End of Existence
06:32
|

It all happened so fast
So subtle were the signs
Tensions rose in the air
As war came to our minds
Paranoia harbors chills upon the front
The fire burns the hearts of savagery in some
Sons and daughters, join us in our race to begin
We will be complete upon the fall of them
Chorus --------------------
As riches come to ruin
All the masters become slaves
As they fall to the plague that they have raised
--------------------------------
We're barely left alive
How long have we been here
Impossible to tell
The fallout has kept us locked
In sactuary's hell
Confined by mans' designs
Can barely say we're sane
It seems this construct will be humanity's grave
[CHORUS]
Are we going to die?
The hands that make are the hands that break
So where will you be when the bombs fall down?
Where will you be when the ashes fall?
Will you be one of those underground?
Or will you be one who's left in the wind?
What have we done?
We've ruined our lives
[SOLO - MARSHALL]
The hands that build have all been killed
Don't know if you can hear
But God, please save my life
Don't want to live like this
But I don't want to die
[CHORUS x 2]
Oh God, oh God
We're all going to die

Spirit of the Rain
05:57
|
|||
Crimson blood drips down the altar
Prophecy requires
Sacrifice: the only answer
The gods, we satisfy
The harvest comes, the gods have blessed us
Bring forth the fertile rain
But bitter winds are all we get
The cycle is insane
Embodied form of Famine's wake
Has walked our sacred ground
Life blood lost, our people crave
For questioning the crown
Famine's wake draws Reaper's dust
To breed its bleak consumption
Final veil casts demigods
To call me to the ground
But the gods don't look upon our plane
Uncaring for our foolish ways
Constant pleads for Earthly need
Only to make others bleed
The eyes are closed, and so the souls
Are left to toil in unknown
So now to ease our mortal pain
Bow to the Spirit of the Rain
The bodies pile; Morale has fallen
Disease has reached a high
And so we take and pray returns
The life before this time
What of us has been forsaken?
The Earthly children's cries?
Appease me must, or else we face
Ungodly wrathful might
[FUNK - JAMES]
Bring us the virgins
Women, children, anyone
The gods must be appeased
New world order emerges
Deviants all rise one by one
A new age of disease — it starts to dawn
[SOLO - MARSHALL]
The masses race to find their solace
In Earthly forms of greed
Hope is gone as anarchy
Has rooted down and stayed
One by one, the souls desert
The faith has come twain
And paradise — it falls apart
And slowly drifts away

Whisper Alley
10:00
|
|||
She lies there
Her eyes are closed
The deed is done
In a stare
Her broken soul
And mind undone
But she can only sit in silence
Her flesh is all she's worth
Her life requires complete compliance
It's been this way since birth
The men, they come
Pleasure is their demand
The stains of blood are barely washed
From their hands
Pre-chorus ---------------
Be silent
Be still
For they are here
They'll riot
They will
And lay our lives bare
--------------------------------
Chorus --------------------
Welcome to your new life
Of sexual sensation
A lady of the night
And daughter of temptation
There's no escaping the alley
This is your new life
There's no escaping the alley
Accept your fate
--------------------------------
She's waiting
For a new life
Another day
For payment
She must excite
It's been this way
For as long as she can remember
This has been her life
Her tears have fallen forever
Beneath her porcelain smile
She lives in pain
They'll never understand
Her soul is stained with the fingerprints of those
Blood-stained hands
[PRE-CHORUS]

Prisoner of the Dead
04:28
|
|||
Trapped inside your mental hole
Torn and wasted, worn and faceless
Unaware of your own soul
Fingers numb, your head succumbs
Fade into the darkness now
Your mind is so unclear
Twitching hands and needle marks
Your only souvenir
Fade into the darkness now
Chorus --------------------
Self medication wearing thin
You'll perish like the others
In need of yet another sin
You'll never feed your hunger
Dreaming of what you could have been
You have become another
Prisoner of the Dead
--------------------------------
You'll never make it out of this prison alive
The pill you took to see has only made you blind
No longer the man you were
Twitching body, so unsightly
Desolation connoisseur
Leave your name, forget your shame
You'll never make it out
[CHORUS]
[SOLO - MARSHALL]

Hear the Battle Cry
06:27
|
|||
Warriors, join me
Here in my hall
The time is nigh now
Hear my call
Test your medal
In the time of war
Sex, gold, honor
Are the reaped rewards
Pre-chorus ---------------
But, before the battle, let there be
A time for festivity
Revel here as my servants come
And we shall drink 'till the night is done
--------------------------------
Chorus --------------------
Join me, warriors
Dine with me tonight
Drink the mead and
Hear the battle cry
We shall not fall without a fight
No, no, no, no, no, no
Taste the blood
Hear the battle cry
--------------------------------
Through the tree of life, we came
To pillage villages
Rape and maim
We are the calm before the storm
We are the warriors
We are the war
[PRE-CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
Asgard calls us, men come forth
It's time to fight
Fight for glory
Death on the line
The day has come, pick up you sword
Your wine and maiden can wait
Fight for honor
Honor of the light
Rend the flesh!
[SOLO - MARSHALL]
Fight! Fight! Fight! Die! x 2
Fight for honor
Fight! Die!
Fight for glory
Fight! Die!
Fight for freedom
Fight for Odin
Fight for Asgard
Die for Valhalla
We are the Norse
We fight for honor, glory, freedom and Valhalla
Are your ready, men?
Charge!
[SOLO - MARSHALL]
Praise the Odin son!
Join me, warriors
Dine with me tonight
Drink the mead
Hear the battle cry

[UNINTELLIGIBLE SCREAMING]
Payment is the reason
Life is the expense
From town to town I roam
For monetary gain
I am a believer
In payment from the blood
I've never had a history
Without misery or pain
Sometimes, I wonder if there really is a God for me
Fortune has only smiled on me when I kill
I've got a plight if there's a point to my existence
I've only found the time to live another day
Do you hear me, God?
I'm lost in this madness
And I can't explain it
But I need someone here to help me find my way out
Chorus ---------------------
A life for a life
What is the price of decision?
From what I take
Who do I break with the excision?
--------------------------------
I only do what I do well
Send the victims straight to Hell
With each and every dying breath
My mind unhinges more
Sick and twisted, my hand twitches
Another life has been lost
I've been raised so sick and crazed
To see the right in wrong
Why must I live this life?
Stuck inside this moral strife
I look at the gun and think
Oh no, I didn't save a bullet for me
[CHORUS - SATTERFIELD WITH ADA RAVEN]
[SOLO - MARSHALL]
These memories are unrelenting now
It's impossible for me to find my way out
Oh, God, why?
[OoOoOs - ADA RAVEN]

Fading Morality
03:03
|
|||
A tough decision, should I live or die?
Preserve my soul for tomorrow, or should I take my fucking life?
I don’t feel remorse or sorrow. I don’t even love, laugh, or smile
I can’t even mask the pain it takes to make it through the day
Pre-chorus ---------------
One day I’m on top of the world
The next, I’m in the fucking gutter
The mix of emotions floods my brain and
Demons of the past rise again.
-------------------------------
Chorus --------------------
The power that was in my hand
To cure the weakness that haunts me now
To pull me from this nightmare realm
But must I be bound forever?
One thought comes to my head
One that seems to elude the eye
A possible cure for my life
Is it my time to die?
-------------------------------
[SOLO - MARSHALL]
Just a pawn in a hopeless game who tried to drink his sorrows away
But I feel my soul, and slowly it’s fading away
The clock ticks and I go insane
As my mind just melts away
Oh God, Oh God, Oh God!
Will I live to see another day?
[PRE-CHORUS]
