Just a word all it takes to set it off Uncontrolled all restraint has been lost 말 한마디가 모든걸 터트린다 감당할 수 없는 모든 억제력을 잃어버리고 Absorbing more than I can stand Of these self defeating unreal demands 내가 감당할 수 없게 내 자신을 망가뜨리는 요구들에게 흡수당하고 Giving into frustrations command The devil makes good use with idle hands 좌절의 명령에 복종하고 악마는 게으른 자를 이용한다 Overwhelming desire to react I am too far gone forever turning back 무언가 하고 싶은 욕망에 휩싸인다 나는 너무 빠져들었다 Looking for something to lash out at Turning inward it is myself that I attack 무언가에게 퍼붓게 계속 뒤돌아보게 되지만 끝내 안으로 돌아보면서 내 자신을 타격한다 The anger grows inside everyday Unquechable I have become my own prey 매일매일 내 안의 분노는 커져가고 돌이킬 수 없게 나는 내자신의 먹이가 되간다 From where has this rage been spawned? Been building deep inside for far too long 어디서부터 이 분노가 나오는가? 너무나 오래 동안 내 안에서 커져간다 Forgotten memories buried and hidden creating my own emotional prison 잊혀진 추억은 묻혀지고 숨겨지고 내 감정으로 만들어진 감옥이 생겨난다 Can it be that i have lost? Control of my actions and my thoughts 혹시 내가 잃어버렸나? 내 행동과 감정들의 지휘력을 |

Here i go again A vicious Cycle without end Seeking distance for security A desperate act to remain free A balance point cannot be found This whole thing will come crashing down Down! Down! My fear will drag you down Into this world that i create Your love for me has sealed your fate Down! Down! My fear will drag you down Can I trust in what i feel? Praying that this time it's real Feel the strain! All this times been spent in vain MY SHAME! open wounds that still remain DECAY! As my faith is stripped away YOU'LL STRAY! The final price i have to pay Digger in deeper still The hollowness I yearn to fill The story always ends the same The cycle soon begins again Stepping outside the circle! |

Burning flame of Jah light a fire that will purify Wipe away the city's lies reducing fortunes into ash Tear apart your useless mask Nowhere left for you to hide Damned for your foolish pride Chant down Babylon Chant down Babylon Revelations time is now Your world will crumble to the ground Final judgement now has come this is armageddon A eulogy for the modern man enslaved and devoured By the strength of it's demands A eulogy for the modern man hide your head and cower Or be struck down where you stand To advance in truth and rights To advance in love and light The path of righteousness is leading The songs of I and I are pleading In the grace of Mt.

But tragedy is all I find! The panic builds up deep within the subconcious mind Always thought that the pain would end with the passage of time No matter how many layers deep you try to hide yourself They all crack and peel away to reveal something else From the past we must break free Come to terms with all that tortures me Tragic memories invade Let the storm winds wash them all away I will be the only one who is left to decide There will be no more that is left for compromise Break away from the curse of man's original sin Turn away as you stay hidden behind a twisted grin From the past we must break free Come to terms with all that tortures me Tragic memories invade Let the storm winds wash them all away Purified I stand before the flames As the ashes cover yesterday Imprisoned by actions of the past No use holding on Tragic memories invade Let the storm winds wash them all away Purified I stand before the flames As the ashes cover yesterday |

I am the heir of a damned kingdom. Born into a legacy of regret.
Searching for the promise of salvation. Overwhelmed by the tides of our despair. Been pulled deep into chasm. By the grip of our desire. THE GRIP OF OUR DESIRE. Must escape the weight of this depression. The choices that lead you to dismay. Who would save those who condemn themselves? CRIPPLE! Cripple your own savior. The failure, The failure of the devout. Set in motion by final sacrifice. Change begun in the name of righteousness. Infiltrated by greed, lust, and hatred. Once more corrupted by the hands of man. Been pulled deep into chasm. By the grip of our desire. Must escape the weight of this depression. The choices that lead you to dismay. The handsome mask of the devil. The lure of the cross! Of the dark! You violate the sacred with your greed. Prey upon people's misery and needs. With your greed, With your greed, With your greed! I am the heir of this damned kingdom. Born into a life of regret. Searching for a promise. That's no longer kept |

