Banished By Sin

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Fell asleep like the time has come
In favela walls where fights are won
The air tastes like copper and rain
Somebody's son won't wake again

Walk by safe if you can't blink twice
Hell burns harder when you roll the dice
The dogs know which doors to avoid
God's just another word for paranoid

It might strike seven, don't get up hopes
Life hangs on by the neck on the ropes
The electric hum, the generator's wheeze
Make sure you're still in one piece

I scream another time
Just to scare the birds away
They pick my flesh
Leave me no time for rest
From São Paulo to Paris streets
Waiting for the last dance
The final breath
The final breath

Tuesday bleeds into Thursday now
Lost the days, don't ask me how
Sister's boyfriend disappeared last week
His mother doesn't sleep, doesn't speak
Just stares at his empty seat

The television prophesies in static
Grandmother's prayers get more frantic
She lights candles for the already dead
Whispers names I've never heard said

I scream another time
Just to scare the birds away
They pick my flesh
Leave me no time for rest
From São Paulo to Paris streets
Waiting for the last dance
The final breath
The final breath

God better change my life
'Cause death is coming
And I ain't waiting for the trigger
God better change my life
Death is coming
I ain't waiting

Mathematics of survival
Six bullets, seven brothers
One ambulance, three neighborhoods
Do the math
Do the math

Every sunrise is a coin flip
Every sunset is a maybe
The calendar's a sick joke here
Yesterday might be your last day

I scream one more time
Scare the birds, scare the saints
They're all the same
They all want their taste
São Paulo to Paris streets
Betting on my defeat
The final breath

But not yet, not yet
Not yet, not yet
NOT YET
NOT YET

Fell asleep like the time has come
But I woke up
I woke up
I woke up
Still here
Still breathing

Heaven Shall Burn - The Fire

Crawling from out of the Dark

In moonlight, as stars were aligned

Inhaling the air as I harmonize with the trees

Wondering what’s surrounding me

Captivated within an Enochian dream

There is so much more than what appears to be...



Risen from the ashes

I, from the fire, worship in reverence to cleansing winds

Scatter flame across this realm

Release this misery

O, Enlil

It is I, bringer of revolution who harks to thee

Split the Skies so light may shine over this world of vivid color and beauty

Split the Skies tonight



Necessary sacrifice prioritized

My blood as an offering

I give you this life

Bent by self hate

Sulking in grief

Desperate for relief

Its unrelenting

This is my calling aligned in the stars

Unparalleled by what currently resides

Carrying the torch as I walk through this valley of time

A mission of retribution

Complex yet delicate proposition

The hour has drawn to break these shackles paralyzing me



Reborn through my suffering

This body is made from the Earth

The spirit becomes eternal as we burn away weakness



Hark my words as I speak of our curse, striving to break from this shame

A master’s wings pulse from my very feet to my crown

Lifting my selfishness and releasing my hate

I shall never bow my knee



Hark my words as I speak of our curse

Striving to break from this shame

Lifting my selfishness and releasing my hate



Awakened through challenge

I now behold my task

Released from the impurities holding me in its hands

Awakened through opposition

Guide my rage

To cleanse this world of its ignorance

Reborn through pain
