1. CHOOSE YOUR SIDE

You're cast out, but you refuse to fall in line
Held down, because you opened up your eyes
Cast out, because you didn't fit the mold
Held down, but you will never be controlled

They fill up our heads with fear
To try to manipulate
They tell us how we should feel
Time to break these chains
They are all the same
Cheap duplications
No identity
Time to break these chains

You're cast out, but you refuse to fall in line
Held down, because you opened up your eyes
Cast out, because you didn't fit the mold
Held down, but you will never be controlled

You search in the corners of your mind
Looking for a place to draw the line
Unfazed, I refuse to be a clone
Determined to face this world on my own

Mindless and empty or alone?
The leper or the blind?
Acceptance or your mind?
What will you sacrifice?
What will you sacrifice?

This is the end
No compromise
The choice remains
So choose your side


2. DUST INTO DUST

Your heart has turned into stone
False idols sit upon the throne
The seed choked out by the thorns
Left in the dust, tattered and torn
You'll reap what you have sown

Reap what you've sown
So beg, beg for forgiveness
Lying through your teeth
You'll pay for all the hurt you caused
Fall to your knees
You'll get what you deserve
You'll get what you deserve
Fall to your knees
You'll get what you deserve

The judgement for your corruption
The payment for your misdeeds
Embrace the endless destruction
The cost of all your deceit

You'll die alone
No longer sitting on your throne
Another lost to the storm
Drowning in blood as locusts swarm
You'll reap what you have sown
Judgement

Dust into dust
Eternal despair
Drown in the blood
This is your sentence
Time's up
Dust into dust
Eternal despair
Drown in the blood
This is your sentence
Nowhere to run
You fall to your knees
Dying alone
You'll face your judgement
Your time is up

Judgement


3. BENEATH THE SURFACE

This world is cold
The darkness drains us of all hope
The harsh reflection of our souls
Every image that we bury in our minds
Will be the ones that cut us deep and twist the knife

This world is cold
Corruption rises from beneath the surface
No control
The paths we walk are always paved in misery
Dismayed
Fixated on the lies we keep believing
No control
It wears us down until it brings us to our knees

Stare silently into the flames
Watch as existence burns away
The punishment for our mistakes
Stare silently into the flames
Watch as existence burns away
The punishment for our mistakes
Callous and unashamed

This world is cold
The darkness drains us of all hope
The harsh reflection of our souls
Every image that we bury in our minds
Will be the ones that cut us deep and twist the knife

Stare silently into the flames
Watch as existence burns away
The punishment for our mistakes
Stare silently into the flames

We'll watch it burn away
We'll watch it burn away
We'll watch it all burn


4. DECEIVER OR DECEIVED

Prosperity comes with a price
Hope it was worth the sacrifice
You sold your soul, now sell your lies
Every conviction cast aside
No honesty, no guilt, no pride

You celebrate all your deceit
Bury the cruel reality
Trapped in a life consumed by greed
You spread your poison to the weak

Build your empire on the backs of the ignorant
No sympathy as they bleed

Are you deceiver or deceived?
Deluded healer or diseased?
Are you deceiver or deceived?
No sympathy as they bleed

You build upon the backs of the ignorant
Indifferent to the ones you've forsaken
You build upon the backs of the ignorant
You sold your soul, no sympathy as they bleed

Enslaved
Into corruption you fade
There is no escape
A debt that can't be repaid
There is no escape
No, no escape
The cost of arrogance

Misguided or weak minded
Deceiver or deceived
Misguided or weak minded
I won't trust a word you speak


5. DEATH FROM ABOVE

Death by a thousand cuts
Buildings will crumble, towers will fall
We'll watch the world collapse
As it is swallowed in smoke and ash
Death from above
Fire rains from the sky
Death from above
As every well runs dry

Take until there's nothing left
But the emptiness remains
Sinking to the darkest depths
All we leave behind is pain

