Drugs 03:25
Seeing bright lights right in front of my face. I've been walking for miles, but i'm still in one place. I can't discern what's real from the things that I see. Don't know what I am, don't know what to be. Losing control so slowly, but ever so sure. Can't just have one, i've gotta have more. Don't know if it's good, don't know if it's bad. I guess I should just go and ask my mom and dad. Drugs - take you where you wanna be! Drugs - show you what you wanna see! Drugs - lift you up and set you free! Drugs - it's the only cure for me! My mind is dumb and numb but so what? I can think outside the doors that you've shut. Explore strange dimensions that you leave behind. Sometimes you see best when you make yourself blind. I feel like an alien deep down within. Sent from mars to save the world from sin. With a magic anal probe made of noise and sound. From an an ancient Chinese burial ground. Drugs - keep my head screwed on straight! Drugs - so much fun, I just can't wait! Drugs - have you feeling oh so great! Drugs - get euphoric and sedate. (I really want some . . .) (I really need some . . .) (I gotta get some . . . ) Drugs - now my brain is so damn wired! Drugs - got my body on fire! Drugs - of this feeling never tired. Drugs - take me higher and higher. Drugs - gotta get'em while i can! Drugs - just like an egg in a frying pan. Drugs - they're imported from Japan. Drugs - making me a happy man. on drugs!

Frozen World 03:20
Numb, just like novocaine straight to the heart. Try to light this fire but it just won't start. Nerves had been severed the the demons of the past. Just an icy black heart, small and made of glass. It's this frozen world that I live in. Can't you feel its cold icy breath? Eternal winter of anesthesia. Standing just inches from the edge of death. Can't feel the pain and all receptors have died. Dried up stiff from the hate and the lies. Pins and needles are the most I can feel. And just below the surface, there is nothing that's real.
5.
Deep in the rapture's haze, sometimes you can't see clearly. Blind within the fog of this frozen night. But this one dream, is brighter than the noontime. There's never been a better time for toungue to tell it right. My love for you is never fading, even as all the world is degrading. For you I would pay the highest price. I'd bend down and crown you the bride of christ. With all the pain that I've been through. I just can't build this kingdom without you. So I'm on my knees and asking once, twice thrice. Will you let me crown you the bride of christ? We've survived together through this nuclear war. Down in the bomb shelters, of our concrete hearts. I feel connected as I never felt before. I can finally see a fit to all of my parts. I sit with sheer anticipation. As i await this revelation. If this gift I've freely given will suffice. And I can crown you the bride of christ. I know in everything I do. This kingdom, it will crumble without you. So I'm asking you please will you make this sacrifice. Will you let me crown you the bride of christ? I know that this could be. I know that this should be. Tell me if this would be. Tell me if this you'd be. This simple thought I can't remove. And I am waiting just to get a chance to prove. That for you I'd give it all, i'd give my life. If you let me crown you the bride of christ. Something fresh and something new. Will erase the past, broken and blue. Put a little thaw to my heart made out of ice. And let me crown you the bride of christ.
6.
When the sun goes down, across this barren land. And the sliver moon shines down on desert sand. It's easy to see, there's power in the night, where devils lurk and witches play, and god's nowhere in sight. Baby don't you feel this power in the night. Pulling me to you and everything feels alright. baby don't you feel this power in the night. Nocturnal addiction draws me in with all its might. with all its might with all its might Baby can't you feel it Come over you and me? Like an opiate drug As high as we can be. In the cold black midnight When no ones around to spy I'll eat your flesh like bread and drink your blood like wine Baby don't you feel this power in the night Pulling me to you And everything feels alright Baby don't you feel This power in the night Nocturnal addiction draws me in with all its might. Golgatha in the dead of nighttime. In the right place at the right time. In the right place at the right time. In the right place at the right time. Baby don't you feel this power in the night Pulling me to you And everything feels alright Baby don't you feel This power in the night Nocturnal addiction draws me in with all its might. baby don't you feel the power in this night? Somthing dark and magical Right before our sight. All of Golgatha feels the power of this night. And when the morning comes, I'll still be holding you tight.
