(1) AFTER THE DARKNESS
what you see before your eyes is not reality
what you see before your eyes is not the real world
what appears in your mind is not the truth
can't you see the deception that they put you thru
thoughts so surreal
blinding your vision
mocking your self
ridicule your decision
destroying your life
it's a fucking mess
controlling your fate
after the darkness
all thru time they lead you thru the past
all thru time they lead you blinded by shame
all your life force fed to regret
it's not your choice you can't forget
thoughts so surreal
blinding your vision
mocking your self
ridicule your decision
destroying your life
it's a fucking mess
controlling your fate
after the darkness
a shroud of blood covers the dead
the face of fear shall rise again
all dimensions of your world be sought
all the faces of the victims you never saw
a rippling effect of the turmoil before you
catatonic state affects but a few
removed from your memory
all the faces of the victims you never saw
thoughts so surreal
blinding your vision
mocking your self
ridicule your decision
destroying your life
it's a fucking mess
led thru a world of unforgiveness
after the darkness
the face of fear shall rise again
after the darkness

(2) COME WALK THE FIRE
come walk the fire
hidden beneath my screams
come walk the fire
a silent killer stalks my dreams
come talk to death
a never ending nightmare
come talk to death
remove this catatonic stare
don't be late
we'll open the gate
we'll let you in
drown you in sin
damnation
accursed past
you're not the first
you won't be the last
within the fire you'll feel the pain
within the fire you'll go insane
come walk the fire
it will control your life
come walk the fire
it will do you no good to fight
come down below
we want you
come down below
we want you dead
don't be late
we'll open the gate
we'll let you in
drown you in sin
there's no escape
you can never hide
try it once
you'll love suicide
want to see your fear
pain intensifies
you're gonna like it here
never gonna die
you were never alone
you never had a mind
we were always there
this is what you'll find

(3) MEMORIAL
can it be that the world I see is crumbling before my eyes
my sanity engulfed in blood as my family dies
screams fill the house
my suffering has just begun
I can't believe just what I see
Oh god what have I done
what have I done
their only son
floor stained in blood
temptation has won
now I can see
what is to be
the only way
the final day
so meticulous and thorough in my murdering way
matricide and patricide
a great way to end the day
I can't remember what had put these desires in my head
all I know is that my family is dead
hatred
animosity
temptation beckoning
the anger built inside me
and the tension grew
I can't recall what I've done
I don't have a clue
wake up in a cold sweat
at the ceiling I stare
turn my head and see
my mother standing there
she holds a knife and says to me
"son, we love you so, but dad and I feel that it's time for you to go."

The Black

(4) THE BLACK
blackened
discolor a mind
caught in a door between time
hatred concealed in black
judgement trapped
betrayal of those once known
revenge convicted within
uncertain of the words spoken
thoughts thrown into convulsion
see thru the time that has already passed
deception
confusion
rising fast
onward and onward
towards the black
mind frayed
lost in the past
no thoughts remain
no chance to see the truth inside of lies
the black lives with compromise
time killing pain
the agony of those lost
sorrow
in the world we lack
envision the end
witness the black
see thru the time that has already passed
deception
confusion
rising fast
onward and onward
towards the black
forgotten
look to another time
leave the past and confront your mind
onward and onward towards the black
deceive thoughts from the past
believe inside
retain your grasp
onward and onward towards the black
onward
direction inside
onward towards the black

Devil's Advocate
08:18
|

(5) DEVIL'S ADVOCATE
she reaches into your soul
she rips it into shreds
satanic inhibitions
maniacal indecision
she mesmerizes you with her stare
your mind shifts to lust
unholy thoughts of sin
satan is who you trust
amorous nightmare
a desolate cry
cascading downward
falling into an empty twilight
promiscuous advocate
his enraptured desire
contours his obsession
burning like a fire
abhorrent cries
screams confer a purged life
in oppressed obstinacy
mirrored images congregate his soul
enticed with her beauty
reaching for sanity
deceived by reality
deity of obsession
entranced with her beauty
yearning to embrace
to caress the cries
come with me
I'll help you die
thru the rites of suicide
she'll be well worth the wait
thru the flames you'll consummate

Kill Me If You Can

(6) KILL ME IF YOU CAN
kill the ones who loved
and kill all those who cared
the end has begun
kill me if you can
loved the ones I killed
I saw their fear
screaming as they died
kill me if you can
drunken killer in disguise
razors slice and hands are filled
down a beer and cut a throat
adrenaline rush and killing drive
with your blood
I'll get you
with your blood
I'll find you
run away
I'll get you
run away
I'll find you
run away
scream for me
I'll kill you
hanging by a thread
I think you should be dead
haven't lost my greed
killing is what I need
you deserve to die and death is here
the end is closing in
tears fill your eyes and hell draws near
you leave a life of sin
the shit that filled your head is thru
death has pulled your reigns
now your dead and the test for you is to rule the scorched terrain
why don't you stay awhile
you'll like my killing style
I'll do it nice and slow
then it's time for you to go
damned and sympathized
what are you
a cheap demand and unholy lies
time's up
payment due
you haven't lost
it's not a crime
ask me to
I will
you haven't lost
it's killing time
ask me to
I'll kill
drunken killer in disguise
razors slice and hands are filled
down a beer and cut a throat
adrenaline rush and killing drive
with your blood
I'll get you
with your blood
I'll find you
run away
I'll get you
run away
I'll find you
run away
scream for me
I'll kill you
mindless search for escape
looking back as they ran
a dagger in the back
kill me if you can
to all those who dropped before me
hell awaits
screaming as they died
kill me if you can

