1. IDOLATER

This narrow
Narcissistic view
Of how the world
Revolves for you

Pandering to
The servant's who slave
To feed your swollen shell

Take it all in
Drinking your shame
The same bitter pill

Filling your cage
With anger and words
Still spiteful but bleeding gold

Stand beside
And hiding behind
I watch your jester rule

Laughing at love
And I am ashamed your actions
Weep deceit

Pretentious pretenders
False heir's to the throne
You could never earn
Shallow graves
And hollow passions
From years of bitter abuse
Idolater, Idolater
I pull back your white face mask
Clearing the smoke
And breaking the mirrors
Reveal your master is slave

Selfish defeat
Your visions are twisted
By scheming and impure thought

Terrified
By all of your failure
Laid bare again and again

Flay the flesh
From other bones
To fill your empty defeat

Placing the scars
On other skin
Showing the world your wounds

Pretentious pretenders
False heir's to the throne
You could never earn
Shallow graves
And hollow passions
From years of bitter abuse
Idolater, Idolater
I pull back your white face mask
Clearing the smoke
And breaking the mirrors
Reveal your master is slave

Hiding in corners
Afraid of the light
That shows your vulgar lie
Nothing can love you
And nothing can heal you
Poisoned by your ego


2. GOD BURNS LIKE FLESH

Struggle to bring
Order from chaos
Making the structures divine
Gilded by guilt
Controlling the poor
Keeping your masses aligned
Automatic
Fanatical death
Triggers the end of our time

Prophet existence manufactured
Contain all the fear in your eyes
Searching your souls for my answer
Terrified by the void

Welcome to the end my friend
To this televised sacrifice
God burns like flesh on the spike
And this traitor laughs again

Bleeding revelations
Sweeping exodus fear
This genesis failures complete
And god burns like flesh

Welcome to the end my friend
To this televised sacrifice
God burns like flesh on the spike
And this traitor laughs again

Counting your silver while making the wounds
That you call your faith
God will burn like flesh on the spike
And we traitors laugh again


3. HIDDEN TRACK

Darkness descends
The sweetest dreams made nightmare
All that ever was made sacred
Blasphemy's child
Preaching words of malcontent
Breeding a new way of being

Burning your gods
Like flesh at the spike
Branding your faith
And showing the scars
Bleeding dreams and weeping eyes
Tears that wasted the taste
Salt biting deep
Like a nail in your cross

Touch
Feel
Love
Hate
Worship me

Burning your gods
Like flesh at the spike
Branding your faith
And showing the scars
Bleeding dreams and weeping eyes
Tears that wasted the taste
Salt biting deep
Like a nail in your cross

Darkness descends
And reason dies in the light
Fools will swallow the blind
And bleed for messiah
Pulling the trigger so deadly
Pulling the trigger so gently
Choke on the blood of god
Eat the war for salvation

Burning your gods
Like flesh at the spike
Branding your faith
And showing the scars
Bleeding dreams and weeping eyes
Tears that wasted the taste
Salt biting deep
My soul bleeds for you
All of my faith
Wasted on you
All of your faith
Wasted on me


4. PATHWAY

Taking the first
Steps on the path
Timid and jumping at shadows

Failing and falling
Wanting and needing
The answers that we dream

Open my eyes
To know this world
Is more than black and white
Open your eyes
To a world that has more than pain

Rapid fire
Dieing of days
That fast becomes your life

Cherish the breath
And drink in the joy
Before it wastes all away

Open my eyes
To know this world
Is more than black and white
Open your eyes
To a world that has more than pain

When the sun sets will you weep with regret
Or find your life after death
I will stand tall and toast to my fate
And beg for nothing at all


5. STRIPPED OF FAITH

Terrorized and horrified
By the prophets
Sworn to protect us
From evils abound in this world

Twisting the tails
That makes up your lives
Bending the light so perverse

I have been stripped of faith
For the very last time
Raw and bleeding
Sick and deceiving
Stronger than the lie
We rise above
Pulling freedom free
From the clutches of you

I cry for the world
Broken and calloused
Making our lives
Not worth living for
Bleeding hearts
And foolish dreams
Burning alive
By vicious swine

I have been stripped of faith
For the very last time
Raw and bleeding
Sick and deceiving
Stronger than the lie
We rise above
Pulling freedom free
From the clutches of you


