- 3. My Acid Words
(Jeff Loomis \/ Warrel Dane)
Death and suffering all around me, no escape so why go on
When no one cares, no one's there, you die inside before you're gone
I've tried to reach the highest point of vision and my dreams appear fulfilled
But held before my eyes is a vision that now lies
Forever searching for the purpose, are we running out of time?
- All Play Dead
I know she can hear me still. I know she can feel me.
The velvet sleep has stilled her, for they are feeding,
while time is ever shifting"
You are the wine of intoxicating faith
You are the axis of time, I am so blind
Bear witness to freedom's fall
- All The Cowards Hide
It's time to play a game
a game of chances
and now recall the names
of those who passed before us
today you could lose your life
do as you're told tow the line
hypocrisy is what we die for
cattle to the slaughter born are we?
- Ambivalent
Blind and ambiguous, all part of the game
I've feigned my ambivalence with a smile
All my hate beneath me forms a cage
All this time to form the man I became
The sun in my hand becomes my despair
For I still want the truth
- And The Maiden Spoke
She was born in 1617
She tasted like the wind always chasing her dreams
She was a tortured soul in pain
She whispered this dark refrain
"You're not alone, so never be afraid
We are the cold and beautiful, you are the blue insane"
- Believe In Nothing
into a strange new world, into the after
all your tears might find you've fallen too far
take another look, take another ride
can't we make them leave the hate behind
and I still believe in nothing
will we ever see the shape of tomorrow?
- Beyond Within
"Welcome to the fall"
Welcome millennium, the fall of planet hate
Welcome the end my friend, all the world's the stage
Welcome to the future, the world is black no turning
From the consequence of ignorance
Welcome to the fall
- Bittersweet Feast
Please let me help you bury your dead
They've made the incision and driven their industry's waste in your head
(The pyres in the distance glow beyond the haze
The hypocrites bear witness to the end of days)
This is your final warning, a war on freewill is coming
This disillusion, this ignorant display
- Born
Religion changed the face of man, thou shalt not kill, we all are gone
The seed of ignorance is born, thou shalt not think, thou shalt conform
The pigs order us to follow orders and obey
The flies drink the decaying nectar of their tortured effigy
Cling to wasted beliefs and visions and bathe in apathy again
No solution, the retribution of spiritual sickness begins
- Cenotaph
"And I will build this in her name.
The dream will not allow failure,
only servitude, for I am it's slave"
Foreboding fear trickles down the spine
Into the pool, resonating
Behind the wall the dreamer lies in velvet sleep
She must be still, never make a sound
- Chances Three
There's just three chances in your life
To shine in the sun
Take them, live through them
They show you how to love
Youth is fleeting and sweet
Full of wonder, then falling away
Turn and you're grown, earning wisdom
- Dead Heart In A Dead World
To see the last survivor fall
To see their bastards sons against the wall
To see the emptiness as we decay
I see the world is dead, I am betrayed
Dead heart in a dead world
Dead heart in a dead world
- Deconstruction
My perfect reflection swims
through the drowning pool. The sky is gone.
My world is in deconstruction
The fallen that dreams suicide
Takes the needle, instead of the gun
The victim who self crucifies can't realize
Christ is a weapon that chisels at our lives
- Dreaming Neon Black
Sometimes when I'm alone I still feel you
Your breath on my neck, you're still with me
And I'm still dreaming neon black
I wait for you, to taste your unknown world
The clock spins to time that must mean nothing
Meet me in the dreamtime water, drown
Shifting shaping currents flow in memory
- Emptiness Unobstructed
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained
- Enemies of Reality
We are the nothing grating against the norm
We are the something that will not conform
No one understands what we've been given
We are the useless by-products of soulless meat
We are all gone we all sing the same tragedy
Open wide and EAT THE WORMS of the enemy
- Engines Of Hate
Can I be your personal demon
Sit back absorb the words
And feast on my mind semen
Can I be the devil on your shoulder
We all fall down as the world gets colder
I uncreate, I desecrate
I spit the truth into the engines of hate
- Final Product
Final Product
The media loves the latest tragic suicide
They exploit it, then package it
And profit from the people who die
Look at the world, look at the hell,
Look at the hate we've made
- Forever
In this neon black gloom I still see her face.
She comes to me bringing darknest hour,
I am forlorn.
The pain is reborn.
You are forever in my heart you never died.
You are forever I still wonder where you are.
- Inside Four Walls
Inside Four Walls\В четырёх стенах
Inside four walls I live my life
Doesn't matter what I've done
The government's always right
They tell us what to be, tell us what to believe
They're wrong, my friend is gone
- Insignificant
Ours is not to question the reasons why
Crippled indecision repeats the path I once denied
Insignificant, am I ?
The color of sundown,of crimson sky
The beauty that breaks down
And gives the day unto the night
And then one day you'll realize
- Matricide
Hear our Mother crying in silent tears
For she can't speak, she only cries She cries to me
Draw the final curtain, for senseless thoughts
And senseless hands have shaped the future
Is it not what you thought would come?
Or maybe people no longer care for Mother Earth
Earth Mother is screaming, we can't live without her
No time left for dreaming here, she knows Have we forgot our future?
