Open-mouth stares fracturing divide
Empty heart bare emotions coincide
Stolen lungs breathe momentary breath
Empty eyes see secondary death
Four cycles moving on
Three dark days and death is gone
Two wishes to fullfill
Only onenemy to kill
Onenemy
Open-mouth stares void of speech and dry
Empty heart bare where many failures lie
Stolen lungs breathe the air of darkest dread
Empty eyes see a life already dead
Claimed by the crippled hand of hate
Four cycles
Three dark days
Two wishes
Onenemy

Force your opinions on the mind of the young
Feeding poison to hungry souls
Prepare them for their self-destruction
Laughing as you watch them die
Lie to me your lie
Make your own concept of what's right and what's wrong
Feeding poison to hungry souls
Prepare to pay for your destruction
Your day of judgment draweth nigh
(Demoralize) Converting millions to your lies
(Demoralize) Your day of judgment draweth nigh
Reflecting your master
Creator of lies
Sowing disaster
Disaster you also shall reap
(Demoralize)
(Demoralize)
(Demoralize)
Demoralize
Demoralize
Your day of judgment draweth nigh
Demoralize
Your day of judgment draweth nigh

"You got a problem?" - "No."
"You got a problem?"
"You got a problem?"
Regression, affliction
Damaging myself again
Perfection, impervious
Desolate within
Foundation shift
Self inflict
"You got a problem?" - "No, he just looks like a troll doll."
Regression, remission
Challenging my own claim
Incessant resentment
No one else to blame
Reasoning drift
Self inflict
(Nameless scapegoat) You suffer for my failure
(Faceless victim) Wearing mask of blame
(Useless effort) To escape my humanity
(Worthless struggle) To avoid my self inflict
"You look like a troll doll."

Damaging myself again
Perfection, impervious
Desolate within
Internal glitch

"Bad dreams again?"
Here it is again: the voice that scares my thoughts away
Demands attention for itself, itself alone
Seems so unthreatening but promises a bitter sting
Soon my heart and mind become the battle zone
Push aside all reason, a sailor to the sirens call
Escape reality for temporary lies
Sometimes I can't believe the things I'll try to justify
Only more lies again
Get out of my head, leave me alone
You're no longer welcome here
A voice so sweet with words that kill
A wicked whisper in my ear
In my time of weakness is when I see your strength displayed
Screaming silently tickling my ear
Lie! I know who you really are
And I see your hatred masked behind your smile
Get out of my head, leave me alone
You're no longer welcome here
A voice so sweet with words that kill
A wicked whisper in my ear
"You can't see the eyes of the demon until he come callin'."
O wretched man so failure prone
Who will deliver me!
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but can I see?
"Bad dreams again?"

"Where are we going?" - "Use your imagination."
"Freeze! Don't move!"
Deep in the darkness without form and void
The hovering spirit of God
Man given life soon only to die
Fallen by deception
Dwell in the confines of mortality
Gripping the hand of despair
Children of dust blown by winds of distress
Into uncharted future stare
Again the night falls to darken our dawn
Silence, our lips seek refuge from harm again (from harm)
Children of trial, offspring of pain
Wounds of existence leave scars that remain (that remain)
Scarred hand of healing waits stretched from the sky
For those who would choose to receive
Chains of oppression, shackles of fear
Forever broken for those who draw near
From storm to shelter, from darkness to light
Wings cast a shadow, a haven from falling night
"Where are we going?"
(Scarred hand of healing waits stretched from the sky)
(Scarred hand of healing waits stretched from the sky)
(Scarred hand of healing waits stretched from the sky)
(Scarred hand of healing waits stretched from the sky)
Scarred hand of healing waits stretched from the sky
Scarred hand of healing waits stretched from the sky
From the sky, from the sky
Scarred hand of healing waiting, waiting from the sky
From the sky, from the sky, from the sky
Scarred hand of healing waiting, waiting from the sky
From the sky

