Electric Crown
|
|
Here we go The people show Victims of tomorrow The way it goes It never shows Emptiness or sorrow There is nothing left inside Nothing left to cry for So I justify my crimes Things I must die for So alone Away it goes The life that you have wasted You never know Where is might go The sweet success you've tasted Tasted by a bitter frown Knowing I must die for Can't confide, to all the lies No one to inquire As I wander, change of seasons As I realize That I'll soon be there I'll let you know The reapers show Makes you beg or borrow He comes to see The tragedy His fate he will not follow Wearing your electric crown The preacher starts to pray Shiver as the lights go down Heed these words I say As I wander Change of seasons I can't ponder I got my reasons As I realize I don't care All I know is That I'll soon be there Now it's gone The time has come The people stand in silence Another dawn Has come and gone His fate has been decided There is no one left inside A brain without a mind Traces of a bitter man Are all you will find As I wander Change of seasons I can't ponder I got my reasons As I realize I don't care All I know is That I'll soon be there That I'll soon be there That I'll soon be there That I'll soon be there |

So Many Lies
|
|
I didn't mean to offend you But you were way out of line And I can't help the way I feel Who said I feel fine? I'll only give you one warning Then you must realize The day of judgement is closing in your selfish ways bring your demise He who lies Evil pays Who are you? Who made you anyway? Wrong or right Who's to say I wanna know Who made you God today Slave to the ways of the system Soon to be crucified I've seen into your darkest fears The ones you cannot hide I know where you go when Your fears start showing You run, You cannot hide Will they respect you when You ask of the world, Forgive me for so many lies? He who lies Evil pays Who are you? Who made you anyway? Wrong or right Who's to say I wanna know Who made you God today Is there a need to pretend To be a man, so divine And even if I offended you My truth you can't deny I know where you go when Your fears start showing You run, You cannot hide Will they respect you when You ask of the world, Forgive me for so many lies? He who lies Evil pays Who are you? Who made you anyway? Wrong or right Who's to say I wanna know Who made you God today |

Let Go of My World
|
|
Listen now to my sordid tale My words they speak to you They testify You can't deny You see it's on so true I dwell in thoughts Of the universe What's immorality? it's said to be The lies they breed The pages start to bleed How can this be? Let go of my world Let it go... Touch my soul With subliminal sin Deceptions they induce Ingest the lies Dissect the mind You can't control the youth Enslave the free With conformity Oppression takes its toll Hey little man Who are you To try to take control Of my soul... Let go of my world Let me go... Bleed me dry Read between the lies Filter out the truth Pick at my brain Brand me insane I know what I must do take my life into my own hands My sins I will atone It I don't cry I will reside Inside mental home Home sweet home... Let go of my world Let it go... |

The Ritual
|
|
Say hello again, my friends I've got to go The ritual calls to me Silent insanity You really thought you'd never Be the one who bleeds It's all so clear to me now Why they can't see? Revelations breaking through The truth distorts Untimely accident Your precious mind is lost Try to regain again my friend Your sanity The ritual calls to me Melodic agony You really never thought you would never Be the one who bleeds It's all so clear to me now Why they can't see? Free away your mind Walk behind the blind Kill yourself killing time Oooh, what'cha gonna say When you are on your way On your darkest day Hey Darkest day say goodbye again, my friends I'm coming home The ritual calls to me Distant reality Unless images expose What I can't see The ritual call to me Won't ever set me free You really thought you'd never Be the one who bleeds It's all so clear to me now Why they can't see? Fry away your mind Walk behind the blind Kill yourself killing time |

Take a look away Think about the things you say The day awaits your soul in chains Ya got to make it today Or there will be hell to pay And there is no other way Look at how you're living now Life can always bring you down the cradle to the grave All I give is all I save Every day's the same Can you still feel the pain You lose your mind then go insane I can't talk to you You can't tell me what to do What I need is up to you Look at how you're living now Life can always bring you down the cradle to the grave All I give is all I save... And I wonder how they live Always taking what they give Never far,always near,lose your mind Gripping you with...fear... What's done is done... Hey,Slave,take it to the grave Walk in someone else's shoes That's the path you paved Live,die,take off that disguise Find your own reflection now In the pool it lies Now you know the score You can't take this hell anymore You feel like you never did before Go and find the way You're closer to it everyday Yes,this is the price you pay And I wonder how they live Always taking what they give Never far,always near,lose your mind Gripping you with fear... When the first comes down... |

