Hook: Guru
Scandalous, money greed and lust
In this trife life, there ain't nobody you can trust
Plus there's no justice, it's just us
In fact, watchin' yo back it be must
And each and everyday around the way gats bust
And jealous so-called friends'll try to set you up
It's called betrayal
Verse 1: Guru
Check the horror scene
The kid was like twelve or thirteen
Never had the chance like other kids to follow dreams
Watched his father catch two in the dome and to the spleen
Nothin quot; but blood everywhere, these streets are mean
They spared his life, but killed his moms and his sister Jean
Of course over some drug shit
Hi spops was on some ill-out, spill your guts, on some thug shit
Didn't know his boys was on some shady ass no love shit
His pops got played out though, with silencers they laid him out yo
Took his stash and all the cash and left 'em, tied up on the couch yo
With tape over his mouth, so he couldn't cry out
cause his dad was the nigga with clout
Survival of the fittest so they split his wig no doubt
Despite the stocking caps he noticed the same cat, who used to give him doe
and taught him, to use the same gat
Supposed to be an Uncle,fam and all that
He could tell it was him 'cause he wore the same slacks, he wore when
he took him to Meadowlands racetrack
Why did he flip and go out like that
It's called betrayal
Hook
Verse 2: Scarface
A Betrayal
Punk ass niggas
It's called betrayal
He on a mission to become a ball player
Flip big Benz's, flossin all gators
Had it all mapped out,6-8,12th grader
Fresh outta school, he fin' to go lay paper
He had abrother who was hustlin collectin his change
Never let his baby brother stick his neck in the game
Told him all he had to do is just enjoy the ride
And he ain't have to worry about money cause that's in time
So now he's pacin as the time moves slowly
Can't wait to face Shaquille in the paint and school Kobe
Kept his grades and stayed up under naighborhood functions
And then a group of knuckleheads came through dumpin
So now he's sittin on the sidewalk bleedin
Fell into a puddle of his own blood and stopped breathin
And everybody in the neighborhood still grievin
But destiny caught up with his ass and he got even
And all the cryin in the world ain't goin to bring him back
his brother, sittin at the wake wipin tears from his mother's eyes
Why'd the game have to go and take the young boys life
Only the wicked live shife, payin the price
while he's starin at the shell
his brothers soul wants hell the trigger man made bail
and you, wouldn't pay the boys mail, and sacrificed the fuckin family
That's betrayal
Betrayal(echoes)

Betrayal(echoes)
I always thought you were my friend
But it seems that in the end
You're a backstabbing fool
I always trust you with me
You're the mistress of deceit
You're a backstabbing fool
I've been caught
They're on to me
Metal hound on the loose
I just can't last
Turned in by my wife
Her fear to great
What love for me
Betrayed!
The government
Will make a sport of me
Hunted like an animal
Betrayed!
Escape my only thought
Will the underground help a fireman
Betrayed!
[Chorus]
Never trust anyone
They'll always get you
You'll lose
They're out to get you
Jealousy
And spies
They want my job
What's told aren't lies!
I left a trail
The hound attacks
Head pounding
Betrayed!
[Chorus]
Doomed
No escape
One last pain
Down to the zone
Forbidden place
No one can find me
They need a sacrifice
Innocent blood will do
On TV I see
Who's supposed to be me
Cut down mercilessly
Ripped to shreds
They've done the deed
Betrayed!
Crawling by the sea of black tears
give your soul to me
My Man is gone betrayed
I don't want your sympathy,
She is the ruler of this world your know.
You're so predictable now give her your soul
1,2,3,4
Betrayal running through my veins.
Hey, Hey, Hey.
I am in the underworld, underworld, underworld.
Hey, Hey, Hey.
The fear in your eye
I'm the lump in your throat.
The shiver down your spine
you're so devoted.
Come join the army of undead and obscene.
She'll give you nothing because that's all you need.
Betrayal running through my veins.
Hey, Hey, Hey.
I am in the underworld, underworld, underworld.
The BRUTAL LEGEND brutal.
Hey, Hey, Hey.
Betrayal running through my veins.
Hey, Hey, Hey.
I am in the underworld, underworld, underworld.
The BRUTAL LEGEND brutal.
Hey, Hey, Hey.
Hey, Hey, Hey.
How can you stand in those shoes
You say you're led astray
Fall on your knees and pray
Knife in the boot
You offer no good reason
Gun in the hand
For you there is no pardon
All the years and the tears
I have shared with you my friend
You broke the pact that you had signed
You're discovered you're uncoverd
Don't turn around cos the reason's treason
You hear the nonsence reason
Your temple's a prison
Those troubles consume you
I will see you tomorrow
Build up your best defense
I'll meet you frozen mind
Kinfe in the boot
You offer no good reason
Gun in the hand
For you there is no pardon
All the years and the tears
I have shared with you my friend
You broke the pact that you had signed
You're discvered you're uncovered
Don't turn around cos the reason's treason
It's time to play
We were blood brothers
It seems you've faked
No pity for ya
Look within yourself
Force-feeding lies
You feel sick inside
Blood will flow for sure
Now your face is known
I trusted you and felt apart
[Instrumental]
Will you go to heaven
Will you land in hell
Are the things you're praying for
The things that serve you well?
