1. Praying For Confession

Life, life is such a ridiculous word if you think of it.
Eventually, we all take life for granted.
It's not until we take that last gasp of air before we truly can appreciate the simplicity of seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling and tasting life.
Death, ha...death comes to us all

Of father please forgive my sins, I've take lives with my bear hands
This guilt has grown inside of me, I cannot cry, nor can I hide

I broke the glass, reflection died
The mirror lies, deformed and blind
I cannot face my image more
I've cut my hand, bled for my land
A child with no name is easier to mould
A mouth of no words, far better controlled
No one to claim his rights, to say goodnight
Letting my hate grow up before I could
I became the hands of god

[Adam Evangelista:] Father forgive me father, for I have sinned.
[Father Cavallero Dimori:] When was your last confession my child?
[Adam Evangelista:] This is my very first...


2. Seven Days

I'm here to clear my conscience for a while
Let you know what kind of monster I am
Taking life, that is the only gift
Of which I have been blessed with
Always disguised, even your eyes they lie

I have carried on for centuries
Taking orders from the men of the light
Making sure I'm always paid enough
I'm greedy you know
11 bags of cash
Blood money barely touched

I shed a tear
I didn't know I had them
Last time I cried it was for fear
Those memories I thought I've long forgotten
Haunt me at night, like the howling winds outside
Killing is how I stay alive

Just like your lord created earth in seven days
That's what I have, no second more to mark my pray
I am the wolf and they are sheep, easy to tame
There's no crime
In praying for time
Seven Days

A mission to detain democracy
In a land where a red rose makes the rules
I hope this other half enjoyed the flick
At the cinema show
No guard in sight, the stairs, a freedom path

I shed a tear
I didn't know I had them
Last time I cried it was for fear
Those memories I thought I've long forgotten
Haunt me at night, like the howling winds outside
Killing is how I stay alive

Just like your lord created earth in seven days
That's what I have, no second more to mark my pray
I am the wolf and they are sheep, easy to tame
There's no crime
In praying for time
Seven Days

One shot's enough for a red rose to wither

[Spoken:]
How straight is your spine after I'm done

Let the angels cry and carry you home
Sleep like a stone, your time here is done

In time I will dance on your grave
In time I will dance

Condemn me
I'm guilty
Candles blow out when you're near

Just like your lord created earth in seven days
That's what I have, no second more to mark my pray
I am the wolf and they are sheep, easy to tame
There's no crime
In praying for time
Seven Days

I know you
Despise you
But I need your help


3. Assassination

Hope is at large
Sweet Novocain
Condemnation
Frozen in time, covering my years, you are the savior

Take these pills, you say
Chase the world away
I rush to drink some water
Holy water boils
Say can you heal this sad headache
The morphine of my life

The bells of desecration
Always ringing in my ears
As the shadows of deception
Might arrest the best of me
Oh priest, please help me

Assassination
It's in my nature
Show me the gold
A hand full for a restless tomb
Assassination
Sowing this nation
Cynical world
No matter how rich you are
Always a price on your head
The joke's on you

Three shots in the head
Enough to clear his mind
A rather fading color
Weakening your bones
Crossing the lake
Baring the flame
Intentions have gone mad

The bells desecration
Always ringing in my ears
As the shadows of deception
Might arrest the best of me
Oh pr
