Words Shallow excuses For those pleasures of ours Born Of hate and abuses Dreams Lost in my network of scars Cut me loose of the strings Placed in the hands of the ignorant fools 'Cause starting today I'm gonna have my own way And do what I choose So cut me loose Voice Of a personal demon Drowned in the echoes of hounds Noise Of my private redeemer Scream Ripping the ocean of sounds Cut me loose of the strings Placed in the hands of the ignorant fools 'Cause starting today I'm gonna have my own way And do what I choose So cut me loose Now The darkest hour's getting Close But never mind your fear Now It's time to clench the fist For those Who've finally made it here

Once in a while I dream I'm alive In a world of my own But as I get back The sky becomes black My heart becomes stone Watch all your schemes and plans Misplaced Destroyed by helping hands Erased And all the hopes you had As good as dead Life is idle Death is final But can't you see There's something in between A dream within a dream Once I'm awake I'm surrounded by fake Colorless smiles Writhing in pain Inside the domain Of spiders and flies Deliberately caged Enclosed Too weak to be enraged Disposed And all the hopes you had As good as dead Life is idle Death is final But can't you see There's something in between A dream within a dream Tonight Abyss calls out to abyss That's the voice you can't ignore The light Invites you into the dream No mortal ever dreamt before

When the sky turns bleak When the air's too thick Don't be surprised that you've got Nothing left in your hands But sand and mud As the sun goes dim Just like it was foreseen Don't be surprised when you see Nothing left to hold dear There's no justice in here No justice in here And no saints or sinners I'm above the weakness Of judging you Learn to condemn when you've learned to forgive Learn how to die when you've learned how to live Oh, it's been too long Since I knew right from wrong Since I had the need To blame you mortals For your wrath and greed Look, here comes your messiah One to take you up higher One to drag you to hell Torments or bliss It's your decision as well No justice in here And no saints or sinners I'm above the weakness Of judging you Learn to condemn when you've learned to forgive Learn how to die when you've learned how to live No justice Why can't you see? There is no justice here There is just me

World is a will to power And nothing else The unholy war for cheap pretense I hide my face From this disgrace The price of fame Is mine to taste So as we look upon the sky We fail to see That heaven is a lie You can't reap what you sow On this treacherous soil As you struggle for breath In the serpent's coil Every single day Oceans wash away People with no need To indulge their greed Every fortune spent In this tortured land Keeps you wanting more Stronger than before The unholy war We climb in vain Up the food chain But fail to see that heaven Is not to blame Every single day Oceans wash away People with no use For a dead man's shoes Every fortune spent In this tortured land Keeps you wanting more Stronger than before The unholy war

My heart is broke, my will is gone Fell in love with a woman named Babylon She hook me to the gills All of her forbidden thrills I call her baby for short, then I ramble on She'll forget about me My soul is high, my mind is free Met a shorty with some back, call her Destiny She showed me all my fates My stream of conscious navigates I orbit 'round the sun at high velocity Don't forget 'bout me Don't forget about Sweet thing, won't you save my soul? Pretty lady, won't you take me home? Sweet thing, won't you save my soul? Pretty lady, won't you take me home? Tonight My arms are heavy, my body's tense Got the hot's for this honey named Confidence She points out all of my flaws Breaking all of her favorite laws Never speaks a word in my defense Just forget about me My spirit's weak, my lust will thrive Got a thing for this bitch, said her name is a Lie She controls me with her fear My prayers fall on her cold deaf ear She says, "Have a good time and take your dive" Just forget about me Just forget about Sweet thing, won't you save my soul, yeah? Pretty lady, won't you take me home? Sweet thing won't you save my soul, yeah? Pretty lady won't you take me home? Tonight I've got a Babylon feelin' I've got a Babylon feelin' I've got a Babylon feelin' I'm feelin' Babylon My heart is broke, my will is gone Fell in love with a woman named Babylon She hook me to the gills All of her forbidden thrills I call her baby for short, then I ramble on And I ramble on I've got a Babylon feelin' I've got a Babylon feelin' I've got a Babylon feelin' Feeln', Feeln' yeah I've got a Babylon feelin' Feeln', Feeln' yeah I've got a Babylon feelin' Feeln', Feeln' yeah I've got a Babylon feelin' Feeln', Feeln' yeah