- Narcosynthesis
Hypnotize me, mesmerize me
Drain the color from my eyes
Patronize me, energize me
Change the world, internalize
How did it come to this,
Narcosynthesis
How did it come to this,
- Never Purify
Scrape the pain off of my lips and watch our lives unwind
When I am in the camera eye self-immolation can never purify
Look at me, I'm on display
Another animal in this zoo our creator betrayed
If you don't feel the lesson, you're blind and deaf my son
But don't run
- No More Will
"For some there are no choices"
No more will to live, I see the world fade
No more hope inside, my life means nothing anyway
Just shades of gray, I slip away again
Feed me from the heart of your denial
The velvet sleep is conviction only fools know
- Noumenon
Regret nothing, resistance is remorse
All feeling is to now be without consequence
Truth has become media controlled
Open wide and eat the worms of the enemy
Reality is distortion of perception
We are the enemy
There is no stronger drug than reality
- Poison Godmachine
"I know what it wants now...the void
has swallowed the light and the machine
wants my soul"
The media machine knows what to do
It knows how to feed the poison to you
Useless information for your useless little lives
The tv lies and pacifies
- Sea of Possibilities
Here I come again like the sun
The question on your thoughts' horizon
The quest is in learning theology
Pouring logic and opinion in me
One step closer
Everything comes back to you in time
One step closer
- Seed Awakening
There is no stronger drug than reality
Twist and change, time is nothing, regret everything
Witness Seed Awakening
Witness Seed Awakening
The execution solution, we're weeding out the weak
So condemn their revelations, the masses love the death show
- Sell My Heart For Stones
Did you ever wonder why the wind blows cold?
Did you ever realize your face is painted on my soul?
In between your whispers so sincere
I'll catch you when you fall
Through the eyes of broken innocence
I'd sell my heart for stones
Leave it all behind and fade away
- Sentient 6
I am sentient number six, I stand in line
I Am the prototype of a benign convenience for mankind
Superior is digital, human flesh so trivial
I hate that I can't see the one that made me
I am the new awakening of differnent eyes
My children you are my army
They are what we can never see and still despise
- The Blue Marble And The New Soul
Welcome to planet Earth
Tread your steps carefully
For the ground can twist and turn
Tread your steps carefully
For the ground may twist and turn
Choose your friends wisely
- The Heart Collector
To see the actor without tears
Dark rivers carve the years between the lines of self control
In my psychotic karmic fear,I own your tears anyway
And I am you and we are not afraid
And we won't be here for long
The heart collector sings his song that's slowly boiling over
- The Hurting Words
Sometimes it's so hard to show the way you feel
Sometimes it seems like the words aren't real
Sometimes it makes no difference what you're trying to say
When all the words come out wrong anyway
I've said too many words to catch them all in time
I've used the hurting words that took away your shine
- The Obsidian Conspiracy
Blank in your selfish state and enraged
Never should one die that cannot decide the truth
Never should one cry. So suffer the children
The snakes arrive to assist and surround the stage
Black expressions in force-fed rage
Create and deny your subversive wings
The obsidian conspiracy is rising
- The Psalm of Lydia
The Psalm Of Lydia:
When I blacked out in the winter months of Capricorn
I had a strange dream that I lived a thousand winters gone
A thousand winters faded gray and shuttered by the wind
To tell the tale of Lydia, her legacy begins uprising
Unveiling the absurdity in the tragedy of man
And its hero, the all-seeing wyrm
- The River Dragon Has Come
Today the warning came in the flood
Architects and fools never cared for poor men's blood
Cursed to repeat the past they are
The river dragon swims upstream
They've built another wall
The three will fall
- The Sanity Assassin
See the man of hungry mind
Never had a dream to call his own
His sin in form of thought
He lived to milk the minds of the blind
To rule the sea of imagination
And the sanity assassin
Is coming down to steal your mind
- The Seven Tongues Of God
Every man will ask the questions,
and every man will suffer blame and loss
Every day you die a little, understand the change
and choose your path without disdain
The seven tongues of god are in my mind,
they speak to me in ancient DNA design
I have never seen god, you have never seen god
And when they speak to me and the seven tongues align
- The Termination Proclamation
Eyes that shall never see
A life chosen not to be fulfilled
Fate does not choose a life
Before the hand of Man
As the ants march you to your grave
Welcome to this violent station
- This Godless Endeavor
And on the open road we came to a sign
For it was foretold that the weak would inherit
And nothing would change
Here we are at the crossroads, standing face to back
Still afraid to see our eyes
I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone
Sitting here sideways on a cold stone floor
- Tomorrow Turned into Yesterday
Inside black decision concealing what no one knows but I
To regain the vision that my freewill once cast aside
Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday
The sweet downhill sadness of our slow decay
Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday
And I see the fault of the steps that I mislaid
- We Disintegrate
I am the poet
The prophet in the pit
Like a hollow-point bullet straight to the head
I never miss
You
Within the dark communion of self awareness
There lies a void called ego
- What Tomorrow Knows
Dreams lie smashed again
They've pinned your back to the wall
Like faded pictures of what might have been
Fate is cruel when dreams, like candles, fade
Smashed again down into the gray
Despise for a world turned cold
No one sees what tomorrow knows
- Who Decides
And so we meet again, the dirt on our feet but then
Who knows who really decides?
In this spacial oddity, this viral commodity
The astronaut listens to voices that call
Won't you follow me down?
Breathe, as you suffer with existence
Rags and ruin of all that was human
- Without Morals
Thread the path of sin and sorrow
Swimming to the wreck
If you slowly pull the news you choose
To wake us if you're dead
So until you until you cannot feel
The pressure never dies
- Your Poison Throne
Rise Rise Rise
Rise, Rise, Rise
Rise, Rise, Rise
What do you want from this world
What do you want from this life
what do you want from this season of sorrow
That's waiting to swallow the light
- Безликий
Как-то в полночь, в час угрюмый, утомившись от раздумий,
Задремал я над страницей фолианта одного,
И очнулся вдруг от звука, будто кто-то вдруг застукал,
Будто глухо так затукал в двери дома моего.
«Гость,— сказал я,— там стучится в двери дома моего,
Гость — и больше ничего».
Ах, я вспоминаю ясно, был тогда декабрь ненастный,