As the Seasons Grey
|
|
Take a look, what do you see Image in the mirror Yesterday is yesterday You'll meet your marker I know that time grows old Can't stop the seasons Shifting sands slip through your hands Time is gone before it's begun Die A little more A little more for every day Lord why Oh tell me why Do the seasons slowly grey? Days of blue just turn to grey The picture slowly aging Nothing left to the memory Death will not forsake them God fearing people say They are not afraid of dying So why do they turn to faith When faith has no meaning in life? Time worn,worn time Say goodbye to yesterday After life, life after It's all the same The golden years bring out the pain Death rolls in like the seasons change You've lost all hope but still you pray Aging eyes that fail to see The mirror has been shattered Death's knocking on their door A vision filled with laughter I know that time grows old Can't stop the seasons And as the end draws near The story's over before it's begun Die A little more A little more for every day Lord why Oh tell me why Do the seasons slowly grey? |

Agony
|
|
Trapped in a nightmare Prisoners of warfare Days gone become years Of suffering... Fight on but what's to gain? Misfortune leads to pain... Fearless they won't die Caged in they ask why Cry out but don't cry In agony... Live on but what's to gain Die slowly everyday Misfortune leads to pain Will they ever be saved From agony, agony, agony In silent suffering It's never ending They pray to end their Misery... Fight on but what's to gain Die slowly everyday Misfortune leads to pain Will they ever be saved From agony, Agony, Agony Agony Missing in action Never forgotten America the mighty Set them free... Fight on but what's to gain Die slowly everyday Misfortune leads to pain Will they ever be saved From agony, agony, agony Agony |

The Sermon
|
|
Suit up for destruction Death looks behind many faces Hatred plants its deepest seed In the most obvious places Symbols of allegiance Chaos spells devotion The master plan is set in motion What the hell are you proud of Heads held low Self respect must be carved Evil poisons taste just like wine Swallow the lies until you are blind You're going blind Now let it flow... Waiting to deliver Imposing martial laws of pain KKK or CIA They are one and all the same [Chorus] Evil poisons taste just like wine Swallow the lies until you are blind You're going blind Can't get to me Or abuse me Your racist tears will amuse me And then you'll bleed... Now let it flow... Charismatic leaders Preach their sermons of ignorance please take heed soon my friends promises won't cleanse the sins [Chorus] |

Return to Serenity
|
|
I'm gonna take you to a place far from here No one will see us watch the pain as it disappears No time for anger, no time for despair Won't you come with me, there's a room for us there This innocent beauty my words can't describe This rebirth purity brings a sullen tear right to your eyes No time for anger, no time for despair Please let me take you 'cause I'm already there I'm so alone My head's my home I'll return to serenity Rhyme without reason is why children cry They see through the system that's breeding them just so they die So please let me take you and I'll show you the truth Inside my reality we shared in youth I'm so alone My head's my home And I feel So alone You know At last I'll return to serenity Now that I've taken you to a place far from here I really must go back, close your eyes and we'll disappear Won't you come with me, salvation we'll share Inside of my head now there's a room for us there I'm so alone My head's my home And I feel So alone You know At last I'll return to serenity |

Troubled Dreams
|
|
Troubled dreams Of a wandering nomad Damned to be all by myself I travelled far Following bright stars Through the endless desert sands Starring off into the sky Down on Myself Loneliness brings my demise Oh,what a nightmare Here we go Leave me be Why must I please them When I can't even please myself Deep in thoughts But I still feel so Lost in endless despair Starring off into the sky Down on myself Loneliness brings my demise Oh,what a nightmare Here we go As you soon realize The nights so black I feel blind Should I keep wandering on On and on and on There's just one thing you should know No I can't take it no more Two wrongs don't make it right Right or wrong I can't take it And in the end you will find Find me a peace of mind Forever lost Severing my thoughts From the dream I must seek Time to end This aggravation The nomad spirit lives in me [Chorus] |
