As Hope Dies
Album • 2003
Legions bow to a faceless God Faithful to their lord Willing to die for this savior They can not see. They can not feel. Wasting away Brainwashed forever. Unwilling to see the lies Bound and gagged from day one. Wings broken with no chance to fly I look into this empty sky with eyes of hate for you Great deceiver. Holy one. Lord of deception. I denounce your name Legions bow to a faceless God Faithful to their lord Willing to die for this savior I look into this empty sky with eyes of hate for you Great deceiver. Holy one. Lord of deception. I denounce your name Legions bow to a faceless God.

This track is instrumental.
With a hope for purity You offer up your hands and bow your head to your divine one These actions done in vain for your faith is built on nothing But words that hold no weight, written by men deceived just like you Willing to sacrifice their lives and live a life according to these false writings I ask of you to turn against this and to declare against his following To renounce his throne with all your being, for we will set fire to his name I ask this of you not for myself, but in hoe that you may understand that Religions do nothing but kill and deceive the innocent Bow to nothing and find guidance from within for we will set fire to his name

These memories they fade quick with every breath I realize with you gone. I can feel whole. Was forced to bow But my face will kiss the ground. Never again Raped of my everything. I was place in a mold. Since my inception That I had to set a flame with a trembling hand and eyes ready to burst with tears I commit an act of beauty and walk away from everything That I had ever been taught and with putting faith in myself I was given a gift and a chance at life to be mine These memories they fade quick with every breath I realize with you gone. I can feel whole Was forced to bow, but my face will kiss the ground. Never again So I now stand apart. I look into his empty eyes A life wasted. Caught up on something. He could never even see He now awaits the embrace of death. Waiting for his beloved maker An angle appears. Dressed in fire and whispers, it was all a lie.

Born into this world A fragile being so becomes calloused by hardship, reality an bleak circumstance For the weak will perish in this eternal fire Only leaving hearts made of stone and hate Betrayed by the words of false prophets Feeding the broken words of hope in vain No comfort can be found in the embrace of insincerity We hold on by a thread of hope, but that thread is nothing but a false glimmer We are the calloused and the broken baptized in eternal fire For the weak will perish in this eternal fire Only leaving hearts made of stone and hate Betrayed by the words of false prophets

And in the presence of that evening Charged with meaning and with stars I opened for the first time to the tender indifference of the world As if my great anger had purged me of all evil Emptied me of everything of hope in finding it so like me Beyond control and ability so fraternal and in the presence of that evening Charged with meaning and with stars, I opened for the first time To the tender indifference of the world I withheld beauty so that all would be complete So that I could whisper a new song and fell less alone I gave up my insides and the only things left for me to hope For there will be many smiling people Looking on the day of my execution And that they would welcome me with Cries of hate as if my great anger had purged me of all evil Emptied me of everything of hope welcome me with cries of hate

With the blood of millions on your hands, the human race is led astray by demons Disguised as angels. The human race suffocates with prophecy that tells of torment For those who do not believe in what these demons teach, and yet they still believe And yet they still believe you are compassion. That you are the answers to their pain This is not the answer to eternal life your sacrifice in vain For you book off life speaks of no truth, it deserves fire. I'll watch it burn With the blood of millions on your hands, they continue to sacrifice in the name of God In the name of love. In the name of compassion, when will they learn that there Lives are based on nothing but a false existence in the human race suffocates With prophecy that tells of torment for those who do not believe in What these demons teach and yet they still believe When will they see that your book of life speaks of no truth. It deserves fire. I'll watch it burn.

All I wanted was something to hold dear Something to hold near to my heart Denied again, I'm left with a bitter taste in my mouth and a heart as cold as ice With no warmth in sight, your embrace feels like a slap to my face So shallow and fake will this ever end. Will my torment ever cease Wishing I could feel nothing. A life dead to love All I wanted was something to hold dear. Something to hold near to my heart Denied again, I'm left with a bitter taste in my mouth and a heart as cold as ice With no warmth in sight, hoping for a heart that can feel no pain Rip this from my chest, so I can never find it in myself to love and forgive you Will my torment ever cease. Wishing I could feel nothing. A life dead to love Free from love. Free from emotion. I'm free from you.

Realized under the cover of darkness We are the dreams and they are the shadows Of doubt in a lucid mind In a cocoon of fear There is nothing left But to tremble an submit While all that could of been Lies undiscovered without meaning What's kept in conquers What's kept out and we'll be found dead Behind locked doors with prayerless hands Clutching useless keys Asleep forever
