Can you feel it coming
Can you feel it closing in Looming all around us A horror waiting to begin Smell it in the air A sense of havoc growing strong the tides about the truth Poised to take us down And one by one we'll fall... Giants side by side And one by one we'll fall... The irony of our end Rage of silence builds A calm that's so deceitful We're our own prey Watching the night fall We can not stop this It pulls us under The tides now turning Poised to strike us down And one by one we'll fall... We'll slowly dissapear And one by one we'll fall... Our darkest day draws near We had it in our hands, we thought we had the power But controll was an illusion that finally defied us Took it all for granted, too little was too late Finally catching up to us, grandeur has a heavy cost Burn the world around us, incinerate the skies Fading into nothing, but what did we expect Now the final fury of our final hours In awe of what we've done, so beautiful to watch |

Miles to suffer
So much before us Confusion follows Fills the air The struggle ahead Will change us all Shock our conscious Test our strengths Walk through the fire Force our steps Weaken our hearts With chilling screams of death Death is creeping ar our backs We dread to think what lies ahead Hysteria exploding all around us Flames that touch the sky Numbing fear takes over Prepare yourself, for the worst is yet to come Cascading down like rain Our blood, our hopes, our being Learn to breathe The agression in It thrives in you Must forge on We believe This must be done Embracing madness We must forge on |

Believe in the liar
His words will convey Profound and charismatic Influence all to his side Tell them what they want to hear Keep the wolves at bay Swallow all the truth And spit deception out Together we'll pave the way To his omnipotence Calming all dissention Dissuading intervention Hiding sanity - Strangling reason Remove his wicked tongue - Or face the consequence Divide and conquer... uproot and tear down.. the world is his Provide the cause... cause the effect... create the hatred Extort our passions... extort our strenghts... force our hand Distort our vision... distort your promise... bending glory Undo the world - Unleash its fury Release our demons - Infect us all with your venom We saw it coming and watched him rise We did nothing to stop this mess A fool's kingdom, a fool's king We raised the liar and crowned the beast The lives of many... on the heels of victory... will know defeat He led us blindly... so blind in anger... we could not see The cries of reason... so loud their cries... fell on deaf ears We'll bear the scars... and take the pain... for one more day |

> You?ve left me in the filth
Youve left me here to die?Why? Look at how youve broken me Cant you see what you have done? Is it the devil in you? Or just a selfish heart? So much loyalty But devotion had a price I carried you, I help you up But you tried to drag me down All the fatal blows youve thrown at me You rubbed it in my face Now you are dead to me Your death will set me free Miles Ive walked for you But youve given not a step Remember all Ive done How quickly we forget Youve taken me away So far from who I was And almost pulled my soul Right out from under me Youve cast a thousand lashes I never said a word Another thousand lashes Left me screaming at the world Free Now Im free Youre dead to me Now Im free |

Forward moving, never slowing
A soulles machine that hungers for victory Tear through the soil, tear through the soul Power in motion, daunting procession Swift and cunning... Striking down the opposition Stand and fight... Resist its might and be erased Rolling forward, like thunder for glory Seizing the day, seizing the night All or nothing, and all it will take Breathing its chaos over the land Raining down... A storm of fire, intimidating Its poison touches all... For generations to come Cutting the throats and bleeding all hopes Tireless and savage, preying on fear Courting death, while trampling life Exist for the battle, live for the war Assume no blame... The blood it sheds, a purpose served And when it's done... We'll call it back to march again |

I can feel the weakness in you
It's just a matter of time Once I have control You'll never be the same I make you question faith Put your morals to the test Bend you into submission My essence you can not fight I'll show you things you've never seen Expose the darkness deep within Taste and feel a different world Leave behind all you were New heights of passion and the pleasure of pain Show no compassion, show no remorse My helpless slave, do as I say Indulge in me to the end Taunting And destructive Go ahead You know you want it Feel tmptation Just give in Taste it once You won't go back The easy path was clear to see The choice you made has brought you here Your broken life in front of me Spiral down into my arms |

All will hear my voice
Change the course of time My fury disrupts the world Reward me with wonders beyond my dreams So easy for me to believe So easy for me to see That the path I'm walking down Was chosen for me When the time has come, all will know my name And with these hands I will own the day tearing down the sun, leave my youth behind Only just a child, I will shed my life My innocence made me easy prey Stole my thoughts and fed me theirs Another faceless child, another holy soldier Ripped apart by lies and sent into the war I'm too far gone, it's taken control of me There's no tutning back My time has finally come For this moment, I am God I've sacrificed my life fot you And given everything I was Revere this precious gift of mine Your son will never rise again The world will watch me In a blaze od twisted glory Will you remember what I have done Or forget that I was your son |

Call us the Devil
But it's you who holds the darkest heart Call the weak to arms Savage words to your savage world Abusing control... Menacing all Call yourself the victim But it's you who walks a vicious path Call them to the mayhem For you they'll lay down with the dead Rabid conviction... uphold the threat A swarm of terror Across the land Spreading sickness to curse the world Punishing judgment Will bring the end Cast the nightmare to take down mankind A swarm of terror Across the land Spreading sickness to curse the world |

Not all of us choose to believe
Some of us choose to live Not all of us follow so blindly And accept all that we hear Maybe you're not so smart To look outside yourself Maybe you've chosen unwisely In the God you've made your own I'll be my own leader I'll be my own saviour I'll be the strength that carries I'll be the light that guides...me I will make you see Your devotion is in vain I'll be the one left standing When all of you are kneeling And smiling, so content I'll wipe the smiles off your faces Don't you dare pity me I've made my choice and I'll prove you wrong My voice will thunder through the heavens And my flames of hatred burn I believe in me and only me And I bow to no sovereign |

