE AGES..CURSE ME)


4. SODDEN WITH SIN

Stay away from the 7 deadly
They'll surely lead you astray
Don't mind the fact that man commits them , each and every day
Why is every great indulgence
Considered evil taboos
Restricting all of man's pleasures , a souls redemption he shall loose

[Chorus]
Endulging , never languishin'
Exploit emotions within
Bearing sinister grin
SODDEN WITH SIN

Straight narrow minds that follow
These strict rules to obey
Fearing God ; Cardinal virtues , the soul is the highest price to pay
Commiting 7 deadly sins
Ordaining the heavenly virtues
Damnation awaits the masses , for the actions that we now choose

[Chorus]

Pride in everything that you do
Envy others who have more than you
Greedy for earthly Treasures , Angry for not obtaining these pleasures
Lust the love that never gives back
Gluttonous soul , now turns to black
Man is sloth now accepting his fate , Sodden with sin ; it's too late

[Chorus]


5. BLIND-SIGHTED FORWARD SPIRAL

Full throttle , accepting my fate
Any unknown horrors to come
‘Cause for me , grandeur awaits
Accepting all , won't settle for some
Never watching where I walk
My life's always been a coin toss
Dead dreams , outlined in chalk
Less regrets , for things that I've lost

[Chorus]
I'm on a blind-sighted forward spiral
I'm on a blind-sighted forward spiral

Won't take no , for an answer
Blazing fire coursing through my veins
Scarring past , looms like a cancer
Razor blades slicing through my brain
Pressing onward , no time to look back
Not realizing , any misguided turns
Assimilation , for things I lack
Surviving pain , the only way I learn

[Chorus]

Absurd passions , engine fed by steam
Spirit charged , solar powered might
Many times , lead a solo team
Chasing taboos , clear conscience I fight
Skin weathered , my frame so weak
Heart is empty , perished soul shall burn
Blind-sighted , yet still I shall seek
Forward spiral , I shall never return


6. DAYS OF OLDE

(Instrumental)


7. I HAVE RETURNED

They claimed I was gone , condemned and convicted
Ostracized , fate sealed tight
Resurrection the wise predicted
Overseen all Mankind , false idols pretended
Worship one , his only son
My Earthly reign never ended

Once Man was strong , the meek were protected
Now saturnine , sullen life
My teachings they rejected
Thy throne awaits for me , foretold by the profit
My rebirth , reclaim the Earth
And the universe that surrounds it

[Chorus]
The time has come to choose , wrong or right !
Will it be EVIL or DIVINE
Blackened darkness , Holy light
Chaotic fury , passive benign
...I Have Returned

I laugh as I cry , watching Man's demise
One and all , see them fall
Cutting their plights down to size
It's Man's right to choose , unbeknownst by me
To seek delight , or careless fight
Their own masters of their destiny

[Chorus]
[solo]
[Chorus]

Your future lies with me , gates gold and pearl
Angelic choir , Holy desire
Where peace and love are eternal
Armies rise from the sea , 7 crowned headed whore
Creating war , on every shore
Until Man exists no more...I have returned...I have returned


8. GOMORRAH GOLD

It's not wrong , if it's not right for you
It's my life , to do what I choose
At the end , if it seems was a mistake
It's still my right , to choose a path to take
Be my friend , share same goals as me
Or thorn in side , my true enemy
One's respect , calculated by my trust
Ordained morals , soon annulled by my lust

[Chorus]
Seeking many bountiful dreams
Cornucopia of lustful schemes
Life is for the taking , Gomorrah Gold
And when things seem to end
You're at loss , not me my friend
I've sought the pleasures in Gomorrah Gold

What I seek , many others have sought before
Gomorrah Gold , a satisfied spirit yet wanting more
Revel in excess , smothering crest of my desire
Hoarding stash , needs and wants that I aquire
Show no shame , scornful fingers directed my way
Come along , the time is now , live for today
Gomorrah Gold , a primal instinct in everyday life
Victorious mind , vanity surely beats pain and strife

[Chorus]
Void both time and space
my existance soon erased
Lived a pleasured life with Gomorrah Gold
When my time is done
I'll be judged by no one
Thine is forever , Gomorrah Gold

Now you know , just exactly how I feel
Live my life , cherrish only what is real
Love thy own , not deterred by mortal things
Answer to none , won't be judged 'cause I am king


9. FALLEN ANGEL

On the day , I believed my life would change
When you descended unto me
Thought you to be , a gift from above
Oh how I was deceived

I can't believe , I loved something evil
You were once my guiding light
Spoken actions , that promised only lies
Devil creature with angel's hide

[Chorus]
You crowned me king , and to my surprise
Pulled the world from under me
You fell from the heavens to become my demise
You're my fallen angel
****
Promised eternal life , caring from the heart
Why was I too blind to see
Now I'm salvaging my world fallen apart
From the arrows you Aim ed at Mee

Time now has healed , most of my scars
But the pain still dwells within
Arriving unto me , an angelic entity
Departing a demons lust for sin


10. AMONG THE FILTH AND SLIME

Breeding in the dust and grime , spawned since the dawn of time
Lusting hunger for gold and power , life around turns bitter sour
Practice the laws that they preach
Life sucking social leech
Twisting the laws that they make
So easily choose , the ones they break
Attorneys , politicians , and clergy , all decide what's right for me
Their flesh is bought so easily , all hail , praise the god money

[Chorus]
I can't believe , what fools we are
Allowing them to reign , this long so far
Their true nature , will show with time
As for now we live among … the filth and slime

Poisoned breath with restricting hold , Forcing lives into a mold
Made to play their corrupt game , only ourselves we can blame
Delusional talk can surely deceive
Make you think what they believe
Altered words , supreme command
Iron fisted heavy hand
Attorneys , politicians , and clergy , all decide what's right for me
Their flesh is bought so easily , all hail , praise the god money

[Chorus]

Creating more of their kind , Spreading their diseased crazed minds
Masking lies with fantasy , choking truth becomes reality
Spewing forth their lusting brain
Considered genius , now quite insane
Loathing stench of their hide
Scum and villainy , you must abide
Attorneys , politicians , and clergy , all decide what's right for me
Their flesh is bought so easily , all hail , praise the god money

[Chorus]
