Holy servitude Ritually trained liturgy Baptized in faith and fear Force feed devotion Conditioned to be worthless Belief without reason Guided by the malleable law of superstition Fear instilled in the feeble minds Born from the ignorance of man Set the stage for subservient confusion Ideological indoctrination Forced into the fold The promise of eternal damnation Psychological intimidation Dehumanized A slave in this religious regime Mandatory atonement Integrity is in decay Holy servitude A pawn in this cult campaign Discourse ... is forbidden Made to follow ....follow blindly Separate heart and mind Infallible falsehood Perception is not reality Sacrifice truth for fable For the horror of abandon Reject spiritual powerlessness Oppose the mass disillusion Break free from the ties that bind Fear not the persecution Deny their god divine X2 Free yourself of this holy servitude

Sleepstalker 03:13
Sleep stalker I lie down and she turns out the lights Erase the day-I close my eyes Calm sets in- we speak in whispers Drift off to sleep-I softly kiss her Slip deep into unconsciousness Soon acting out parasomnial delusions Bodily sedition, fighting against rest, a slave to my mind Physical turmoil, judgement disabled, surrender to my thoughts Brought on by depression,or increased stress, my deepest fears manifest Hallucinations, Or an alcoholic rage? slow wave sleep stage It's unclear, so unclear Autonomic nervous system function, patterns of repeated behavior Unromantic, robotic assault, realized through this disorder A gentle brush against her legs, leads to violent groping Held down, pleas to stop, my hands around her neck choking Unyielding, unrelenting, my body performs it's task Nocturnal, sleep rape, all inhibitions collapse Beg me to stop I can not stop Beg me to stop I will not stop I'm the sleep stalker born into this madness I'm the sleep stalker I can't control my actions x2

Human Leeches Hidden away deep within ourselves The traits that once made us human But we have forgotten we have strayed We turned our backs to whats real Feed the leeches become the parasite Swallow it down bite the bullet Buy into delusion Until our lives are not our own No Captivated by wealth Always hunger never satisfied Fingers worked to bone A coffin a suit a tie a noose Idolized fame star worshiper Accept a life A life lived blinded Squandered ambitions You're not who you once were Parade deceit to save face Mountains built of regret Little left of your skin Reality is forgotten Forgotten and lost Pinch every penny you earn But you're still barely getting by You'll pay the highest price Nothing to show for it when you die Squandered ambitions You're not who you once were Parade deceit to save face

I am become death A distant threat is rising Causing concern, in the minds of our leaders Rumors of war, plan of attack Now is the time to act Burdened with brilliance , given an ambitious task A superior weapon create, an ender of wars In unprecedented secrecy ,On the (Jornado del muerto) journey of death Forging that which had only existed in theory From the fear of foes Our ruination was born Achieving critical mass Detonating the deadliest blast In peace science serves mankind In war it serves it's country Balance of power tested in the desert sands We now hold the key, the key to our own destruction I am become death I reign in ruin You can pray for peace As your cities are laid to waste x2 Unleashing......HELL !!!! Dominance displayed, for sixty miles seen Exterminate, the statement made, we will kill everything If the radiance of a thousand suns. Were to burst in the sky....at once That would be like the splendor..... of the mighty one From the fear of foes Our ruination was born Achieving critical mass Detonating the deadliest blast

"Almost haunted" His mind receptive-to warped perceptions Inherent conscience escapes, his deranged deception What lies were spoken, promises broken A living nightmare, you'll be spared but not by the grace of god Fiery veins turned frozen Hates seeds are sewn Demons controlling For years they've grown Ties that were once shared Meant little against his will Crumbling mental walls Anger drives to....kill As bleak as stone..his glazed eyes As pale as bone..Almost haunted Their naive trust abused .....misused against them His only goal..........utter revenge 7 bond..6 slain A lone survivor remains..remains His mind receptive- to warped perceptions Inherent conscience escapes- his deranged deception What lies were spoken, promises broken A living nightmare, you're spared,but not by the grace of god.. Not god Prey. Play dead.....In seconds you'll be next Pray. afraid.....you're forced to witness x2 Ashen bodies laid to rest, breathless The child's eulogy profound-yet misguided Amongst their headstones-They praise the highest But only this is eternal. The burial

Bath Salts 03:16
Bath salts Life hangs in the balance Resting on the edge of a blade The white light is calling Our hours are ticking away Weak willed a waste of flesh Searching for a high not yet found I've heard a fine white powder That can drop a man to the ground I've tired of all the drink and the drab I'd rather be cold and dead on a slab I yearn to escape The confines of my mind A dizzying dose of this dangerous stimulant Swallowed smoked or injected It could cause such an adverse effect Just one more time Just one more line But I know It's not enough It's never enough Until I loose I loose it all And change my ways Or face the grave Oh it's hard, so hard to bear This mundane existence we share x2 Eyes dilated Heartbeat increases Overdose Take this suicidal toke

"In need of redemption" The wages of sin-weigh heavily upon me A vulgar heart-not a victim of circumstance But loss was-a hard pill to swallow I revealed in the burden A man born without a soul A failure, falling apart in my own hands A wayworn traveler, forced to save myself My purpose unclear, no oath sworn, live like a whore In need of catharsis, Like a whore in need of redemption Mentally crippled unable Unable even to raise my head I've buried myself down. Down too far Six feet of soil to serve Endless mouthfuls of dirt- I deserve Forgo connection- for the lust of passion A twisted reverie x2 Searching for reason I am parting the seasons Everything happens by chance Because no one is guiding us Solo Craving a new life, I long for a new time This is not what we hoped for, leave all we know behind Put away all these childish things, for we've wasted our years We'll see them again someday. Cast aside all our fears Set our eyes on a new land But we venture unknowing Reconnect with reality Some unseen force drives us forward We must....we must change for ourselves We have waited so long ..we can't wait any longer. A second chance A failure, removing the mask A wayworn traveler, forced to save myself My purpose now clear Breaking the curse Like a whore in need of redemption

Spoken wounds You were my brother, you were my friend It was so hard for me to see you that way I couldn't deny you, deny you compassion But you took a mile for every inch that I gave As hard as I tried I can’t put the past behind me You were still on my mind With each passing day We're did it all go wrong Can’t it be turned around? You waged a war with yourself And you pushed me away You swore that the devil spoke to you When you were a child You played games with demons in the dark But it was all in your mind Oh how I wanted to believe you But I can't deny the truth It was just too much to comprehend Without a single grain of proof Those cloud angels faded and now your words can’t hold water This loss has twisted and infected you And all my faith in you wasted Shrouded clouded reality Each time I see you I feel it could be the last You’ve made choices I don’t understand And I won’t follow your path
