Lyrics



1. SMOKING GUN

I see no reason, nothing to believe in,
Just coldness that runs through my veins
A twisted obsession, tormented aggression
Disorder is all that remains

Don't get in my way

No time take cover, Oh there's no where to turn,
The madness will eat you alive
A nightmare discovered, Oh you just never learn,
All that you dread magnified

Look into my eyes, and see what you despise
The loathing that fills you inside
Nowhere to run, you hold the smoking gun
Confiding is your suicide
Yourself you betray

No time take cover, Oh there's no where to turn,
The madness will eat you alive
A Nightmare discovered, Oh you just never learn,
All that you dread magnified


2. CARNIVAL OF LIES

Running from tomorrow, nowhere left to hide
Running from the demons deep inside
Signs are all around me, showing me the way
How to get my fix just one more day

I see the writing on the wall
But I never learn

Pull the lever, ties are severed
In a moment fade to black
The truth is only a disguise
No more hiding or denying
The past keeps haunting me
In a carnival of lies

Stuck in this vicious cycle, oh no getting out
I'm paying for my sins there ain't no doubt
Dig myself in deeper, deeper every day
There's no hope I see no other way

I see the writing on the wall
Will I ever learn

Pull the lever, ties are severed
In a moment fade to black
The truth is only a disguise
No more hiding, or denying
The past keeps haunting me
In a carnival of lies
More day

I see the writing on the wall
But I never learn

Pull the lever, ties are severed
In a moment fade to black
The truth is only a disguise
No more hiding, or denying
The past keeps haunting me
In a carnival of lies

Stuck in this vicious cycle, oh no getting out
I'm paying for my sins there ain't no doubt
Dig myself in deeper, deeper every day
There's no hope I see no other way

I see the writing on the wall
Will I ever learn

Pull the lever, ties are severed
In a moment fade to black
The truth is only a disguise
No more hiding, or denying
The past keeps haunting me
In a carnival of lies


3. IN FOR THE KILL

Taking no chances, defending our will
We're not backing down anymore
As we ready fight, moving in for the kill
Not knowing what lies in store

Ignoring all the sense of fear
The coldness creeping in
The taste of blood our missions clear

Killing, no rules, and we're willing, to die
No returning, no way, from the hell that we're living
Fighting, no fear, and igniting, the fires
Show no mercy, in hell, there can be no forgiving

Into the darkness, into the unknown
No telling what we will find
In a moment reality's faded away
The horror that's etched in our minds

Ignoring all the sense of fear
The coldness creeping in
The taste of blood our missions clear

Killing, no rules, and we're willing, to die
No returning, no way, from the hell that we're living
Fighting, no fear, and igniting, the fires
Show no mercy, in hell, there can be no forgiving
clear

Killing, no rules, and we're willing, to die
No returning, no way, from the hell that we're living
Fighting, no fear, and igniting, the fires
Show no mercy, in hell, there can be no forgiving

Into the darkness, into the unknown
No telling what we will find
In a moment reality's faded away
The horror that's etched in our minds

Ignoring all the sense of fear
The coldness creeping in
The taste of blood our missions clear

Killing, no rules, and we're willing, to die
No returning, no way, from the hell that we're living
Fighting, no fear, and igniting, the fires
Show no mercy, in hell, there can be no forgiving


4. PLAYING DEAD

Open your eyes to what is happening
Open your mind and see
The truth of it all is so hard to believe
Runnin' away from all the madness
Runnin' into the night
What we've been looking for it's in our sight

No warning, no letting go, no, no, no
Transforming, the evil grows

Only the strong will be left standing
Showing our way is clear
Wiping away the sense of any fear
Standing for what we believe in
No giving up our soul
Looking into a future we control

No warning, no letting go, no, no, no
Transforming, the evil grows

No more playing dead
On our way to reckoning
All the blood that's shed
Now we've given everything
It's in our sight

No warning, no letting go, no, no, no
Transforming, the evil grows

Only the strong will be left standing
Showing our way is clear
Wiping away the sense of any fear
Standing for what we believe in
No giving up our soul
Looking into a future we control

No warning, no letting go, no, no, no
Transforming, the evil grows

No more playing dead
On our way to reckoning
All the blood that's shed
Now we've given everything


5. IMAGINING

I'm moving on
I hear destiny callin' my name
By tomorrow I'm gone
I'll be on my way

Now I can't complain
I've had everything a man ever needs
As I look to the sky
It carries me away

I feel the light shining down on me
As I look around, I'm astounded by what I see

