1. A REQUIEM FOR TOMORROW

Agnus Dei qui tollis
Peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem
Dona eis requiem

Entwined in blind naivety
Your minds confined by deities
Accelerate demise in motion
Devastate all that you've known

Decay, a requiem for tomorrow
Forevers yesterday
Self imposed denial

Entwined in blind naivety
Your minds confined by deities
Accelerate demise in motion
Devastate all that you've known

Compromised, castrated
Shell of a broken dream
Build it up, tear it down
Wipe the slate clean

Disdain, dismantle, deconstruct
The weak are born detained
Deceit was born of trust

Entwined in blind naivety
Your minds confined by deities
Accelerate demise in motion
Devastate all that you've known

Heard but never seen
Hope but never dream

We're falling far away
(We're falling far away)
I'm not the enemy, it's not the end of me
Complete your fall from grace
(Complete your fall from grace)
There's something left for us today

Beneath the beaten heart
Behind the broken mind
Moments unrelenting
Find you circumventing time

Time slips away, cast away sanity
Can no longer hide your

Decay, a requiem for tomorrow
Forevers yesterday
Self imposed denial

Entwined in blind naivety
Your minds confined by deities
Accelerate demise in motion
Devastate all that you've known

Heard but never seen
Hope but never dream

We're falling far away
(We're falling far away)
I'm not the enemy, it's not the end of me
Complete your fall from grace
(Complete your fall from grace)
There's something left for us today

We're falling far away
(We're falling far away)
I'm not the enemy, it's not the end of me
Complete your fall from grace
(Complete your fall from grace)
There's something left for us today

2. MADNESS WITHIN

It feels like the weight of the world
Is constantly pulling it down
Breaking and buckling and shaking this fucking
Whole goddamn thing right to the ground
It feels like the weight of the world
Is constantly pulling it down
Breaking and buckling and shaking this fucking
Whole goddamn thing right to the ground

You call this fucking crazy?
I've seen it all before
Half withdrawn and carrying on
Like there's no reason to be alive anymore

All unwell
Are welcome one and all
The insane and the strange
Invited all the same

We're on the verge of total destruction
Yet still too self absorbed to care
Can't speak, can't think, can barely function
It's hard to tell if we're even there

Madness, madness
It's just our personal
Madness, madness
Insanity's taking hold
Madness, madness
Cash in, it's time to fold
Madness, madness
Surrender to the madness within

Postcards from the funny farm
Regurgitated call to arms
The echoes of the past begin to sing
The age of reason's come and gone
Into oblivion and beyond
Await with terror what tomorrow brings
Embrace the cage or plot your escape

We're on the verge of total destruction
Yet still too self absorbed to care
Can't speak, can't think, can barely function
It's hard to tell if we're even there

Madness, madness
It's just our personal
Madness, madness
Insanity's taking hold
Madness, madness
Cash in, it's time to fold
Madness, madness
Surrender to the madness within

Ashes to ashes, ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes we all fall down

Vapor trails, skyscraper failures
Puncture structures who's crutches were tailored
Ashes to ashes, ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes we all fall down

It feels like the weight of the world
Is constantly pulling it down
Breaking and buckling and shaking this fucking
Whole goddamn thing right to the ground
It feels like the weight of the world
Is constantly pulling it down
Breaking and buckling and shaking this fucking
Whole goddamn thing right to the ground

Madness, madness
It's nothing personal
Madness, madness
Insanity's taken hold
Madness, madness
Cash in, it's time to fold
Madness, madness
Defenders of the madness within

3. SEEN IT ALL

Rig the game, we're still playing to win
Thrust upon the precipice of virtue and sin
In pursuit of our dreams, sidestepping the screams
As we navigate this wonderful life

Rig the game, we're still playing to win
Thrust upon the precipice of virtue and sin
In pursuit of our dreams, sidestepping the screams
As we navigate this wonderful life

Downpours and waterfalls
So wonderful to see it all
Downpours and waterfalls
So wonderful until we've seen it all

These scars unite us
These ties that bind us
Tethered together
Forever we weather the storm
The blood of the righteous
This flood will define us
The bruised, the battered
The tattered and the torn

Darkest days evaporating
Waiting for the rain to bring your

Downpours and waterfalls
So wonderful to see it all
Downpours and waterfalls
So wonderful until we've seen it all

