1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. INTERPLANETARY PORTALS

They're trying to control you
don't want you to understand
It's all an illusion
a human being that's been deceived
But in your mind,
you know there's something wrong
There's something not quite right
And now you sleep with one eye open
for the rest of your life

They don't want you to know
What it means to be alive
They don't want you to feel

Half the world is against you
Don't show an ounce of fear in your eyes
Because humanity's over
And you're on the front line
Try to break you down at all costs
Scheme in rooms that you built
Lambs to the slaughter, fiends on an altar

Won't pledge allegiance to an ideal
Just pledge allegiance to myself

Immoral system that pulls you in
Bound and gagged, soul extracted
To them freedom means nothing
Just another means to an end
Mindless beings to fund a cancer
Human corpses that have no answer


3. LESSER GODS

How does it feel, living on your knees ?
Empty and hollow, shallow and cold
Can't even stand the sight of yourself

Born in the dirt, born in the gutter
Times up and I'm calling you out
People like you weren't built to last
People like me were built to bring you down

A vision of everything I hate
It's not blood coursing through your veins
And I see that fake smile, from a mile away

Won't be led astray by your crooked system
Down a dead end path
That can only lead to my doom

I am the beholder of all you desire


4. THE YEAR IS ONE

Life's its claw aroung my throat
Keeps squeezing harder and harder
Each day no direction to take
Lost in my mind, I still feel the same
Finding it hard to breathe
As the hate of the world comes crushing down around me

All the evil things I've done
They're mounting up and punishing me
Swallow my despair out in the cold
And I'm sorry, but people just don't change
We're born this way

Liars and backstabbers rule the day
All the things that we do
They scare the hell out of me
I can feel your knife like eyes staring at me
You think I'll break you?


5. RIVERS EDGE

I love the smell of your flesh in the morning
Never felt so helpless when I stared at you laying there
Soulless and godless, lifeless and cold
When they ask me why
I'll say it's because you were talking shit

I wonder what it felt like, couldn't feel the pain in your eyes

Don'T think you could handle the aftermath
Never felt cold like this in all my years
Should have been there to witness what was created
Before you met me you were nothing but now you're something so unpure

In an instant, I've damned us both
In an instant, God turned away
Never wanted to be like this
Never visioned my life this way
Bared witness to things no one should ever see

Your blood is on my hands
Blood of the innocent
