Evangelist 05:01
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.

Delusionist 04:38
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

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