Did you get satisfaction
Have you paid the price
Can you look me in the eye
Say you found paradise?
Betrayal, you are what you choose
Betrayal, got everything to loose
Betrayal, one day you'll know
Betrayal, you reap what you sow
Sell your soul for mercy
Heed the reapers call
Waiting for that heart attack
Your back's against the wall
Stealing from tomorrow
Is no way to live
But when you've got no future
Then there's nothing left to give
Betrayal, you are what you choose
Betrayal, got everything to loose
Betrayal, one day you'll know
Betrayal, you reap what you sow
So when you get to heaven
When you land in hell
Are the things you're praying for
The things that serve you well?
Betrayal, you are what you choose
Betrayal, got everything to loose
Betrayal, one day you'll know
Betrayal, you reap what you sow
[Deeko:]
I never would have thought it
Somebody must have been informing
Now tell me how the fuck they get a warrant
How they come to my house in the morning
Have a twelve gauge pointed at my month when I was yawning
A know it was a setup how the fuck did it happen
Check the phone lines internet cause somebody's tapped in
I'm going out my mind trying to think who it was
Another drug lord or maybe one of my squad
But no it could'ntbe wouldn't do that to me
These are my friends wouldn't mess around with loyalty
The only thing we ever shared was trust
An eye for an eye
Blood in blood out it's all love
So if it's not one of my boys it's got to be someone
A'l have to find out my cell like the place that I'm stuck in
This is not what I need right now
Av got a baby coming
And I really want to see that child
Got to get out
Thinking I should give them a plea
But what the fuck have I to gain if I tell him it wasn't me
Tell him it wasn't he I was somewhere else
And I Don't think they over look the fucking knife on my shelf
Had it right in my belt
Should have left it that night in the cell
That's where I have to pay the cost of that price
Oh well
Your looking at me like it's just my dumb luck
But I'm not a dumb fuck I just lost it that night
But it's not all bad shit you wouldn't believe
Al be out real soon see they work for me
Making deals do they dirt with me
Not for free you see
I got a brother and he is Police
And when I'm out
You know I'm going to find that prick that snitched
Grassed me up I will cut this dick
Seems you can't trust no one when you live like this
Put the flames to his head he has brunt this bridge
You known it's not like me to slip up and get caught
That's why a kind of think it's an inside job
So now I'm trying to think what this prick might want
He is living reckless
But not for long...
So much on my mind now Iv got to get out here
There's rules to the game and I'm going to call foul here
Al find who it was and whoever that did it
Is going to wish they where dead
Al make him live to regret it [x2]
[Werd:]
I'm not living happily
Work all week for that salary
Every days a tragedy
Another rape murder assault and fucking battery
But a look at my brother like he's a technicality
I let him off with no charge
For a small charge
Ten years in the force ain't made serge
My brother sells bars and I keep him out of bars
He might be a dealer but I hold the cards
And he does dirt cleans up and gets paid
Makes more a day than my weekly wage
He would be happy with the cage if he made front page
I'm not happy as I said I got stress in my way
The only thing I got good is my woman
And I love her as much as I should'nt
Helping out my brothers really getting on my nerves
I only want her
To protect and serve
And we could run away but she won't leave
And when I'm not with her makes my heart bleed
But somethings going to happen that will change her mind
Somethings going to happen that will make her mine
Now my bother he done done it again
Got himself locked up got himself to blame
This time someone snitched someone grassed his name
They say they got a warrant and they came in his home
So again he wants me to help him slip away
Can't get locked up there's a baby on the way
His wifes got a bump
Due in a few months
Can he raise a kid are you taking the
But you want to know a secret don't tell
I got a little problem with my girl as well
See love hurts
The girl I'm with it's his
It gets worse (what)
It's my kid
That why when he got caught I didn't help
In fact I even wrote the warrant myself
I knew he had the knife
I knew theyd give him life
I knew with him gone I could be with his wife
So I tell him this time that he must do time
Don't worry about your family
They'll be fine
Now he locked up with nowhere to go
No one survives
Against hateful minds
I can feel the pressure growing
Last time you walked away
This time there will be no one there waiting to take your place
Think not that the world now ones you
Think not of your despair
Rise up and take their power do not hesitate or fear
For them a distant memory
Waiting with baited breath
I see through parts of your life
Why do you lie to me?
One of the reasons why, the movement,
began to move executions behind prison's,
is the effect that it would have on young people,
their parents would take them to witness an execution,
thinking that perhaps it would have some salutary effect,
they would hold em up so that they could get a good glimpse and all of that,
but I found I guess 30 or 40 cases, where after witnessing an execution
a child of tender years, would hang a playmate or hang themselves.
We must distrust each, other it is our best defense
From those who seek to specialize in betrayal
There's no comfort in freedom
For what we seek is pain
You're life has now come undone
Step up, from the ground up
You said you'd help
Your ideals revealed
Faith in yourself
Finding, redefining what we need
Told us you would show us
How to succeed
And we believed
We believed in you
We believed in all your lies
And your ties and your promises
We try to comply duty bound
Degredation, communication
Breaking down
Conflict and no respect
We don't need this
Backbiting, infighting, is this your best?
