Portrait of a Hanged Man

[Skinner] Drifting in a sea lost and alone Water's all that surrounds me The sun burning my skin I've been swimming for hours on end Looking out for land I don't know how much longer I can Until the ocean takes me Out of breath I try to scream Sinking... sinking I'm going down Scared to death Fighting so hard to breathe No one around Scared to death Beyond my wildest dreams I feel my body sink beneath I close my eyes and don't dare breathe The light grows dimmer as I see My life slip away from me Gasping for a last breath of air Calmness upon me I release my cares Thoughts of what will be And of the world I'll no longer see I slowly extend my hands An act much braver than I am Without a chance to think I open up and take a drink Sinking... sinking I'm going down Scared to death Fighting so hard to breathe No one around Scared to death Beyond my wildest dreams I feel my body sink beneath I close my eyes and don't dare breathe The light grows dimmer as I see My life slip away from me I'm going down Scared to death Fighting so hard to breathe No one around Scared to death Beyond my wildest dreams Scared to death Fighting so hard to breathe No, no not a sound Scared to death

[Skinner] Something wicked draws close today Death is coming to play Focused come what may The right price has led me to your door I'm here to settle a score It's nothing personal Here I come so silent Your fortune decided Body caressed in black Prepared to attack Here I come so silent Your fortune decided Body caressed in black Prepared to attack Hands behind your back on your knees I am immune to your pleas Pull the trigger with ease Forgiveness is not mine to give I do not pass judgment On the crimes you've commit Quiet, this is not personal Violent, God bless your slaughtered soul Silence, you're reaping all you sow The hit, clean and professional Here I come so silent Your fortune decided Body caressed in black Prepared to attack Here I come so silent Your fortune decided Body caressed in black Prepared to attack Quiet, this is not personal Violent, God bless your slaughtered soul Silence, you're reaping all you sow The hit, clean and professional Quiet, this is not personal Violent, God bless your slaughtered soul Silence, you're reaping all you sow The hit, clean and professional

In the dead of winter the wolves they cry my name It echoes through the night A bargain made in sorrow leads them here today A life for a life Hellfire, keep the wolves at bay My black past bleeding Hellfire, hear them cry my name They’re creeping closer now Within a ring of fire I stand alone and pray Will I be heard this time? With no fight left inside me I raise my head in shame And gaze into twilight Hellfire, keep the wolves at bay My black past bleeding Hellfire, hear them cry my name They’re creeping closer With these last dying embers all hope fades away Through smoke I see red eyes My senses heightened in terror I brace myself in vain An end to a sinful life Hellfire, keep the wolves at bay My black past bleeding Hellfire, hear them cry my name Creeping closer now They’re creeping closer now

I watch your eyes Meet mine from the next room You’re acting shy I approach you Twice denied You’re playing some sort of game I bide my time… well I can play too You think you’ve seen the last of me It’s not over Feel your head get dizzy Your fingers start to numb As your vision fades to black Welcome to my perverted nightmare baby! GHB I feel so drunk with power Just be still my silent beauty GHB Let this last forever Tonight your mine As we head back to my room A night divine awaits you I take my time As we begin so gently Never mind if it gets rough too Now I do as I please No boundaries Feel your head get dizzy Your fingers start to numb As your vision fades to black Welcome to my perverted nightmare baby! GHB I feel so drunk with power Just be still my silent beauty GHB Let this last forever Feel your head get dizzy Your fingers start to numb As your vision fades to black Welcome to my perverted nightmare baby! GHB I feel so drunk with power Just be still my silent beauty GHB Let this last forever There’s no use fighting me my darling GHB You won’t even remember Just be still my silent beauty GHB Let it last forever

Frightening, my mind perplexed from what my eyes perceive A body perfectly posed in settings serene Haunting, eternal unrest, I’m caught in a chilling dream A sickening silhouette of dangling feet Silently dancing, necromancing, glimpsing at a portrait of a hanged man Gently gliding, hypnotizing, glimpsing at a portrait of a hanged man Moonlight, brings to life this ghost of days gone by I’m wanting to run but my bodies petrified Eyes wide, horrific image a man losing his life Arms bound with rope and another around his throat Tied tight He struggles but the grip grows tighter His fight With each breath the rope cuts deeper -S- Deceased, I can feel his gaze crying out to me Hard to believe or true reality? Silently dancing, necromancing, glimpsing at a portrait of a hanged man Gently gliding, hypnotizing, glimpsing at a portrait of a hanged man Portrait of a hanged man Tied tight tied portrait of a hanged man Tied tight tied portrait of a hanged man Tied tight tied portrait of a hanged man

