1. By Your Bedside

The hands move painfully forward
Time's progression reminds you of the limit of yours
Every second another step
Towards the answers to questions no one wants to ask

Kept alive by machines...
Your life has been gone from the moment you knew
Living half dead asleep
This fragile shell finally overcome by life

The kids only know you're not well
The last visit they kissed you and said goodbye
They won't forget, and soon wonder
Where it was you went, how can they see you again?

Kept alive by machines...
Your life has been gone from the moment you knew
Living half dead asleep
This fragile shell finally overcome by life

By your bedside, you'll soon die

The machines won't save you, just look at your flesh
Swollen, discolored, putrid
You'll soon be dead

The hands move painfully forward
Time's progression reminds you of the limit of yours
Every second another step
Towards the answers to questions no one wants to ask

As seconds melt into death
We are relieved to not see pain on your face
The hands have moved into the dark
All lines are flat, and you have moved onward

Kept alive by machines...
Your life has been gone from the moment you knew
Living half dead asleep
This fragile shell finally overcome by life

2. Kill For God

You want to die and kill for god

Where has the world gone, where is the warmth of the light?
What happened to living for the sake of life?
What kind of god tells you to die?
You ignorant slave – such a waste of life!

You want to die and kill for god

I should take this moment to thank you for helping the world to see
How religion is to blame for the end of humanity
Now you can go back to strapping the bomb to your chest
Maybe I'll see you later when the time is right
To fall...into a sea of flesh

Kill For God

What happened to your mind?
Why must we all die?
The only way to be safe is to kill your god

3. Trinity Broadcasting (Know Your Enemy)

The lightings perfect, the cameras are set
Make up and wardrobe are nearly finished
Talent is rehearsed, crowd fluffed, ready to explode

In just five minutes it will be
Showtime, a few script changes to be expected
Lepers a no-show

Cancer victims healed instead
Camera one fades from the intro into a nice tight close-up
Pink haired god woman buried in make-up
Rapture, Jesus on T.V.

Trinity on T.V.
Just keep watching
Know your enemy
Know your fucking enemy

They start with arms held up high, they have to thanks their Jesus
For all the donations now they can brainwash more of you
Call the number on the screen
Never mind the molesters, its all part of gods plan
Gods plan

Trinity on T.V.
Just keep watching
Know your enemy
Know your fucking enemy

Sickness
Let the bullshit healing begin
Bring your sickness to the main stage

Healing
Walk out to them, and then fall when touched
Your mind tells you, you are healed

Cancer
And then you'll die for your blind faith
All part of your fucking gods plan

Gods Plan
Time for a commercial break, stick around
Time for a commercial break, we'll be right back

The lightings perfect, the cameras are set
Make-up and wardrobe have gotten touched up
God man is ready, crowd spent, but can go again

In thirty seconds back on the airwaves prepare the spirit
And make sure we have 800 number
Operators standing by

Camera one fades from the commercial into a nice tight close up
The god man smiles and asks for money
Thank god for your money

Know Your Enemy

4. To The Taste

Burn! Fire it up, burn it down, the embers glow in the darkness
Feel warmth crawl in, through your head, drip down the spine

To the taste
Through water
Then into the lungs (exhale)

Burn! Keep it packed, never cashed, don't even pass the dust hit
Breathe in comfort, block out the pain, if even just for a moment
Smile on my face, I twist the sky, through gates of forever
To taste the fire, mist filled haze blinds so peacefully

To the taste
Through water
Then into the lungs (exhale)

To the taste
Through water
Then into the lungs (breathe in)

From the seed to the stem, the bounty of earth
Creation in my hand
The hair and the leaf and paper
All rolled into one

To taste this life

Burn! Fire it up, burn it down, the embers glow in the darkness
Feel warmth crawl in, through your head, drip down the spine

Burn! Keep it packed, never cashed, don't even pass the dust hit
Breathe in comfort, block out the pain, if even just for a moment

5. You Don't Have To Be Afraid Anymore

Little girl in my arms turned eight months three days ago
Pretty green eyes that cried when I scolded her
Married thirteen years, I loved my wife and my job
Three perfect daughters I did not deserve
She took them away, said I had grown cold
They found another life with a new daddy to love
I tried to see them but days past they grew away
Gave them my heart, they took the life from me

I watched their life – two months after they had gone
Followed patterns – she went running in the morning
And made my plans – I'll take fear from their eyes

Daddy is at the door
Don't be afraid
Just let me in
Everything is fine

Her smile shattered – "Daddy why do you have a gun?"
Gut shot painless – I know the others will soon wake
Through the hallway – nine year old died in her bed
Master bedroom – the baby stirs in her crib

Your green eyes
Cry no more
My baby girl
Dies in my arms

You don't have to be afraid anymore

My tears drop on her bloody face
She will never have to be afraid
The cops found my body laying in bed
Eight-month-old baby dead in my lap

You don't have to be afraid anymore...

6. Alone in Your Presence

Emptiness slips from my hand
Scattering unimportantly across the scratched surface
Alone in your presence it ends
Where was I when it all began...