And we believed
We believed in you
We believed in all your lies
And your ties and your promises
And we believed
We believed in you
We believed in all your lies
[Instrumental]
Will you go to Heaven?
Will you land in Hell?
Are the things you're praying for
The things that serve you well?
Did you get satisfaction
Have you paid the price
Can you look me in the eye
Say you found paradise?
Betrayal, you are what you choose
Betrayal, got everything to loose
Betrayal, one day you'll know
Betrayal, you reap what you sow
Sell your soul for mercy, heed the reapers call
Waiting for that heart attack, your back's against the wall
Stealing from tomorrow, is no way to live
But when you've got no future, then there's nothing left to give
Betrayal, you are what you choose
Betrayal, got everything to loose
Betrayal, one day you'll know
Betrayal, you reap what you sow
So when you get to Heaven
When you land in Hell
Are the things you're praying for
The things that serve you well?
Betrayal, you are what you choose
Betrayal, got everything to loose
Betrayal, one day you'll know
Betrayal, you reap what you sow
The cities still burn Man will not return I have no one to turn to There is no kingdom for me This is not how I was told it would be I have but one choice left One way to go One last chance to save my soul Vanquished when the angels fall The dark will be once and for all
[Intro: Prodigal Sunn]
Yeah, traitors, man
Yo, this goes out to everybody, man
Everybody that's been betrayed, youknowimean
Maybe once in or twice in your life
Snakes in the garden, feel me, yo
[Chorus x2: Prodigal Sunn]
They say the, strong shall remain, over the wicked and vain
Keep your eyes on your back, and your face on your stacks
Some living for the lie, while others die for the game
You catch these slugs, engraved with your name
[Prodigal Sunn]
It was the night for December
Remember leaking from my hand to my wrist
Choochoo slug hit, split through the flesh in my fist
Breathing heavy, unnecessary, mandatory, I tell y'all the story
These cats, I loved it, tried to take my glory
Episode one; gun in my face, filled with disgrace
Half a million in the metal face with quarters and apes
Internal bleeding was the reason for treason
It was chasing, left my heart aching
Damn, it was my man Nason and Nathan
Forsaken, wrote the code for realization
For fascination, and fabrication, the work of Satan
Blatant, contempt of mind, I was always knew
The revelation of a Judas in every crew
I called a flash in the back of my head
When my ace note said; "Sunzini, some of these kids is feds"
Jealous for the love of hate, snakes snitching for dollars
Sniffin' white collar, made a brother wanna holla
Betrayed by the ones I loved the most, hard to believe
Deceived by the thieves that breed, dwell amongst the mental
Stealing out my temple, I'mma leave these traitors crippled
Leave these traitors crippled, crippled
[Chorus x2]
[Prodigal Sunn]
Now as the saga continues
I move in freely in the trunk of the rental
Music blasting through the street, cause it's all so simple
Nickel plated in the crotch of my jeans, it's safety routine
Stay prepared, for the secret's ravenes, know what I mean?
I treasure my life, measured through the pain and the strife
Hard to except bluff from the grain, jerk after we trife
Revengence is mine, I'mma make these cats remember the times
When we was, kids in the hood and we did it for crime
I got my hand free on the baby nine, blunt on a handle
Waiting on the trunk to pop, to blow out some candles
I struggle for the cell in my sock, designed for moments like these
Hit the God; 60 Sec., and let him know the steez
[Interlude: 60 Second Assassin (Prodigal Sunn)]
Peace (yo, peace, what up, Six-O, yo, I'm hot son
These niggaz got me, man) Who? Who? (Nason and Nathan, man, yo)
Where you at? Where you at, son?
(Shit I'm in the trunk, up in somebody's car, man
I don't know where I'm at man, but I'm hit in the hand
I'm leaking man, yo, get they family members a shot
And let them know it's not a game) Word to mother, we on the way
Hold on, son, hold on, we coming, hold on (get me out of here)
[Prodigal Sunn]
The moral of the story, leave with these jewels to swallow
Blessings I earn, lessons we learn, the tables got turned
A miracle I made it, by the grace of King David
As it was written, one was shot, the other was smitten
Thanks to the coalition, I'm alive, well and kicking
They tried to do me in, like the Indians on Thanksgiving
Stop me not, my purpose is to stay on top
I'm pledge allegience to the Sun, the committee that rocks
Never catch me slipping again, I move with the sight of ten
Me and them mighty men, stronger than gin, gin.
Yo, it's real out here in the field, son
You gotta survive, eat to live
[Chorus x2]
[Outro: Prodigal Sunn]
Hahaha... it's all about eating, it's all about living
It's all about surviving, kid, it's real in the field
Keep ya head up, keep ya gun up, it's real
I love how they used to say,
It's all in your head.
You're a paranoid picture,
You're a photograph...
Exposed by the light,
When you step outside,
Burnt by the sun,
That's in your eyes...
But when I saw it in my face,
In this mirror that needs to break,
Something bothered me and left me to feel...
Betrayal, Betrayal,
It rips right through me,
How you lie right to me,
Betrayal, Betrayal,
Will this world make better sense?