Medicated for your sins Will you ever let me in? I see the pain you hide The temptations that you fight A desire to end it all Such a long way to fall Silently you pray for hope And who’s the one that led you here? Wallowing in your despair I am the evil that you fear The tension in the air I implore you Let me be your simple servant Surround yourself with broken walls Held together by your faults You only hide so well Inside your own hell And your wrists bear the scars From repeated broken hearts I’m the prayer you’ve waited for And who’s the one that led you here? Wallowing in your despair I am the evil that you fear The tension in the air I implore you Let me be your simple servant Breathe in deep and slowly A loss of clarity Deep inside I see your light is dying A holographic wasteland Emotional quicksand Deep inside I see your light is dying And who’s the one that led you here? Wallowing in your despair And there’s no ever after I am the evil that you fear The tension in the air I implore you Let me be your simple servant I’m am not the one that led you here But I’ll make it all seem clear I implore you Let me be your simple servant A holographic wasteland Emotional quicksand Deep inside I see your light is dying

Trying to relive some past glory Grasping onto a past long over Realize, I’m no longer part of your twisted world Living with the ghosts of what we were I’ve already made my escape And I’ll never make that same mistake One word wrapped in stipulation One word I feel One word wrapped in stipulation One word I feel No longer your one and only That’s a chapter long read and closed By the way I’ve moved on… let it go Another thing that I’ve discovered My future was born in our wake And here you are with just one thing to say One word wrapped in stipulation One word I feel One word wrapped in stipulation One word I feel Lurking in the shadows of another Like a vulture ready to plead your case Your sweet words leave only now a bad taste With tears in your eyes you’re asking Why won’t I let you in? We’ve done this before but never again One word wrapped in stipulation One word I feel One word wrapped in stipulation One word I feel

A deafening silence Awaken to stillness Time ceases to exist Welcome to the end Breathe, the dark engulfs the light My final hour I see his hand reach out for mine Ready for departure A thousand questions His skeletal hand beckons Not a word spoken Take me to heaven Breathe, the dark engulfs the light My final hour I see his hand reach out for mine Ready for departure Feel the winds of Hell begin to spin The crimson sky burns bright It’s Hell on earth in my final hour Only now see the scope of death’s plan Oh how can this be? We’re slipping sliding downward spiraling Breathe, the dark engulfs the light My final hour I see his hand reach out to mine Ready for departure Wings of black descend In a downward spin Death travels on swift winds Into the pit Breathe, the dark engulfs the light My final hour I see his hand reach out for mine Ready for departure Breathe, the dark engulfs the light My final hour I see his hand reach out for mine Ready for departure

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

The golden city’s in ruins The burning dead fill a jet black sky An empire in mourning A God king left to die He once was known as the most powerful Ordained from heavenly skies Said to transcend the impossible Beneath a stone that says here lies… One more lies below Crypt kingdom and a halo of flies One more lies below Crypt kingdom and a halo Now entombed forever Blanket of earth six feet high A legacy eternal The worms feast on royalty tonight He once was known as the most powerful Ordained from heavenly skies Said to transcend the impossible Beneath a stone that says here lies… One more lies below Crypt kingdom and a halo of flies One more lies below Crypt kingdom and a halo He once was known as the most powerful Ordained from heavenly skies Said to transcend the impossible Beneath a stone that says here lies… One more lies below Crypt kingdom and a halo of flies One more lies below Crypt kingdom and a halo

Lines carved into stone A regal voice speaks clear Power through fear Preach and obey thy code We hold a book on high Hypocritical lies We can fly without their wings I've never had time for imaginary things Fallen, bleeding, broken in the shadow of the cross Fallen, bleeding, a system now broken Kneel, sword or the cross Oppress those who deny Your belief is right Time manipulates and hides The truth we've slowly lost And at what cost We can fly without their wings I've never had time for imaginary things Fallen, bleeding, broken in the shadow of the cross Fallen, bleeding, a system now broken Streets of gold they're tarnished and bare Violated and desecrated Widespread warfare, savage nightmare Humanity endangered, biblical failure Rise and be reborn Embrace eternal life But at what price Crimes in the name of god So many millions died Self sacrifice Fallen, bleeding, broken in the shadow of the cross Fallen, bleeding, a system now broken Fallen, bleeding, broken in the shadow of the cross Fallen, bleeding, a system now broken Streets of gold they're tarnished and bare Violated and desecrated
