Birth and the Burial

Stuck, a relic in time Dated, erase from my mind Your words have no merit Whisper from the past, grin and bear it Actions, horrid things you do Court jester playing the fool Hypocrite in your belief To all you're nothing but a thief! But a thief! Time has come Penance for things you've done Lies spilling from your teeth Spewing up from beneath You're a throwback! Nothing but a throwback! Winding back the hands of time Taking back what is mine Life no longer will I give Another sucker to help you live Your presence makes me sick Spreading lies, think it makes you slick On the table, nothing to offer Morally bankrupt, empty the coffer Casting out the line Friendship torn, we pay the fine Put us all on the hook For the lives that you took You're a throwback! Nothing but a throwback! THROWBACK! THROWBACK! THROWBACK! THROWBACK! Bad blood, on the wall Shouts echo through the hall And though, you can't see Your absence I decree Dagger, in the back Cold blood, soul of black Live and learn, we're all heard On your own, the absurd [Solo] Cockroach under my foot Scurrying away with what you took Back from the filth, which you came Stealing ideas for your acclaim Parasite bleeding out my vein Diminishing the soul as you drain Weakened will, you're left with doubt It's at this time I cast you out Talking behind our backs Making allies with false facts The circles that you spin Confusion, chaos, you can't win You're a throwback! Nothing but a throwback! Vulture picking through the scraps Rummage around your hopes collapse Picked to the bone no more to swallow Retribution soon to follow Virus spreading though the human race Disguised as a friend as you dry to save face The fever runs its frantic course Rooting you out at the source Hourglass of fate Falling sands as you berate Kinship only as it serves Wretched friendship no one deserves You're a throwback! Nothing but a throwback! Bad blood, on the wall Shouts echo through the hall And though, you can't see Your absence I decree Dagger, in the back Cold blood, soul of black Live and learn, we're all heard On your own, the absurd THROWBACK!

So we are born to devolve Conceived to abide the deceiver Abhorrent oppressor you are Condemning them all, fake redeemer Descendant of fire The rebel angels: they bear witness Brace for destruction The human spiral commences now The inconceivable dream The hope, it fades from your eyes Humanity is degraded... by a legion of lies We are no slaves to resistance Leads you to the fading light No man's land where the human vice turns Lost and there's no end in sight Cleansing our wounds in the blood Advocates of utmost evil Speak of a savior in tongues Banish him with your betrayal Command the disciples The remnants of all bastard children Punish and prosper, initiation starts now A moral and all-knowing God Born to lead us to damnation Condemned to the afterworld Disgraced by the congregation Vile in his sermon, principle of his existence Fed by corruption, forbid the profane We're your flesh now

Forcing out the lies upon those believers seek the truth Banished by the blood that now flows Chosen are the few that make the rules Justify in denial, disguising all the clues Enter the place of no return Sacred scars thy lord Belial Strike me down, evil unseen. Renounce the crown Buried beneath. Strike me down, death of a dream Nothing to redeem (Falsehood of Hope) Remain in the darkness, one knows there's nothing to see Sinking from below corruption, souls converge Sinful supremacy The Masters heard through thunder, Altar of deceit Relics of our final rapture, Sacred scars thy lord Belial Immaculate, the infernal son, Throne of the adversary Infliction, the iniquities, Abomination & decay The innocent immoral one, Damned in the court of the king Dissension & impurity, False deity

Who you are and who you were With everything you say, it's said and done Nothing to shield the disdain Illusion of a broken man you are You're disconnected from the world beyond yourself See that what you do hurts someone else Such inhumanity... It's pure insanity, the words in which you speak You're going in for the kill The hunter is captured by its prey - It's only natural You play the game not to win Seek comfort in pleasure that's your pain - refrain and re-fracture Unfulfilled and full of rage Emptiness you feel, it's all your fault The waking hours remain The lack consciousness says who you are You set the standard for your sheep senseless ignorance Your arrogance makes sure you always get your way You hide behind the door, given another chance You'd do it all again, despite the guilt and shame Dismantled and disengaged, rely on promises and broken vows The voice of reason is void, embrace the future as a total loss

Vengeance, strike you down with no apology Penance, for the depth of my psychology Reaching out, trying to find a place to exist Presence, the moment's struggle slowly consuming me [Solo] Silence, buried inside the secrets we all hide Essence, all the good within but can't abide The light once had, crushed under black skies Remnants, hopes and dreams ignite, come alive! Legacy, what would you have me to be? Jealousy, the shell is all that's left to see Heresy, leave me to my misery Remedy, confront my pain peacefully Legacy, what would you have me to be? Jealousy, the shell is all that's left to see Heresy, leave me to my misery Remedy, confront my pain peacefully I see myself Falling, into a dead stare The mirror's grimace is more than I can bear Calling, out in the cold dark air Does anybody hear me? Like I'm not there! [Solo] Falling, into a dead stare The mirror's grimace is more than I can bear Crawling, out of the dark despair Rising from the ashes sinister ensnare Legacy, what would you have me to be? Jealousy, the shell is all that's left to see Heresy, leave me to my misery Remedy, confront my pain peacefully [Solo] Acceptance, for regrets that past cannot be changed Riddance, shed the skin of thoughts once deranged Through the dark, shards of light pierce the cloud Reverence, avoid the mirrors glances and the shame Crawling from a dead stare Forestalling a dead stare

