1. PRAYER

(Instrumental)


2. HUMAN CHESS

Listen to prrediction the scale tips high must seek to find at all.
If I'm wrong then I may have lost my mind.
Stuck here in the middle to low to high must sacrifice your soul.
If you wish to reach their higher plane.

Let's all play the game
Choose a side let's go
No character's the same
I set up the peices... It's time to scale the walls

You don't have to listen to my advice use your own mind to chose.
Just remember that the clock will wait for none.
Speckled with the blind our world decaying one day may be gone.
This secession may find you left behind.

Let's all play the game
Choose a side let's go
No character's the same
I set up the peices ... Let's tear down the walls

6 feet deep beneath me sleeping.
All the lost that fuel the fire.
Cracked earth now the blood is seeping.
New life their one desire.
We've the chance for revolution.
One heart connects one mind.
See the strength of this institution.
All fates connect to mine...

Let's all play the game
Choose a side let's go
No character's the same
I set up the peices ...
It's time to scale the walls

Let's all play the game
Choose a side let's go go go go
No character's the same
We set up the peices
Let's tear down the walls
Fly high this flock of crows
Burned all the bridges past
It's time to scale the walls


3. DREAM IS DESTINY

Excuse me for a minute while I wipe away another tear
I'd like to take a second just to tell you why I'm here
Don't get me wrong it's a beautiful world
I've had a beautiful life and met some beautiful girls
Everyday I pause to simply look at the sky
Knowing everything will go as planned in it's own time
And if I didn't believe in anything that I ever say
Then you would have the right to take my fucking life away
But since I'm real you can feel the emotion I deal
Share my blood and my soul as we spin the wheel
And as the days go by we will all arise
And set fire to stage with a flame in our eyes
Nearing the completion of the set up again
The boat is comin to shore so let me lend you a hand
At this point we're still underground
But we'll be breakin out soon, not hard to be found
Pushin up the soil let the flower bloom
I'd like to welcome you into my tomb
I'd like to welcome you into my tomb

[Chorus:]
This is the life I had to live
Nothing more
Gave everything I had to give
And it's all I've wanted (x2)

Times are often hard and never seeming to end
And you can find your only refuse in suppression again
So you can reach for a friend or you can reach for anger
But every way you go you know there's only danger
So if you train your pain to fight the constant game
Then you can drain your brain to try and act the same
And nothing every changes ever trapped in limbo
I'm reachin for the light but still I'm held by dark now
I"m freaking screaming constant fighting off the fucking Demons pullin shots into the shadows cause nobody seems to See them what if recognition was the key to understanding Life I'll turn my pen into a sword and then use it like a Knife to cut a hole inside my head to let the darkness out
I could siphon all the light to tell you all about I'm Filtering the soil playing dead for you I'd like to Welcome you into my tomb
I'd like to welcome you.....
into my....
Tomb
tomb
tomb

Welcome child inside my mind
I'll beg you leave the past behind
This tattered soul is two entwined
I'm divine
Not long ago at age thirteen
Darkness started calling me
Through my brain like new disease
It spread with ease
The angel of my discontent
Was swiftly bought and slowly spent
The aftermath of my lament
I must repent
Here we go for all my passing
Can't die cause the day keeps lasting
I'll crawl away from here
That's right
I'll fight
For my
Own life
Never know black if your lost in the white
Color blind now place this on your mind
Open all doors no room to decide
Open your eyes
I'll fight
For my
Own life
How I want

[Chorus]


4. LEARN TO COPE

Grant me, the wish that I ask for,
Don't speak, cause you are the enemy,
I'm so tired, of trippin through the fresh holes,
Placed in the ground again.
So sweet, the taste of the fresh air,
So many weeks since I've shared the smell of it,
A slow creep, return to my feet,
And it was judgement at first glance.
I'm sorry, but only for to the one that's gone,
A long reach, your memory will never fade, now show me, The path for which to carry on, you know that we will meet again.
It's lonely, inside the single cell idea,
So know me, not just stories you were told,
A stone leaf, weighing on my chest,
I'll weigh it while you change your stance.

