1. Piece of Time

A blast of light is emerging, a soul prepared to learn
Its classroom, our earth, enlightment it yearns
Receiving the life and knowledge it deserves
A spectrum of warmth, a soul is life-preserved

Please don't think that when you die
You'll spend eternity up high
When what you really ought to know
Is just how far your life will go

Another notch in a cosmic climb
Reveal our sanity, reveal your plan divine
To grasp reality is to grasp your biggest fear, you see
Every circumstances is very meant to be

Is your life not the life that you want it to be?
Your soul is young, it lacks response to the things you see

Some must learn the hard way, but that's what they need
When all is learned in this life, your soul will proceed

Another notch in a cosmic climb
Reveal our sanity, reveal your plan divine
To grasp reality is to grasp your biggest fear, you see
Every circumstances is very meant to be

Piece of time
Piece of time

Here we stand at a hallway with nothing but open doors
Venture in your human existence awaits there for you

It's your piece of time




2. Unholy War

Enter this thought in your mind
We all were put here for mankind
To serve and obey a so-called lord
The price we must pay we can't afford
Evangelistic politics
No matter how much pain the might inflict
Now that this thought has set in
Wake up and realize this brutal sin

Unholy war
Thaught to pray for
Plaguing scandal
Unholy war

Religion pays in godly ways, education's not a factor
Sit there brainwashed, insecurity
Preaching life and immortality

Criminal in their ways
To reach eight million in just thirty days
Thrive on mindless human beings
An easy target, so it seems

Unholy war
Thaught to pray for
Plaguing scandal
Unholy war




3. Room With a View

Lie half-alive in my hospital bed
Or to some of you that may be half-dead
I.V. machines running to my veins
Man-made life restores my withered remains
A mirror of sorts appears before my being
My human end has come, that's all that I see

Now that my soul it set free
I'm classified dead now, it seems
My destiny plunders on through
I'm granted a room with a view

Nurses and interns gathering at my side
I try to yell at them, I haven't died
As I project, my soul emerges from fear
I soon remember all the reasons I'm here

How strange, I thought that I could see myself
A different light, sight, sound and smell

A different experience, a new world
Almost unhuman to me
See them cart me away
I venture to a new day
Human inhibitions are gone
Emotions are few
I'd pass up any life
For a room with a view




4. On They Slay

On they slay through clouds of death
No mercy or no fear
The sound of twisting flesh
Is the last thing you will hear
Take your final breath
You dying time is near

Fear clutching on the threshold of death
Spilling your remains' arrogance
Thinking of a way you will die
Rip through your flesh and through your bones, obey
See you lying limbless, you'll decay
Fall amongst the dead, on they slay

Eargerness to kill, the meager presence of their sight
You know your blood will spill, your end's tonight
Praying to be saved, now where's your god?

Infest your putrid mind
Death calls start tot unwind
Beware, for some day soon
They'll come to seal your doom

Fear clutching on the threshold of death
Spilling your remains' arrogance
Thinking of a way you will die
Rip through your flesh and through your bones, obey
See you lying limbless, you'll decay
Fall amongst the dead, on they slay




5. Beyond

Take a piece of life in hand, you know that life is yours
Indulgence, everlasting rage escaping through your pores
Day by day it grows so close, intensify the end
You know the day will come, we go beyond the end

What's in store, we fear no more, a blaze of ritual fire
Accept a form of life unknown by death, I am inspired
Hoping for a place of worship to pardon all my sins
This is where your life will end, beyond begins

Become at one with death it self and see where it will lead
Escaping from domestic, self-inflicted greed
Hoping for forgiveness, can you take the pain much more?
Soon your life will know just what's in store

Craving life beyond the end
To no avail, put down your blackened veil
Assuming that your life was pure
Immense disease for which there is no cure




6. I Deny

I deny your wretched lifestyle
Who am I to fool myself?
A distant cry of help from others
A child's brain, a world of greed
It's all around you, can't you see?
Are you blind to the like of me?

Politician, I see through your charade
Speaking all your brainless lies, you're all the same
Mister preacher, tell me what is right
Send the double figures, son, you'll see the light

Look into the distant future
will they have a tax on nature?
How much more will still remain?
They actually call themselves humane

I deny all you see
I don't have to belief

It's god's way, says your horrid wife

Embezzling, indulging
I believe your nose is growing
Extorting, not reporting
Your pockets are overflowing

Tell us one more thing
How much more holiness did you bring?
I see right through you
Soon they all will too




7. Why Bother?

Stop and look around at politics
No, nothing's changed, it still remains
The same old fear, the things we hear
I've heard enough, I won't adhere

Why bother voting
It won't do us any good
Octogenarian leaders
Telling us they would

I know that there's got to be a way
There's not that much that you or I can say
To make a dent in the land of the free
The darker side of life they never see

Election time is here, but do you care?
It's not our choice, we cannot voice
If they won't hear, the issue's clear
A more modern plan to run this land




8. Life

Numbness, see your fingers turn purple, would you rather burn?
Catching your breath, I'll let you choose your death
Cast your life of agony, I'll dump your body in the sea
I'll drown you while laughing, you know I will destroy you
If chainsaws are your fantasy, I'll cut your body into three
Slicing and grinding, you know that life's not binding
So strangulation is your game, you know I always please to maim
My service to you, to watch your face turn blue

I know your mind, it must be yielding, I'll throw you off a real-tall
building
You can't be found, you're splattered on the ground
I'll still your wrist and let you die, you know they'll call it suicide
Blood on the ceiling, I know how you are feeling
If you'd like to be cremated or maybe decapitated
Speak up now or I'll decide just how
Now you've waited way too long, I knew your mind was not that strong
you've list your chance, so I will choose your death




9. No Truth

I am my own self-ruler
I need not any ministry
I see our music scares you
Can't you see that...

There's no truth in modern religion, a god we do not praise
There's no truth in heaven or hell or what lies between
There's no truth in a man-made bible, so who are they to say?
There's no truth, we are our own god and that's the only way

People live their lives
By something never seen
Dreaming all their lives
Of a place they've never been

Why can't you see live a lie?
Humor yourself until you die
We're atheist as you can see
We all control our can see

There's no truth
