Slow Crush 04:16
Your voice keeps echoing back and forth my head again A silent reminder to each one of my everlasting failures I wait for your hand to come and strike me down A heavy weight upon my chest ‘cause… …you’re the reason that I can’t breathe You are the reason that I can’t feel the thing that keeps on swallowing me You are the reason that I can’t see the luring darkness deep inside of me You are the reason that I can’t hear the words that surely will crush all of me You are the reason You are the reason I would end my hopes of feeling whole again It never rains but it does pours when you’re around my friend Please drag me out of this vicious circle Or carry my dull body to the gates of hell Let me knock the door of my own demise Drain my lifeless soul through my blank and bleeding eyes Tell me fondly this soon be over And let me pray to the ones I once despised Yaaargh You are the reason that I can’t breathe You are the reason that I can’t feel the thing that keeps on swallowing me You are the reason that I can’t see the luring darkness deep inside of me You are the reason that I can’t hear the words that surely will crush all of me You are the reason You are the reason You are the reason I would end me

Abyss 04:55
All I needed was this fire to burn bright Don’t count on me my friend I’m begging you this the end Let me carry this burden through the maze of your lies I’ll succumb into your eyes With that grin that I despise Find me, the strength to proceed into your maze I beseech you to stay Don’t count on me my friend I’m begging you this the end This brawl is making me hollow when the shades comes alive I’ll succumb into your eyes With that grin that I despise Find me, the strength to give in, into the night I worship those fears Don’t leave me this way It’s getting darker now Drifting further away, through the depths of the abyss Oh I, will carry on Let the darkness devour my soul
3.
You took it all, my heart, my soul Leading me straight into impending this misery So I pray to the gods above that his devils may never see this sorry face With eyes wide open I fear no more With arms wide open I embrace it all This impending doom will soon be yours This ominous gloom will soon be yours to keep With eyes wide open I fear no more With arms wide open I embrace it all This impending doom will soon be yours This ominous gloom will soon be yours to keep You took it all, my heart, my soul Leading me straight into impending this misery So I pray to the gods above that his devils may never see this sorry face You can call me the harbinger of calamity You can call me the harbinger of calamity You can call me the harbinger of calamity

Oh I, will leave you behind After these lonesome nights You’re running out of time ‘Cause you won’t make it out alive and I won’t crawl back down Don’t lose your sanity my friend, pride always goes before a fall You’re spiraling down again Behind your curtains of lies the walls come tumbling down With the blood red sun burning that bright your walls come down ‘Cause you won’t make it out alive and I won’t crawl back down It’s high noon, it’s high noon and what comes around comes always back around Don’t lose your sanity my friend, pride always goes before a fall You’re on fire, you’ve set yourself on fire again Now embrace your fall

Moros our task is done, life has been drained from their eyes Moros what did we become, we grew into what most despise Forgive me father for I have sinned I've cast these curses from possessed deep within Enchant me with evil, enchant me with lust I'm surrounded by renegades I trust Forgive me mother for those sleepless nights Please close your eyes while my light slowly dies Don’t worry now, this is my last goodbye Let me surrender to the beholder’s eye Moros our task has failed, life has been drained from my eyes Moros what have I become, I grew into what most despise Eyes are bloodshot Our end is near Hands are shaking Our end, is, near You've plead guilty, to murder of the third degree Well to that, I say, burn us alive
6.
Medusa 04:19
They grin like snakes Their woeful glare We all aboard this living nightmare Cut off our tongues and feed us with lies tell us it’s true, with a blank stare in your eyes Decapitate our believes and cast us into stone drain all of our hope, ‘till all the Gods are gone They're Medusa’s spawn Oh it's time, gouge out our eyes Let us grasp Our Common Sense

Inhale... 05:30
But this is high treason The kings will have our heads and betrayal will be our middle names Cause the only way to survive this mess is a devil’s pact without some shame May the lords have mercy on me or their halo’s will burn in purgatory Silence me Make me a martyr Restrain me Agonize me Silence me Make me a martyr Go ahead, try to drown my demons alive Weeping away, straying away far from salvation My demons, are watching My demons, are smiling Go ahead, try to bury us in sealed crypts Oh, how the agony will fail us all Go ahead, try to bury us in sealed crypts Oh, how the agony will fail us all my dearest friend The kings will have our heads and betrayal will be our middle names Cause the only way to survive this mess is a devil’s pact without some shame May the lords have mercy on me or their halo’s will burn in purgatory

Take the shot, am I alive Who the fuck do you think that you are You broke the bottle You cut my veins Now it’s time to pay It’s the end of this day You’ve been so insane Because of this pain Now you have to pay There’s nothing left to say Misery can define us Creep deep down inside us What do you have to do I haven’t got a clue Sometimes there’s no heaven There is no more hell The only thing we have Is within a bullet shell Take the shot, am I alive Who the fuck do you think that you are You’ve took the shot It had to stop Why the fuck Did I take the shot Now I’m free from pain Just emptied all my veins Only one bullet was found When my body hit the ground I’ve took the shot It had to stop Why the fuck Did I take the shot

...Exhale 04:32
Exhale! My lungs seems to collapse, leaving me so breathless So I grasp for air, oh, still leaving me breathless It watches me, tie the rope as it proudly, kicks my chair While the fog smothers me so well, fading the last of my light Do I dare to look my failure in the eyes Let it tell the tale, leave me paralyzed And I feel the grief, pouring down on me With all of my hope been buried at sea Exhale! Pumping more adrenalin than my veins allow I Surrender, Oh I retreat Rescue me, please rescue me from it’s burning, petrifying gaze I’m cast to stone Sample Martin Luther King “Beyond Vietnam - A Time to Break Silence”: A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war, "This way of settling differences is not just." This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.

Sorrow 04:11
Frightened by your devious devilish grin Losing my will to live is the only way to accept this sin Close your sorrowful eyes, no tears are left for me Fighting my own war is what happiness turned out to be And I wanted you to know that you’re messing with me The fear in my voice gives away what can’t be unseen The hope in our eyes faded a long time ago This sorrow I breathe is mankind’s worst to know Mankind’s worst to know Oppression without a goal is a heavy axe without an edge Fitter to bruise followed by a honouring pledge And I wanted you to know that you’re messing with me The fear in my voice gives away what can’t be unseen The hope in our eyes faded a long time ago This sorrow I breathe is mankind’s worst to know Mankind’s worst to know