These scars unite us
These ties that bind us
Tethered together
Forever we weather the storm
The blood of the righteous
This flood will define us
The bruised, the battered
The tattered and the torn

Darkest days evaporating
Waiting for the rain to bring your

Downpours and waterfalls
So wonderful to see it all
Downpours and waterfalls
So wonderful until we've seen it all

Don't say to me, don't say we're home
Don't say to me we're all alone
Refuse to kneel to their throne
Refuse to fade into the unknown

Downpours and waterfalls
So wonderful to see it all
Downpours and waterfalls
So wonderful until we've seen it all

(Until we've seen it all)
(Until we've seen it all)
(Until we've seen it all)
Until we've seen it all

(Until we've seen it all)
(Until we've seen it all)
(Until we've seen it all)
Until we've seen it all


4. THE HERESY

We feed the war machine
The sacrifice has just begun
We feed the war machine

Hide your daughters, your first born sons
As we welcome all your catastrophe
All the hate, all the lies and the heresy
How divine that every time you hide in denial
Suicidal kings

You are my poison
Poseidon beside me
Pontius is present
And god is beside me
The tide tends to wave
In a foul disposition

Hide your daughters, your first born sons
As we welcome all your catastrophe
All the hate, all the lies and the heresy
How divine that every time you hide in denial
Suicidal kings

We feed the war machine
Suicidal kings
We feed the war machine
Suicidal

Foster the future and nurture the land
Stitches and sutures, divisions in sand
Mass evacuations, sanctions for land
It's time we stand for something
Walking hand in hand

Foster the future and nurture the land
Stitches and sutures, divisions in sand
Mass evacuations, sanctions for land
It's time we stand for something
Walking hand in hand

We feed the war machine
The sacrifice has just begun
We feed the war machine

Hide your daughters, your first born sons
As we welcome all your catastrophe
All the hate, all the lies and the heresy
How divine (We feed the war machine)
Every time you hide in denial (We feed the war machine)
Suicidal kings


5. WHAT A SHAME

With a heavy heart and a black mark on my soul
This burden's a bastard that we have all known
In a world without heroes just abandoned thrones
All is gone, all is gone

While gangs of the ignorant extol their intolerance
Sweeping the streets while preaching their nonsense
Your soul is on fire, your world is in flames
What a shame, what a shame

To behold this act's getting old
Pack up the tents and send the circus home
Move it on down the line, a catastrophic pantomime
The last to know, the first in line time after time

Life in a pile of ashes
Plight of the vile and disastrous

While gangs of the ignorant extol their intolerance
Sweeping the streets while preaching their nonsense
Your soul is on fire, your world is in flames
What a shame, what a shame

To behold this act's getting old
Pack up the tents and send the circus home
Move it on down the line, a catastrophic pantomime
The last to know, the first in line time after time

Life in a pile of ashes
Plight of the vile and disastrous

While you're praying for a savior
Anticipating, awaiting their failure

Cross the t's and dot the i's
Another Christ to crucify
These filthy hands and guilty eyes
Blind concubine

With a heavy heart and a black mark on my soul
This burden's a bastard that we have all known
In a world without heroes just abandoned thrones
All is gone, all is gone

With a heavy heart and a black mark on my soul
This burden's a bastard that we have all known
In a world without heroes just abandoned thrones
All is gone, all is gone


6. PULSE

With a rhyme in a laugh we shrug it off
With a word in a phrase we mourn the loss
Please save us all from the preaching
Inhale the blasphemy
Behold what you can't see
We're pouring our souls out and bleeding
We're pouring our souls out and bleeding

Baptized in lies
You're gonna need all of our prayers
And the whole damn congregation to save you
Toward your demise
You're gonna need all of our prayers
And the whole damn congregation to save your soul

With a rhyme in a laugh we shrug it off
With a word in a phrase we mourn the loss
Please save us all from the preaching
Please save us all from the preaching
Inhale the blasphemy
Behold what you can't see
We're pouring our souls out
We're pouring our souls out

Baptized in lies
You're gonna need all of our prayers
And the whole damn congregation to save you
Toward your demise
You're gonna need all of our prayers
And the whole damn congregation to save your soul

That all who wish to rise may rise again
To touch the stars and fly upon the wind
For those who know the most tragic of ends
Is not to die, but never to have lived

When you were young, oh, how the sun shone
And beneath your feet, the greenest of grass would grow
Your time has come, see the grass from below
And the procession of all who've loved letting go

