I am the shadow of belief I am that prostitute of grief I am Diablos incarnate I am the residue of hate I am that symphony of screams I am the horror inside your dreams I am the harbinger of gloom I reap my malevolence and doom I am the monster in your soul Come to take complete control I build a tower of deceit And watch it fall before my feet I take the fragments of your being Devour them and send you screaming I suspend your disbelief I am the villain I’m the thief I am the dream as you perceive The subtle ways that you can’t see I make the world seem something new I mutilate and draw askew I am the angel you despise I bring salvation masked in lies I am the nightmare in your mind That warps all judgment for all time Welcome to my dream descending Into torment never ending Welcome to my nightmare burning (Nightmare) Welcome to my nightmare burning Flesh on fire, sex and dying Girls in leather they are dancing On my grave they are romancing How is it my head is spinning Am I Satan am I sinning Rip my teeth out as I’m screaming Flesh for Flesh, am I still dreaming I am the shadow of belief I am that prostitute of grief I am Diablos incarnate I am the residue of hate I am that symphony of screams I am the horror inside your dreams I am the harbinger of gloom I reap my malevolence and doom I am the monster in your soul Come to take complete control I build a tower of deceit And watch it fall before my feet I take the fragments of your being Devour them and send you screaming I suspend your disbelief I am the villain I’m the thief Welcome to my nightmare burning (Nightmare) Welcome to my nightmare burning Flesh on fire, sex and dying Girls in leather they are dancing On my grave they are romancing How is it my head is spinning Am I Satan am I sinning Rip my teeth out as I’m screaming Flesh for Flesh am I still dreaming

Deep in the circle of sin Your sanity starts to unwind Witness the torment within Here in this circle of mine Deep in this circle of sin Where nothing will come to an end I pray for escape in my time But Limbo is taking my mind Between the teeth of a gargoyle’s smile There’s a place where ambiguity reigns Falling away to the circle of naught, Into nothing, the void, into Limbo I stay Deep in the circle of sin Your sanity starts to unwind Witness the torment within Here in this circle of mine Deep in this circle of sin Where nothing will come to an end I pray for escape in my time But Limbo is taking my mind Between the teeth of a gargoyle’s smile There’s a place where ambiguity reigns Falling away to the circle of naught, Into nothing, the void, into Limbo I stay You murdered the world. Tore it from within, Devoured what it gave, Welcomed oblivion. You desecrated the shrine. Pissed away the dream, burned away the earth, And raped the deepest sea. That satisfying smile That persecuting grin You climbed the highest mound of mud Looked down and took it in. See the looming black sun. The apocalypse comes. Smell the oceans of fear, As damnation draws near. By the whites of their eyes, Hear the piteous cries, ‘twas a murder of crows That brought me to Limbo Deep in the circle of sin Your sanity starts to unwind Witness the torment within Here in this circle of mine Deep in this circle of sin Where nothing will come to an end I pray for escape in my time But Limbo is taking my mind Between the teeth of a gargoyle’s smile There’s a place where ambiguity reigns Falling away to the circle of naught, Into nothing, the void, into Limbo I stay

Die Anger 04:01
Anger's not the word for these feelings that I have. Words lose all their meaning when you turn them into pain. Pain does not exist, within the rumble of my mind. And thunder in my thinking has me thinking I'll explode. Die Anger Die Die Anger Die Grrr Anger Violence Pain Grrr Anger Violence Pain Grrr Anger Violence Pain Grrr Anger Violence Pain Hate is not a thought that travels fleeting through my head. And violence has no meaning unless accompanied by pain. Fear remains a friend, that is, until the bitter end. And loathing coins a taste the only complements the hate. Die Anger Die Die Anger Die Grrr Anger Violence Pain Grrr Anger Violence Pain Grrr Anger Violence Pain Grrr Anger Violence Pain DIE - DIE - DIE - DIE Die Anger Die Die Anger Die

