Divide and Conquer
03:05
|
|||
Twisting into form
Truth inversion, progeny of lies
Preaching to the deaf, dumb and the blind
Spreading fear, suspicions rising high
Subvert us forever watch us die
Oh watch us, oh watch us divide and conquer us
Forcing us to regress
To a state of lethargy
Reverting to a time of prejudice and greed
The voice of reason silenced and slain
Oh watch us, oh watch us divide and conquer us
The voice of reason silenced and slain
Oh watch us, oh watch us divide and conquer us
These men of straw will lead us gladly to our end
Pollute the Earth with hate, condemn us to our graves
Forever to regret decisions made in haste
Life has no meaning watch it burn and laid to waste
The voice of reason silenced and slain
Oh watch us, oh watch us divide and conquer us

Black Veil
04:19
|

I hear you...
My heart pounds...
I fall down dead to the ground
I thought this nightmare was all over
At peace in mind, body and soul
You had other ideas, return now to remind me
Never to leave myself defenceless...from you
Black heart girl, hate filled girl
Cruel nails they tear at my flesh
Eyes mock me, words scorn me
Smiling behind your black veil
This time there will be no returning
My death elixir on her lips
I take my final weary breath
Her shadow rising
Black heart girl, hate filled girl
Cruel nails they tear at my flesh
Eyes mock me, words scorn me
Smiling behind your black veil
Black veil, black veil, black veil, black veil
Black heart girl, hate filled girl
Cruel nails they tear at my flesh
Eyes mock me, words scorn me
Smiling behind your black veil
Haunting my soul forever
Haunting my heart
Black heart girl, hate filled girl
Cruel nails they tear at my flesh
Eyes mock me, words scorn me
Smiling behind your black veil

Tightrope
04:52
|
|||
I look around me and see panic in their eyes
This life will suck you up then leave you out to die
Breathe the uncertainty you fear it to the end
Heart racing faster now you're hanging on the edge
Come walk, then dance the tightrope with me
The repercussions flow, they haunt you every night
You dream catastrophe convinced this is the end
One fatal slip will leave you falling to the ground
No mercy in this world for those who cannot fight
Come walk, then dance the tightrope with me
We are such fragile fools
Caught in the chaos
Time the commodity
None of us have, we drown
Come walk, then dance the tightrope with me
I look around me and see panic in their eyes
This life will suck you up then leave you out to die
Breathe the uncertainty you fear it to the end
Heart racing faster now you've reached the edge
Come walk, then dance the tightrope with me

Welcome crusader...
The 21st century voice for the dumb
Spout your vicious lies
Brain, disengage
Vacancy upstairs
Give you a platform, entertain us
Fool...
Tell me, are you lonely?
Liar, cheat, fabricator
Hide behind a screen then play the victim
Bigot, wretch, aberration
Your tired transparency
Loser, coward, miserable fool
Oxygen is wasted on people like you
Empty, useless, cretinous tool
You're a waste of time and space and
You're a fucking liar!
And that is being kind...
You're so much worse and so much more...
Fool...
Tell me, is it lonely?
Up there in your ivory tower
And that is being kind...
You're so much worse and so much more...
Fool...
Brain, disengage
Vacancy upstairs
Give you a platform, racist liar
Fool...
Tell me, are you lonely?
Liar, cheat, fabricator
Hide behind a screen then play the victim
Bigot, wretch, aberration
Your tired transparency
Loser, coward, miserable fool
Oxygen is wasted on people like you
Empty, useless, cretinous tool
You're a waste of time and space and
You're a fucking liar!
Testify to me!

Fickle
05:57
|

Come hold my hand
Then let it fall
Promise to let me down
Tell me you care
Mouth your deceptions
Deliver pain
Your fickle, twisted, cruel intentions
Kill the faith I have in me
Cultivate purity
Fabricate honesty
Smooth words that blind my eyes
Cast me to a lonely shore
Come dig my grave
Deliver pain
Your fickle, twisted, cruel intentions
Kill the faith I have in me
...and only one thing is for certain
Tear my heart out
Leave me screaming
One track minded
Predetermined
Paranoia
Voices echo
Mocking laughter
Only darkness
Only darkness, in your eyes
Only darkness, on your mind
...and only one thing is for certain

