Contagion

My heart is beating through my chest
the rising dead drawing first breath
Their soulless eyes now glow a crimson red
A paralyzing fear has taken me to a darker place where
the sands of time they slip away from me
Night falls on the city of the dead
No solace to be found
among the godless
this world's become so cold
fear turns to rage inside the blackest heart
the coldest blood runs through my veins
(staccato) as the world i once knew falls apart
I (I)
stare into the face of death
I (I)
close my eyes and take my last breath
Amidst the darkest night
echoes of their rabid cries
illuminate the undead eyes
they're coming for me
i stare into the face of death itself
a dark reflection of the face that I once knew
Alternate-
I (I)
stare into the face of death
I (I)
close my eyes and take my last breath standing

Red Sand

You all claim he has risen
You blame the world for the walking dead
You've covered the last land that is holy
with the blood of the chosen few
Blood spilled
in the name of democracy
We can't kill
their desire to live their own
Way of life
It's obscene to trade our dollars for their lives
Explain how much sense that makes
Prophets falsely leading profits
The rich are only getting richer every day
as we slave away our lives for nothing
they sit by and force their way of life on everyone
Waiting
for the savior to take us away
To alleviate all of this pain
the suffering done in his name
The lives taken will not be in vain
Prophets falsely leading profits
The rich are only getting richer every day
as we slave away our lives for nothing
they sit by and force their way of life on everyone
Waiting
for the savior to take us away
To alleviate all of this pain
the suffering done in his name
Our lives will not be lived in vain
Blood red sand is all I see in my head
All the corrupt laying at the foot
of the throne of the dead

Holographic Shell

We kill
We slaughter
Our past we deny
We rape the land and strip away the last strand of humanity
Satisfy your conquer
Quench your thirst with blood
Give into the urge
Drowning inside
This rough exterior is merely a shell
of digital complications
Crossed wires, empty bodies
a faint assertion
handed down with the notion
nothing is what it seems
you do not belong
circuitry
circuitry misleading
crossed wires and twisted metal
is all that lies within
in our connection
bring this dead world to life (x3)
give in to the urge
satisfy your hunger
quench your thirst with blood
drowning in your flood
We kill
We slaughter
Our past we deny
We strip the land away
the last strand of humanity in your eyes
satisfy your hunger
quench your thirst with blood
give in to the urge
drowning in the fire
This rough exterior is merely a shell
of digital complications
Crossed wires, empty bodies
a faint assertion
handed down with the notion
nothing is what it seems
you do not belong
circuitry misleading
crossed wires

All we have is time
Taxation on your death
Leave this world with your dead
Rob from us, give to them
you are the one who has sinned
the tower has fallen
break free from the chains
the king is undeserving
to the fire to the flames
these chains have held us down for far too long (x2)
tied around your precious neck
when can i finally breathe again?
the tower has fallen
break free from the chains
the tower has fallen
break free from the chains
the king is undeserving
to the fire to the flames

Down (down)
into the abyss
Low (low)
into the unknown
this creature that lies in wait
unlike anything you've ever seen
a different breed of killer
a beast with such prestige
10,000 fathoms under the sea
sink low
beneath
the wreckage
a watery grave
your only company
a crew of the dead
that knows not where they rest
their souls never at ease
in search of dead man's chest
their journey never will cease
this quest for blood
infectious
disease
sink low
down into
the darkness
beneath
the wreckage
this quest for blood
in search of dead man's chest
we know not where we rest
(solo)
down (down)
into the abyss
low (low)
into the unknown
this creature that lies in wait
unlike anything you've ever seen
a different breed of killer
a beast with such prestige
10,000 fathoms under the sea
down (down)
into the abyss
low (low)
into the unknown
sink low
beneath the wreckage
into the darkness
this quest for blood
this quest for blood
beneath the wreckage
of a watery grave
your only company
a crew of the dead

Empire

We are building an empire
These humans have become our slaves
blindly follow us
into this mass grave
We built this city
with rotting flesh
we built this city
with fire and stone
We built this city
with rotting flesh
we built this city
through fire and stone
Burn this city
burn it to ashes
bury your secrets in misery
The towers pierce the heavens
bury your secrets in misery
burn this city to ashes
for the day they deprecated me
We built this city
with rotting flesh
we built this city
through fire and stone
Burn this city
burn it to ashes
bury your secrets in misery
Bright embers fall
through darkest nights
burning down your darkest memories
burn it down
burn your memories
burn it down
We built this city
with rotting flesh
Blindly follow
to your graves
senseless humans
have become our slaves
build this empire from flesh and bone
embers fall through darkest nights alone
We built this city
with rotting flesh
we built this city
through fire and stone
Burn this city
burn it to ashes
bury your secrets in misery

Carry me
Away from the battlefield
Off my shield
As the sun sinks down
Tell my family
I'm not coming home
I have turned death back beneath me
Calling out to me alone
Carry me
On broken wings
To my home
through that hole in the sky
this lifeless body
emitting radiation
to that place they once called home
they gave us this planet
we destroyed it with lies
we destroyed with greed
they have come to take it back
on broken wings
they carry me
my lifeless body
through that hole in the sky
to a plane of consciousness
to the thrones of judgement
the palace is in shambles
is this what you call heaven?
is this what you call hell?
is this what they say the afterlife is?
is this all just a dream within itself?
is this all there is?
is this my own personal hell?
or have i been mistaken this whole time
is this all just in my mind?
does this all just exist within a universe inside myself
how will i ever know the truth when my beliefs are what cause me to fail
i'm tired of always asking questions
i'm tired of being fed lies
i'm tired of not knowing the answers of what lies beyond the sky
i'm tired of knowing all of this won't be answered until i die
i know there's more to life than this
something we can not comprehend
not religion…or science…or intelligent design
can comprehend
can understand this life
