Where are we
Placed in time
The moon is high
A Rising tide
Raise everyone
But what would happen
If we had no technology
No ship to sail at sea
The raging waters
Will consume every thing we see
Would we be free without the limits of society
Or would we burn in the fires of desire
Does chaos mean our better parts will overcome
Or burn the world in greed and fire
We'd be like sheep to the slaughter
Ugh
Out there be wolves deceiving with a silver tongue
exploiting those with weaker minds to eat their young
While We could run to the mountains or the valleys
But they know the chase is better than the kill
Ugh
Life is
Is not the same
Is not the same as when we play
Play by their rules
A different point of view
Shall lead to unbecoming
Behold
The glorious
The glory of our time
Refining from the soil
It's buried deep
The savior of our tribe prepare to die
Run for your lives
You philistines deserve no right
No way of life
It's not for me to say
If you should live or die
It's not my fault (repeat)
We could rise up if we could look beyond
The differences that make us whole
But fear and hate will always get between
A dash of greed to fill the hole
To make us ripe for the harvest
The vultures come
And they descend
The vultures come
And they descend
Life is threatening the business plan
Embrace the fodder with cyanide
This world is simple
It's based on need
You know nothing in life is guaranteed
Fight, the struggling is all you have left
To leave the empty moments somewhat less hollow
Fear breeds something so common
The panic stricken stand in awe
This world is simple
It's based on need
You know nothing in life is guaranteed
We're all so simple
It's based on greed
You know nothing in life is fucking free

Demon of Hatred
04:55

Blaze
in the chaos swarm, and their bodies are blistering
there’s nothing left for you
there’s nothing left for anyone
Fire
as the demon runs, there is nothing to stop him now
while his mind was trapped for years
he said wouldn’t take shit from anyone
and he’d realize their fears
inspired
feel the burning hate, is burning bright as day
there is nothing left to do
we cannot be saved by anyone
Light
when the fire casts it’s glowing holy blaze
we are
denied
everything’s quiet now
we’ve made it through somehow
by the graces of god allowed
when will it come again
are we prepared for the end
why is no-one terrified
will no-one be left alive
to contemplate suicide
Ah
there was no need to wait
Ah
the wolf is coming now
he's going to burn it down
Ah
Die
or else bow down to me
nothing is ever what it seems
right
your throne is rightfully
torn in two torn in two
torn in two torn in two
torn in two torn in two
spite
it’s vengeance with delight
nothing is done without a reason
mine
this vengeance will be mine
the world is taking back the seasons
right
we will put back what’s right
nothing will escape this punishment
die
your throne is rightfully
torn in two torn in two
torn in two torn in two
torn in two torn in two

Cold
it’s growing cold
woe
of something old
the only comfort of living this nightmare
is knowing it’s only a dream
seized with terror
vacant gaze
weilding sabor
toxic haze
drawing nearer
raising blade
body’s weaker
it’s too late
lost
another soul
long
eternal woe
can I accept this existence of darkness
am I condemned to this hole
anticipation for death that’s unending
will I ever be whole
no turning back
it’s going black
no turning back

The Folly of Hubris
06:21

Bleeding for your life's work, your so sick of this
A Kafka nightmare; a modern Sisyphus
While they destroy the garden and pollute the air
As the masses run free with their eyes wild
And the cynical elite who treat you like a child
You fight at their game, but their rules are not fair
To fight against the machine, you are bound to lose
You don't have the right, you don't get to chose
They say failure's your fault, you must punish yourself, there is no one else
Nighttime
anticipate
forbidden thoughts
suppressing hate
I'm trying to kill the pain
Blindside
with the lies
You fool me twice
Get left behind
I'm dying to kill the shame
we can never understand the reason for our troubles and
to know if they’re without of from within
Or what the differences is
Agression is
To reconcile
the bitter truth
With denial
It can be hard to sit with the pain
Obsession is
Confusing the
Compulsion with
divinity
I'm not trying to be there again
And the color of your face is growing paler
Against the darkening of your eyes
Become
(There's nothing to it)
Greater
(They say, you know what they say, you know what they)
Reach out
(Don't fucking push it down)
You must realize
No don't push it down don't push it down don't push it down don't push it down

Wrong!
Doing what is wrong, doing what is almost right
not what is right, but what is wrong
This is the end of humanity
Wrong!
Doing what is wrong, doing what is almost right
not what is right, but what is wrong
This is the end of humanity
This is the end of the world
Wrong!
Doing what is wrong, doing what is almost right
not what is right, but what is
Wrong!
Doing what is wrong, doing what is almost right
not what is right
This is the end of humanity
This is the end of the world
This is the end of humanity
This is the end of the world
Fire!
they never listen to us
the water’s rising now
fire!
they never listen to us
the water’s rising now
the fires burning down
fire!
they never listen to us
the waters rising now
fire
they never listen to us
the water’s rising now
the fires burning down

Veni Vidi Vici

I fulfill my destiny
defeat them rightfully
become forever king
so these savages must fall
bring order to the Gaul
break them once and for all
I see their faces hanging on the wall
the shadows of their deeds are looming tall
purge, to form triumverant
and return triumphant
a genocide descend
I fulfill my destiny
defeat them rightfully
become forever king
so these savages must fall
bring order to the Gall
break them once and for all
oh, our coffers we shall fill
and those we do not kill
shall serve the Roman will
shape the course of history
name seared in memory
synonymous with king
(wait one bar)
i see it in your eyes that you’re afraid
I know forgiveness is a better way
forsake the olden ways just come with me and you’ll be saved
I know exactly what the people need
their loyalty will satisfy my greed
as nation cities burn beneath the iron hoof and heel
shall rise the great society that makes the world ideal
purge, to form triumverant
and return triumphant
a genocide descend
gladius at our sides
there is nowhere to hide
from the legions of legionary
And we shall ride below
to the battle fray and gallic woe
with the phalanx and the maniple
their wounds are festering
as the vermin run and the death bell ring
we will burn them down, down to the ground
capturing the king
for the ritual strangling
symbolically proclaiming me
caesar
dictator
for all time
this world is
this world is
this world is mine
