The marks of the bastard are carved upon my skin My curse I'm left with this cross of Judas I bear Here men have the power of demons Death itself an illusion left to see flesh devoured Now seen through a god's eyes Salvation through death In a field of blood Consume my being now sealed with A serpent's kiss The marks of the bastard are carved upon my skin Into the field of Akeldama I descend Oh morning star cast your shadow down upon me Walking thy narrow path between Divinity and trickery Salvation through death in a field of blood Wheels of deceit have been set into motion Daemon in me betrayed a King Hung and bled for all humanity This guilt consuming me A resurrection or just a dream Either way or fate remains I descend....

Death inches closer to us a sea of life left in decay This artery now severed into yet the bleeding ceases to stop We all watch as it unfolds Consumed by fear of the unknown Lies spewing forth from their mouths Thier pockets lined and greased with wealth They promise all and deliver nothing Tared and feathered they're left choking We all watch as it unfolds Consumed by fear of the unknown Black has consumed us all The sun cannot pierce the sky We struggle just ot breathe Now we all drown in the black This cold dark hand appears Outstretched to tighten it's grip Around this world's throat To steal away our last breath The guilty hide their faces from this abomination As we're taken for a ride Aboard this ship of fools They'll deny all till their dying day As the flames shoot to the heavens And the lies wash ashore Our greed our guilt and The need for more Drink the blood, black and cold....

I'm dark sinking within myself amazed at the life I'm living Seeing no way out I'm caught like a rat On a ship that is slowly sinking Yeah love part oceans and move mountains But it could not make you see And I tried so hard but I think tha it's over Another blame falls upon me So where do we go now Looking back at the years how blind was I The immortal against all to think that I ever could have changed you So where do we go now damned if I know Guess I'm damned anyway Hey you left me alone, and I'm alive Now it leaves me cold and lonely Walking away this time I feel so old and empy as the fire slowly dies inside Wish that I could start this over And get back what we used to be But this life I've known has ended And theres only scars inside of me Ripping at these scars Hey you left me alone, and I'm alive Can we find a way to start again Away from the pain from the lies within

Lost horizons line the hours of my dreams Unheeded warnings and I'm coming apart at the seams I've been down so many roads With only blank signs for direction It doesn't matter which way you turn When pain and grief are your affection Time's essence drains my soul It appears I've lost all control My will to defy time has taken it's toll Release me from the darkness My clouded soul, ripping me apart The grains of sand still fall on me The hands on the clock are broken Memories have no place left to be No meaning left to the words I've spoken Looking back now it all makes sense to me Unlimited options but I was too blind to see My trusted conscience always hung me out to dry Failed attempts at fortune Always leave me wondering why

If you could see inside this pain I must endure alone Perhaps you'd understand This path I walk is not my own If I could hide your eyes my foolish pride would not be known Perhaps I'd realize your love inside Lights my way home I'm coming out of a dark place searching for a trace of life Through the mist this windswept hillside But a sign of life I cannot find No one here to guide me to unravel the questions within Not a candle burns to light my way Nor a soul to behold where I've been Help me to see the future The past is clear this much I know Unknown perils that lay before me Deliver me the path that I must go The dark place along the hillside a fortress of trees and earth The leaves would cover my innocence the ground support the guilt I hide The deep wood in which I dwelled a short time though long it seems Sheltered me in its warm embracce unjudging eyes My spirit cried Blind me to doublts that creep in The fear that leaves my senses low Remind me the path I have chosen Render me the strength that I might grow I'm looking back to the dark place A place where I felt safe At least within my ow mind the shadows warm embrace The haven in which I dwelled Protected me from the storm War cry the hills shook from the sound I stood upon the high ground I cried...

Like lambs to the slaughter we have been led To this carnivorous machine we are fed Will we continue to be deceived Another number in a system of greed No rhyme or reason in a shapes' corporeal form No arguing the season to deviate from the norm Lights a-dance in a static display Monolithic eloquence the signals light our way Justifiably exquisite unique serenity they hold Are we convinced to follow them As pawns fall into the fold Like lambs to the slaughter We are led Carnivorous conscience they are fed Sub-serviant attitudes can be achieved If they erradicate our will to feed No words of meaning the image they try to convey Patterns of thought for dissaray The knowledge we seek compells us to obey Our minds numb to the truth Are sucked into decay

Look to the sky in disbelief sick of all their bullshit schemes Eyes look downward in disgust Watching as the lambs are led To the fucking slaughter We kill one another for race religion and creed Our ignorance shall seal our fate Now left to the mercy of the fallen one Unfurl your black wings to blot out the sun Where did we go wrong how can we end this all This voice I know so well these words echo untrue Death waits for no one forget what you thought you knew Your eden is reduced to ash left to feed off the dead As vultures fly and flames arise They burn away whats left Out stretch his hands across the land His eyes filled with deceit Your chosen one will rule no more The fallen rule in hate Rise lord of chaos, Rise now rise up Rise unfurl your black wings, Rise now eclipse the sun Lies No mercy from above, Die heat engulfs the lungs Lord now spread your wings and fly Blackened as the locusts fill the sky Crucify the weak willed ones shall die Abominate watch the whore spread her legs wide I will consume and destroy you My hate for you is your love for me Pain and anguish that I will bring Past revealed is the future seen Seals have been cracked one by one Flesh the dead begin to crawl Hell sulfur rains as angels cry Fools now reign in this land of filth The one we thought come to save us Brought us grief and suffering Murdered savior has been betrayed Tragedy upon death's altar laid Burnt Offerings....