Once you mean nothing to me...
It's on the cutting room floor,
Footage of this mess,
Filmed then packaged and ready to sell...
Betrayal, Betrayal,
It rips right through me,
How you lie right to me,
Betrayal, Betrayal,
Will this world make better sense?
Once you mean nothing to me...
You used to live in a memory,
Now those pictures are burning...now
You're a memory,
A fingerprint on the film,
You're a shadow in the sun,
Now it's your time to burn...
Betrayal, Betrayal,
It rips right through me,
How you lie right to me,
Betrayal, Betrayal,
Will this world make better sense?
Once you mean nothing to me...
One day, you will come crawling back,
I love how they used to say,
It's all in your head.
You're a paranoid picture,
You're a photograph...
Exposed by the light,
When you step outside,
Burnt by the sun,
That's in your eyes...

To the same place that I've been...
[Judas:]
Peace be with you, Teacher
This is something I must do
There's a crowd of people waiting
And they're waiting here for you.
[Jesus:]
Do it quickly, brother Judas
For I know my time has come
But your weapons won't be needed
You can see my friends have gone.
[High Priest's Servant Girl:]
Surely you were with this Jesus
When the business first began?
[Peter:]
I don't understand you question
And I never knew the man.
[Servant Girl:]
I could swear I saw you with him
[Peter:]
Well that's something I deny
[Servant Girl:]
But you're clearly Galilean
[Peter:]
You're mistaken, that's a lie!
Listen to me
God knows I have never seen this man before today
How can I convince you there's no truth in what you say?
God knows I deny the accusations you have made
How can I convince you I've no knowledge of his way?
How can I convince you I've no knowledge of his way?
Did I hear a cock crow - leave me now - what was it Jesus said?
Did I hear a cock crow once again - what was it Jesus said?
Torture- of my crippled soul
is the result
of your spiteful words
re-open, festering wounds
Betrayal (2x)
I cannot believe,
the lengths to which you go to deceive
Carrying the marks,
of those you have scarred
Treachery is your game
you think you have something to gain
you cannot allow,
those who get close to hurt you somehow
You are alone
All alone
Betrayal (2x)
You will pay
for your sins,
I will live,
to see you suffer
That which is lost,
sought to be regained,
all those who got near,
viciously betrayed
Now- you- are- all alone,
[Jeff Lain]
Suicide is ripping through my brain, chaos and destruction are haunting me again, a sharpened dagger is clenched within my fist, its razor edge is longing for my wrist, a voice inside, chanting lawlessness to me, seducing promises of true iniquity, a ghastly grin, beginning to emerge, as thoughts of sin and wickedness begin to converge.
The Necronomicon underneath my bed, seeking something for my psycho-sickened head, calling out in the darkness of the hour, evil spirits show me harrowing power, degenerate beings tell me never, never fear, the candle flickers as my end is drawing near, I spit in the face of God who wants to save, as my soul begins to weaken to the whispers form the grave.
Whispers... of chaos!
Whispers... of chaos!
Whispers... of chaos! screams... of doom!
[1st Solo Marcus, 2nd Solo Bob]
A dripping dagger, blood all over the floor, the demons laughing as I gaze down in horror, what have I done?
[Marcus N. Colon]
O little ones of old, the story shall be told, of mothers wailing cries, when your lives they stole, infants to death, in slaughtering sprees, fearful ancient rulers, of false idolatry, what harm what threat, to stalk a helpless prey, child to cease their rule, could rise up one day.
Survival, crucial, tomorrow is born today, strength of the innocent, they'll play while knowing pain.
Centuries change, the story remains the same, warped parents care, dysfunctionalism reigns, child in the home, with a sadistic sense of love, sexual, physical, and mental abuse, from their own flesh, and blood, years of this routine, now a parent himself, the pain of old is rage today, his kids inherit his wealth?
(Solo Bob)
[Marcus N. Colon]
Raised to know God's word to trust and obey, never thought I'd come to this point of losing my way, but I need a change since life is treating me poor, can't say that I desire to call Jesus my Lord.
An inviting friend smiles with evil in his eyes, he asks,
"do you know the path for the chosen and the wise?" he says,
"all who oppose us deserve to die!" then I turn away with a dare in my eye.
I'll give myself a new lord, satanic doors opened to walk through, no turning back as I deny salvation, as my Bible burned I pledged faithfulness to Satan.
[1st Solo Marcus, 2nd Solo Bob]
Descending in my wicked world, death is swallowing me alive.
I share the madness of the Arab's words, the Bible of Lavey brings depression to my day.
Plagued with fear demons call to me, the way to show commitment is suicide you see, visitations haunt me night after night, you can't get out, there's no hope in sight.
But a voice still whispers.
[Marcus N. Colon]
In God, we trust, do we really mean that?
God, bless America, I think he already has!
This that, this that, I think you need a new excuse, out with the morals, in with a budget plan, I don't think that it's any use.
Great is this country's foundation, but there is an absence of responsibility, respond to conviction, you Godless pagan fools, repentance is the answer, in this nation's darkening hour.
Rights to dogs, rights to gays, rights to a murderer, and their detestable ways, powerful are sacred cows, of church and state, but what of Jesus Lordship and His place.