I only wanted to. Kill the pain and sorrow. Instead I buried you.
And killed the happiness in me. Can you hear the laughter. Coming from my grave? Suddenly it seems to me. That I am my own worst enemy. We can never hope to breathe. In this misery. Full speed with blinders on. Never stopped to see the horror. I think you always knew. I'd drag you down to hell with me. Suddenly it seems to me. That I am my own worst enemy. We can never hope to breathe. Tangled in this misery. Think of all I've said and done. All the fights I thought I won. Another scar for the chosen son. The ungodly one. How can I. Purge this venom from my veins? Your sweetest suicide. Drags you in and flips |

Lost without hoping to be found A willing exile, I turn away Rather face the endless silence Than the hopelessness and fear of today The ashes choke the sky Death's swift hand in disguise Awaiting the final call No use hesitating Are we fearful of how dark it's grown? The emptiness surrounds Cannot believe Refuse to think I'm on my own Who will be cast out?

Reflecting on this life. Through the eyes of ancients. The wisdom of beyond.
Chant! Chant them down. Down! Into nothing. This power screams out from within. Like the tree's that struggle towards the sun. Once again in due season we are reborn. Strike down the heathen. This must end. Swaying deeply in rhythm with the winds. There are eternal lessons within it's pulse. Raising their false banners of hope. Lies everlasting. Fighting to save their self interest. Dread uprising. An End to it all. Dread uprising. Watch as they fall. |

The echoes creep into your dreams. Torn awake from your sleep.
Unholy nightmare of savagery. THIS CAN NOT BE! The warmth soaks into your fingers and soaths away the pain. Frantically replays the days. The tattered clothes still drape your fame. Crimson cloaked memories. Blood soaked destiny. This can not be the way it seems. Incapable of these things. Lost of hold of demons inside of me. (The damage is done) The desolation that's inside of us. The violence lurks beneath the skin. (Beneath the skin) Do not be fooled by the quiet. (What I've become) The silent killer dwells within. The conclusion comes crashing in. This is happening once again. Can it be that I am capably murderous. |

Yearning for a caress hollow and empty, Unsheltered by the pain of the rest Not without justification, torn down for my compassion Free formed in emptiness Have I been cheated? Has all I have worked for been stolen away by disregarding what I most Yearned for? Relinquished all I deserve Fearing not for suffering, is my home and pain my native tongue? Loss and rejection are my family Nurture You are not the reason for my weakness Lost I hold you to blame for fearing love For my failure...accompany disaster and inherit the pain Torn down for my compassion now I stand alone Not sympathy just understanding I am shown Too far gone now, my thoughts are wise All alone because your taken so far A graceful end to life But its not over Disguised in a full mask of truth Those old words are denied With longing I recall Yearning for a caress hollow and empty, unsheltered by the pain of the rest Not without justifcation, torn down for my compassion, free formed in emptiness Repent what I feel Mourn disguised..as life's seas are paralyzed |

Dying over and over in my mind
As you twist the knife I wonder why Why you bothered to take this time Too concerned with yours, I should think of mine Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see) While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream) Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone) I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me) My pain is all inside Until razor and arm collide From my heart upon the floor Take my blood but you take more Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see) While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream) Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone) I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me) Take my life, you take more Of my life, take some more Just let me die Dying over and over in my mind As you twist the knife I wonder why Why you bothered to take this time Too concerned with yours, I should think of mine Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see) While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream) Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone) I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me) Of my life, take some more |

Past the winds of your morality
Behind yourslves the sands ran through They are the last ones to do action that brings comfort around you Nothing will be theirs to defend by they don't even bother to make it start Lies all around you is what you prove Wasting away to nothing inside of you All that which then rang true Lies and deception now show through Faith and belief in what was real can't be found in an emtpy shell Now as I watch your back I see your unity is a joke I'll take what is real over empty promises and lies I've not given away... to the hate at all In the hands of someone who appreciates..from this vile heart I pay such a price...death's face I've not given away..to the hate at all In the hands of someone who appreciates..from this vile heart I pay such a price Darkness left, wings of life drenched in blood Angel..Angel..Angel..Angel. Coming from your action creates a reaction Left within your brain, cannot sustain. Coming from your action creates a reaction Left within your brain, cannot sustain Those that I would call my friends whatever you gave that idea Did they ever do anything for you without the promise of something in return? Vanity and false humility allowed to take control of their lives But to walk with no others, with no regrets and search through emptiness of my life Coming from your action creates a reaction Left within your brain, cannot sustain |