[Chorus:]
So close to finding the answer
Too far to go tonight
You signed in blood at the alter...
Everything is gonna be alright
And if you fall to the powers
We'll be waiting here with open arms
Smoke climbing, melting the hours,
Feel the suffering...

Now you know I had to take the long road,
The path much less chosen,
Follow rules from pages never written,
Home grown, a shell composed of common callose,
I won't fold on demand. I worry,
But only for the close at heart,
My misery, gives strength for me to carry on,
The same dreams, left hanging on the stars at night,
These are the dreams I've dreamed.
Again I had to say I'm sorry,
But only for the one that's gone,
A long reach, your memory will never fade,
Now show me, My god we will meet again.
I know that no one else can take the wrap,
It's my fault, I built the motherfuckin trap,
I was taught, the streets N my gat,
I've become a prince...

[Chorus]

I would trade my sleep to see the sun.
It's hard to deal, with what I've become.
There is no guilt I simply wanna run without the gun, into the sun.

I'll risk my record, on a chance to fly,
Clip these wings I might die,
It's all about the wrong or right.
Self made drummer, for the crimson flag,
Carry star dust in small bags.
It's all I ever had...

Maybe I would change if all my fantasies came true,
But I'd never, change into you...

I want the chance just to live to survive.
I want the chance just to live to survive.
I want the chance just to live to survive.
I wont live this fuckin lie

Grant me, the wish that I ask for,
Don't speak, cause you are the enemy,
I'm so tired, trippin thruogh the fresh holes in the ground again.
So sweet, the taste of fresh air.
So many winks, since I've shared the smell of it,
A slow creep, return to my feet,
I'm a fuckin prince...
So close to finding the answer, too far to go tonight.
You signed in blood at the alter...everything's alright


5. ANOTHER CRACK IN THE MIRROR

It slowly feeds, on apathy,
I slightly tears, away the seams,
The way they call, the conciouse fades,
We act as dolls, take part in scenes,
But if you fall, don't be afraid, this sunday,
Forgave them.
Nothing has gone away, lets share the pain,
Becoming real, so hard to see, you laugh aloud,
No go inside, to find yourself, our foolish pride,
Just don't be scared, I know that,
No one is taking over, but if you care for what,
You see, that life is just for...leaving no one,
Don't try to hard, to see yourself,
You're going somewhere, don't know the path,
Still nothing fades.
I'll never leave you here again,
Fall into the underworld, you'll see the stars again,
Now rectify an open mind.
Maybe you'll scream along the way,
Life it never goes the same.
Nothing goes as planned.
You'll see it everyday...
The dark will shine, you should not care,
The pain will free, and leave you here,
But when it comes, don't look away,
Cause everyone must touch this flame.
Don't ask for them to care.
No need to pray, the price is worth the cost you paid. Leave me open, severed from myself,
Giving not to me and I know every breath you take will build towards breakin part these better days.
No one knows the bleeding eyes, demons never go away.
Can you feel me now? corrupted in my death I'm born again. No one see the things we see.
Obsolve me not for anything, but maybe when I die,
You'll recognize the sound, of my name....
No one's waiting here for me, can you see the graves they left behind?
No one's in the skies,
I feel the tears of all tomorrows eyes.
I feel their eyes, I feel their eyes,
I feel the tears of all tomorrows eyes.


6. ABATTOIR

My peccant pessary stabs at the heart of she
Anyone who has the strength to look inside of me
I'm afraid there's no room for you here
Illuminate the view so you can stear clear
So pure, white flame, mold a carnal twin
I know it's my fault cause I should've never let em in
Corrupt flesh as I slowly lay my hands upon
Dark claws dig deeper into carrion

With baited breath I dwell upon the sin
Knee deep in flesh my staff will rise
Part the waters ritual begins, sacrificial offering
Bite the skin teeth marks in the meat
Pour salt on the wound and wait for the whine
Tighten both hands griping the neck
Try to balance both haste and time

Crawl
On your knees
You beg
I feed

Here's your final chance to leave
And now I pull you down
No I could never drown
Should've known right from the start
I'll reach right in and tear it all apart
And if I try too hard
I might bruise your heart
Did I ever care?
No one will ever know
So if you push back now you'll get thrown down to the ground.
Just sit right there and fuckin wait for your suprise.