"You've destroyed my life, and I hope you're happy."
"Who are you?"
World of illusion
Living a lie
Spiritual blindness
No sight from your eyes
Wisdom of ancients
Disturbed from her sleep
Returning with vengeance
Deceiving the weak
Darkness becomes a veil for those who believe
Emptiness becomes the trail of life for those deceived
"You again?"
"You're gambling with your feral soul"
Spirits of guidance
Masks of disguise
Seek your destruction
Consumed in their lies
Carefully brainwashed
Decisive design
Of him who controls you
Possesses your mind
Darkness becomes a veil for those who believe
Hopelessness becomes the trail of life for those deceived
"I believe in God!"
"You've destroyed my life, and I hope you're happy."
"Get me out of here!"
Darkness becomes a veil for those who believe
Misery becomes the trail of death for those deceived
Age of illusion
Processed untruth
Cosmic attraction
A synthetic spoof
Reality twisted
To fit your design
As Hell claims its victim
Now you're mine
"The truth never changes"
"Life with Jesus is endless hope, life without Him is a hopeless end."

O hound of Heaven, hear my cry!
Remorse for things that I have justified
My life's a book whose pages are well read
Of actions good and evil and thoughts inside my head
Sincerity, passing time will testify
Between intention and what will really be
For every idle word released, accountable, responsible
For each and every deed (small as it may seem)
Immortality, there is a price that must be paid
Indispensable laws that cannot be disobeyed
Circumstantial gravity, weight of great vitality
Warning to us all, beware!
In darkness a secret shines a light
Where eyes of truth and knowledge have their sight
Your life a book whose pages are well read
Of actions good and evil and thoughts inside your head
Eventually the winds of judgment will be stirred
A throne of white, the book of life referred
See death and Hell give up their dead as the books are being read
A record of each life (speaks for itself)
Immortality, there is a price that must be paid
Indispensable laws that cannot be disobeyed
Circumstantial gravity, weight of great vitality
Warning to us all, beware!

"I have a bad feeling about this."
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view; until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it."
"Let's dance!"
(There exists no dream worth chasing if it cannot satisfy)
(There exists no god worth serving if he cannot hear your cries)
Dig your claws into the earth
Struggle to attain
Holding on for all your worth
To what death will strip away
Your wealth
Your pride
Dissolved
In time
Reduced
To dust
Your worthless treasures rust
A camel through a needle's eye
For greed express no shame
You own no wealth that will provide
Salvation from Hell's flames
Your wealth
Your pride
Dissolved
In time
Reduced
To dust
Your worthless treasures rust
Your wealth
Your pride
Dissolved
In time
Reduced
To dust
Your worthless treasures rust
"I have a bad feeling about this."

"Go!"
"My soul is prepared! How is yours?"
"My soul is prepared! How is yours?"
Tear the holy to the ground
No remorse, no fear
No sense of what is right or wrong
And neither do you care
Interchange of truth and lie
Trading life for death
Contamination of the pure
And those you influence
Nothing sacred
Nothing sacred
Tear the holy to the ground
No remorse, no fear
No sense of what is right or wrong
And neither do you care
Corrupting what's been sanctified
Morality enslaved
Adding to the road to hell
And with which the path is paved
Nothing sacred
Nothing sacred
"Go!"
Skilled at stories and lies
Spill unholy light
Won't heed the warning cries
See who they betray
"Go!"
Tear the holy to the ground
No remorse, no fear
No sense of what is right or wrong
And neither do you care
Break apart the sacred vows
Mock the holy law
Judgment's hammer soon will fall
As never fell before
Nothing sacred
Nothing sacred
Skilled at stories and lies (nothing sacred)
Spill unholy light (nothing sacred)
Won't heed the warning cries (nothing sacred)
Won't heed the warning cries (nothing sacred)
"Go!"
("Go!")

"I do."
"By whose authority?"
"My own."
"Who are you?"