Silent is the storm that awaits
As our crumbling world starts to give way Falling around us a new kingdom rises billions of souls sinking and sinking The flames from below dance at our feet Soon to rise up and carry us through The burning gates ablaze in glory Marvel at the fall of man Glorious flames...Rise above Show us pain...and cleanse our world Our selfish eyes see no wrong Closer and closer to God we believe But farther and farther from grace we'll fall Closer and closer to our kingdom of fire Comfort us with words of hope We stare into the coming dark Blanket us with eternal night The sweetness of death upon our lips Far are we...From everlasting joy Close are we...To a world below A world of hate...A world of pain A world too blind to see A world of judgments ...A world of sadness A world void of truth A world of the power mad...A world of corrupted lives A world destroying itself ahead of its time A world of lust...A world of corrupted lives A world destroying itself ahead of its time A world of lust...A world of greed A world with no hope Bastard son, you spread your arms to suave us from ourselves This weak attempt has failed us so, just like your fabled father above This shadow you've cast upon our world still conceals the light So pick a God, for there's no one left that can save us from our end We'll beg for life We'll beg for forgiveness We'll beg for pity We'll beg to be closer to God Foolish souls will never see The closer to God the closer to our end For Christ can't undo this sorrow and pain For when he died his soul went below Glorious flames...Come us all Bring us closer...To a God Below Far are we...From everlasting joy Close are we...To a world below |

Messiah or man
To me you gave this bloodied crown And with it came such tragic folly such strong devotion from those so weak Lend me your soul...I'll fill it with fear Carry you high to where you can see The fall that awaits, so inviting and cold From the high place we'll fall below In death I am born From man to God Through blindness Your suffering Forced upon this cross...High above in shame Forced upon this pedestal...High above the blame Your blood holds my Kingdom high A kingdom built on fear and lies So sour has this bread and wine become For I am not a God, a martyr or a king I've bled as you bleed I've cried as you cry I've sinned as all of you I've died, as you will too But I see through your blindness And I wait for your fall Resurrected by your faith But I'll never walk this world again Hang me high above all and nail me to forever Never let me fall from this highest of places |

Son of highest
You are falling You are falling Not floating from out of the sky You deceive us You betray us You will not lift our hearts to eternity But leave a hole with despair We waited and waited Our crosses born And still you did not come And how does it feel As life passes by We will not know until we pass that you are a lie Will we receive the mark Of those who did not believe The temptations that are burning us alive But you tell us that there's sin in what we think For forgiveness we'll believe your every word but will you show us what our souls cry out to see No...No...No... Son of man, are you the son of God No...No...No... did you die to cleanse this world of sin No...No...No... Will you return from the dead to save the world again No...No...No... Has the blood you shed turned the darkness into light...No Son of highest You are falling You are falling not floating from out of the sky We waited and waited Our crosses born And still you did not come |

Cowards, with your empty hearts
And narrow minds...So bitter our confusion is overwhelming So aimless and misguided Your search for a higher power Something better than yourselves In a perfect world, your perfect god Is a coward just like you Watch them gather, they flock together For in numbers they feel strength Will you find your way to paradise, Through the darkness within your light To the children, they feed his body Peel his flesh from off the cross In his blood they'll wash away All the dirt from their souls Obedient young, they'll join the flock With minds like clay and hearts so pure Fill them with his words and fears And feed them to the waiting beast His open arms and splendid brilliance Devours those who can not see The dimming light from high above Vanquished by their higher coward How can you glorify and praise One so weak, imperfect and insane The magnitude of his madness is so clear In the eyes of the herd that he keeps Look what you have become Just another like all the rest |

Lay your hands...Your healing hands
Upon my flesh...My sinful flesh And heal this soul...My tormented soul For I am lost within this place The light I've seen for my entire life Won't guide my way...It's failing me You're failing me...And soon I'll see That with your death this passion dies My devotion to you was complete I've carried the weight of your cross The burden of life presses me These nails are in too deep My passion suffocates me Jesus you suffocate me Help me down From my cross I'm dying here My faith it fades I've suffered long My passion Lost in prayer I lost my soul Lost my way I followed you you led me deep Into despair Where there was hope Gloom was waiting My devotion to you was complete I've carried the weight of your cross The burden of life presses me These nails are in too deep My passion suffocates me Jesus you suffocate me |

I know this is my chosen path
To believe in no one but me I know this is my chosen path You've always kept the promise You've always kept the faith Well I never will and never had to I've sinned and sinned I've sinned and I will again According to your higher standards For this I'll go to hell You hypocrite, you never did Your truths are lies Your lies are so pathetic I'll never give up my soul for you I've sinned and sinned I've sinned and I will again To you I am darkness To you I have no soul The smoke from the flames Will rise up forever Put my hand in the fire Put my head in the flames I can believe I know it hurts My skin is melting I know its real My skin is melting And it feels so right To you I am darkness To you I have no soul the smoke from these flames Will rise up forever |

Take your heaven
And your hell And leave them for the children I refuse to believe these lies Show me you're real Prove your greatness Can you show me that you really loved us That you really died to save us from damnation I don't think you can, I don't think you will Divine illumination sees no path to forgiveness When the one who defies the lord i s cast out forever Banishment from the house of God is not what I fear For his kingdom is divided and his people shall stray I commend myself for this unpardonable sin For now more than ever I see clearer than before One above, how mighty are your wonders Your kingdom is everlasting, yet so empty Your saints have chosen sin over glory Your strength has diminished...My fallen one The misery that surrounds me, I'm repulsed by your name Your images has brought despair to the ones you've forsaken Your death I'll rejoice as you sickness disappears Lament in your own failure, for in death there is rebirth I commend myself for this unpardonable sin For now more than ever I see clearer than before |