7.
Closer the time grows, Exactly no one knows, For the bride to come and choose her groom. Criminals, liars, black angel choirs, Await this union of death and doom. A prelude to destruction, of man's contruction. The end of everything we hold dear. What Satan joins together, let no man sever. Mind this all who have an ear to hear. Here we all gather, as blood does splatter, Over all the unseeing ones. Trumpets are blaring, as we're preparing, For a bullet that will fit the gun. This is just the beginning, Of what will be an ending, A union in death, Mortals at the knee bending. The decomposing face of An ever dying bride. Will find her mate, on a black horse she rides.
8.
Fast Forward 03:10
Put the timeline of the world in a VCR, fast forward one thousand years past where we are. A future will be found of death and pain. When the kingdom of man shall end its reign. You can't help but tremble when you think, one day the whole world will be gone in the blink, of an eye and tears will surely be shed. When the bride puts the crown upon her head. Fast Forward to a world with no future. Cause after the wedding, not even a suture, Will be able to mend the world at its end. Fast forward to a future of death for all men. It's like a horror story told on halloween, With a love story weaved in between. A story of how god fails mankind again And this time all humans will meet their end. But nobody knows the day or the hour, So stay in your house and just pray and cower. Before the master who's pulling your strings, who will swiftly bring an end to all things. Keep your eyes closed Cause you don't wanna see. How grey and dead Our future will be
9.
Vows 02:46
How easily this mess is made. How simply mankind is betrayed. How quickly they'll chop off your balls. how boldly they'll lie to us all. How forcefully they'll make you hide. The shameless truth you keep inside. How violently they take command. How deceptively they'll take your hand. I vow to fuck them up inside I vow to disprove all their lies. I vow to bring them to their knees. I vow to make them beg me please. How violently will you react? To halt their every work and act. How gladly would you watch them cry? How viciously would you make them die? How swiftly can we bring an end? To the diseased fabric that they mend? Will you so valiantly fight? Or will you cower into the night? I vow to never fail to fight. I vow to work for what is right. I vow to silence all their tongues. I vow to choke breath from their lungs. Bruised and Broken, Is how we shall leave them. Before the death shroud, We take them and beat them. Throw them to the ground, And scoop all their eyes out, Then we'll defile them, and let all their bodies rot. Leave them to rot! Yeah, we'll leave them to rot! I vow to make them wretch and bleed. I vow to give them what they need. I vow to take away their strength. I vow to lead them to their death. I vow to crucify them all. Hang them at the place of the skull. Golgotha, left as a sign. That there's no help from the divine.
10.
Blood Spilled to seal the pact. To consummate the fact. That good and evil no longer shall exist The blood is on the sheets And death is in the streets. Humanity is lifeless, and in a fuckin' Hole The one that you have dug. Ingest this perfect drug. What are you gonna do now, you signed the holy Book Written carved in stone The script for life alone. Tearing god down out of the sky. Gonna deflower your fuckin face! Leave your blood all over the place! Consummate this marriage with violence! Rape your head in cold dark silence! Blood will stain the satin sheets! As your heart no longer beats! Marry an enemy you pay the price. Virgin blood of Jesus Christ! Lies! Religion's darkest secret. In their minds they keep it. When the building's made of paper, it's bound to fall straight down. We had no way to know. But lies just grow and grow. Until they're just as plain as the light of Day The day of man is destroyed. And Satan's overjoyed. The celebration starts, as Jesus is defiled. The holy perfect plan. Death of the son of man. God dies and no one cares! It is all over now. The shit is going down. Blood of god is spilled and red. Covering the cities and towns. Like sheets on a wedding night. Discarding wrong and right. The threshold has been crossed. All believers must now fight!
11.
