1. Drop Dead
Blind are their eyes - deaf are their ears
They live an illusion of life
Separation from what is real
Consumed by selfish ideals
Matricide for mother earth
In their search for Babylon
Toxic trace - Pollutants and waste
Affect our health until our health is gone
Cancers breeding - Ulcers bleeding
Prayer won't save you - you drop dead
Why this horror - Human error
Prayer won't save you - you drop dead
Closed are their minds -set in their ways
Raping the world until it dies
Swept away in moral decay
Thinking the well won't run dry
Matricide for mother earth
In their search for Babylon
Avidity - Stupidity
Erasing the future until the future is gone
Time will tell a tale of dread
Fools says comfort justifies
One hundred million dead
A future murdered by the past
Direct results in fleeting lives
Consuming first - Conserving last
The population dies
2. Into Darkness We Fall
3. Empty Churches
4. Condemned To Live
5. This Is Your God
6. Illusions Of Sanity
Desperately seeking a means to an end
Escape from this internal hell
Adrenaline explodes - convulsions begin
Fingers bleed as they tear at the walls
Look into his eyes - see the hatred building within
To kill all in sight - a purification by blood will begin
Keep him locked away
For if he escpaes many surely will die
Its here he must stay
Inside the asylum his paranoid mind must remain
Reckless abandon
Bones break as they hit the walls
Meant to keep him inside - phantom voices
He smiles with a twitch as he dreams of his victims
Who will die humanity swept aside
Not a shred of human being left inside
Killing all in sight
Senselessly butchering all he'll find
Keep him locked away
Violent intentions to murder and maim
Its here he must stay
Inside the asylum his paranoid mind must remain
The system now a revolving door
Into institutions then out once more
Society's killers released to the streets
Illusions of sanity the circle complete
The treament injection of drugs make them sleep
Awakend unchanged - death's harvesters reap
A smile now masks the disorder they hide
A history of violence that will never subside
7. Day of Retribution
8. Dead Reckoning
9. Empty Churches
10. This Is Your God
11. Thou Shalt Not Kill
The vital moment of indecision
A hand held high prepared to kill
The knife falls hard - a deep incision
A fatal wound and blood will spill
In mortal sin i fear i've fallen
The taint of blood upon my soul
The last of god's commandments broken
Some say that hell is were i go
Thou shall not kill
Pray - there is no afterlife
No hell were i my must pay the price
Burn - like the bible says
Eternally in flame
Scream - my conscience fills my head
And tells me that my soul is dead
Suffer - just another man
Who walks among the damned
Death - beginning or an end?
No absolution for my sin
Blood - from another man
Who died by my own hand
Gone - like a fading light
It's been erased like day to night
Await - the final hour draws near
The truth awaits me there
Now captured my sentence is to die
The final embrace - the electric chair
Is justice an eye for another's eye?
Despair now fuels the tears i cry
In horror i sit were i'm restrained
With straps bound tightly to my wrist
The priest falls silent - his words in vain
But they still echo in my brain
Thou shall not kill
12. Condemned To Live

17. Ritual Sacrifice
Countless soldiers march towards slaughter
They pray just to come home alive
Blood stained tanks forge trail of death
For none in it's path will survive
Exploding fragments pierce the skin
Of those that were to near
Mangled corpses lying lifeless
Their faces holds death's stare
Napalm sticking to their skin
Caustic gases kill them from within
Land mines leaving crippled men
Murder children innocent of sin
Bullets flying aimlessly
Until reaching their mark
Machine gun fire fills the night
Explosions light the dark
Corpses tangled in barbed wire
Lifeless hands clutching guns
Aftermath of swift attack
God help them now it's done
Innocence now forver gone
Fight to kill until the war is won
Uniforms now stained with sweat and mud
Soldiers of war baptized in blood
Politicians create confusion - maneuvering us towards war
Economic strife forgotten - make soldiers of the poor
Send them to a foreign nation - fill the media with lies
An epitaph to the greed of man - a ritual sacrifice
Thousands of soldiers return from warfare
And hope they can learn to forget
Burnt of shells of former selves
Face remorse filled days of regret
Nightmares come to take them
To an inescapable hell
Scars so deep disturb their sleep
Moral conflict will never dispel
Innocence now forever gone
Internal conflict a war that cant be won
Hollow heroes hide behind paranoid eyes
In the name of war you'll die