Imagining, I can't resist, Am I imagining a world like this maybe
I'm wrong maybe I'm living on a different page
This is where I belong, it's what my heart demands
I keep pushing ahead
I'll never give up on my dream
Taking a chance, following no plan
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm living on a different page
This is where I belong, it's what my heart demands
I keep pushing ahead
I'll never give up on my dream
Taking a chance, following no plan


6. THE OFFERING

Into the night, we're unleashing the unknown
As fallen angels lead the way
Fuelling the fire, are we opening the door
Releasing hell and disarray
As we follow one by one
From the darkness we are born now it's begun
Day of judgment has arrived
Out from the ashes, a longing desire
Now our souls are climbing higher
Craving the flesh, in the flames we will unite
The darkest hour closing in
Faces of pain, as the offering begins
A sign from unknown origins
As we follow one by one
From the darkness we are freed and it's begun
Day of judgment in our hands
Out from the ashes, our only desire
As our souls are climbing higher


7. PURE EVIL

Look in the mirror
It can't get much clearer
There's something that's lurking within
A sinister smile
Your lies have compiled
Hiding the ultimate sin

I see pure evil in your eyes
Wicked and vile
This hatred is your own demise
Patiently waiting, and anticipating
The fear as it crawls up your spine
The forsaken at peace
As you unleash the beast
No way back you've crossed the line

I see pure evil in your eyes
Sick and depraved
This hatred is your own demise
I see pure evil in your eyes
Wicked and vile
This hatred is your own demise
Heaven defile

I see pure evil in your eyes
Sick and depraved
This hatred is your own demise
You're evil's slave


8. I DON'T BELONG

Running in circles
And chasing what doesn't exist
I don't know what to do
Somewhere it's hiding
And waiting to unmask it's face
Reveal another clue

If I could just wave my hand
And wish it away
Disguise in tomorrow

I don't belong
Oh this can't go on anymore
It's been too long
It's time now to even the score

Surrounded by troubles
And not knowing where to turn
Still it puzzles me
The cries of a madman

Echoing all through my head
With screams of agony

If I could just wave my hand
And wish it away
Concealing the sorrow

I don't belong
Oh this can't go on anymore
It's been too long
It's time now to even the score
Reveal another clue

If I could just wave my hand
And wish it away
Disguiseing tomorrow

I don't belong
Oh this can't go on anymore
It's been too long
It's time now to even the score

Surrounded by troubles
And not knowing where to turn
Still it puzzles me
The cries of a madman
Echoing all through my head
With screams of agony

If I could just wave my hand
And wish it away
Concealing the sorrow

I don't belong
Oh this can't go on anymore
It's been too long
It's time now to even the score


9. WRITTEN IN BLOOD

Forbidden revenge
Dealing with fate
In profound circumstance

Will haste prevail
Can truth now be told
How can we begin

We're running out of time
No excuses remain, Is all hope in vain

Written in Blood, It's the bond we share
The strength we show as one
Written in Blood
It's our destiny

Regardless of the quest
Our mission is clear
We're never giving up

Stand and unite
The cause for which we fight
Is always sincere

Written in Blood
Strength in numbers as we forge ahead

Written in Blood, It's our destiny
The strength we show as one
Written in Blood
It's our destiny

Regardless of the quest
Our mission is clear
We're never giving up

Stand and unite
The cause for which we fight
Is always sincere

Written in Blood
Strength in numbers as we forge ahead

Written in Blood, It's our destiny


10. GUILTY AS CHARGED

In a time, long ago
The innocence, how could I know
What lied ahead, what waited there for me
Was the path I chose, laced in gold
Or would I perish in the cold
Dreaming of a time I left behind

Is this real, or fantasy
What I feel, it overpowers me
I've had enough, but can't let go, I've got to know
If what I'm believing

I'm lost, save me

I've fallen from grace
What cost, I'm paying now you see
The guilt in my face

Gaze into forgotten past
Hiding from the hourglass
Watching as the days just fade away

If what I am seeing is true

Holding on, to memories gone
Save me from myself
What lies ahead, time will tell

Gaze into forgotten past
Hiding from the hourglass
Watching as the days just fade away

If what I am seeing is true

Holding on, to memories gone
Save me from myself
What lies ahead, time will tell


11. MARSHALL LAW

Switchblade, Axes, Screaming from the stacks
Fingers start to counter to prepare for attack
Lips both severed from eating the strings
Blood flowing study as my axe starts to sing

Marshall Law

Suicide roadies blow this place to the ground
They overload the circuits as we increase the sound
Total destruction out that's the price you pay
A loss of hearing that just won't go away

Marshall Law

Switchblade, Axes, Screaming from the stacks
Fingers start to counter to prepare for attack
Lips both severed from eating the strings
Blood flowing steady as my axe starts to sing
