Shadows in the Light

Rise and take shape through fear Twisting the sword of hate Bringing the bloodshed it so desires While leading us into the dark A cancer, a scourge, a plague Using the world as its host Unnoticed, it grows and festers Its malevolence will go unchallenged Casting night on God's domain Haunting presence that shadows life Exhaling death without grace Burning chaos on the promise land Raging through the good of man Tearing our souls at every end Vengeful, furious, unstoppable force Determined to makes its stand

Warm your souls, burn your hearts Speak the word, speak the lies Repeat the prayers, repent the sins Can you believe, can you kill The clash of saviors and the clash of men In a time of worry and a time of war Arm the masses and disarm the truth As the pious bask in a holy fervor Find their way, lose themselves Find your faith, lose your mind Give your trust, take your chance Heaven promised, death achieved Tyrannical rule in the name of god Thirsty for territory and thirsty for blood Creating the myth while creating the mayhem As the world endures another era in suffering Passion lives Passion grows Passion hates Passion Kills God will embrace you God will raise you God will comfort you God will save you God will punish you God will torture you God will silence you God will destroy you Passion lives Passion grows Passion hates Passion Kills

War on our hands, war on our minds Beat on the drums, beaten our hopes Nothing is left, nothing is gained Angry at one, angry at all World in agony, world in pain World in anger, world of shame The error of man, the error of faith Shaping tomorrow, destroying today Nothing ahead, nothing to be Anger is one, anger is all World in agony, world in pain World in anger, word insane Cursing ourselves, causing our death Abusing the earth, it's coming apart Can we undo, what we have done Before we undo, what we become The earth is bitter The earth is black What have we done There's no going back

Spoil the soul, spoil the flesh Inhaling sin to survive Leaving grace behind Feel the dirt under your skin Feel the filth work its way in Long gone is the purity Lust and indulgence thrive Your heart's now black and dark Feel the dirt under your skin Feel the filth work its way in Feel the steel piercing your flesh Feel the surge taking your breath Feel the blood pump in your veins Feel the rush that drives you insane Fouled by your selfish ways, fouled by your arrogant bliss Fouled by the mistakes you've made, fouled by the poison you take Banished by the ones you loved, banished by the ones you trust Banished from your house of faith, banished by the God you praised You are the guilty You are the shamed You took the good Threw it away Destroyed your life And those you've betrayed You have been tarnished A life now tarnished Desperate now to cleanse your soul, desperate now to save your soul Fallen down you've lost control, fallen down you've failed them all Tortured by the envy that grows, tortured by the anger that flows Hurt is now all you will know, hurt is now your only absolute You are the guilty You are the shamed You took the good Threw it away Destroyed your life And those you've betrayed You have been tarnished Forever tarnished

Dragging me down, there's nothing left of this broken man Bearing this weight, it weakens me day by day Try to find change, but I'm looking through jaded eyes Leave me here, I know no other way to live Using the fear... to suffer the pain Driven by rage... in this manic mind A life of service... a life in ruin Shattered so slowly... ever so completely I've given so much... it's stolen my soul I'm nothing at all... it defines my being The pleasures of life... elude me still Cast me out... cast me down The hate inside me... overcomes the world It empowers me... it elevates me My devotion blinds me... the darkness finds me Heavy on me... weighing down on me This devotion drives me... my actions haunt me Crushing me... crushing down on me

It lets no light in It feeds on my pain I try to feel something Numbness is all that's left With every breath Another piece of me is gone As if life is leaving me Leaving nothing behind Try to hold on My spirit is gone Panic runs through me Fighting the suffering It spites me Entices me It leads me on Then crushes my dreams It leaves me hollow Pulling me deeper It has no compassion It wants full control Try to hold on My spirit is gone Fighting to overcome But every battle is lost Breathe in the dark It's all that's here Breathe in the loss, Awaken the fear In this dark place Tasting my tears Ripping my mind Now madness becomes me Take this sickness away It drains me, it aches me, It pulls all hope from me Like walls it surrounds me It towers above me Keeps drawing me in Showing no love, But loving my sin Breathe in the dark It's all that's here Breathe in the loss Awaken the fear In this dark place Tasting my tears What once was is gone Now misery becomes me

See what they've done Imagine what's to come Already inside They've come to take it all away Moving in shadows Masking their rage A violent breed Bringing the world to its knees Deep in our soil Spreading their seed They'll never give in Until we are all in our graves Hiding among us Harvesting death Turmoil ensues The world, runs frantic, with war Building their walls, to entrap us all Architects of ruin, imprisoning all Spreading the fear, to further their cause Messengers of light, crushing all Waiting in shadows, for the time to strike, Dormant empire, growing strong Inch by inch, mile by mile Silent legion, the world will fall Don't close your eyes Or all will be lost... forever

You thought, you knew me, I proved you wrong Never saw, it coming, now feel my scorn My grasp will tighten around the ones I seek Deceiver of many, I shall ensnare the weak So contemptuous, and so malign So righteous, and so divine Releasing my force, I hear the cries Devastate the angelic, watch the shadows rise Breathing wrath with tongues of fire Breaking the frail with ferocious desire Lashing out havoc with hands of iron Unveiling death with this poison soul The Devil's in me, we are one Guiding our hearts, leading us all Tempt the masses, my demons rage I am the chosen whose victims will fall Laying waste to all With my wicked fever The demons are in me We are one

Sweeping the land, like a desert storm Reaping the lands, like a violent storm It will call on us all, the fallen, the shrewd It will deliver us all, the holy, the cursed To never pass judgment It shows no sympathy To never be beaten It accepts no refusal One by one It will swallow our souls One by one It will own our souls Whispering death, you will find us all You inhale the damned and rip out their souls Taking the precious and taking the brave You gather the blessed and lay them to rest Whispering death, you devour us all Feast on the greedy and show them true lust Herding the mighty, the weak and the crazed Assassin of time, enforcer of fate The body, the essence, of all life now fades There is no escape, from the silence that waits
