Alpha and Omega
04:22
|
|||
|
Two-headed beast just like a siamese
Delicate, yet hard to beat.
If you take up arms against it,
severs the limbs from the meat.
The battle wages ten-thousand years,
no gods or prayers, no winged angels.
It was sent down from the heavens,
to drag me screaming to my deepest hell.
So hideous yet so beautiful,
The greatest but the worst.
The alpha, the omega
The blessing and the curse.
I made a weapon to bring destruction,
and strike down this monstrosity.
Sharpen the dagger, prepared for war,
This mortal foe of my humanity.
No savior cometh to deliver my head,
from evil's evil dealt upon my face.
Malevolence begetting animosity,
yesterday's torture, today's fall from grace.
No heart beat, cold blooded,
Horrible faces never to forget.
Remorseless, unforgivable,
The birth wounds of my death.

Unwanted and Despicable
03:59
|
|||
|
I couldn't keep from falling down
This thing you loved to push around.
Head underwater, you try to drown.
I scream, but no one hears the sound.
The ragged edge you use to scrape
Away and there was no escape.
Running, the trip, left on my face.
This reject, my disgrace.
Unwanted and despicable,
Begotten to a world that hates me.
Unwanted and despicable,
Hit me, hurt me, hate me, waste me.
Logic was absent at the time,
While all the nails were deep in mind.
Took years to rip myself down,
and wash this blood clean from my crown.
And then they had to get their shot,
Beating the horse, pouring the salt.
Purge me from all society.
The bloodletting they long to see.

cruciFIRE
04:42
|
|||
|
Prophets foretold, this chalice of blood.
Poured from the head, and born of the mud.
Anger shall arise, from the rejected.
In grim retaliation on the ones not protected.
Pick up the gun, fill it with bullets,
Erase all their lives, find the trigger and pull it.
Eye for an eye, life for a wasted life.
Make these ones cry, the results of the knife.
I was nailed down, but I'm becoming the nailer.
Prison of hate turned me into the jailer.
A thousand lies to find the lord of all liars.
The crucified will be the cruciFIRE.
Fashioning crosses, cut from the trees.
To nail and to burn the human debris.
No one recieves a stay or a pardon
Dying, they hang like a Golgotha garden
Vengenance of need, cold promise of hate,
Passage of time, demands not to wait.
Prayers on the knees, whispers of "thou",
Leads me to ask, where is your God now?
May have lost the battle, but I must win the war.
Defending this house, pick open the sores.

What I've Got To Do
05:42
|
|||
|
If I told you, you wouldn't believe.
You'd try talk me down and you'd try to decieve.
There's a reason why I'm looking for a way out.
Just another voice in my head that needs to stay out.
I'm possibly insane and probably disturbed.
There is good reason to be deeply concerned.
But no one ever cared, why would they start caring now?
On the brink of time, got to get it done somehow.
And now I know what I've got to do
I know I'm gonna have to see this through
It's slowly taking control of me
I know it's never gonna set me free.
Take a close look at the source of my hate.
There is no drug in the world that can sedate.
Been to hell and back one too many times.
So I cannot rest until vengance is mine.
Are you still confused on why I'm making these plans.
To eradicate the ones who put this shit on my hands.
Culmination of everything I've waited for.
To use them up and waste them just like they were a whore.

You Still Believe
05:26
|
|||
|
Been so long that you've been seeking salvation.
And even longer that you feared damnation.
Always hiding from your wicked thoughts.
Locking your mind in this little box.
And yet, somehow, you have no regret.
For the worst that you've done yet.
But it's not God that you need to appease.
Time to repent, get down, bend your knees.
*You still believe in everything you're told.
*Forever blinded by the faith you dearly hold.
**You will pray when you see the silver gun.
Nothing can save you from what you have done.
If God was real he would erase my mind.
And I'd forget the way I was maligned.
you -Never would have done the things that I despise.
I -wouldn't have to look for you with vengeful eyes.
But, -as I used to say, God is just a lie.
We tell ourselves so it's ok to die.
Since you believe, I guess you will not fight.
You'll just give up on this darkened night.
I can't spare you,
because I don't wanna inspire your faith.
If I let you go, you might think
It was God who changed your fate.
You failed to destroy me, as I warned,
So this is what you get.

Blood
05:42
|
|||
|
Never felt the pain I was feeling.
It never healed, skin just kept peeling.
Threw away what nobody ever wanted.
Now like a deer, you're game to be hunted.
Find out just how this hate feels.
Tied up and spinning on this death wheel.
Frozen fearless, bent on retribution
Bleed through the one true solution.
Only blood will come out of this.
Looking to flee but didn't see the fist,
Sweating and tightly clutching the gun.
Follow the blood trail as you run.
Too many sins to just ignore.
Hit the bottom straight through the floor.
Naked and hopeless, the choice made clear.
The desperation chewed through the fear.
victim slowly coming into view.
Well-rehearsed lines make their debut.
The violent scene satisfies my need.
Hate you more than you will bleed.
Feels so damn great to hate you.
I create you, I'll erase you.

