Wasted Prayer It’s all the same to me no matter your tone or the words you fabricate Judging by the way you move around so easy and try to reciprocate Your bitching your moaning your problems aren’t mine so don’t try to waste another single breath on me How do you pray and think it’s all OK to think your prayers aren’t wasted on me? The truth behind the lie It’s all the same to me The truth is in your eye Yet still too blind to see How do you say you have all the answers when the question doesn’t forgive? Withering down to nothing never seemed to be a valid reason to live It’s the reasons you chose to form an everlasting cryptic sight of judgment led by disbelief The wolf that eats the sheep without guilt becomes the one who determines all your grief Cast another light Who opens up to find a better day that mend all the words you say? Who will face the fight? Don’t hide your face to find another reason to bring your darkness to light Where to you think you’ll stand in a world that thrives on judgment? Where do you think you’ll be when the world gives up on your pathetic compromise? The non-existing compromise that always manages to slap me in the face (who’s right?) You scream “bloody murder” when you pull the trigger no matter who’s in your sights Your bleeding soul won’t bleed when faced with the world and it’s wrath The people you face, the truth you hide will be the hand that reaches out to pull you back We cast another light Who opens up to find a better day that mend all the words you say? Who will face the fight? Don’t hide your face to find another reason to bring your darkness to light Solo (Mike) We cast another light Who opens up to find another day that mend all the words you say? What is it you see? Don’t count your days and be another victim to waste your prayers on me!

Engage The Weak Engage the weak Don’t let them speak Don’t let them suck you in Counting all the concepts and evolutions countered that will hinder your life when you begin to speak All the blame that never seems to turn around on you because the words you say are deaf on your ears To hear the tragic false perception that you put on yourself reveals every single fragment that you feel is right Who will close the door? Who will take a stand? Who will close the door and fight for a chance? If you don’t want to do the time And don’t want to pay for the crime If you want to come at me with your crucifix Then stand in line and take a number But know that my number could be 666 Breathing out spitting venom to the masses trigger torturous rules that make no sense But we find the fight to face the fist to fight your karma breaking all the rules that you make To see the only false hope you put on yourself not coming clear and not making a sound When driving it home isn’t what you expect it only makes us go around and round and round… Who will close the door? Who will take a stand? Who will close the door and fight for a second chance? If you don’t want to do the time And don’t want to pay for the crime If you’re going to come at me with your crucifix Then stand in line, take a number and know that my number could be 666

Devilfinger 03:52
Devilfinger Eyes that shift away in to the distance of what I say Minds that can’t connect and blur the value of retrospect I see it now Coming to the foresight counter every movement that I make (until I) move into the foreground of beliefs that you forsake Piercing my eyes, your eyes, our eyes just to see eye to eye Forged in what we’re taught not what becomes our demise Bound, in trust with truth, in lies Bound, in words with love, we cry War, till death and death, we part Trust, becomes the war we start How can I ever stare into your eyes again? Judging while you pull the trigger staring down your devilfinger Judging by the way your foresight forces your opinion down on me (on me) your opinion hits a nerve and sets off the war we have between my mind, your mind, our mind just to meet mind to mind Can we find the ground before the future’s our demise? Bound, in trust with truth, in lies We’re bound, in words with love, we cry War, till death and death, we part Trust, becomes the war we start How can I ever stare into your eyes again? Judging while you pull the trigger staring down your devilfinger Solo (Mike) Eyes that shift away into the distance of what I say Minds that can’t connect (that won’t connect) and blur the value of retrospect I see it now

