Hindsight

Twisting the images Watching them grow Into what they are not Forget we forgot as they fed on what's real The path I fell onto Of tears wades through Await the demise In sorry disguise from the things that I feel Time does not exist The days as thin as mist Deep within my eyes There is a heart that died long ago What is it going to take to get through to you? To open your fear-blinded eyes? Because there was this fear that would tear at me That by our own hands we would fall These clouds can pass no light Just silhouettes of tired life Sorrow begging, why?, for answers miles and miles from the truth Endurance and patience lost From fighting this holocaust Destroying within and eating its way from the core Time does not exist These days are meaningless Deep within my eyes There is a heart that died long ago What is it going to take to get through to you? To open your fear-blinded eyes? Because there was this fear that would tear at me That by our own hands we would fall *Forgive this heart Long stagnant with its blood For it is here, within my suffering That these, the altars of the soul have creaked Suffering Hour... Suffering Hour... Suffering Hour... My darkest hour is now What is it going to take to get through to you? To open your fear-blinded eyes? Because there was this fear that would tear at me That by our own hands we would fall *Taken from 'THE SUFFERING HOUR', a poem by TOM D. LISKEY

A hell is upon us now this day Silence whispering unspoken rage To lend a hand but not in force To speak our minds in free discourse Keep closed our eyes Blind us from the fools unseen Keep closed our hearts Drain emotion to plant the seed Keep closed our minds Turn innocence to ignorance Keep closed the mouths Mute the verbal dissonance...Always Use not, o'youth, the spoken word Here to be seen and not to be heard Thinking red-handed we are caught Arrest the growth of human thought Keep closed our eyes Blind us from the fools unseen Keep closed our hearts Drain emotion to plant the seed Keep closed our minds Turn innocence to ignorance Keep closed the mouths Mute the verbal dissonance...Always A hell is upon us now this day Silence whispering unspoken rage How can we grow with bars about? Imprisoned in a cell of doubt Keep closed our eyes Blind us from the fools unseen Keep closed our hearts Drain emotion to plant the seed Keep closed our minds Turn innocence to ignorance Keep closed the mouths Mute the verbal dissonance...Always How can we grow with bars about? Imprisoned in a cell of doubt Keep closed our eyes Blind us from the fools unseen Keep closed our hearts Drain emotion to plant the seed Keep closed our minds Turn innocence to ignorance Keep closed the mouths Mute the verbal dissonance...Always ...Always ...Always

Pools of blood of deepest red Waves that soak the world in dead Watch the bloodbath as it grows Drowning all hope as it flows Fear, gripping We're, slipping Watch as the angry masses persecute the weak As helpless people die... From death, the air will reek ...Reign of terror The world's unrest can't be dismissed A guillotine of hate exists Ignore and it will have our heads As anger bathes on our bloodshed Fear, gripping We're, slipping Watch as the innocent Fall prey to sickened minds We turn our backs But we can't leave the fear behind ...Reign of terror Shadow grows nearer Blackening fear descends Darkness speaks clearer Freedom's light will end Pools of blood of deepest red Waves that soak the world in dead Watch the bloodbath as it grows Drowning all hope as it flows Watch as the angry masses persecute the weak As helpless people die... From death, the air will reek ...Reign of terror

Look around, it's all going black Tons upon tons and it's breaking our backs We're setting our course Leading ourselves, one by one To the butcher's block We're sharpening the axe ourselves Grinding it sharper to cut through the world Touching the blade to the grinding stone Hold ourselves down awaiting the cut We're killing ourselves by running away We've got to stop before it's too late Six feet under is where we will be Deeper and deeper We're digging our own graves We're sharpening the axe ourselves Grinding it sharper to cut through the world Touching the blade to the grinding stone Hold ourselves down awaiting the cut If we take the seeds of time And throw them to the wind To fall upon the infertile soil The weeds of carelessness shall overtake the land Until there is nothing left to destroy And if we fail we can't go back We can't go back It's in our hands The fate of man Our heads on the block, is this the end? The decision is ours, our necks will not mend We're setting our course Leading ourselves To the butcher's block

