1. Empty Promises


You came to me with salvation,
saying I must repent.
You offer up your redemption,
a guarantee for a better life in your safe world.
Your illusions are comfort for your conscience.
My sacrifices will be made in honor of what is truly sacred.
How can you save me,
when you canīt save yourself?
You canīt save yourself.



2. Burn The Lies


Theyīre so persuasive, with their fucking lies.
Not an ounce of respect.
Theyīll do anything to sell deception.
Burn the lies.
Their words of ignorance.
Shove them back.
Back down their throats.
All that I have for you is hate.
They will quickly abandon,
what little morals they have.
Tell you that you are worth nothing,
with no regard for anyone.



3. Before Dishonor


What make you think everything is this world that you have can be taken away?
In a world this day, itīs kill or be killed.
I live each day like it might be my last.
In this lifetime few things are worth fighting for.
My Blood. Your Honor.
Everyone has a destiny.
Iīll choose my own.
I will not be a victim.
My cries wonīt go unheard
I got to fight for myself.
Iīll choose my own destiny and I wonīt let anyone take away what I hold do true.
I wonīt live in denial. And I wonīt turn the other cheek.
I must remain convicted and never accept this suffering.
Iīve learned from my mistakes and Iīve made a promise to myself.
I wonīt live in the past
Iīve been affected by your lies and Iīve let then hold me back.
I wasnīt thinking for myself.
I wasnīt living for myself.
What i have in my heart Iīll take to my grave.



4. Puritan


astard cries, feed the fire.
The burning desire to rob human life.
In this world full of fear of the unknown.
Twisting the perception of the weak.
Lying to progress.
Only achieving greed.
Seated behind the sun.
Myths bleed into one.
Searching for a saviour to lead us through this life.
Where our sanity is undone.
Killing against our will.
Killing for the bastard maker.
The fairy tale.
The non existent.
Salvation so bittersweet the taste brought fear to our tongues.
Preying on the weak.
Fatherless creation encased in the depths of humanity.
They continue to rape and call it purity.
I will not bow down because of out past.
I see now mankind was not meant to last.



5. Conceived Through An Act Of Violence


Thrown into this living hell.
I was thrown into this living hell.
I am the hatred taken from anotherīs life.
Born unwanted, extracted of all that is humane.
No one can relate to my abandonment.
I walk this earth alone in search of salvation.
Forever, Forever. Forever. Alone.
A tormented seed given a chance to grow.
The end result of moral choice.
Only to live a tortured life as the product of rape.
Under a motherīs face of innocence,
And a father with eyes of a demon.
Conceived through an act of violence.
I was thrown into this living hell.
I didnīt ask to be this way.
I was thrown into this living hell.



6. Afflicted Past


Hatred evokes the memories that make your blood run cold.
Fear and sorrow push you away from yourself.

How can you face the world?
When you canīt face the mirror.
How can you leave your past?
With blood on your hands?
Can you run away all your life?
Can you escape your punishment?
How many times can you start it all again?
How many lies will it take to cover your tracks?

Mo matter how far you go
Those days are right behind.
The facade of your perfect life.
Cannot hide your perfect past.
There is no escape.



7. Prepar For War


Drifting by the heavens unscarred.
Yet unhealed before a bleeding cross.
Thrown into the ash.
Crumbling.
Iīve been crossed.
Like the lies on a clocks face.
Iīve been fed lies I canīt comprehend.
Iīve become but a mere seed again.
And Iīll prophesize the end.
Now.
I have yet begun to fight.
There is no fear in my heart.
No cause worthy of my respect.
In the end Iīll rot.
I wonīt fall prey to deception.
Deception is the means by which they profit.
Deceit if their hearts.
Evil within their souls.
The cruelty by which they exploit will not be part of my life.



8. Not One Truth


Living as we rot,
Showered with shadows of dreams devoured.
Our souls descend into endless seas of sin.
Thereīs no turning back.
No repenting, no remorse.
Hate stricken creation.
I realize in this world.
There is not one truth cast into stone.
Only lies cast into flames.
Itīs time to burn.
Burn alive.
Burn at the stake.
Our eyes crystal clear,
our bodies frozen with fear,
and thereīs nothing to save us now from endless suffering and solitude.
Weīve lost the chance to save this dying world.
So we pay the price,
of which no one can afford.
This is our last breath.
The first in a world.



9. Betrayed By Life


In a cold unforgiving world,
alone with fear and weakness,
oppressed and dying slowly.
Countless people have been betrayed by life.
No one is exempt.
No one is safe.
So many lives will be taken.
So many lives been ruined.
So many live hang is balance.
So many lives have been lost.
Betrayed by life.
As survivors we are left to try there tears.
We are left to mend their wounds.
We are left to pick up the pieces of those who have been betrayed by life.



10. Mark My Words


I was so blind.
I couldnīt see the truth.
I was unable to see how my life was being used.
To be something so miniscule.
Everything I thought was so definite,
I thought was so real was thrown away and will be remembered among unpaling hatred.

Consider my suffering.
Through all your pain.
Remember my face.
Iīm digging your grave.
Since when was so sacred,
turning into something so wrong.
Something so important to me.
Cheapened and exploited.
I wonīt be that way,
I canīt, I canīt be that way again.
I canīt, I wonīt, I will never let it.

For the rest of your fucking life you will mark my words.



11. Last Breath


All the prayers in the world canīt bring you back.
Itīs your last breath, this is our last breath.
Taken from this earth without warning.
Victim of the ultimate injustice.
Nothing will ever make sense of this.
Nothing could have prepared me.
All that is left are memories,
and the pieces of a shattered existence.
I wish I could bring back.
I felt you last breath.
All the prayers in the world canīt bring you back.



12. Burial For The Living


No on can redeem themselves,
no one can be saved.
In a dying world filled with enslavement and endless apathy.
A tortured past and not much future a tattered earth remains,
destitute and alone in madness.
Burial for the living.
Our earth stripped of wealth.
Burial of the living.
Our bodies drained of life.
In a world full of enemies,
Iīm an enemy of the world.
There is only so long we have to live,
our dying days are spent waiting for history to repeat itself.
Our only hope is vengeance.



13. Worlds Apart


Conditioned to feel nothing.
We turn our backs on all the crimes.
They say what we donīt know wont hurt us,
but nothing could be further form the truth.
Cries fall on deaf ears,
and the killing continues.

In your uncaring life - we are worlds apart.
In this race doomed to fail - we are worlds apart.
In this system you support - we are worlds apart.
In my soul - we are worlds apart.



14. Driven By Suffering


Every seconds breath life into a reason for dying.
Our ignorance will only stunt our final will to live.
Bound and Gagged.
I feel forced back in a losing race.
Iīve been stepped on and passed by but I have enough hope to keep fighting.
All of my pain.
Driven by suffering
Every single choice I must make.
Driven by suffering.
