Strength

Yesterday I had a vision of you, you were screaming
Endless pain, so much loss
The end of hope, the birth of fear
Is this the end?
Will you believe that I’m you’re friend?
I will not leave you
Is this the end?
I will not leave you
Arms stretched out beside you, palms turned upward
Facing the sky with an endless scream
Try to find your inner strength, turn grief into hatred
Yesterday I had a vision of you, you were screaming
Endless Pain, so much loss,
The end of hope, the birth of fear
Is this the end?
I will not leave you
Time to open your eyes, a new beginning
Bend your sorrow, to make a fist
Find your reason to focus the hatred, open up and let it all out
Yesterday I had a vision of you, you were screaming
Endless pain, so much loss,
The end of hope, the birth of fear
The birth of strength

Misguided

The question we ask: the goal you achieve?
The reason you mask religion to deceive?
Haven't you found a reason to live,
To make us believe and not forgive?
The light in your eyes is a dark shade of hate
Blinded by empty promises of eternity
The wisdom you seek is shrouded in the flame
The lies they speak are all in God’s name
What is the point of bloodshed and blame,
When all you achieve is more of the same?
The light in your eyes Is a dark shade of hate
Blinded by empty promises of eternity
The question we ask: the goal you achieve?
The reason you mask religion to deceive?

Sovereign
04:23
|

Why would i believe? Nothing is what it seems
Influences all around, everything tied in together
Break all ties to the outside, find strength in yourself
Never point your finger, a recluse I will be: the Sovereign
This is my destination, I have reached the point of no return
Break all ties to the outside, there is nothing more for me to learn
Do you think that is all, my friend?
Why do you wish to know me?
Break all ties to the outside, a recluse I will be: the Sovereign
This is the reason why, I look at myself
No one else i can trust, I’m the one responsible for me...for me
How can anyone believe in you, if you don’t see what should be true?
Strength comes from within; self-confidence
Face the world, embrace the balance
Only then will you be the Sovereign, finally
Break all ties to the outside, find strength in yourself
Never point your finger, a recluse I will be: the Sovereign

Press "START" to die
Just fucking do it: kill your world, erase your truth... and I will rule it
Swallow the bullet, chew the lead and taste the blood, there's nothing to it
Give war a chance, let chaos commence until only one stands
So let the love die, so let the hate grow, so let the blood flow
Sink my fangs into your skull, suck out every thought inside
And let you slip into the night
Press "KILL" to continue
Just fucking say it, you know the words, you know the game, just fucking say it
I’m tired of waiting, you fucked me up, I'll fuck you up, so stop complaining
Give war a chance, let chaos commence, until only I stand
So let the love die, so let the hate grow, so let the blood flow
Sink my fangs into your skull, suck out every thought inside
And let you slip into the night
Your world is mine

Sympathy Worth Nothing
05:42
|
|||
Hypocrisy hiding treachery,
Thievery breeding apathy
Hiding... always lying,
Hating... forever waiting
Sympathy worth nothing,
Nothing left for anyone
Sympathy worth nothing,
All this hate for no one
Reality slowly shifting,
Falsified; always twisting
Taking... always wasting,
Cheating... forever feeding
Sympathy worth nothing,
Nothing left for anyone
Sympathy worth nothing,
All this hate... it’s all done
Worthless...
Lifeless...
Loveless...
Endless...

Hide away, run from the light, hide away
Fade away into the dark of night, fade away
I am the black prince of hate; feeding on your fear, live to let you die
I am the blood prince of darkness
I am the taker of crimson streams
Emerging from the shadows and I strike when least expected
Emerging from the shadows and I set you free
Let the blood flow forever...
Immortal
Run away, hide from the light, run away
Fade away into the cloak of night, fade away
A slave of nocturnal bloodlust,
A child born into eternal darkness
I am the black prince of hate; feeding on your fear, live to let you die
I am the blood prince of darkness
I am the taker of crimson streams
Emerging from the shadows and I strike when least expected
Emerging from the shadows and I set you free
Let the blood flow forever...
Immortal
I am the bringer of waking dreams and I could give an endless life
I am the black prince of hate; feeding on your fear, live to let you die
I am the blood prince of darkness
I am the taker of crimson streams

The flesh is weak... or so you tell me, but I'm thick skinned baby
The mind is strong... or so they say, but I just blow my mind away
Green eyes, white lies, black ties: nine years wiped away with three words
Purple haze, chaos and demons... join me on this trip to the absurd
Don't look at me 'cause all I am is pain
Shed these acid tears to burn it all away
Everything worth anything dies here in my hands
I've got the river Styx flowing through my veins
Is that first blood I smell? Is it yours or mine? Is it just the scent of time?
Is that a tear I see? Is it the first or last?
Green eyes, white lies, black ties: nine years wiped away with three words
Purple haze, chaos and demons... join me on this trip to the absurd
Don't look at me 'cause all I am is pain
Shed these acid tears to burn it all away
Everything worth anything dies here in my hands
I've got the river Styx flowing through my veins
All i am is pain