All the things we’ve come to love, Materials we’ve made, Meaningless accessories, In the dawn of this new age. Could it be that we weren’t thinking When we cast our final stones. It’s all upset the balance, it is we that lost control. The Human condition, Conditioned me. There was no transition, I was blind and now I see. The Human condition, Is Suffering, There was no transformation, I was blind and now I see Our step by step psychology, is cryptic and obscene. Hiding secrets within secrets, Mask the company we keep. What is it that we were thinking, Now that we are on our knees? We’re not just out of order, We’ve become our own disease. The Human condition, Conditioned me. There was no transition, I was blind and now I see. The Human condition, Is Suffering. There was no transformation, I was blind and now I see.

Lange Regen 04:27
Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to sit with you again, I have been driven to your side, I must console my wounded pride. I can’t tell you how I feel, ‘Cause everything is so unreal, At times like this I have to bear the pain, At times like this I really need the rain, To wash away my doubts and fears, ‘Cause this depression makes it clear, This is the longest rain I’ve known, And I am never coming home. When I look into your eyes, I need some time to realize, I need some time to think things through, I need some time to be with you, I can’t tell you how I feel, ‘Cause everything is so unreal, At times like this I have to bear the pain, At times like this I really need the rain, To wash away my doubts and fears, ‘Cause this depression makes it clear, This is the longest rain I’ve known, And I am never coming home. Hello suffering and pain, I’ve come to visit you again, I recognize the these aches of old, And I recall this bitter cold, I feel the raindrops on my skin, Echoes of emptiness within, I can’t tell you how I feel, ‘Cause everything is so unreal, At times like this I have to bear the pain, At times like this I really need the rain, To wash away my doubts and fears, ‘Cause this depression makes it clear, This is the longest rain I’ve known, And I am never coming home.

I have heard the sordid tales from the stories of the past the people who have disappeared the ones that didn’t last unspeakable pariahs and the martyrs and the few that sacrificed their lives to help the others make it through no matter what the god we’ve come to have our say we’re all in this together and its just a drink away I’m drinking for the dead and all that represents I drink for my desire for all those things expired I’m drinking for the dead come with me sober friend I am drinking to the dead, I’m drinking for their souls I think there’s more to death than we will ever know I’m drinking to the dead I drink my life away and when I’m dead and gone you can drink for me some day I’m seeing things that I had thought that I would never see and the music’s getting started for the world beneath my feet my troubled friends are over and we’re drinking to the past with this company I keep we will raise another glass no matter what the god we’ve come to have our say we’re all in this together and its just a drink away I’m drinking for the dead and all that represents I drink for my desire for all those things expired I’m drinking for the dead come with me sober friend I am drinking to the dead, I’m drinking for their souls I think there’s more to death than we will ever know I’m drinking to the dead I drink my life away and when I’m dead and gone you can drink for me some day

You're not the land of the free. you have the greatest disease, Don't you see ,don't you see? You did to yourselves what you didn't want to do, And now they're taking everything from you.

Lay Down 05:19
In fields of swastikas where Jessica lay Battered and beaten and feeling betrayed She’s smiling and dreaming and ending the pain She’s high on the feeling of fading away Lay Down, Lay Down, Lay Down Lay down and Bleed Lay Down, Lay Down, Lay Down Lay down and Bleed And the serpents and spiders that lay in the grass Touch not and want not this beautiful lass While the wind in the wheat field blows down on her form And the voice of her master will keep her from harm Lay Down, Lay Down, Lay Down Lay down and Bleed Lay Down, Lay Down, Lay Down Lay down and Bleed No tears roll downward from Jessica’s face No meaning is found there she’s left not a trace Resentment contentment will never be told When Jessica sleeps her body grows cold Lay Down, Lay Down, Lay Down Lay down and Bleed Lay Down, Lay Down, Lay Down Lay down and Bleed Lay Down, Lay Down, Lay Down Lay down and Bleed Lay Down, Lay Down, Lay Down Lay down and Bleed Touch not and want not and be not afraid The time will approach when your bruises will fade Touch not and want not and be not afraid The time will approach when your bruises will fade Touch not and want not and be not afraid The time will approach when your bruises will fade Touch not and want not and be not afraid The time will approach when your bruises will fade Touch not and want not and be not afraid The time will approach when your bruises will fade Lay down and lay down and lay down to bleed Let the life you’ve been holding flow into the weeds Lay down and lay down and lay down and know That the world you are leaving was killing you so Lay down and laydown and lay down to hear That the earth is your shepherd you’ve nothing to fear Lay down and lay down and lay down to die For the world won’t forget you as you say goodbye Touch not and want not and be not afraid The time will approach when your bruises will fade Touch not and want not and be not afraid The time will approach when your bruises will fade Touch not and want not and be not afraid The time will approach when your bruises will fade