Now, this it is the time. Drink, the cup of sour wine. At the end of forever. Take, this spoiled bread and eat, Wash the decomposing feet, at the end of forever. This is the eve of destruction The night before the wedding, I hope you motherfuckers are ready for this sign, the end of the times, the marriage of sin to sin, seventy four times nine. Built, this pentagram of steel A devil you can feel Crushing what you imagined and what you thought was real. Carry out this penance, carry out your sentence. The world's ending and there's no repentance. I put the hole in holy, make you go roly poly, drinkin the blood of christ just as if it were Stoli. Satan keeps it loose, and Jesus brings the juice. Rockin Golgotha, you reach out and pull a deuce. Pull the fuckin' card. Slam that fucker hard. Burning saints at the stake in my front yard. Heaven is a lie. Heaven is alive. The kingdom of god has failed to thrive. Now it's time to consummate this lie, it's time for god once again to die. Here at Golgotha, the place of the skull. God has to die to save us all.
12.
Still hungover from the celebration, Rockets and wine, dancing and death. Nuclear war just like fireworks, announce a cosmic union with fiery breath. Now our world is a barren wasteland. A radioactive pit of decay. There is a price to pay for this marriage. God has left us with nothing today. Waking to a world left in pieces, making snowmen from the fallout and dust. using real body parts as decoration, A monument that says "In god we trust". And now we lie with our bodies shattered. In pools of flesh and blood that's splattered. Across the rubble of destroyed creation Under god a dying nation. When you think back nothing's really changed here. God is still a god of violence and hate. And when we ponder this whole situation, What kind of god did we create? Now our world is a barren wasteland A radioactive pit of decay. And if our god hates us so much to whom should we now pray?
13.
United front - we stand together, Hardened for battle and tougher than leather. The power to change the world is in our hands. And we will carry out our deadly plans. We will sit and tolerate no longer. And our corps has grown even stronger. If you dare to fight us, you can be my guest. But never forget, you're going up against the best! And you can make a stand. With weapons in your hand. But you will die, of course To the opposing force. The best militia doesn't stand a chance. Our troops are ready, they constantly advance. To crush the believers for once and for all. Not even one of our foes will cause us to fall. Because we've been preparing for this every day. Ever since we were born, things have been this way. We've been waiting our whole lives to make this change. So there is no way that we will lose this exchange. We won't be taking no prisoners. We'll be taking everything that once was yours. Shutting down your church and shutting off your god. Taking control with force by sword and rod. This is the moment we've been waiting for. The wedding gives us a reason for war. With you and and all humanity that doesn't accept. That god is a fake, and all believers are inept. Because their god was shown to be evil. And their reaction was hopeless and feeble. Now we'll crush and conquer and win. And no one else needs to be afraid to sin.
14.
Reason 05:00
Nothing makes sense in this messed up world. After the wedding, the destruction has unfurled. Unleashed by god on his unsuspecting people. And yet they still follow his unique brand of evil. What could be the cause of thier undying faith? Perhaps they just don't wanna admit that its all fake. Now that god's true colors have been seen by all, maybe they'll give it up, maybe this will be the fall? I wanna know what is the reason(for all your faith?) I wanna know why you keep believin'(when god is just a fake) I wanna know if anything could erase(the heaven you try for) I wanna know if anything could replace(the god that you'd die for) How many times has god destroyed the earth? How much more will it take for you to question the worth - Of your faith in the capital G-O-D? Hopefully before the end of all humanity. I knew a long time ago that my life would be better. When I made my own plan and followed that to the letter. I just can't see why we don't give it up. Turn sin into blood and drink it straight by the cup. When they follow their god so blindly. The devil's way is easy to see. And when people are killing you kindly. Full of hate is easy to be. Now it's time for you to make your choice. Jesus or Satan, cast a vote with your voice. A fork in the road, you can go one way or the other. One way leads to pleasure, and to pain leads another. I know exactly which way I'm gonna go, I'll leave the god of suffering alongside of the road. And if you don't agree with the choice that I made, You can suck me off when I'm lying dead in the grave.
15.