Dies Irae dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Dies Irae dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla

7. CARRY ON

(You swore to carry on)

I hear the whistle of the wind in the sins of innocence
Relevance reminiscent present in this dissidence
Evidence malevolence, an elegant resemblance
Temperamental like my mental chemical imbalances
Battle damaged challenges saddled by this baggage
And when it's time to manage this then everybody vanishes
I'm standing up to walk it off, talk it out or chalk it up
Volatile Molotov one day we all will fall

Is there a soul who can save me tonight?
Is there a soul who can save me tonight?
Save my soul
Along this road with a cross to bear
You swore to carry on, save me

You swore to carry on
You swore to carry on

Gone in an instant
As time creates distance
Preachers and poachers
Breach Moses within us
Cold calculations
The shame of a nation
Misguided civilians
Designed by division

You swore to carry on
You swore to carry on

Is there a soul who can save me tonight?
Is there a soul who can save me tonight?
Save my soul
Along this road with a cross to bear
You swore to carry on, save me

To know the bitter toll of life
No more resides inside
Behold and grant us all the strength
We seek to rise beyond

Is there a soul who can save me tonight?
Is there a soul who can save me tonight?
Save my soul
Along this road with a cross to bear
You swore to carry on, save me

You swore to carry on
You swore to carry on


8. THE TIME HAS COME

Time has come, the battle lines are drawn
Revealed directive
Time has come, from king and queen to pawn
Concealed objective
Time has come, march to the gates of dawn
Initiate the end inside

Turn this blank page
For a brand new slate
A lost parade
A last chance serenade

I see through your masquerade
A charlatan all charade
Your fate lies in waste
And decays
Your faith decays
(All along, the pyres of the dead were burning)

Time has gone, doomed to relive the past
Repeat obsession
Unknown sons pray to their predators
Reclaimed possession
Lost empires sing the chorus of their devastation

I see through your masquerade
A charlatan all charade
Your fate lies in waste
And decays

We're gonna need that evac asap
Need that bring that beat back
Need that evac asap
Need that bring that beat back

Messiahs, liars and dignitaries
All things move toward their end
Dictators, traitors and adversaries
All things move toward their end
Walking toward tomorrow
Torn by sorrow, blind to light

We're gonna need that evac asap
Need that bring that beat back
Need that evac asap
Need that bring that beat back

Empires in fire, forever disgraced
All things move toward their end
Desires expired, condemned to this plague
All things move toward their end
Broken, torn and hollow
Mourn tomorrow's endless fight

Time will tell as it always prevails
Detailing all our faults, our flaws
False starts and fails
Nurtured, perverted, undone

Time has come, initiate the end
The end inside
Time has come, initiate the end
The end inside

Messiahs, liars and dignitaries
All things move toward their end
Dictators, traitors and adversaries
All things move toward their end
Walking toward tomorrow
Torn by sorrow, blind to light


9. 11TH HOUR

Waiting on the call one day
Waiting to be led astray
Waiting for the promise, for the dream to come true
(Like sheep to the shepherd)
Waiting to believe the claims
Waiting but it's all the same
Waiting for a signal, for a sign to come through
(Outcast like the lepers)
All alone
On the edge of losing hope
Exactly where they want you

Don't pledge your life, don't hold your breath
Don't sacrifice it all until there's nothing left
Sacrifice

Waiting for the rain to cleanse
Praying that this pain will end
Thanks for nothing, I knew I could count on you
(Inconsequential)
As another nightmare ends
Brave enough to dream again
Believe in something that might not come true
([?])
Why hold on
When the cost of letting go
Is less than blind devotion?
([?])

Don't pledge your life, don't hold your breath
Don't sacrifice it all until there's nothing left
Sacrifice
Sacrifice
Sacrifice
Until there's nothing left at all

Don't sacrifice it all

Unfulfilled prophecies rust
Another cold reader to bleed us

(Unfulfilled) prophecies rust
Envy, greed, pride, and lust
Where do you place your trust?
So believe what you must
(Unfulfilled) prophecies rust
Envy, greed, pride, and lust
Where do you place your trust?
So believe what you must

Can't sit still
How can you fill a void that will not heal
A gaping wound that cannot be sealed
As you feel the sting of shame and guilt

