1. BLACK

Deep inside this hole where no life sees
Emptiness surrounding everything
Deafening silence speaks my ears bleed
Clotting remnants of emotion

Black

Loathing in my amnesty
Underneath lucidity

Drowning in the absence of
Conscious inner faith
Submerged in theology
Breathing in the fluid

Black

Swimming through the seas of nothing
Drowning in the waves of absent feeling
Choking on the fluid that submerges me

I can't see beyond the colors
Of this blackened mind
Isolated deep within
Severed nerves feel nothing
Choking on the fluid that
Is submerging me

Deep inside this hole where no life sees
Emptiness surrounding everything
Deafening silence speaks my ears bleed
Clotting remnants of emotion

Black

Loathing in my amnesty
Underneath lucidity

Drowning in the absence of
Conscious inner faith
Submerged in theology
Breathing in the fluid

Black


2. TO DUST

Nothing more for me to see
From the eye that sleeps
Closed within a silent dream
A meal for the worms to eat

No rise into the heavens
No three day resurrection
No pass into purgatory
Nothing to dust

To dust

Complicate the ending with the dreams of ever-after
Consuming every breath you breathe the filth of rapture
Poisoned words condemn the non-believer
Close my eyes and lay to rest and let the worms devour

No rise into the heavens
No three day resurrection
No pass into purgatory
Nothing to dust

To dust

Return to the mother remove the weight forever
Wash away the stigma I don't need it where I'm going
Nail shut the coffin and drop into the nothing
Decompose my flesh within the temple withering
Nothing here and nothing to betray
Close my eyes and lay to rest and let the worms devour


3. HONEST HUMAN EMOTION

Under and in between me
Layers of scars define
Twisted deformed emotion
Colors bleed in black and white

Honest human emotion overwhelms me
From the inside through the light everlasting
But the inside leaves it's shell cracked and fading
Inner dying seed planted under nothing

The scars remain and paint the page along the way
The picture fades here and now the colors grey
Anointed by this loneliness where I can hide
Deep inside the well is cracked and has gone dry

Under and in between me
Layers of scars define
Twisted deformed emotion
Colors bleed in black and white

Honest human emotion overwhelms me
From the inside through the light everlasting
But the inside leaves it's shell cracked and fading
Inner dying seed planted under nothing

The scars remain and paint the page along the way
The picture fades here and now the colors grey
Anointed by this loneliness where I can hide
Deep inside the well is cracked and has gone dry


4. CONCLUSION DISILLUSION

Have you seen Jesus anywhere
No I haven't I thought he was with you

Torn away from everything
Everything that loves me
Solitude's awakening
Remove the black-toothed grin
Savior is calling me
Summoned to the hanging tree
Grind the path before me
And show me this misery

Show me this suffering

Open my mind to believe I see
Nothing to ease this suffering in me

Conclusion disillusion
Tainting the pool I drown in
Sinking to the bottom
Substance the bludgeoning

Looking through my eyes conceive
A flame that burns to save me
To get me through just one more day
And scar one more memory
The chapel doors are open
Consume the flesh forgiven
Forgive the flesh consume
And burn the gates of heaven

And burn the gates of heaven

Open my mind to believe I see
Nothing to ease this suffering in me

Conclusion disillusion
Tainting the pool I drown in
Sinking to the bottom
Substance the bludgeoning

My life's rotting slow

Consume - flesh
Nothing - left

Torn away from everything
Everything that loves me
Solitude's awakening
Remove the black-toothed grin
Savior is calling me
Summoned to the hanging tree
Grind the path before me
And show me this misery

Show me this suffering


5. SOVEREIGNTY

Images of the victims they suffer
Their innocence means nothing to me
Capture the enemy discriminate
Feel my wrath my brother

Remove the face of compassion and raise this heavy hand
Broken bones of opposition taint this holy land
A congregation lied to this parable untold
Sacrifice diplomacy let the war machine unfold

Let the war machine unfold
Let the war machine unfold

The war machine unfold

Return of your lord
Return of your savior
Deliver us from evil
Deliver the enemy

Return of your lord
Return of your savior
Deliver us from evil
Deliver the enemy

Images of the victims they suffer
Their innocence means nothing to me
Capture the enemy discriminate
Feel my wrath my brother


6. SWARM

Swarm

Swarming in From Heaven
Blackening the day
Hand of God is striking down
Written by the insane
Christian Prophecies
Fuel for the hate machine

Suffocate the lungs of everything that breathes
Smothering the lives of all those who believe
Can you see this Swarming

Devouring the flesh
Tear the Temple down
And bring them to their knees
Panic and submission
Spinning the machine
Supress a free society

Suffocate the lungs of everything that breathes
Smothering the lives of all those who believe
Can you see this Swarming