7. Spirit Of The Soldier

Soldiers all go marching into battle,
moving slowly on across the ground
Tracks of tanks flatten the sand beneath them,
soon to be replaced by human flesh

Loved ones left behind are not forgotten, memories kept fresh by photographs
The will of the politicians is forced and now soldiers kill to make them proud

They can feel the spirit that they will kill for
Now the soldiers have become their god...

Arrogance now fuels the need for conquest – nuclear chemistry is the god
Capitol approaches in the distance – enemy waiting in their walls

As the first attack is launched upon them, you could see the passion in their eyes
Eyes that would soon be ruptured and removed, by the weapons that
will take their life

They can feel the spirit that they will kill for
Now the soldiers have become their god
Pieces of human blasting through the air
The conclusion will not end in life

As they look into the sky
They die with pride in their eye...

8. Darkness Is Comfort

We're cast down through the ages
We're cast out forgotten
Through emptiness of solitude
Through this emptiness

No one will ever listen
No one will even care
Darkness is the only comfort
Darkness is all that's safe

Their gazes turn sideways whenever you're near
They turn their backs to you pretend you aren't there
It's so hard to smile when they feed you this shit
You'll never fit in, never be one of them

So hard to be the outcast
So hard to be alone
Why must there be tomorrow
Why must there be today

They say that they're your good friends
They say nothing but lies
No one is to be trusted
No word is ever safe

No one is to be trusted
No word is ever safe
Darkness the only comfort
Darkness all that's safe

Bring it in waves like the ocean at night
To wrap its cold hands around my head
To blur out the colors of all that is life
Steal air that I breathe from my chest

Pull me out, current, show me new life
Grant me this chance to see
What I could become if left on my own
Without them staring at me

They will not understand what we've become
They'll never know how far we've gone
They just keep smiling, the joke is on them
They won't understand, the joke is on them

I will find my life
I don't need you to leave me, I left you behind

9. What Could Go Wrong?

It started, with so much love, surrounding,
your idyllic and picturesque, perfect home

Moments, so filled with joy, everyday,
warm with caring smiles love and peace and comfort

That first day, at school so scared, parents there,
with arms around your shoulder holding your shaking hand

Life with no flaw
What could go wrong

Pain comes, from deep within, brought about,
by course of the human condition, and destroys

Resulting, in the dreams end, and you see, the rapid demise of this happy family
Substance, to dull the pain, is consumed, now oblivious to the loss of all emotion
Mother, came home so late, so fucked up, and ragged from having sex with another

Whore Cunt Fucked Up
That's what went wrong

Now you need escape, you turn to the crowd
Get out of your mind to help you get through
Numbness closes in and you close your eyes
Take in the poison breathe out thoughts of life

Now you need escape to help you get through
Numbness closes in breathe out thoughts of life

Now you see that things went wrong

It started with so much love which was lost when the holes were filled by another
Watch your mom get fucked in her ass to keep you all barely alive in this hell
And you think back to those days when you smiled she used to think about happiness

Life with no flaw
What could go wrong

10. We Are All Dying

What has come? What mankind has created...
Comfortable, the silk and the cushion that we're laying in

Not real...our lives...deceit
We know what is coming

There's a fire that's burning within all of our hearts
They will know what all of this burning has created
These old men consumed in the pyre of our quest for life
Politicians soon unemployed and begging forgiveness

Their lies... worthless...deceit
They know what is coming
They know

The world will die...if they are left in control
The world will die...if they are left holding the reigns
The world will die...if old men are left holding our fate
The world will die...if something doesn't change

We are dying
We are all dying

Held up in our fortress, the bad men have broken through
The war is now fought at home and there's nothing we can do
They infiltrate our security; they've broken down our walls
We all line up, homeless, looking for justice in empty halls

Something must change

Held up in our fortress, the bad men have broken through
The war is now fought at home and there's nothing we can do
They infiltrate our security; they've broken down our walls
We all line up, homeless, looking for justice in empty halls

11. Her Beautiful Eyes

(Bonus Track)

My hands clasped tight, saliva spills
From my mouth to the pavement
Sitting alone I see the girls
In uniforms walking to school

Rising to my feet now to get a better view
Tiny pre-pube tits blazoned with the word of god
Tight little asses aching for my cock
These Christian bitches will never survive our wrath

Classes have begun, I must find them
Traversing through the field I search
And find the bitch that I must fuck
Tearing at her tattered clothing

They say that Jesus saves, apparently not her
As I pierce her flesh with the cross dangling on her neck
Whittling away at her breasts until it's gone
She dies from the shock, I fall in love with her

Wearing the cross where Jesus died, ironic to say the least
My instrument of death is the same as another bastard liar

Molest Innocent Children Lunatic Bastard

Gazing into her eyes, the light gleams
Reflecting in shades of color I can't imagine
Feeling her tender limp body pressed firmly
Weeping at the beauty of her lost innocence
Devouring the last of her ovaries
A tear drips from my eye lamenting the loss

Exhausted and broken, I lay next to my stiffened bride
Caressing her severed limbs and wishing she could die again

The beauty of her death is so very arousing
Grabbing her severed head and removing her eyes
Sliding my cock deeply into her skull
And I gaze fondly into her beautiful eyes