Crux of Repulsion
04:30
|
|||
|
And you can see within my eyes I hurt myself over and over again
And you can tell by the way I died I never had a perfect plan.
I was just guided by the pain that you drove deep inside.
This was invited by the way you smiled as you spewed your lies.
Lie to me once more, I dare you,
These words were not meant just to scare you.
Writhing on the ground in convulsions,
This is the crux of repulsion.
Did you think that I could forget with this seething hate I've held?
Did you think I would regret as strongly as I feel compelled?
And you feel so sorry now the knife is slicing through your chest.
And you feel so dirty now falling limp guilt unconfessed.

Point Blank
04:07
|
|||
|
Inject the lethal dose,
Quiet then comatose.
There is no last request,
For what I most detest.
The white light fades away.
On this most brutal day.
Expired decaying queen
Sorted by God's machine.
Gagged, tied, you cannot speak.
The strong conquer the weak.
The snake consumes the rat.
There is no coming back.
The first won't be the last.
This sea of hatred vast.
Burns down just like a match.
Till they have been dispatched.
The things that torment me.
They'll never let me be.
Haunts me until the grave.
Too sick, too sad to save.
Dead and decaying fast.
This storm has not yet passed.
The bile rises high.
In vile, hate-filled eyes.
Complication,
Aggravation,
Indignation,
Altercation.
Infiltration,
Laceration,
Suffocation,
Termination.
Look into vacant eyes.
Echoes of all the lies.
All that you once believed,
See if you've been decieved.

The scars will never heal, when the flowers die,
And my mind is a funeral home, where the bodies lie.
What you kill will make you strong, isn't that what they always say.
Die or stay dead inside, there is no other way.
Must have forgotten your coat, your heart is cold again,
frozen and turning black.
Your skull still bleeding where the bullet left its hole,
gone and never coming back.
Everyday just hate myself, for what I have done,
But when you boxed me in, where could I have run?
The red is on my hands, no place left to hide,
Gun charred and smoking still, left inside my mind.
You took everything away.
I turned you cold and grey.
You thought it would go away.
I left you to decay.

Drag You Down
05:01
|
|||
|
Been so long since you became this thing - worthless, undesired.
Long faded are the days when you had something that I admired.
We're both headed to the same place, I thought I'd give you a ride.
It's the least thing I could do, since you ruined me from inside.
You can't keep running and running forever.
You can't keep hiding and hiding forever.
Drag you down to burn forever
Drag you down where you can never tell.
Drag you down because I hate you.
Drag you down with me to hell.
I guess Jesus never loved you, he couldn't save you from me.
The supplications that went unheard, down on your bended knee.
Your cult of brainwashed zombies, didn't come to your aid.
Join me down in hell forever, your debt must now be paid.
I'll make you run and keep running forever.
I'll make you hide and keep hiding forever.
Hole in your head.
Long strands of red.
Diet of lead.
You are too dead.

No Remorse
04:49
|
|||
|
Should I be feeling something now?
I know the why. I know the how.
Was wrong but it all felt so right.
Under the black of darkest night.
Now has the debt been fully paid.
There are no cards left to be played.
The bones will one day tell their tale.
For now, they hide behind the veil.
I'm feeling no remorse at all
I pick it up to watch it fall.
All feeling long since dissapeared.
Lets me be everything you feared.
As I look down at these remains
Can't help but dwell upon the pain.
Inflicted, caused what has transpired.
Now burns away in smoke and fire.
Still I, devoid of guilt and shame,
Brush all the ashes clean away.
Peel off the gloves, here comes relief,
From what was agony and grief.
I'm feeling no remorse at all.
I pick it up to watch it fall.
Just left with no one else to blame.
No matter, life is but a game.

Nothing More To Say
04:27
|
|||
|
Vengence cycle now complete, the deed is fully done.
Now the race is over, but the winners number none.
Doesn't feel good, but it is the medicine I need.
And it filled the need I held so long to watch you bleed.
There's nothing more to say the damage has been done.
Victim of the consequences you could not outrun.
Bury it deep where it is never to be found.
Cover the mouth so if it lives there is no sound.
Burn back the trail and see that nothing's left behind.
Rip up the pictures and erase it from the mind.
There's nothing more to say when you're lifeless and gone.
No one will miss you when the sun comes up at dawn.
Oh so sorry, I am not sorry.

Killing You All The Time
04:11
|
|||
|
There's a part of me that lives inside you
It will never go away.
Lives on, a grim reminder,
Today may be your very last day
Choking hands, the final nail
Tear smudged letters in the mail
The horrid fate that could befall
A beautiful way to end it all
I'll be there, in your mind.
I'll be there, killing you all the time.
I really want to watch you suffer
Witness to your tragedy
Wish the pain could last forever
Just like you did to me
Torture by remote control
Mental scars might leave a hole
Best wishes, congratulations
On your total devastation