Can't sit still
How can you fill a void that will not heal
A gaping wound that cannot be sealed
As you feel the sting of shame and guilt


10. I AM THE ONE

I can no longer abide
Can no longer subscribe
So cancel me from this convoluted vanity
Keep it all

I am the one that you love to hate
I am the one that you hate to love
I am the one that you love to hate
I am the one that you hate

Break left, break right
I see the end in sight
Let's keep it tight let's keep it tight
Break left, break right
I see the end in sight
Blinded by the night
Let's keep it tight let's keep it tight

Fences you mend
Well wishes you send
Still nobody gives a fuck in the end
Fences you mend
Well wishes you send
Still nobody gives a fuck in the end

Hated adversary
Faith collapsed, insanity

I can no longer abide
Can no longer subscribe
So cancel me from this convoluted vanity
Keep it all

I am the one that you love to hate
I am the one that you hate to love
I am the one that you love to hate
I am the one that you hate

Poisoned, polluted and easy to kill
Brainwashed, your mind's lost surrendered at will

Hated adversary
Faith collapsed, insanity
Hated adversary
Faith collapsed, insanity

Fences you mend
Well wishes you send
Still nobody gives a fuck in the end

I can no longer abide
Can no longer subscribe
So cancel me from this convoluted vanity
Keep it all

I am the one that you love to hate
I am the one that you hate to love
I am the one that you love to hate
I am the one that you hate


11. THE FLOOD

Please accept this life we've prepared for you
All of the ways we've taken care for you
Is this not something that they expected you to do?
How could you not want your destiny handed down to you?

They leave a trail of betrayal and breadcrumbs
As they lie right to our face

In this flood that won't subside
We're swallowed by the tide
The ending has begun
Till one and one and one are none
As if all you've loved has died
Reach for an empty sky
The ending has begun
Till one and one and one are none

Reject this life that's prepared for you
All of the ways we've taken care for you
How dare you not do what's been demanded of you?
Sit back, relax, the only way out is through

They leave a trail of betrayal and breadcrumbs
As they lie right to our face
Referendums pending trials and headstones
Broken promises at traitors gate

In this flood that won't subside
We're swallowed by the tide
The ending has begun
Till one and one and one are none
As if all you've loved has died
Reach for an empty sky
The ending has begun
Till one and one and one are none

While you make believe
Let us make all of your dreams come true
For just a small fee
We can provide the perfect life for you

Can we change
Can we rearrange
Plague of insanity
Fate of humanity
No comprehension
No understanding
In all our vanity
Our tragic fallacy
As they lie right to our face

In this flood that won't subside
We're swallowed by the tide
The ending has begun
Till one and one and one are none
As if all you've loved has died
Reach for an empty sky
The ending has begun
Till one and one and one are none


12. WHERE THE END BEGINS

Once in a lifetime, 10,000 years old
I should of known only you'd be so bold
The hunger calls for the feeding
The feeding calls for us all
Once in a lifetime, 10,000 years old
I should of known only you'd be so bold
The hunger calls for the feeding
The feeding calls for us all

Can you tell me where we start over?
Can you tell me where the end begins?
Can you tell me why the crucifix is on the floor
(Can you tell me why)
And the losers always seem to win?

Places never meant to find
The faintest glimpse of keyhole light
Reveals a figure's finger beckoning
Wagers placed into the fire
Beyond the threshold of desire
From forced hands comes a final reckoning
Leave the illusion behind

Can you tell me where we start over?
Can you tell me where the end begins?
Can you tell me why the crucifix is on the floor
(Can you tell me why)
And the losers always seem to win?
Can you tell me where we start over?
Can you tell me where the end begins?
Can you tell me why the crucifix is on the floor
(Can you tell me why)
And the losers always seem to win?

Can you tell me where we start over?
Can you tell me where the end begins?
Can you tell me why the crucifix is on the floor
(Can you tell me why)
And the losers always seem to win?

