Witch Hunt
04:06
|
|||
The pounding on your door allures to violence and gore
With people singing, your children screaming for what they have in store
The people you call neighbors and friends
Have been praying for the chance to sever your head
Don’t hold your breath, don’t be so sure
There’s no grace here, not anymore
Level your expectations, and forfeit your rights
The Christians only demand of you your last life
Stuck in a world fueled by fear and resentment
With the perfect view to watch them all get lost in a Witch Hunt
They speak of limitless mercy
They stand there with pride
A true display of grace while they read you your last rites
They preach of clemency,
compassion benign
The real embodiment of elegance while they feed you your last rites
Demands of cleansing and repentance,
As they lash out in reverence,
To extoll a great message of salvation completely boundless
How blessed are you, as the world fades from of view
Let me ask, how blessed are you? (how blessed are you)?
Oh how blessed are you (how blessed are you)?
You know they're gonna hang you high, burn
You know that this is your last night
Holy cleanses, crusades, torture and murmurous inception
Extermination ordained under the wrath of God
To protect the gates of heaven, burned at the stake for a holy insurrection
With real people stripped of their lives, for zealots, and lies
The pounding on your door allures to violence and gore
With people singing, your children screaming for what they have in store
The people you call neighbors and friends
Have been dying to watch their leaders, sever your head
With the perfect view, to watch them all, get lost in a witch hunt
Get lost in a witch hunt
To watch them all, get lost in a witch hunt

A simple look will have you melting in my hands
Hear my voice beckon, whispering out to the heart that will always bend
With shattered discipline, the richness of sin leaves me the best I’ve ever been
With a growing exhaustion of resisting the options I’m finally giving in
I’m finally giving in
After spending so long
Being so numb
Give into temptation, look into my eyes
As I whisper promises, covering over my lies
Stare into my soul, even though
I’m the last thing on this earth that’ll make you whole
A simple look will have you melting in my hands
Hear my voice beckon, whispering out to the heart that will always bend to me
This heart will always bend to me
I think I’m done
I’m so done
After spending so long
Being numb and restrained
I’ve lost sight the line
Between pleasure and pain
I can’t continue to push it away
And after all, who am I to try to ignore the taste
Fuck, what I’d give for you to take me under
I’m done pedaling with neglect instead of the wonders
I know I should stop myself, I should block out the hiss
But the moment it’s in my hands. It’s nothing but pure bliss
Oh God damn, I feel nothing I feel nothing but pure bliss
Nothing but pure bliss
It’s captivating, satiating, and I can’t let it go
To do me one better, I could stay here forever, oh God do I hope
One simple look
Hear my voice beckon, whispering out to the heart that will always bend
With shattered discipline, the richness of sin leaves me the best I’ve ever been
With a growing exhaustion of resisting option, I’m finally giving in

The Gates

“Tremble before that mighty arm
that broke asunder the dark prison walls and led souls forth to light.
May the trembling that afflicts this human frame, the fear that afflicts this image, of God, descend on you”
I challenge you, to unearth holy authority in my domain
I challenge you, pursuing virtue with nothing to light your way
Nothing to light your way
Welcome to my domain
I’ll see you at the gates of hell
One way or another
I’ll see you at the gates of hell
Wailing and gnashing, the eternal tormenting
before the gates of hell
I beckon you, welcome home. Imprisoned to an eternity of ire, sentenced to brimstone and fire
I beckon you, stay for a while. Christened at the Christian pyre, light your souls afire

