Blackened

Blackened is the end, Winter it will send, Throwing all you see, Into obscurity

Death of mother earth, Never a rebirth, Evolution's end, Never will it mend

Never

Fire, To begin whipping dance of the dead, Blackened is the end, To begin whipping dance of the dead, Color our world blackened

Blistering of earth, Terminate its worth, Deadly nicotine, Kill what might have been

Callous frigid chill, Nothing left to kill, Never seen before, Breathing nevermore

Never

Fire, To begin whipping dance of the dead, Blackened is the end, To begin whipping dance of the dead, Color our world blackened

Blackened

Opposition...Contradiction...Premonition...Compromise Agitation...Violation...Mutilation...Planet dies Darkest color, Blistered earth, True death of life

Termination...Expiration...Cancellation...Human race Expectation...Liberation...Population...Lay to waste See our mother, Put to death, See our mother die

Smouldering decay, Take her breath away, Millions of our years, In minutes disappears

Darkening in vain, Decadence remains, All is said and done, Never is the sun

Never

Fire, To begin whipping dance of the dead, Blackened is the end, To begin whipping dance of the dead, Fire, Is the outcome of hypocrisy, Darkest potency, In the exit of humanity, Color our world blackened

Blackened

...And Justice For All

Halls of justice painted green, Money talks, Power wolves beset your door, Hear them stalking, Soon you'll please their appetite, They devour, Hammer of justice crushes you, Overpower

The ultimate in vanity, Exploiting their supremacy, I can't believe the things you say, I can't believe, I can't believe the price you pay, Nothing can save you

Justice is lost, Justice is raped, Justice is gone, Pulling your strings, Justice is done, Seeking no truth, Winning is all, Find it so grim, So true, So real

Apathy their stepping stone, So unfeeling, Hidden deep animosity, So deceiving, Through your eyes their light burns, Hoping to find, Inquisition sinking you, With prying minds

The ultimate in vanity, Exploiting their supremacy, I can't believe the things you say, I can't believe, I can't believe the price you pay, Nothing can save you

Justice is lost, Justice is raped, Justice is gone, Pulling your strings, Justice is done, Seeking no truth, Winning is all, Find it so grim, So true, So real

Lady justice has been raped, Truth assassin, Rolls of red tape seal your lips, Now you're done in, Their money tips her scales again, Make your deal, Just what is truth? I cannot tell, Cannot feel

The ultimate in vanity, Exploiting their supremacy, I can't believe the things you say, I can't believe, I can't believe the price you pay, Nothing can save you

Justice is lost, Justice is raped, Justice is gone, Pulling your strings, Justice is done, Seeking no truth, Winning is all, Find it so grim, So true, So real

Seeking no truth, Winning is all, Find it so grim, So true, So real

Eye OF The Beholder

Do you see what I see? Truth is an offence, You silence for your confidence

Do you hear what I hear? Doors are slamming shut, Limit your imagination, keep you where they must

Do you feel what I feel? Bittering distress, Who decides what you express?

Do you take what I take? Endurance is the word, Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd

Doesn't matter what you see, Or into it what you read, You can do it your own way, If it's done just how I say

Independence limited, Freedom of choice, Choice is made for you my friend, Freedom of speech, Speech is words that they will bend, Freedom with their exception

Do you fear what I fear? Living properly, Truths to you are lies to me

Do you choose what I choose? More alternatives, Energy derives from both the plus and negatives

Do you need what I need? Boundaries overthrown, Look inside, to each his own

Do you trust what I trust? Me, myself, and I, Penetrate the smoke screen, I see through the selfish lie

Doesn't matter what you see, Or into it what you read, You can do it your own way, If it's done just how I say

Independence limited, Freedom of choice, Choice is made for you my friend, Freedom of speech, Speech is words that they will bend, Freedom with their exception

Do you know what I know? Your money and your wealth, You silence just to hear yourself

Do you want what I want? Desire not a thing, I hunger after independence, lengthen freedom's ring

Doesn't matter what you see, Or into it what you read, You can do it your own way, If it's done just how I say

Independence limited, Freedom of choice, Choice is made for you my friend, Freedom of speech, Speech is words that they will bend, Freedom with their exception

Doesn't matter what you see, Or into it what you read, You can do it your own way, If it's done just how I say

One

I can't remember anything, Can't tell if this is true of dream, Deep down inside I feel to scream, This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me, I'm waking up, I cannot see, That there's not much left of me, Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death, Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real, In pumps life that I must feel, But can't look forward to reveal, Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me, Just like a wartime novelty, Tied to machines that make me be, Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death, Oh please God, wake me

Now the world is gone I'm just one, Oh God, help me hold my breath as I wish for death, Oh please God, help me

Darkness, imprisoning me, All that I see, Absolute horror, I cannot live, I cannot die, Trapped in myself, Body my holding cell

Landmine, Has taken my sight, Taken my speech, Taken my hearing, Taken my arms, Taken my legs, Taken my soul, Left me with life in hell

