Contagion 03:47
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 02:54
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

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

Black Ocean 05:14
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 03:58
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

Ascension 06:27
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
