This substitution
Is no delusion
A replication
No longer emotion
You march like clockwork machines
Fake waxwork figurines
Sticking to a prescribed routine
I am your vaccine
This substitution
Safety in the habitual habit
The monotonous
And mundane
I know its all a lie
Time distorted by the missing years
Incarcerated by wheels and gears
Encapsulated by sphericity
No longer a grip on reality
You are not who I once knew
You’ve been replaced by something new
The summation of all I’ve feared
The ones I’ve loved have disappeared

He’s been tracing lives on paper
Dilated, privated
Left dazed and on the floor
Dilated, privated
Now that she’s gone
Another sign of weakness
Another shot through the vein
Black lines on white paper
The only thing that does remain
Dilated, privated
Left dazed and on the floor
Dilated, privated
Now that she’s gone
He’s been tracing lives on paper
Trying to learn from all the lines
Another sign of weakness
Another shot through the vein
Black lines on white paper
The only thing that does remain
A harlot on the road
Leaving a broken man
Left lying desperately
Wondering about his life
A harlot on the road
Leaving a broken man
Left lying desperately
Wondering about her life

Welcome to the promised land
Where a gun is placed into your hands
Let the blood run thick through the sand
It’s time to make your stand against every woman and man
Cut off the heads of the infidels
Let blood spill over their entrails
Like ink over written page
Used to spread the word of a new age
Your so called salvation
Will be the damnation
Of your falsely created nation
Built upon burning foundations
Their serpent tongue of lies
Veiled behind masks they hide
In heaven there is no relief
Just a hole in the ground, your bodies buried deep
And for infecting lives with hatred and grief
I pray the earth your soul to keep
Their serpent tongue of lies
Veiled behind masks they hide
Upon the bones of the innocent, they have laid
Laid down the roots for their temple of decay

Tainted

This is genocide
A captivating spiral
Descends mankind to the grave
The purity of the tainted
Born only to be our slaves
A new age of extinction
Birthed from the unborn
A new age of humanity
Extinction of the natural born
Infanticide
You try to hide
But gods no longer on your side
For this is genocide
Of mankind
Our nature can be undone
Your life is ours to mend
Just look at what we have become
God's among mortal men
Our nature can be undone
Your life is ours to mend
Just look at what we have become
God's among mortal men
Infanticide
You try to hide
But gods no longer on your side
For this is genocide
Of mankind
Week and worthless
Evolutions last action
We manipulate to create
Nature's final adaption
Genetic mutations give rise to intolerance
Pre-determined without your consent
Pre-destined to be content
Pre-determined without your consent
Your purpose supplied for your convenience

Hours wasted fading like the colour from my face
Hours waiting on the precipice of eternity
Ticking hands force me closer to an empty space
Shattering all sense of reality
Lost in this spectral gaze
I let it all fade away
Within this common malaise
I’m left to slowly decay
A depiction of infinity
Encapsulated in sphericity
Within this lies the reality
That the hands will stop eventually
The malice of time
Begins to seal my fate
To be laid beneath the dirt
In a mire of waste
Like an eye to my soul
Seconds begin to take hold
Grinding my life to an end
Slowly below I descend
A relentless pulsating sonic disruption
Fuels a festering insomnia
Hours wasted fading like the colour from my face
Hours waiting on the precipice of eternity
Ticking hands force me closer to an empty space
Shattering all sense of reality
A relentless pulsating sonic disruption
Fuels a festering insomnia

Hollow
02:36

Cast before the eyes of the blind
In chains from your closed mind
Knowing only a shadow of reality
Break free from your naive mentality
We are all slaves to the hollow
Imprisoned by the masters you follow
Coerced into intolerance
Chastised for the sins of the ignorant
A price unfit for the innocent
Believed to be incompetent
Blinded by their resentment
Left cold from abandonment
Resentment
They claim to be god, gaining omniscience
Self-justification, claiming omnipotence
Such is the irony of the fallible
Believing that the shrines they build are inflammable
The ignorance of the blind
Will leave us all as cynics
A price unfit for the innocent
To be blinded by their resentment
We are all slaves to the hollow
Imprisoned by the masters you follow
Cast before the eyes of the blind
In chains from your closed mind
Knowing only a shadow of reality