The Shortest Straw

Suspicion is your name, Your honesty to blame, Put dignity to shame, Dishonor, Witchhunt, modern day, Determining decay, The blatant disarray, Disfigure, The public eyes' disgrace, Defying common place, Unending paper chase, Unending

Deafening, Painstaking, Reckoning, This verticgo it doth bring

Shorstest straw, Challenge liberty, Downed by law, Live in infamy, Rub you raw, Witchhunt riding through, Shortest straw, The shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you, Shortest straw, Pulled for you, Shortest straw, Pulled for you, Shortest straw, Shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly, Discrimination, why? Your inner self to die, Intruding, Boubt sunk itself in you, It's teeth and talons through, Your living catch-22, Deluding

A mass hysteria, A megalomania, Reveal dementia, Reveal

Secretly, Silently, Certainly, In vertigo you will be

Shorstest straw, Challenge liberty, Downed by law, Live in infamy, Rub you raw, Witchhunt riding through, Shortest straw, The shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you, Shortest straw, Pulled for you, Shortest straw, Pulled for you, Shortest straw, Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you, Shortest straw, Pulled for you, Shortest straw, Pulled for you, Shortest straw, Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind you, hands are tied, Your being, ostracized, YOur hell is multiplied, Upending, The fallout has begun, Oppressive damage done, Your many turned to none, To nothing, You're reaching your nadir, Your will has disappeared, The lie is crystal clear, Defending

Channels red, One word said, Blacklisted, With vertigo make you dead

Shorstest straw, Challenge liberty, Downed by law, Live in infamy, Rub you raw, Witchhunt riding through, Shortest straw, The shortest straw has been pulled for you, Pulled for you

Harvester Of Sorrow

My life suffocates, Planting the seeds of hate, I've loved, turned to hate, Trapped far beyond my fate

I give, You take, This life taht I forsake, Been cheated of my youth, You turned this lie to truth

Anger, Misery, You'll suffer unto me

Harvester of sorrow, Language of the mad, Harvester of sorrow

Pure black looking clear, Your work is done soon here, Try getting back to me, Get back which used to be

Drink up, Shoot in, Let the beatings begin

Distributor of pain, Your loss becomes my gain

Anger, Misery, You'll suffer unto me

Harvester of sorrow, Language of the mad, Harvester of sorrow

All have said their prayers, Invade their nightmares, To see into my eyes, You'll find where murder lies,

Infanticide

Harvestor of sorrow, Language of the mad, Harvester of sorrow, Langauge of the mad, Harvester of sorrow

The Frayed Ends Of Sanity

Never hunger, Never prosper, I have fallen prey ot failure, Struggle within, Triggered again, Now the candle burns at both ends

Twisting under schizophrenia, Falling deep into dementia

Old habits reapear, Fighting the fear of fear, Growing conspiracy, Everyone's after me, Frayed ends of sanity, Hear them calling, Hear them calling me

Birth of terror, Death of much more, I'm the slave of fear, my captor, Never warnings, Spreading its wings, As I wait for the horror she brings, Loss of interest, question, wonder, Waves of fear they pull me under

Old habits reapear, Fighting the fear of fear, Growing conspiracy, Everyone's after me, Frayed ends of sanity, Hear them calling, Hear them calling me

Into ruin, I am sinking, Hostage of this nameless feeling, Hell is set free, Flooded I'll be, Feel the undertow inside me

Height, Hell, Time, Haste, Terror, Tension, Life, Death, Want, Waste, Mass depression

Old habits reapear, Fighting the fear of fear, Growing conspiracy, Everyone's after me, Frayed ends of sanity, Hear them calling, Hear them calling me

To Live Is To Die

When a man lies he murders some part of the world, These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives, All this I cannot bear to witness any longer, Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home

Dyers Eve

Dear Mother, Dear Father, What is this hell you have put me through, Believer, Deceiver, Day in day out live my life through you, Pushed onto me what's wrong or right, Hidden from this thing that they call life

Dear Mother, Dear Father, Every thought I'd think you'd disapprove, Curator, Dictator, Always censoring my every move, Children are seen but are not heard, Tear out everything inspired

Innocence, Torn from me without your shelter, Barred reality, I'm living blindly

Dear Mother, Dear Father, Time has frozen still what's left to be, Near Nothing, Say Nothing, Cannot face the fact I think for me, No guarantee, it's life as is, But damn you for not giving me my chance

Dear Mother, Dear Father, You've clipped my wings before I learned to fly, Unspoiled, Unspoken, I've out grown that fucking lullaby, Same thing I've always heard from you, Do as I say not as I do

Innocence, Torn from me without your shelter, Barred reality, I'm living blindly

I'm in hell without you, Cannot cope without you two, Shocked at the world that I see, Innocent victim please rescue me

Dear Mother, Dear Father, Hidden in this world you've made for me, I'm Seething, I'm Bleeding, Ripping wounds in me that never heal, Undying spite I feel for you, Living out this hell you always knew
