1. Never To Betray
Betrayal, Why would you deceive ? I refuse to deal out but again I receive The destruction and hate felt within So now my healing will again begin
Now I can see, you�re so cold inside How can you sleep at night, knowing the others you�ve cast aside ? I looked in your eyes, never realised That every word spoken was based on your lies
Pre-Chorus
It�s time to end the day The past is not the way
Chorus
Now I can see, there�s no sympathy Just turn and walk cause there�s nothing to say Now I can see, no pride or loyalty Thats why I swore never to betray
Denial, because I thought I knew But there must be something I don�t understand inside of you Trust no one, it�s not how it should be I thought I could see, but something�s blinding me
A bruised fist, it�s hard to resist but it wont ever clear this scarlet mist But now I have Descent, to ease my pain to vent my rage, to break this chain
Pre-Chorus
What I feel, seems so real Hard to understand, nothing�s in my hand
Middle section
I lost respect when you broke the trust The words not spoken by the ones you�ve crushed Well, that was me, I was a broken man So I figure now i�ll take a stand Now the choice is mine, so what should I do ? I can fight against or become like you But being bitter and twisted�s never been my way So i�ll swear to myself, never to betray
2. Victim
I�m not a product, I�m a victim of this world
Promised salvation No confrontation
But as life tears apart and you see inside A violent reality, that the weak confide And need a belief to dilute their fears A pervese injustice, divinated ideas I can�t understand your traditional vows And only living life as god allows Only I can see the symbiotic state Only I can see that there is no fate
CHORUS
Promises made, Nothing is found Bleakness in vain, Breaking me down Feel incomplete, still nothing is found Numbers deplete, I wont bow down
I�m not a product, I�m a victim of this world
Seeking a cure Found something impure
A world within a world of greed and lust brandishing the sign that in god you trust You deny reality, can�t face the day Don�t want to lose faith so you look away A lifeless existence, they manipulate An ignorant path leading to a locked gate Your life is slipping but you wont admit Can�t see beyond your cocoon of shit
I�m not a product, I�m a victim of this.................World
3. A Darkened Light
God damn, the pain that bleeds through my eyes, A window to my soul where others pain still lies, A world of emptiness looking for meanings, In the outside world with its religious leanings, But if there�s someone above then they�re not looking on, Because the people struck down have done nothing wrong. Weakened inside, what a price to pay, They owe you nothing yet are paying everyday.
Pre-Chorus
No one deserves this, no fucking way I�d rather suffer myself, I�d swap any fucking day
CHORUS
Now it�s time to find another cure, The strength inside you that keeps you pure I wont be blind, I wont be numb I wont deny what this worlds become
I�ve always believed, and i�ve always held true That there�s some kind of justice in all that we do, But I don't know anymore, I see with my own eyes The ones I care for and the ones I despise
Pre-Chorus
And it�s no surprise which ones are pain I�ll never accept it but it�s always the same
CHORUS
Now it�s time to find another cure, The strength inside you that keeps you pure I wont be blind, I wont be numb I wont deny what this worlds become
MIDDLE
I now can see, and hope to understand what�s made you free, despite this broken land The walls, built through the years The heartfelt honesty, forget the fears A darkened soul, the shadow�s cast but this solitude, I pray wont last I�ve lost my faith, I have no belief In a world, full of hate and grief.
