1. Infect The Public
Through the word of mouth,
Their words lie dormant
In the eyes of youth,
We infect the public
You can feel it in the air
Like a plague of society
Our words the truth
To others blasphemy
The pieces of our lives
Invade your mind
The thoughts behind our music
Differences in opinions collide
Phrase by Phrase
They crash like a tide
Follow your instinct
Go on what's inside
Follow your instinct
Go on what's inside
You must make your own path
Fuck the resistance
They will try to pull you under
Make you submit till you're broken
Fight the war with all your strength
We can't afford to lose it now
Our words breathe truth
In the recesses of youth
It's a mission to find a reason why
(Repeat verse 1 & 2)
2. Media Cesspool
All walks of society
Viewed through my eyes
It's so pathetic you follow a crowd
That don't give a fuck about you
You're a weak, mindless zombie
You do as they say just for acceptance
What happened to the things you held to be true?
You can't make my decisions for me
(Chorus)
The more you try
The more you seem to fall behind
You will die
Before you ever realize
This is you life
Don't let these fools control your mind
Where's your pride?
For once stand up and feel alive
We are your deepest fear
Running rampant and out of control
We are the ones upsetting the balance
We're pissing on all of your standards
We are the ones you Loathe
For living our lives the way we see fit
Never regretting a word that we've said
In the end the truth be known
Chorus
Fuck your trend!
It's so sad to see a youth
Fall victim to this media cesspool
It lures them in with temptations
An illusion used to disguise the truth
Never once did you ever doubt
The bullshit that spews from their mouths
Don't be the pawn or played by their hand
It's time to take a fucking stand
I've seen your heart
Buried in you a strength
That no one has ever seen before
You've become a target
So easy to persuade
It's time to settle the score
Was there ever a time when you stood alone?
Defend yourself - your words written in stone
You gained respect - stood behind every word you said
What happened to that man I knew?
He's probably dead
What will you do when you finally wake up and your friends have all left you for dead
You've been stabbed in the back again and again
This is what happens when you follow a trend
Chorus
Fuck your trend!
3. The Fallen
Did you ever take that journey inside?
To that place you're to afraid to go
It's a place of relentless torment
That eats at your soul
It's a nightmare
It's never-ending
A catacomb
A darkened realm
In these confines
Lie the answers
You're too afraid to know
Did you ever think that God is dead?
He's dead to you because you gave up so long ago
Did you ever think you lost yourself
To the demons that have taken control?
I keep trudging on
With no reason
A lost soul
With no place to call home
I've become one of the fallen
Damned to walk this word alone
I feel so fucking numb inside
My heart is tired
I've grown so cold
Fell into a state of depression
Isolated myself from the world
My mind is poisoned
I'm going insane
Loved ones don't know me anymore
The man that I was is dead
His soul rots away at the morgue
No angels to guide me
No God to praise
Abandoned
Forgotten
But I am to blame
Nothing to live for
I can't be saved
Trapped in this hell
That I can't escape
No one to love
So many to hate
This destiny's mine
I chose my own fate
No one can stop me
It is too late
Liberation will come
With a razor blade
Did you ever take that journey inside?
It's a quest that defines us all
This is where you find all the answers
In order to save your soul
I have fallen from grace
Fallen out of the sight of God
I am one of the damned
Among legions of forgotten souls
4. Nausea
I have never felt this way towards anyone
I'm lost in a world of emotion
I don't know what to do
Why is love so special?
(Chorus)
Choking convulsions
Violent eruptions
Putrid expulsion
For your consumption
Choking on myself
You
You knew how much I cared
You took it for granted
I offer my world
I offer my life
I'd go to hell for you
Chorus
Frustration consumes me
Anger flows from my veins
Can't escape from your eyes
Is this love or hate?
Hate for you
Can't escape
I want to puke on your face
Hate for you
Can't escape
I want to regurgitate
I can't believe my anger
Has this kind of effect on me
Is this love or hate?
(Repeat 4th verse)
No I found the truth
Love is a sickness
It pollutes me like a disease
When I see you I want to heave
Chorus
Choking on myself
5. Refuge In Hell
So now your life is ruined
Because you failed to see
You're just a victim of
A world that doesn't give a shit
Another fucking failure
Surely the numbers rising
Of the lost hopes and dreams
You people waste away
Such precious time
Waiting for a change
Never taking action
There's no return
You
Have been a fucking slave
A slave to the tyrants
When
You're of no use to them
You're replaced by another
Don't
Let them break you down
Don't be branded a coward
So now you seek refuge in hell
Too afraid to stand up for yourself
Smash through the walls
Tear off the restraints
Emerge from this hell
Before it's too late
You've
Been withering away
The fire inside extinguished
Reduced
To nothing but a slave
Another fucking number
Forgetting
What its like to feel alive
Your spirit is slowly dying
So now you seek refuge in hell
Too afraid to stand up for yourself
Transform the servant into the king
Triumph will be yours
And not just a dream
Coward
Weakling
Failure
These are the words that will always haunt you
Coward
Weakling
Failure
These are the words that best describe you
Push yourself to succeed
Conquer the world with your strength
Never accept defeat
Always strive to be great
The victory is yours
Crush who stands in your way
Hold your head up high
At the end of the day
(Repeat verse 6)
When the war is over
The smoke has all cleared
Are you the man who was slain?
Or did you persevere?
Over all the odds
Through all the pain
Just know when you die
We'll remember your name
So now you've escaped from this hell
You wasted time doubting yourself
The struggles that you overcame
Your legacy is all
Is all that remains
6. 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
7. The Next Time I Die, It Will Be My Last
The end has begun
Embrace it
The final chapter of my story
I have died
So many times
And I will find salvation
What must I do
To escape the chains
Of this fucking world?
Ascension seems
Closer than a dream
carving wounds on my mind
A passage found in time
The next time that I die
I have fought
For so long
To calm this restless spirit
I was a fool
To ever think
That I could restrain it
I found the key
To escape the chains
Of this fucking world
Ascension seems
Closer than a dream
Carving wounds on my mind
A message earned in time
The next time that I die
I've been through
More than you could ever know
Lived through a hell
You could never comprehend
Torn apart
Ripped to shreds
And rebuilt again
The next time that I die
It will be my last
I stand before the gates
Of an empire laid to waste
It's a realm of shadows
In the sorrow
Of the souls
Who lost their way
An apparition dressed in black
Welcomes me to her shadow land
She's like a long-lost friend
The only one who understands
Her soothing voice
It comforts me
As you walk through the misery
She knows of all my fears
All the rage
All the torment
My struggle to escape
She lead me to my destiny
A place envisioned in my dreams
A prisoner of this life
But now I'm free
When all religion's failed
To answer the questions of life
I look to myself
Seeking the truth
Always questioning why
Now look what I've become
As I ascend to the sky
A confident man
Who saved himself
Prepared to leave this life
What lies in store?
A mystery you'll solve on your own
Face it head on
Determine to rise
To the challenge your future beholds
When your time has come
You know you will finally rest
The lessons you've learned
All the times that you've burned
You're passion is put to the test
8. 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
