Armageddon Blues

PROGRESSION has ceased! We've doomed ourselves Armageddon blues cause I can't fool myself and though we'd like to pretend that we have the choice To shape the world without paying the price Petty obsessions are the least of our transgressions We've raped the land for power and possession Two thousand years and all we'll have Is a planetary toxic deathbed We're not blind, we just lost the vision as the sun remains unrisen Sewn seeds can never come to fruition and so the soul remains undriven THE SOUL REMAINS UNDRIVEN! You cannot stop the hands of time You can't break its wrists because we ignored the signs In the final hour i'll do what i can Despite the futile attempts to stop a violent end After all, in all that we've done Do you really think we deserve forgiveness? NO! Light for humanity is looking dim If there's a god ,we've surely displaced him Existence unfiltered We took the gift of life only to burn it in return Haunting reality, apocalyptic end is guaranteed! Chemical dawn, come on and bring it on! Find solace in the warmth of nuclear fog... and let your armageddon blues turn to bliss!

My pulse is pounding I'm weighed down by doubt's persistence I'm wondering if i'm headed anywhere I've got no sense of direction, but that's my burden to bare I've spent my whole life chasing images out on the horizon But the image I chase is the one that always seems to fade BUT YOU WON'T SEE ME CRUMBLING UNDER UNDER THE WEIGHT OF WHAT I CAN'T ESCAPE! Now I feel my finger around the trigger I'm out of touch with the common man I'm pounding pavement, yeah i'm on a mission! To put the world in the palm of my hand What's the sense in purpose, if I loathe all i see? Put my hands up, blot them out Peace is distance from my surroundings BUT YOU WON'T SEE ME RUNNING BACKWARDS OR BEGGING FOR A CLEAN SLATE! If you spoke to me, i'd whisper words so heavy They'd crush your dreams Just as quick as they had come to be Because after you've done all that you can You'll be god damned and just stand... IN THE LAKE OF FIRE! IN THE LAKE OF FIRE!

Born of the most evil breed Before Cain, the original bad seed I am remorseless, usurper of the righteous! What is it about man that draws him to the flame? They see the gates of hell, but can't help but cross the plane Into the realm where the demons are made Once left alone now i'm free to roam The orchestrator of a wicked song Buried it deep inside War drums in the back of their minds Driving their influence, to give in to the violence How could they defeat what only feels like instinct? Bow to my feet and turn your back on man! Evolve from him INTO THE BEAST The king of deceit I am the focus in your hate I am the rhythm to your rage In this symphony of life there's only death and baphomet leads the band Now I guide the reaper's hand Upon earth we shall descend Virtue is dead, your soul wastes away I am complete Your choice is made One with destroyer, a ruler enslaved and in the symphony of life there's only death and baphomet leads the band THERE IS ONLY DEATH! MARCH TO THE EVIL BEAT MARCH TO THE EVIL BEAT MARCH TO THE EVIL BEAT MARCH TO THE EVIL BEAT HOLY LIGHT WON'T SAVE ME MARCH TO THE EVIL BEAT DEATH OF THE LAMB REIGN OF THE BEAST!

How can I expect to read between the lines When the story is changing all the time? Pages torn from every book If you want the truth you've got to know where to look This taste on my tongue is as bitter as the sun Shining through in these darkest of time Depression's rot is burning through my mind I've got to get a grip, but can a man reverse the tide? What can I do? Where can I go? I'm fighting off the demons, is this all i'll know? What can I do? Where can I go? I've got to face my demons, got to regain control My mind is racing and it doesn't stop because my twisted mind has got me watching the clock and as the hands go tick and tock The burning in my brain just won't stop As realities blur i become paralyzed by visions of my own demise but if I hold no trust in fate Then all I have to lose are these restraints