But if it truly mattered And if you truly cared It would be altogether different Let the sirens scream But leave me alone to decide And leave me to what I might find Starving to understand You swallowed the lies Eager to spit them out To feed the masses And the guilt they hide Answer me honestly No more false transparencies Just where does motive meet concern? You just sound the alarm Spreading fear to bury trust To distract Until, lost and scared Frustration forces blame Starving to understand You swallowed the lies Eager to spit them out To feed the masses And the guilt they hide

Searching to find an easy way out People afraid to speak up, afraid to doubt Afraid to open their eyes for fear they might find What the problem's about...is us As long as we keep running away There is no hope, nothing will change The problems at hand are the ones we must face We've got nothing to lose And a world to gain Starving inside the hunger of one Willing to help do, this, what must be done We're wasting our time Searching for ways to escape There will be nowhere to run From ourselves, now As long as we keep running away There is no hope, nothing will change The problems at hand are the ones we must face We've got nothing to lose And a world to gain Far too real, worse than a lie You couldn't face, the truth inside One heart lonely and small To carry the weight of the world If you and I could take it upon ourselves To open our eyes to what it could be We'd be free As long as we keep running away There is no hope, nothing will change The problems at hand are the ones we must face We've got nothing to lose And a world to gain A dangerous faith, it's silence that kills It's eating at me, I'm haunted still

Lying there on satin sheets Her body cold her heart still beats A frozen love is your defeat Sitting on her icy throne What she sees she makes her own Her passion dead as still as stone Your balls are in her frozen grip you know you're on a sinking ship Its passage is a one way trip Trying hard you can't get through You've done all that you can do Hoping that she wants it too Crawling to her on your knees All you want to do is please Fuck up once your mind she'll freeze Back to her you'll come again She'll decide just where and when This pain and torture will it end You scream and cry Your dying plea You try so hard You can't break free It's love you want It makes you itch You know she is A frigid fucking bitch She'll make you cry she'll make you bleed Infect you with her demon seed On your soul she does feed Temptress harlot fucking whore Knocks you down you're back for more Leaves you lying on the floor Leave her side you'd sooner die You've tempted fate you scream and cry Shattered dreams all empty lies You're in her hold you'll do her will By crushing you she gets her thrill With twisted words she does kill In the dark she's always there Through your flesh she does tear Smash your hopes she doesn't care Pain she'll bring to your soul She's got you now she has control Your demise her wretched goal (repeat 1st verse)

I know it's true that you're feeling oppressed I know that some hold you down But fighting evil with still more evil Is not the way it's done We run in circles inside our minds With no way out or in If we're not careful they'll get our souls We musn't let them win We're fighting evil... The hands of darkness, they reach out for you It's not a game we play Madmen telling, but you don't listen To a single word they say We run in circles inside our minds With no way out or in If we're not careful they'll get our souls We musn't let them win We're fighting evil... They're blinding your eyes, telling you lies To bring disorder to the world But don't you give in We've got to show them together we can be strong We run in circles inside our minds With no way out or in If we're not careful they'll get our souls We musn't let them win We're fighting evil...

At night the fires burn, cutting like a flaming knife Looking down you see rotting carrions of life Smell the putrid stench, sewage of society Vultures circling, picking flesh off you and me Giving genocide its birth By waging war on the earth The father-land, the master race Annihilating all the rest And serving the Twisted Cross The Twisted Cross... The Twisted Cross... Extinguishing the damned Letting them rot in the camps Conquer by death, sadistic rule Twisting the minds of those deceived Who worship the Twisted Cross The Twisted Cross... The Twisted Cross... The war machine has set its course Slaughterhouse in full force Thousands will fall to this savage lunatic Before this madman can be stopped Before we crush the Twisted Cross The Twisted Cross... The Twisted Cross... The Twisted Cross... The Twisted Cross...