Nothing Left 04:26
Nothing Left When you stand and think back on decisions that were made Compromising, retrospect, devour everything you say When you speak without denying all the choices that were handed out Encompassing the guilt, the dying wage that feeds the hand but not the mouth Are you willing to cross the line with your back against the wall? Ignore the warnings and the signs that tell you nothing at all Coming to an end and feeling your life is a victim of theft Are you willing to take the fall and realize you have nothing left? When you wake and sense the torture that comes from deep inside Channeling the rage in retrospect to tempt the demons that control your mind When you die and see the pattern of a trusted victim’s soul To feel the fear you can’t hide but risk your life to break the mold Solo (Tim)
5.
The Unforgiving Disease Blind to the bottle to think everything revolves around you and wise to the claim that anyone gives a fuck about what you do Bring back the day When everyone just wanted to hear your voice Now in this time You give no reason but to give us all a choice Trace it back to the beginning of how it started at all Death became the beginning of when you started to trip and fall We’re tired of hearing the excuses you give, the lines you throw our way Who can expect to see a change in you when you live for a better day? We’re tired of hearing the empty promise, the cure is still in sight Who can expect to see a change in you when you’ve given up the fight? Back to the day When your voice could still be heard Black is the day When no one wants to hear a single word Why is it so hard to reach out for a helping hand? Help is there but there’s no help if you take a stand.
6.
Trapped On Your Side Black, before I even knew you existed as a vice Blind, despise is how you fuel your enemies Peace of mind and piece of soul is what you take Please the ones that still determine your pathetic name sake How can I be on your side? And see what you’ve become when we’re forced to be trapped on your side Where no one’s ever won Don’t bleed regret when your day has come Don’t fake regret because the life you live came crashing down Don’t make a promise I’ll call your bluff Don’t make a promise when the choices you made were not so tough To be a man and the decisions that you make Despite your luck, the luck you’ve risen when all you do is take Reach to who? Because there’s no one there that wants to stay Your pity, not silence is the only game you know how to play How can I be on your side? And see what you’ve become when we’re forced to be trapped on your side Where no one’s ever won Who do you think you are to treat us all like this? Who do you think is the one you will miss? Greed paranoia An unintelligent claim Your self-absorbed institution is the only place you will stay Solo (Mike) Stay away and keep your standards to yourself Why decay when everyone that surrounds you is your wealth? Why is it you’re pleased by lies and the deception you live everyday? Become the lie because you teach yourself to learn another way How can I be on your side? And see what you’ve become when we’re forced to be trapped on your side Where no one’s ever won It’s come to an end it’s our final task it’s the only way out from the selfish things you ask You bleed regret and you wonder why You cry your problems and all we do is watch from a distant eye Solo (Tim)

Or The One 05:09
Or The One Who holds the key that unlocks the state we’re in? Who holds the lock that decides the outcome of who loses and who wins? Sticking to the ground because the world you see is black The carousel that turns your mind Countless reasons that are cryptic to the judgment of the mercy rule you put in place Beating yourself blind in a war that feeds the only dying need to persecute your faith In a lonely hall filled with memories that camouflage the primal source of everything you hate I will not turn my back I will not contemplate your fate But in the end when your day is finally here do you save the masses from their trials or disappear? Solo (Tim) Primal instinct will endure the persecution that is set in place for the weak The weak rebel to take what’s theirs and end the war that taught rebellion how to speak I will not turn my back I will not contemplate your fate But in the end when your day is finally here do you save the masses from their trials or disappear? Burning doom to this entitled world who breaths the final breath to keep us all alive Beginning, strength, chaos captures all the meaning that will sentence us to die Standing without a sense of purpose to the cause will only fuel the drive to make this right Clenching your fist to shake the hand of guilt to let you know you’re in for a fight I will not turn my back I will not contemplate your fate And in the end when your day is finally won do you save the masses, or the one??

Human 04:49
Human When you listen to the sound of the voice inside your head What does it tell you to say? Does it pull you apart? Does it reflect on your decisions? to make what matters go away When your actions speak but they aren’t louder than your words The words that go for the throat And knowing what comes next is the voice that brings you down And all that’s left are the words you wrote Do you think you can run and hide? (I’ll never run, I’ll never hide) When all that’s left is the belief in the fight Do you think I will run and hide? (I’ll never run, I’ll never hide) When all that’s left is your pale dim light Now I can see where we’ve been and I’ll bring back the day to make it fall in line How can I expect you to change for the disease that I brought to you all this time An ultimatum with a dead-end sentence brings out the weakest part of me Cry out with guilt with an empty bleeding heart The torture makes me land on my knees Do you think you can run and hide? (I’ll never run, I’ll never hide) When all that’s left is the belief in the fight Do you think you will run and hide? (I’ll never run, I’ll never hide) When all that’s left is your pale dim light You showed the mirror of me in the mirror of you and we need to begin Because, there’s something about being scared to death that bring me to life and makes me feel human again Solo (Tim)
