Pestilence Prevails
07:21
|
|||
|
VERSE
Pestilence prevails
Bleakness consumed
The most sickening memories exhumed
Demons come
Never go
My life
Away I throw!
CHORUS
Fate wraps it’s thorns around my neck,
Faith stabs it’s horns into my back! (2)
VERSE
A life worth losing
A mind worth concealing
Torn apart
By this wretched feeling
Death, I yearn for
Bittersweet pity
I earn of course
CHORUS
Fate wraps it’s thorns around my neck,
Faith stabs it’s horns into my back! (2)
VERSE
Weak, feeble and dying
Dead, crying and lying
I scream in pain
All suffering in vain
A blade offers temporary release
But still this pain won’t cease
BRIDGE
But still I endure this mountain of mournfulness
But still I carry on through this desert of sorrows
For my time is not now
Though I yearn for it to be
Finally through blackened eyes I see.
CHORUS
Fate wraps it’s thorns around my neck,
Faith stabs it’s horns into my back! (2)

Ruin Without Reason
10:18
|
|||
|
CHORUS
Psychopathic
Apathetic
My hatred
It is pathetic
This depravity
Why can’t I just forget it?
VERSE 1
Lies
Something inside always dies
This menace I despise
I hate without object
I ruin without reason
To myself I commit treason
VERSE 2
Cries
In vain
For an ending to this pain
Why does death always rain?
Full of sickness and distain
Life gives me nothing to gain
My life is without aim
|
||||
3. |
||||
|
Chorus
My hate of life is tangible
My disgust for myself is valuable
My distain is all but manageable
Verse 1
My actions are surely justified by the punishment I inflict upon myself?
For a feeling of lesser guilt I risk life and health!
Both just as worthless as empty wealth
Oh I am my hollow, pathetic self!
Verse 2
Shallow gestures of good will
Make up for the happiness of others
Which I kill
Self-loathing
Suicide is all-knowing
My feelings do all to avoid showing
My life would make a tragic poem
Bridge
Pathetic!
This state
It is me I truly hate

Murderers Are Heroes
05:48
|
|||
|
Murderers Are Heroes
Murderers are heroes
Victims are worthless
But if one of our own is so tragically killed
They become a martyr
God is an all-american patriot!
Satan wears a burka
Dead soldiers in the headlines
But only the ones that matter
Innocent children deserve death for being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Killed by mindless machines!
I want you... to kill them all!
I want you... to make us gods!
I want you... to make me rich!
Leaders hide away from danger
Controlling their patriotic puppets
Use fear as a weapon
Not against the enemy
But against the public
You will obey because you are afraid!

As I Fell From Heaven
09:10
|
|||
|
CHORUS
As I fell from heaven I caught my wrist on a razor
As I fell from heaven I begged for the light to be clearer
VERSE 1
Decrepit birth
Northing of worth
I cannot live
Something must give
I cannot live
VERSE 2
I do not live
I simply survive
I have died
Fate has lied
Nothing is clear
The end isn’t near
Nothing is clear
VERSE 3
Demons in my head
By them I am lead
Nothing new is said
I’m better left for dead
Nothing new is said
BRIDGE
Death shall be the reward I receive
This sorrow
Nothing can relieve
All I can do is bleed
|

Verse 1
Trapped by bars
Put there by myself
Relying of worthless wealth
To blame I only have myself
Hatred of the earth
Jealousy of worth
My death was constructed by only one perpetrator
Me!
Chorus
Imprisoned by a device of my own construction
Dedicated to decay and disruption
Make your own assumption
Verse 2
I may deserve this
I might of earnt this
Betrayed by life
Led to the knife
The end is not nigh
Yet I have already died
To many I have lied
But only to myself I have died
