Album • 2011
Rise of the one - The dark iconoclast Forging a cult of fear, With legions unsurpassed Shouting the word - With vicious tongues of fire Born of illusion and deceit Fiendish soul of a liar. The chaos unseen rips The midnight sky Infernal machines arise Flesh and steel collide We are strong We will stand and fight We are strong We will stand and fight With rage we ride into the flames Striking with spears of hate, At the heart where evil reigns Holding the line from the charge Of armored steeds Gather around this deadly ground, Come watch the war god bleed. The chaos unseen rips The midnight sky Infernal machines arise Flesh and steel collide We are strong We will stand and fight We are strong We will stand and fight Victory of death, only time will tell Synthetic resurrection, From the heart of hell Slowly they fall, as we watch The daylight die We spit and curse this hallowed earth With our final battle cry, The chaos unseen rips The midnight sky Infernal machines arise - Flesh and steel collide We are strong We will stand and fight We are strong We will stand and fight

Captivate Enchant my brain And let the poison flow Torn apart You're ripping out my heart It's painless, let it go Come on, hit the switch You son of a bitch I'm devoured, broke in two You take control And resurrect my soul Becoming something new What's done is done I'm dead inside I'm what you've all become Mindless and mesmerized Dehumanized I'm dehumanized Don't you realize I'm dehumanized And victimized You can't break me You unmade me Dehumanized Ripped to shreds The venom spreads Release the system plague Shed your skin Electrified within Complete the final stage I will break my shell And unleash hell There's nothing you can do Just a cut above This sacred new blood Becoming something new What's done is done I'm dead inside I'm what you've all become Mindless and mesmerized Dehumanized I'm dehumanized Don't you realize I'm dehumanized And victimized You can't break me You unmade me Dehumanized Is this life worth a question whine Or is this life just a lie Cause my eyes Are cold and numb And I don't know What the hell I've become I'm dehumanized Don't you realize We're all dehumanized It's lies and vicitimized You can't break us No, you can't unmake us We have all become Dehumanized

You can be all you desire An honest man - a vicious liar Seek out the Light or seek the Dark You can honor or desecrate Sympathize or manipulate Carved in your flesh - embrace the Mark Enslaved and hypnotized - Chained to artificial lives You are the Bastards of the Machine The Bastards of the Machine Be a saint for those in need Or spin them webs of lust and greed, Yeah, you've restored my dying faith With a kiss of death - a last farewell Hand in hand, through the Gates of Hell You'll pay the price for the choice you make I see your demons rise - Deep within your burning eyes You are the Bastards of the Machine The Bastards of the Machine The Bastards of the Machine The Bastards of the Machine

The human infection Soaring on winds of woe and pestilence Remove imperfection - Parasites with lives of little consequence, Even though we know the sky is falling Still we choose not to believe, On your knees... Heretic - devil in disguise Never quit - tearing down the walls, brick by brick Feeding on the lies - Heretic Counterfeit's the kingdom you devise The flesh breeds corruption - Irradicate the insect prey, exterminate Crawl with the Leeches - you cry Shattered to pieces - you die Here I stand - god of man - the Perfect Beast Even though we know the sky is falling Still we choose not to believe On your knees... Heretic - devil in disguise Never quit - tearing down the walls, brick by brick Feeding on the lies - Heretic Counterfeit's the kingdom you devise Oh, burn! Watch me burn - Live and learn As the night surrounds me No escape, no where to hide Feel the sting of severing Become one with Darkness No escape, I'm dead inside Heretic - devil in disguise Never quit - tearing down the walls Brick by brick Feeding on the lies - Heretic Counterfeit's the kingdom you devise

Screaming at the walls around me - Broken and alone Fighting with my inner demons is all I've ever known All I am - I give to you All my dreams and nightmares, too Disconnected life of anguish - The mirror fades to black Feels like I'm sinking deep into illusion. No one's staring back Somewhere unseen - there's something between Is it the truth or a lie... Can't you see - You and me We're Children of a Faceless God Misery is our destiny We're Children of a Faceless God Just another faceless shadow - I'm desensitized And I don't feel the pain, am I insane? My nightmare's realized Somewhere unseen - there's something between Is it the truth or a lie... Can't you see - You and me We're Children of a Faceless God Misery is our destiny We're Children of a Faceless God All I have - I give to you All my dreams, my nightmares, too Wretched promenade - watch the freak parade Celebrate the suffering and affliction Laugh at tragedy - worship sin with me Let us share in selfish addiction Spitting on the shrine - drink the poison wine Leave a life in ruins - tattered and torn Completely interfaced to a God without a Face In his image of darkness... I'm reborn Can't you see - You and me We're Children of a Faceless God Misery is our destiny We're Children of a Faceless God

You liberate me, separate and set me free You release my spirit to the wind For evermore your name will soar inside of me Let the reign of steel begin Oh, how the prophets of the people were so blind As one by one, all the kingdoms fall in line Hail the Night - the Bringer of Light My Electric Messiah Come and be transformed - unmade and reborn Set your soul on fire All will believe, you won't deceive in any way Endless empty minds at you command I'll never fail, I'll drive the nail in all the way Right into you heart with dying hands Oh, how the prophets of the people were so blind As one by one, all the kingdoms fall in line Oh, so blind... Hail the Night - the Bringer of Light My Electric Messiah Come and be transformed - unmade and reborn Set your soul on fire Hail the Night - the Bringer of Light My Electric Messiah Come and be transformed - unmade and reborn Set your soul, your souls on fire Hail the Night Oh, oh Hail the Bringer of Light I am reborn, I am transformed

I believe... Nothing ever comes to light - Chasing shadows in the night In a starless sky and I wonder why I believe... We will never find a way - That darkness lights the day We never question why, still I wonder why? I close my eyes lost in a memory Just like a candle in the wind What could have been, with just one kiss goodbye You spread your wings to fly Far away, somehow, someday you will understand I hope you'll understand... someday Silent pictures speak like ghosts in the machine Haunting my reflection in the frame Chasing down the hopeful child inside of me Where'd it all go wrong and who's to blame We pass the time away With empty lives, the laughter dies Is this all we have to show? Is this all they'll ever know? Can they find their way? What went wrong? Where have all the heroes gone? Trading futures for a song we gave away Thinking only of myself, I forged ahead No regrets, no apologies Bitter tears reward the life that I have led A world of lies brings me to my knees I took the road with every twist and every turn The words of wisdom is the lesson never learned Lose your fear and free your soul or The mysteries of life you'll truly never know You'll never know Is this all we have to show? Is this all they'll ever know? Can they find their way? What went wrong? Where have all the heroes gone? Trading futures for a song we gave away Just gave it away... I close my eyes, lost in that memory Like a candle in the wind What could have been, with just one kiss goodbye You spread your wings to fly far away I hope you'll understand one day We pass the time away With empty lives the laughter dies And the colors fade -- fade away Is this all we have to show? Is this all they'll ever know? Can they find their way? What went wrong? Where have all the heroes gone? Trading futures for a song we gave away What went wrong? Where have all our heroes gone? Trade our future for a song, We gave it all away...