A.c.l.u. ha!
You're so sick and lost, lobbyist buying, on the hill, bribes for votes is the cost.
[Solo Bob]
This that, this that, I think you new a new excuse, out with the morals, in with liberal man, I don't think it's any use.
God, help us, that's what we should say, could someone send us, some missionaries, before this country stands at judgment day.
Hey Madalyn
Why are you shooting rubber bands
To scare away the lions
Tell it to Ann Rand
Hey Nietzsche boy
What got in your head
Turns out you were wrong
And only Freddie's dead
You have more faith than me
You have more faith than me
Hey David Hume
Your statements make me pause
You don't believe in miracles
You just believe in first cause
Hey Jean Paul
Write another play
The truth exists and so do you
And you can't make that go away
We did not follow myths
We did not follow lies
Proof of the resurrection
Stands before your eyes
Professing to be wise
They have become fools
External power has been seen
You are without excuse
Hey Charles Darwin
It's a natural selection
If it's there and no one can see it
It escapes detection
Hey Mr. Skinner
I hear you today
It doesn't matter if it's true
No tall tales time to understand
A sinister clan has a master plan
They're dedicated to evil intent
Into vulnerable lives is where they're sent
Their cause
Is hate
They'll prey
On the weak
Perverting values and God they abort
Morals and order their goal to distort
They pray and fast in diligent attack
For the pleasure to see a righteous man turn back
God's power
They shun
Separations
Begun
Sent to the chapel on an early Sunday morn
Just to show the arrogance and scorn
Demonstrating defiance determined to mock and resist
The satanic visitation is easy to be missed
To see
The church
Deceived
To fall
Families in disarray
Senses attack
Of indescribable strength
Who will fight
Your mind's
Off guard
Off God
They'll kill
The marriages seemed to have a chance until one arrived
To offer immorality and infidelity disguised
Molesters and abusers watching over our little ones
But all accounts invalid because they're the young?
They know
The game
To discredit
To shame
Danger lies in waiting for destruction stay
Disbelief their victory as ignorance doesn't pay
No fabricated story or paranoia fear
Just the assassin in the midst knowing they're near
Don't discount the satanic alliance sent to deceive
Darkened disciples are plotting domination to achieve
Wisdom and discernment is where the battle's won
Blood shed, down Calvary's cross
Is the place the story starts
It continues when you know Who it was
Who shed His blood for you and me
God's only Son gave His life
So you and I can live and reign
Death and hell's flames have no hold on us
So claim Christ's name!
In the midst of hell's attack
With backs against the wall
Think upon a Saviour's blood
The cross and the shedding of His blood
There's a power in the blood of Jesus
It breaks the chains that bind
Stand your ground let grace abound
For victory you will find!
So you say you don't need Jesus today
But who will you call on when your soul is burning away?
Will you plead for His blood when you realize it's too late?
Receive Christ's forgiveness today by the price that He paid
The final scene the Judgement Throne
A cross and a sinner
Prosecuting, the accuser from the flames
Speaks lies, "he's mine"
You're kneeling face to the ground
Awaiting the final verdict, "no guilty!"
"I know him because
He's washed in My blood", says the Son of God!
"Enter to thy kingdom"
The Almighty God will say
Or, "depart from me you evil doer
For I do not know you this day"
For those who accept Jesus
Will live eternally
The Prince of Peace has shed His blood
(Marcus N. Colon)
the remnant few who follow, Jesus our King, no sound of retreat, time to rise and besiege.
retaliatory strike! an assault with authority determined by the, work done on the Cross, we invade on warring knees, in Christ's name on high, we follow the cries of victory, of the saints that have gone before, will we falter at defeat? no! we may lose a battle but we're sure to win the war.
retaliatory strike! onwards, onwards, a blood stained cross on our battle flag, forward, soldiers, the sword will pierce the enemy.
(Solo Bob)
[Marcus N. Colon]
Society, wages war, on itself, with racial bigotry, who?
Subduing who?
Whites or blacks, discrimination of the skin, not evaluating ones own acts.
Kill floor, the local streets, murdering peace, hatred of another's creed, excuses of ones own rage, force feeding racism, attempting to convince, by accusations toward, those they won't live with.
Inner city madness, deadly southern states, everyone closing their borders, to preserve their hypocrite ways.
Cross burning ghostly fools, you've grown this seed of hate, spineless tactics to bring to harm, you'll reap equivalent fate, victims of slavery past, assaulting with their blame, for abuse many received, today we're required to pay.
[Jazz Solo Marcus, 2nd Solo Bob]
[Chris Ackerman, Marcus N. Colon]
Into drugs, at eleven years of age. town of northport, Ricky's head all in a rage,
Deny authority, drugs worsen everyday, using pot to selling meth, stepped where demons play.
Once in a bookshop, wired on "L", one book seemed alive, reaching on the shelf, saw his future,
Relaxing in his hands, Ricky's eyes widened, as he saw the title, satanic spells, book of the dead.
Now was time, for first incantation, pentagram, cats skull, satanic reputation,
Hanging out at midway, possessed and full of hate, offered Christ, spit in His face,
Ricky sealed his fate. out on the streets, and out on his town, here sits the acid king, upon his
Paper throne, a line was crossed, Gary stole some meth, "no one steals from the acid king!",
He muttered under his breath.
