Atonement

Turbulent images, what's false and what's real A world viewed through a filtered eye Conceal the truths we refuse to believe Cloud our vision, distorting it all The wicked and corrupt surround us Their perpetual horrors so blurred Creating the visions that mislead us Hiding the terror we're not meant to see War torn and ravaged Justify the death The dead will never challenge The means to our end Dark light so blinding The truth is never clear Our paradise of wonder Crumbles before our very eyes Feel its hot rays shine down upon us Its scorching radiance forms burning apparitions of fear A world turned on end Where devils become Gods Born into the chaos We seek the divine Cast in its light, soothing and calm But what will we see when the light is gone

Phantoms of disorder Move silent through our world Unseen and veiled by chaos Planting seeds of dissent Assassins of peace Enforcers of power The smell of fear and weakness Draws them to their prey The kingdoms they tear down Become the carrion on which they feed Predators in wait Devils in flesh Turning dreams to black Bring nightmares to us all Greed is their God And your Gods they will devour Poisoning morals... Reigning in nations Plotting fate... Abolishing faith Stop at nothing... Ransom the sun The darkness takes hold When the Jackals come Their war is already won Your world will end When the jackals come

Isolate us from one another Contempt for the unknown Hatred tears us apart Foster the great divide Unsettling the masses, Igniting the flames of hate Serving the black gods of prey Their treachery demonizing us all Incite us to keep us apart Feeding the fuel to the fires Festering masses Awaiting the world to erupt Horrible and wretched souls Inferior by design Contemptuous and vicious Beneath us, eradicate them all Dividing lives, dividing worlds Layer upon layer Of mistrust and fear Rage filled eyes Stare at one another Splintered and fractured The world bleeds red From lofty heights Down to the dirt Create disgust For one another Take the bait That lures us in Leading us down This path of savagery Light the fuse And set the world ablaze Secure atop your gilded thrones As you divide us and conquer

Massive hordes defecting Dropping from God like flies Wise to your temptation Our strength turns us away from the light Like vultures to the wounded Twisting dogma into fact Seek refuge in illusion No shelter from reality's storm The waning flock still arrogant Ignorant of their demise Decadent halls once filled with devoted Now crumble before their eyes Our storm grows ever stronger Extinguishing their light Deny the great deceivers The heretics will rise Rise up from the ashes Rise up from the shadows In darkness we are one Rise up our time has come

Watch them all burn, cinders and ash Pyres of beloved, our rulers ignite Proving their points, stab them deep in our hearts Another generation lost to the leaders of sorrow With harsh souls of ice, and sharp tongues of fire They promised us peace, in pieces they left us Minced up for glory, devoured like prey Millions of corpses paving the way The war machines have come Hostile beasts feed on the young Forced upon the fields of blood Countless lives forever unsung Molded for battle Marched off to die Day into night, night into death Its cold hands around us, tightening its grip The Gods of war have graced us again Triumphant today, plaguing tomorrow This unforgiving pursuit of dominance Drives us deeper into endless pits of chaos The beasts await Our sacrifice Bring them flesh and blood Eroding humanity

Lower and lower, my soul sinking lower Living for indulgence, the trinity of man Me, myself, and I Higher and higher, my greed takes me higher All those below me I've cast aside Clawing at their flesh to reach the heavens above Deeper and deeper, my mind sinking deeper When is too much enough to throw it all away Stab my allies in the back just to seize the day Lesser and lesser, my life feeling lesser Loathing what I am, the lower form of life The blood on my hands will never wash away Mad with guilt, spiraling out of control Cold with hate for myself and what I've become All that's held me together is broken but will I fall My twisted ambitions still calling, the voices I can't ignore Not even God can save me now That flame burned out long ago All my ways of sin and greed Are the only passions I know Darker and darker My soul gets even darker Moving ever closer to the depths from which I can never return

Force of God, forcing extinction Archaic in mind, archaic in ways Threaten us all through your barbaric ways Pulling us in to your religious storm Mission of hate, mission of death Sent to kill, devoid of thought Maelstrom of caustic beliefs takes hold Legitimize their senseless acts of cruelty Twisted minds will cleanse the world with hate Endless rage and fury throughout all time No match against those who dive in fire An age of war like no other Angel of hatred now spread your wings Shower your thorns down upon us Anointing the pure holy water so red Taking away from us all that you can For the horror you brought For the punished you've left We cast you out For your blind hate filled acts For your crimes against man We cast you down Pray all you want for your sins Beg all you want for your soul There is no atonement

I am the Father I am their sun See how they crawl to me Our visions one Sin for me... To raise us all I am the Devil I am their God I hold the power I hold their hearts Die for me... Raise me above all Take of my body, my blood, and my soul I'll grant your greatness And elevate you beyond all you know I gave you purpose... I showed you the way You owe me allegiance... You'll owe me much more Soon I'll call upon you to step into the dark Perish for me or perish eternally Our time has come to take what's ours Fight like you've never fought before Lead my charge, deny me nothing Terror in its purest form Deny them mercy And show them how death truly feels Shattering mountains Blacken the earth Destruction of all that they know The smoke has cleared The air lies still This carnage before me Will grant me triumph's crown A new day has dawned I am the one The world is now mine My kingdom has come

A divisive force Bestowed with the power of gods Move us like pawns Marching us towards the fall Conquerors of heaven Tearing down our gates Like hands of God Molding our world's fate Their vipers unleashed Their conspiracies slither among us Orchestrating death The filthiest of work in motion Masters of perdition Imprison us in chains Like hands of God Choking life and seeding ruin Pull the strings that oppress Another day of pain Like nooses around our necks We die once again Taint the air and fill our lungs Poison the ground and drink it deep Masses of fire seen for miles Watch the horizon burn with their greed All glimmers of hope will fade Corral us in and watch us fall Wretched forms of humanity Consuming all life and light Like demons racing towards the sun We'll fall to ashes one by one Pull the strings that oppress Another day of pain Like nooses around our necks We die once again

Sky of fire... Ground of dust Flames around me... Heaven has lost A world of faith... Brought a world of hate Lust for power... Brought a world its fate Faith... Lust... War... Death Bending our knees to your illusions of love Breaking our hearts with your passion for ruin Drawn into devotion, we never looked back We vowed our lives to your promise of hope and glory Pitted against ourselves Determined for conflict Campaigns of death Cast into war for their visions of greatness Our faulty convictions Our towering judgments Have brought towers of fire Incinerating us all I see it now The lies have all been burned away We've fallen our last time Nothing left to save Hate... Fire... Ash... Dust
