01. You Think You Know

Come on!

Don't hang me, on another problem
I really don't give a fuck if you believe me
I can see that you were not the one to confide in
I cannot abide by you anymore
Can you shut, down the funky vibe and (get)
The fuck up, yeah, better believe me
You aren't heard anymore
You weren't able to silence
Resorted to violence
I've seen it before
Now get your ass out the door
Won't take shit anymore

You think you know, but you're horribly blind
You think you know how this story's defined
You think you know that your heart has gone cold inside
Fine

Get off me
You don't know where I've been
I'm all fucked up
Better believe me
I didn't care anymore, I opened up the device and
I gave into vice with you, little whore
God damn this, no one could believe that
I am this monster you believe in
There's nothing left anymore
You were the one who decided
Our souls were divided
I've heard it before
Won't take shit anymore

You think you know, but you're horribly blind
You think you know how this story's defined
You think you know that your heart has gone cold inside
Fine
You think you know, but it's all in your mind
You think you know just whose fate has been signed
You think you know just whose heart has gone cold this time
Mine

Well you can blame yourself
And you just might be right
For there is nothing left
Do you think its time to say goodbye?

You think you know, but you're horribly blind
You think you know how this story's defined
You think you know that your heart has gone cold inside
Fine
You think you know, but it's all in your mind
You think you know just whose fate has been signed
You think you know just whose heart has gone cold this time
Mine

02. Penance

In the perfect dark, a Botticellian angel exists
The elusive partner puts her key in my hand
A fairly simple gesture, shrouded in evil
As she distorts, it becomes easy to understand
Lost in her piercing eyes
As everything around me, dies

Well, can you make the nightmares go away
Can you pull the demon from inside?
Will penance make the nightmares go away?
And save me from this endless night

In the choking dark, I try to move, I'm unable
A hundred thousand moving creatures, tickle my flesh
I feel the heat, it's getting harder to breathe...
I feel the panic taking hold, for I'm beginning to understand
The only way I'll be saved
Is if someone breaks into my grave

Don't need it, don't want it
No more sedation, no more sedation
Don't need it, don't want it
Eradicate this endless aching inside

03. Vilify

As you vilify, every single move that I make
And try to bind me in your insanity
You'll come to know
That you never had control from the onset
Go find another lap dog, fucker
Your need to clarify
Every single word that I say
Has left me wrestling with our disparity
Leave me alone
Take another wretched soul on the hell-ride
Go find a more susceptible sucker

I can't believe this is happening
I don't wanna start over again
A stone I keep falling over again, and again, and again

When you vilify
You begin to nullify, everything that we've ever done
You're fucking with my head
As you vilify all I've ever given
I don't wanna fall apart anymore
I wanna end it right now
When you vilify, I start to ponder every battle ever fought
Every thought, imploding in my head
If you vilify, it's a bitter pill that I will force you to devour
Enough, why don't we end it right now?

I've had my fill, and I think I've had enough
When you open your mouth, every word incenses me
Don't wanna know, why your every waking moment
Revolves around, criticizing every part of me
Another bill, the number cannot be defined
For the blood and the soul, that had to flow incessantly
Fuck you all
And let every minute be a reminder of
How you let it all come crashing down

I can't believe this is happening
I don't wanna start over again
A stone I keep falling over again, and again, and again

When you vilify
You begin to nullify, everything that we've ever done
You're fucking with my head
As you vilify all I've ever given
I don't wanna fall apart anymore
I wanna end it right now
When you vilify, I start to ponder every battle ever fought
Every thought, imploding in my head
If you vilify, it's a bitter pill that I will force you to devour
Enough, why don't we end it right now?

And when you're broken, and bitter inside
And reality sucks, because you know I'm right
All over nothing, unforgiving inside
Well doesn't it suck, just to know I'm right?

When you vilify
You begin to nullify, everything that we've ever done
You're fucking with my head
As you vilify all I've ever given
I don't wanna fall apart anymore
I wanna end it right now
When you vilify, I start to ponder every battle ever fought
Every thought, imploding in my head
If you vilify, it's a bitter pill that I will force you to devour
Enough, why don't we end it right now?