Down we fall To be cleansed of all Sins and virtues And on we fight Dying to invite The gentle vultures Through the idols of lust They try to gain our trust With the treasures of another world No man is a prophet here Why can't you see? The ones who will light our day Are here to stay What gifts do we bring? Moral bliss and doublethink Those things you can't live without So join our cargo cult

My hell is crowded With angels of regret My heaven's overburdened With a swarm of living dead It's funny how This animal Became the ultimate predator When it only feeds upon its own flesh The seed has grown The birth machine goes on and on! Immune to pestilence And spared by war The one who got the party started Did you ever think That it would end this way? That your gift would be abused By those made of clay Worn out By hate This world keeps turning faster Let's get it straight We're heading for disaster All empty words they speak Drown in noise But only for so long The birth machine goes on! In the age of sin We are slaves to this machine But now the only thing we are told Enjoy your perfect life in a perfect world Worn out By hate This world keeps turning faster Let's get it straight We're heading for disaster All empty words they speak Drown in noise But only for so long The birth machine goes on and on! It's funny how This animal Became the ultimate predator It's funny how This animal Became the ultimate predator

Every moment of day Every waking hour People sin and betray So let them feed on each other But you're Trying to mend Imperfections of men Hey, what you see is what you get In this godforsaken land My will is done And regrets I have none I've filled my life With hatred for the black lit sky You see, love is not enough For people kill the things they love And I won't miss Those who try to get me fixed It's hardly smart 'Cause I was broken from the start I'm broken from the start Broken from the start I am trapped in these walls And it's safer within Walls built from the stones Thrown at me by those without sin By those Trying to mend Imperfections of men Hey, what you see is what you get In this godforsaken land My will is done And regrets I have none I've filled my life With hatred for the black lit sky You see, love is not enough For people kill the things they love And I won't miss Those who try to get me fixed It's hardly smart 'Cause I was broken from the start

I dare you to look Straight through my eyes Visions you'll see Of fear and denial Shrines of forbidden emotions and desires People who grew Afraid of the light Lions led by sheep Afraid of the fight Waiting for night But tomorrow never comes Welcome to the show Enjoy the front seat Pleasure's for granted But it's pain that you need Wait! Don't you leave! We have only just begun To have some fun Lost at the theater of pain Wasting your lives In the web of lies Keeping your feelings restrained I dare you to crawl The dark of my soul Shadows of my thoughts Condemned to these walls Empty illusions To feed the nameless ones Welcome to the show Enjoy the front seat Pleasure's for granted But it's pain that you need Wait! Don't you leave! We have only just begun To have some fun Lost at the theater of pain Wasting your lives In the web of lies Keeping your feelings restrained The nameless ones Enjoy the front seat Pleasure's for granted But it's pain that you need Lost at the theater of pain Wasting your lives In the web of lies Keeping your feelings restrained Wasting your lives In the web of lies Keeping your feelings restrained

Through the static I hear them call my name This frequency of malice Keeps me from remorse and shame Will they grant forgiveness? Will they teach me wrong from right? Lost in the headlines This inconvenient genocide Let go of reason No turning back The machete season Those words poisoned me And revealed the enemy Destroy to create In the name of hate In these trenches Horror has a face Traitors and invaders They need to be erased In their final hour When all is said and done Will this land belong to man Or to the beast that I've become?

Fed with noise of the street Stands the temple of concrete Our salvation is for sale Meet the one who doesn't fail You'll never be the same Built on greed, born from blood Last resort to Neon God Witness to his solemn reign Watch in awe as he reaps again I breathe this poison Just to feel alive I want to see Through your smoke and mirrors I disappear In the echoes of your nights You'll never be the same Now I wear the dead man's face Forced upon me by this place Thousands watching through my eyes Shadow's silent acolytes Thanks to david_mbs, 3xnihilo for sending these lyrics.
