Of Man and Machine

Would you forget everything and run, or face everything and rise? Another crack in your foundation, patching up your wall Another thought comes haunting, and everyday it shows Now - the choice is yours Stand and fight / or run and hide You're the architect of your construction, building walls with bricks of fear You're the keeper of your conscience, pouring through the cracks in your wall This is the final answer, this is the turning point Your paranoia's rising, day by day it grows Look deep inside, of yourself Run and hide, forget it all? The time is now, to make a stand The choice is yours - fight or hide You're the owner of your own value, spit shined or spit back on You're the hero of your own story, or the coward in mine. This is the final answer, this is the turning point Your paranoia's rising, and everyday it shows Look deep inside, of yourself Run and hide, forget it all? The time is now, to make a stand The choice is yours - fight or hide You stand alone against it all / Your train of thought’s derailing Feel the pressure building up / Put 'em up or put them down Look deep inside, of yourself Run and hide, forget it all? The time is now, to make a stand The choice is yours - fight or hide

Inside this prison of flesh I dream of darkness I feel the world go by Await the end Caught in the maelstrom, I'm going under Life pass before my eyes Straight out of hell Scarred, beat and broken Stuck in limbo - Sick, twisted, fallen Death is calling - I wish this pain would end I sense your hands around me a sweet sensation I feel the fading of me Embrace the end Caught in the maelstrom, I'm going under Life pass before my eyes Straight out of Hell Scarred, beat and broken Death awaits me - Sick, twisted, fallen Hear it calling - I wish this pain would end Take This life away Away from me Straight out of hell Scarred, beat and broken Stuck in limbo - Sick, twisted, fallen Death is calling - I want this life to end Scarred, beat and broken Sick, twisted, fallen

Tick tick tick your time is running out Can you feel the pressure building up Get stressed, it's running away from you The feed is calling for your soul Shutting it in / tuning it out Plugging your ears to drown out the world So dead inside / Your mind is numb Chemical warfare inside of your brain Enslaved / By the stream We bow / to the algorithm We're trapped in this constant fear of losing out Of missing something vital It's all just noise, overwhelming noise But we crave more, so much more Feel the craving screaming in your mind Just one more fix / then you're done Shutting it in Tuning it out So dead inside Chemical warfare inside of your brain Enslaved / By the stream We bow / to the algorithm We're trapped, in this constant fear Of losing out, of missing something vital It's all just noise, overwhelming But we crave more, we crave more We're trapped, in this constant fear Of losing out, of missing something vital It's all just noise, overwhelming But we crave more, we crave more

Now - now is the time, the time to repent to fall down and beg for my mercy Beg - beg for your life, your life is spent This is the task you were given Cry - cry out in pain, screaming my name Witness the rise of my fury The beast is unleashed It's screaming for blood The hour has come Soon you are nothing Fear - fearing the pain, pain of my gift Gift of my furious power Burn - burning your mind, clearing the mold Tasting the wonderful agony Done - now you are done, this empty shell Ready to worship your master Invade your mind Slowly drinking your pain Consume your flesh And now you're nothing There is no release Just pain and fury The beast is unleashed It's screaming for blood The hour has come Soon you are nothing

A new world order! Come Armageddon / Blister the earth And wash the blood away / with poisoned water Stare into the light, Salvation take us home A falling angel's blinding light Come set us free One final curse we gave ourselves Our shooting star Of man and machine Eradicated Our species's fallen Grinding the gears In the broken machine Slave under Gods Awake the hunger Bloodlust for fame We're bound to fail, So detonate the sun Stare into the light, Salvation take us home A falling angel's blinding light Come set us free from past mistakes One final curse we gave ourselves Our shooting star will end the reign Of man and machine Our newborn God Await our hunger Lusting for blood Annihilation Collision course Stare into the light Come Armageddon

Silence - Overwhelming anger's taking over Consuming - Your clear sky's falling Whatever reason, you've given to yourself Enough is enough, you keep falling behind, you keep telling yourself, all the lies that you lie And the rest of the time, you keep asking yourself, was it all that you could, when you gave it your all Breathe in the comfort, and taste the poisoned wine Treading waters, break the surface - and touch the flame Judgment - Against the odds you stand Outnumbered - A storm is coming for you Whatever reason, you've given to yourself Self loathing season, you’re going down now For all your treason, you've given up yourself It’s over now, ‘cus... Enough is enough, you keep falling behind, You keep telling yourself, all the lies that you lie And the rest of the time, you keep asking yourself, was it all that you could, when you gave it your all Breathe in the comfort, and taste the poisoned wine Drag the waters, break the surface - and kiss the ground

Using my loyalty, drinking my power You never gave anything back Feeding my doubts while you leech on my kindness Leaving me empty and drained I had enough of your empty promises I had enough of your lies I had enough of your soul sucking ego This is the end of the road I'm fed up With your shit We are done Forever I got so fooled by your hollow lies But I've had enough Now I had enough I got so fooled By your hollow lies Vampire Vampire Something was always the cause of your problems Nothing was ever your fault And when I was weak and in need of your comfort You threw it all back in my face I had enough of this so called friendship I had enough of your cries I had enough of your self righteous bullshit This is the end of the road I'm fed up With your shit We are done Forever I got so fooled by your hollow lies But I've had enough I had enough I got so fooled By your hollow lies Vampire Vampire Don’t wanna be your unpaid therapist Stuck with your endless rants You pushed me over the limit I am finally done Had enough of your constant excuses Had enough of the pain Had enough of this constant giving This is the end I got so fooled by your hollow lies But I've had enough I had enough I got so fooled By your hollow lies Vampire Vampire

As the darkness grows the silence brings me back And the whispers rise to plead with me again Can't you hear the voices screaming? The noise is overwhelming me It's breaking me down The demons in me are demanding pain I'm suffering! The darkness inside is slowly suffocating me This overwhelming horror is playing with my mind I'm staring in the mirror and I scream Take me away! Trapped inside this never ending nightmare screaming for it all to go away Questioning the truths that they are whispering to me And all the lies I know I told myself Slowly spiraling into the dark abyss Welcoming the pain that burns my soul Can't you hear the voices screaming? The noise is overwhelming me It's breaking me down The demons in me are demanding pain I'm suffering! The darkness inside is slowly suffocating me This overwhelming horror is playing with my mind I'm staring in the mirror and I scream Take me away! Take me away! I'm burning, slowly dying Where is the end I'm looking for?