More than they need to put us all in chains Genocidal misfits killing us in vain Lusting for power, they play a losing game Turn earth into hell Stupidity is to blame Die helplessly In torment and agony Falling in defeat Crying as death we meet Annihilation is complete Absolute destruction killing you and me Power hungry eyes, blind, they'll never see Devastation takes us all, atomic holocaust Fuck 'em all Fuck 'em up, everything is lost We're sitting on death row waiting 'til it's done Present and past are twisted into one Pushing it too far Now the time is late Destiny will fall It seems that we've sealed our own fate Man playing God Deciding what is right Upon is a veil The deadly black of night The end has come And taken it away A fight without a victor Sanity has gone astray Absolute destruction killing you and me Power hungry eyes, blind, they'll never see Devastation takes us all, atomic holocaust Fuck 'em all Fuck 'em up, everything is lost

They manipulate and they mold The rules they should uphold His ignorance of the law Is the victim's only flaw His rights in violation Through sharp intimidation He's soon to realize That their words are full of lies A scapegoat he now is Because of the way he lives He hasn't got a chance To prove his innocence People cry for justice But the law will not take the heed Innocent victims get the shaft But what happened to truth? Injustice for all Coerced to pleading guilt Their judgments all are built On bullshit and hearsay They'll keep him locked away He rots inside his cage His oppression and his rage Now apathy and disgust Not a soul he can trust A scapegoat he now is Because of the way he lives He hasn't got a chance To prove his innocence People cry for justice But the law will not take the heed Innocent victims get the shaft But what happened to truth? Injustice for all Injustice has subdued him Deceived, repressed, unglued him No one he can turn to To wait is all he can do Persecution obvious Life becomes oblivious Fate's found him unwary He's trapped, he cannot flee Injustice Injustice Injustice Injustice for all

I remember the lost lost confusion of innocence With feelings worn so clean I wish I could look on this with different eyes Ignore the blinders reminding me Older... Wiser... Sadder... Trust has abandoned me lost ago Stolen by careful dishonesty I have forgotten how... I have forgotten how... I have forgotten how... How to believe Stop me from loving to destroy Stop me from destroying all I love Stop me from loving to destroy Stop me The pain has stripped away all rationale And left suspicion in it's place I wish I could cling to this with different arm And never know the feeling of loss or emptiness lder... Wiser... Sadder... Trust has abandoned me lost ago Stolen by careful dishonesty I have forgotten how... I have forgotten how... I have forgotten how...

Aware, yet unaware. Falling, falling, why? Blind! Ignorance the key, stupidity overrides My thoughts belong to me, although my mind rebels Reality, shaded meaning, denial is my cell Killing my mind Victimize my own belief Defy myself! Find no relief Obtrusive walls cannot reveal Cast out myself and all I feel My eyes refuse to se all I must endure Revealing walls of doubt, reality so obscure Searching, I'm searching, it's one who's deep within Beside myself I stand and now I must begin Killing my mind Victimize my own belief Defy myself!

You wear, like an enemy A false sense of security With your bullshit integrity You’d lose it all for your dignity And you tell yourself “You’re so brave” Yeah, man, fight for yours until you’re dead Well there’s plenty of that already filling holes Before you use your fists, why don’t you use you head? Sometimes we’re overcome By the child inside We grow, and never grow inside Well I play games I don’t see Accepting false hospitality With kind words your disguise deceit Yeah, I help you and you screw me And somehow you think you fool someone Surely someday this mask will fall You find strength in one on one But there’s something real in all for all Sometimes we’re overcome By the child inside We grow, and never grow inside And you tell yourself “You’re so brave” Yeah, man, fight for yours until you’re dead Well there’s plenty of that already filling holes Before you use your fists, why don’t you use you head?

The gentle embrace of death Touches my weary soul I’m closer to the end now Enough despair! I’m whole! Destined to make the right choice My existence, a constant struggle Soon I will at last be free Of my chemical burden My consciousness is raised Without society’s poison Destined to make the right choice I exist but I have to feel vital Helpless, abandoned Relentless attack Realize my dreams I can’t turn back Always doubting yet indecisive Meandering convictions become so pensive Part of me wants to live I grope for a reason Yet I’ll be granted solace Seeming serene…open Destined to make the right choice I exist but I have to feel vital

Was I wrong? Wrong in assuming That nothing at all, without thought would just fall into place? Was it hope, that something would change me That led me to see the mistakes that had gutted my frame? Was it strength, yearning for purpose? Or weakness just desperately searching for something to fix? To create, from self-induced ruin To try and rebuild what remains from what I have destroyed Why’d I make is so hard? So quick to doubt? So ready to fuck myself over… Was it truth, logic or reason Disappointment or fear that led me to question all things? Far beneath the self-inflicted wreckage I rest in pathetic assurance that failure is safe Why’d I make it so hard? So quick to doubt? So ready to fuck myself again… Was I wrong?
