Say goodbye to the time that cannot move on
The pictures that record our lives have fallen to the
ground
Voices of tomorrow kill the face of yesterday
Reaching out to nothing to a hand so far away
You can cover up the lies but you cannot make amends
The towers we have built in time have grown beyond
defense
Moving beyond the original concern
I am years before and life is so obscure
I've fallen down so low
For this I've paid a price so extreme
What's the compensation for the failure of these dreams
You opened up the void and threw it all away
The light is growing dim on a life of dismay
I remember the time I can feel it bleed
I could almost touch the sun but now I'm down on my
knees
In a reckless deed of error the terror will repeat
Past and present fuse together leading to deceit
Say goodbye to the ones you care about the most
The stories we have built in life are never worth their
price
Charters of tomorrow clash with yesterday
Holding out for nothing for warmth so far away
You can burn away the lies and never make amends
The fortress I have built inside has strengthened its
defense
Falling behind the original burn

Just seeing you bothers me
Affecting me down to my breath
I can only keep my patience for so long
How can I look at you, there's nothing left
Again you try to pull me down
Up from your level you reach
You leave nothing and take all like a blood sucking leach
As the walls close in on us
I face you with my fists
You forced me to react
Snap, and here we go
Their true ignorance seeps into your veins
You too have their disease
It has infected your blood killing your own thoughts
Bringing you to your knees
Your spite goes unnoticed it relaxes me to know when you've failed
Our cold staredown engulfed in tension, I snap, pure disaster
I'd bring you to Hell, bring you to Hell if I could
I'd take you to Hell, take you to Hell if I could
I'd bring you to Hell, soak in your blood
Delivering my wrath to you
Inverting your soul
I'd take you to my Hell, devouring your fear
Feeding off my hate for you
All this hate I have for you

You alone are abuse
You alone are pain
Extinction held within your fist
All good things come to those who slaughter
Bursting with laughter your anecdotes agonize
I would shatter that grin
Depression, the rust that binds this soul together
Corrosive entropy
Here you will not find solace beating savage madness
into primative innocents
It is the purity the broken question
It is the morality the promise broken
Serenity sanctified inside your microcosm
You stench of vile irrelevance
Shards of glass bleed bloody knuckles
I would shatter that grin
Well I want nothing more of humanity, I've finally
Become this evil within
Letting lose my inner beast as I grip your neck and twist
Welcome to the opposition bastard
Enjoy the validity of brutality
Bestowed upon us in return
As I grip your neck and twist

I surrender
My fingers reach out trembling
I try so desperately to touch you
As the blood seeps from your eyes
Spilling on to these cold hands
The crimson stains far beyond my human embodiment
Outside unscathed
Inside torn completely
More baggage I must carry the weight
Pummeling
I stab myself with questions over and over
Command me I surrender
I am yours
I no longer sleep
Kept awake for my selfish crimes
Living out this life sentence
Forced to view each and every frame of the picture
Eternally looped
Constantly rewound and played
Eternally looped
Cradled by the guilt
I lay twitching, convulsing
Still she watches enchanted by it
She drools at the pain she inflicts
You fade from my grasp
But I am still drawn forward
The flames flicker
I swallow to keep them down
It singes my tongue and blisters my throat
It tares at me
I give up
I surrender
Let someone else go through this Hell
I quit

I started the dominos tumbling but it's not my fault they said
So the images were pushed down deep
I know I held the gun to their head
Faceless people wander through my dreams
Searching for lives they once knew
Reminding me of how I murdered their souls
How I tore them apart sustantainiously
Why can't I just turn it off?
Tune it out forever
Blind my eyes from all that noise
There is no light, there is no shelter
My dreams are the most uncontrollable substance
They are illusions beckoning behind the steel door
Scratching and gauging at the smooth surface
Cracking loose the hinges and scattering across the floor
How can I refuse such a perfect invitation
Invitation of faceless bliss
Drifting away to unlock those demons inside
Haunting night after night
Digressing my humanity
Chared bits of reality lay in the wasteland of my thoughts
Where the dead arise and the living don't matter
My feeling for life escapes the bounds of reality
All this I have brought upon myself, a reactor

Gag on ash dust
Orange clouds loom in the summer's frozen chill
Winding down, grinding down
As our snowballing karma begins to titan
Apocalypse upon us
Emptiness is our end
Emptiness
Legions of dark divide and surround
Coming from all parts of this forsaken town
And how to you keep from laughing
When you tell me it's alright
And why do you keep from weeping
When you tell me we will see tomorrow
So easily depressed
So deeply obsessed
Worthless we've succumb
Meaningless you've all become
So much freedom in carelessness
Everything is in the palm of our sweaty paws
Rust to dust, fool proof solutions that draw flies
Oh how your legs tire
Muscels seize and bones crumble
But the urge to run carries on
The fire in your eyes rips through the streets
My taste for it has soured
Dead to the world am I
Cause I never had faith in your kind
Will you still hide your face when he is standing at your back door
When he is sulking through your kitchen
Till he is scratching under your bed
Closer than you think
We are all nothing

