1. Left For Dead

Twisted, beaten, and now ripped apart
The black hopeless days of a once thriving heart
The pain of the process. Your sick little plan
You buried the hope but! You can't kill the man

Your saintly disguise, and the route that you took
To impale my dreams on your rusted barbed hook
You fled from the scene, I was dumped in a can
You buried the hope but! You can't kill the man

Wrung out, and torn to shreds
Heartless the way you fled
Discarded – Left for dead
Wrung out, and torn to shreds
Heartless the way you fled
Dark days that I now dread
Discarded – Left for dead

Angelic sinner with heavenly eyes
Sadistical siren with covert sharp lies
You poisoned your prey long before I began
You buried the hope but! You can't kill the man

Demeaning white wench
Gouging wounds with black malice
Castrating victims with hands cold, and calloused
Lobotomized zombies, past lovers – Your clan
You buried the hope but! You can't kill the man

Wrung out, and torn to shreds
Heartless the way you fled
Discarded – Left for dead
Wrung out, and torn to shreds

Heartless the way you fled
Dark days that I now dread
Discarded – Left for dead

Combative defensive rants
From a mouth that's oh! So soiled
Tumultuous days, and nights
When your lies became our world
And go figure you'd slip away
With near hardly a scratch
Daddy's little debutante
Repulsive, rancid gash

Care free, and thoughtless. Your new open road
A filthy charred canvas disguised by the snow
Poetic dissent for your new fucking scam
You buried the hope but! You can't kill the man

New lease on life, I now thrive in the sun
Broke free from your cage. And I re-learned to run
Unleashing my wings with an infinite span
The blooming fresh dreams of this unbroken man

Wrung out, and torn to shreds
Heartless the way you fled
Discarded – Left for dead
Wrung out, and torn to shreds
Heartless the way you fled
Dark days that I now dread
Discarded – Left for dead

2. Son Of The Morning

Say what you will
There's no feeling inside me
Trust in this clever disguise
Blending right in
With no scruples
I'm guilt free
Drown in these dark hollow eyes

You'll face me you'll taste me
You crave me now
Can't blame me can't shame me
Make you mine – I vow

Took what I want for centuries
I'm wealthy
With all your worldly desires
Riddled with class
I've drained queens of their bounty
Hopelessly lost in the mire

You'll face me you'll taste me
You crave me now
Can't blame me can't shame me
Make you mine – I vow

Son of the morning
Reaps your heavenly loss
Son of the morning
Negates the shield of your cross
Son of the morning
And I demand respect
Son of the morning
And I defy death

I find solace in damnation
My presence can't denied
Worthless coward now forbidden
In my world you're despised

You'll face me you'll taste me
You crave me now
Can't blame me can't shame me
Make you mine – I vow

Son of the morning
Reaps your heavenly loss
Son of the morning
Negates the shield of your cross
Son of the morning
And I demand respect
Son of the morning
And I defy death

3. Fallen

Gone! The way you've fallen
Nothing left to show
Been down so long
And you've lost the will to grow

Distant feelings fading
The self you used to be
The fire once inside
Is now smoldering debris

All the grief you've caused them
In your great escape
The lines, the pills, the bottles
That now pave the path you laid

Just the way you walk in
Seeking out your prey
Another heartless scam
Pushing friends further away

And the wretched mornings
A couch, a floor, the shame
The mirror cannot hide
The lines, the grays, the pain

All the grief you've caused them
In your great escape
The lines, the pills, the bottles
That now pave the path you laid

These are the days we all have seen
These are the days that steal your dreams
These are the days you're all alone
These are the days nowhere is home

These city streets are all the same
Another shot to kill the pain
These are the days that crush your soul
These are the days that make you whole

The walls are closing in – Shaking!
Letting down your guard – Give in!
Fan the flame inside – Ignite it!
Confront your tarnished past and fight it!

Put the pieces back together
In time it slowly grows
A life once took for granted
Is a life that you now chose

All the grief you've caused them
In your great escape
The lines, the pills, the bottles
That you craved

These are the days we all have seen
These are the days that steal your dreams
These are the days you're all alone
These are the days nowhere is home
These city streets are all the same
Another shot to kill the pain
These are the days that crush your soul
These are the days that make you whole

These are the days – Reach down inside
These are the days – Unleash your pride
These are the days – To take control
These are the days – That make you whole

4. The Dream Calls For Blood

Look me in the eyes and preach shit
About what I need

In the same damn cage for years and years
While you run free

Best hope and pray to the sky above
That I never break out

But know that I will and when I do
I'm going to silence that mouth

The dream calls for blood
And you've not spilled enough
The dream, it calls for blood
Mine feeds the sea so rough

Dream Calls For Blood
Dream Calls For Blood
Dream Calls For Blood
Dream Calls For Blood

You gloat and boast about yourself
It's not obscene

Onlookers gasp in shear dismay
At your routine

There was a day so long ago
When you fought right

Truth be told you've grown so soft
Days turned to night

The dream calls for blood
And you've not spilled enough
The dream, it calls for blood
Mine feeds the sea so rough

My dreams are played with patience
Persistent and aware
Your lack of integrity
Selfgorging without care

I'll humble and expose you
Stand proud as you collapse

Pity for you, well, let it be known
That I have none

But the knowledge you taught so unaware
How it shouldn't be done

I'll keep the fire alive and the hunger inside
'Till I shall pass

So the dream I love with all my blood
Will forever last

The dream calls for blood
And you've not spilled enough
The dream, it calls for blood
Mine feeds the sea so rough

Words of scorn can't stop me
This hunger only grows
Steadfast to ignore me
Is why you fell so far below