Pay, for all my anger.
Lost no sense of us.
Lonely, I've been the stranger, a sentence formed by lust.

Bow down
Right now
I'm so proud
Bow down

Shut the fuck up let me talk I told you (bow down)
Enough is enough not enough I need you (right now)
Look how it cries watch it bleed you know (I'm so proud) Now that we both have what we need, you must go now.
You must leave now.
You must go now.
You must leave now....

All of her a part of me
Can't it fall down
Can't it hurt her
Now it's all wrong
Yeah it's over
It's all over
Now it's over
You're all alone

So now I pull you down, no I could never drown.
Should have known right from the start I'll reach right in and tear it all apart.
So, if I try too hard I might bruise your heart.
Did I ever care?
No one will ever know and if you push back now shut your fuckin mouth.
So if you try to run, I might be your undoing...


7. BELIEVE

And so it's unexpected, when shaking hands with sorrow. Building a world so incomplete.
Now that the lines connected,
A possibility of no tomorrow,
I can feel you standing next to me.

I believe in anything that would make it go away.
Fortify my faith in life,
There's nothing that could tear me down again...
Strength within myself, I'll always find a way.
The sun will shine again...
The sun will shine again.

We couldn't understand it,
Anything that was happening.
But god just simply had to know.
You were worth too much to let go,
The pure of heart are few and far between and the signs of life are sure to show.

I believe in anything that would make it go away.
Fortify my faith in life.
There's nothing that could tear me down again.
Strength within myself, I'll always find a way.
The sun will shine again...
The sun will shine again.

Six months of darkness here we are again.
Welcome back to reality.
The hearts between us mend.
Fuck all who doubted.
We screamed and we shouted,
Our spirits grew stronger with time.
While waiting beside you the flower of love bloomed.
This is not your life.

I'm afraid while you were sleeping...
The world has changed but god granted you chance to...
Live again
Return into our arms, we miss you so.
A champion of light within your soul.

Believe in hate, believe in fate,
Believe in love at first sight.
Believe in the fact that everyone here has been touched by your life.
I believe that somethings out there lookin back every night,
So I believe that there's a point to every one of our lives.
Without faith what's to hope there is no reason to live and I can hope you understand that that's exactly what you give.
And I believe the human soul can always endure.
Ao when ours lets loose be sure yours will soar.

I believe in anything that would make it go away.
Fortify my faith in life,
There's nothing that could tear me down again...
Strength within myself, I'll always find a way.
The sun will shine again...
The sun will shine again.


8. NO ONE KNOWS

Unconceived yet so imagined imprints etched on time,
Never given chance to make a choice.
Young, naive, then something happened,
Burdens on the mind.
Fear infests and some are left behind.
Salvation for the lost remains.
Desperate they try in vain.
Restoration for the contruct,
Dwell on what's denied.
Visions of these apparitions rize.
Floating through the memories,
Vociferous and proud.
Promises of trust are broken now.
Salvation for the lost remains.
Desperate they try in vain.
With heaven so far away how easy it must be to fall astray.
With heavan so far away.
I can hear the scream but can't hear what they say.
Pain of life not chanced to feel.
Detached from this whole realm,
The seriphem left message to return.
Secrets sewn in mouth again,
Disturbed and unrefined,
These chains are carried till the end of time.
Salvation for the lost remains,
Perilous they die in vain.
With heavan so far away how easy it must be to fall astray.
With heaven so far away.
I can hear their screams but I can't hear what they say,
I can hear their screams...
I can hear their screams...
I can hear their screams but I can't hear what they say. Forgiveness at best for I'm only a man.
Reap what we sow and we know how it seems to be sold,
Leaving no room for weakness.
My emotions on my sleeve and my heart in my hand offer condolence in passing while living quite bold.
Try to stave off the meakness.
Reincarnation turn glass back to sand.
Crawl through the crevices left in the mountain paying homage to history.
Show me your scythe as you tear through the land,
Entrails of lust with the fresh scent of failure.
Giving all that they had to be.
Free from these bonds that be shackled to my soul.
Try not to cry as you see that all is gone,
Lost in the reverie. salvation for the lost remains.