[1st solo Bob, 2nd solo Marcus]
Aztakea woods, the acid kings holds court, he screamed blasphemies, as the knife met Gary's throat,
"Say you love Satan!", Ricky uttered for reply, "no, I love my mother!", Gary cried as he died.
Bragging to his friends, on what he'd done, evil shows true colors, busted murder one.
[Marcus N. Colon, Jeff Lain]
Then they came, a mystery in the night, drawing aching souls near, malevolence... enticing sight!
Here they offer, fun and fantasy, fulfilling desires, meeting deepest needs, came to heal the sadness,
It's the carnival of madness.
Thunderheads approaching, shrouded shimmering autumn light, as many as received their lies, delusion shaded their sight.
They offered unto us, buried dreams, new life, captivity and madness, was their final price.
[Solo Marcus]
This carnival you see is no mystery, rides of sin will pull you in, this circus of seduction will surely visit you,
With promises of sweet pandemonium, don't look to see with curiosity, when they call to you resist and flee,
Unleash
The persecution
Rise from
My slaughtered soul
Unknown master
Enslaves you
Night rage
Entombs you
[Chorus:]
Betrayal [x4]
Cauldron
Of immortals
Red death
For those in sorrow
Cryptic signs of torture
Sinners face damnation
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Your will is my strength
Walk through fire to be one of them
The steel vault where the weak shall
Fall locked into chambers of
Betrayal [x2]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Your will is my strength
Walk through fire to be one of them
The steel vault where the weak shall
[bonus track]
Betrayal, you betrayed me
You betrayed me with a kiss
I thought you were my friend
Now I hate you
So much
You betrayed me with a kiss
You never really cared
It turned out to be wrong
So wrong
Can you trust in your friend's words
Can he look into your eyes
Betrayal, you betrayed me
Discussing all the things with you
I told you all my secrets
You told it to the world
And laughed about it
I would have given anything
If you just asked me for
I was too good for you
Too good for you
Now I ask you
Why did it have to be like this
'Cause I miss you
Sometimes
Can you trust in your friend's words
Can he look into your eyes
Betrayal, you betrayed me
You betrayed me with a kiss
I thought you were my friend
Now I hate you
So much
Can you trust in your friend's words
I dreamt I loved you
Woke up knowing I do
Sunken in dreams of delight
Your tender touch told me you cared
For I am a fool romantic
For I am a fool romantic
Betrayal...
The words we shared do they mean nothing?
I tear my soul to ease this pain
My friends say you're doing well
My friends say you're so different
When we laughed we laughed together
Now I cry
I cry for you
For I am a fool romantic
For I am a fool romantic.
Betrayal...
My whole world is on fire
My whole world is on fire
Betrayal...
The day we met we'd best forget
It was a dream, it was a dream...
The sky turns black, black like smoke
You put your tongue inside my mouth
Only liars choke, only liars choke
My whole world is on fire
My whole world is on fire
Your cowardly kiss is what I need
I run in no direction
stones and mud in this forest
dead leaves on my way
forbidden confessions in the willow shade
Mind's a deserted path
snakes in hands and a stolen love
poison in my heart
breathing dust from the pages of time
Slave of sin... drunk on vice
Slave of sin, drunk on vice
a diamond knife and a fraternal friend
a new dawn will erase every step
the dream is devoured by the light in her eyes
Betrayal holds me tight
in this valley where I feel a stranger
my past is now my present
let me in, I won't fall again
Betrayal holds me tight
in this valley where I feel a stranger
my past is now my present
will your sun light up my day?
I run in no direction
stones and mud in this forest
dead leaves on my way
forbidden confessions in the willow shade
Mind's a deserted path
snakes in hands and a stolen love
poison in my heart
breathing dust from the pages of time
Mind's a deserted path
spiders in my veins, I am a urban ghost
poison in my heart
Let down
Manipulated
Lied to
Sold out
For his political future he allowed it to be
Stolen
The secrets lost in a moment
Frozen
The opportuninty that presents itself to us is golden
The story
Is complicated and boring
Only
If you follow it closely you can see that they were willing
With the blood that was spilling
Chilling
How they can disregard all the oppression and the killing
But no matter what they say
It continues to this day
With the door unlocked
They all looked the other way
With a willingness to lie
Their culpability denied
Precautions taken
But they never really tried
The price we'll have to pay
For giving it away
[1st Verse:]
Did you really fucking expect to get away with this.
Saying what you said you mine as well be dead.
When I get my hands on you.
There wont be a motherfucking thing you can do.
Settle the score.
This is the reason I brought you here for.
Can't forget these wounds that are sore.
They wont heal in time.
I've tried to ignore.
[Chorus:]
You really crossed the line this time.
No more time for you.
So long.
This is what you get.
For lying.
No more time for regret.
So long.
[2nd Verse:]
My heart is pumping.
My veins are jumping.
Sit the fuck down.
There's no way out of here.
I know you wish now you would have thought it through.
Now there's nothing left for me to do.
Settle the score.
This is the reason that I brought you here for,
You're sick sad pleasure.
