Follow the Sheep 05:11
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been falling down, changing the patterns I am watching now, focused on failure Living the dream, is that what they call this? Cash in and deceive, on all that you’ve known Negotiating all of your fear, no sense to figure it out Follow the sheep and hold back the tears No turning back now Do you fail to exist, once you are senseless? Throwing integrity, into a hole Put on a mask, or give up completely Don’t think for yourself, stand in line Another lesson learned, no matter what the outcome My patience is lost, lost, lost, lost Is this failure now? Reconstructing life Closing my eyes, closing my mind

Ingrate 04:06
lyrics

Shut your mouth, accept the truth Nothing will be handed to you I’m not impressed with your lies Bite your tongue Wipe that smile off your face, soon you will get yours With my hand I’ll force you down, bleed Erase the concept of your life from existence I’m persistent to destroy your world The last minutes of your life, are in my control Now that you see - Your life is ending Now give to me everything that you can see – God can’t save you now I failed to see the worth in this fantasy – Invented by man Fate, destiny, your end

A Lonely Death 06:25
lyrics

A lonely life I lead consumed by these lies I bear In my mind blank stares controlling me through this An empty shell I have become now Fill the void with nothing at all, nothing at all My father still rejects me Because I will not follow But I am not a machine Never will be controlled Obey, defend, life The only thing you truly own Honor, accept, death The end that we’re all forced to know All life leads to death A lonely death, we all die alone

Casket 06:06
lyrics
buy track
Mechanical lives, dysfunctional soul Follow me down into this hole Separate the limbs from the lions Decimate the face of the fool Entombed in a shadow of regretful dissonance The black clouds tear apart the truth Into the air the ashes disperse, to touch the veins of god Beliefs are lies that numb the mind Cleanse this pitiful human race now Escape this Erase this Betray this You will lie awake

Eternally Stained 10:07
lyrics
buy track
This emptiness is imminent, scars never leave the mind Atonement is not for all, I choose to move on I feel the thorn still in me, tearing me apart so slow I hold this hatred deeply in my soul Break free from the guilt of our father Eternally stained As the years fade I’ve washed it all away Still it remains Cover the eyes of your children, filter their minds and feed them lies Sit and listen, obey and follow ideas from a broken lonely man Bless yourself, bless yourself with the finger you use to judge Painting the world black won’t make it go away For reasons I’ve come to believe, I carry this burden of shame As life is slowly fading away, I feel smothered with the blame I feel the thorn still in me, tearing me apart so slow I hold this hatred deeply in my soul Break free from the guilt of our father Eternally stained As the years fade I’ve washed it all away Still it remains A tortured mind from mental neglect Is how I see myself A darkened hole this world reflects Guilt served on a platter A blank page is all they see, I failed to become what was planned for me Backed into a corner, guilted to believe I feel the thorn still in me, tearing me apart so slow I hold this hatred deeply in my soul Break free from the guilt of our father Eternally stained As the years fade I’ve washed it all away Still it remains

Broken and Frayed 03:58
lyrics

Born on this rock With no soul to give No reason to live No reason to live As time stands still We wither away Left broken and frayed Broken and Frayed To live with your choice And take to the grave As the memories fade As the memories fade Fade

The Curse 07:37
lyrics
buy track
Slowly ascending a mountain of flesh Summit arising, fountain of death Legions from hell wave after wave Cascades of blood, disrupt this violent orchestra The melody, the verse Concludes with killing everyone you’ve ever known To always know the curse Your mortal life ending is inevitable All the eyes of the world descend upon a single man His prior and future actions determine the fate of the damned Freed from its satanic internal structure The planet implodes Destroying all above and below Fire escapes choked off by the vacuum of space

Eat the Rain 05:53
lyrics
buy track
Our nation is suffering constantly faltering Weakened and wasted we all fall as one To the dust from once we came Slaves to society, failure, sobriety Backed into a corner to feed Oil for the machine Weakened, wasted, worthless, lives Bury your dreams, deep inside We’re killing ourselves to stay alive Emptiness consumes me, a face without a name Ignorance compels me, I choose to eat the rain Our planet is dying yet still we ignore it Wrapped up in our selfish needs The human race equals greed Such beauty this presence of nature around us Yet there’s so many who’ll never see Turn off the tv Brainwashed, anxious, labeled, minds Bury your dreams, deep inside We’re killing ourselves to stay alive Emptiness consumes me, a face without a name Ignorance compels me, I choose to eat the rain Breaking the walls that hold you back Let it go Breaking the chains that hold you down Let it free

Coma of Greed 09:28
lyrics
buy track
Bodies are burning, tables are turning Expect a radical change A dying planet, evolving world Mankind is failure at best A future of nothing, turmoil and greed The rich man and his bastard seed Inflation, the center that divides us all Invisible numbers, caging us in Forcing this upon ourselves Wasting every chance that’s left Killing ourselves through neglect Guilty conscience, forceful hands This world must end Unraveling beauty of this world decayed What once pure and breathtaking, now diluted and frayed I feel it in my blood in these tears of rain Death brings only more death Death brings only more pain Flesh robots, dreaming in a dream Awaiting the apocalypse, hearing the silent screams Unraveling beauty of this world decayed What once pure and breathtaking, now diluted and frayed I feel it in my blood in these tears of rain Death brings only more death Death brings only more pain Mindless ghosts, drifting with the breeze Following the leader, destroying what we please Stop this constant strain, don’t flush our world down the drain The systems failure is soon to emerge This corporate filth is on the verge A past of shame, deceit and uncertainty The worlds evil lies were hidden from me Blacked out all which wasn’t worthy Forced to believe what’s laid out in front of me Breaking through was more than a journey Countless moments of terror and fear Scars inside outweigh the purity Through bloodshot eyes this world, this vision, comes clearer End all of this madness Awaken from your coma of greed
