1. BEHOLD, MALEVOLENCE

I can feel it inside, begging as it's confined
(To let it out of my twisted mind)
Clawing at the walls of my skull

(It's like I'm being sucked into a black hole)
I'm trying my best, it's getting hard to suppress
(How am I supposed to live like this?)
Self-medication isn't working
Like fuel on a fire it keeps burning

I can feel it inside, begging as it's confined
To let it out of my twisted mind
Clawing at the walls of my skull
It's like I'm being sucked into a black hole
I'm trying my best, it's getting hard to suppress
How am I supposed to live like this?
Self-medication isn't working
Like fuel on a fire it keeps burning

Mundane, every day is the same
Running from my past of shame
A fake smile to hide the pain
My veins are turning black, eyes roll to the back
The urge to feed on your flesh grows stronger
My skin is turning pale, peeling off my nails
I can't suppress the urge any longer
Behold
Behold malevolence
Behold
Behold malevolence

Are you afraid of the dark?
I can hear your heart beating faster as I come closer
Blood dripping from my mouth like black ink
Coagulating around rancid meat
I've lost all sense of who I am
A monster hiding in the shell of a man
There's nothing that you can do or say
There's only hell to pay

I've evolved from a man into a monster
A monster hiding in the shell of a man
There's only one way to live in a world
Where the issues we face are solved with violence
Where the issues we face are solved with violence
Where everything is solved with violence
With blood in my cup overflowing
I'd like to raise a toast to violence
With blood in my cup overflowing
I'd like to raise a toast to violence


2. SLEEP IS FOR THE DEAD

Submerged in the depths
Wandering the abyss of my mind
Walking down the steps of my torch lit regret
Searching for truth in the past I left behind

In the absence of light
My eyes slowly adjust to the dark
Illuminated malignance in sight
Posthumous memoirs of a withered heart

I lay awake at night
Staring at the wall while I decay inside
All the pain and anxiety trapped inside my mind is slowly killing me

I found my way in darkness
Forsaken by the world that created me
A refuge of confinement desperately searching for my sanity
I can never be what they want me to be

In the absence of light
My eyes slowly adjust to the dark
Illuminated malignance in sight
Posthumous memoirs of a withered heart

Submerged in the depths
Wandering the abyss of my mind
Walking down the steps of my torch lit regret
Searching for truth

I’ve lost my mind
I’m sick
The world still calls me schizophrenic
They won’t ever understand
Yea
I’m a byproduct of this society
I’m reminded constantly by my anxiety

Swallow the pills to sleep
Voices scream in my head
Sleep is for the dead
Swallow the pills to sleep
Voices scream in my head
Sleep is for the dead

I found my way in darkness
Forsaken by the world that created me
A refuge of confinement desperately searching for my sanity
I can never be what they want me to be

In the absence of light
My eyes slowly adjust to the dark
Illuminated malignance in sight
Posthumous memoirs of a withered heart


3. HE EXISTS

I always knew that he existed in the depths of my heart
Silently preparing to tear me apart
Defining who I am and what we are
It was the hate in our hearts that got us this far

We created the devil just to see our brothers burn in hell
We created God to be forgiven for the blood that we have spilled

There is no solution
We are the pollution
There is no solution to madness
There's only one way to end this

Kill yourself
If you wanna rid the world of evil
Kill yourself
If you wanna rid the world of evil

I always knew that he existed in the depths of my heart
Silently preparing to tear me apart
Defining who I am and what we are
It was the hate in our hearts that got us this far

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled
Was convincing the world that he doesn’t exist

He exists in us all

We created the devil just to see our brothers burn in hell
We created God to be forgiven for the blood that we have spilled

I always knew he existed in the depths of my heart
Silently preparing to tear me apart
Defining who I am and what we are
It was the hate in our hearts that got us this far

There is no solution
We are the pollution
There is no solution to madness
There's only one way to end this

Kill yourself


4. SCARS OF THE PAST

If I could turn back time
I would do it again
All the scars of my past

Are a part of who I am

This empty world (this empty world)
Changed me forever (forever)
I had to do what I had to do
Just to survive
These wounds won't heal (these wounds won't heal)
Try to numb the pain but I still feel
Every incision that I've ever made
(Every incision I've made)

I cannot ignore it anymore

I cannot suppress the hatred building up inside of me
Self-loathing energy, I am my own enemy
It's getting harder to distract myself from the pain
Self-loathing energy, I am my own enemy

I live in a paradox
Where the pain I feel is a paradise
Picking at the open wounds
Until the trauma inside me has been exhumed
The poison inside me
Will run its course
Consuming me from the inside
Killing me with no remorse

This empty world (this empty world)
Changed me forever (forever)
I had to do what I had to do
Just to survive
These wounds won't heal (these wounds won't heal)
Try to numb the pain but I still feel
Every incision that I've ever made
(Every incision I've made)

