1. Deliver The Suffering
screams fill the night
cries fall upon deaf ears
another one dies
shattering pain life ending in tears
controlled by torture
pain and punishment are one in the same
violent circle
stakes are high when playing my game
screams fill the day
this pain you cannot escape
you have no choice
with tyraninol your mind i rape
my innocense
will constantly deceive you
to your saviour
together we can destroy ourselves
my life is evil
i bring you pain
i will deliver the sufering
once again
you feel the inner pain
terrorized
by the need for sufering
inject the venom
kiss the flesh of death
from my control
slave of pain now put to rest
your antidote
for life i have prescribed
no resistance
from inside i watch you die
my life is evil
i bring you pain
i will deliver the sufering
2. Freewill
frozen in time vicious crime
taken away the misery inside of me
dark shadows of destiny
run rampant like river of wounds through my mind
solitude my relief
my belief in this life of seclusion
signs of life bitter strife
reality slowly fades to illusion
why must i die
trying to satisfy
freewill my life is mine to live
freewil i've nothing left to give
hidden thoughts inside of me
wounds that will not heal
take the power from me
as i see just what is real
living by my standards
i decide just what is right
you won't take me down
for my belief till death i'll fight
i'm victim of my fears
wash the blood away with tears
through the pain and anguish
i've battled through the years
i look into the mirror
of death each is growing day
in your eyes an outcast
why don't you listen to what i say
why must i die
trying to satisfy
freewill life is mine to live
freewill i've got nothing left to give
repeat first verse
repeat chorus
3. Forsaken Hatred
a life of hate through trials of fate
feel dispair, beckong for the truth
suffering the fear of pain
inside of me i cannot escape
hidden feelings suffocation
mental surge excruciating
anger burst inside of me
as i live forsaken hatred
time can't heal emotional scars
brought to life by emotional wars
illusions seen through eyes of fear
trying to make this hell disappear
repeat chorus
agony appeals to me
i can't escape the pressure so i slowly fade away
sanity, tranquility
pleading for the time when my mind and soul are free
life of pain and misery
i've chosen my path i now await my fate
infinite suffering
after forever will still be me
hate in my eyes is the way ridding myself of internal decay
change is constant as i see permanent will never be
clinging tight to the end is my life an eternal sin
life i've seen now disappear drowing in a sea of fear
reality fades away
hattered life hate and dismay
anger burns inside of me
as i die
hidden feelings suffocation
mental surge excruciating
anger burst inside of me
as i live forsaken hatred
4. Souls Of Sacrifice
souls of black
lives of hatred and scorn
fires of darknes
dwelling deep in the mind
blasphemous lies
lijke blood on a double-edged sword
denying the cross
mocking the one they call lord
evil lives everywhere
come with me meet hate and dispair
will i live
or will i die
weak must perish, the strong will survive
seeking death
tormented through suicide
at one with satan
the evil one lives inside
sacrilege
so foolish are your ways
in fire and brimstone
now you eternally rot away
you worship satan
prepare to die
eternally black
souls of sacrifice
you worship satan prepare to die
eternally black souls of sacrifice
walk throgh the gates into flames of hell
and you see that god prevails
souls of black
lives of hatred and scorn
fires of darknes
dwelling deep in the mind
blasphemous lies
lijke blood on a double-edged sword
denying the cross
mocking the one they call lord
evil lives everywhere
come with me meet hate and dispair
will i live
or will i die
weak must perish, the strong will survive
5. Idolatry
born to serve i cannot see
life of pain trying to execute me
tribulation persecution of the weak
souls are lost just to satisfy the hunger
immortal blood of those upon my hands
seeking refuge the promised holy land
eternity is the price worth the cost
servant slays the master
life is of no value
i worship what i hold close to hear
master, please don't betray me
i pray your words will find their place in me
there i was among the dead
the point was clear as the blood was running red
for an isntant i was alone
a thousand years time refuses to unfold
i worshipped one like myself to put the blood to the test
see me, free me, save me, please take me
i gave you life; you choose to die
but now you're free, forsaken me
idolatry, idolatry
can't you see its killing me the pain inside
from my feelings i can't hide
i chose my fate now it's too late life is gone
hellish memories linger on
i walk alone into the dark
bleeding heart now toen apart
sacrifice the dying one
hell is here nowhere to run
hypnotize and mesmerize
eyes of fire seen in disguise
father grant me my last desire
release my soul from the fire
life is of no value
i worship what i hold close to hear
master, please don't betray me
i pray your words will find their place in me
there i was among the dead
the point was clear as the blood was running red
for an isntant i was alone
a thousand years time refuses to unfold
i worshipped one like myself to put the blood to the test
see me, free me, save me, please take me
i gave you life; you choose to die
but now you're free, forsaken me
idolatry, idolatry
6. Legacy Of Faith
you made us in your image
or did we make you in ours
the quest for pure supremacy
now we've limitred your powers
take your place begin the ceremony
i represent all that's righteous and holy
humanity bow down before me
desecration of life
father please forgive me
for i know not what i do
confessing to another
will this release my sin against you
my sanctuary
is rapidly becoming sanctinomious
through my eyes
cast into an archaic mold
afterlife will not surffice
born to die pay the price
take my hand i plant the seed
as the ritusl now proceeds
save me from my fall from grace
victim of innocence legacy of faith
kneel to a god you don't know
finding confort for your soul
before the alter you now stand
drink the blood of the dying lamb
crucifix and statues show
ritualistic minds begin to flow
image of the intangible
the thoughts you can't behold
afterlife will not surffice
born to die pay the price
take my hand i plant the seed
as the ritusl now proceeds
save me from my fall from grace
victim of innocence legacy of faith
7. Subconscious
existing in my mind
thoughts i can't control
altered state begins
confusion takes its toll
the mental struggle
of mind and body are one
oblivious to the moment
when peace of mind sets in
is it real is it a dream
can't open my eyes i cannot scream
a parasite dwelling inside my head
devouring my mind life hanging from a thread
is there another inside of me, deep within my mind
without a trace of life blood i see but i am blind
this can't be reality
fighting for my sanity
though i try i can't break free
from this thing controlling me
subconscious - the war inside my head
subconscious - twisting into form
subconscious - prisoner of pain
subconscious - the war rages ever on
8. Never Believe
before the dawn one of you will betray me
for you my unholy brother better off if you weren't born
for tonight the prophecy will be fulfilled
strike down the leader and the people willscatter
sold my life for a price and now my blood lays on your hands
high priests have gathered
to arrange false evidence and crucify
send forth no more witnesses
we have ruled against this blasphemer
your saviour is worthy of death
awaiting the fate of the world
release the notorious prisoner
and leave the righteous to die
betrayal of life you stole
my life you sold away
the world weighs on your shoulders
repent or take the blame
never believe open arms set to deceive
never believe at the altar i prepare to die
honesty menas nothing you've proven that to me
i can see right through you scarred for life you'll always be
hypocrite until the end yours was by far the superior sin
epitome of corruption let the cycle of life begin
i can see you fighting, fighting for what's right
through trials and tribulations you're better off to die
living for yourself observing no one else
faith and comfort bring pain and misery
as my life does end look to begin again
try not to pretend taking sin after sin
now i see the way life's paved with bitter hate
looking to the sky my soul begins to cry
accept life's final plea of which to set me free
though it's not meant to be denying honesty
your saviour is worthy of death
awaiting the fate of the world
release the notorious prisoner
and leave the righteous to die
never believe open arms set to deceive
never believe at the altar i prepare to die