For my utter humiliation.
Never want to feel.
The same.
Feel the same.
Feel the same betrayal.
Never again will I
I don't remember much about that night
But I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died
I think it rained, I think it rained,
I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died
You and I were always closest friends
It's women that make enemies of men
A pretty face, a pretty face,
A pretty face would one day do me in
Her eyes were like the winter when she goes
Holding secrets only winter knows
Winter knows, winter knows
Cause winter sees the wolves in women's clothes
She came to me in middle afternoon
We held each other close the whole night through
Love was blind, love was blind
I never saw her let you in the room
Someone always wins and then they write a book
I sing my defense, fingering a different crook
A gunshot was the only word you said
And all of my defenses came out red
Love is red, love is red
She left with you, you left me lying dead
But I watched her as you put me in the dirt
She had my wallet tucked inside her skirt
And I went numb, I went numb
So I'm not dead if what you did don't hurt.
[Marcus N. Colon]
Insurrection, upheaval to remove, your wicked requisition, from my life.
Dissipation, of your rule, reviling your darkness, no longer your fool.
Satan denied, death is denied, deny the lie, all sin must die.
No more vomit does this dog want to eat - hear this -
I renounce your perverted ways, retribution for my pain you'll pay,
For the blood now covers me this day, you're cancelled in my life.
Renouncement! I renounce all I've done and said, against my Lord,
Now I stand beneath, the cleansing flood of His precious blood.
Satan denied, death is denied, deny the lie, all sin must die.
[Marcus N. Colon]
Frantic, the journey's begun, fear gripping your mind, nightmare, lurking the hall, awaiting behind every door, evil invitations, in their fallen state, terror lashing its wrath, for your soul destruction.
Frantic and fighting, racing to beat, the evil covering the dream, doors are remaining, chances you have, to enter the tortuous trap.
Candles light, starting to dim, shadow, of my demon oppressors, frenzy fiendish attack, presence approaching, wicked depravity reigns, hands clenching reach, desperation surrounds me.
[Solo Marcus]
Frantic and bleeding, torn from within, seeking the haven beyond, crawling the corridor, faith's led me this far, to survive for the victory to come.
[Solo Bob]
Escape, finally I see, crawling the floors long fought, victory, shining ahead, for the way, truth and life, race for my life, salvation conquered the fight, danger, left behind me, lunging for heaven's door, frantic, now I know, how to conquer the race.
Once upon a time there was a modern fair maiden
With a lifetime that looked ever bright
Last of pure and innocence was her guard
Yet she's open for attack
But wanting excitment she sought
To fulfill a desire deep inside
Now comes a decision for love and forgiveness
She said, "I don't need this foolish Christ!"
Instead it was time for a dive into life
To see how far she could go
Throwing away her freedom
She's looking for her chains
With a heart turned hard, back to a way
That could save her life
She ventures out in a curious fashion
With no caution or fear
To see what she could find
Huh? What kind of story is this?
Recriter with crafty evil
Looking for their prey
There's an evening of high evil approaching
Thieves of lost and lonely children
Sbatching lives for deadly gain
Feeling secure
In a crowd that gives you welcome
Friends who you know
But you don't know
She loves their mysterious ways and the presence
They bring to her life
But what she doesn't know
She'll prove curiosity killed the cat
"Sure I believe in Satan"
She exclaims with unstable thought
She goes through a door
And can't get back through
Now the test
The night came
When unspoken wickedness became reality
Before me they showed
Their truest evil and every form of lust, perversion and blasphemy
With hunger for more
I scream, "I can't get involved in this!"
They smiled, "you're already in
And soon you'll be the main event!"
The night has come, ceremonial alter
Waiting to be painted with the blood of the weak
Black robes surrounding the sacrifice
To be slain in white
Her body and blood brings them power
They hunger for the feast
I can't express the horrors
And sadness of this place
As hell itself is visiting
Through a five pointed star
I hear chanting sung by demons
And a choir of despairing void
As they prepare ceremonial alter
For their lord Satan
I'm running for my life
A despairing victim with no escape
I caught and returned to the alter of death
My face to the black sky
Winds begin to stir
I lie a wait for my fateful death
There's a dark one now I can see
Waiting to take me down
I realize the life I could've had
With the God of love and power
But I turned and spat on his face
And sought a foolish desire
There's no winner in the game they play
The killer and the prey
Will burn in torment
Screaming and pleading I beg for life
Then I stop and only cry
The draw and encircle
About me for the time has finally come
Oh Lord, please God help me
Indescribable sounds of horror
As another screams to die
Rising up in sorrow from hopelessness
As millions in anguish they cry
Heckling demons mocking their victims
Emotions given to fear
As they ever burn in the presence
Of the father of all lies
All I keep hearing
Over and over again
Is I could've gone to heaven
And escaped eternal torment
Some have been here thousand of years
With no ending to come
We pray for final death
Free us from this pain
The deception of hell is a realization
Of a lie found too late
As the saints go marching into heaven
The unrepentant will receive their fate
Peace and treasures
Is what they'll enjoy above
But we'll all rot in damnation
Hey Madalyn
Why are you shooting rubber bands
To scare away the lions

Hey Charles Darwin
It's a natural selection
If it's there and no one can see it
It escapes detection
Hey Mr. Skinner
I hear you today
It doesn't matter if it's true
Abandonment of Lord
Performing spiritual adultery
Forsaking God their Deliverer
Prostituting themselves to Baal
Sent to end this apostasy
The last prophet enters the story
Standing in the power of God
Sends words exclaiming, "Elijah is here!"