Lucifer

You can’t change my mind
Backed by an ego stacked to hide behind
Using my arrogance to shroud out the ignorance
Plaguing my actions time after time
You can’t change my heart
Sticking to my guns over addressing flaws
Wherever it lands me, you stay in your own lane
Step to the side, and get the fuck out of my life
A path to glory paved with no good resolution
Miles below the need for reflection
Holding my head above the raging oceans
Choking back on all my Swallowed confessions
I would drown before I ever call for help
I can't bring myself to admit I failed
Weighed down at the crux of my hubris
Abolished of grace with nothing to show for it
My vanity makes me feel so secure
To watch my narcissism invokes the fuckers that would
Damn me to ruin, pouting and brooding
I’m in no need of your faulty perspective
I got company in the lowest of places and they all get it
I’m perfectly comfortable knowing my demons get me
My demons get me (x3)
It’s a winter wonderland in hell here with me
It’s a winter wonderland in hell (my demons get me)
It’s a winter wonderland in hell here with me
It’s a winter wonderland in hell (my demons get me)
Oh it’s hell with me, my demons get me
It’s hell here with me, my demons get me
You can’t change my mind,
Backed by an ego stacked to hide behind
Using my arrogance to shroud the ignorance
Plaguing my actions time after time
You can’t change my heart
Sticking to my guns over addressing flaws
Wherever it lands me you stay in your own lane
Step to the side or get the fuck out of my way

Leviathan
03:59

I reap no satisfaction, from having it all on my own
I need the chase, the suffocating embrace, of coveting someone else’s throne
I can’t stand to see you smile perched atop riches that you don’t deserve
It’s not about what I need, it’s about how you succeed, and dare try live above me
Oh how dare you try to live above me
Oh how dare
Anything I desire, turns rotten and sour,
When I see the way it lies in your hands
Anything I despise, turns to gold in my eyes, (Oh how dare)
When I see the way your kingdom stands
I despise the way your kingdom stands
I despise the way your kingdom stands
I despise the way your kingdom stands
I wished and I wanted and I did nothing about it when I failed to focus on me
I loathed and cursed the people I should have worshiped, all because my envy blinds me
I can see, everything that I want to be,
and it’s unattainable, I’m insatiable and I’d rather hate you, than pick up my own feet.
Hoping to see you stumble
As my rite to keep those short of grace and unworthy, humbled.
I’d see your empire to rubble
I’d see your whole world crumble
I’d see your empire to rubble
I’d see your whole world crumble
I despise the way your kingdom stands
I despise the way your kingdom stands

What I need
What I need
What I need
What I need
What I need to survive is a limited supply
But my desire’s a fountain that will never run dry
Oh No
I’d rather choke on my own greed
Than bare thought of seeing my riches lost, After everything
Oh No
I’d rather choke on my own greed
Then reconsider giving up on the treasures that I’ve chased so hard to seize
I’d rather choke on my own greed
I’d rather choke on my own greed
I’ll take as much as I’d like from wherever I can, regardless
I’d rip the whole world apart, before I miss out on a life this rich
What I need to survive is a limited supply
But my desire’s a fountain that will never run dry
What I need to survive is far out of my mind
But my wants are endless, if I can’t have it all, than who am I?
Oh No
I’d rather choke on my own greed
Than bare thought of seeing my riches lost after everything it cost me
Oh No no no
I’d rather choke on my own greed
Then reconsider giving up on the treasures that I’ve chased so hard to seize

I can’t seem to fill my needs
No matter how I medicate, I can not replicate
The way it use to stir in me
The feeling of total release
But God do I want it
When enough isn’t enough
No I need it
Between patience or self control, I’d rather die
Feeding cravings with no satisfactions to find.
I fill the spaces in my empty life with
Addictions to sustenance in piles and piles
A prisoner of famished spirit and mind
Indulgence enough to crown me Lord of the flies
I know exactly what I am
But I’m here for more, and that’s where I’ll make my stand
I feel it around me
The urge to get lost in a feeding frenzy
A love that’s turned rotten
now feeds on my mind
Just the sight makes me nauseous
But I’m starving inside
I’ve since lost all love
For a taste once so sweet
I devoured it all
Now the smell sickens me
Please, I’m drowning in pleasure, completely tethered to filling a void inside
I can’t relinquish the urge to feast upon anything that makes me feel alive
I’ll take anything that makes me feel alive
Oh I’ll take anything that makes me feel alive
God damn, someone get this man a fucking smoke
No I need it
Between patience or self control, I’d rather die
Feeding cravings with no satisfactions to find.
I fill the spaces in my empty life
With Addictions enough to crown me Lord of the flies
I can’t wait
I can’t wait, for when I sink my teeth
Deep inside the only that things that ever make me feel at peace
I can’t wait, Imma lose my self control
I can find that escape anywhere, no one ever has to know
I can’t wait

