Rise
Martyrs of science
Burned at the stake
Opposing philosophies
Laid to waste
To disagree
To reject blind faith
An uprising of dissent
Lying in wait
All through out history
Nations built on death
They speak of religion
And killing in the same breath
Manifest destiny
Is arrogance
Will they kill their own kind
When no one different is left?
Inequality
Destined to fail
Ignorance is bliss
Behind the veil
Endless suffering
Throes of our past
Counterintuitive
Critical mass
All through out history
Nations built on death
They speak of religion
And killing in the same breath
Manifest destiny
Is arrogance
Will they kill their own kind
When no one different is left?
Rise
Whenever diatribes turn into violence
When ignorance becomes malevolence
xenophobia, dehumanize
No longer complacent, the meek shall rise

Ascension

awaken a sleeping giant
imprisoned in a regent's tomb
persecuted stripped of his birthright
evil has now escaped it's womb
for years he bides his time
an heir to the throne
awaiting to take command
to rule on his own
violent insanity
committed in god's name
drunk with arrogance
oppressed cries in vain
ascension, cycle now complete
opposition lying dead at his feet
for years he bides his time
an heir to the throne
awaiting to take command
to rule on his own
violent insanity
committed in god's name
drunk with arrogance
oppressed cries in vain
mind full of rage and insanity
the bloody flow of destiny
tyrannical blasphemy
heresy through vanity

With Serpent Tongue
04:42
|

|
Is it your arrogance believing there's no consequence?
Is it your ignorance? Words that you must later circumvent
You opened up your mouth and spouted without reverence
Your blatant disrespect, impervious to normal thinking
The words you speak
lead me to despise
How does an ego become that size?
Open up your eyes
Vanity soon undone
With Serpent Tongue
Could it be impotence? Increasing oral excrements
You are oblivious, you constantly become the victim
Self inflicting, isolating, alone
How does an ego become that size?
Open up your eyes
Vanity soon undone
With Serpent Tongue
Drowning in narcissism, believing in your faulty wisdom
You fail to realize your actions can have repercussions
Your negativity spewing out in all directions
Can only lead to being a casualty of insurrection
Drowning in narcissism, believing in your faulty wisdom
You fail to realize your actions have repercussions
Small man, your demise
Open up your eyes
Vanity soon undone
Victim of your Serpent Tongue

From The Ashes
04:39
|

|
Arise from the ashes of past lives
Become anew and finally fly
Shed the skin of your regret
Reborn
You are the only one who can make the change
Do nothing and everything stays the same
If you're tired of being in misery
Cut all ties with negativity
Ride the winds of change to a better life
Leave all the ones who live
behind a mask and suffer greatly
looking to step on you preventing
You from making the change
Do nothing and everything stays the same
If you're tired of being in misery
Cut all ties with negativity
Impulse leads to chain reactions
Decisions sometimes made in vain
Hold fast to interactions
Which bring you joy and not pain
The world will continue without you
Long after the worms dig in
Discard the things that surround you
that seek to extinguish the fire within
Arise from the ashes of past lives
Become anew and finally fly
Shed the skin of your regret
Reborn
You are the only one who can make the change
Do nothing and everything stays the same
If you're tired of being in misery
Cut all ties with negativity

The Passing
05:14
|

|
Time passes, steady and unforgiving
It waits for nothing
Every day a struggle, forgive me
I indulge to ease the pain
The day turns to night
and I need shelter
The dark murders light
and I am cold
No breath, no life
moments without you
Your time has passed
and I'm still here
Taken from me, way too soon
I still can't believe you're gone
I see you in the faces of others
I can still hear you say my name
The day turns to night
and I need shelter
The dark murders light
and I am cold
No breath, no life
moments without you
Your time has passed
and I'm still here
To hear your voice, to hear your laugh, to see your smile
What I would give for one more day
and there is nothing to fill the void
In my heart I keep you alive
Time passes, steady and unforgiving
It waits for nothing
Taken from me, way too soon
I still can't believe you're gone
The day turns to night
and I need shelter
The dark murders light
and I am cold
No breath, no life
moments without you
Your time has passed
and I'm still here

Bred To Kill
04:17
|
|||
|
Bred to kill a long and deadly bloodline
The thirst for greed the art of taking lives
Bow to me or embrace your death
The tortured cries fading out with your dying breath
To protect the throne from instability
The families of the week impaled and placed for all to see
The pungent smell of death a demonic display
Supporters of my rivals boiled alive to their dismay
It’s time to give your life, to lend thy sword to me
With the last breath that you have left deadly but holy crusade
An infectious disease I am the fucking cure
Dealing death with sacrament to keep my kingdom pure
Your pain becomes my morbid pleasure
In vain no reason in this mind
Obey respect the absolute power
Remain only to face the end
Your death ensures my reign
Your tattered corpse remains
A vision to remind
Loyalty or the same demise
Destruction under way
Living hypocrisy
The people of this land
Ruled by my iron hand
An infectious disease I am the fucking cure
Dealing death with sacrament to keep my kingdom pure

I am a cesspool of disease
I am the filth on the harlot's knees
I am the vermin you despise
I am the teller of all lies
I am the pain you can't relieve
I am the truth you won't believe
I am the path that you forsake
I am the ram, I am the snake
fall to your knees from the tyranny
of the schizophrenic personality
I am hatred, I am death
I am the alcohol on your breath
I am the one twisting your arm
I am the cause of all you harm
I am the cross that you must bear
I am the cold behind your stare
I am the friend and the enemy
I am you and you are me
your inner consciousness
telling you not to be weak
open your mind
set your demons free
share your misery
inflicting pain
the only way for you to feel bliss
fall to your knees from the tyranny
of the schizophrenic personality
you've got to set your demons free
I am you and you are me

mass production
for luxury
codependant
society
for convenience
we sacrifice
destroy the planet
for the fruits of life
we all dreamed of utopia
now we're all awake
a bitter mean to an end
slaves to technology
life was ours to take
ignoring the flames of the end
what exists
within the ash
burned alive
reduced to dust
nothing left
can't escape
memories replaced
by murder and rape
we all dreamed of utopia
now we're all awake
a bitter mean to an end
slaves to technology
life was ours to take
ignoring the flames of the end
no law but the strongest survives
to exist we destroy other lives
we take, we kill, we burn
now the stars are our only light
no more fuel to keep us warm at night
we fight, to live, til death
gone are the days of comfort
in a rich society
our greed has now been replaced
with regret and futility
