1. Failure in the Flesh
Bring out your dead
Bring me their heads
An execution is at hand
These are you false prophets selling you Armageddon
These are the ones who are telling you that you are safe
These are the ones who are taking your life away
Day by day we cleanse the world of evil
Yet, the blood is still on our hands
Buried beneath the prayers of dead men
And when there’s nothing left
There will be no one left to peel the guilt from our backs
A flaw so fatal to our own survival
Failure in the flesh
Day by day we cleanse the world of evil
Yet, the blood is still on our hands
2. The Undead Parade
Awakened by the dawn of a new age
Rebirth in lands of scathing havoc
All of living man will fall prey
To an undead parade
Victim to an endless nightmare
We will walk alone
From the unhallowed depths
I seek the void of existence
No one gets out alive
The fear is so familiar
Consumed by genocide
Victims of the bloodlust
This horrific image of mass suffering is only the beginning
A blank stare reflecting in cold steel
These are mankind’s last moments
No one gets out alive
The fear is so familiar
Consumed by genocide
Victims of the bloodlust
Recreating these visions of carnage
Forever entangled in decay
When flesh becomes survival
And pain becomes destiny
Living with one ambition
The intent to kill
Kill or be killed
Immerse yourself in murder
Kill or be killed
Headfirst to the slaughter
Victim to an endless nightmare
I will walk alone
From the unhallowed depths
Existence is erased
No one gets out alive
The fear is so familiar
Consumed by genocide
Victims of the bloodlust
3. To Wage a War
I embark the path into this wretched death
Who will save us when there is no one left?
As the end draws near I fear what may become eternal damnation
Seek your final salvation
Dead and lifeless amongst yourselves
Corruption runs through your cold veins
We shall prevail as our own
Scavengers of the human race, our mouths drip with disease
To play the roles of the powers that be
Give me the strength to rise above them all
I will conquer this earth
Seek your final salvation
Dead and lifeless amongst yourselves
Corruption runs through your cold veins
We shall prevail as our own
To stand the test of time
Shatter the hourglass
To become one with desolation and the poison air we breathe
I call upon the scorching rain of fire
Bring forth the darkness
These strings of wrath control our every move
Break away from this hell
Seek your final salvation
Dead and lifeless amongst yourselves
Corruption runs through your cold veins
We shall prevail as our own
To stand the test of time
Shatter the hourglass
To become one with desolation and the poison air we breathe
To stand the test of time
We shall prevail as our own
4. A Catastrophe of Epic Proportions
Followers led to rot among their waste
A putrid path of torment and human debris
Infection of the soul
No purity
Tearing apart from the inside out
Sickness spreading further from the host
Spiraling out of control
As the 11th hour rears its ugly head
We embrace death as the only way
Consumed with fear and no apparent cure
Condemned as humanity’s demise
Incinerated to remove the plague
Thrown to the fires screaming
Burning half alive
We are the disease
We are the virus
There is no cure
Only extinction
Insanity only a step away
The sun begins to fade
This foreseen image of madness and the sheer panic floods the streets
We are the disease
We are the virus
There is no cure
Only extinction
Sickness spreading further from the host
Spiraling out of control
We are the disease
We are the virus
There is no cure
Only extinction
5. As Good as Dead
Leave me for dead, but don't come back for me this time
I need no demons watching over me tonight
Save me from sinking further into this desperate darkness
If the sleeping doesn't kill me, then the morning surely will
Here's to your perfect world
Celebrate with the suffering
Here's to the blackened skies
Bring me the endless night
The worst has yet to come
Careless as it may be
We brought this on ourselves
We are engulfed in hatred
Hopeless as it shall be
The fear weights on our shoulders
Regret that lasts a lifetime
As these haunting dreams
Slowly come to life
One thing is certain
We are as good as dead
We are nothing
Careless as it may be
We brought this on ourselves
We are engulfed in hatred
Hopeless as it shall be
The fear weights on our shoulders
Regret that lasts a lifetime
6. Welcome to the Wasteland
Years weigh upon years
And each passing day will serve
As a constant reminder of the inevitable death we all face
This earth is nothing but a slowly rotting carcass
Decomposing with the shit that walk along its surface
