Your word is not the word of God And you are above no man Now take a look at what you've done You will return to destroy again Behold Take Flight Be gone with the night I'm sick of your suffering becoming my plight You made this choice, now live with yourself You are the one who's created this hell And now you bring the whole world down So we're all as low as you And yet your head's held high so proud Build up your walls to block out the truth And now there is no hope but pride A broken man who is on his own And that's the way that you will die Fading out like the saddest song You fool, your pride When will it die? I'm sick of you feeding me ego filled lies I can't lift burdens that you've place on yourself If you seek to be empty you can't be fulfilled

Bow to the queen of hate and artifice Born to rule over this kingdom of lies Cherished and coddled and spoiled since birth Shining as gold, worthless as dirt A whore and a harlot you're Satan's own kin A walking temptation a visual sin Earn your damnation you cowardly soul So fucking worthless a sight to behold You'll pay for what you've done You'll burn for who you are I can not begin to tell How you can live with yourself I hope only horrors await You vile subhuman waste Your knight on his horse high will lead you to death And I hope that you choke on your dying breath Fate gave you chances you spat in its face There's no forgiveness for it's far too late I hope that your guilt eats you inside Claws at your conscious until your soul dies Put on your false face and act as your pure And endless facade no one should endure For too long its been the same Fed on the rats beneath your lay But when the snake is blamed for plague There'll be no help from society
3.
I tire of this lonesome ground Sunsoaked, devoid of sound My thoughts now eat at me I long to cease to be I've punished all of man To rid this earth of sin Coward, don't beg to me I'll show you no mercy I am not the one who's dragged you down Throw that blame back on yourself Don't speak ill of those who've held their toungues They'll be saved when salvation comes God grant my penance and end my existence Lucifer take me, at least hell won't be empty Salvation never comes I scream but am not heard Silence swallows my words I die but not in vain God I can not be saved

Phoenix 04:35
I stare into your lifeless eyes And I can feel your pain It's not the end, please know my friend That I have felt the same Done with life, each day a fight You feel you'll never mend Stand up tall, stronger than all Don't accept the end You know that you've been here before As your phoenix rises up from the flames Of all the demons you've burned and replaced Spread your new wings and you'll Fly, be free, follow me A life without this agony You can learn to live on with out this pain God, your silence screams so loud I need to hear you say I am alive, I will survive, I will defeat this day Just like you've beaten it before As your phoenix rises up from the flames Of all the demons you've burned and replaced As your phoenix rises up from the flames Spread broken wings and you'll fly Away You'll win this godforsaken war As your phoenix rises up from the flames of all the demons you've burned and replaced As your phoenix rises up from the flames Spread broken wings and you'll fly And the phoenix will rise From the fire in your eyes (o)

The flames of discontent Have begun to burden me I now stand convinced I have wronged my destiny Desire not undone For the hopes that I dream of Will come to pass and be The only reason that When my time has come All that I have done Won't fade with time The Wretched Gift of Life Is running out of time I can't waste this one chance The Wretched Gift of Life I yearn to make it mine And set me free And should I be proud of the man that I've become? Or should I be ashamed I've come so close to giving up? And how can I believe That in this world of dreams Mine's the only one that can't be achieved? That idiocracy is choosing to believe that I wont fail?