05. Out Of Line

Huh
Hey
Huh

Don't give me your line
Won't let it go this time
And make a mockery of this obscenity
It's gotten out of control
Some poor unfortunate soul
Will pay the price again, to feed your vanity

The fascist face of the day
Contributes blood to the fray
And wreaks his devastation on humanity
He hears his own people cry
As countless innocents die
He stands defiant in his own insanity

Huh
Hey

Another child denied
Their human right to a life
Free from the shackles that assure their slavery
The monster in human skin

Employs abduction again
Collecting innocents to steal their purity

I see the global decline
While wealthy pockets are lined
The masses begging them to show some sympathy
Without a care in their heart
They let it all fall apart
Their twisted rationales have never made sense to me

It seems destruction is a form of success for you
These tragic visions of loss will never leave me
You try to justify the pain that you've brought
But you're out of line... you're out of line

Huh
Hey
Huh

Their Machiavellian minds
Concoct their wicked designs
They think they're standing on the side of destiny
Constricting freedom again
They've wrought the ultimate sin
They've made pariahs of the sons of liberty

And in the name of their god
They wage their war and applaud
The deadly dogma that controls society
Who fucking gave you the right
To spread perpetual night?
Your holy rationales have never made sense to me

It seems destruction is a form of success for you
These tragic visions of loss will never leave me
You try to justify the pain that you've brought
But you're out of line... you're out of line
You know I can't imagine anything less from you
Not a single word from your mouth is worth believing
No way to rectify the havoc you've wrought
No, you're out of line... you're out of line

I fear it coming, hear it coming again
A new apocalypse in sight
I see it coming, feel it coming again
We won't capitulate this time

(I feel it coming)
I feel it coming, hear it coming again.
(I hear it calling)
A new apocalypse in sight.
(You were born for this inside)
I see it coming, feel it coming again.
We won't capitulate this time.

It seems destruction is a form of success for you
These tragic visions of loss will never leave me
You try to justify the pain that you've brought
But you're out of line... you're out of line
You know I can't imagine anything less from you
Not a single word from your mouth is worth believing
No way to rectify the havoc you've wrought
No, you're out of line... you're out of line

Huh
Hey
Huh

06. Hunted

Behold the new design
Demonic worlds align
A new beginning, a world that was frozen in time
No thought of compromise
The smell of blood, stirring emotion
So darkly devoted, I have become

They yearn for genocide
Running from their fear of the dark
A new bleeding, a moment of turning the tide
A mortal enemy, fighting with eternal devotion
Becoming the nightmare they're running from

I...
Have fallen once before tonight
And I know... my
Mistake won't be repeated

Then you'll know why
You are burning alive
You're becoming unwhole
Now you will know what it's like
To become the animal

(become the animal)

A bloody legacy
Branded by the hunger within
A new meaning, a moment of felling the pain
A deadly tragedy,
Teeming with the threat of emotion
So deeply distorted, I had become
It isn't homicide, when you know they're already dead
The world bleeding
The last bit of sanity died
For what's inside of me
You will know your fear of the dark
And you now will be hunted, so flee before...

I...
Have fallen once before tonight
And I know my
Mistake won't be repeated

I...
Have fallen once before tonight
And I know my
Mistake won't be repeated

07. Opinion

Right before your eyes
Witness the travesty
The perpetrators of the crime are simply walking away
How the defenders of justice keep falling, and again, and again, you know...

That no one can deny
The horrors of our age
The puppets' intricate lies will never wash them away
They can't distract us from from all that's appalling again, and again, and again, and again

Are you blind?
Are you cold?
How can you say...

You don't have an opinion
And that you'll give me a reason
That there is nothing left worth believing
In this world that we're living in
(Oh)
Well I have an opinion
Oh...That there is always a reason
And their lies aren't worth believing
We have to show we're not giving in
(No)

The Wicked can't disguise
Their motives anyway
It's the ultimate crime
When we look the other way
And sit compliant while the devils keep stalling again, and again, and again, and again, and you...

You cannot justify
Your perfect apathy
Cast aside your indifference
Throw it away
And hear the voices of innocents calling again, and again, and again, and again

Are you blind?
Don't you know?

