Ready yourself for the end
Ready yourself cause you cannot pretend
Ready yourself for the late, for the great
The Destroyer’s surrounded and cannot defend
The lives that you thought that were yours to devour
Destroyer, the tables have turned in this hour
The plagues you unleashed, every vice that you fed
Shall be visited here tenfold on your head
Let go
Cause you know
In the end all you were was a pawn in the show
Witness the fear of the fiends
Open the floodgates, behold and believe
Witness the pain, let it rain on the beast
For the serpent is slain in a blaze of defeat
02. The Butcher
This man came to me he was looking for action
Puliing a blade to my neck
He said, “Call me the butcher cause thats my trade
And you know that I’ve come to collect.”
I said
Hit me now
and we’ll see where it leads
Cut me out
if you think I will bleed
strike me down
If you think you’re a man
Cause I know that you dont understand...
Because there is no weapon
There is no blade
You wonder why I’m not afraid?
I’ve erased all of my fear of the grave
You’ll never kill him that lives inside of me
He looked into my eyes, all he saw was conviction
Dropping the blade to the earth
I said, “How could you think that I’d ever retreat?
You know that I’m already dead.”
03. The Spectacle of Fearsome Acts
Take hold your fate in your hands
Your payment, in time, will demand
With fruit that’s forbidden, we eat then we die
and we can’t survive
When evil rears its head
it’s life and death
Like david sowed his seed
and his family bled
Consequence come likes a thief
So quick that it defies belief
Beware the curse it will pass to your seed
with dirty deeds
You tried to tempt your fate
turns out it’s your mistake
you took what wasn’t yours to take now
didn’t you?
didn’t you?
You only have one chance
Don’t take it light
You only have one chance
so get it right
Don’t take it light
So get it right
04. Dark Angel Dragnet
Bayonets to Insurgents
Lurking in my veins
My DNA, red template
Saluting my dark angel dragnet
I returned my cement shoes
Cashed in my sadness
I don’t intend to sleep with the fish
Because I can’t resist...
Cancel my ticket booked to fire
Choirs of angels sing my name
Machete to that destination
New Destiny will curse the flame
The terror of the daylight
It once consumed me
My undead devious ways
The champion of getaways
This hallowed vaccination
This sacred pure attaction
In you I’m now just a...
Passenger
So just take the reigns...
Cancel that flight into oblivion
Your ship now has an open seat
Enjoy those sips of sour poison
While I sit back and watch it rain
let it rain.
And say hello to death for me...
05. Cold and Calculated
A life you built exploiting the dreams of innocents
Preying on the wide-eyed fantasies of those with the purest intent
As parasites, they always need a host (how many lives have you bled?)
Your crooked gain will always find a leech’s ending
There is a reason you cannot sleep
You found the wages you’ve sown in greed
There is no solace in what you seek
You found that although you have gained it all you had to sacrifice...
Your prize.
After all was said and done you lost...
Your pet.
Rest it eludes you as spirits fill your head
Longing for the days when ghosts you used won’t follow you into your bed
So now it’s cost the apple of your eyes (you’ll never see her again)
Why can’t you see that she is not your property when...
How many lives have you bled?
After all was said and done, you lost...
Your pet.
Your prize.
06. Cement Shoes
I stalked serenity with blind obsession
and found possession as I lost control
The secret vice that proclaimed my freedom
is now a slavery that’s all my own
My Own
My Own
My Own
I’m powerless to this voice
I’ll never prevail alone
Desperate
We will proclaim
That on our knees
We’re not ashamed
So we bow it to
bow it to
Kneel before you
Just like a child here I’m not ashamed
No, we’re not ashamed
And so in urgency we now concede
That we are helpless in this undertow
Cause in surrender now there just might be
a new serenity thats all my own
07. A John Hancock with the Safety Off
Cure the radio
Cure the airwaves
Cure the video
Cure the satellites
We’ll lend you an oxygen flask
To quench your collapse at last
We’re beaming in pearl and white
Cause finally your poverty’s mine
You’e probably wondering how we came out alive
Why we are laughing while you bury your eyes
You’re probably wondering how we came out alive
Never forget our only reason to live
is to die
Cure the Radio
Cure the Airwaves
Cure the video
Cure the satelllites
Solutions of silver and chrome
In broadcasts of pirate hopes
These portraits of “assets” have turned
From pictures into revolvers
From sand you were made
to sand you return
Come Down
And rise to our level
Let all the world know the prisoners took flight
And watch the city streets as towers ignite
The formers kings and all their armies burn bright
While we sit back in all the glory tonight
You’re probably wondering how we came out alive
Never forget our only reason to live.
08. Two Glass Eyes
I heard you’re on a witchhunt here tonight
Desperate to reclaim those limelight heights
But oh I can’t believe the envy cocktails you consume
and now you condescend to take me for a fool
Rescue me
Separate my desires
Capture these wicked men and release my mind
So summon those ghosts and try with all your might
The past is obsolete and you will find how
That chip with which you operate like someone owes you for your greatness
is the very thing that steals your heart’s desires...
Vicious men with vile ways
so envious in all their days
What will it take to demonstrate
Celebrity breeds infamy
Deliver me
Liberate us from envy
Reconcile every heart and destroy my pride
You come at me with villainy
In every sense its irony
Because the very act of jealousy
Has sealed yourself to slavery
Fame is infamy
09. Cyclonus
Anvils fall from your lips
Like shrapnel bits from these metal fists
Pounding my back without mercy with
An arsenal of foul curses
Attitude without gratitude is like pulverizing my chest
you dream to take me down...
So here’s your goodbye kiss
Devastator
Complicator
Bringer of pain
Why won’t you fly away?
Now you jumped the fence
As enemies, they transform to friends
Spitting your venom at my back, and
Asleep in the dragon’s lair
Loyalty’s not your currency, how soon you do forget
You think you’ve found your wings
But you’ll never fly again
Fly away
Disappear, and just disappear and just
Fly away
Erasing me from your memory...
10. The Black Brigade
Prepare in urgency to race
Casting off the wieght that burdens me
I cannot dare to force the pace
Marathon for life the road I face
Commited
determined
My gaze is set on finishing
I’m straining to extend my lead
With every evil chasing me
One day, one hour, every step
I know
I know
I fix
my eyes
Ahead
Straining on to run without remorse
Casting off mistakes that came before
In my mind I see a hallowed door
Open arm embrace, I’m reaching for...
Just like a breeze is passing me
My stammers, a distant memory
We cannot afford a glance to see
What’s gaining or what is history
11. To Sand We Return
Cowering man, a legion of no-ones call,
bet it all
Covenant kill, he points to the heavens, bare
with blank stares
Beckoning search in self for his answer
Reckoning, purge, the great fall, the cancer
Settlement comes in wages now he is
shattered, broke, and all alone
We’ve lost all our control
Our faces fall to the ground
We’re powerless to your voice
Surrender to the sound..
What’ll it take to prove our decision’s wrong
will we fall?
Alone in ourselves there nothing but chaos, fear
end it here
‘til we concede to drink from the endless
The desert we find ourselves in is hopeless
‘til we submit and let go the contol
we will always be alone...
We’ve lost all our control
Our faces fall to the ground
We’re powerless to your voice
And No longer seeming so, shattered, broke and all alone
Who do I belong To?
Not Earth
Not world
Not Evil
Not mortals
Not wretches
Not horrors
Who do I belong to?
Unchanging
Unbreaking
Unfailing
Creator
Immortal
Eternal
Surrender to the sound.