Unseen wounds fade to the surface
Agony I cannot stand You don't know what I feel inside these eyes Staring through your shallow body into the lies Watching life pass before my eyesas I hang from the knot I tied Thinking of what I have left behind, from this life I am saved You've destroyed all I've made What will become of my legacy I don't know why I even bother Ending it all is the only answer to questions at hand The question of life and death to all answered at last When they find me gone and they know my plan They'll forget that they hate me and try to understand why I ended it all by choice While they cry and mourn I'll be peace at last Pray for the end..this life always feeling sorrow.. in life What I've experienced in this agonized depression Trying to understand and make the pain lessen Receving nothing from the love that you send I have found the only way to make the pain end You want me to look inside my head But its far to late to see whats bothering me when you already know my fate Dwell on your own life if you value it so much You don't beling in matters YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND |

Took a walk down my life today
Broken and empty roads are paved with regrets and guilt I have made Crushing what bits of hope remain Do you want to believe what I believe? I don't remember how to eat, sleep or breathe Trapped inside this state of decay You can't tell me that I don't want to stay I know my pain...burn the faces beyond Kill me long before I wake Take me to my sleep I wait Stifle my breath with every scream I don't know when I lost my dreams All my hopes, all my desires now extinguished in my wills fire. It is gone and I no longer care Come with me and some hate I'll share You see no pain in my eyes, that is just my clever disguise I will not cry to you, You will not see the truth Took a walk down my life today Broken and empty roads are paved with the regrets and guilt I have made crushing what bits of hope remain Do you want to believe what I believe? I don't remember how to eat sleep or breathe Trapped inside this state of decay You can't tell me that I don't want to stay Suffering...lifeless age....face the pain...life's sweet suffering |

The blood drips from your nose
With every lie you told And with all you took from me You're beggingfor insanity Thought I died in my sleep last night It's just wishful thinking The pain build behind my eyes So I will just keep on drinking No wrong or right Just wasting your life Fading into sleep The patterns all repeat As you hide inside your lies Inside your lies! My demise! Something you'll never know A secret left untold I'd rather let you down Then ever let you go! The darkness never seems to stop It's constantly creeping No more light, no more lies Deeper into hell I'm sinking No wrong or right Just wasting your life Fading into sleep The patterns all repeat As you hide inside your lies Inside your lies! My demise! As we wash the blood away Day breaks on another day Wasting your life No wrong or right, fading into sleep |

Stop searching the sky for answers
Black girlfriends avenge, black girlfriends My greatest gift is the lie we are given This is the price you pay For throwing your whole life away Why can you know yourself When your worlds were just one lie? Still I rise from the ashes, from the ashes Look inside, search for meaning Truth cannot survive, truth cannot survive Why fill the hate inside you? Why watch it burn? You hurt the boardings but you, you never learn This is the price you pay For throwing your whole life away Protect to understand You never redemption Still I rise from the ashes, from the ashes Look inside, search for meaning Truth cannot survive, truth cannot survive Still I rise from the ashes, from the ashes Look inside, search for meaning Truth cannot survive, truth cannot survive Watch it burn, the hate inside you No return, ignore the warning signs Still I rise from the ashes, from the ashes Look inside, search for meaning Truth cannot survive Still I rise from the ashes, from the ashes Look inside, search for meaning Truth cannot survive, truth cannot survive |

Until the philosophy
That holds one Race superior And another inferior Is finally and Permanently discredited And abandoned There will be... War! In the east War in the west War! Up north And in the south Prepare for war! Until the color of a man's skin Is no more significant Then the color of his eye There will be war... There will be war... War! In the east War in the west War! Up north And in the south Prepare for war! Prepare for war! Prepare for war! And until that day The world will not know peace We will fight if necessary And win this war... And win this war... Prepare for war! |

Slave to your seduction
Open myself to sweet destruction Pray for your affection Still I welcome this rejection Tear it down Into ruins It comes around The taste of fear When I see your face it haunts me The cold embrace, deceiving Surrounded by misery It's become to easy For someone like you to lie Always searching For a better way to say goodbye It's so hard to listen The hateful words you've always written All the lives you taken All the people you've forsaken It's become so easy For someone like you to lie Always searching For a better way to say goodbye The taste of fear The only thing that gets you high With no regrets I will let this feeling die |

