Girth
Intertwined like a twisted web Pulled apart by so-called friends A power trip when bulls collide Rude awakening I won’t align I won’t align I am my own of steel and stone But words still pierce my flesh and bone Brothers’ fight and one will fall While the winner takes and loses all Loses all Tempers rage and nostrils flare Words are slung that rip and tear I can’t take it anymore Honors fly and pride is hurt Embraced in anger darkness lurks Detonate plastic C-4 Feed your head with fucking poison Pickling your mind The aftermath filled with excuses Wasting all my time Arrogant self-righteous bastard Is the way you choose to be Keep your distance and your tongue And preach not unto me Trust is hard to gain When it’s apart of you that dies Swimming in a cesspool Spawned from vile lies Lies... Vile lies... Tempers rage and nostrils flare Words are slung that rip and tear I can’t take it anymore Honors fly and pride is hurt Embraced in anger darkness lurks Detonate plastic C-4

Sitting on the edge of mother’s bed I realize damn she’s dying Sometimes I wish that she was dead I’m sick of mother crying When they take her away will I still feel the same There’s a feeling of doubt inside me Will confusion remain, will I suffer the pain? Will I run through the light that blinds me? (Why me conceived by thee) (Kill procedure) (Why me conceived by thee) (Kill procedure) I lie awake at night The enemy I feel inside me Rotting beast destroying me I think it’s time for dying When they take me away will you still feel the same There’s a feeling of doubt inside you Will confusion remain, will you suffer the pain? Will you run through the light that blinds you? (Why me conceived by thee) (Kill procedure) (Why me conceived by thee) (Kill procedure) Like worn leather a tired old man Contemplates what’s at hand Like his friends before him then his wife He’s sick of living a lonely life When they take me away will you still feel the same There’s a feeling of doubt inside you Will confusion remain, will you suffer the pain? Will you run through the light that blinds you? (Why me conceived by thee) (Kill procedure) (Why me conceived by thee) (Kill procedure)

I felt sadness – one I couldn't overcome A wretched madness I think I've had enough All the tears have fallen from disappointed eyes I don't deserve this Oh (how I tried) Followed you through all these years Supported you in your career Went out of my way to defend you Left with nothing but a big F*&% you I'll take my chances with someone else But I want you to know just how it felt To be left all alone A true conformist (I should have known) Do you know what you've done to provoke me So lost in greed that you can't see I believed in what you said Preached your gospel and was misled Meaningless words that you lived by Our love you can't disguise Your new look your new life I see right through your lies I'm the last link on the long chain That whips the massive beast I'm the distant cry you hear at night From the pain that can't be eased The small voice that whispers Carried away by the wind The leper, the outcast, a mutant No one believes in.

Inner city streets to dirt road country farms An emergency state of alert a siren sounds the alarm A race war has erupted – conflict between friends Caught up in the raging battle, siding with media trends It’s a bitter truth And it stands for news It’s every man for himself a chaos of mass rioting Forced to defend from your own people to kill those pirating Division of the government, political homicide Pointing fingers at who’s to blame without really knowing why One man arose through the gray With a consciousness unlike today’s His wisdom from the dead As he spoke this is what he said... We call each other niggers, spics, Jewish assholes, cracker, whitey, honkey bastards, yellow slant-eyed motherfuckers Disregarding one-another, fighting among social status Hifalutent, bitchy, crab-ass, middle class, yuppies, punks, street-walking homeless drunks, non-English speaking, stinking arabs, homo, lezbo, bi, retardos, Catholic, Hindu, Christian, pagan... The list of names goes on and on Respect one another We bleed the same color One man arose through the gray With a consciousness unlike today’s His wisdom from the dead As he spoke this is what he said...

Two federal agents From the FBI Searching for the answers Buried beneath the crimes Investigation psychic activities Paranormal incidents and strange anomalies Bright lights from above Lost time nine minutes down Vanished without a trace Nowhere to be found Alien abductions Contact that's been made Like a cunning fox Running from the hounds that chase The truth is out there And remember something: Trust no one X-iled X-iled Driven by the guilt From the past that's unforgiving X-iled X-iled It's been so long ago That the memories are fading Obscured by their deceit Apology is policy Cigarette smoking man Government conspiracy X-iled X-iled Driven by the truth And outcast by obsession X-iled X-iled One who seeks to find While the other one denies X-iled X-iled Secret coded messages Uncovered between the lines

