Shattered Hearts
The pain I feel still hurts me to this day
The pain inside still feels exactly the same
As the second you moved on, the moment you were taken away
Years from now I ask my self
Will I ever see you again?
Years from now I ask my self
Will I ever feel your love again?
Feel your love again?
Time continues to pass us on by
As others move on and others continue to die
The memories of you will never fade away
As long as my love for your still remains
I have forever lost my saviour
The only love that I ever truly knew
I can’t seem to find my place
Or know where I seem to belong
Years from now I ask my self
Will I ever see you again?
Years from now I ask my self
Will I ever feel your love again?
Why is it that some of us left here
Losing our minds after loved ones have died
Why is that I am left picking up the pieces
Of shattered hearts and broken minds
Shattered hearts and minds
Feel free to explain to me
Explain to me
Feel free to enlighten me
Enlighten me
Your memory will forever remain
The love you gave to me will never be changed
Your memories will be with me till my last day
My heart will stay with you until the day that I meet my grave
Time continues to pass us on by
As others move on and others continue to die
The memories of you will never fade away
As long as my love for your remains

Black Tie Stigma
Greed fuels consumption whores
A never ending thirst, from the product of the poor
The system fails, yet they still succeed
Slaves work to death to satisfy the need
Factories made, like prison walls
As peasants work, upon beckon and call
No refuge, just supply and demand
Windows barred from exit, with profits in hand
Days grow longer
Master’s call grows louder
What is left, you choose not to believe
The price of design, despair you cannot see
Every blood stained stitch, a cost you must bare
To make a saving, on money never shared
On money never shared
Factories made
No refuge
Like prison walls
Just supply and demand
As peasants work
Windows barred from the inside
Upon beckon and call
With profits in your hand
Days grow longer
His call grows louder
Factories made, no refuge
Like prison walls, just supply and demand
As peasants work, windows barred from the inside
Upon beckon and call, with profits in your hand
With profits in your hand

Greed Agreement
The ones that we've elected to lead
Are up to their old tricks of under table secrets and greed
The ones that we've elected to lead
Are still the same ones that are lying to you and me?
We all know how this circus works
The ones in suits will help this world burn
Opinions views and our lives, better off not seen heard or recognised
Locked away behind closed doors
Thinking we won't hear them at all
All of their lies will come to surface
For their profit the public will wear it
We all know how this circus works
The ones in suits will help this world burn
Opinions views and our lives, better off not seen heard or recognised
If this vicious cycle remains the same
The world will end up burning in flames
We will all be the ones to blame,
We are the ones who control our fate
If we just sit here nothing will change,
We will all be the ones to blame
The world spins on money, lies and hate
You and I will be the ones to wear the blame
Time and time again, this evil rears its ugly head
Taking everything it believes we should share
We are the only ones who seem to pay the ultimate sacrifice
The rich keep on getting richer and the poor well they’re just left to die
This shit we are drowning in, is reaching boiling point
We are slowly running out of places to cower and hide
I’d rather take up arms then roll over and die
Least that way when they bury me, they will know I brought hell into all of their lives.
The end of corruption is finally happening one by one
Your riches mean nothing to me, when your judgement finally comes
The end of corruption is finally happening one by one
Your riches mean nothing to me, in the eyes of the world you're fucking guilty!
If this vicious cycle remains the same
The world will end up burning in flames
We will all be the ones to blame,
We are the ones who control our fate
If we just sit here nothing will change,
We will all be the ones to blame
The world spins on money, lies and hate
You are going to feel all our pain
You will feel this!

A Question of Faith

A QUESTION OF FAITH
The world as we know it is starting to change
Spiritual evolution in its final stage
There is nothing you can do to stop the sway
As mindless drones bow their head to pray
Blindly following their so called faith
All the rules and the sins they convey
Will condemn man kind to eternal flames
And set this world ablaze
Leaders of faith
That you trust
Will lead the life
Gluttony and lust
It's their way of
Controlling all of us?
Finally we come with our open eyes
Fighting with the power of our own minds
Faith had you believe in a book that brings us higher love
Scribed on the pages with innocent blood
Finally we come with our open eyes
Fighting with the power of our own minds
A constant war fought upon false beliefs
Will bring nothing but terror, pain and grief
We no longer need holy ideals to survive
Until the day the hand reaches out from the sky
We will continue to call you out on your lies
The truth will come to us in due time
When I exhale my last breath
To move on from this life to the next
Take my hand one last time
I will show you the truth when we die
Finally we come with our open eyes
Fighting with the power of our own minds
Faith had you believe in a book that brings us higher love
Scribed on the pages with innocent blood
Finally we come with our open eyes
Fighting with the power of our own minds
A constant war fought upon false beliefs
Will bring nothing but terror, pain and grief
Finally we come with our open eyes
Fighting with the power of our own minds
Faith had you believe in a book that brings us higher love
Scribed on the pages with innocent blood
Finally we come with our open eyes
Fighting with the power of our own minds
A constant war fought upon false beliefs
Will bring nothing but terror, pain and grief