We're taught to see ourselves as something invincible Low self-opinion, is that all we've created? Assembly line of souls, for lack of principles We're playing God now that our savior has failed us Manifestation, heed objective ambivalence Genetic torture, seeds of manipulation Methodical machines, we're raped of our innocence A new reality through eradication Our brave new world disappears, the Armageddon is here No mere mortal holds the key, Wastelands - Disastrophe Defuse the motion, revolution around the bend We're back to zero, our guards down - we're defenseless The termination of the mind, it's our bitter end Contortion divides with dire consequences Evolve, revolt, disguise, distrust The road to extinction, decimate humanity Extreme isolation, catastrophic scorched earth tragedy Cries of desolation, obliterate technology The ramifications, remnants of our lost society Our hands are tied, we're somewhere in between space and time Superiority, here nothing is sacred Hounds of hypocrisy, they howl in the dead of night Chaos it reigns eternal, void of creation

Choice made to step on backs, to stop at nothing, until the spine cracks Ground laid forsaking all, sneaking in the shadows, emerge, standing tall No thoughts of effect, the cause is always greed the rest you neglect Say goodnight to the world, the problems you caused unravel unfurl To stop at nothing Fulfilling hope And those once thursting against the ropes To kill the empathy Devise your scheme You're burning anyone, for your poison dream Decimate! Escalate! Your thoughts and goals would have everyone filled with hate Designate! Devastate! The sign of damage not seen until it's too late The crime, when it's all said and done who's at fault? Your right like a victim condemned, an assault Your dark thoughts of victory, we are all scarred Forgot, those so simple for you to discard [Solo] To take and deceive An act of kindness, is more than you conceive Dry lake of emotion Sympathy for others is a foreign notion To stop at nothing Fulfilling hope And those once thursting against the ropes To kill the empathy Devise your scheme You're burning anyone, for your poison dream Relegate Delegate Putting goals over other others, in extreme Desecrate Total hate A forewarning for the poison dream!

There's no resolve - revenge for blood Bravery becomes your disguise for war Freedom is forced - What is it worth? Wear the scars with pride, disregard the hurt Into the fold - been through the worst Society just throws you away like dirt The banner is torn - This land is not yours They've come to take everything you are Struck by aggression, you're not real Just an illusion - Exit here Obey the fallen, fight and kill Your execution - line starts here Do what you're told - Torn from your home Withstand all the suffering that you've caused Have no remorse - Feel nothing more Hide your pain, prepare for the final course Waiting your turn - No matter the cost You give your life, admit to yourself you've lost Watch the fields burn - Forget who you are Reveal all your hopes and dreams are gone Is this retaliation? Another soldier is scorned Bow your head, ask forgiveness The inevitable - Your exit here Fail to follow - heart so hollow - heartless Fail to follow - heart so hollow - exit here They take control - Bound by the law Traded in your family for a gun Damage is done - Hell here on earth Sworn to die with honor, hero to all

Sound of the psalm, light before dawn Born into a symphony of snakes Nothing beyond, the cold winter's spawn Our enemy approaching closer One kneads earth & clay, blessing made of dust Flowers wilt, only left with the thorns The ravage sky shakes, falling leaves of rust Crimson word we sing is our only (broken) song War between worlds, the right side of wrong We are the atrocities unnamed United by arms, dagger & sword Years will never bring us closure Souls slain under the crimson psalm The darkest hour is ours The cleansing of mankind is past due Ten thousand horns are overheard The scene of destruction is all we knew Our broken bloodline says it all Extinction of our time, the only truth The cries of rebellion and shattered youth Rise from the fog and save us all The killing floor, bonded by blood Lost beyond the reverie and pain Fight for the cause, we've come so far We shall never be forsaken

Cast into flame, you are the fire. Bridges, they burn Your friends walk away from you now Debts from the past. Strangers return, promises sold They've come to collect what you owe Rest and repent your sins, it's a feast for the dead Heaven's burning below - Your name on a tombstone Your fate, it falls on deaf ears, with every unanswered prayer Your reap what you sow - The birth and the burial You're bleeding out, buried alive. It's your last breath You're helped dig the hole that's your grave Sever the ties, leave them behind. You've tortured yourself Haunted by your biggest mistake No God will answer your call, you're left to die on your own Give yourself unto the earth, it's best for everyone else Fatal embrace, feed their desire, your cradle, it falls Your firstborn will surely be blind Mourning the loss, you are the sign, an unspoken curse Secrets untold, come to life