With a seductive smile and a hypnotic gaze I broke the silence and asked her name She whispered in my ear That there is only fear Without hope or love for each other I didn't need any hope I wasn't looking for love I just needed a fix someone I could touch I wasn't taking a chance on any type of romance I just needed something I bought the hotel room I knew that she was doomed Like all the ones before another countless face Caressing her pale skin As smooth as porcelain She undressed to reveal black lace Pulling her close I felt her flesh My not breath kissed her icy neck Shot a chill down her spine I knew the time was right I will follow my intuition Hold on tight and won't let go With every breath I feel the tension I just don't let it show Each thrust, in time I think I've crossed that line I'm ready I'm ready I'm gonna blow To my surprise she knew the game A selfish act, just wanted laid Quietly she moaned John it's your turn I thought what could it hurt I wasn't fully aware of her sadistic intent 'Till she pulled out a whip then I knew what she meant She tied me down and lit candles of red And unleashed her fury Each violent strike opened a wound In ancient tongues she was consumed On the wall a pentagram While she took the seed of man Alexandria you're a demon whore A succubus a black hole A deep void filled with passion A wicked bitch a love assassin An evil twist I can't resist the mistress of the damned The stakes are high now I am damned The stakes are high now I am doomed My soul's at hand Alexandria

Four friends and a bottle of scotch A game of quarters shoot’n down shots Add a few beers and a bottle of wine Stoned off my ass with tears in my eyes 3 a.m., it was time to go home Just one last drink tequila for the road A pot of coffee caffeine for the ride My bloodshot eyes gave no sign of life Feeling no pain Staring at space with beer goggles on I tried to play it off like nothing was wrong I staggered on the left and fell to one knee Then somebody grabbed a hold of my keys An angelic voice I heard from above Man he’s a trash, he’s really fucked up Half crocked my head began to pound Whirling in a circle spinning round and round Boom, I hit the floor Passed out next to the door My stomach started to churn My throat began to burn Everything started to spin I knew I was going in Crawling on all fours I couldn’t take it anymore Climb upon the altar and make your sacrifice Spewing chunks of bile hanging on for dear life Confess to all your sinning promise and even swear Choking from the dry heaves gasping for precious air Boom, I hit the floor Passed out next to the door My stomach started to churn My throat began to burn Everything started to spin I knew I was going in Crawling on all fours I couldn’t take it anymore Climb upon the altar and make your sacrifice Spewing chunks of bile hanging on for dear life Confess to all your sinning promise and even swear Choking from the dry heaves gasping for precious air

For every day I live I get closer to my end My youth stolen from the hands of time What I took for granted has haunted like a phantom Now a ghost that hides in the recess of my mind The more I search for my prey Slips through my grasp elusively Withered and decaying alive but ever changing As the years pull the flesh from my bones The more I understand the enemy of man I curse that wretched beast I loathe The more I search for my prey Slips through my grasp elusively Hunting time My youth has passed away Hunting time I didn’t want to change How could I lose the one thing that I dreamed? To become a man and kill the child I once believed To think that I am dying slowly day by day To feel its warm embrace like moths to a flame The more I search for my prey Slips through my grasp elusively Hunting time My youth has passed away Hunting time I didn’t want to change Hunting time Don’t let it slip away Hunting time Nothing stays the same

64 terabytes of living memory Integrated with genetic code The entire race isn't free Linked up to the internet A network holocaust Now life is spent in cyberspace The human soul is lost Giga bauds of information Transfer at light speed Security retina scanned Fiber optics is the way Nana bots that alter life That attack like germ warfare Through the gates of big brother The micro god is here I won't take the implant A barcode's not my name Worldwide revolution Through an ISDN I run the streets like a dog An outcast without hope Carrying the virus Destroyer of the code I will download, download

In the darkness you can't hide In the distance you can't run I see inside your mind I'm the darkest before the dawn Vengeance is not the plan Although I might bring you pain One thing is for sure And soon death you will endure Deceive everyone at every chance Excess greed it's your Arrogance Time erodes the end draws near Hate explodes into your every fear In the garden there was a conspiracy That brought wrath for all eternity For the promises that weren't kept All of the spells your D.E.A.T.H. Cloaked in black my eyes ablaze I've come to steal your breath away Like blowing out a candle All of this spells your death Emotionless I reap the field Etched in stone your fate is sealed I'm the guide between the realms of life and death The choices you've made with the life you've had Eden proved right the faults of man My judgment not on how you lived

Five minutes and counting I’ve just began to thirst Anxiety crashing through me Adrenaline burst I hear the sounds of thunder A deafening mad roar Apocalyptic chaos I hear the sounds of war I grab my ax Six string attack Hurried into the frenzy Commanding tactfully Bashing heads around me A violent ecstasy A means to crush the torment To lash out of control Banging skulls, swinging fists Fighting to overthrow I grab my ax Six string attack A cry goes out – for freedom A man steps in – a hero He takes the pain away, fulfilling lives today A savior from the alternative Dark – paradise Dark – paradise Dark – paradise Dark – paradise I hear the sounds of thunder A deafening mad roar Apocalyptic chaos I hear the sounds of war I grab my ax Six string attack A cry goes out – for freedom A man steps in – a hero He takes the pain away, fulfilling lives today A savior from the alternative Dark – paradise Dark – paradise Dark – paradise Dark – paradise
