V. Chapter One

Words Shallow excuses For those pleasures of ours Born Of hate and abuses Dreams Lost in my network of scars Cut me loose of the strings Placed in the hands of the ignorant fools 'Cause starting today I'm gonna have my own way And do what I choose So cut me loose Voice Of a personal demon Drowned in the echoes of hounds Noise Of my private redeemer Scream Ripping the ocean of sounds Cut me loose of the strings Placed in the hands of the ignorant fools 'Cause starting today I'm gonna have my own way And do what I choose So cut me loose Now The darkest hour's getting Close But never mind your fear Now It's time to clench the fist For those Who've finally made it here

Every moment of day Every waking hour People sin and betray So let them feed on each other But you're Trying to mend Imperfections of men Hey, what you see is what you get In this godforsaken land My will is done And regrets I have none I've filled my life With hatred for the black lit sky You see, love is not enough For people kill the things they love And I won't miss Those who try to get me fixed It's hardly smart 'Cause I was broken from the start I'm broken from the start Broken from the start I am trapped in these walls And it's safer within Walls built from the stones Thrown at me by those without sin By those Trying to mend Imperfections of men Hey, what you see is what you get In this godforsaken land My will is done And regrets I have none I've filled my life With hatred for the black lit sky You see, love is not enough For people kill the things they love And I won't miss Those who try to get me fixed It's hardly smart 'Cause I was broken from the start

Fed with noise of the street Stands the temple of concrete Our salvation is for sale Meet the one who doesn't fail You'll never be the same Built on greed, born from blood Last resort to Neon God Witness to his solemn reign Watch in awe as he reaps again I breathe this poison Just to feel alive I want to see Through your smoke and mirrors I disappear In the echoes of your nights You'll never be the same Now I wear the dead man's face Forced upon me by this place Thousands watching through my eyes Shadow's silent acolytes