Can we live through this?
Agents of the devil are you all
Prostituting mundane revolution
March on man/machine
Fear should only be of yourself
Fear should be of yourself
You rape all human pleasure
Harvest economic slavery
Bleeding whores of greed
As our montrosity turns on us
Still I struggle to remain conscious
Because you idea of right
Has always been wrong
Always been wrong
Always been wrong
Always will
Enriched by disease
We fuck this planet dry and my question to you is
Can we live through this?
Mother squelch your children
Far too out of hand are they
Stumbling and stuttering your purpose
On this day of reckoning
You will be the death of you all

[Instrumental]

Scrambling to regain the shards of ideals shattered before me
Terror to release all that binds me to this pitted Earth
This day remains charred
Immersed in the pools of reason
Deny the weight of gravity
Spiralling in rhythm of heartbeats
Embracing this virgin reality
Chemical agent transforms me
Angel wings rise, unbound from flesh
Sight open to all dimensions
Revel in the power on this day of rebirth
Like the moments of death...
My life streams by in flashes
Interwound...
With the dream of the ancient
Annotated with knowledge from journeys of past
Bleeding slowly into the streams of the everlasting
Not losing myself but growing into everything
Spiraling, pondering, unwinding, never ending.

In the shadow abyss
Of the wilderness
The call of a dear brother is but the sound
Of a stranger
Ancient fires will arise
Power of the lifeless to stand once more
Punishment for our sins
Payment is due

The gates open I drown
The magnet, the withdrawal
Offering these to you
Shamelessly ripping my guts out
How could I expect you to change your face?
A time lived by seconds
I unfold at your beckon
I will be passed by I am the minimal
The useless being
How could I expect you to change your face?
My memories out dated and weak
How could I expect it to? Well I do
How could I want it to?
I despise your charming attributes
Conjure up the summoned
Then left to contend with them
Stirring the killer, inviting this old ghost
After all, it's me that is drowning
My dream is the warped
They pick me clean
These vultures
I know now the door is open
I know now I must be dead

Kill the light
Here is the only pace I can look you in the eye
Forged in darkness
I grow cold with you
Give in to the peace
Give in to the narcoleptic urge
Abandon all bonds with the flesh
And just grow cold
And just grow cold
And just grow cold
Let me stay til I turn to dust
Lay back as the warmth sinks
Deconstruct all imagination
Absorbed by the cold as the blood settles
Hatred is my heroin
You should have guessed by now
Piercing my skin
All too many times
Kill these memories of me inside of you
We have lost to the lust and greed
We are but one, the rotten shell of humanity
Kill it

I choke on my bitterness
Because some things are better left unsaid
Hesitant is my instinctive venom
Since I've stepped out of this light
I said I'm sorry
The truth is I never was
Begging to be indifferent
I'll take you down with me
You're going down
I'll take you down
Falling
Scratching, tearing
Ripping, falling, melting
Scratching, tearing, bleeding, feeding
I said I'm sorry
The truth is I never am
Begging for indifference
I'll drag you down with me
You're going down
I'll drag you down
A toxified embrace holds me up
As my suicide increases
And my life skids out of control
Shouting back in my face
As I lose control of my hands and mind
As I reach for my peace
I claw at my eyes
Insensitivity looking away
Just like a raped mother to her child
I hate you just the same
I hate you
And when patience wears thin
Intentions watch hungrily transparent
Anxious to feast on your devotion
Anticipating that quenchless thirst

Wading in the midst of this singularity
Universe condensed to the size of a wave
Alien thoughts invade my mind, focus attention then denied
Opiate dream soon realized and I am left half stranded
Wading in the midst of this singularity
Inspiration and expression in union as one
Children rally round Jah's fire, destroy Babylon desire
Scrape away the city lies, nature only masks the divine
Purging dispair through a filter of syntax
Bridge to Zion built with the words of the righteous
But I will transcend
I will exceed
I will transcend
I will suceed
I will transcend
I will exceed
You will not deny me

Torn from slumber
Haze of sleep melts away
Inner peace splintered
Security decays
Praying for forgetful snows of winter to cover me
Tomb of ice surrounding, sheltering my blazing heart
Beating down the blooms of spring, deny awakening
Realize too late
You were not what I needed you to be
With blinders I race into the storm
Only to be struck down
Smashed on the rocks below
Conflicts of my heart and mind
Unknowing victim of fate's design
On broken knees, hands thrust towards the sky
Descend the cliffs praying to fly
Turn my back to the warning
With blinders I race into the storm
Only to be struck down
Smashed on the jagged rocks below
I reject your ideal
Deny my blood's one desire
Free fall through space
As I fall I burst into fire