If I could turn back time
I would do it again
All the scars of my past
Are a part of who I am
If I could turn back time, I would do it again
All the scars of my past are a part of who I am
If I could turn back time, I would do it again
All the scars of my past are a part of who I am

I wear the skin of a dead man
An hourglass running out of sand
I spit in the face of their judgement
Answering to no one, I answer to nothing (nothing)
I answer to nothing
I answer to no one, I answer to nothing

This empty world (this empty world)
Changed me forever (forever)
I had to do what I had to do
Just to survive
These wounds won't heal (these wounds won't heal)
Try to numb the pain but I still feel
Every incision that I've ever made
(Every incision I've made)


5. ASHAMED TO BE HUMAN

Pathological liar
Diabolical drama fiend
Everything that you say, everything that you are

Is fucking dead to me
I'll never forget all the damage you did
Just to feel like you're worth something
Pretending to be a friend to me
Just to sell me out for nothing

I gouge out my eyes
Just to see the truth
I fucking trusted you
It's all just a front
Lie through your teeth just to get what you want
Ashamed to be human

Pathological liar
Diabolical drama fiend
Everything that you say, everything that you are
Is fucking dead to me
I'll never forget all the damage you did
Just to feel like you're worth something
Pretending to be a friend to me
Just to sell me out for nothing

(I'm ashamed to be human
Faith in humanity diminished by a Judas kiss
Murder is murder, but death is not the same
When you die alone, I hope you carry your shame)

I'm ashamed to be human
My faith in humanity diminished by a Judas kiss
People like you think that I'm weak
But it takes a bigger man to turn the other cheek
Murder is murder, but death is not the same
When you die alone, I hope you carry your shame

Pathological liar
Diabolical drama fiend
Everything that you say, everything that you are
Is fucking dead to me
I'll never forget all the damage you did
Just to feel like you're worth something
Pretending to be a friend to me
Just to sell me out for nothing


6. REQUIEM

(Instrumental)


7. THE FAILSAFE FALLACY

I can see what hides behind this fallacy
Open your eyes and you’ll be able to see it too
I feel like I don’t belong here
In a world of mindless slaves
Carbon copies of fictitious idols marching to their graves

The innocent become the guilty
Sentenced to a life of misery
Willingly embracing the strength of their chains
Called by a number instead of their names

I know I was meant for something more than to die as a slave in this empty world
A story with no ending is better left untold
I will determine how my life will unfold

I’m not afraid to die
Just afraid to waste it away living a lie
You think that you’re safe behind these walls
The guns aren’t pointed out they’re pointed in
This is a prison
It’s not designed to keep them out
It’s designed to keep you in

I know I was meant for something more than to die as a slave in this empty world
A story with no ending is better left untold
I will determine how my life will unfold

This is a prison

This is a prison
There is no failsafe
This is a prison
There is no failsafe

There is no failsafe
Just a cold embrace of damnation
There is no failsafe
Just a cold embrace of contagion
A cold embrace of contagion

I know I was meant for something more than to die as a slave in this empty world
A story with no ending is better left untold
I will determine how my life will unfold

This is a prison

I’m not afraid to die
Just afraid to waste it away living a lie
You think you’re safe behind these walls
The guns aren’t pointed out, they’re pointed in
This is a prison
It’s not designed to keep them out
It’s designed to keep you in

There is no failsafe
Just the cold embrace of damnation
There is no failsafe
Just a cold embrace of contagion
A cold embrace of contagion


8. INFERNAL SUFFERING

I'm standing face to face with the demons that have haunted me for so long
In the darkest corners of my mind
It's difficult to stay strong
I've fallen far from grace
Bleeding on the altar of my own disgrace
Just to live one day without pain
Even God can't wash away these stains
I'm a broken man
Despite the pain, I'll make my stand
It will never stop and neither will I
I'll bear this burden until I die
This life is all that I have left
As long as my lungs are full of breath
I wear a mask to hide the pain
Diluting the poison in my veins
The infernal suffering
Purge the blood from my hands
This is my offering
This is where it all ends
I've been searching for strength to carry on
But I possessed it all along
The road has been hard but I can't give up
I can't give up
One life to live
Once chance to prove my demons wrong
The road has been hard but I can't give up
I can't give up
Arise
Your life is but a moment in endless time
Arise
The meaning to life you seek is knowledge you'll never find
I can't give up
I'm a broken man
Despite the pain, I'll make my stand
It will never stop and neither will I
I'll bear this burden until I die
One life to live
One chance to prove them all wrong