Places never meant to find
The faintest glimpse of keyhole light
Reveals a figure's finger beckoning
Wagers placed into the fire
Beyond the threshold of desire
From forced hands comes a final reckoning
Leave the illusion behind
With the illusion divide

If nothing feels like you wanted wanted it to
Does no one realize we've fallen fallen into

We'll recreate tomorrow
And please you with our sorrow
And plead the end to swallow us whole
(Swallow us whole)
If life cannot contain us
And dying cannot save us
We'll reach the end within our soul

If nothing feels like you wanted wanted it to
Does no one realize we've fallen fallen into
(Our own design)


14. CONFUTATIS

Confutatis maledictis
Flammis acribus addictis
Confutatis maledictis
Flammis acribus addictis
Voca me, voca me cum benedictis
Confutatis maledictis
Flammis acribus addictis
Flammis acribus addictis
Voca me, voca me, voca me cum benedictis, benedictis
Voca me, voca me cum benedictis
Confutatis maledictis
Flammis acribus addictis
Flammis acribus addictis
Voca me, voca me, voca me cum benedictis, benedictis
Voca me cum benedictis


15. SOUND OF DESTRUCTION

Chains on us all as we march towards a war
Life or death with our last breath this flag will not fall
Chains on us all as we march towards a war
Life or death with our last breath this flag will not fall

There comes a time we must break with the past
Hold it close through
The craze of the maze and the traps
How about it now
Those that were lost there and back
Testifying, trying
Hindsight is blind to the facts
Bring it back
To a time when we shined in our past
Holding on to
The wind in our face and our back's
Until the sun
Those days I would never trade back
Everyone
I ever loved I hope you know that's a fact

Flashbacks and trashbags, time lapse and false flags
Remember the past and the collapse of our last gasp
We're losing our grip as it slips through our grasp
We can't comprehend, we can't complete the task

And the whole world's falling down to the sound of destruction
Feel the hellfire and the brimstone, see it all come tumbling down
There's never been a better time for the sound of destruction
Feel the hellfire and the brimstone, see it all come tumbling down

My head is disconnected
My thoughts to desecrate in disarray
The wrath of a thousand centuries
Bear witness to humanity brought to its knees

Fast track to the fast lane
Abstract lost train last stand
It's time to set it off
Molotov and a gas can maybe we can stay away
From the past, the pain and the disarray
Fast track to the fast lane
Away from the pain and the disarray

Flashbacks and trashbags, time lapse and false flags
Remember the past and the collapse of our last gasp
We're losing our grip as it slips through our grasp
We can't comprehend, we can't complete the task

And the whole world's falling down to the sound of destruction
Feel the hellfire and the brimstone, see it all come tumbling down
There's never been a better time for the sound of destruction
Feel the hellfire and the brimstone, see it all come tumbling down

There comes a time we must break with the past
Hold it close through
The craze of the maze and the traps
How about it now
Those that were lost there and back
Testifying, trying
Hindsight is blind to the facts
Bring it back
To a time when we shined in our past
Holding on to
The wind in our face and our back's
Until the sun
Those days I would never trade back
Everyone
I ever loved I hope you know that's a fact

And the whole world's falling down to the sound of destruction
Feel the hellfire and the brimstone, see it all come tumbling down
There's never been a better time for the sound of destruction
Maybe we can stay away from the past, the pain and the disarray

Disarray
Till all come tumbling down
Disarray
Till all come tumbling down


16. ANOTHER GHOST

Somewhere between where your birth and death collide
Buried beneath all the darkest thoughts inside
Stripped of the last ounce of your pride
I tried to make you proud
A lifetime of regret
I tried to make you proud
Another to resent
I tried to make you proud

It's been a long road and I've walked it all alone
Born into a hellhole and I've never called it home
A king without a castle another asshole lost control
Prone to the irrational, passion unknown

I tried to make you proud
But I am tired now
The weight and the wear
The state of disrepair

Embracing the dawn or facing the fall
Living or dying or racing toward it all?
Embracing the dawn or facing the fall
Living or dying or racing toward it all?

I tried to make you proud
But I am tired now
The weight and the wear
The state of disrepair

Passion unknown
Passion unknown
Passion unknown
Prone to the irrational, passion unknown

Passion unknown
You've never seen me
Passion unknown
Not the real me
Passion unknown
I'm just another ghost
Lost and alone wondering where it all went wrong

I tried to make you proud
But I am tired now
The weight and the wear
The state of disrepair


17. LACRIMOSA

Lacrimosa dies illa
Lacrimosa dies illa
Lacrimosa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Qua resurget ex favilla
Qua resurget ex favilla
Lacrimosa dies illa
Lacrimosa dies illa
Lacrimosa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Qua resurget ex favilla
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandos homo reus
Dona eis requiem
Judicandos homo reus
Dona eis requiem
Dona eis requiem
