1. The Kingdom Within
Salvation lies within myself
Not once in my life could I understand
How man could know the word of God
Or lead me to “a glorious kingdom”
That you can’t even prove exists
Your words drove me farther away
Condemn me for having my doubts
I challenge your faith fuck your religion
Look deep inside it is only the casket that dies
Salvation lies within myself
Inside this body lives a kingdom
A stronghold you can’t penetrate
A fortress you can’t overthrow
Enduring strike after strike
Its walls show no sign of corruption
Pillars are as strong as my word
My kingdom is stronger than your religion
Look deep inside it is only the casket that dies
Die yourself
Crucify
Lower form realize
Look deep within it is only the skin that will bind
Find yourself
Open eyes
Higher form
Realized
Look deep inside it is only the casket that dies
Die yourself
Crucify
Lower form realize
Look deep inside it is only the skin that will bind
Your gospel is confined to a building of stone
My kingdom has no boundaries
Through knowledge it will prosper and grow
There will come a time when you will walk alone
And you will see me upon your throne
You took my hand into the sea
I put my faith towards your belief
Like a coward you let me drown
My wrath stronger than your faith
I see through all the deception in your eyes
I won’t be the fool to follow you this time
Everything you’re saying is all a contradiction
Testing the intelligence of your congregation
Basing your religion around a weak foundation
You can’t even prove to them if it’s fact or fiction
You want the truth
The truth is in you
Someday your disciples will see through all your bullshit
They’ll see you as a man and not a fucking prophet
Your glorious kingdom was just a clouded vision
Keeping them confused under your interpretation
A clouded vision
You took my hand into the sea
I put my faith towards your belief
Like a coward you let me drown
My wrath stronger than your faith
Look deep inside
That’s where you’ll find
Look to your heart
It was there from the start
Look deep inside it is only the casket that dies
2. Blackness Bleeds
This urge it grows inside
I can no longer fight
Burning instinct has control
The light is gone the blackness grows
So many years I’ve spent
Restraining all this anger
I’ve never harnessed its true power
I cannot withstand this thing that grows inside
It’s beyond my control
All the light is gone
The light is gone the blackness grows
My hearts an open sore
Festering in the core
Oozing forth it covers me
The light is gone the blackness bleeds
So many years I’ve spent
Restraining all this anger
I’ve never harnessed its true power
All this time these demons have been locked away
Tearing at my soul
And the blackness inside me
Screaming to be freed
Invades my thoughts without warning
On my victims it’s unleashed
And the blackness bleeds
And the blackness bleeds on
I am a channel of darkness
I vomit the sludge of impurity
I open my soul to the manifestations
I have lost every shred of humanity
An instrument of pure wrath
Nothing will live through my scorn
I am the new bringer of death
Through hatred I am reborn
I run from no one
Destroy the sun
I run from no one
Murder the son