Escape
02:10

Twisted feelings of ill repair
No hope is left for us here
Shadows paint a sickly picture
Death has led to this despair
The dead once again will roam the earth
As from their graves they have arose
To tear the flesh from our bones
And begin anew mankind’s rebirth
Counting down to our demise
I see the fear grow in her eyes
It lingers in the rotten air
This is the last moment we will share
When devils take men’s only sons
And morality has come undone
The shadows will surely come
And whisper with their twisted tongues
A clatter as her weapon falls
I’m alive because she stalled
Alone amidst a pool of red
We were both meant to be left for dead
Twisted feelings of ill repair
No hope is left for us here
For shadows paint a sickly picture
Death has led to this despair
As I draw the chamber on myself
I hear a cry from down the hall
Her father dazed and on his way
I hear the abyss begin to call
When devils take men’s only sons
And morality has come undone
The shadows will surely come
And whisper with their twisted tongues
Yet before I seal my fate
Her father shows, eyes filled with hate
He knocks away my means of escape
Not ending my life was my last mistake
For taking away my loved one
Your suffering has just begun
You’d wish you’d drawn your last breath
For my plan for you is worse than death

Mantis

An empty womb left barren and bare
So she lures them in when she sees them stare
So she waits
And she baits
For the seed to grow
To replace what’s down below
A small lie
As she dies
On the inside
Numbing the pain by getting high
Why can’t she find the one she needs?
She’s lying there desperately
It’s time for her to feed
As this time it will surely succeed
So she waits
And she baits
For the seed to grow
To replace what’s down below
A small lie
As she dies
On the inside
Numbing the pain by getting high
Why can’t she find the one she needs?
She’s lying there desperately
It’s time for her to feed
As this time it will surely succeed

Liberty

The Lady liberty is no longer free
Tied by the chains of your inequality
Can you justify your pride?
In the rules by which you abide
Cast down from financial elite
While you pick pennies off the street
You can’t run and hide
I’m afraid it’s too late
Because justice is blind
To the actions of the state
America now represents
A land for the one percent
You can’t run and hide
I’m afraid it’s too late
Because justice is blind
To the actions of the state
They are the sons of the privileged
Campaigns brought by big business
Glory, glory to those of lineage
Who set the rules for their kindred
Supposedly we are free
So why can’t they let us be?
Can we say what we want?
About these intrusive cunts
Supposedly we are free
So why can’t they let us be?
Can we say what we want?
About these intrusive cunts
America now represents
A land for the one percent

Her every move
Causes ripples flowing overhead
From the sheets that weave down
From her bed
And she lays there bare
Eyes glazed with an empty stare
Hands settling upon her breast
A signal to take all she has left
Her sacrifice
Reflective of your own
A gift for sins
You have atoned
Yet her beauty
Is merely lies
The truth is that
Shes dead inside
Quod caelum sit in inferno, Heaven is hell
Quod infernum sit in aeternum, Hell is eternal
Quod caelum sit in inferno, Heaven is hell
Quod infernum sit in aeternum, Hell is eternal
Fade in the silhouettes of dancing children
Surrounding the drapes and the alter your given
Their laughter growing ever distant
As the life drains out from the living
As the laugher begins to fade
All thats left is endless pain
She begins to cry out in vain
As we watch the childrens innocence being slain
Quod caelum sit in inferno, Heaven is hell
Quod infernum sit in aeternum, Hell is eternal
Quod caelum sit in inferno, Heaven is hell
Quod infernum sit in aeternum, Hell is eternal
A product sold for the price of innocence
Striving for perfection has led to this
For when we lust for ascension to heaven
It often leads to antithesis
This sacrifice is often willing
And for this you should not be forgiven