Wait wait wait… I am by no means trying to say it’s the best riff ever.. I’m just saying 1s and 0s are kind of dope
Oh I’m not gonna make it
Giving into pity's seduction
If no one else will, I’ll be my own destruction
I linger with no sense of urgency
I wouldn’t make it if you fucking carried me
I wouldn’t make it if you fucking carried me
Shallow in every single thing
I wouldn’t make it if you fucking carried me
I’m not gonna make it
I’m not gonna make it
I’d choose to do nothing at all as my life flies right past me (I’m not gonna make it)
As I bask in my sorrows, clutching to the echoes (I’m not gonna make it)
When the time comes to get off my back
I’d do nothing
When I'm face to face with what I lack
I’d do nothing
Knowing my future holds no weight at the end of the day, as I waste it away
I’m worthless in my own way
And that’s exactly where I’ll stay
You’ll find me incredibly complacent with failure and misery
I’m in no rush to get that weight off of me
Give into pity's seduction
If no one else will, I’ll be my own destruction
Given the options. I’d do nothing

Satan

Fueling the demon boiling the blood in my veins
doing my best to contain in vain
But everyone around me is breaking down my chains
Subject to become victims of my pain
Who is at fault for the injustice
Disdain, frustration and senseless madness
Refusing to show the fear raging inside of me
Unraveling the vulnerable edges of my agony
The worst part, Is the sickening world that has charred my heart
The saints and the sinners all tearing me apart
Debilitating regret turned to hate
Replacing the morrow in my bones and the blood in my veins
I’m out of patience, and you’re all out of time
I’ve lost my nerve and you’re the only thing standing in my sights
Lost in a frenzy, seeking vengeance and relief
Say your prayers, speak your peace, but I’m officially in too deep
Don’t let the terror hide you
Let loose the pain
Don’t try to fight to see the light
You stand up and own your rage
Own your rage
Own your rage
And why take the time to beg for forgiveness
When I beg I lose it again, God as my witness
There's no justice in waiting for it to settle and sedate
I leave no trace but broken pieces and ashes in my wake
Still I struggle finding why I feel this way
Taking time to reflect and ask for change after its too late
You want change?
You’re too late
The worst part, Is the sickening world that has charred my heart
The saints and the sinners all tearing me apart
Debilitating regret turned to hate
Replacing the morrow in my bones and the blood in my veins
I’m out of patience, and you’re all out of time
I’ve lost my nerve and you’re the only thing standing in my sights
Lost in a frenzy, seeking vengeance and relief
Say your prayers, speak your peace, but I’m officially in too deep
I don’t even recognize me
I don’t even recognize me
I don’t even recognize me
Regardless of what I do, no matter where I invoke the thought, I can feel the wrath start to clot
My angels left me to suffer through, while inside me anger grew
Everytime I think I’m getting better my world starts to black out
I can’t keep fighting a losing battle at this point I’d settle for peace with myself
Stand up and own your rage
Stand the fuck up and own your rage
Stand up and own your rage
The worst part, Is the sickening world that has charred my heart
You’re the only thing standing in my sights
Debilitating regret turned to hate
Say your prayers, speak your peace, but I’m officially in too deep
I was told, that peace should be easy
Now I know being soft doesn’t fit me
Fucking release me
Watch the hope and life leave my eyes
Fucking release me
As the demon confide comes alive
I don’t know where I draw my hate
Ungracefully, I violently pave my way
And why take the leap to exercise my rite
My fury is here to stay, hell can fucking have me
Nothing but endless rage
Nothing but endless rage
Fueling the demon
Boiling the blood in my veins
doing my best to contain in vain (Nothing but endless rage)
But everyone around me is
Breaking down my chains
Subject to become victims of my pain (Nothing but endless rage)
Fueling the demon
Boiling the blood in my veins
doing my best to contain in vain (Nothing but endless rage)
But everyone around me is
Breaking down my chains
Subject to become victims of my pain (Nothing but endless rage)
Nothing but endless rage
Nothing but endless rage
Nothing but endless rage
Nothing but endless rage