Institute the fear
For the insect to feed
Feed upon the weakening
I can see conspiracy

Swarming in From Heaven
Blackening the day
Hand of God is striking down
Written by the insane
Christian Prophecies
Fuel for the hate machine

Suffocate the lungs of everything that breathes
Smothering the lives of all those who believe
Can you see this Swarming

Swarming - Swarming - Swarm


7. MOMENT OF CLARITY

There is no redemption there is blood on my hands
The euphoria will not pay for my sins
Severed empty feeling and the isolation
Withdraw my salvation my salvation withdrawn

My life dwells behind narcotic eyes weeping on the inside
Voices blend the murmur fills my mind and will never subside
Shattering image instantly age washing years away
Salvation lies behind narcotic eyes bleeding on the inside

There is no redemption just a moment of clarity
When the moment passes right back to the suffering
Drowning out the colors consume the obscure
My life paints addiction paintings only stand still

There is no redemption there is blood on my hands
The euphoria will not pay for my sins
Severed empty feeling and the isolation
Withdraw my salvation my salvation withdrawn

My life dwells behind narcotic eyes weeping on the inside
Voices blend the murmur fills my mind and will never subside
Shattering image instantly age washing years away
Salvation lies behind narcotic eyes bleeding on the inside

There is no redemption just a moment of clarity
When the moment passes right back to the suffering
Drowning out the colors consume the obscure
My life paints addiction paintings only stand still


8. PASSIONLESS

Finally found a faith faith I can believe in
Imageless being and an unforgiving god
Emptiness inside me swells swells beyond belief
Oh my god my god this seems too real to be

Passionless - emptiness
Passionless - holiness

Something inside me died
Under passionless skies
Between euphoria
And the everlasting

Can you see the color is fading
Bleeding from the black inside of me
Bleeding nothing no feeling
Nothing here for me to believe

Can you see the color
Bleeding from inside of me
Passionless I stand
Unforgiven

Finally found a faith faith I can believe in
Imageless being and an unforgiving god
Emptiness inside me swells swells beyond belief
Oh my god my god this seems too real to be

Passionless - emptiness
Passionless - holiness

Something inside me died
Under passionless skies
Between euphoria
And the everlasting


9. EXTREMES (CYNIC COVER)

Society's selfish meaning to confine
Disabled by the need to cure an insecurity
Masses strive to keep themselves in line
While the radical seek attention all the time

Say they're sick just hypochondriacs
Cry some more I know it's all an act

Lies - taken to extremes
Despised - because of what they need

A selfish thought to please themselves
They strive to succeed in what they're looking for
Defying lying rebelling for attention
A disability taken from one extreme to another

Lies - taken to extremes
Despised - because of what they need

Abusing rights defying given laws
Excessive whining they desire sympathy
Rebel they prove their lives are just a flaw
Immoderate acts plagued by the disease

I proved them wrong but they're the ones to blame
Defeated fair and square at their own game


10. IMPRESSIVE TECHNOLOGY

The weight of the world has buried us alive
Blatant disregard of life I'm smothered beneath the time
A swift and horrid change the face of humanity
Is cold and dead

Scars replace a fragile being
This new colorless adopted breed
Features decrease no remains
This lack of faith no true belief

Humanity will fade away and cease to be
Reality remains the same this suffering in me
Crossing breed impurity born to bleed
Infection spreads the entity extinct from disease

Impressive technology
Impressive technology

The path of suffering a shortened breath collapsing
The weak will fall first and lay in dirt beneath the earth
Life is my obscenity the face of humanity
Is cold and dead

Scars replace a fragile being
This new colorless adopted breed
Features decrease no remains
This lack of faith no true belief


11. THE WHISPER

Deafening silence in my ears
Remove the filth from my canals
Filter out the blasphemy
And focus on the whispering

The Whisper

Underneath my suffering
I feel the breath deep inside me
Exhaling the void
Devil on my shoulder
Slithering its fork-tongued words
Drowning in conviction
Focus on the whispering

Pointing at the enemy
Reveals the truth in front of me
Consume within my disdain
No more self-control remains

Master - Anoint me with your misery
Whisper - Filter out the blasphemy

Devil on my shoulder
Slithering its fork-tongued words
Drowning in conviction
Focus on the whispering

The Whisper

Decrepit breath of innocence
It burns the skin of ignorance
It bleeds my conscious inner-ear
And soothes the questionable fear

Underneath my suffering
I feel the breath deep inside me
Exhaling the void
Devil on my shoulder
Slithering its fork-tongued words
Drowning in conviction
Focus on the whispering

Pointing at the enemy
Reveals the truth in front of me
Consume within my disdain
No more self-control remains

The Whisper
The Whisper
