FATAL INFLUENCE LYRICS
"World unbalanced" (1998 EP)
1. Darkness (Red death)
2. Shades of grey
3. Visions of decay
4. Infanticide
1. Darkness (Red death)
The blood rains down, in the land of the dead
The visible darkness, where angels dare to tread
A disease of the masses, the inherent decay
Language of the devil, our faith dissolved in misery
CHORUS:
The plague is killing one by one
Infecting the core of our faith
The true beginning of our end
As the chimes of the clock resonate
We dance alone in the darkest room
Where life and death are jest
Now your minions fall to me
In darkness, red death
Condemned to kill time, thus we die every minute
The pendulum swings in rhythmic disdain
Our hopeless quest to defy mortality
Bereft of all doubt, our haven becomes our tomb
-CHORUS-
Deliver us from evil, nameless here for evermore
The malevolent presence of the wretch we created
In the mouth of madness, black chaos comes again
As the crimson sky forms the means to our end
-CHORUS-
2. Shades of grey
The memory burns in my mind, the question of existence
The fear that comes with mortality, the fear we can't defeat
Death casts a dark shadow, how easily we forget
Killing time and all eternity, we somehow live to regret
Disinterest, Contempt, and Inertia, the mechanics of extinction
The scars that mark our conflicts increase with our attrition
They say there's strength in numbers
But unfortunately we can't count
We all drink the poison that seethes in our veins
CHORUS:
Apathy is the solution
Existing where hope is lost
The hands of all that hate us
Composing our holocaust
Preparing for tomorrow's ruin
Slowly the balance decays
From my space in time, I can see the end
A shadow, among shades of grey
The desire has exceeded the means
The means have exceeded the reason
Linked by ignorance, nothing is sacred
The chain of mediocrity has begun
The sands fall through our fingers
Yet we don't close our hands
In a spectrum so broad, All we see is grey
Our technology has surpassed our humanity
As the futility of life prevails
Do we begin the draw to our end?
Answer the question, Question the answer
All that's left to say, is better left unsaid
The virus becomes our curse, consuming the final hope
The corpses of an era descend upon obscure
Forgotten, forsaken, fallen from grace
When did we surrender?
-CHORUS-
3. Visions of decay
Decay of life, before these eyes
The bearer of all death
Decades pass, at a minute's pace
For as it seems with every breath
Accursed from birth, with these visions of end
A life of tortury
I see all age, before their time
All restrictions cease to be
CHORUS:
Confined within the sands of hour
Staring down the eyes in the face of death
Bearing witness as all time devours
Through frozen eyes that never rest
All remorse, long forgotten
Through relentless, altered state
The deadly taste of time's affliction
Within these visions of decay
With dawn's arise, its piercing light
Only reveals such cruel nature
Reflections of all dying life
Silent mirrors speak only truth
For the scars of death, which adorn the mind
Mar the face of sanity
To blindly stare upon a world
Through ulcerating cavities
-CHORUS-
Beneath the wind, hell's cascading darkness
Where I'm forced to subside
Fight to endure, demons subconscious
Scarring of a forgotten time
Ironically, it's stated "Time heals all"
Although it consumes the essence of all life
So live each day, as it be your last
Your next dusk may mean eternal night
-CHORUS-
4. Infanticide
Diseased generation, infected by itself
Controlled evolution for the one within yourself
Mass annihilation of a burden unaware
Imprecated deaths to the child that you bear
CHORUS:
Procreate
Impregnate with shame
Degenerate
The one yet unnamed
Desiccate
The breath of my being
Suffocate
Life with deceit
Perpetuate
An unknown fate
Desecrate
Abolish the sacrament
Eliminate
Cast from a world of living inside
Condemned to a death by a camouflaged crime
Imprisoned by youth, death is my guide
Remnant of life, infanticide
What then remains, but that we should still cry
For being born, and being born to die
-CHORUS-
Tread softly, for an angel band
Doth guard this silent dust
The forgotten soul now wanders free
Forever in their trust
Doomed to death, though fated not to die
Descendent of silence, I scream the unheard cry
Irreverent conception, drawing one last breath
Problem resolved by an influential death
-CHORUS-