The challenge is given to the king
To summon the prophet of Baal
And the people of Israel upon mount Carmel
To settle who is God, Lord or Baal
Elijah instructs, "prepare two bulls
Cut into pieces and place on an altar
You can call your god, I'll call the Lord
And the one who answers by fire, he is God"
Calling and babbling, ancient chanting arose
450 prophets of Baal danced around
The altar all day with no response
"Shout louder!" Elijah taunted
"Oh yeah Baal is god, Ha! Ha! Right
Maybe he's off somewhere travelling
Or taking a little nap, just maybe!"
The prophets of Baal shouted louder
Slashing themselves, letting the blood flow
Continuing frantic prophesying till the eve
With no response, no answer, no fire
Elijah smirked, "drench my altar
With water just for fun"
Then he prayed, "Lord let it be known
That You're the God of Israel"
The fire of the Lord fell
Consuming everything and burning the altar
The people fell face first and cried
"The Lord is God! The Lord is God!"
The Elijah commands, "seize the prophets of Baal
Don't let them get away
Slaughter them according to God
To him oh shame, they're children, piteous babes
They slay their blood, they poured out in his name
With wailing cries and tears and rue
Called sadness need as pain they knew
The land of old centuries past has a story to be told
From a time known as the iron age to the present secrets they do hold
Scotland, Denmark, Ireland and the British isle shores
Home the history of Druid worship and the Celtic tales unfold
Darkening themselves with grim understandings of mystic Celtic gods
Blood thirsty for their ritualistic slaughter they commit human life
To death they fall in wasted form to appease the earth and gods
Burned and slashed and drained of blood they're given in vain with ease
With grim grappling they reared this wind worm
Rain racked ring of late
Someone digging found a drift of white pebbles
A bronze knife and children's fire charred bones
Circular stones erected as a place of sacredness
Arranged for their temple of dedicatory offerings
Monumentarily built thousands of years before the Lord's birth
These stones cradled little children to their incinerated death
Beltain fires burned a blaze atop the hills
Waiting for offerings they kill for the sake of the living
The fear of sickness and famine compel to dance this ceremony
The sun and the moon is for them death and life as they pass
Their fateful tears through this wicked age
Intervening the church witness the need for reform on their Godless pagan day
Yeilding to these calendar high points but people yearn for these festive times
They change the name of their holiday to assume Christian status
Will they forsake ceremonies of old, do the religions of the seasons fade away?
Now a day given much feeding as children dress
For trick or treat but under false lying pretense
Is the Autumn festival of Samhain
Funny how we celebrate the innocent slain
Through wars and age the practice seems to have passed away
But traces of that dark culture still surface today
Our culture plagued with fear and superstition as true evil
Burns it's way through the age, will it's never ending
Destructive touch find a place in your life?
Our ancestry to these spirits
Life was given so life could be sustained
And forthright season by season, death by death
Through that brief generation
Of that departed age
Brings us now to the present
Freedom is nice
So why do I lock myself in chain?
To live in sid is death
So why does it rein in my brain?
My god mercy has heard my cry of despereation
I seek his face to free me from this lustful perversion
No more No more
Can I live this shame
My troughts, Slave of depravity
Pleasures of wickedness
Is offered unto me
Impurity's Dominion
Is calling out to be recieved
The invitation, an offer of sensual gain
Extended arms of death, self control falls to be slain
Plagues with sorrow
Reaching for false dreams
Lies have filled my head
I must run instead
Grace has freed me
Why I feel this need
To go back to a way
Of false love I've Played
Resist the devil, he must flee
Resist the touch, god save me
Break the controll, Upon my mind
I'm free indeed, the past behind (2x)
(1st solo Matt)
No more no more
Can I live this shame
My thoughts slave of depravity
The idea of pleasures
Is not always what it seems
An enticing way of seduction
Has a wage to be paid
The world revelling in their pleasures
Is invithing with appeal
But the devil through this lust
Comes to destroy, kill and steal
[Marcus N. Colon]
Disposed of, without a trace, the young maidens dismembered cadaver, receives her grave, no stone to mark, where she lay.
To what avail, such a waste, grim empty souls store her life, for satanic haste, a brutal crime, Satan receives his offering (in the forest of horrors).
Oh where could, our girl have gone, a father cries in prayer, their desperate hearts, search eagerly, but hope is fading dim.
Fabled stories can be told, but who will know of it's realities, fabled stories can be told, can we overrule the possibilities.
Overwhelming, taunting, torment, stirs a trouble minded man, "how can I not, give the truth, of the things I've done and seen!"
I must tell, I must tell, I must tell...
[Solo Marcus]
His return, to the scene, of many ritual crimes, bringing in, the authorities, to uncover the hideous finds.
But no bodies, what?
No proof?
