1. Hedonist
So it seems that weve lost ourselves,
So immersed in our own decadence,
We have dug our own graves.
Ambition clouds our true loves,
Unwanted wants become our gods,
And we cant get enough,
Why! Are! We so in love with ourselves?
So you take all that can be taken,
So you take your time here for granted
And so you waste
Second verse is same as the first,
As each generation repeats the last,
We still dig our own graves,
Thus our fate is whats innate,
To deny is to deny our grave,
But we just cant resist,
How! Did! It all come to this?
Caught in the ecstasy of living for one,
And were so weak and so blind,
Were losing ourselves inside,
Forgetting the meaning of what life used to be.
And so you waste your life for possessions,
So you take all that can be taken,
Hedonist! Only a god could love you,
So live it up, for you're dead inside
So you take all that can be taken,
So you take your time here for granted,
And so you waste
Caught in the ecstasy of living for one,
Our time is too precious to live for ourselves!
And were so weak and so blind,
Were losing ourselves inside,
Forgetting the meaning of what life used to be,
And were so weak and were so blind and,
And were so weak and were so blind and...
2. The Grand Mistake
Behold, my enlightenment,
To your rhetoric,
And in retrospect,
I say bestow a new Testament,
Based on Evidence,
So that the fears of man,
May be justified.
And so, where do we go from here?
Shall we live in fear,
While these puppeteers
Run our lives.
And all that god has done,
Is what you’ve done for you,
And god will forever be,
The chosen image of our time.
Behold, my enlightenment,
And I say behold a new society,
And I say behold the greatest lie of man.
And all that god has done,
Is what you’ve done for you,
And god will forever be,
The chosen image.
And I say behold my enlightenment,
And I say behold a new society,
And I say behold the greatest lie of man,
And behold its end in me!
And I say behold our Grand Mistake!
3. By Apathy Undone
Seeing the evil of man you have followed suit
Succumbing to temptation and mediocrity
Society everywhere is in conspiracy
Against the manhood of every one of us
With highs so high that we've
Forgotten what is low
With highs so high that we've
Forgotten
And there in the sunset goes another friend
Lost to apathy and circumstance
And with a passing glance he embraces
Regret as a colder soul, welcomes him home
These are not the times that try these mens' souls
For here the meek are the kings, are the kings of old
With highs so high that we've
Forgotten what is low
With highs so high that we've
Forgotten low
Hear me now
(You wont)
Start again
(You wont)
Rethink your path
(You wont)
Save yourself!
Take command
(You wont)
Make amends
(You wont)
Live your life
(You wont)
Free again!
And there in the sunset is another friend
Lost to apathy and circumstance
And so with ease, thus came our sloth
So welcome to the thought holocaust
Fuck You!
You simpleton!
Perpetuator of your own misery
Fuck You!
And your god!
How arrogant to think you know of such
And with a passing glance he embraces
Regret as a colder soul, welcomes him home
These are not the times that try mens' souls
For here the meek are the Kings!
And so with ease, thus came our sloth
So welcome to...
4. Heir to a Broken Man
