1. Almost
I came before you with tight-clenched fists,
Bloodied face and bloodied wrists,
On that night I wish you'd died,
In my place of suicide,
I almost loved you,
You were good,
Somethin' better came along,
Couldn't go,
Together far too long,
It was me,
I was never good enough,
It was you,
You never had time for love,
I came to you with tear-soaked eyes,
I'd been kissed by a last goodbye,
I lost, I loathed, I broke,
If only I'd never awoken,
(I'd not have dealt with you)
I almost loved you,
You were good,
Somethin' better came along,
Couldn't go,
Together far too long,
It was me,
I was never good enough,
It was you,
You never had time for love,
Another page in my book,
You'd never spare a look,
How could you ever forgive me,
For never forgiving you?
I almost loved you,
You were good,
Somethin' better came along,
Couldn't go,
Together far too long,
It was me,
I was never good enough,
It was you,
You never had time for love,
You were good- Not that good,
Couldn't go- Let me go,
It was me- Always me,
It was you- Never you,
I almost loved you
2. The Idol
Confine this god,
Release it again,
With everything you see,
And idolize,
That with no power,
Than what man allows,
That for which you'd die to gain,
Only to carelessly trade it away,
The only thing,
Anyone ever needs,
Has no value, or potential,
They strive for life,
To gain the one god,
That cannot buy out death,
That for which you'd die to gain,
Only to carelessly trade it away,
That for which you'd die to gain,
Only to carelessly trade it away,
For once and then forever,
The god you loved is worthless
3. The Lie
This is my world.
Breathe my existence.
Welcome.
This is the time,
A new Heaven is born,
Hell in disguise,
In a world filled with scorn,
Love is defied,
And God is denied,
Angel fallen,
Angel lied,
Distant existance,
Final resistance,
Obscene,
Treachery unseen,
Contain,
Desire untamed,
Deceit,
Tasteless defeat,
Disgrace,
Sickening waste,
Secret uncovered,
Loss of a soul,
Still there is no one,
Lies still untold,
Hatred born within,
Now trust is unknown,
Center of life redeemed,
Time, rebirth of everything,
Forgiveness comes too easily,
Betrayal returns with no belief,
Justice undone,
Resentment soon comes,
Forgiven again,
A virtue, a curse,
It knows no bound'ries,
You said it was a lie,
You just never knew,
Finally.
It is over.
Redeemed of this suff'ring.
Life begins anew.
4. Osiris
In the eye of Horus,
I conquer all who stand before me,
A mighty temple built to honor the sun,
And though the Nile, our blood,
Runs drier every summer,
I cannot feel the god within me anymore,
Yet when the sun is setting
Anubis rises on the horizon
The sun passes through the depths of hell
And I can no longer hide it
There's no more to me
Than any other man alive
I'm not a god
I'm nothing more than I
A word from Amon-Ra is all
That seperates me from the rest
But that's enough and all who rise
Against me will surely fall
And though the slaves revolt
I refuse to let them go
Another nation fallen to Osiris
Build for me mountains
Made of sandstone
Waste ten thousand lives for a glorified grave
Yet when the sun is setting
Anubis rises on the horizon
The sun passes through the depths of hell
And I can no longer hide it
There's no more to me
Than any other man alive
I'm not a god
I'm nothing more than I
A word from Amon-Ra is all
That seperates me from the rest
But that's enough and all who rise
Against me will surely fall
5. Fogmoon
Slipping
Lost in ancient days
And are we there
Or are we hdden in tomorrow's rain
And the slumber of the blood
In the Fogmoon
The night is coming to its fall
The dreary failures and the love
Of ages gone forever
Revolutions in counterclockwise fury
Kissing the scythe in the field of shadows
Will you reap what lies here?
There is little
But much is coming
Alliances are broken in darkened hearts
Darkened minds, darkened breath
Snow turns crimson on the ground
And the king of the land is lost in antiquity
In the Fogmoon
The night is coming to its dawn
The Lady of the Slain is riding
In a chariot drawn by feline grace
And she sees the passion in mens' eyes
When they look upon the beads of morning dew
In the Fogmoon
The night is coming to a close
6. The Killing Thoughts
Looking deep into reflections, in mirrors on my walls,
No time to sigh these harsh rejections, that wander my mind's halls,
I find myself preoccupied,
With harming rats and snakes,
Slitting throats, and cutting holes,
And bathing in a bloody lake,
Slipping further into the realm of the sorrow halls,
I throw the lifeless corpses down the metal throats that call,
A Voice is picking at my mind,
It's rattling at my soul,
Soon I feel conviction,
Send from God into my own,
Depression overtakes me, and I feel the divine's heart,
It bids me do the world justice and I can do no fault,
I'm ripped into aluminum,
Wondering over blood,
The lamb of god is calling me,
The Goat of Mendes, God,
I plot with manequins from behind the local shop,
Drawing blades from kitchen drawers, the Voice commands me "chop,"
A horrid laceration,
On the rubber flesh below,
The lack of blood just drives me now,
To create a better show
7. The Killing Mind
The vicious sacrifice of a burned and broken soul,
With a bitter aftertaste of blood, no one needs to know,
She told me once too many,
And she failed me every time,
But now the dagger tastes her heart,
Her time has come to die,
Betrayal!
Loss of life,
Fatal,
Traitor dies,
Never,
You are gone,
Forever,
I shall suffer,
Paranoia setting in, what if the neighbor knows?
I'll take the dagger once again, his body shall grow cold,
No one can discover,
This horrible thing I've done,
If he knows he'll die with his wife, and then his son,
I creep into their home, that very night, their lives to end,
I've sinned this once before, what could it cost to sin again?
I slip into the bedroom,
Drive the knife into their hearts,
No one must discover this damned thing that I have done,
Now I realize that someone else knows,
I look into the mirror, he's seen all through his eyes so cold,
I take the knife again,
I put it down, it shall not do,
I pick up the unused gun, this life to end
8. The Killing Voice
They found my lying on the floor in a puddle by my bed,
The blood of four on my hands, and a bullet in my head,
I lay with broken conscience,
Broken mind and broken soul,
Now I know I failed the Voice,
There's still someone who knows,
Angel of Judgement in my mind, it takes complete control,
Underneath the O.R.'s lights, lobotomizing probe,
Cuts into cerebral tissue,
Severing my thoughts,
New hatred burning deep inside,
There's new wars to be fought,
Surgery complete, they decide I'm to stand trial,
There's four suspicious murders, the Voice makes me scream denial,
The gavel bangs for silence,
They say it's justice done,
I'm sentenced 4 trips to the chair,
For lover, husband, wife and son,
Angel turns to demon as they strap my feet and hands,
As they prepare to pull the switch, I fight against the bands,
The bolts of electricity,
Surge through my dying self,
This is how I pay for sin,
Damned to death and hell