9. LUCIFEROUS

Blinding light as the trumpets drone
Scorching the earth
Flesh turns to ash beneath the mushroom clouds
Darkness descends
I am the beginning
The inevitable end
Thriving in shadows where salted wounds mend
Severing the serpent's head
Two grow back in its place instead
With an insatiable taste for blood
Without light, there is no darkness
Without darkness, there is no light
The unfathomable depths of my hatred descends
Encompassing the earth with the flames of my revenge
I am the product of the hate that you have for yourselves
You were always waiting in line at the gates of Hell
Reduced to ash
What’s left will burn
Scorching the earth
Flesh turns to ash beneath the mushroom clouds
Darkness descends
I am the beginning
The inevitable end
Thriving in shadows where salted wounds mend
Embrace the hatred in you
The sun turns black by the smoke from the flames
Return from whence you came
The earth return to a state of decay
Return from whence you came
Without light, there is no darkness
Without darkness, there is no light


10. NIGHTFALLEN

A flame won't burn forever
When you die the world won't remember who you are
Your legacy will die with you
When you die you'll look back at your life to observe
In the end, everyone gets what they deserve
No one can change the world
You can only change the way you see it
You chose to close your eyes and let the world tell you what to believe in
Absolution is for the living
Retribution is forever bleeding
No one will care how much you bled
There is no solace for the dead
When you die the world won't remember who you are
Your legacy will die with you
When you die you'll look back at your life to observe
Heaven is denied to parasites
Despicable waste of human flesh
What will you say with your last breath
You can run but you can't hide
I am the devil tonight
No one can change the world
You can only change the way you see it
You chose to close your eyes and let the world tell you what to believe in
Absolution is for the living
Retribution is for the dead
You can run but you can't hide
I am the devil tonight
You can run but you can't hide
I am the devil tonight
Die


11. WE ARE IMMORTAL

We have to face the demons that thrive in the shadows of our dying hearts
There's still a part of me alive in this rotting shell
My nerves becoming numb, wandering in the depths of hell
Mutated flesh now bears the face of what I've become
It doesn't matter who I was or what I've become
It doesn't matter in the end
I always did what I had to do to survive in a world of bleakness
Bled dry and left to die
Trusting others was always my weakness
Beneath a blackened sky
All life is consumed in darkness
The weak succumb to death
The birds pick at what's left of their carcass
We all die in the end
Right now we live in this moment
Dormant until our strength is awakened
Together we are immortal
We have strength in numbers
Alone, we'll die in the fallout
We can't do this on our own
Together we are immortal
We did this to ourselves
Scorched bones of slaves lay to waste in the fields of their own affliction
Stretching as far as the eye can see
Radiation sinks into shallow flesh
Reanimating their silhouette
I can still hear them screaming at night when I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
I will gladly die for what I believe in
Put a gun to my head and give me a reason
We did this to ourselves
Scorched bones of slaves lay to waste in the fields of their own affliction
Stretching as far as the eye can see
Radiation sinks into shallow flesh
Reanimating their silhouette
I can still hear them screaming at night when I close my eyes
Arise and be who you were meant to be
There's still a part of me alive in this rotting shell
My nerves becoming numb wandering the depths of hell
Mutated flesh now bears the face of what I've become
It doesn't matter who I was or what I've become
It doesn't matter in the end


12. THERE IS NO TOMORROW

I will enshroud myself upon your lands
You will know my trail by the dead that I leave
I will spare no one
I am here to destroy
Total annihilation
Tonight, everyone dies
What have we become
Did we forget who we are
We were meant for so much more
Did we forget who we are
Asleep in reality
Let the universe around us set us free to be who we were meant to be
We set the world on fire
Our time on earth expired
A hopeless darkness overcasts
The swinging gallows of the past
We should have known it all along
The life we lived would never last
Yet we carried on
Amid the scattered carrion
Hoping we're not next in line
Swing from the gallows of the past behind
Everything that we thought we were
Was erased by the flames of the underworld
We destroyed our environment
Forsaking the gift of enlightenment
You'd think that death would be enough
What will it take for us to wake up
Wake up
What will it take for us to wake up
What have we become
Did we forget who we are
We were meant for so much more
Did we forget who we are
Asleep in reality
Let the universe around us set us free to be who we were meant to be
It feels like this world thrives in sorrow
It feels like this world thrives in sorrow
There is no tomorrow
There's no time left for us to borrow
There is no tomorrow
It feels like this world thrives in sorrow
There is no tomorrow In the empty void of the past
We had every chance to make it last
But we kept killing each other
And hating one another
The emptiness inside us grew
We were always damned from the start
A hopeless darkness overcasts
The swinging gallows of the past
We should have known it al lalong
The life we lived would never last
Yet we carried on
Amid the scattered carrion
Hoping we're not next inl ine
Swing from the gallows of the past behind
What will it take for us to wakeup
What have we become
Did we forget who we are
We were meant for so much more
Did we forget who we are
Asleep in reality
Let the universe around us set us free to be who we were meant to be
Aeons of darkness await
Disemodied voices call our names
Voices calling our name
We will never answer for what we have done
That void will swallow the sun