Pain, all we leave behind is pain
Hate and the curse of endless suffering

Bury your head down in the sand
Drown out the sound of the dying men
Ignore the cries of the innocent
Just turn away as they're all condemned
Death from above

Death by a thousand cuts
Buildings will crumble, towers will fall
We'll watch the world collapse
As it is swallowed in smoke and ash
Death from above
Fire rains from the sky
Death from above
As every well runs dry

No signs of life, no bones left to decay
Reduced to ash, shadows remain
No signs of life, no bones left to decay
A blinding flash, reduced to ash, shadows remain

You can't cover up the misery
When every shadow tells the stories of the suffering

Endless suffering
You can't cover up the misery
When every shadow tells the stories of the suffering
Every shadow tells the stories of the suffering


6. INTO THE EMPTINESS

Another innocent death
In isolation, breathing their last breath
From abandonment
Into the emptiness
You can pass the blame
But I will never forget
From abandonment
Another innocent death

You can't wash away the stains
When every moment is a reminder of the pain
You can’t wash away the stains
When every moment is a reminder of the agony

Victims of circumstance
Or lack of common sense?
Selfish and ignorant
Save your breath because your words mean nothing to me
The truth you try to deny
To ease your fractured mind
Can't look you in the eye
Save your breath because your words mean nothing to me

Another innocent death
In isolation, breathing their last breath
From abandonment
Into the emptiness
You can pass the blame
But I will never forget
From abandonment
Another innocent death
Another innocent death
Can't let this happen again

Your word means nothing
Nothing
I won’t forget
I won't forget


7. DISCONNECTED

Losing sight
Lost in a world of black and white
Too blind to see the signs

I can still feel the judgment
Piercing through my skin
Seeping through the cracks in the surface
Spewing your ideals, a flawed perception of perfection
Lost in a world of black and white
You close your eyes and try to hide
Lost in a world of black and white

Deaf to their desperate pleas
Ignore the weak

Ignore the weak
Ignore the suffering
Condemn them all
Ignore the weak
Ignore the suffering
Condemn them all

Hide inside behind the walls of your ivory tower
Your silence is compliance in their darkest hour
No hand to pull them through
You turn your face away
And tighten the noose

Disconnected
Confined to your sanctuary
Blindfolded as you kneel
So quick to point the finger
You can bury the truth, but I know you feel
Disconnected
You can bury the truth
You can't accept it
Disconnected
You can bury the truth
You can't accept it
Disconnected


8. CYCLE OF ABUSE

Your eyes, your eyes tell the story, tell the story
One look and I can see right through you, I can see right through
How could you sacrifice everything all for a moment of peace?
Trading a voice of reason
For a selfish release

They say blood is thicker than water
But your blood gets thinner every day
They say blood is thicker than water
But your blood gets thinner every day

Your blood gets thinner every day
A life of misery

You poison your body
You poison your mind
You poison everything around you
I'll never be like you

Stuck in the cycle of abuse
I'll never be like you
Trapped inside a lie, you've been consumed
I'll never be like you

Your eyes, your eyes tell the story, tell the story
One look and I can see right through you, I can see right through
How could you sacrifice everything all for a moment of peace?
Trading a voice of reason
For a selfish release
I'll never be like you


9. A FINAL FAREWELL

Left to suffer, day after day
Until I sink beneath the earth to wither away
Left to suffer and decay
Until I sink beneath the earth to wither away

I try to hide it but I'm tearing at the seams
And there's no relief
I try to hide it but I'm tearing at the seams
Unending, descending, no relief

This sorrow burns in me
I feel the aching from within
As the splintered memories
Burrow deeper in my skin
My hope begins to die
As my soul begins to fade
Looking up to a darkened sky
I accept my fate

Life, life is swept away
In death's embrace
Life is swept away
In death's embrace

With my name carved into stone
My spirit is released
Leave behind flesh and bone
To dwell in the unseen

Life is swept away
A final farewell

A final farewell
All that's left is an empty shell
A final farewell
All that's left is an empty shell
