1. ETERNAL TORMENT

(Instrumental)


2. FUTILITY OF AWAITED DISENCUMBRANCE

The inaction of frail hands.
The burden of responsibility.
Omitted from the bearer of impurities.
Crawl into the feeble hold.
Conquered by the sin of man.
Running from the sun.
On thyself, a bitter plea.
A shadow to the very end.
Dead, set apart within me.
In the path of chaos.
My heart sinks slower now.
Burrowed there on borrowed time.


3. THE CROSS IS LOST

Foundations built on hypocrisy.
The political agenda embedded firmly.
Churches filled with the American order, painting their Christs to align.
There's nothing sacred that doesn't deserve the strongest level of critique or criticism.
Wallowing in their own self grandeur, following the way of faith in their own delusions.
This outrage growing.
In the minds of the severed.
The ones ruptured by their creed.
The cross is lost.
The body has been withered.
Dogma engulfing the hearts of the tainted.
Horror, desecration.
Take me from this wasteland.
Hate makes way to replace the purity, reaching those who have let it in.
Forsaking and perverting anything where they see fit.
The cross is lost in the hearts of men.
The subversive nature of their hands.
To declare rule, establishing dominance.
Morally superior.
Judgment forced upon them.
Avoiding doubt like a plague, then condemning those who don't align.
The cross is lost.
No one left to blame in the holy name.
Sucking down the words of their own gospels.
Publicly profane.
Attention that they crave.
Standing on a pedestal of their devotion.
Creating living hell.
Tearing at the veil.
Preying on minds of the ones who are seeking.
Contaminate the pure, toward vanity.
Turning it on all who refuse to comply.


4. RODENT INFESTED

Declaration, infatuation.
High and mighty on their thrones.
God's chosen people, gatekeepers of the faith.
Minds must be aligned.
Experiences always maligned.
Spewing hatred.
Love misguided, voices divided, separated.
By the righteous, conforming to notions of expectations.
Wrought in fragility, losing the ability for tolerance.
This church has now become infested.
Roaming among us, exclude us from this plague.


5. CHAINED IN DECAY

Awakened in a realm of unrelenting fear.
The masses burned alive.
Throwing them into the flames.
Authorities impose the guilty to their own deaths.
Wondering why they're here, standing in rows of ten.
Telling them they'll wake up, when the flames consume their flesh.
They'll feed upon their fears and force them all into to this hell.
Succumb to the upheaval of a fate for them to seal.
Pit of flame and flesh is heaving.
We are the tortured breed.
Wake me from this nightmare, manifesting reality.
For all are doomed to stay.


6. MORBID INFATUATION OF NECROTIZING SENTIMENTS

I can not comprehend it.
The infected nature.
Heavy hands of wrath, shedding hate onto our culture.
Violence now adapts, working ways within the wounds.
Mortifying.
Carving from the inside out.
It now feeds upon us all.
Smoldering transgressions.
Inflicted emptiness.
Time is now erased from us.
Consumed by this fertile soil.
How much more is left to give?
How many lives are put away?
Extirpated human fragments.
Life plays out in hell.
Bodies fall as bullets spill.
Leaving all behind.
Families, people torn apart.
Mourning, scorning, hateful.
Morbid infatuation, everyone lamenting.


7. THE KILLER IN ME

How do you see me through your eyes?
Are you ashamed of me?
They say you suffered on the cross and paid my penalty.
Circumstances.
Second chances.
I live my life on repeat.
If you're the God that they say your are, can your hand reach me?
In a time of my emptiness.
Through the faults of my wickedness.
For the lack of my gratefulness.
Can you make it stop?

I saw you suffer on the cross that night, as I laughed and mocked the sight.
I saw the flesh ripped from your back.
I joined the masses with a heart so black.

Was the weeping and the grieving intended for me?
I am a killer of the innocent.
A growing plague, a pestilence.
I am the thorn that chokes the seed.
The spiteful crown that made you bleed.
When the ground consumes this waste, remember me in the holy place.

I saw you suffer on the cross that night, as I laughed and mocked the sight.
I saw the flesh ripped from your back.
I joined the masses with a heart so black.