Dream Calls For Blood
Dream Calls For Blood
Dream Calls For Blood
Dream Calls For Blood

5. Succubus

Exactly what do you hear
When I open my mouth?
All forms of communication
Always seem to go south

And walking on eggshells...
It's never been my style
The smallest step forward with you
Is like a miracle mile

Your sudden bursts of illogical bullshit
They make you look so vile
The fact the past is the one thing you cling to
You live a life of denial
No way to sink in, no way to break out
it forced me back on track
And now I've seen the real you
I'm never coming back

Your perpetual life of illusion
You claim to be so free
Truth is the attention you long for
It drained the life out of me

Your sudden bursts of illogical bullshit
They make you look so vile
The fact the past is the one thing you cling to
You live a life of denial
No way to sink in, no way to break out
it forced me back on track
And now I've seen the real you
I'm never coming back

So now I close the book
And re-open these eyes
Stand up! I brush off the dirt
From a ride that I despised

Your sudden bursts of illogical bullshit
They make you look so vile
The fact the past is the one thing you cling to
You live a life of denial
No way to sink in, no way to break out
it forced me back on track
And now I've seen the real you
I'm never coming back

6. Execution – Don't Save Me

Fight the enemy deep inside
the oppressor buried inside my mind
His strength is growing day by day
While mine seems to be slipping away

Time guiltless time – Flawed design
Poisoned mind – Don't save me
No more laws – Hopeless cause
Ruthless crime – Don't save me

Thoughts barrage me left, and right
These voices command me day, and night
Slamming my head against the walls
Pain the only solace at all

Time guiltless time – Flawed design
Poisoned mind – Don't save me
No more laws – Hopeless cause
Ruthless crime – Don't save me

If it's too late
Would somebody send me a sign?
It's too late
Degenerative state of mind

Death's ominous wicked laugh
Scream as they bind me to the rack
Stiff! Frozen to the core
Quartered! Torn my steeds of war

Time guiltless time – Flawed design
Poisoned mind – Don't save me
No more laws – Hopeless cause
Ruthless crime – Don't save me

7. Caster Of Shame

Charging straight out the gates
And I'm swinging for keeps
No! Nothing can stop me now
Fly on the wind, my friend
I'll fight until the end
You build them up
And I'll smash them down

My rage these days. Be warned, my rage
Don't cross me now. Be warned

Ballistic battering ram
And I don't fear any man
Oh! The Hell that I've been through
I've glared Death in the eye
As I saw him walk by
It's as almost as if he knew

My rage these days. Be warned, my rage
Don't cross me now. Be warned

Merciless blows will wear you down
Nowhere to hide
They seem to come from everywhere
No way to fight
Legs give way to tremendous pain
Then you'll look up
Now! Heed the name
The caster of shame

Concise, acute, aware
I'm gonna break you down
A future of despair
All you'll have when I leave town
That stoic stance shall fold
I've turned mountains into dust
Your arrogance I loathe
Those platinum plans
Will turn to rust

My rage these days
Be warned, my rage
Don't cross me now
Be warned

Merciless blows will wear you down
Nowhere to hide
They seem to come from everywhere
No way to fight
Legs give way to tremendous pain
Then you'll look up
Now! Heed the name
The caster of shame

8. Detonate

And another morning
With a peace I cannot find
Didn't heed the warnings
Of a past I left behind
I turned my head for too long
And now it's time to look within
Through the scattered ashes
Of this life that's worn so thin

I'm out of my head, I'm losing my mind
You think you've found the answer
Well, I'm looking for mine

A wasted life of wasted prayers
Trapped in this Hell, and no one cares
Nowhere to run, no place to go
This human bomb's set
ready to blow

A faceless opposition
To a world that's laced with sin

Clawing at their steel doors
Yet, they refuse to let you in

Just another human setup
On their rise up to the top

Mark my words
When I scale up there
I'll be the one to make them drop
No one shall hear your cries
And now will you be missed
A new day's dawning
With great pride I pull the switch

I'm out of my head, I've lost my mind
You think you've found the answer
Well, I've found mine

A wasted life of wasted prayers
Trapped in this Hell, and no one cares
Nowhere to run, no place to go
This human bomb's set
Ready to blow

Vicious tunnel vision
I've grown numb to your bite
Lethal ammunition with no choice left
But! To strike

There is nothing you can do
No wish, or faith will pull you through
Apologize? Well, it's too late
Now! Suffer your ferocious fate

9. Empty

Get up, get out feeling nothing
Try to survive in a world with no shame
Every time I see this place
I am reminded why I'm so disgraced

The world goes up in flames
One last blade in my heart
The final exhale
Release me to a new start

The sky – Is an endless space
Dark gray – Eternal dusk
Great plains – Barren like my heart
Empty – It's a black cold world

Is this some kind of dream?
Why won't someone wake me?

The world goes up in flames
On last blade in my heart
The final exhale
Release me to a new start

The sky – Is an endless space
Dark gray – Eternal dusk
Great plains – Barren like my heart
Empty – It's a black cold world

10. Territorial Instinct / Bloodlust

Attack! Going in for the kill. Take none alive
Eradicate the weak. The strong survive
From out of the darkness comes the light

Through hollow eyes the truth is seen
Smash down the walls that stand between
The poison apple and the bite

They will do all that they must
To satisfy their bloodlust

Strike! Either kill or be killed
Torn piece by piece

No one can tame. The nature of the beast
Vicious territorial instinct fight

Premeditated murder scene
Savior never comes it's a faded dream
Teeth sink in deep upon first bite

Their greed is so disgusting
Supremacy is rusting

Pathetic lies beyond the obscene
Filthy wounds seldom licked clean

The bloody wounds not clotting
The carcass slowly rotting