Handing the invitation over
To the dark figure in the corner
I stare at the glaze that forms over your eyes
As the pain leaps from these lips
It's all coming back to me now
With everything I've become it's a wonder I'm still me
My breath refuses to be caught
Although I've tried to force this back
I let the numbness win
I return with a sieging vengeance
Back in pour my starving habits
Dousing this flame with anger as my eyse dig deep into your face
Forget this time like your smile
Lays broken at my feet
Can't you see you never had a chance
You never had a chance
I don't stop
I don't stop, I won't stop
Hold still while all this passes
I won't stop, I don't stop
Be still my will is not my own
Why can't I out run what I've been known to lose?
Sticky sweet with sarcasm
My mouth is sealed shut
Yeah, don't you wish you could forget me now?
You will never forget me now

"Some historians and anthropologists think people
who claimed to be possesed may have been drugged
However, the drugging was accidental
The theory suggests they may have eaten
moldy rye grain wich contained an ergot
This poisonous substance can cause hallucinations
similar to those brought on by LSD
During the middle ages a similar witch hunt broke out in Europe
It is thought that ergot poison was to blame then, too
Whatever the cause, whether it was an adolescent craving for attention
Or the accidental ingestion of a psychadelic substance,
the results were terrifying"

Release with me all that is kept locked inside as we become one
Lose all sight of this appathetic world
Brake the bindings that hold you down
Swallow the taste of resurrection
Bathe in it, true ecstasy
Let it all escape through every pore
Take the final step towards immortality
Descend with me
Set your soul aflame
Let go as we become one
Feel it brake your skin
Follow
Bleed into one
I've waited so long for this comfort
You will never leave, this I swear
Nothing will come between us ever
Journey deep into my darkest stare
Let the cold metal explore your flesh once again
Slicing through layer upon layer of tissue
Peel back the skin that embodies us all
Pain is only of the mind

Heaven sent
Hell-bent
To destroy anything and everyone that stands against my destiny
Save yourself
Turn away before the massacre
Keep your distance
Pretend we never met
I'm darker than the rest
The unholy, the sinner
Worthless to humanity
Compounding damnation upon damnation
I want it all
I'll take it all
I'll have it all
I'll take it all
I am life and death as a whole
I lurk among all of evil's shadows
I could give you new dimension
I could show you new direction
I could be your one dark obsession
Give you all the pain you ever dreamed of
Blasphemizing all I touch
Dredge of sight and sound
Searching out by all
Then scorned and prosecuted once found
I'll show you death
I'll give you new life
I'll drag you kicking and screaming
And screaming

Smiling parade of fallacies
Surrounded by empty stares
Deadened by the glare
Of your blank, lost expression
Crawl
Crawl to life
You are kissing the hand that crushes you
Kneeling to arrogance
Pledging allegiance to the flesh
Crawl
Crawl to life
Crawl to your life
Paint yourself a lie
Adore, I obsess
Cover up yesterday
I relinquish the thought of you
Wave your problems away
Everyone loves you
Betrayed by the heartless
Victim of your melting words
Jagged in my mind
Screaming bloody silence

It burns my consciousness and I
This consumption
My thoughts scrambled into flashes
Those images of power
Of life, of death
Overloaded, shutdown
The absolute never
The absolute never
Security is opaque
I'll never grasp safety
Deviation
When will I finally learn?
Exposed I am weak, I am vulnerable
I crave this addiction
I crave the taste
I crave the taste
You were everything to me
But still, I question your existence in my life
Nothing holds true to me
Nothing is my world
I've cried, I've screamed as you killed me
I am the undead, the meaningless
Forced to compromise all of my values
A mannequin plastic and lifeless
Illusions cast into my pitted world
Was my life ever really mine to decide?
Or must I crawl in this searing heat
in this asylum you've always relied on?
I devour souls
Stay divine forget me existence
As for me I remain in solitude til judgement day
Fear me forever
Love is a tool to excavate the innocent
Leave and never look back
I'll be waiting foot steps away

I view deep in this reflection
It's just the outside world looking in
Even if I could escape is
Is suffocation
Cascading bursts of light
Illuminating from the silence
But I still wonder if pulling free is
Is necessary
What else could I do?
I feed off of your cruelty
Once again I torch this day
It probably never existed
I used to think I had a grasp
That door closed years ago
I predicted the armageddon
I predicted the absolute
My lack of insanity held me back
I could have saved you all
But why?
The sheep retain their wish
Swallowed
Swallowed in Hell-fire
Why?
The sheep retain their wish
Swallowed
I don't listen to tomorrow
I don't look beyond the overcast
I won't see the forecast anymore
I won't look beyond the overcast
