The Vengeance Paradox

Piss again all over your protest another log added onto the fire Give away your position in solace to a role with no thanks or desire A dark sight to behold a cruel tale untold A wretched growth in its place to poison yourself with mistakes Ends tied will only loosen in time A hollow reflection forebodes you and I No resolution in false restitution, betrayal in its place I won’t bow or bend will to anybody this cage can’t hold onto me I won’t break or bend my will to any of this darkness that is calling to me The darkness is calling to me I will take this cold embracing feel its shaping changing me in eternal bliss It shapes me in eternal bliss On through the darkness a lost hope is found in silence no longer the mute make a sound break through the horror from which we were born we'll burn through the ashes and break the old dawn Marching ever forward to determined to look back kicking up our hallowed ground press harder till it cracks Marching ever forward to empowered to look back the battle lines are drawn and in the end I’ll take it back Marching ever forward too relentless to look back weapons drawn in strength and number press for the attack I won’t bow or bend will to anybody this cage can’t hold onto me I won’t break or bend my will to any of this darkness that is calling to me On through the darkness a light has been found in silence no longer the mute now make a sound.

Lay down your arms to me bare your throat for the sweet release I will drain your life tempered sacrifice Now bow down for your honour swear your devotion unto me no more self-desire live your life, then give it all to me Now the blind shall see as they draw their final breath take your sins and walk away March Hands bound in gracious silence a willing tool no need for violence I will turn the knife pain will not suffice Now bow down for your honour swear your devotion unto me no more self-desire live your life, and give it all to me Now the blind shall see as they draw their final breath take your sins and walk away March All through the hollow you will follow me with pride no doubt or hesitation, love will fill your eyes No second guessing no doubts lay in your way I am all knowing and to me you should give praise I am the coming of the age you wished you've known I'll swallow everything reaping what you've sewn I'll spare you nothing smile and make my way leave you in the dust telling yourself you'll be OK I'll spare you nothing smile and make my way I am all knowing and to me you shall give praise.

Stuck on the thought of regret another day has come and gone Lost out on another event all in all is another gone Broke my vow of silence today, I swore I'd never tell another soul but beauty bested the beast in me and now I'm screaming in another hole All that I had left, has been forsaken all that I held best, has been left wasted Eye for an eye stand by and watch the world go blind a dead pool of never ending pain is what you'll find A lost tome written by the hand that guides the spear through the heart of the earth Foolish words spewing out of the mouth with no intention, valour or worth No, you are not safe from me Now you'll be in debt to me forever begging, keep you under lock and key Watching as your light goes out for me Bathe in your light as it fades laugh as your life drains away Now you'll be in debt to me forever begging, keep you under lock and key Now you'll be in debt to me forever watching as your light goes out for me.

Promises made an oath sworn with pride never to stray far from your side I'll never stray far from your side As the days grew longer, nothing much mattered to me resentment was lead in the endless display Shoulders where held down, the weight of the world as my crown self-inflected apathy I'd never seen a day when life depends on me Careless aggression gave way to obsession I'd bow my head in loss, for a moment in time now lost and I still await that old hour Little one, innocent son I swear I will always be here No more waste in regret accept the fate we have met Begin again Move away from the hate, fear, loss, bitterness see through the haze rage fuels best A lesson of mine, will be yours in time how you prepare the duty is mine I'll pave the way for you Pave our way for you And father I'll bury my anguish with you Loss, nought to replace Loss Our time was short to most but I've never felt as close and I still await that old hour Little one, innocent son I swear I will always be here What's now begun, won't be undone.

Veer away from the souls decay, a rotting hole born of dismay trust burns and your own you betray, a life, lived, lost A life lived lost Now based on the sins of the father duly passed onto the son no more mistakes in my honour the damage is done A beast is born from regret forged through the passage of time the fate of the world have been reset and chaos becomes my kind. Tainted eyes, roll back to see inside what's kept within this hollow lie Lessons have changed, a plan re-arranged And no one to hold on the line This will bury you in time I won’t fade to nothing I won’t fade away Too proud to just fade away A life, lived, lost Look at your fucking self Veered away from what I know, what's left today tomorrow we owe veered away from what I know, what's left today tomorrow we owe You can't fight Veer away, life force in decay.

No excuses left to justify your theft now The dead memories lingering longer fueled by regret Lies lay beside, the excuses in your eyes rage gives way to violence, and damns you for all time No, more, see, what you, have done. You're no hope at all A dangerous field left barren of life that you steal I won't let your kind get away vices will mount in the end you must pay Lies lay beside, the excuses in your eyes rage gives way to violence, and damns you for all time No, more, see, what you've, done Left alone at night with terror in your eyes stuck within the rage left alone at night no end at all in sight accepting a life in a cage Coward in life, living mistake, left you with nothing but shaming and waste No, more, see, what you've, become Left alone at night with terror in your eyes the wolves with which you've laid left alone at night no end at all in sight bare teeth in the bed they have made. Left alone at night disaster in your eyes lost within the strain left alone at night no more time to bide accepting a life filled with hate.

Light another candle, throw it in my eyes another act of fallacy hidden behind your smile Like it's all the same, heard it all before take away your crutch now you're knocking on death's door No account for apathy, given it away shut my ears to all your shit, won’t listen to what you say No more lies, or games to call your reason makes no sense at all See all, end all, be all and now you'll watch as I fall no more empty pages courses ran for ages into the wall While you waste away, I'll beg for more Twisted voices in my mind, whisper where to find a hatred growing deep inside, and how to make it mine Becoming the see all, end all, be all and now you'll watch as I fall no more empty pages courses ran for ages into the wall No more lies, or games to call, your reason makes no sense at all. While you waste away, I'll beg for more Becoming the see all, end all, be all and now you'll watch as I fall no more empty pages courses ran for ages into the wall.

Into the vestibule with nothing but my pride left in the empty isles where shadows cannot hide Inherent doubts and fears no longer at my side my body swept of filth and cleansed now in the tide We are the end to come to all that has begun say goodbye to the setting sun one for all and all for none Now wipe the blood away that covers up your face behold the prophets in illuminated grace Hands raids towards the tower high above the storm struck down the righteous few blessed to be reborn The march of the damned, burns through the turf no longer salvation but melting the earth Waking disaster, that hides in your faith no longer salvation that's left in it's wake All hail the king of kings, saviour of the herd fire dripping from his lips and ice forms on his words The heavens open wide and swallow up the sun arms wide in loving praise the damage has been done We are the end to come to all that has begun say goodbye to the setting sun one for all and all for none.

Step out of the mould, look at yourself realise you're not who you thought and no one could tell Now whittle away all the pieces, till everything that matters is gone mind hanging from a thread, what feels so good can't be wrong Walk the plains of existence, see there's nothing left for us hollow structures give into weight, straw used as bricks fool now it's too late The missing pieces won’t fall into place the fount of contempt flows, now come have your taste. Tried to abide all of your lies to my face you hid poison thorns in sweetened disguise Now whittle away all the pieces, till everything that matters is gone mind hanging from a thread, what feels so good can't be wrong Given everything heart, soul, mind and skin dedicate to the cause Lost my way again, now this is my sin doomed to live what is left, with the thought With the thought Step out of the mould, look at yourself realise you're not who you thought, and we all could tell Now whittle away all the pieces, till everything that matters is gone mind hanging from a thread, what feels so good can't be wrong.
