Killing the Future

Future denied As mankind races towards extinction Has every hope died? So it would seem For we're killing the future...

I accuse thee of the worst imaginable crimes The destroying of an innocent But why? What sort of satisfaction do you earn? All I know is that your soul will burn [Chorus]: A child is born, his mind is torn By abusive words and beatings What has he done, this only son To deserve a life of pain? His mind draws in to protect him From the hand that strikes and feeds him Soon he will know, that even though He's done nothing wrong, he's Scarred for Life! Scarred for Life! See the suffering etched into his every feature The gift his parents bring Will be with him 'til his final day... And so you see the insanity that violence breeds: fratricide and matricide And then, unleashed upon an unsuspecting world outside It's a man whose life has been denied [Chorus] A child is born, his mind is torn By abusive words and beatings What has he done, this only son To deserve a life of pain? His mind draws in to protect him From the hand that strikes and feeds him Soon he will know, that even though He's done nothing wrong, he's Scarred for Life! Scarred for Life! And what of those who commit such heinous acts? Can any punishment truly fit the crime?

Burning! Why do you burn me? Have we not had enough flames to last us through eternity? Dying! Why must I die? Do you hold me responsible for what has happened to your lives? Do you believe the lies?... It seems I must die for you to realize It's pointless! This changes nothing The world that we once knew will still be dead and passed away Burning! Why must I burn? Do you think that upon my death the old world will return? [Chorus]: Burned at the stake By a world in search of misplaced vengeance I'm not the one Who's destroyed all that you loved I tried to warn them But they wouldn't listen, they never do Burning nations Seems the only way to open their eyes I see it once again - the windstorm passes I kneel where I once lived and search the ashes For this place held countless memories But now I pray that they will leave me be ...that they will simply leave me me ...and spare my soul this agony Dusk approaches! And with it comes The time at which the flame is lit and I'm undone Burning! Oh god, I burn My final statement: now I know you'll never learn! [Chorus] Burned at the stake By a world in search of misplaced vengeance I'm not the one Who's destroyed all that you loved I tried to warm them But they wouldn't listen, they never do Burning nations Seems the only way to open their eyes ...but now they're closed forever...

The three day war No time before had ever seen such power released Great cities fell. The earth went to hell Thousands then alive soon were deceased Technology - given to me Turned me from man into a killing machine Just black and white. No wrong or right No fine line in between Oh, god, forgive me!... In the distance - a burning city The flames foretell my eternity [Chorus]: Decisions made - obey my prime directive When there's no war, how am I to obey! Destroy the enemy - my prime directive But in this world of peace, who is the enemy? Who is the enemy?... I must decide - syntheticide? Or a life full of guilt and pain? This bloody trend will never end There's everything to lose and nothing to gain I fought for the free and tranquility Now I murder those I swore to protect Why do I go on? My time has come and gone But the truth is just so hard to accept Though, I must try... The urge to kill, comes over me Now, I feel the flames of eternity [Chorus] Decisions made - obey my prime directive When there's no war, how am I to obey! Destroy the enemy - my prime directive But in this world of peace, who is the enemy? Who is the enemy?... Who is the enemy?... I am the enemy!

Pure evil! In human form will never die, yet was never born Descending! On doom we ride All fingers point towards genocide Abominations in a world of sin Evil spell is cast from the hell within Domination of unholy ways Those with the faith have now gone astray Uttering words from a sacred book Some feel these sins will be overlooked Self-righteous fools wear the mask of god Others too blind to see through their facade False prophets speak in a twisted tongue Obtained victims at an age so young Brainwashing of the innocent ones Realizing too late that the damage is done Seasons of pain as we try and obtain world peace Living in hell each day while murderers walk the streets Our leaders to blind to see what's best for you and me Hole in the sky causing death to our oceans and trees Not much time left to repent our sins Famine's rampant time and time again Plague and disease are burning out of control Millions are dropping, finally, death takes its toll... All that is evil. Deep within the soul of man All that is evil. Taking mankind by the hand World full of hatred! I think we've got to find a way to dispel the evil If things don't change we'll never be the same... Why does it have no end? It seems to be starting once again Spiralling to the point of no return What once was good has gone bad Try to find the life I had Before the evil came to take my soul... Seasons of pain as we try and obtain world peace Living in hell each day while murderers walk the streets Our leaders to blind to see what's best for you and me Hole in the sky causing death to our oceans and trees Your mind begins to work in sickened ways Finally realize that you have been possessed by the evil! All that is evil!... All that is evil!...