The Grand Leveller
06:08
|

I am around you in the shadows
Sit by your bedside every night
The one you fear the most I play with your emotions
Toy with your hopes and dreams
You flounder in the darkness
And all who pass here, come to me
A whisper in your ear
Then I move in behind you
I have you dancing on a string
Just give yourself to me, resistance cannot save you
I am the all-consuming presence
And all who pass here, come to me
And no returning!
Life! Death! Life!
Fall to your feet no escape
Life! Death!
Crawl on your knees no escape
And in the end there are no answers
Your questions met with mocking silence
Only my open arms to hold you in the darkness
All follow me to silent sleep
And all who pass here, come to me
And no returning!
Life! Death! Life!
Fall to your feet no escape
Life! Death! Life!
Crawl on your knees no escape

Blind Faith
03:21
|
|||
Life in denial, blind faith!
Watch them fall and listen to a liar
Eyes wide open innocent unscarred
Close their minds, harden their hearts
Bend them to your will
Lead them down the golden path to nowhere
As madness reigns
They're blinded by faith
Exalt their master
Faultless by rule
None dare to answer
Blinded by faith
Exalt their master
Faultless by rule
None dare to answer
Blind faith
Propaganda funnelled through a censor
Preaching lies from altars stained with blood
Manipulation with a smile, deviate and die
Obedience maintained, harness control
As madness reigns
They're blinded by faith
Exalt their master
Faultless by rule
None dare to answer
Blinded by faith
Exalt their master
Faultless by rule
None dare to answer
Blind faith

Condemned
04:03
|
|||
Follow, we follow, follow, we follow
We fall...
Lead the blind on a path to nowhere
Take them by the hand
Give them hope by divide and conquer
Subjugate and rule
Tyranny
Misery
Apathy the tool
Ignorance, violence
Watch the Earth aflame
Consumed, consumed, consumed...
Into darkness
Guide the helpless
Condemned lives
Your misrule
Powertrip that inflates your ego
Lack of empathy
View their lives with disdain and contempt
Psychopathic creed
Tyranny
Misery
Apathy the tool
Ignorance, violence
Watch the Earth aflame
Consumed, consumed, consumed...
Into darkness
Guide the helpless
Condemned lives
Your misrule
On borrowed time, we crawl through life
You lead the way, our messiah
Tyranny
Misery
Apathy the tool
Ignorance, violence
Watch the Earth aflame
Consumed, consumed, consumed...
Into darkness
Guide the helpless
Condemned lives
Your misrule

All I Never Wanted
04:19
|
|||
I walked a lonely road, an empty soul inside
Searching for inner peace, so restless and deprived
You offered up your heart, an open invitation
I entered eagerly and broke your heart in two
This is the cross I bear
Finding satisfaction, finding despair
Struggle with my conscience, callously forsake
and all I never wanted, all I never wanted was you
Never to find a place where my heart can find rest
Questions and answers, excuses never reasons
I promise you the world, then take your heart for granted
Look to a future that doesn't include you
This is the cross i bear
Finding satisfaction, finding despair
Struggle with my conscience, callously forsake
and all I never wanted, all I never wanted was you
Searching...finding...wanting...nothing
This is the cross I bear
Finding satisfaction, finding despair
Struggle with my conscience, callously forsake
and all I never wanted, all I never wanted was you

Two Worlds Collide
05:48
|
|||
Somewhere in time
Lost in a void
I lost my mind
Madness defined...madness defined
Two worlds collide, and time stands still
From one burning ember grew a flame
One look could freeze my heart
This madness kills me
Obsessions they drive
Both of our hearts
The closer to danger, the better it feels
One look could freeze my heart
This madness kills me
Mistake your touch for love
Passions arise, hearts racing fast
Beautiful nightmare, never to last
One look could freeze my heart
This madness kills me
Mistake your touch for love
Leave me to die all over again
All over again
One look could freeze my heart
This madness kills me
Mistake your touch for love
Leave me to die all over again
One love, one hate, one kiss
We're doomed to our fate
One love, one hate, one kiss
We're doomed to our fate
One love...one hate...one love...
One love...one hate
Rise desire like fire, burning a pyre
Desire like fire, burning a pyre
Desire the fire that burns through my heart
Desire the fire that burns deep inside
As Two Worlds Collide