I will not commit my life to the walking dead
I will not be reborn without a bullet in my head
Welcome to the wasteland
Where your sorrows are compounded by the filth
Engraved with the reality
That this was never meant to be
This is the end
Our time has come
This is the end of an era
We are undone
Agony hangs heavy on the hands of fallen angels
For they have done all they can do
Never enough to stop the coming fire
They will burn us alive
Never enough to stop the rising waters
They will drown us all
Welcome to the wasteland
Where your sorrows are compounded by the filth
Engraved with the reality
That this was never meant to be
This is the end
Our time has come
This is the end of an era
We are undone
Impending doom
This is the end
Vengeance is now
7. Malice
Asphyxiated by hidden hands of existence
United by this plague
A thousand eyes behold the atrocities in this world of shit
Cast aside your life for redemption
Renew your faith in hate
Cast aside your need for acceptance
Renew your faith in rage
As we stare into the mouth of pestilence
It will swallow us whole
We set our sights on the exploding horizon
Witness the final days
Cast aside your life of redemption
Renew your faith in hate
Cast aside your need for acceptance
Renew your faith in rage
The silence is salvation
The honesty is painful
The empty heart is hatred
The boiling blood is malice
This anger is divine
All hope is lost
The empty heart is hatred
The boiling blood is malice
Cast aside your life for redemption
Renew your faith in hate
Cast aside your need for acceptance
Renew your faith in rage
Never again will these days remain as memories
Until the day we are dead, we are in constant misery
8. To the Ruins
Has history taught us nothing but repetition of failure?
Do the writings on the wall hold the secrets of the ancient?
Forgotten scriptures
Prophetic tales of misfortune
Windswept and rushed away with the sands of time
An unfortunate series of events
And so the siren sounds
The curtain calls and these great cities cripple beneath their lights
Giving into a bastardized sense of renewal
No monuments to be rebuilt on these empty foundations
Bone by bone
To the ruins with us all
Brick by brick
Kingdoms rise and fall
So say goodnight
And say goodbye
9. Dead End Roads
We've been down this way so many times before
And walked a million miles in the shoes of a hopeless man
Forever embedded in despair
Destined to find his way home
This borrowed time is running out
And these hollow roads are getting old
So let this be a lesson
A violent introduction
To a life of absolution
I do not believe what I see
When the clouds part way with the skies
I hold no responsibility for the things I have done
This is all I am
All I have known
An escalading horror
A never-ending nightmare
I do not believe what I see
When the clouds part way with the skies
I hold no responsibility for the things I have done
I do not blame the locust for devouring the world
It is their destiny to destroy
Trust me when I say that this will hurt
We've been down this way so many times before
And walked a million miles in the shoes of a hopeless man
Forever embedded in despair
I do not believe what I see
When the clouds part way with the skies
I hold no responsibility for the things I have done
I do not blame the locust for devouring the world
It is their destiny to destroy
10. Interlude
11. Pull the Trigger
You stand so tall, so high on your throne
You're not so gracious anymore
We bring you praise, and speak of your name
Yet, you don't know us anymore
You thought yourself to be more than a man
You're just a fucking open sore
A festering mass of lies and deceit
And we believed every word
You spoke of honor and trust, but you could not be trusted
I don't believe a fucking word
The chains that held us strong, beyond repair and rusted
You stand to fall, prepare for the worst
You're no one's God anymore
We brought you praise and spoke of your name
No one will remember your face
You're not the man that I thought you were
You are a coward in disguise
You made the bed of nails that you lie in
And you will surely die alone
And we believed every word
You spoke of honor and trust, but you could not be trusted
I don't believe a fucking word
The chains that held us strong, beyond repair and rusted
What a mistake to place gold in the hands of a beggar
If only you could see yourself
Just pull the fucking trigger
You dug the fucking grave that you lie in
Now you will surely die alone
You will die alone
Give me one reason not to rip out your throat
You live in horror
Oblivious to the world around you
Destined to become the empty shell of a man