There’s a Black Star, shinning on fields of memory. There’s a white dawn, coming to wash it away. There’s a red moth, here in my hand that I’m holding, Onto the knowledge, that I’m slipping away. I hold this red moth bleeding and dying, To you it means nothing, to you it means nothing, I hold the whole world, and my shoulders grow heavy, You cannot fathom, the weight of the meaning, I hold a dead heart dried and depleted, I hold a dead heart dried and depleted, I hold a red moth, this red moth is bleeding, In the palm of my hand I hold life I hold death. I hold a red moth, this red moth is bleeding, In the palm of my hand I hold life I hold death. I can see black pits deep in your eyes, they swallow shadows, they eat the light I can see black pits deep in your eyes, they swallow shadows, they eat the light This chalk white circle was drawn to be broken, This chalk white circle was drawn to be broken, This chalk white circle was drawn to be broken, This chalk white circle was drawn to be broken, I hold this red moth bleeding and dying, To you it means nothing, to you it means nothing, I hold the whole world, and my shoulders grow heavy, You cannot fathom, the weight of the meaning, I hold a dead heart dried and depleted, I hold a dead heart dried and depleted, I hold a red moth, this red moth is bleeding, In the palm of my hand I hold life I hold death. I hold a red moth, this red moth is bleeding, In the palm of my hand I hold life I hold death. As it expires its murmur is deafening, as it expires its murmur is deafening, As it expires its murmur is deafening, as it expires its murmur is deafening, I hold this red moth bleeding and dying, To you it means nothing, to you it means nothing, I hold the whole world, and my shoulders grow heavy, You cannot fathom, the weight of the meaning, I hold a dead heart dried and depleted, I hold a dead heart dried and depleted, I hold a red moth, this red moth is bleeding, In the palm of my hand I hold life I hold death. I hold a red moth, this red moth is bleeding, In the palm of my hand I hold life I hold death.

This is Real 04:46
Stay awhile sit and smile Come laugh at what I see People shout and fuss about Believing they are free I’d love to comfort all your souls and say this isn’t so But freedom is a hardship man, And slavery’s all you know The people they will come and go They will try to pull my strings Their puppetry, exposes me to the truth behind the seams With one foot in the mountain and the other in the grave By Christ I’ll suffer for this world but I’ll never be its slave This architect that built your dreams That made you whole now where is he This dialect you have with God Is it direct when will you learn That the control you would project Onto my soul will never work Your magic’s dead you’re incomplete And I will witness your defeat That was nice – This is real This Goddamned casket where I live is shrinking every day People try to lift the lid to see my life and say You Goddamned selfish bastard how is it that you survive Well I take their shit and shovel it to keep myself alive The people they will come and go They will try to pull my strings Their puppetry, exposes me to the truth behind the seams With one foot in the mountain and the other in the grave By Christ I’ll suffer for this world but I’ll never be its slave This architect that built your dreams That made you whole now where is he This dialect you have with God Is it direct when will you learn That the control you would project Onto my soul will never work Your magic’s dead you’re incomplete And I will witness your defeat That was nice – This is real
