Will you show me who I am? Will you help me understand? Disinformation travels Through static lines Fluorescent lights surrounding This distant shrine Will you tell me where I am? Seems it's got to be A new identity A brand new energy That transmits through the haze of industry Infused in our subconscious Through filtered light With programmed divinations Of hybrid design This dark intelligence Seems it's got to be A system atrophy A signal frequency That broadcasts from the depths of the abyss Will the mainframe systems rot? Will you intercept our thoughts? Black helicopters circle Just overhead Artificial spirits mingle Among the dead Will technology decay? Seems it's got to be Mystic technology A new divinity The lights shine down on a frenzied parade again I can show you the way The skyline fades like synthetic decay again I can show you the way I will come through I will show you I can cure you Meet me up in the sky Meet me up in the burning sky Take me up to the sky Take me up to the burning sky The axis turns and the temples will burn again I can show you the way The symbols show how the earth will erode again I can show you the way

I showed you something your eyes could not see I took you to a place where you'll be free It's raining outside on a world that's in flames The sky opened up and it asked me my name And I said... I am a sentence that has no meaning The fire burns so free and lovely I am a sentence that has no meaning The fire burns so free and lovely A flash of light swallows a thousand more years Awash in the streams of our mother earth's tears A swirling grey torrent of violent rebirth Will rain on the brow of our dear mother earth So I said... I am a sentence that has no meaning The fire burns so free and lovely I am a sentence that has no meaning The fire burns so free and lovely I've had to deal with the time I spent Asleep under the firmament Oblivious to anarchy And struggling for more air to breathe I want just to be somebody I want you to be somebody Deal with the time I've spent Consumed with my own arrogance I want you to be somebody

I've got to face this casually And quit singing songs about freedom Now it's time to close our eyes And hope it all blows over You've got to see yourself For who you are When it's not too hard to deal with Long - Gone - Down - Dead Long - Gone - Down - Dead Pull me out of the rain I'm drowning Hold my head under water So I can't breathe Right the wrongs of the world I'm waiting Keep repeating your lies Until they sound like the truth Prophecy - Prophecy - Prophecy No one hears you Sanctify - Sanctify - Sanctify No one listens anyway Long - Gone - Down - Dead Long - Gone - Down - Dead The anger flows like spilled wine And soothes me with its calm acquaintance It feels okay to lose control And act out with no clear reason You've got to hide yourself From who you are When it's not too hard to deal with Long - Gone - Down - Dead Long - Gone - Down - Dead

It's all this regret that seeps into my head Hear how it taunts me I need to be trained how to act and behave Please hold me down Welcome into my hollow world Welcome into this black room I feel like my thoughts are no longer my own A spokesman talks for me I lease out my days for a minimum wage As the years slip by To speak the truth, a point that's moot We're trapped by our desires Do what we're told, remote control We're tricked into submission Slaves to a wage, paid to behave Erase yourself completely We're bought and sold, remote control Deprogram our desires Under an empty sky Dwell in this hollow world Under an empty sky Await the end of our lives

In this cold world we're all malnourished and alone But the earth will ease the struggle We live in hunger In search of meaning where there's none A communion of uncertainty and guilt We destroy the only thing that makes us one Burn down the temple where we all were born It's a vicious circle that feeds upon itself In the end we're left with nothing but a shroud I feel helpless I'm alone Is it everlasting? We blot it out with cold detail And the apathy is frightening Out in the darkness I feel as though I'm one with it And I do not need your shrines to prove my faith We will sacrifice the force that brought us life Kneel down to worship what we're thought is right Instilled with fear for a god that isn't there While we rape the earth that nourishes us all I feel helpless I'm alone

Over the mountain we climb Into the valley of the sublime We've been held down for so long We've lost the pride that we felt too strong Our black-eyed savior grows his flowers in the dirt Come to me, angel, let me wash away the hurt We've let go of something we held too strong But it doesn't matter now that it's gone Because it takes all we give It took all we had And it's better off left now, deep in the past Sickened by the sight Never had the right Strangled by your laws Crawling up the walls We'll stay, just the same Over the mountain we climb Into the valley of the sublime We've been held down for so long We've lost the pride that we felt too strong Wade in the water where the infant first breathed life Come to us, angel, save our people from the strife I've latched onto something I've missed for far too long And it doesn't matter, I know that it's wrong It unites us as one, like father and son And the circle is broken... The damage is done So we'll fade into the same

