Defiling The Monolith

Alone in the dark
Your mind wanders
The story revealed
Not what you were told 

When the night falls look to the light
When the day breaks pray for the night
The peace you seek will never be found
Distrusting eyes just stare you down

You gaze at the light
Disbelieving eyes
Trust is now gone
Never to return

When the night falls look to the light
When the day breaks pray for the night
The peace you seek will never be found
Distrusting eyes...

All that is known is revealed
That which is seen can't be unseen
In darkest of night you are anguished
You are haunted

Gone in a moment
All that you knew
The lens by which you see
Forever altered

When the night falls look to the light
When the day breaks pray for the night
The peace you seek will never be found
Distrusting eyes just stare you down

When the light comes bask in the glow
When your eyes see now you will know
The peace you seek can never be found
Distrusting eyes...

All that is known is revealed
That which is seen can't be unseen
In darkest of night you are anguished
You are haunted

Haunted

I remember the winds blowing through your hair
Your smile calmed my heart
Your touch kept me warm
And now the days are long
I'm missing you here
I see you in my dreams
Never wanted to lose you
(Don't go!) 
You never said goodbye
The ends were never tied
Never knew that final kiss
My heart left out to dry
(Don't go!)
And now I'm all alone
I am empty inside
As I watched you drift away
Never said goodbye

The sun comes up again but you are gone
Another day passes by
I miss you so dear
No one can heal my pain
I push them all away
If only you were here 
If only you could stay

(Don't go!) 
You never said goodbye
The ends were never tied
Never knew that final kiss
My heart left out to dry
(Don't go!)
And now I'm all alone
I am empty inside
As I watched you drift away
Never said goodbye

Never Said Goodbye

Lay your hands unto me
Bring me salvation I need
The lines in my face grow tired
Into the darkness I hide

Lay your hands unto me
Pull me from obscurity
The journey so far was a blur
This is my last day on Earth

Last Day On Earth

Within the shadows where the brave dare not roam
Stands a figure, steadfast and alone
With a heart forged in sorrow and a will made of stone
He's an army of one and his darkness has grown
His fists of fury are pounding in rage
Just like an animal freed from his cage
His teeth are bared, he's hungry for blood
The time is nearing for his vengeance to come

He is an army, an army of one
He'll keep on fighting 'til the battle is done
Witness the power he's put on display
Don't try to challenge him or get in his way

Hear the echoes of a lost point in time
Justice prevailed mostly unburdened by crime
With every story of encounters gone wrong  
A storm is coming where the fearless stand strong
He stands alone but he's never apart
His dreams of freedom are felt in his heart
With a thunderous roar his enemies flee
Scared of the truth that sets them all free

He is an army, an army of one
He'll keep on fighting 'til the battle is done
Witness the power he's put on display
Don't try to challenge him or get in his way

His fury's coming with the force of the sun
He's gonna burn until his vengeance is done
Feeling the power he's put on display
Don't try to challenge him or get in his way

Don't get in his way
Don't get in his way
His vengeance is done
He is an army of one

An Army Of One

On this night a decision took hold
The outcome strayed from the path foreseen
Fanning the flames of dissent
Fueled by the rampant malfeasance
Contained fury, once silent and meek
In a moment ignites at last
The hour's come to settle the score
For the predators' blind ambition

Mesmerized by the phantom choice
Freedom falls from your grasp
The horror to see it all fall apart

No remorse for the deeds they've done
Veiled in shadows where justice is blind
Quell the uprising spare no expense
Dispatch deniers who speak the truth
Propaganda reaches out
To half the people that still believe
Democracy at any cost
A notion held but now denied

Mesmerized by the phantom choice
Freedom falls from your grasp
The horror to see it all fail

Everything will burn!
Flames cast shadows across the sky
Smoke hides the treason
Everything will burn!
Rage ignites the dry tinder soaked 
In the gasoline of corruption

Everything Will Burn!

This land defiled
The earth is dead
Salted like your wounds
The stalks still burning
Charred husks of grain
No fields left unscarred
The pangs of hunger within your womb
The fields of plenty become your tomb
A plague of locusts
An evil lord
The price of mankind
The sun now setting
Winter will come
The granary is gone
The pangs of hunger within your womb
The fields of plenty become your tomb
The pain inside 
Now you’re about to die
This is your final day
Now you wither away
The pangs of hunger within your womb
The fields of plenty become your tomb
Sifting through dirt
Grasping for sustenance
Grubs, bugs and sand
Grinding between your teeth
Your mouth is dry
Gasping for something wet
Nothing to wash it down
You choke on your final meal
You choke on your final meal

Wither

Steel-toed reality coming down the line
March in perfect order, kiss the polished shine

SOLE − STOMP − FOREVER!
The impact blooms
SOLE − STOMP − FOREVER!
Behind the eyes
SOLE − STOMP − FOREVER!
Everything goes black
SOLE − STOMP − FOREVER!
You’re dead inside

Size fourteen hate
Vision dissipates
Orbital collapse
Feel your skull crack

Swore you’d never kneel, screamed at every show
Now you’re tongue-bathing leather while the world spins below

SOLE − STOMP − FOREVER!
The impact blooms
SOLE − STOMP − FOREVER!
Behind the eyes
SOLE − STOMP − FOREVER!
Everything goes black
SOLE − STOMP − FOREVER!
You’re dead inside

Boot to the temple, world flips upside down
Teeth scatter like picks you’re lying on the ground
Crowd chants “obey,” you call it unity
A kick from the state splits your reality
Wake up tasting iron, grinning through the swell
Purple constellation where your facial features fell
The boot you used to spit on is the only god in town
Your new face tattoo, compliments of the crown

SOLE − STOMP − FOREVER!
The impact blooms
SOLE − STOMP − FOREVER!
Behind the eyes
SOLE − STOMP − FOREVER!
Everything goes black
SOLE − STOMP − FOREVER!
You’re dead inside
