1. Takers and Betrayers
1. TAKERS AND BETRAYERS
Oh tomorrow is just another chance
Another undefended yesterday
To regret nothing, it's not permitted
The proud don't make mistakes
This throne is infallible, self-appointed fate
Out to break the non-believers, dissension is heresy
They'll bury your soul
The Takers and Betrayers upon a tarnished throne
Lock yourself away, from the blind who lead the blind
The Takers and Betrayers of mankind
Blackmail indoctrination, manifest the hate
Sow shut the mouths of those who seek the truth
What you seek is not for you to question
Your doubts ring treasonous
Corrupt, insurmountable, naught to do but join us
[LEAD - W.D.]
[LEAD - J.D.]
Out to break the non-believer
Those who dare to defy our heresy
2. Whores of Mammon
2. WHORES OF MAMMON
As the pigs dine on the flesh of the blind
Meat devoid of mind
Illusions charming the little ones
Replacing thought with greed
Erase the threat of dreams
Seeds of greed sown for wicked whores of avarice
Corruption at the altar of the corporations power game
Of occulted reign
The Whores of Mammon
Of the holy dollar divine
All that suffers is good as gold, blessed are the weak
Whose pain sustains the nobility
The Whores of Mammon
Avarice enshrined
Disciples of the money god
Of the holy dollar divine
[LEAD - J.D.]
[LEAD - W.D.]
[HARMONY LEAD - W.D./J.D.]
[LEAD - J.D.]
Sacrifice humanity at the altar of the holy dollar divine
3. Prophecy of the Last Deceiver
3. PROPHECY OF THE LAST DECEIVER
Long ago there came a man
Who claimed to foresee time
Then from his vision came a spell
That made believers blind
So it has been written, so it must be done
We bleed as one in the
Prophecy of the Last Deceiver
If we are blind then who will see through the prophecy
Of the last deceiver
From time immemorable
The immemorable seek their glory from
Forsaken fables, for the lost to further lose their way
So it has been written, something must be done
[LEAD - W.D.]
[LEAD - J.D.]
So it has been written, what have we become
Bleed as one for the last deceiver
[OUTRO MELODY - W.D.]
4. Machinatus Deitas
4. MACHINATUS DEITAS
Sanctifying prophecy to ease our helpless lives
Lost without the promises of destiny's watchful eye
Fearful of the thought that we are all on our own
Nothing there to keep us from Chaos
The great unknown
[MELODY - J.D.]
Sometimes the chosen ones can waste your soul away
To listen, and not be heard
Their shallow vision is your grave
Playing on our superstition, walking on a trust betrayed
We never, understand
Simple reasons placate the enslaved
We are the chosen, fallen from grace
Judgement confines us, born to be ashamed
Reinvent indoctrination, shape the past to rule today
In shadows, pulling strings
Lucid vision complicates the scheme
We are the chosen, fallen from grace
Judgement confines us, born to be ashamed
Sanctify the unknowable, bending our will
Machinatus Deitas, orchestrate the all
[LEAD - J.D.]
Condemned to live in shame and never know the ones to blame
Things are not what they seem, imperfection unforeseen
And once we're whole again we'll never see the fear again
Sands through the hourglass, deliverance comes to pass
[LEAD - W.D.]
5. Chaos Architect
5. CHAOS ARCHITECT
Solace found in promises, promises made by fools
In this void, illusions, they shadow my every move
[MELODY - W.D.]
Corrupt thoughts betray my mind
Illusions that never fade
In this void, confusion assaults me at every turn
Can the will of good men keep the darkness at bay
Does the light burn your eyes, burn your eyes
Burn your eyes away
Perception, reality overruled
Architect of Chaos, lord of fools
Cast a veil over my sight and make the darkness
Seem as light, light fades away the light will betray
[MELODY / LEAD - J.D.]
Their light will betray
6. The Hive
6. THE HIVE
Falling into place as a soldier of conformity
Assimilate yourself, another bringer of the
Great deception
Fighting to protect, the lies around you
Illusions of control, they weaved around you
Mesmerizing disgrace, pacified through degradation
Humiliation's the stage, dominated by the ignorance
Possess the innocent
The circle never ends. The game, it now begins
Misled into the Hive
The phantom strings in play
The machine, weaves the slave
Waiting for your fate, oblivious as they cull the herd
Perpetuate the mistakes, age old tactics of subversion
[LEAD - J.D.]
[LEAD - W.D.]
Illusions of control, they weaved around you
Fighting for your soul, now they have come for you
Absorb into the all
7. Masquerade of Sanity
7. MASQUERADE OF SANITY
As the sun rolls off to die another worthless
Yesterday goes by
Lost to the night
Callousness betrays all sympathy
As another priceless soul gets thrown aside
Never looking back, to terrified to see
No one's there to catch us when we fall
Catch us when we fall
Behind fragmented faces lies the masquerade
Oh, how we blur the lines
Staring back to see our reality
A Masquerade of Sanity
[LEAD - W.D.]
[LEAD - J.D.]
As the world left them to die, false innocence has
Burned away their eyes
No compromises
For the ones who dwell in apathy
As awakened conscience seeks understanding
Never looking back, too terrified of what you see
Everyone's there to watch you when you fall
Laughing as you fall
8. Sins of Old
8. SINS OF OLD
Purify the sins of old, the key lies in their sorrow
Sanctified, but the lies unfold
And your sins are sins no more
Civilized life deception
Lost minds that never try to see
Corrupt society, lives in agony
Silence fills their hearts and minds
Through shallow vision all hope shall be denied
And all that's left as our lives decay
Is the seed of another day
[LEAD - J.D.]
Civilized life deception
Perpetuate things that should not be
As our society, burns in secrecy
9. The Coming Storm
9. THE COMING STORM
Inherit the fires light and watch it fade
Stand down and take a look at the ashes gray
Now we understand, we were led astray
All but none left to fight
The abyss of darkness paints their faces
Can the ages remain undone
Centuries of thought are gone
Bled away, into the pool of oblivion
Wash away, the legacy that is our freedom
We shall defy this tyranny
We shall awaken our world to see
Arise
[LEAD - J.D.]
I see clearly the fate of those who came before
Hiding in shadows, lost inside this
Calm before the storm
The Coming Storm
Justify the secrets
Remnants untold of the life you would deny us
Hollow lives forever more
Nothing left but for us to take this road forgotten
Time to take our humanity from those who take it away
I see clearly the fate of those who came before
Controlled through the answers
To the question we never thought to ask
[LEAD - J.D.]
10. Fallen Sanctuary
10. FALLEN SANCTUARY
As we watch, as we fail to see
Changes come, forever neverending
As we listen, we choose not to hear
Vacant hearts who purify complacency and fear
Thought bestows you free will that none can fight
Immune to wrath from blinded minds
As they slumber, as they fade away
Our memories burn
And shine upon this tarnished kingdom still
What once was whole shall be again
Fallen Sanctuary, immortalized
Nothing is in vain, no this is not the end
Proud to stand alone, locked inside a heart of stone
Life is just a stage, where we can choose our part
And leave the fools behind
Born of fire my wrath aligns
Can't you see, hollow lives lived in hypocrisy
Can't you see, through the cracks in this fallacy
And slip through the lines
Conceived of wrath, reborn in fire
Fallen Sanctuary, awake the new beginning
