1. Live to Die
I wanted to believe hope would survive
even as it’s noose was being tied
I never questioned the fact that we’d be saved
And we never looked back as we dug it’s grave
When the Angels spiralled to the ground
I just close my eyes and I never looked down
and I didn’t feel a thing just like you said
as you all held the gun to my head
It goes away when you lean on a crutch
Can’t feel a thing, but the pain’s too much
Walking suicide, chemically numb
Why can’t I be like everyone?
Stigmata wounds created by the words that I said
That ringing in my ears is just the bullet in my head
Shut your mouth, open your eyes and see what truth you find
The knife in your back will get you every time
My only purpose is complacent existence
My only flaw is persistent resistance
Close your eyes and the doubt will subside
I hate this world, I live to die
Justice got its eyes back
so the truth no longer saves
but everyone will turn away
as long as they get paid
the sheep line up for slaughter
never questioning the way
because the past is self-contained
in what happened yesterday
My only purpose is complacent existence
My only flaw is persistent resistance
Close your eyes and the doubt will subside
I hate this world, I live to die
Stigmata wounds created by the words that I said
That ringing in my ears is just the bullet in my head
Shut your mouth, open your eyes and see what truth you find
The knife in your back will get you every time
2. Perfect Plastic World
I am nothing to anyone
Who I am has left me scarred too long
A twisted deformity in a Perfect Plastic World
How can I go on now that everything is wrong?
Hopeless, Defenseless, Lifeless
Nothing means a thing
when you hate what you’ve become
because no one ever changes
everyone just runs
Youth is wasted on the young
when they’re broken inside
Because the day you choose to live
may be the day you finally die
Today I was crucified
A perfect example of hope denied
Burned all my bridges, I stand alone
Not without sin, but I’ll cast the stone
Choke it back, Take it back, Force it back now
Nothing means a thing
when you hate what you’ve become
because no one ever changes
everyone just runs
Youth is wasted on the young
when they’re broken inside
Because the day you choose to live
may be the day you finally die
3. Hopelessly Stained
I remember him smiling when he finally lost his soul
Outside he looked so alive, but inside he went so cold
He used to watch the rest and say “That I’ll never be”
But in time we all bow down to the vampire we feed
Watch the blood flow from the wound
Follow the stream towards your tomb
Blind your eyes to the sins around
You could save your soul, but your hands are bound
Watch the seed grow from the womb
to fuel the flames which bring our doom
Close your heart to the pain around
You could save the world, but your soul is bound
And as he choked on the debris
the flames burnt all they could
and he pretended he couldn’t see
the ruins on which he stood
Watch the blood flow from the wound
Follow the stream towards your tomb
Blind your eyes to the sins around
You could save your soul, but your hands are bound
Watch the seed grow from the womb
to fuel the flames which bring our doom
Close your heart to the pain around
You could save the world, but your soul is bound
You can have your innocence, but keep it out of sight
You can lie to yourself if it will get you through the night
Watch us desecrate the land on which the lamb was slain
You can cleanse you wounds, but you’re still hopelessly stained
No joy, No love, No hope
as we choked at the end of our rope
Familiarity breeds fear of unknown
So we choke back the flesh and we puke up the bones
No longer eyes to see
No longer a heart to feel
No longer a choice to make
We raped the seventh seal
Watch the blood flow from the wound
Follow the stream towards your tomb
Blind your eyes to the sins around
You could save your soul, but your hands are bound
Watch the seed grow from the womb
to fuel the flames which bring our doom
Close your heart to the pain around
You could save the world, but your soul is bound
You can have your innocence, but keep it out of sight
You can lie to yourself if it will get you through the night
Watch the vultures raped the light devine
If you’re waiting to be saved then get in line
No joy, No love, No hope
as we choked at the end of our rope
We all sit idly by
as we watch a world wide suicide
Our world killed itself
Our world is dying, our world is dead
4. Cancer of the Soul
You’ve always had your reasons
but now you’ve gone to far
So spare me all your speeches
and dance like the puppet you are
No strength in your convictions
Learned to fit in the mold
no worry or consequences
but if you open your eyes, you’re being controlled
A beacon of indifference in a sea of apathy
a shiny plastic smile is all that there’s left to see
Compassion lost it’s hold
Rotten, black and cold
Cancer of the Soul
You sacrificed yourself
to a life of emptiness
but every soul you’ve broken
hath only bore you this
The gun was in your mouth
but you just couldn’t shoot
This was the way you planned
but something here does not compute
Our wings are clipped, our eyes are shut
So we can never fly
We dangle on our puppet strings
until we learn to die
Compassion lost it’s hold
Rotten, black and cold
Cancer of the Soul
All is well that does end well
so one can never tell
So we smile, single file
and march right down to hell
Compassion lost it’s hold
Rotten, black and cold
Cancer of the Soul
5. A World in Ruins
So this is where hope comes to die
Beaten and broken, never to rise
No graceful exit, no final bow
If the world's gone to Hell
We'll burn it down
So this will be the last move I ever make
and if you hear this words, then it's too late
I'm a martyr with nothing to die for
Except to save me from the world outside
So with these words I bid you farewell
Climb on my cross and die
So this is what we've become
Look at this world, what have we done?
At a time we had it all
Now we wait to watch the fall
So this will be the last move I ever make
and if you hear this words, then it's too late
I'm a martyr with nothing to die for
Except to save me from the world outside
So with these words I bid you farewell
Climb on my cross and die
I'm a martyr with nothing to die for
On this cross my last words are said
Nothing here will change without me
'Cause we're already dead
6. Self Made Martyr
So this is where hope comes to die
Beaten and broken, never to rise
No graceful exit, no final bow
If the world's gone to Hell
We'll burn it down
So this will be the last move I ever make
and if you hear this words, then it's too late
I'm a martyr with nothing to die for
Except to save me from the world outside
So with these words I bid you farewell
Climb on my cross and die
So this is what we've become
Look at this world, what have we done?
At a time we had it all
Now we wait to watch the fall
So this will be the last move I ever make
and if you hear this words, then it's too late
I'm a martyr with nothing to die for
Except to save me from the world outside
So with these words I bid you farewell
Climb on my cross and die
I'm a martyr with nothing to die for
On this cross my last words are said
Nothing here will change without me
'Cause we're already dead
