Teach me how to believe
Evangelist
since hell is reserved for people like me
Will you spread the disease
Evangelist
uncalming fear of death that you feed.
There's a fire in the congregation
the word of the Lord sets us ablaze
no more waiting for manifestation
we're bringing down heaven today.
What's this weakness of mind
Evangelist
the will to stand on your own you can't find
Always leading the blind
Evangelist
the pawns you will play
out to your design
There's a fire in the congregation
the word of the Lord sets us ablaze
no more waiting for manifestation
we're bringing down heaven today.

Weak man
you are mine
you dangle from a string
in the madness I've designed
you obey unquestioning
you do my worst
then drink my words
to satisfy your primal thirst.
Anger, hatred, enemies
Which I provide
Weaving conspiracies
I bring you to my side.
I view people as living clay
formed and molded
in the things i say
Delusionist has taken full control
you fail to realize
And though you feel his jaws bear down
you're still consuming every lie.
Blind man
without sight
abandon Jesus Christ
and I will be your guide
I'll bring you prosperity
Just fall in line
we'll send a message
they cannot ignore this time.
Fear our strength, our unity
Our common goal
There's lots of money to be made
converting souls.
I've learned people are much the same
I control them in this power game.
Delusionist has taken full control
you fail to realize
And though you feel his jaws bear down
you're still consuming every lie.
You obey my words
I use you as dirt
Plant my seed in you
Reap your violent fruit.

They Live
03:25
|
|||
In this world we're not alone
enslaved by foes not widely known
a race of creatures I can see
but other people don't perceive
I was gifted second sight
to see the face behind the shell
subliminally they convey
their message: Marry, reproduce, Obey
In places all around you they are living
But locked in your perception you don't know
They're closing in on you
They're closing in on you
Over man they hold control
Sleeping on we'll never know
They live
We sleep

The Boundaries
02:58
|
|||
Life is a search for the elusive eye
the boundaries in society are dark and high
They pierce your heart and bleed your spirit dry
until a hollow shell of man is left with an empty mind
Through this life will you go on
Sheltered in your ideology?
You'll never see beyond the boundaries
the world where you belong
Greed and corruption make a soul divide
The truth belies the rotten smile you hide behind
A pale reflection marks your death inside
You are a victim of the choices you have made in life
Through this life will you go on
Sheltered in your ideology?
You'll never see beyond the boundaries
the world where you belong

Subservient
03:23
|
|||
Shepherd us into the warm embrace of your acceptance
Fill the void of one who was not there and
make me feel unalone make me feel as one
with this movement those who give their lives for you
Guide us our master in who we should be
Lead us in what we should do
Your words are the poison that's killing us all
Still we're subservient to you
Help us to discern the fiction from reality
and to distinguish who is friend and enemy
Give us someone we can trust and we can feel
Galvanize us with your powers as a god
Guide us
lead us
teach us
feed us
Make me feel alive
Guide us our master in who we should be
Lead us in what we should do
Your words are the poison that's killing us all
Still we're subservient to you

In Winter
05:29
|
|||
Cold grey fills me
the dead of winter
when no life sings
above the deathly calm
The sun retreats
behind a dark cloud
and birds take wing
to flee the coming gloom
In winter I feel alone cold
hollow
The season that steals my soul
frozen
holding out for spring to thaw my heart
The springs arrival
begins revival
and I can feel the life in me again
The sunny days will end
and all too soon the winter's here again
In winter I feel alone cold
hollow
The season that steals my soul
frozen

Iris
04:54
|
|||
The coldness in your eyes
hollow iris vacant stare
detached from what this world is
sorrow your shelter from despair
Peel back the dead skin from your heart
and let it shine a guiding pathway through the dark
Don't let them take your light away
You'll make it through this storm someday
The sun will pierce those clouds of grey
The day we dance again
I call out your name
from long distance shores
this withered half-embrace
is all we have to offer anymore
Peel back the dead skin from your heart
and let it shine a guiding pathway through the dark
Don't let them take your light away
You'll make it through this storm someday
The sun will pierce those clouds of grey
The day we dance again

Final Sleep
05:05
|
|||
WHAT HELL IS LIKE
Final sleep
has fallen on me
darkness encloses
consciousness slipping away
searing flame
consuming my soul
burning my body
melting flesh dripping away
from my still remains
OH THEIR EYES
ALL THAT I CAN SEE
THE TERROR
THE FIRE
Kept awake by piercing screams
people writhe in agony
those who are not unlike me
damned for all eternity
now we're longing for the grave
but not soul here can be saved
I'll in time accept my fate
but will I get used to the pain?
Oh make it go away
My judgement's been made
TO BURN HERE FOREVER
To BURN HERE FOREVER
The sun lights this place
was this all just a dream
a heaving sigh of relief
as I awake.

Seek Shelter
04:04
|
|||
A blood storm comes
seek shelter try to run
cut down no escape
what madness mankind creates
a crimson rain is flowing warm
seek shelter
Since when I was a child
I've viewed you through eyes of scorn
You are poison to my kind
Sever the line no more shall be born
a crimson rain is flowing warm
seek shelter from the coming storm
seek shelter
Tears stream down from your defeated face
hatred courses through my veins
and like a starving beast
I'm staring through you
A salivating beast I tear into you
I feel no shame
they've only themselves to blame
The crimson rain that stains us all
no shelter from the coming fall
no shelter

Patriot
04:18
|
|||
Stand with me start the fire
let's watch it all burn away
this country that we revile
this festering hole of decay
Gather together in anger
make useful work of their rage
prod at the beast with lies and fears
then open the door to its cage
Burn watch it burn
spread the fire fan the flame
Starve let them starve
no remorse bury shame
Stir our desire
Seek their blood make a change
Now bring it down
ashes dance on its grave
Swing low
Raise us from below
Swing low
Save us from below
Why have you forsaken all your brothers Patriot?
Did they strip away your love for others Patriot?

Sold Future
07:26
|
|||
A future sold an emptiness within
discouraged souls grieve a life that could have been
dreams are dust cast awind
torn from us lost again
the life's being drawn from me
in this dying world of apathy
Lost in darkness of eternal night
we search for the last rays of dawn
but facing futures so devoid of light
we lose the will to carry on
A future sold uniquely human sin
a sinking hole where a heart at once had been
leaving us to salvage what's left
looking down from the towers we built
the blood rises up in me
anger shakes me from this dreamless sleep
Lost in darkness of eternal night
we search for the last rays of dawn
but facing futures so devoid of light
we lose the will to carry on
There is no feeling to invest
Sold future
When hopes and dreams are in arrest