10. FACELESS DIVINITY

In the land of the lost the sheep all huddle in vain,
Forgetting all that they saw and everyone is to blame.
What is a man of the clothe, a temple built for a king.
Our purity has been lost, we buy and trade for our sins.
A golden image of saints, when nothings left we fall into faith.
Disguising greed into grace, help fill in thier to save us some face.
The cross has become a disgrace, but who is watching when god is away.
So few are worthy to save, we're losing time to path the way.
We've slaughtered innocence, can't remove the blood from our hands.
The earth is oiled in it.
Chalice overflows, when will salvation come?
The end of days is dawning, so let the lies come out undone.
Filet the image of man, a caste so folleyed with flaws,
There's barely room left to stand, an angels coming to call.
And when the words have been spoke,
A living fire will form,
The non believers will choke on every word used to warn.
Shadow will swallow the light,
Only those who can see will have strength left to fight.
And like a theif in the night steal the souls of our children still burning so bright.
It chips away at our lives.
This unholy foundation fueled simply by lies.
You see now little is right.
We must reform to rebuild through demise.
I can tell you what I believe but that won't help you find your way.
Open hearts and the open minded, I'll leave my path so you'll find it.
Fuck it all, all that they taught you.
Don't belong, snakes will try to trick you.
Learn to crawl, quench the thirst that brought you.
Start to fall, hung by the neck.
Day of rest put your god to test.
Lay your head on the mothers chest.
Slay the church where the devil rests.
Keep god in the heart where he does his work best.
Undone, undone, undone, our journey has just begun.


11. PREVIOUSLY ON...

You were part of my life and I cannot forget the founding of the zero hour and the nights shared with a friend.
Never any second guessing past lives can't return.
Maybe we can ride again when the answers are all learned.
You chose to walk alone and I respect the path you pave but when the day comes that you need a hand,
I'll still be in the game.
You threw it all away...
You threw it all away...you threw it all away.
Recalling all the nights that we would watch the stars above.
Dreaming, wishing, wondering when the answers would all come.
But life was never simple since our webs were filled with pain.
It fueld the raged inside our hearts while the drugs refueled the brain.
We saw the of evil pulled at the edges of a god.
We made an oath to save the world or destroy it as we tried.
Look around you at the empire that we built with our bare hands.
Our whispers were a thunderstorm spreading peace across the land.
We soaked so many tears up with a simple piece of mind.
We left each life legend that would never fade with time.
I'll forever miss you in my life and I'll miss you on this stage,
But I know that we will meet again on our lonely path of rage.
Away...away...away...opened up your heart and closed your head.
You couldn't see the simpled minded way in which you now were look at me.
Away...away...away...
Reaching out to nothing now cuase no one is there and it hurts me to know that you really don't care. Away...away...away...
Life it isn't easy, hell you know its a bitch,
How could you throw it all away because of your dick...
Away...away...away.


12. MOTHERS' TEARS

This disease is in her veins she bleeds green blood again We need all of her children to stand up to this war machine go to leave more flesh is picked for the beast our resources stripped we need for you to stop pretending we'll always have what we need just no way that we can stay on this course of existence if we wish to live in the fashion our ancestors did

We've had enough
She's had enough

Burn the trees acres of apathy ancient spirits of earth shall flee if we cannot find a way to erase all this greed not much more not much more can we take as lords we're losing our stake our claim is not residing combining with our self destructive state

We've had enough
She's had enough

Now stand close to the fire
That burns in our core
We must maintain desire
Or fall victim
To every trial being lost from the start
The uncovered feeding of worms in her heart
The death of the sheep as acceptable loss
If mothers left to die our lives too are lost

She's had enough
We've had enough

Dizzle turns to flood. frozen ends are melting.
Castles in the stand like chivalry will rust and fall away.
Eroded shore are drifting, the layers cracked and shifting.
Balance has been lost it may never come to us again.
This list is overloaded, our world has lost control.
It starts to rot and with it comes decay.
Self built for mass production, fate only ads the suction.
A melting pot of misery and pain. here I go again,

You know...?
This is deadly...!
This is deadly...

