"Promo 2003" (2003 Demo)
1. Blinded By Faith
2. Silence Sweeps
1. Blinded By Faith
Here we are again
Back where we started
Nothing will ever change
I won't let go of my hate
My rage consumes me
The anger grows within
No matter how I try
I cannot make you see
You're so fucking blind
Ignore what you don't like
Go ahead and close your eyes
So you don't have to feel
You follow without question
No thought allowed here
Can't you see you have no soul?
Don't you feel empty inside
So many people are dying
Fighting for the belief
The belief is just a lie
Another reason to kill
Mad men kill thousands
Slain men lay to rot
Your conscience is clear
It's all in the name of your god
Kill your god follow your heart
Think for yourself your life is yours
For so long now
Since the dawn of time
The scared masses
Have followed the light
All for the promise
Of eternal life
I can't help but feel
Just a little violated
You meekly do gods will
What about what's best for you
You deserve your own opinion
God is speaking through your mouth
Reason for his decline
No longer do we cower
We think for ourselves
We decide our own truth
Wear your mask
To hide your shame
Your eyes show through
As does your pain
In this time and place
Where all hope is gone
You will try to find
Something to hold on
There's no need to slave
To words of confusion
Believe in what's inside of you
Who takes your pain?
Wraps it in shame
Spewing word of hate and punishment
Believing in love and preach damnation
I'm tired of feeling worthless
Give me reason
Then you pray
Always silence remains
How much longer can you keep your faith?
When no ones listening
Look inside
You'll find the truth in you
Be strong and reclaim
Your life and your mind
You sit and pray
And do nothing
For fear of sin
When you wake up
From your hell
You will realise
Its time to die
2. Silence Sweeps
He enters the room, tall, dark
The chatter dies in the audience
As he approaches the podium
Silence sweeps, they lay in wait
Too stupid to think for themselves
The need his words to ease their souls
So still, they wait with baited breath
For words to lead them to salvation
Worse than any nightmare
Is the reality of life?
The undeniable truth
That won't go away
Some won't trust their hearts
To feel the way
But when it's done
They'll fade
I will burn for my sins
Burn for my greed
I will burn for my contempt
Burn for what I don't believe
Worse than any nightmare
Is the reality of life?
The undeniable truth
That won't go away
You are force-fed so many lies
Should I take it, shouldn't I, shouldn't I
Raping everything that makes me different
Killing all the things that makes you, you.
You are force fed so many lies
Can't you see the blind leading the blind?
Take everything at face value
Don't dare to question their word
I'm not trying to criticise you faith
I just think you're taking it the wrong way
Its just logic we learn from our mistakes
Where are your choices taking you?
Look up to the liar
Take his words as truths
Not worthy of free thought
Once again silence sweeps
100 sheep sitting in a row
Fear of reprisal keeps them in line
Can't they just be trusted?
Familiarity breeds contempt
Death escapes the nightmare
But is the fear itself
The unescapable truth
You can't run away
You are force fed so many lies
Can't you see the blind leading the blind?
Take everything at face value
Don't dare to question their word