Prophecies from a time long since past Days of peace much too good to last Preachers speak of an eternal hell In a lake of fire we dwell...we will dwell! Books have been written of a madman's rise Hitler's reign led to millions demise Prophets spoke of a third world war A rage of nations never seen before Plagues of hate unknown to man While many find the promised land Others burn in the abyss No one can imagine this In ancient times kings spoke the words The prophets spoke of things unheard Now their dreams are coming true Is this the end for me and you? See our future land in our leader's hands Deny us our demands See what we're becoming Age of decay is showing Distant signs of sorrow Sorrow Prophecies from a time long since past Days of peace much too good to last Preachers speak of an eternal hell In a lake of fire we dwell...we will dwell! Plagues to hate unknown to man While many find the promised land Others burn in the abyss No one can imagine this In ancient times kings spoke the words The prophets spoke of things unheard Now their dreams are coming true Is this the end for me and you? Distant signs of sorrow Distant signs of sorrow... Sorrow...

See my victims - they lie face down in pools of blood It was so easy - they offered themselves unto me Suffer! And pay the price As you drown in pools of blood In pools of... Blood is flowing in rivers fed by scarlet rain The storm unleashes - I lift my face to taste the pain They led worthless lives. They died by my hands. Bear witness as the victim's family mourns the loss of their only born Thirst for blood is growing stronger As I watch them die, I feel no sympathy I feel no sympathy... I feel no sympathy. I want to hear your screams... Hear you scream... As you drown in pools of blood... In pools of blood

With the new millenium we're told the final day will come But much as yet is still unclear As to what sort of death to fear But I must agree, I've seen the signs The ignorance, moral decline, the spiritual decadence I cannot help but feel we have no chance Do not think there is no hope to change the course we've set Our fate has not been sealed as yet But time is short, we must decide Do we want to live or shall we die? Destroy the land and burn the air As mother earth weeps in despair I'm of the mind that we must pay For these crimes commited every day [Chorus]: Mark my words and realize With each hour the planet dies The time has come we cannot wait It's possible that tomorrow may be too late We see the future by looking to the past But the present's changing much too fast And every day may be our last... Mark my words And open up your eyes Look to the fading skies There lies our greatest threat And it must one day soon be met Mark my words The time is drawing near When we are forced to hear The cries of our despair For too few chose to care [Chorus] Mark my words and realize With each hour the planet dies The time has come we cannot wait It's possible that tomorrow may be too late

Incineration - the unholy flame Will be unleashed upon the world Cities burned to ashes. Bodies turning into dust No one can see, soon we will be [Chorus]: Blown away. Ripped away, swept away. Into nothingness... Blown away. Ripped away, swept away. Into nothingness... So many times, it's happened before To so many lives and so many worlds Numbers en masse commit suicide Do we approach the end of the line? We are... [Chorus] Blown away. Ripped away, swept away. Into nothingness... We are blown away. Ripped away, swept away. Into nothingness... A blast from hell one thousand times more intense than our sun Ripping flesh from bodies, then boiling the blood Morbid way to end things, existence is denied One way to die - death from the sky This mindless act of man may be his last Populus deletus - few are left alive Songs of sorrow being chanted Now that the end has arrived - no more warfare Now we die in solitude As the world is... [Chorus] Blown away. Ripped away, swept away. Into nothingness... It is blown away. Ripped away, swept away. Into nothingness...
