1. Guilt Is Your Sin
Gazing into the winter's lake
My reflection speaks to me
Telling the world's secrets
Releasing the fire within my dreams
I can feel the power in me taking over
Chorus:
Unto this world I’m born
A man without a soul
To your god I will not pray
I’ll stand unto my dying day
The lies within your dreams
Shape your reality
You pray for repent
But your guilt is your sin
The sun sets upon my back
The diamonds dance to life
Pulling me towards its beauty
Your god's idols I cast aside
Heaven is in your mind
And hell is in your fears
Chorus
Look to your desires to find a bit of truth
Listen to the night and touch the wisdom of the moon
Visions talk to me in ancient rhymes
Time will tell what answers lie ahead for me
I look toward the unknown and find obscurity
The darkness blankets me
And holds me through the night
Kneel and pray to find what you're looking for
And the answers will pass you by as you worship the floor
I can feel the tears falling all around me
I can feel the pain of the angels falling into the fire
Rising from my knees I look towards the sky
I call out to your dead martyr
You cannot take me I will not die
The jackal and the shepherd fight for my dreams
Chorus
2. Lift The Veil
Walking the thin line
Between life and death
To separate the moon and sun
I am the gray between light and day
PRE-CHORUS:
Save me, save me from the demons
Save me, save me from the angels
Save me before they are all I can be
Melting away my soul
My flesh returns, returning here as whole
My faith in myself
My logic takes control
CHORUS:
Man’s creation God
Time to turn the page
Lift the veil from your eyes
The Millennial Death of God
Question your beliefs
Lift the veil from your eyes
Kneeling to no one I take the reigns
Pulling in the night and day
Master of the tides my ship sails away
PRE-CHORUS
Looking within myself I find strength
The strength of the Gods
The stars speak to me and I rule the day
CHORUS
Walking the thin line
Between life and death
To separate the moon and sun
I am the gray between light and day
PRE-CHORUS
Learning to hide between the sun and moon
Breathing the clouds of gray
The Gods run from me and demons fall away
CHORUS
3. Meaningless
4. Hollow
In the light I can see it
A shred of me I cannot reach
All the dreams that I have tasted
Shattered before my very eyes
Chorus:
Through the lies of yesterday
I see my future, a hollow void
Chasing the invisible me
Running from what I can’t be
Nowhere I can go
Will take me from this pain I know
Chorus
Walking through the realms of light and dark
I find that I am alone, all alone
Dripping into the pool of lies
Falling towards my demise
Through hell I spin
Screaming for the end
Chorus
Looking at my reflection I find a stranger’s face
Confusion sets in as I hang my head in shame
Always the disappointment pain my constant friend
No one can understand me
And when I reach for god he’s not there
The years have weathered upon me I don’t know my name
Mistakes pile upon me giving me all the blame
Curse me, burn me, it’s what I deserve
A man alone in this realm with nowhere to turn
I can’t live in this realm with what I have done
It’s time to pass into hell and pay for what I have become
You can’t love me I won’t let you in
Falling faster pity my only friend
The gun to my head now, taste my last sin
Cursing God as I fall into hell
Curse me, burn me, it’s what I deserve
5. Carried On Black Angel Wings
In the shadows I await the coming sign
Moving slowly swallowing all the light
Riding on the weak feeding the blind
My lies of the coming sign
From my lair I feed the sight
Of broken bodies laying in the night
From my throne I speak these things
The evil that the serpent brings
Chorus:
The sacrifice begins tonight take heed see the sign
Our god brings release tonight
So on his wings we fly
Carried forth on black angel wings
My praise to hell I sing
In the night I see the light come with me and feel the sign
Chorus
Step into the circle feel the power flow
You fool you come to me with all your pride
Come with me now and feel your demise
I feel the power pouring through my veins
Immortal I will become to rule forever
You’ve fallen through your greed and desire
Burn in hell forever you will be my prize
I feel the pain of a thousand sins
Tare me down to the end
6. No Peace
I can feel it coursing through me
My body heaving for a taste of air
My mind ripped open to a new reality
Everything escapes me in this spell
The walls closing around me
My bliss, my cell
Chorus:
In the night when I call out
In my dreams
There's never a fuckin' answer
There's never any fuckin' peace
The demons that posses me
Promise ecstasy
The monkey on my back
Waits for his attack
Stumbling through my days
My body craving the decay
Chorus
In the darkness alone I lie
I sit waiting for something real
Lying on the floor with my head
Spinning all around my heart beating
The only sound
I raise my head and fall again
My eyes blank to the world around me
Reaching in but no one's there
7. Live The Lie
Running you will find you are mine
To live all your life as a lie
You can't run you cannot hide from me
I'm the one who controls your destiny
In the darkness I will wait for you
Twisting your mind until you know no truth
Running you will find you are mine
To live all your life as a lie
Hate is what I breed in you
Loathe yourself kill the truth
Come with me I can take your pain
Forever you will be my slave
You will live the lie as I see fit
In the darkness you will find
You are mine-until the end of time
Forever until death takes your soul
It’s what you will be
It’s all that you can see
It is me, It is your destiny
You will live the lie as I see fit
8. Truth
You are blinded, blinded by your greed
Your eyes green with envy
Your disease will rot this earth, and you will live its curse
Chorus:
The end will come for you
Now taste the truth
You lie to all around you
Just to move forward in your world
But when you crossed paths with me
You brought death unto your soul
Chorus
Friendship a thing of the past
Yourself you’ve outcast
Two faces to everyone you know
No conscience, no self, no sorrow
You’d sell your mother for a fuckin’ dollar
Everyone you know used to the bone
Chorus
You stepped on me
Now you’ll bleed
I’ll squeeze your throat
Now taste the truth
Now you know how far you can go
A snake in the grass sliding from the past
Into my path you have passed
When we meet you won’t, you won’t last
Chorus
You drove the knife into my back - now you run from my attack
My fist the bat your face the ball - the concrete will stop your fall
No one can save you now - through you I will plow
Time to pay my friend - violent answers violent ends
9. The Search
Days and nights growing shorter, my mind’s going
I can barely remember how this all began
My chains grow heavier my cell colder as they bring me to the end
I’ll burn for their eyes for their god
Heretic, that’s what they called me
I spoke the unholy truth
Cast out for what I was believed to be
Sinner, I pay the price burn in the pyre of their god
Chorus:
I searched my whole life for the truth, and I know it lies in the earth
And not in your god, and not in your words
Blasphemy that’s what they called it
I rose the veil of disguise
Unholy they burn the words of the Greeks and Islams
Inquisitions, crusades force the people to believe
Chorus
Days and nights growing shorter, my minds going
I can barely remember how this all began
Vultures circle walking me to the end
Stones cast by puppets and sheep
My last steps prepare me for the end
Liars hold tight your crosses keep your eyes closed
Devils in disguise keep the people blind and low
Burn my flesh, my mind will be free forever
Chorus
Days and nights growing shorter, my mind’s going
I can barely remember how this all began