Oh you've got to fight for it
Don't let the villainous ones decide
How we define ourselves
And you profess to know
That ignorance is bliss
Now do you want to let them decide
Whether we're alive or dead

08. War Of Lies

Who was the one that stood beside you through the war of your life
Who stood defiant in the face of your enemy
Who was the one you could confide in when your adversaries made you run and hide
There's no messiah out there waiting to deliver you now
You've lost the war and have surrendered your sanity
What was before has now been scattered from the heavy devastation left behind

You made it happen again
Threw your cover away
Built battlements to stand for all time

You've waged your war of lies
Discarded your disguise

I was the one you said you could never a part of your life
I was the one who had a moment of clarity
Only a son, could stay devoted to a fabricator living their own lies
The ones who loved you can no longer be a part of you now
You're very deft at trying to garner their sympathy

You made it happen again
Threw your honor away
You may never learn until you're denied

You've waged your war of lies
Discarded your disguise
Seen through damnations eyes
You blame me for your lies

You don't get it
You won't let it
You won't ever admit your fucking lie
You don't get it
I won't let it
I won't believe this time

09. Haze

It's early morning
And the sun holds no redemption for me
And I then discover
All the scratches running up and down my spine
From the other night...ha

I stagger onward
And the pain is nearly crippling me
Such sweet destruction
I'm a glutton when the decadence tastes right...
Like the other night..ha

The euphoric feeling is so right
When it seizes control, all my inhibitions are left behind
And I know that reality really won't mind
A benevolent soul, who desires to leave all their cares behind

Later in the evening
I can hear all the vices calling to me
So I take another
Little taste, to liberate my mind
From the finest kind...ha

Yeah the night's beginning
And the sea of bodies crowd around me
Ready to remember
All the greatest moments lived in their lifetime
For another night...ha

I'm not the only one. Learn a little lesson from me
I'm a leviathan, focused on fulfilling a need
The faint of heart observe the bolder ones setting the bar
A feeding frenzy when the starving just forget where they are

You're in denial when you say you never wanted a taste
And you don't really want to let this stimulant go to waste
So don't deny it...go on and try it
I'm looking forward to the moment when your mind will fall in love with the haze

10. Through It All

I've been alone
Felt abandoned at times
Given into the fall
I can't forget what it's like

When I felt numb
And so hollow inside
You carried me through it all
Across the divide

And when I went through it all
You gave me your heart
I learned to forgive
And when I come through it all
I know you're the one
I'll never forget

I pray I'm the one
You'll never forget

I've been lost
I've felt ruined inside
Watched it all crumble
In the blink of an eye

You were strong
And so hopeful inside
Saved this fallen one
When I wanted to die

(You're the reason I'm still alive, the only reason I'm still alive)
(You're the reason that I survived, the only reason that I survived)

11. Wish

This is the first day of my last days
I built it up now I take it apart climbed up real high now fall down real far
No need for me to stay the last thing left I just threw it away
I put my faith in God and my trust in you
Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do

Wish there was something real wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you

I'm the one without a soul I'm the one with this big fucking hole
No new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to Hell
Gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
Don't think you're having all the fun
You know me I hate everyone

Wish there was something real wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you

I want to but I can't turn back
But I want to

12. A Part Of Me

What seems to be on your mind?
Creature from the other side
Keeper of the weak and benign
(You won't get it... you don't get it)
You see through demented eyes
The very being you once despised
Hell bent on controlling
The precious pieces held in new light

Can you feel reality rushing in?
Can you feel reality's crush again?

You want a part of me?
How 'bout the part of me that doesn't give a shit
You want a part of me
You're not the only one this time

It seems that your lust is blind
You make way for the goal in sight
Searching for another new high
(You won't get it... you don't get it)
Enthralled by a new device
You're a prisoner of your vice
You won't be controlling
Your new obsession pays you no mind

Can you feel reality rushing in?
Can you feel reality's crush again?

You want a part of me?
How 'bout the part of me that doesn't give a shit
You want a part of me
You're not the only one this time
You'll be the lonely one this time

And for a moment I
Felt like your suffering was enough
To let it go, but I
Delight in watching you fuck it up

You want a part of me?
How 'bout the part of me that doesn't give a shit
You want a part of me
You're not the only one this time
