 BLACKENED

 Blackened Is the End
 Winter it Will Send
 Throwing All You See
 Into Obscurity

 Death of Mother Earth
 Never a Rebirth
 Evolution's End
 Never Will it Mend

 Never

      Fire
      To Begin Whipping Dance of the Dead
      Blackened Is the End
      To Begin Whipping Dance of the Dead
      Color Our World Blackened

 Bustering of Earth
 Terminate its Worth
 Deadly Nicotine
 Kills What Might Have Been

 Callous Frigid Chill
 Nothing Left to Kill
 Never Seen Before
 Breathing Nevermore

 Never

      Fire
      To Begin Whipping Dance of the Dead
      Blackened Is the End
      To Begin Whipping Dance of the Dead
      Color Our World Blackened
      Blackened

 Opposition...Contradiction...Premonition...Compromise
 Agitation...Violation...Mutilation...Planet Dies
      Darkest Color
      Blistered Earth
      True Death of Life
 Termination....Expiration...Cancellation...Human Race
 Expectation...Liberation...Population...Lay to Waste
      See Our Mother
      Put to Death
      See Our Mother Die

 Smouldering Decay
 Take Her Breath Away
 Millions of Our Years
 In Minutes Disappears

 Darkening in Vain
 Decadence Remains
 All Is Said and Done
 Never Is the Sun

 Never

      Fire
      To Begin Whipping Dance of the Dead
      Blackened Is the End
      To Begin Whipping Dance of the Dead
      Fire
      Is the Outcome of Hypocrisy
      Darkest Potency
      In the Exit of Humanity
      Color Our World Blackened
      Blackened

      I Can't Believe the Price You Pay
      Nothing Can Save You

      Justice Is Lost

      Find it So Grim
      So True
      So Real

 So Deceiving
 Through Your Eyes Their Light Burns
 Hoping to Find
 Inquisition Sinking You
 With Prying Minds

      So True
      So Real

 Lady Justice Has Been Raped
 Truth Assassin
 Rolls of Red Tape Seal Your Lips
 Now You're Done in
 Their Money Tips Her Scales Again
 Make Your Deal
 Just What Is Truth?i Cannot Tell
 Cannot Feel

      The Ultimate in Vanity
      Exploiting Their Supremacy

 EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

 Do You See What I See?
 Truth Is an Offence
 You Silence for Your Confidence

 Do You Hear What I Hear?
 Doors Are Slamming Shut
 Limit Your Imagination, Keep You Where They must

 Do You Feel What I Feel?
 Bittering Distress
 Who Decides What You Express

 Do You Take What I Take?
 Endurance Is the Word
 Moving Back Instead of Forward Seems to Me Absurd

 Doesn't Matter What You See?
 Or into it What You Read
 You Can Do it Your Own Way
 If It's Done Just How I Say

      Independence Limited
      Freedom of Choice
      Choice Is Mad for You My Friend
      Freedom of Speech
      Speech Is Words That They Will Bend
      Freedom with Their Exception

 Do You Fear What I Fear?
 Living Properly
 Truths to You Are Lies to Me

 Do You Choose What I Choose?
 More Alternives
 Energy Derives from Both the plus and Negative

 Do You Need What I Need?
 Boundaries Overthrown
 Look Inside to Each His Own

 Do You Trust What I Trust?
 Me, Myself and I
 Penetrate the Smoke Screen I See Through the Selfishlie

 Doesn't Matter What You See
 Or into it What You Read
 You Can Do it Your Own Way
 If It's Done Just How I Say

      Independence Limited
      Freedom of Choice
      Choice Is Mad for You My Friend
      Freedom of Speech
      Speech Is Words That They Will Bend
      Freedom with Their Exception

 Do You Know What I Know?
 Your Money End Your Wealth
 Your Silence Just to Hear Your Self

 Do You Want What I Want?
 Desire Not a Thing
 I Hunger after Independence Lengthen Freedom's Ring

 Doesn't Matter What You See
 Or into it What You Read
 You Can Do it Your Own Way
 If It's Done Just How I Say

      Independence Limited
      Freedom of Choice
      Choice Is Mad for You My Friend
      Freedom of Speech
      Speech Is Words That They Will Bend
      Freedom with Their Exception

 Doesn't Matter What You See
 Or into it What You Read
 You Can Do it Your Own Way
 If It's Done Just How I Say

 ONE

 I Can't Remember Anything
 Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream
 Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream
 this Terrible Silence Stops Me

 Now That the War Is Through with Me
 I'm Waking up I Can Not See
 That There Is Not Much Left of Me
 Nothing Is Real but Pain Now

 Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
 Oh Please God,wake Me

 Back in the Womb its Much Too Real
 in Pumps Life That I must Feel
 but Can't Look Forward to Reveal
 Look to the Time When I'll Live

 Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me
 Just like a Wartime Novelty
 Tied to Machines That Make Me Be
 Cut this Life off from Me

 Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
 Oh Please God,wake Me
 Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One
 Oh God,help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
 Oh Please God Help Me

 Darkness Imprisoning Me
 All That I See
 Absolute Horror
 I Cannot Live
 I Cannot Die
 Trapped in Myself
 Body My Holding Cell

 Landmine Has Taken My Sight
 Taken My Speech
 Taken My Hearing
 Taken My Arms
 Taken My Legs
 Taken My Soul
 Left Me with Life in Hell

 HARVESTER OF SORROW

 My Life Suffocates
 Planting Seeds of Hate
 I've Loved, Turned to Hate
 Trapped Far Beyond My Fate

 I Give
 You Take
 This Life That I Forsake
 Been Cheated of My Youth
 You Turned this Lie to Truth

     Anger
     Misery
     You'll Suffer unto Me

     Harvester of Sorrow
     Language of the Mad
     Harvester of Sorrow

 Pure Black Looking Clear
 My Work Is Done Soon Here
 Try Getting Back to Me
 Get Back Which Used to Be

 Drink up
 Shoot in
 Let the Beatings Begin
 Distributor of Pain
 Your Loss Becomes My Gain

      Anger
      Misery
      You'll Suffer unto Me

      Harvester of Sorrow
      Language of the Mad
      Harvester of Sorrow

 All Have Said Their Prayers
 Invade Their Nightmares
 See into My Eyes
 You'll Find Where Murder Lies
 Infanticide

      Harvester of Sorrow
      Language of the Mad
      Harvester of Sorrow
      Language of the Mad
      Harvester of Sorrow

 THE FRAYED ENDS OF SANITY

 Never Hunger
 Never Prosper
 I Have Fallen Prey to Failure
 Struggle Within
 Triggered Again
 Now the Candle Burns at Both Ends

 Twisting under Schizophrenia
 Falling Deep into Dementia

      Old Habits Reappear
      Fighting the Fear of Fear
      Growing Conspiracy
      Everyone's after Me
      Frayed Ends of Sanity
      Hear Them Calling
      Hear Them Calling Me

 Birth of Terror
 Death of Much More
 I'm the Slave of Fear,my Captor
 Never Warnings
 Spreading its Wings
 As I Wait for the Horror She Brings
 Loss of Interest,question,wonder
 Waves of Fear They Pull Me under

     Old Habits Reappear
     Fighting the Fear of Fear
     Growing Conspiracy
     Everyone's after Me
     Frayed Ends of Sanity
     Hear Them Calling
     Hear Them Calling Me

 Into Run
 I Am Sinking
 Hostage of this Nameless Feeling
 Hell Is Set Free
 Flooded I'll Be
 Feel the Undertow Inside Me

 Height,hell,time,haste,terror,tension
 Life,death,want,waste,mass Depression

      Old Habbits Reappear
      Fighting the Fear of Fear
      Growing Conspiracy
      Myself Is after Me
      Frayed Ends of Sanity
      Hear Them Calling
      Frayed Ends of Sanity
      Hear Them Calling
      Hear Them Calling Me

 TO LIVE IS TO DIE

 When a Man Lies He Murders
 Some Part of the World
 These Are the Pale Deaths Which
 Men Miscall Their Lives
 All this I Cannot Bear
 to Witness Any Longer
 Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation
 Take Me Home

 DYERS EVE

 Dear Mother
 Dear Father
 What Is this Hell You Have Put Me Through
 Believer
 Deceiver
 Day in Day out Live My Life Through You
 Pushed onto Me What's Wrong or Right
 Hidden from this Thing That They Call Life

 Dear Mother
 Dear Father
 Every Thought I'd Think You'd Disapprove
 Curator
 Dictator
 Always Cencoring My Every Move
 Children Are Seen Bur Are Not Heard
 Tear out Everything Inspired

      Innocence
      Torn from Me Without Your Shelter
      Barred Reality
      I'm Living Blindly

 Dear Mother
 Dear Father
 Time Has Frozen Still What's Left to Be
 Hear Nothing
 Say Nothing
 Cannot Face the Fact I Think for Me
 No Guarantee,it's Life as Is
 But Damn You for Not Giving Me My Chance

 Dear Mother
 Dear Father
 You've Clipped My Wings Before I Learned to Fly
 Unspoiled
 Unspoken
 I've Outgrown That Fucking Lullaby
 Same Thing I've Always Heard from You
 Do as I Say Not as I Do

     Innocence
     Torn from Me Without Your Shelter
     Barred Reality
     I'm Living Blindly
     I'm in Hell Without You
     Cannot Cope Without You Two
     Shocked at the World That I See
     Innocent Victim Please Rescue Me

 Dear Mother
 Dear Father
 Hidden in Your World You've Made for Me
 I'm Seething
 I'm Bleeding
 Ripping Wounds in Me That Never Heal
 Undying Spite I Feel for You
 Living out this Hell You Always Knew.
