1. Revelation I: Day Of Reckoning

And where were you
When I most need you
I always thought that you were
My icon of truth

Now I question everything
Now I question everything
Now I question everything
Now I regret everything

I watched as skies grew darker
And everything turned black
I looked upon my leaders
And watched them turn their backs

Now I question everything
Now I question everything
Now I question everything
Now I regret everything

I witnessed carnage like never before
And watched the bodies slowly burn
I watched the stars falling out of the sky
Then realised it's my turn
I heard a voice like the sound of the ocean
And I just turned and fled
Became regretful for all of my sins
Maybe I have just one chance left
And all around the fires raged
I felt the flames lap at my feet
As angels in black
Descended upon me

My revelation
My revelation

And where were you
When I most needed you
I watched the demons rise
Where were you?

Now I question everything
Now I question everything
Now I question everything
Now I regret everything

Now I cry my last tears
I take my last breath
One final gasp of exhaustion
Then there was nothing left
I watched the fires raining down
I heard the fanfare and thunder
I watched them call to me for help
Oh, how I wished I could
Oh, how I wish I could
Oh, how I wish I could




2. Defaced Photo

Crying tears
Upon your picture
You turned your back
Can't get you out of my head
You can run from me
But I will find you
A lover spurned
Is one that will haunt you

I'm watching you
I'm waiting here for you
I will never leave you

Look what you've done

I took the pictures
I stole the images
I'll tear your life apart
I have a photograph
It has your eyes scratched out
Deface it

In the shadows
I watch you walking
Outside your window
I often watch you sleeping
Just keep looking
Over your shoulder
That smiling photograph of you
Is torn to pieces

I'm watching you
I'm waiting here for you
I will never leave you

I took the pictures
I stole the images
I'll tear your life apart
I have a photograph
It has your eyes scratched out
Deface it

Deface you




3. I, Black Widow

Given a choice to make
Inside a veil, shadowed in secrecy
Trained dark eyes follow an enemy
I watch them knowing that they belong to me

I am Black Widow
And I act in respect of those before
I am Black Widow

Spare me the dignity
Of the thousands that died before
Am I your chosen one?
To tread the path that so many have walked before
Am I a fool or a martyr?
Is my reflection a vision of right or wrong?
Am I a fool or a martyr?
Am I remembered or am I frowned upon?

I am Black Widow
And I act in the memory of those before
I am Black Widow

Never seen
Never showing
My face is a mystery
None shall follow
My path leads me to…

Send love to my family
They will be proud of the missions embarked upon
I will be judged by my Master
He knows so well that I follow his command
And the blood is on your hands
It is the blood of the brothers that died before
I will repay my sisters
I will be saviour of all those that died before

I am Black Widow
And I act in respect of those before
I am Black Widow




4. Tragedy Of The Monochrome Man

Lost control of all my senses
Lost control of my mind
I never thought it would go this far
And I apologise
Whatever happened to my self esteem?
Just take a look at me now
Oh, the tragedy of me
I'm the Monochrome Man

But I am the prisoner
The one you lock the door behind
Now I take a look at it
Take a better look at things

Pleasure, pain
The same mistakes again
I do it for the company
All for your company

Scream my name
Your face still remains
Cos I know I know you'll never leave
I know you'll never leave me…
Alone

Nobody ever leaves me on my own

But take a look at me now
I'm the Monochrome Man
It's the tragedy of me cos
I'm the Monochrome Man

But take a look at me now
Take a look at who's laughing now

My god can't help me now

Locked inside my own four walls
I'm too scared to go outside
Live a like a rat in this stinking hole
But I've never felt so alive
Never taken seriously
I get by with all I can
All I ask is you stay with me here
With the Monochrome Man

But I am not the guilty
It's the way that you created me
Now you are responsible
I'm your responsibility

My new obsession
My fucking possession
But I can't control the images
Can't control the images
Look at my face
Now look at my face!
Cos I know you're never leaving
I know you'll never leave me…
Alone

Nobody ever leaves me on my own

But take a look at me now
I'm the Monochrome Man
It's the tragedy of me cos
I'm the Monochrome Man

But take a look at me now
Take a look at who's laughing now
Take a look at me now




5. My Sick Life

Looking at the pictures in my mind
I saw it
I knew it was wrong but I chose to ignore it
Got one thought left
I got one frame of mind
I got one good reason to fuck myself blind
A little whisky
A little porn
I'm logging on and now the fun has begun
I got one chance left
I got no friends left
And I don't care less
And I don't care less

I wish I knew
How you were feeling
I think I know you
But you don't know me
I wish I knew
What you were thinking
I think I know you
But you don't know me

Taken down the pictures of my family
I don't want to know them
They don't want to know me
My girlfriends left
She got so upset
Cos I wear her dress
When I show for the strangers
I'm thinking too much
And I'm drinking too much
Nicotine is a crutch
But it helps with the shaking
I got one chance left
I got no friends left
And I don't care less
And I don't care less
And there's one dance left
And my brains a mess
And I don't give a fuck
Cos I don't care less

I wish I knew
How you were feeling
I think I know you
But you don't know me
I wish I knew
What you were thinking
I think I know you
But you don't know me

Live in a world of make believe
And every day is a fantasy
And nobody ever talks to me
I don't care cos the only person that matters
Is me

Everybody is laughing at me
Nobody ever talks to me

There's nothing left…..I might as well be dead




6. Revelations II: The Aftermath

Babylon has fallen
As it has been foretold
The Seventh Seal is now broken
Condemning us all
I hold my hands to the skies
This day will be my last
The beast has emerged from the seas
1000 years have passed

And nobody believed these words were fact
That was the Antichrist was coming back
And he wears the colours of America 's flag
These words were prophesized
And I look back at myself

Oh my God
Why can't you save me?
Save me from myself
Oh my Master
What have you done?
My cloak is soaked in your blood

I saw the locusts swarm
I held my head in my hands
Oh what the hell am I hiding from?
I need to understand
The prophet hath spoken
And his word will affect us all
Turning nation against nation
He condemns us all

And nobody believed these words were fact
That was the Antichrist was coming back
And the eyes of flame on a horse's back
These words were prophesized

No, oh no, oh no!

And I look back
I never meant harm
I tried so hard
I tried so hard

I SHALL RISE AGAIN!




7. I Bleed Black (Saint Vitus cover)

Open my veins
I do it everyday
I live in a dark world
Where death is just an L.A. game
Feelings of caring
Are something I lack
Slice me wide
I bleed black
No one comes close
Nobody dares to care
I can tell by their eyes
They're just a bunch of fucking
Unaware squares
They can't tel just where I'm at
Slice me wide I bleed black
They say I'm crazy
I should be locked away
But no bars can hold me
Still spread my decay
Hurt my bad side
I'll make you crack
Slice me wide
I bleed black
