1. 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
Blistering 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
Smoldering 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
2. ...And Justice For All
Halls of justice painted green Money talking Power wolves beset your door Hear them stalking Soon you'll please their appetite They devour Hammer of justice crushes you Overpower
The ultimate in vanity Exploiting their supremacy I can't believe the things you say I can't believe I can't believe the price you pay Nothing can save you
Justice is lost Justice is raped Justice is gone Pulling your strings Justice is done Seeking no truth Winning is all Find it so grim So true So real
Apathy their stepping stone So unfeeling Hidden deep animosity So deceiving Through your eyes their light burns Hoping to find Inquisition sinking you With prying minds
The ultimate in vanity Exploiting their supremacy I can't believe the things you say I can't believe I can't believe the price you pay Nothing can save you
Justice is lost Justice is raped Justice is gone Pulling your strings Justice is done Seeking no truth Winning is all Find it so grim 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 I can't believe the things you say I can't believe I can't believe the price you pay Nothing can save you
Justice is lost Justice is raped Justice is gone Pulling your strings Justice is done Seeking no truth Winning is all Find it so grim So true So real
Seeking no truth Winning is all Find it so grim So true So real
3. Eye Of The Beholder
Do you see what I see? Truth is an offence Your 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 made 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 alternatives 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 selfish lie
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 made 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 and your wealth Your silence just to hear yourself
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 made for you, my friend Freedom of speech Speech is words that they will bend Freedom no longer frees you
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
4. 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 cannot see That there's 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 it's 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
5, The Shortest Straw
Suspicion is your name Your honesty to blame Put dignity to shame Dishonor Witchhunt, modern day Determining decay The blatant disarray Disfigure The public eye's disgrace Defying common place Unending paper chase Unending
Deafening Painstaking Reckoning This vertigo it doth bring
Shortest straw Challenge liberty Downed by law Live in infamy Rub you raw Witchhunt riding through Shortest straw The shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you Shortest straw Pulled for you Shortest straw Pulled for you Shortest straw The shortest straw has been pulled for you
The accusations fly Discrimination, why? Your inner self to die Intruding Doubt sunk itself in you Its teeth and talons through You're living Catch-22 Deluding A mass hysteria A megalomania Reveal dementia Reveal
Secretly Silently Certainly In vertigo you will be
Shortest straw Challenge liberty Downed by law Live in infamy Rub you raw Witchhunt riding through Shortest straw This shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you Shortest straw Pulled for you Shortest straw Pulled for you Shortest straw Shortest straw has been pulled for you Shortest straw Pulled for you Shortest straw Pulled for you Shortest straw Pulled for you Shortest straw Shortest straw has been pulled for you
Behind you, hands are tied Your being, ostracized Your hell is multiplied Upending The fallout has begun Oppressive damage done Your many turned to none To nothing You're reaching your nadir Your will has disappeared The lie is crystal clear Defending
