1. Never To Betray
Betrayal, Why would you deceive ? I refuse to deal out but again I receive The destruction and hate felt within So now my healing will again begin
Now I can see, you’re so cold inside How can you sleep at night, knowing the others you’ve cast aside ? I looked in your eyes, never realised That every word spoken was based on your lies
Pre-Chorus
It’s time to end the day The past is not the way
Chorus
Now I can see, there’s no sympathy Just turn and walk cause there’s nothing to say Now I can see, no pride or loyalty Thats why I swore never to betray
Denial, because I thought I knew But there must be something I don’t understand inside of you Trust no one, it’s not how it should be I thought I could see, but something’s blinding me
A bruised fist, it’s hard to resist but it wont ever clear this scarlet mist But now I have Descent, to ease my pain to vent my rage, to break this chain
Pre-Chorus
What I feel, seems so real Hard to understand, nothing’s in my hand
Middle section
I lost respect when you broke the trust The words not spoken by the ones you’ve crushed Well, that was me, I was a broken man So I figure now i’ll take a stand Now the choice is mine, so what should I do ? I can fight against or become like you But being bitter and twisted’s never been my way So i’ll swear to myself, never to betray
2. Victim
I’m not a product, I’m a victim of this world
Promised salvation No confrontation
But as life tears apart and you see inside A violent reality, that the weak confide And need a belief to dilute their fears A pervese injustice, divinated ideas I can’t understand your traditional vows And only living life as god allows Only I can see the symbiotic state Only I can see that there is no fate
CHORUS
Promises made, Nothing is found Bleakness in vain, Breaking me down Feel incomplete, still nothing is found Numbers deplete, I wont bow down
I’m not a product, I’m a victim of this world
Seeking a cure Found something impure
A world within a world of greed and lust brandishing the sign that in god you trust You deny reality, can’t face the day Don’t want to lose faith so you look away A lifeless existence, they manipulate An ignorant path leading to a locked gate Your life is slipping but you wont admit Can’t see beyond your cocoon of shit
I’m not a product, I’m a victim of this.................World
3. A Darkened Light
God damn, the pain that bleeds through my eyes, A window to my soul where others pain still lies, A world of emptiness looking for meanings, In the outside world with its religious leanings, But if there’s someone above then they’re not looking on, Because the people struck down have done nothing wrong. Weakened inside, what a price to pay, They owe you nothing yet are paying everyday.
Pre-Chorus
No one deserves this, no fucking way I’d rather suffer myself, I’d swap any fucking day
CHORUS
Now it’s time to find another cure, The strength inside you that keeps you pure I wont be blind, I wont be numb I wont deny what this worlds become
I’ve always believed, and i’ve always held true That there’s some kind of justice in all that we do, But I don't know anymore, I see with my own eyes The ones I care for and the ones I despise
Pre-Chorus
And it’s no surprise which ones are pain I’ll never accept it but it’s always the same
CHORUS
Now it’s time to find another cure, The strength inside you that keeps you pure I wont be blind, I wont be numb I wont deny what this worlds become
MIDDLE
I now can see, and hope to understand what’s made you free, despite this broken land The walls, built through the years The heartfelt honesty, forget the fears A darkened soul, the shadow’s cast but this solitude, I pray wont last I’ve lost my faith, I have no belief In a world, full of hate and grief.