6. DIRGE OF THE CHRIST

All hail
The dirge of the Christ
His final mass of death
And my last revelation

This is the dirge of the Christ
The greatest mass of death
Breathing requiem's last breath

Told from on high
His final chapter's verse
Bleeding from the chorus
That I sing

All that is and ever was
All that is shall never be
Pull the scales from my eyes
Reveal the path that is the lie
All that ever was Made undone

Feasting on the week
Has made you soft
Their pail white skin
This victimless rape

Paid for with blood
So we can drink wine
Setting the feast
On the bitter dead

Snared in the game
Vulgar and vicious
Bighting at the hearts
Of the ones we should love
Faded former glories
Of righteous wars won
How quickly you would burn
And steal away my trust

I am the dirge of the Christ
My greatest requiem mass
Forsaking your saviors
Rotting on their cross
Betrayed by you all
And all that He was

Powers pleasure and pain
This mad empires reign
Innocence and purity
Twist to read like a sin
What can poison a mind?
Like powers sweet divide
Feeding the wrong for right
Eating the days light

I am the dirge of the Christ
My greatest requiem mass
Forsaking your saviors
Rotting on their cross
Betrayed by you all
And all that He was


7. BURIED IN BLACK

I am the pilgrim all alone
Bleeding to death on this broken road
Failing the path of god
To find my paradise is lost

Blinded by light that could save us all
Buried in the black tides rising fall

Could I be the dove?
The olive branch in my hand
Pulling the trigger so gently
To face my judgment in flames

Feeding the fear that I love
To fuel this vulgar tragedy
I feel so far from the surface
Unable to cope, unable to die
Here is the dream that haunts my night
And the visions that blur my sight
Blinded by light that could save us all
Buried in black tides rising fall

Who is the demon in my mind?
Reflecting the evil that I hide
My penance must be paid
To the end of darkness days

Feeding the fear that I love
To fuel this vulgar tragedy
I feel so far from the surface
Unable to cope, unable to die
Here is the dream that haunts my night
And the visions that blur my sight
Blinded by light that could save us all
Buried in black tides rising fall


8. THIS IS THE DAY

Today is the day
That I end
My god given life
Spit of the face
My creator I mock you
I cannot explain
This anger
That wells up with in me

Painted on smile
Your vacuous stares
I cannot stand to be
Breathing the same air
Wanting you dead
Hating the lie that you buy
Contempt raises bile
So thick in my throat
Can't stand the site of you
This vicious joke

This is the day
I bring about my own destruction
This is the day
My rage poisons your purest dreams
I can't stand you
Anymore

There's something inside of me
That I cannot live with
There's something I see in you
That I will not bare withess too
All of the truth
I've learned from your lies
All of my life I've lived in denial
Unable to fight your constant reprisals
I see my will weakened by you
I see my life a worthless lie

I pray and I cry
For some meaning to seep in my life
Your life built on words
From the lies of a dead man
My fragile existence
You cannot preserve
Your faith and your ethos
I deny

Today is the day
I bring about my own destruction
Spit in the face
My savior
Messiah and Christ

This is the day
I bring about my own destruction
This is the day
My rage poisons your purest dreams
I can't stand you
Anymore


9. TOMORROW IMMORTAL

The sands of time slip through your fingers
And never will you see your leaves turning grey
Never to feel the sun set on your soul
Never aware of where you are
Caught in the ebb and the flow
Of time

Our seconds turn to minutes
Our minutes flow into the hours
And hours march forward
Heedless of my cry's for today
To tomorrow

Tomorrow immortal

The sun shines
Bright through my eyes
Warms the flesh
And moves my blood that grows cold
Tomorrow immortal
Opens her mouth
And swallows me whole
Devours my life
And devours my soul

The clock tolls the hour of reckoning
Waste not what you are given
Want not what you waste
For the judge of today is tomorrow immortal

Held in the arms of my lovers grip
Pulling me to my end
The end of all of your days
Caressing the lines
And the years into our skin
Wrap me in your velvet embrace
Entombed in this place

In void of purpose
There can be no existence
There can be no future
Without your past
Hold me tight in your hands
To keep me safe from the years
That wears me down
And turn us all into dust

The sun shines
Bright through my eyes
Warms the flesh
And moves my blood that grows cold
Tomorrow immortal
Opens her mouth
And swallows me whole
Devours my life
And devours my soul
