The time approaches.
This is where it ends.
Feeding off of spite,
two wrongs make a right.
Watching us suffer,
now the tables turned.
Your retribution,
the dead must be done.
I command, show yourself.
Bringer of death.
You will pay for taking
her final breath.
Beating down death's door.
You defy what we stand for.
Death to the deranged.
Today is the dawn of change.
Beating down death's door.
Today we settle the score.
Deicide practiced.
Your reign has been dismissed.
Bow down deity.
You will implore me.
The tyranny ends,
a new beginning.
Now off with his head,
severed ligaments.
The blood river flows
a pleasing odor.
We are not pawns
on your chess board.
Now you choose,
death or bow,
to your new lord.
Hallelujah

Falling From Grace
04:43
|

Always searching for an answer,
it eats at me like a cancer.
Born to suffer eternally,
a master plan of misery.
No mercy when we're on our knees.
Our tears could fill a thousand seas.
Time spent crying out "why God, why?"
With clenching fists, we damn the sky.
Curse me father, for I have sinned
and I know I'll do it again.
I'm not worthy in my own eyes,
so surely you too will despise.
Our faith died long ago,
waiting for an answer.
The deafening silence.
Swallow each spoon fed lie.
Brainwashed sheep fall in line,
controlled by the divine.
Why can't you hear? You can not see.
Devotion crumbles beneath me.
Either deaf ears or false teachings,
don't believe the lies they're preaching
Wrong convictions, my prayers ignored.
With open eyes, a sheep no more.
Join me now before it's too late
and we will decide our own fate.
I do not fear hell anymore.
I renounce the oath I once swore.
His existence has made me laugh.
So bring on his incurring wrath.

Forsaken the Fallen
03:29

Judgement is cast.
The nonbelievers fall below.
Forever shunned,
no blessings he will bestow.
Burning the damned.
Pray for death, it will never come.
Designed torture,
thy will must be done.
Give into temptation.
Doomed from the start.
Not worth redemption.
A deceptive art.
Forsaken the fallen.
You are forgotten in hell.
Forever alone,
reap what you've sewn.
Forsaken the fallen.
Your flesh so rotten in hell.
For the resident scum,
death never comes.
This is your fate,
life created by a sadist.
Born to suffer,
the only reason we exist.
Eternal fire,
burn below for his sick pleasure.
Eternal rape,
sodomized forever.
Lied to the whole time,
delusory.
Unholy divine,
forced you to your knees.

Bare witness to the abuse.
What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger.
Desensitized, it's no use.
You're only beating a dead horse.
You love to see me suffer.
Another victim of your malice.
Why do you even bother?
I have become impervious.
I've been fractured,
but never broken.
Sometimes the most is said by
the words unspoken.
With each new day,
a new test begins.
But don't ever give up.
Don't ever surrender.
Debilitating words driven in like a sword.
With vocal chords removed,
those words were spoke no more.
Efforts to destroy end in asphyxiation.
I was forged from the flames of degradation.
There is no hope to be saved
when every step is on my own.
Daily bludgeoned, the depraved
faceless demons that plague the land.
Living life always distressed.
It would have killed a normal man.
Through the fires of they're detest
and each time I emerge stronger.

Burn the Remains
05:45
|

|
Unrest grips me as we take in
her pale stare, her lifeless eyes.
Too soon it seems, but here we are.
The flames lick higher as they char.
Burn the remains,
but remember their names
Though you're deseased
they can't kill your memory.
Just hold onto life lessons
they've taught you.
And do not frown.
Vengence will come around.
Kneeling down near freshly dug soil.
Relive the past, relive the horror.
Sorrow fills my empty soul.
The mysery, so abysmal.
Mourn for the ones we could not save.
A tragedy, an unjust fate.
Forever here you will remain
beneath the stone that bears your name.

Soul Reaver
04:42
|
|||
|
Filled with anger
and lust, the greed.
Taking from you
all that you have.
Crush the feeble. Bent to my will.
After each one, yearn for the next kill.
Paranormal, frightfull the sight.
Devour the soul. Add to my might.
Rip their hearts right from their chests.
Drink the blood of innocents.
No morals to hold me back.
Longing for the next attack.
Painted crimson with the flesh.
Bodies laid down to rest.
Another soul devoured.
Addiction to power.
Soul reaver, evil demon.
The world is mine for the taking.
Soul reaver, evil demon.
I can feel your will is breaking.
Power hungry.
Can't fill the need.
Those with the most,
always want more.
Slaughtered victims, no one is safe.
None can hide from the path I pave.
Infernal one, the wicked king.
Basked in the fear that my reign brings.
I will rip your soul out.
Consuming everything.
There is no escape.
I grow powerful.
Hunted down and drained of life.
I decide who lives and dies.
The strong will trample the weak.
I am the wolf. You are the sheep.
