Kill II This - Another Cross To Bare lyrics



Tracks



01. Subversive

[Instrumental]

02. The Wicker Man

Swallow my fear, this land Godforsaken
Follow the cross, to this crass christless haven

On bended knee, you worship the carnal
To pleasure your gods, your sad graven idols

Burn bright
Sacrifice my life
Purify this land
The ritual plan
The wicker man

Born into your arms, in blood you baptise them
To bury your guilt, you'd bury your own children

Temptation infests, with deadly embrace
My sacred vows, forbidden to taste

03. Blessed Are The Blind

Without black we could not see the light
Without sight we could not see we're blind
Without death there'd be no life to mourn
Without sin there'd be no crown of thorns

Baptise my eyes
With rape and murder of a new design
This world's sweet caress
Read the signs
Blessed are the blind

There's no faith no faith worth dying for
There's no cause no cause worth killing for
There's no fate but the fate that we choose
All our lies help us to see the truth

Blessed are the meek - For they shall inherit the earth
Blessed are the blind - For they don't have to see this fucked up world

All our pain persecution the thrill
Craving for war our bloodthirst fulfilled
All I see corruption grieving and fear
Humanity our defection's so clear

04. Another Cross To Bare

Mass hypnosis in demand
Subconsciousness plays another hand
Ask the question 'Do I know who I am'
Reality a concept I can't understand
Fountain of truth, illusion of lies
How do I say I'm dying inside?
How to explain what I can't remember myself
I could never I could never

I'm the enemy, Apathy, Hypocrisy
I, I feel such pain, Guilt and shame
My faith is raped, One more heartache
Another cross to bare

Sign your fate your legacy
Invade my land preaching apathy
Teach the nation pure hypocrisy
Sacrifice your enemy in the name of democracy
Elected voice, body of the brave
Tongue for the dumb till they kingdom come
God only knows I don't know where the answer lies
I just don't know I just don't know
I am the enemy - apathy, I am the enemy - hypocrisy
Another cross to bare
I've got a cross to bare, I've got the whole world's cross to bare

05. Questions

Insecurity my one true friend
My symphony still my requiem
Tranquility still what I most hate
My philosophy breeds to spite your distaste

I who am I? What is this place?
Why am I here? Why am I here?

My oblivion stands my one true light
My repulsion has passed my heartaches a blast
My redemption my hell with which to reunite
My depression descends now I will arise

I will follow my hearse to my own funeral
I will rejoice in it's sadness
I will rejoice in my loved ones' tears
I will return back to my mother's womb
I will rejoice in it's silence
I will rejoice in it's darkness

I feel loneliness in a crowded room
My heaven's much like a desert dune
I cry out no-one hears tears God only knows
My emotional needs, how much my heart bleeds

06. Ascension

[Instrumental]

07. Bleeding

Sliceaway the streams of fear, Face the trauma, the black becomes clear
Feel the blade feel inner peace, Blood will flow like a pressure release

Cracked emotions
I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding
Problems deceased
I'm bleeding, my pressure's released

Carved my wrist but missed the vein, Way too shallow, my problems remain
My temple I desecrate, Can't face the future my past is my fate

You brought me flowers
It was more than you gave me when I was alive
Your cold eyes shed a tear
More emotion in a second than you showed me in a lifetime
You said that you will miss me
Then you bent down and kissed me
But the warmth had passed from your lips

08. Stillborn

Fivemonths and four to go
But now my unborn's fate I know
To cleanse me of my sins
Tomorrow my nightmare begins
In my hands here lies the power
Blessed by fate to choose the hour
The doubt within me grows
My predicament it clearly shows

My ignorance is bliss
Miscarriage is the shrine I kiss
Reality will not be missed
To suffer with only one aim
Can't heal the scars of such wasted pain
Stillborn, my blood was shed in vain

A nagging pain like a missing limb
The brutal truth I can sink or swim
Internal scars too deep to heal
Paralysed too cold for tears
Inject the poison inject my cure
Now without such wasted pain
Stillborn, my blood was shed in vain

To suffer with only one aim
To hasten what's preordained
Each day you grow
But soon I'll push till no life you will know
To suffer with only one aim
To hasten what's preordained

09. My Reality

Confusion,the world that I create
Reality, makes you suffocate
Well I've reached the point each leaper knows
Desperation and the symptom shows

Living is a waste of time
Pay the mortgage then you die
Living is a waste of time
Breathe in breathe out live the lie

It's reality, my reality

Survival, I will outlive your kind
Depression, depression as my bride
Temptation as the cancer grows
Yeah I've reached the point the point each hooker knows

And I know that God above
Must love me very much
For I have suffered the anguish of many men
I have taken the weight of the world
As rested on my shoulders
And have felt the wrath of wars
As fought inside my head

This nation's plastic paradise
Herod's children we're all sacrificed
An anchor sinking around my neck
Ain't no wonder I'm a fucking nervous wreck

10. Burn

[Instrumental]

11. Brainwash

Blessed are the words 'Of my free will', The God given right to decide
Yet I am the canvas for your design, Freedom of speech redefined

I am like a voice for all your words, A weapon for your empty hands
I am like a vision yet you are blind, The prey for your serpentine
You colour my creed, brainwashed belief, A puppet that's kept on a leash

Your weakness is my strength - Your hatred's my defence

I am the saviour for your battered faith, Sacred ground you violate
A burning alter, a quest divine, Broken like the bread and the wine
No prodigal son, your will will be done, An outcast til thy kingdom come

I am the victim, the hunted, the prey
Strangled you're my tourniquet
A born bloodsucker bleeding my mind
Swallow the sight of the blind
Embody all I detest, you'd steal my last breath
Tongue-twisted til the bitter end