Much too long I’ve been nowhere close to my heart
Taken so far beyond limitations
Broken down to the bone, how could I ever be whole?
Left to bleed on my own, my redemption
Hate is stronger than fear:
Annihilate all you hold dear
Rage is all, I can’t contain myself
Rage overflowing all, what’s left to fear?
Far too much I’ve seen the shattering of dreams
Broken shards of hope, violations
Strayed so far from home, faith keeping me sane
What’s left is my belief, my reflections
Hate is stronger than fear:
Annihilate all you hold dear
Rage is all, I can’t contain myself
Rage overflowing all, what’s left to fear?
I can feel nothing less than this, this hate it grows far beyond all else
All my fear gone, there is none, no one
This hate explodes, blistering... final

Enemy:Entity

Enemy... ending me,
Entity... empty me
Your pain... justified,
Your life... borrowed time
Pray for peace with God my friend,
Pray that He receives them all
Pray that you will find a place...
I couldn't care less
You'll feel it soon, crawling inside,
Unknown to you, eating away
Nowhere to run, no place to hide...
This is the end; your killing day
Your pain... justified,
Your life... borrowed time
Make your peace with God my friend,
Pray that He forgives them all
Pray for painless judgement...
I couldn't care less
You'll feel it soon, crawling inside,
Unknown to you, eating away
Nowhere to run, no place to hide...
This is the end; your killing day
This is my enemy, this is my entity
This is my pain, this is my life
This is your pain, this is your life

Art Of War
04:35
|
|||
Conflicts in modern age, twisted into an art
Sculptures are rising high, surveying the skies
Calculate, devastate, and propagate;
Another form of modern war in my face
At any cost, lives are lost, feed the pain;
Media fuels the war machine
Immortal, I’m marching through lands of frozen tears
Creating confusion, I shall not be revealed
In madness I’m searching to manipulate
In darkness I’m hiding, the truth will be erased
Eyes in the sky reflecting lies,
Symbolize the score; the art of war
Feeding on human blood to gain publicity
Censor the views of loss, confuse the enemy
Calculate, devastate, and propagate;
Another form of modern war in my face
At any cost, lives are lost, feed the pain;
Media fuels the war machine
Immortal, I’m marching through lands of frozen tears
Creating confusion, I shall not be revealed
In madness I’m searching to manipulate
In darkness I’m hiding, the truth will be erased
Eyes in the sky reflecting lies,
Symbolize the score; the art of war

Sin
05:56
|

My patience wears thin
Is that so hard to understand?
But I don't want your forgiveness
I don't need a damn thing...from you
No use waiting for an ending
It's here right now
It's done, finished
I've had it with your lies
Beyond the realm of threat
Not holding back anymore
There is no reason to lose...anymore
No use waiting for an ending
It's here right now
It's done, finished
Premeditated sin
Where should I begin?
Never will I bow
Never will I lose

Parasite
04:24
|

I can’t stand this feeling inside, It tears me up and crawls around
It spoils my head with useless thoughts
It feeds the hate that feeds the pain
Take it all, take everything, open me up and feast
Sacrifice my mind... sacrifice my mind
The parasite of blackened might has taken me out single-handedly
Nothing I try matters anymore, there is no cure for this disease
The madness slowly eats away
And thoughts of hope are all in vain
Take it all, take everything, open me up and feast
Sacrifice my mind... sacrifice my mind
The parasite of blackened might has taken me out single-handedly
I’ve given up the will to fight, now I see no use in going back
Starting to like it in this dark;
A special place where I’ll remain

Draw The Line
06:25
|
|||
Actions speak louder than words
So stop screaming...you can’t be heard
The power of a clenched fist
Is unstoppable, it’s unbreakable
They say “Listen to us”
They say “Close your eyes”
And they say “There is no need to be afraid…”
There is always another choice
There’s only so much a man can take
And now it’s time to draw the line…
Because we’re running out of time
Cast away all fear and doubt
Break the chains... unleash the pain
The power of a clenched fist
Is indestructible, so unmerciful
They say “Listen to us”,
They say “Close your eyes”
And they say “There is no need to be afraid…”
There is always another choice,
There’s only so much a man can take
And now it’s time to draw the line…
Because we’re running out of time
