Gently 04:27
Paranoia engulf this place Down the halls and up each stair case Shed light on the path we chose To everyone who should have known We can do so much better than this mediocrity Burnt out by bureaucracy And the flaws in our regime Have you followed the doctrine? Recite back the lullabies Do not go gently from this place All living things crave an empty space Stand by your guns So when the devil walks we'll all have some fun We've all seen braver men downed by dumb luck Your incompetence breeds our disgust Gather round the masses Lined up with open arms In the face of a cold embrace Have you followed the doctrine? Set free from your own mistakes Do not go gently from this place Save yourself before we fall in disgrace The map has been misplaced What is your meaning? What is your purpose? You better watch what you say Do not go gently from this place

Scripture 03:13
Oh what a terrible turn if events The saviour's only son has spent All of his gold, frankincense and myrrh In a temple of lost love and saboteurs An open book in careless hands Could be the death of our advance Can you feel the shame in your gut? Now the scriptures been lost in the flood Everybody put your hands in the air Sing hallelujah cuz the end is near No time for last words or a prayer in your name The secrets out and all your gods are the same but... Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Let he without sin Be the first to light them up Do you expect a phantom to save you If you can't even save yourself?

Fang & Bone 04:04
Can you see the monsters, lurking in the dark? Every creature has its prey; each dog will have its day I've become aware of, the sound a foul mouth brings Can you hear the cries of a thousand souls Distained with blood, my king? Usurper Is this all that you wanted? Paved in gold Is this all that you needed? Broken bones and a heavy heart Is this all that you wanted? To strike the match Heading straight for disaster On the serpent's back Crowned, indulged and fed with our hopes Beware when fang meets bone You're dragging hell into paradise Distort the truth on small whims for hits on an empty site Broken bones and a heavy heart Is this all that you wanted? To strike the match Look past the screen to see the only remedy you'll need Is peace of mind in a sea of tranquillity Crowned, indulged and fed with our bones Beware when fang meets bone You're dragging hell into paradise Blood soaked hands on your own device

Fragmented, discarded My whole life I've been taken for granted I sought refuge In your fair hands Until you found a new cross to bear The saddest thing is I can see A part of you still living within me Each day a blessing Each day a curse It's the flip of a coin Well spent on my ill health Fragmented, discarded My will to bury the hatchet My innocence Replaced by hate I'm sorry mother you've dug your grave I stand by My own short comings In hopes that you might find reasons in my actions My innocence replaced by hate Burn the wretched one Burn the silver tongue Your words are wasted On ficticious serenity

Lone Wolf 03:20
No. Get out of my head Don't. Put this to bed Back the fuck off, leave me alone 4 long years you've been silent as stone Same tricks, same lies running down your thighs Fallen into habits what a god dammed surprise well I pray you know that I am not content With the way you left my hunger unchecked Lies, lies Take your best shot I'm bulletproof Lies, lies You can fool the pack but not the lone wolf Your shit already stinks so fucking bad It's really obvious I'm not the first you've had Sick of playing games face first in the dirt Ripping off the fur from under your skirt Are you offended by my way of life? It's basic instinct, just an animal's vice Same lies, snake eyes I despise The same old story Same lies, snake eyes I despise You'll get what you deserve Same lies, those snake eyes The fever builds and now my hairs are on ends I hate to be the one To break the mould and let insanity overcome Awash with feelings Drowned in guilt and remorse I should have killed you When I had you in my claws I'm a lone wolf Man I'm bulletproof I'm a lone wolf You'll get what you deserve

Cargo Cult 03:22
Choose your deity I am in death What I cannot be in life The path of least resistance Has been wearing thin Your ignorance is not A substitute for bliss Feign your wounds Maybe one day you'll be hit by a car Mistake the headlights for angels above Become a convert in a cargo cult Worship idols to the gaslight of misanthropes I am in death What I cannot be in life Return the soul to the soil Feign your wounds False afflictions with no burden of proof Pave the way For the rise of a new theme We can't survive without bargain bin deities
7.
Forget my name if you don't like the way It sits on your tongue I've got no use for your constant self-abuse Get it away Grinding my teeth on the back of your neck I haven't found anything sweeter than this You used to be the apple of my eye But now the fruit is rotten and I am blind I seek forgiveness, so please bear witness This is my battle cry We're all controlled by a deadly disease it seems It's found a way into our very thoughts And spits then out before we know they're gone Sinking my teeth into your fragile skin There still isn't anything better than this Forget my name If you don't like who I've become I tried to bury it all Inside my heart of stone I tried to bury you Inside my heart of stone You got no soul Heart of stone I tried to bury you

Are you sure that you want a war Are you sure you can handle the storm? As the sand flies skyward Your world is transformed Winds will rage and fire will scorch This land you claimed in the name of your Lord You disrespectful witch A broken spell is a curse I can't forgive The line has been drawn Transmuting your blood into echoes of what's been Dying All for the fighting No use in trying To silence the crying Your last breath defying My every implying Sense I am outlying This noose I am tying Will burden us all Are you sure that you want a war? This is war, a chance to even the odds Lay your weapons on the ground Before we raise the alarm Shield wall, watch as warriors fall Into rivers run red from the guts of animals Anger dulls the blade Your existence will be refused You'll be stamped out and life removed Your existence will be refused You'll be stamped out, a hollow figure of delude Stamp it out So that the planets will align At your resting place I need a reason to hate Caught in an illusion that I've sworn to desecrate Coward, you've turned your back On the single shred of hope That would have left your arms intact Let the death toll grow higher Are you sure you want a war? Let the death toll grow higher Are you sure you want this?

Turn the page let’s start another chapter of this new age I've got a feeling we'll be done before the dawn breaks Have you heard the news it's all doom and gloom We've been miss-sold the most basic of truths Acceptance of death is imperative Reject all notions of eternity If you can't see that God is dead What makes you think we could share heaven? When we can't share this earth? An eye for an eye is what they told us, But they're the ones with both eyes on ya All the hunger in this world and all the pain Are we the victims here? Or have we fucked our natural resources to the point of no return? It's time to cull the herd! It makes me sick Frenzied concubines procreating in feculence Have you heard the news it's all doom and gloom We've been miss-sold the most basic of truths Your god is dead and They've been buried in the back of a widow’s festered womb

Engorged, engrossed and bloated in form The modern human's fall into disrepair These machines can keep us breathing For as long as our hearts are beating Swoon, stillborn society Behold the discontent that echo’s in these walls A torture chamber filled with violence, I stand in awe Before a demon in digital form Lifeless and drawn to the swarm Feeding our egos with thoughts of grandeur and eternal pleasure Error incarnate Swoon, stillborn society Starving in our own virtual reality Encaged within an artificial depravity Oh Flesh impaired beyond hopes of a price To keep our senses under the knife Untangle the cord that's been keeping us all tied to the mother board Error incarnate I’ve lost the will To go on In this world Sway Unwavering tormemt Incarcerate Error incarnate I'm so glad to see what you've become Grotesque in stature, with a face so numb False phantoms avert our gaze From the crimes that come out to play As we enter a world of distraction A torture chamber filled with violence, I stand in awe Before a demon in digital form Lifeless and drawn to the swarm Untangle the cord that's been keeping us all tied to the mother board Error incarnate I've lost the will To go on In this world
