I′d never leave you But fate has come to silence me It′s become so hard to breathe I can not reach you And soon the earth will cover me Darkness is all that I see Forever is waiting The final steps you′re taking Will soon be buried in the sand All the battles They say we won They leave another thousand lives undone Another thousand lives undone Forever is waiting The final steps you′re taking Will soon be buried in the sand You′re gone, but not forgot Another hero lost The sorrow builds with every passing All the lessons that you taught And all the light you brought Lives on in the eyes of your son
Ten boots, a-battered and a-beaten Holes in our soles where the desert has eaten But they′re holdin′ out and they′re so easy fittin′ Just a few holes where the rattlesnakes have bitten
They ain′t too fancy and they′re just a little dirty But they mean a lot to us, we think they′re awful purty We wear ′em all the time, from morning to night If you wanna take ′em from us, then you′re in for the a fight
We wouldn′t trade for whiskey or a lover They′ve taken us further than either of the other And when we′re gone, we won′t be a-carin′ Six feet under, you know what we′ll be wearin′
Ten boots, a-rollin′ and a-rompin′ Ten boots, a-stompin′ and a-kickin′ up A cloud of dust, a might hi-ho Silver Ten boots, a-ten boots ain′t stoppin′
My boots an′ me, oh, we′re a-never knowin′ From day to day just where we′ll be a-goin′ Down a dusty road, or a-ridin′ on a rail Lovin′ or a-fightin′, they′ll never fail me Yah ho huh
Soon a darkened pyramid will rise There will be no escaping from the all seeing eye Lost in blindness Serving shielded masters still unknown Chaos is their goal Corrupt you heart and soul The air is getting thin Will you give in? All the voices of the lost and forgotten Still lay in their graves they′ve been silenced for their thoughts Lost in blindness The history is written in their blood Chaos is their goal Corrupt you heart and soul The air is getting thin Will you give in? Burning the lives and the pride of the innocents Tearing down all that we built!
Drowning yourself in a world of lies Wandering lost, until the ego dies Perceptions been tainted by your lack of free will We have become what we once most feared
The brilliance of the light′s been dulled to grey Denying our souls of the most noble truths Trapped within and blinded by youth
We must end this wicked game Mourning a dead world Empty life of relentless shame Mourning a dead world See through what′s been taught to you Mourning a dead world Breathe in life and seek the truth Mourning a dead world rus:]
As progress paves the forest and paints the sky Cities rise like cancer, rive of life is dry Spirits of ancients will then awake a rise The seal is broken, final sign of our demise
We must end this wicked game Mourning a dead world Empty life of relentless shame Mourning a dead world See through what′s been taught to you Mourning a dead world Breathe in life and seek the truth Mourning a dead world
Awake and rise Redemption fires Burn the lies Redemption fires
Fighting to control my mind But tragedy is all I find! The panic builds up from deep within the subconscious mind Always thought that the pain would end with the passage of time No matter how many layers deep you try to hide yourself They will all crack and peel away to reveal something else From the past we must break free Come to terms with all that tortures me Tragic memories invade Let the storm winds wash them all away I will be the only one who is left to decide There will be more that is left for compromise Break away from the curse of man′s original sin Turn away as you stay hidden behind a twisted grin Tragic memories invade Let the storm winds wash them all away Purified I stand before the flames As the ashes cover yesterday Imprisoned by actions of the past No use holding on

Reflecting on this life Through the eyes of ancients The wisdom of beyond CHANT! Chant them down DOWN! Into nothing This power screams out from within Like the trees that struggle towards the sun Once again in due season we are reborn Strike down the heathen. THIS MUST END Swaying deeply in rhythm with the winds There are eternal lessons within its pulse Raising their false banners of hope Lies everlasting Fighting to save their self interest DREAD UPRISING! An end to it all DREAD UPRISING Watch as they fall
Spit your words of fury, Tear your way beneath the skin. Infecting with doubt, A useless web you spin.

Hidden away from view You start your fires The child you became king Of the jackels and the liars.
What is it you hope to gain from this? NOTHING! What is it you hope to prove with this? NOTHING! Breaking Your Fingers!!! Silence your voice Breaking Your Fingers!!! You′ve made your choice.