Every time someone tells me that I gotta believe. I tell them that I do and they are not deceived. I firmly believe in nothing at all. Nothing is ruler of us all. Nothing created the seas and the skies. Nothing can reach out and answer your cries. Put your faith in the nothing up above. Nothing can bring you hope and love. Faith in nothing. Don't have to believe in something. I'm fucking sure as hell of one thing I put my faith in nothing. (Gotta have faith!) Nothing is my god and lord. All praise to nothing, nothing be adored. Nothing is holy, nothing is true, nothing will tell you what to do. Nothing will give us all we need. And for our sins, nothing will bleed. Whenever we fall, nothing lifts us high. My faith in nothing will never die. What else should I believe? There's nothing I can see. Don't try to subvert me. Nothing is all I see.
16.
Parasites 05:24
The parasites have come to feed upon us all. They drain life giving blood from creatures great and small. They dig their mandibles deep within our minds. They suck out all the life with their mouthparts in our spines. It's time to cleanse the earth of all the parasites. They feast upon our eyes, they take away our sight. The time has come to find and eradicate the leeches. Poison their godly ways with what the devil teaches. Infect the homes and churches of all their colonies. Treat them the same way as the mosquitoes and the fleas. Destroy their deadly swarms Destroy their multitudes. Destroy their hives and nests. Destroy their vicious brood. Pluck off their wings and legs. Pluck off their searching eyes. Pluck off their painful stings. Pluck off their twisted lies. Let us exterminate Let us keep our homes safe. Let us defend and fight. The only thing that's right! It's time to cleanse the earth of all the parasites. See them flap their broken wings as they burn up in the light.
17.
Ready to Die 04:04
Dug deep in my trenches I'm ready to fight. All my foes are dying tonight. The wedding destroyed many, but not all. Any remaining believers are about to fall. Cause I'll be damned if I'm gonna allow. Another day of destruction after right now. All remaining loyalists eliminated. Only then will the true threat have abated. If you're ready to die tonight. Form a line single file, yes that's right child now If you're ready to die tonight. Don't wait for a while, just jump in the pile. If you're not with me I'll assume you're against And there is a bitter consequence For being opposed to a force like me Can only lead to catastrophe for you and anyone that thinks that they can confront And i won't hesitate to kill off a little cunt like you And the cult of christ shall be undone. Right now, you're looking down the barrel of a gun. I'm in a killing mood tonight. I hope that you are ready to end your life. I'm destroying anyone that goes against my plan. To permanently separate god from man. I'm in a killing mood tonight. I hope that you are ready to end your life. And if you aren't, I just don't care. You have till the end of this song to prepare. If the wedding hasn't shown you I'll let you know, That the time has come for your kind to go. Save me the trouble and just kill yourselves. Then you can find out if your heaven and hell are really there as you would like to believe, but don't be surprised if you've been deceived. Don't be surprised if you just find the end. And dust comes to dust all over again. If you're ready to die tonight. It won't be too long, cause by the end of this song. All my enemies will die today. Say so long, and now you're all gone!
18.
It's a shame so many people don't utilize the 14 ounces between their eyes. Instead they conform to the herd mentality. They'd rather dilute their own reality. Well, in this time of stress and strife. It could mean the difference between death and life. For you and the rest of the human race. So use it or lose it, right now in this time and place! It feels so good when you make the right choice. When you finally speak using your own voice. When you tell the world just what to suck. Let your god and your country know you don't give a fuck! Put your neurons to use to fight off the past. Those ancient ideologies just can't last. And if they do, you can be assured. That none of us should ever feel secure. Because we've created deities bent on destruction. Waiting to topple every construction of man, and that's all part of the plan. To crush us just like empty soda cans. There is so much you can die for. What are you living this lie for? There is so much you can cry for. What are you living this lie for? I can't understand and I never will, why people will take this beating sitting still. Let it happen over and over again. While they sit and wait for the son of man. To come flying down out of the clouds. Bringing with him a billion death shrouds. For every man on the face of this world. We can stop this fucking madness before it unfurls.
19.
