As Hope Dies

o this empty sky with eyes of hate for you
great deceiver. holy one. lord of deception. i denounce your name
Legions bow to a faceless God
faithful to their lord
willing to die for this savior
I look into this empty sky with eyes of hate for you
great deceiver. holy one. lord of deception. I denounce your name
Legions bow to a faceless God


2. The Painful Truth

[Instrumental]


3. Deceived

With A hope for purity
you offer up your hands and bow your head to your divine one
these actions done in vain for your faith is built on nothing
but words that hold no weight written by men deceived just like you
willing to sacrifice their lives and live a life according to these false writings
I ask of you to turn against this and to declare against his following
to renounce his throne with all your being for we will set fire to his name
I ask this of you not for myself but in hoe that you may understand that
religions do nothing but kill and deceive the innocent
bow to nothing and find guidance from within for we will set fire to his name


4. His Beloved Maker

These memories they fade quick with every breath
I realize with you gone. I can feel whole. Was forced to bow
but my face will kiss the ground. never again
raped of my everything. I was place in a mold. since my inception
that I had to set a flame with a trembling hand and eyes ready to burst with tears
I commit an act of beauty and walk away from everything
that I had ever been taught and with putting faith in myself
I was given a gift and a chance at life to be mine
These memories they fade quick with every breath
I realize with you gone. I can feel whole
was forced to bow but my face will kiss the ground. never again
so I now stand apart. I look into his empty eyes
a life wasted. caught up on something. he could never even see
he now awaits the embrace of death. waiting for his beloved maker
an angle appears. dressed in fire and whispers it was all a lie


5. Feeding The Broken Words Of Hope In Vain

Born into this world
a fragile being so becomes aclloused by hardsdh reality an bleak circumstance
for the weak will perish in this eternal fire
only leaving hearts made of stone and hate
betrayed by the words of false prophets
feeding the broken words of hope in vain
no comfort can be found in the embrace of insincerity
we hold on by a thread of hope but that thread is nothing but a false glimmer
we are the calloused and the broken baptized in eternal fire
for the weak will perish in this eternal fire
only leaving hearts made of stone and hate
betrayed by the words of false prophets


6. In The Presense Of That Evening

And in the presence of that evening
charged with meaning and with stars
I opened for the first time to the tender indifference of the world
as if my great anger had purged me of all evil
emptied me of everything of hope in finding it so like me
beyond control and ability so fraternal and in the presence of that evening
charged with meaning and with stars I opened for the first time
to the tender indifference of the world
I withheld beauty so that all would be complete
so that I could whisper a new song and fell less alone
I gave up my insides and the only things left for me to hope
for there will be many smiling people
looking on the day of my execution
and that they would welcome me with
cries of hate as if my great anger had purged me of all evil
emptied me of everything of hope welcome me with cries of hate


7. Led Astray

With the blood of millions on your hands the human race is led astray by demons
disguised as angels. The human race suffocates with prophecy that tells of torment
for those who do not believe in what these demons teach and yet they still believe
and yet they still believe you are compassion. that you are the answers to their pain.
this is not the answer to eternal life your sacrifice in vain
For you book off life speaks of no truth it deserves fire. Ill watch it burn.
With the blood of millions on your hands they continue to sacrifice in the name of God.
in the name of love. In the name of compassion when will they learn that there
lives are based on nothing but a false existence in the human race suffocates
with prophecy that tells of torment for those who do not believe in
what these demons teach and yet they still believe
when will they see that your book of life speaks of no truth. It deserves fire. ill watch it burn.


8. A Life Dead To Love

All I wanted was something to hold dear
something to hold near to my heart
denied again I'm left with a bitter taste in my mouth and a heart as cold as ice
with no warmth in sight your embrace feels like a slap to my face
so shallow and fake will this ever end. will my torment ever cease
wishing I could feel nothing. a life dead to love
All I wanted was something to hold dear. something to hold near to my heart
denied again I'm left with a bitter taste in my mouth and a heart as cold as ice
with no warmth in sight hoping for a heart that can feel no pain
rip this from my chest so I can never find it in myself to love and forgive you
will my torment ever cease. wishing I could feel nothing. a life dead to love
free from love. free from emotion. I'm free from you


9. To Slumber

Realized under the cover of darkness
we are the dreams and they are the shadows
of doubt in a lucid mind
in a cocoon of fear
there is nothing left
but to tremble an submit
while all that could of been
lies undiscovered without meaning
what's kept in conquers
what's kept out and we'll be found dead
behind locked doors with prayerless hands
clutching useless keys
asleep forever