I only wanted to Kill the pain and the sorrow Instead I buried you And killed the happiness in me Can you hear the laughter Coming from my grave? Suddenly it seems to me That I am my own worst enemy We can never hope to breathe In this misery Full speed with blinders on Never stopped to see the horror I think you always knew I′d drag you down to hell with me Suddenly it seems to me That I am my own worst enemy We can never hope to breathe Tangled in this misery Think of all I′ve said and done All the fights I thought I won Another scar for the chosen son The ungodly one How can I Purge this venom from my veins? Your sweetest suicide Drags you in and flips that switch As you fade away With the breath of every hit
The threads of life start to tear Hang above the pit of our despair Seems the end is growing near The life you knew will disappear Every human life will overlap and intertwine Create the fabric and the destiny of mankind START THE FIRES TILL THEY SURROUND They start the fires burning until they surround Is there nothing left Worth fighting for? Forever more Beneath the waterline Sinking further down I dwell in silence now Awake and face the truth of all that you have lost A tongue tied explanation raining down from scattered thoughts START THE FIRES TILL THEY SURROUND They reinforce their doubts until they draw blood Forever more Beneath the waterline Sinking further down I dwell in silence now Forever more I will leave this world behind Finally I drown I dwell in silence now
Choking in the grip of suspicion Trapped beneath the sword of absolution Escape is impossible, Indulge yourself in ignorance Blocking out the sun, turning in the breeze Hung high above in a noose of sympathy What has become? The seeds I"ve sown Still haunting m endlessly Escape is impossible Indulge yourself in ignorance What has become? The seeds I"ve sown Still haunting me endlessly Thy will be done All I′ve been shown Is still haunting me endlessly Escape is impossible Indulge yourself ignorance Choking in the grip of suspicion Trapped beneath the sword of absolution Through the souls of ages This deceitful elevation Collapsing into rages From corrupted meditations What hs become? The seeds I′ve sown Still haunting me endlessly Thy will be done All I′ve been shown Is still haunting me endlessly Indulge in the pleasures of the fallen Give yourslef away
Intimidation I stand before you now Hold my ground, you won′t strike me down A validation Of all the blood I spilled Survival of my will There′s nothing left to say Yourself you have betrayed We must try to seize the day All the world will hear you Redemption in the power of the sound Interpretation Of all the thoughts I shared Draw you near, creating all your fear A brand new nation For those who preserve The future is so clear A validation of all the blood I spilled A validation... All your blood spilt
I am the heir of the damned kingdom Born into a legacy of regret Searching for the promise of salvation Overwhelmed by the tides of our despair Been pulled deep into the chasm By the grip of our desire THE GRIP OF OUR DESIRE Must escape the weight of this depression The choices that lead you to dismay Who would save those who condemn themselves CRIPPLE! Cripple your own savior The failure, failure of the devout Set in motion by final sacrifice Change begun in the name of righteousness Infiltrated by greed, lust and hatred Once more corrupted by the hands of man Been pulled deep into the chasm By the grip of our desire Must escape the weight of this depression The choices that lead you to dismay The handsome mask of the devil The lure of the cross! Of the dark! You violate the sacred with your greed Prey upon the people′s misery and needs With your greed, with your greed, with your greed! I am the heir of this damned kingdom Born into a life of regret Searching for a promise That′s no longer kept
Seeing it all Heeding the call Lost! Without hoping to be found A willing exile, I turn away Rather face the endless silence Than the hopeless and fear of today The ashes choke the sky Death′s swift hand in disguise Awaiting the final call No use hesitating ARE WE Fearful of how dark it′s grown? The emptiness surrounds WILL NOT BELIEVE Refuse to think I′m on my own Who will be CAST OUT? Trust! In the lies that held you bound Their twisted values lead you astray They disgrace th world with violence Leaving bitterness despair and decay
(In the) Darkened shroud of morning Simplified in face and stature Blessing in the storming Sweetness of a subtle feature Alone and safe inside Without worry, with out knowing who′s Been cast aside Twisted down, escape to rest
I will writhe in my December
These crafted understandings Smother citadel defending They′ll miss a motive is cast together (The) comfort, effort in the end Alone and safe inside Without worry Who′s been kept alive Without knowing
I will writhe in my December
Learned, learned I love the air here And I learned, learned I love the roar in my ears I satiate this urge of mine I substitute the urge to hide Alone, alone and safe inside
The echoes creep into your dreams Torn awake from your sleep Unholy nightmare of savagery THIS CAN NOT BE! The warmth soaks into your fingers and soothes away the pain Franticly replay the days The tattered clothes still drape your frame Crimson cloaked memories Blood soaked destiny This can not be the way it seems Incapable of these things Lost hold of demons inside of me (The damage done) The desolation that′s inside us This violence lurks beneath the skin (Beneath the skin) Do not be fooled by the quiet (What I′ve become) This silent killer dwells within The conclusion comes crashing in This is happening once again! Can it be that I am capably murderous?