Asher’s Lullaby
Take a step, in the ground, you believer
See the light of the past grow weaker
Break the ties, from the ones that betrayed
There is no one left to save
Trust your heart, dream of love and then it’s taken
What you thought came to life, left you broken
You gave yourself, received a gift so tainted
Now it’s one mess for the making
The pain inside you grows
Release it from the world you know
Take it down; strap it up in your final judgement
You hear it laughing, yet its mouth stays frozen
Pour the gas, light the match, salvation's closer
It is the fear that brings you closure
The pain inside you grows Release it from the world you know
A gift from the one that you hate, is a symbol of your one last mistake?
You can leave it to rot or let your instincts guide you?
Time grows short, seconds draw, why are you waiting?
You done right, now been wronged, Tension courses
Through your mind, you’re out of options.
It is time for the unmaking?
There it sits, in your room, in peace waiting,
Broken pieces, a reminder unforgotten.
Take it down, to a place, no one will hear.
Your gift, to do as you care.
The pain inside you grows Release it for the grandest show.
I gave you my heart, the very essence of my being
But it didn’t make you stay
I couldn’t make you see me
I believed every word
Every promise in your lies
Now I need you to remind me, what it is to feel alive
I’m convinced that there’s no way out
From the fate that I deserve
I feel as though I’m changing now
I’m not sure that you know me
I sit Comfortable within this pain
I would love for you to join me
Let your betrayal be my release
One final salute to your deceit
Let there be solace within these flames
This is all for you
Take it down; strap it up in your final judgement
You hear it laughing, yet its mouth stays frozen
Pour the gas, light the match, salvation's closer.
It is the fear that brings you closure.
The pain inside you grows
Release it from the world you know.
A gift from the one you hate
It is yours to do what you say,
Watch it all burn away
In eternal flames
Watch it all burn away

My Endless Love

MY ENDLESS LOVE
In the back of my psyche
In the depths of despair
You will find me stalking
Awaiting you there
Conflicted by ones purpose
With chaos in mind
You are the sweetest gift that
The devil could find
But no innocence can reside
Captured in a tortured mind
Evil here is all you will find
In a body of such beauty
The scent of your flesh
Sends shivers right to my spine
As I cut your heart from your chest
Temper your sorrow
Silence your cries
No one is leaving
Here alive
You were my obsession
Cravings have grown
I must have you
All to my own
As fate twists its tail around your neck
The life leaves through your eyes
It was never for god to decide
Who lives and who dies
It has
And will always, be mine
The scent of your flesh drives me insane
Your rotten corpse still continues to decay
The blood in your veins starts to coagulate
My love for you still remains

Vultures of Virtue
They are pulling the plug
Turning off the power
The weak hide behind a pixel wall
We will shout the loudest chorus
Where the heroic start to fall
You are self-entitled
And self-righteous
You are no longer correct
This title that you hold on to
No longer has the same effect
They are pulling the plug
Turning off the power
They hide from all our vision
They all want us to see
They all want us to hear
They sure as hell don’t want us to feel
There are no rules in a world
Without boundaries
No walls to keep them contained
The faceless and nameless keep chanting our names
All of your opinions
Will amount to nothing
Everything you know
Doesn’t make you someone
Everything you feel
Doesn’t need a forum
One billion whispers, trying to be heard
Who really cares?
They are pulling the plug
Turning off the power
They hide from all our vision
They all want us to see
They all want us to hear
They sure as hell don’t want us to feel

What is it that seems to be wrong?
It keeps getting harder for me to feel wanted
Or find a place to belong
Your affection is what I need
Your unconditional love is all that I seek
My existence is a mistake you will not forget
A reminder of choices that you regret
It was never me that asked for this life
I never asked for the constant tears to spill from my eyes
My heart is empty from the constant spewing of poisonous lies
If I could change it all I’d make you live your life like it was mine
My existence is a mistake that you would rather forget
A reminder of one choice that you will forever regret
Why does hate seem to be the only thing?
That makes the loneliness disappear deep from within
Why is it every time I dream of you?
I want take your life and destroy it right in front of you
Your life
Destroy it

Devil You Know
(Devil we created)
Never held accountable for such acts of treason
Now we are stranded, trapped in a lie
Every chance of salvation is slowly passing us by.
Is this the way that you envisioned to die?
The jokers and the thieves
March in their masquerade
They have been lying to you and me
The world’s in decay
Their guns are pointed in our direction
You see the enemy in your reflection
The words of truth that have been spoken
Will be the next ones in line to be broken
Their guns are pointed in our direction
Now we are lambs to the slaughter
In our own doomsday parade
The devil now walks among us
And chaos now rules supreme
Nations crumble at the seams
Watch as the people of this earth fall to their knees
Without a messiah to be seen
No one is absolved from the coming of the bloodshed
Defeated sings the chorus as bombs line the skies
You invited death into all of our lives
Arms wide open you welcomed your demise
We are the ones who let death inside
Their guns are pointed in our direction
You see the enemy in your reflection
The words of truth that have been spoken
Will be the next ones in line to be broken
Their guns are pointed in our direction
Now we are lambs to the slaughter in our own doomsday parade

REDEMPTION
Finally someone has answered the call
This world has been screaming out for someone to save them all
With reason and logic its balance we bring to restore
The tide we are in is starting to change as waves begin to break on us all
We have heard the fear in your calls
We are here now to save you all
We as the people have held our tongues for way to long
We as the people are fed up with the bullshit that you’re trying to feed us
It is time for us to rise up and reclaim the power we lack
The world belongs to us and we are here to finally claim it back
Enough is enough
Stand together with us
Unite as one
Destroy what is silencing us
Destroy the monsters that we created
That thing that was created from our hatred
Destroy the titans that we created
Pull down the pillars of their safe haven
The time of change is finally upon us
The fear that you live with
Will no longer control us
Free from the shackles of bias control
We are now ready to break free from the tyrants hold
We cannot be stopped
You have lost control of every single one of us
We have destroyed your chains of restraint
For the wrongs you have done
You will pay
The freedom that we fight for is finally in our grasp
Through persistence we have finally taken the power back
We have heard the fear in your calls
We are here now to save you all
The time of change is finally upon us
The fear that you live with
Will no longer control us
Free from the shackles of bias control
We are ready to break free the tyrants hold
The time of change is finally upon us
The fear that you live with
Will no longer control us