Embrace the end
As we descend Deeper into the fire The pain that you feel The nightmare is reeling you in Grasping, crawling, clinging to life Holding on to illusions Tearing, feeding, tasting the blood As you savor the killing Welcome, welcome to the apocalypse A twisted smile upon the Devil's lips Strike out the sun Winter's begun Bringing the death of desire Shatter the seal The horsemen of doom ride again Grasping, crawling, clinging to life Holding on to illusions Tearing, feeding, tasting the blood As you savor the killing Welcome, welcome to the apocalypse A twisted smile upon the Devil's lips Embracing Embrace annihilation Embracing Embrace annihilation |

I watch it all collapse
It never seems to last As long as I need it to A beautiful mistake A wound without a trace Was it ever really true? We can't see the future We can't rewrite the past Tried to hold it captive But it faded all too fast Is it much too late To save yourself? Memories keep calling Deeper into fear I'm falling Lost within my mind it haunts me for so long Trapped beneath the glass Never a shadow cast A perfect picture's all I knew Lost within the struggle Never felt so much alive Gave into the rapture Didn't care if I survived Is it too much late To save yourself? Memories keep calling Deeper into fear I'm falling Lost within my mind It haunts me for so long All my hope is dying Even though I keep on trying Lost within my mind It haunts me for so long |

The dream inside of me is the death inside of you
Your indifference breeds indifference Realized way too late that your life was always fake It bends until it breaks illusions we've forsaken Our vision still remains Of a world that's lost and gone insane It's a chance we have to take Our only options are the ones we create Waiting for this day to come Thought I'd be left for dead but the light still shines ahead The whole world has come undone But we will carry on until your ways are dead and gone The answers can't be seen When hatred's all you've been living life on the offensive See through all the lies, destroy your last disguise Can't let this survive, refuse to compromise When do we place the blame? When all our mistakes are all the same Escape the ghosts we left behind And follow me 'til the end of time Waiting for this day to come Thought I'd be left for dead but the light still shines ahead The whole world has come undone But we will carry on until your ways are dead and gone Dead and gone, dead and gone The dream inside of me is the death inside of you Your indifference breeds indifference Realized way too late that your life was always fake It bends until it breaks illusions we've forsaken Our vision still remains Of a world that's lost and gone insane Escape the ghosts we left behind And follow me until the end of time Waiting for this day to come Thought I'd be left for dead but the light still shines ahead The whole world has come undone But we will carry on until your ways are dead and gone Dead and gone, dead and gone |

Threads of life they start to tear
hang above the pits, of our despair It seems the end is growing near The Life you knew will dissapear Every human life will overlap and intertwine Create the fabric and the destiny of all mankind START THE FIRES TILL THEY SURROUND They start the fires burning until they surround Is there nothing left, worth fighting for? FOREVERMORE, beneath the waterline sinking further down I dwell in silence now Awake and face the truth of all that you have lost a tongue tied explanation raining down from scattered thoughts START THE FIRES TILL THEY SURROUND Reinforce their doubts until they draw blood Is there nothing left, worth fighting for? FOREVERMORE, beneath the waterline Sinking further down, I dwell in silence now FOREVERMORE, I will leave this world behind Finally I drown I dwell in silence now |

What this all will mean to me In our minds We create our own reality BRUSHING PAST AS WORLDS COLLIDE! [?] THE COLORING OF SPACE IN TIME! [?] The stars give way As the skies are colorful Can we ever stop the bleeding There's no embrace Inside the colorful Never let it go NEVER LET IT GO! NEVER LET IT GO! The stars give way As the skies are colorful Can we ever stop the bleeding There's no embrace Inside the colorful Never let it go Embrace the peace and calm As water fills the lungs And vast the shade of deepest black Has overcome MAY WE BE TUCKED IN UNDER THE ART OF SIGHT! [?] SLICING THROUGH THE GREAT DIVIDE! [?] The stars give way As the skies are colorful Can we ever stop the bleeding There's no embrace Inside the colorful Never let it go NEVER LET IT GO! NEVER LET IT GO! |
