Victor
02:47
|
|||
|
wake up
the nightmare's over
the beast is gone
messy cage
and old newspapers
the trap's been sprung
to taste one's own medicine
it's not a pretty picture
for if the table turns
the victim becomes the victor
brainwashed
manipulated
into submission
slandered
blackmail
fear of retaliation
a taste of your own medicine
it's not a pretty picture
once the tables are turned
the victim becomes the victor
swallow your own medicine
smash the pretty picture
finally the tables have turned
and I am now the victor

Assume & Accuse
04:24
|
|||
|
you assume
and you
accuse me of wrong
you consume
and you
abuse me once more
…and now we’re
tangled in the webs again
…as the candle
burns at both ends
…and jesus wept for us
my friend (til the end)
i presume
and i
confuse your commands
i resume
and i refuse your order
…and now we’re tangled in the webs again
…as the candle
burns at both ends
…and jesus wept for us
my friend (til the end)
you assume
(god eat god)
you accuse
(god eat god)

Fist Of Fate
02:03
|
|||
|
i have my own philosophy
choose to live like a mercenary
cut loose on a killin’ spree
make-believe i am a deity
all feelings cease to exist
can’t get better than this
headfirst into the abyss
your fate sealed with a kiss
what is this atrocity?
satisfy my curiosity
i have become a monstrosity
shunned away by society
all feelings cease to exist
must get better than this
headlong through the abyss
my fate sealed with a kiss
…and the plot takes a twist
in case you might have missed
my fist is on your list
in case you might have missed
my fist is on your list
case dismissed
fist of fate
it’s too late
fist of fate

Lonesome Road
03:48
|
|||
|
runnin’ from my own truth
i lost myself
somewhere along the way
but i think i can do this
on my own
i’ll find my way right down
that lonesome road
huntin’ down my demons
been draggin’ a whole lotta pain around this world
but i think i can do this
on my own
i’ll find my way right down
that lonesome road
and i’ll be ridin’ the monsters
all the way back home
down this trail of bitter souls
i’ve known

The Searcher
09:15
|
|||
|
if i run off again
will i find my way back home?
even though
they wanted to break you
they tried so hard to erase you
yet still they could not hurt you
but you
kept comin’ back for more
send the dogs out…
they put their chains all around you
and tried so hard to run through you
but they could never exploit you
and you keep comin’ back for more
send the dogs out…
do you hear that?
what do i do now?
when does this end?
arent’t you scared of dyin’?
ain’t ya scared now?
come on love me
come on hate me
come on kill me
anything
just let me know you’re there
let me know
your running days are over
gotta find your own way
can’t you hear
that god above you?
he’ll return again one day
when there’s nothing
to come back for
and i leave this world alone
lest i be forgotten
but i’ll return again one day

Running Out
02:36
|

|
oh, you’re running out of time
oh, you’re running out of time
oh, you’re running out of time
oh, you’re running out
without empathy
stand alone amongst the sun
guilty for thy brother
black heart beating so faster
you’re running out of time
oh, you’re running out of time
oh, you’re running out of time
oh, you’re running out
oh, you’re running out of time
oh, you’re running out of time
oh, you’re running out of time
oh, you’re running out
without sympathy
lay dead amongst the sun
to the tomb by his brother
never knew the dream he was after
you’re running out of time
oh, you’re running out of time
oh, you’re running out of time
oh, you’re running out

Horror Of The Deep
03:29
|
|||
|
can’t sink the swarm
pushed through the throng again
see what lurks so below
see what lurketh down below
lurketh serpentalia
lurker thalassaphobia
swarm hive mind dementia
even hearts die below
even hearts die alone
horror of the deep
so unknown
horror of the deep
so unknown
horror of the deep
so unknown
out in the deep all alone
out in the deep all alone
out in the deep all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone

Teratorn
02:58
|
|||
|
this is the day
the day that i’ve known
and even though i can’t let go
taken by storm
the seeds that i’ve sown
the minute i know
i won’t let go
eye to eye
face to face
prepare
to meet thy doom
eye to eye
face to face
prepare
to meet thy doom
thrown to the wolves
reap what i’ve sown
the tension growns
i won’t let go
eye to eye
face to face
prepare
to meet thy doom
eye to eye
face to face
prepare
to seal my tomb

Who Goes There?
07:00
|
|||
|
cell intruder
derelict vessel
incel complex
o magnum mysterium
fantasmagoriana
psychic vampire
lifelong dracula
oculus sinister
crimson delight
who goes there?
wake the sleeper
mirror darkness
visual snowstorm
assimilation complete
who goes there?
i look into their faces
and i see nothing
i have no emotion
i have no thing
who goes there?