Sitting there so deaf and so mute. Knowing his faith lies at the very root. Of all the conflict rotting the world. Killing every last little boy and girl. So smugly he just sits and stares. At the sight of the rockets' red glare. And the bombs bursting across the sky. People everywhere will die for the lie. (But) He just sits in his Christ-like silence. As our world is engulfed in violence. Missiles target his other cheek. And still he simply will not speak. People gather in churches to plot and plan. Defend the ancient faith in the son of man. Christian soldiers marching forth to war. With the cross of christ going out before. But one man sits alone in his room. As outside grey clouds of impending doom. Gather up so high in the sky. The man who will not die for the lie. Hot or cold is one thing to be. But the lukewarm are most revolting to me. They will be thrown in gas chambers to die. Because they didn't try to stop the spread of the lie. There are factions for god and factions against. And neither faction does plan to rest. Until opposing factions are destroyed. And only one way of life can be enjoyed. But sadly for this silent man. No matter who wins or loses he only can Expect to be killed for failing to fight. Even those undecided will die tonight. He just sits in his Christ-like silence, and watches as the world is engulfed in violence. But this is not a spectator's game. He'll be tossed into the fire and the flames.
20.
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here. To witness the joining of death and fear. But don't be afraid, it's all just a dream. When you wake up in a cold sweat don't forget to scream. But what if what you saw were to come to pass. And if these hallucinations had to last. You might wanna stay awake just in case. Prepare to fight and defend your base. You believe in the living nightmare. They control you by keeping you scared. Don't be swayed by what you've seen here. It's all a dream to keep you in fear. Laying in bed, you're screaming and shaking. You see your god judge your every waking move. What if they're right, will your actions damn you? Will your god reprimand and slam you? Straight into hell with murderers and thieves, It all depends on just what you believe. But if you wake yourself up from your sleep. You'll find that reality isn't so deep. Row row row your boat, gently down the stream Merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream (scream) Some of us find that we just don't belong. We won't let fear just drag us along. We'll wake up and believe in what is true. No one but us sees the things that we do. We know that hell only exists in our minds. If we let it into our lives. What we've created can be simply destroyed. If only logic and reason are employed.
21.
Feeling forlorned and forgotten In this tired little place. Will I really ever make a difference? Or will I just be disgraced? I wish I knew this change would come even though I can't see it occur. Every day dissolves to another in a dizzy drunken blur. Can't settle for enough. I have to keep it tough. No time to stop and smell the clover. I can't give up and die. I'm aiming towards the sky. Stayin the course till the ride is over. Trying to stay strong inside they need my guiding hand. Even a savior needs a day off a time to sit and plan. To question the entire mission and if it's worth the fight. Figure out just how we will win this, Claim back everything that's right. I really have to stay strong And win this fuckin' fight. I've got to draw a clear line between what's wrong and right. I can't let them take away My right to speak and think. The way I act, and what I express On a ship that's about to sink.
22.
I've got one bullet, in a shiny silver gun. Hiding in the trenches, I know i'll be the one. To assassinate the king, the soiled and sullen lamb. And make an "am not" out of the great "I am". I willingly take the blame, I'd gladly pay the price. To be the chosen one to cause the death of christ. I know the price will be steep, punishment will be fierce. All my bones will be broken, I'll be whipped and shot and pierced. By the remnant faction, that still calls him their savior. But I would gladly die, to save man from grave danger. This will be the great ending, we'll lose two Christs in one day. Sometimes I just wish, it could end some other way. But if this cup can't pass me by I'll take it up and drink. "And one day I may return", I'll tell them with a wink. Now I must take the blame, nothing else will suffice. I must now end man's pain, and cause the death of christ!
23.
Risen 03:34
Once I was nailed up on a cross along with you. The nails and thorns were sharp and they were piercing me straight through. I felt like a son of god the way you left me hanging there. But I guess I had to die to rise and now I just don't fucking care. I've risen up above the shit I've suffered through. i've risen up and now I've even risen over you. I thought i was way up high when you were nailed up beside me. But now i've risen high and there is nothing I can't see. I can see your shallow little world and it's crumbling beneath your lies. I found my salvation in the failure of your life. Did you really think that you could make me bleed? Make me suffer? I admit it was a great attempt to try to pull me under. When you left me up there to die, betcha didn't think i'd rise. Betcha didn't think I'd make a fool of you, bet you're in for a surprise. I've risen high enough to reach out and touch the sky. I've risen high enough to watch you fuckin die!