If this is what you want, this is what you'll get.
Take it to the head, put your armor on.
Put the kids to bed, child to man.
This responsibility is not all our own.
We must regain the upper hand before this crisis grows.
We seem to have lost all sense of reality.
Will no one ever take the blame.
Cycle will come back around again and next time no ones innocent

From green
To black
To left
To lost
Our world will fall, return to dust
From green
To black
To left
To lost.
Our world will fall return to dust

It burns at our core. we must maintain desire or fall victim to every trial being lost from the start.
The uncovered feeding of worms in her heart.
Death to the sheep as acceptable loss.
If mother's left to die our lives too are lost.
Our lives too are lost.


13. A Darker Shade of Bruise

You could spend a life time lookin for saviors,
Only to find that you should have been saving yourself.
Chalking up a contrast of possible failures...impossible delays.
You could waste some good time spittin at strangers,
Only a burden you couldn't carry the wealth.
Adding unequivacal evidence of the dangers...now follow me.
All I am respresents the fall of man.
I became every fucking thing you hate.
Soul injest, rip this heart out of my chest.
Best layed plans, sights are set for mice and man.
A darker shade of bruise returned to you.
Oh no, I lost myself below.
Searching for the rights of the demon king.
All hail as I peek beneath the veil.
Question everyone and everything.
All this rage forms the bricks for my blockade.
Forged by pain, dip the sword into the flame.
Worldy quest, I'm not supposed to be the best.
All I am, reflections of where I've been.
Sorry I didn't know how quickly strength could grow.
Calloused and unabashed commit myself to always last.
If I die before I wake, I'm afraid there's been a big mistake.
I pledged my oath for power of the blood.
Oh no, how deep this tunnel goes.
Counting on the strength of these dark wings.
All hell, rise up and stand your ground.
Most swoon waiting for the hand of doom.
See revolution in the childrens eyes.
A dull impression they've become.
We fill thier bellies with our fears and lies,
Every pulling...till they succomb.
With monsters hiding behind each closed door.
Beware they snatch you out of the night.
We need to start a new domestic war.
Right here on our front door. on our front door.
Get up, get up, get up I'm askin anyone.
Quit your bitching and start a revolution.


14. BROKEN CROSS OF DENIAL

I'll throw my righteous fist into your mouth,
And make you swallow my rage.
Kneel down I'll force the demons out,
Return them to my cage.
Don't ignore the dust with which you came and ash you shall return.
Spew out this refuse in my name,
Be sure your pride will burn.

Suffering this madness and turning the cheek to satan.
Ignorance is taught by the weak and can never stay strong.
Conspiracy of races left chasin the ghosts of past lives.
Written on the faces of children most likely born to die.
Forgotten memories still hang on the hearts of sorrow.
Seems innocense is beaten, let us not forget the light.

That's right the battle will draw nigh perhaps not far away and when the nuetral draw the line,
You'll hear scream your name.
A crack of thunder will roar,
The earth will shift under toe,
Revalations has already started.
Nations divided in whole,
A war is waged for the soul,
Lood will reign upons the flowers grown.

Intertwining serpents are crawling across the darkness.
Sickness in the water cascading along the abyss.
Pin pricks in the flesh as it boils a building circus.
Housing all the lost and the numb to life as we know it.

Evil is crossing into the light.
Devils are appearing and hiding in plain sight.
The racist, the biggot, the hatred, lets see it.
Abuser, molestor, the cancers that fester...

Forgotten memories still hang on the hearts of sorrow.
Seems innocense is beaten, let us not forget the light.
I swear by all that I do know,
There's a choice we all are granted.
Now that the lines are drawn,
The seeds will all soon be planted.

One life's all we have
Make your choices well
All must choose thier path
All must choose to kill
The time is here, the time is now
Put up your fists, lets throw it down
Our choice is made see how we march
My legion waits behind me in the dark
My legion waits behind me in the dark
My legion is in the dark
This legion is in the dark
In the dark
In the dark.
Oh my god...