Asleep so soundly as the night begins Confront this nightmare and awake again The faithful look upon you from above Enchanted by the madness of your love We will dream of pagan dances We will soothe the sweet assassins We will claim this world as our own In desperation, hold me tightly The salamander visits nightly He will grant us everlasting bliss The earth will open Thy will be done Time will trudge on The sky will open I was so wrong Time will trudge on Life is beautiful Appear before us within a dream Entwine us further with this entity The withered statues crumble instantly The voices issue forth in endless streams I will dream of tribal dances I will soothe the sweet assassins I will dance the fatal dances

Speak up if you're so persuaded This is the path I'm supposed to take There's a strange sort of logic to The way we live Unaware and afraid Will I see it tonight? I will burn in neon light And in a moment I'll realize That I can never go back A strange blessing indeed Where what I hate is what I need And all desire is twisted Into something unknown ¨ So I cauterize the wound again And withdraw into complacence I work hard to set the stage again For things to just get worse So I wash away the residue Of another day's self-abuse I work hard to further numb the sense Of accomplishment Somewhere down the road Somewhere down the road Speak up if you're so committed To a cause you believe is true It's a strange sort of logic To the faith you have It's a common excuse Will you be there tonight When I burn the neon light? Will you remember my name When people no longer care? A strange blessing indeed We pick the wound and let it bleed And when the blood is all drained We'll do it over again I work hard to cover up the pain But it stays there anyway And it forces me to face the truth I've been asleep so long So I wash away the residue Of another day's self-abuse Will this strange benediction Bring me what I deserve? Somewhere down the road Somewhere down the road

Did you ever really wonder about the air you breathe And the happiness you'll never reach? So cry out because life's not fair And what you really need is never there And then it hits you that knowledge is sin And you'll never be the same again You know that seed is sown And the new world has begun We are one We're the secrets forgotten for so long We are one We're the dreams of the prophet's lonely song Did you ever really ponder on the shapeless themes Of forgotten times and ageless dreams? Or find out what the black code spells And the ancient divination tells And then it hits you that knowledge is bliss And life is really meaningless You know when the books are burned That the old world has returned We are one We're the secrets forgotten for so long We are one We're the dreams of the prophet's lonely song

Can you bring me there? Show me things that I've never seen I want to see it burn I want to see it burn in vain I want to see you there I want to see you there in the flames I need to release it I'll take it tonight I'm not used to the colors that appear in my eyes They bring us pleasure They bring us pain But never, never, will they come again I want to see you there I want to see you there in the flames Can you bring me there? Show me things that I've never seen I want to see you there I want to see you there in the flames I want to see you burn I want to see you burn in vain The visions burn for me so bright Beyond control The visions come to me at night Beyond control Time - Heals all And now it crawls inside of me And brings illumination Now it dwells inside of me

You talk about a master plan Where faith and violence go hand in hand Keep holding onto all of your easy answers You fantasize of mass destruction Like a whore in love with her own reflection A dying world's the key to your salvation You can never see within me Or understand the words that I speak You want to take it all away I defy your trite conventions I abhor your moral lessons I want to throw it all away Guided by the spirit I don't want to hear it The sun sets tomorrow Will you see it? Steal my soul Take its toll Unholy poetry You question why we all exist Like an offspring born from the serpent's kiss Do you believe in all of your easy answers? Are death and god entwined so tight In a sick embrace that sees wrong from right? Set your clocks to the end of our existence

So close all along Let's tremble to the silent drone And wander through the wreckage As the day slips into night Take care not to speak Of the illness that slowly creeps Into the order on man For without this we are lost Still you wonder, is it worth the fight? Does it make a difference Who is wrong and who is right? I've known all along The secrets kept in the protocol We are all agents of sickness A conspiracy of frailty So lost in the guilt Let's worship the idols built To ease the pain of creation And to grant us immortality Still we wander into foreign lands In search of power we don't understand So I pray now for the ending of the lie The protocol of the elder code will rule Bow down in fear Pray for the end of the lie You never wanted someone to tell you how to survive You never left for help With the conflicts of this life The black tongue of the orphaned son will speak Bow to its grace The whore will ignore the law of vice Bow to this sin

Divine paranoia A voice far away A lingering fear reappears to confirm this decay A blessed disease Of royal decree A shadow is cast The hungry must fast Pray for the power That cripples divine Prepare for the feast and the beast of the coming decline We are enthroned Descendant from the ancient blood Enslaved - We wait With baited breath Divine - We writhe In lovely death Bathe in the ruins A circle of rust Bow down to the statues that wither and crumble to dust A dreadful disdain A siren's refrain Falls on deaf ears A hundred more years