Infernal Aspirations

(7) INFERNAL ASPIRATIONS
what can we do to stop the madness
what can we do to end this sadness
can we terminate this playing with fire
as the inferno blasts us higher
flames surround us as we start to die
the impact of our screams begin to amplify
these tools of destruction that we create
control our lives
kill all we hate
death comes in thousands to those who wait
for the hands of radiation to seal our fate
parading corpses down the streets of life
punctures humanity's heart like a knife
all succumb
it will take your breath
all will die a painful death
paranoia rips our brains
creeps into our ears
terror stricken
fear inflicted
horrified thru the years
the carrier of annihilation finally arrives
burnt to ashes
cremating our lives
cadaverous remnants of the population
civilization
subject to mass immolation
do not worry the weapon is our friend
the final equation
something we can't comprehend
death comes in thousands to those who wait
for the hands of radiation to seal our fate
parading corpses down the streets of life
punctures humanity's heart like a knife
all succumb
it will take your breath
all will die a painful death

(8) EXCESS BAGGAGE
you keep bitching and nagging in that idiotic way
maybe I just have to kill you today
but living won't be the same without you
maybe I'll just have to kill myself too
I grab hold of a butcher knife
make two stabs and end your life
blood starts to flow as you hit the ground
it's just not the same without you around
place the knife at my chest but can't push it thru
a change of mind as I look at you
see you dead and don't feel so sad
maybe it won't be that bad
slice you up and put you in a bag
realize how fat you are as I feel it sag
take it and dump it in a ditch
finally gotten rid of that fucking bitch

(9) LOST SOULS... THE EPILOGUE
in the final hours
the walking dead
control the dreams
that pour into your head
led by the lust
cowering in fear
you can't deny the screams that you hear
satan's grasp takes hold of you
your soul dives down into the depths
blood lust grabs hold of you
the devil pulls out your last breath
immolation
immersed in the flames
absorbed in blood
dripping from your brain
bombarded with your sins
devout of honesty
can only hope your mind can set your spirit free
take your damnation with a brave face
don't disappoint your forever cursed race
the credits roll upon your life
the final act of your hidden strife
crushing end to a hopeless display
your reality blown away
encircled in the grief
a sanctity of disbelief
amorphous sanity
a prelude to fatality
living the curse of a mortal man
led by forces that take your hand and lead you down a road of sin
caressing the pain held within
painful memories of horrors you saw
as frozen specks of death begin to thaw
cross the threshold and slam the door
mounds of earth become your eternal floor
awaken to blackness that envelops your eyes
a sheet of darkness blankets the sky
death is everyone's desire
you can deny it and be labeled a liar
a realization a charge in your head
a moment of feeling and then you are dead
an inbred felony
a soul theft
exit our hero
stage left

Rented Asylum

(10) RENTED ASYLUM
I control your brain and read your thoughts
I inflict the pain and damage at any cost
I feed my adrenaline thru you
grasp hold of your heart and rip it in two
I control what you say and whisper into your ears
with your soul you will pay
I prey upon your fears
with my incestuous lust I betray your every trust
conceal a secret of sin and suppress the agony
battle the pain within and kneel before me
slide the needle into your vein
discard all thoughts that remain
awaiting death within your room
you lose your breath and lay motionless until your doom
you want the pain to subside and my home is the only place to hide
denial and aggravation
empty every vial with no hesitation
heart is pounding in your chest
feel a mile high
cardiac arrest
drop a mile till you die
you rented space within my walls
hide your face as you hear my calls
I'm always ready to heal and relieve the pain that you feel
you seek asylum
you found a friend
you can always find him
I'll be there till the end
as you lay dying in your final hour
I'll find another victim to devour

(11) WHEN BLACK SKIES TURN GREY
as I sit in my darkened world
watching black skies turn grey
I'm trapped in a living dream
knowing my life will never be the same
I write my blackened thoughts
silence the sorrow
watch the sky turn grey
all my dreams end
awakened by reality
I die slowly trying to end insanity
maybe the sky will turn from black to grey
caught staring in a mirror of hatred
soon to be a victim of demise
I only wish to laugh and play
to watch a new sky turn grey
I continue writing my blackened thoughts
following orders until I hear death's toll
black skies turn a darkened grey
hate leads to my insanity
I cry out loud praying for a passageway
a way to find my sanity
another man sits in my darkened world
watching pain inflict my thoughts
he is my passage way to insanity
I shall not return
I retrieve my thoughts
hand over my dreams of infliction
hate leads to suicide as truth blackens
the sky turns black instead of grey
I am taken by the police of dreams
never to look into the sky
I pray my soul ascends to heaven
or will the devil pitch my path of oppression
skies turn black
incandescent pain
hate leads to my insanity
I cry out loud praying for a passageway
a way to find my sanity
welcome to the house of pain
room 4891
the room of death and fear
cage of pain
fear echoes in my head
corruption runs rampant thru my mind
confession ends the pain and fear
pain sublimes
two and two make five
it's too late now
I sold you and you sold me
as I sit in my darkened world
watching black skies turn grey
I'm trapped in a living dream
knowing my life will never be the same

Worship
05:35

(12) WORSHIP
there's a man on the ceiling
spilling blood everywhere
I have the strangest feeling
that he's not really there
looking down from up above
spilling blood as if it were love
poisoning my soul and mind
falling down and losing time
wanting you to worship
is just a part of my greed
I'm nothing that you want
I'm everything that you need
one day you'll see the truth
and I will have the proof
everything that I do will be for you
dementia grips my brain
there's blood all around
another life is slain
another corpse hits the ground
laughing as you scream and cry
laughing as they die
I'll be there when I'm thru
and I'll be coming for you
the man fell from the ceiling
look into my face
the blood spilled I'm now feeling
finally finished this race
I look into your eyes and I can see
I've lost my grip upon reality
you're the reason I do the things I do
the reason I kill is because I love you
