Fallacies that shift between opposing points of view
No one knows the way that things should be except for you
Decency remains behind the curtain of the booth
Honesty is savagery for those who fear the truth

Trying not to waste my time
But I fear that time is wasting me
If my opposition happens to outwit me
What is this conspiracy?

People hate
Our gods will be pleased
People hate
We are the disease
People hate
Without caring why
People hate 
As sure as we die

People hate people

Sword of Damocles precariously hangs above
Innocence irrelevant when wrath fits like a glove
After all, what can we do? Our fellow man has failed
Advocate the civil war so no one may prevail

Trying not to waste my time
But I fear that time is wasting me
If my opposition happens to outwit me
What is this conspiracy?

People hate
Our gods will be pleased
People hate
We are the disease
People hate
Without caring why
People hate 
As sure as we die

People hate people

The Pastor's Casket

People Hate People

Pulling to pieces the flesh and the bone
To cease to exist is the only way home
On hostile ground at both ends of a gun
Jackals devouring the youngest of sons

So much more to gain
Hallowed are their names
A savior will rise
In this land, he dies

Never to see tomorrow

Through the fire where the king calls out for victory
His men never learn, with devotion they fight
In the glory of a distorted history
A legion of worms dine upon them tonight

Cloaked in the blood of the sworn enemy
Spit on the ground not to taste of defeat
Scavengers defecate heroes' remains
Begging for mercy, men cry but in vain

So much more to gain
Hallowed are their names
A hero will rise
In this land, he dies

Never to see tomorrow

Through the fire where the king calls out for victory
His men never learn, with devotion they fight
In the glory of a distorted history
A legion of worms dine upon them tonight

Fields that hemorrhage valiant warriors
Baptized in the tears of mothers
Flags for sons who find their calling
One by one, they will keep falling

Soldiers of truth, take an eye for an eye
Crawling through minefields, determined to die
Starving soil cries out for more and more blood
The leaders, their bellies full, they send the flood

With blood ravaged hands
The death of a man
He breathes his last words
Never to be heard

Never to know his sorrow

Through the fire where the king calls out for victory
His men never learn, with devotion they fight
In the glory of a distorted history
A legion of worms dine upon them tonight

Legion Of Worms

Lies leak from between your teeth
And I caught you loading the dice
You stormed in condemning the thief 
But deep in your pockets were coins from a dead person's eyes
You fucking belong in a cage
With reckless abandon unchecked
Not so much a sin at this stage
Create your own world and become the pariah-elect

You thought the grass would be greener on the other side
One too many times and the well is dry
Talking to you is like running into the wall
Self serving son of a bitch, I will watch you fall

I've stooped down to your level now
But I do it better than you
Stop trying to be profound
You're just making noise now, it doesn't work out well for you

Blood runs cold
Hate lies bold
We grow old
Heads will roll

War declared by cowards
Words of wisdom from the tongues of fools
Your finest hour
Is forbidden by a list of rules
Brazen misbehavior
Traded everything for nothing
Taste the fleeting flavor
All of this comes down to one thing

God, I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But your ship has sailed and left you
When we die, you will be
Just as dead as me
Come the lifting of the veil, there will be truth
Don't look now but you have bled through
When we die, you will be
Just as dead as me

You care only for yourself
Yet ask why you're so alone
Lies and insults, no more left
Like a dog without a bone

God, I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But your ship has sailed and left you
When we die, you will be
Just as dead as me
Come the lifting of the veil, there will be truth
Don't look now but you have bled through
When we die, you will be
Just as dead as me

Of Cowards And Fools

God of the flesh
Ghosts of the tortured
Under the reign of the soulless whom we have betrayed
The blood of the lamb has been since wiped away 

The tenants this day will lament
The fables of these walls
The cursed daylight has escaped
The windows of these halls 

Terrified to walk inside
Something hides where we reside 

Much to the joy of Belial's thralls
We hear the disembodied calls
The teeth of Hell peirce feeble flesh
We share the torment and unrest 

The tales of dead men
The sound of one hand clapping
On the door, the weeping wraith is tapping
The tales of dead men
The tears of a crocodile
At the door, the spectre cruel and vile 

Loss of all hope
Abort the crusade
When will this Jesus of Nazareth finally come?
Bring nightmares to fathers and visions to sons 

By design, we must endure
The darkest of black days
Fading cries will soon replace
The ones they've come to slay 

Terrified to walk inside
Something hides where we reside 

Fraught with a rage from beyond the grave
Weaving their first future slaves
Taut beneath their halo of gold
Shed the tear, arrange the coals 

The tales of dead men
The sound of one hand clapping
On the door, the weeping wraith is tapping
The tales of dead men
The tears of a crocodile
At the door, the spectre cruel and vile 

Long at least to rest in peace
No release for the deceased
Raise the beast that he may feast
We decrease to but a piece 

Frozen in time in purgatory
No light to shine this ugly morning
Fury divine, end of the story
You and your kind begin the mourning

The Tales Of Dead Men

Running red lights down The Devil's back
And I've got a bone to pick with you 
The radio is burning up your brand new track
Cause it's just what the expected of you
Money talks but hardly ever tells the truth 
Am I raining on your little parade
A masterpiece of shit for masturbating the youth
They'll be done with you in just a few days 

Sweeping all the idiots off of their feet
I said sweeping all the idiots off of their feet
Let's go! 

I've got a goddamn axe, motherfucker
I've got an axe to grind
It's time to face the goddamn facts, motherfucker
I've got a goddamn axe to grind
You better watch your goddamn back, motherfucker
I've got an axe to grind
I've got a goddamn axe, motherfucker 
I've got a goddamn axe to grind 

Strung together like freight train of clitchés
But you think you're clever nevertheless
I'll pirate me a copy of your shit today
So I can throw it down and soak it in piss 

Sweeping all the idiots off of their feet
I said sweeping all the idiots off of their feet
Let's go! 

I've got a goddamn axe, motherfucker
I've got an axe to grind
It's time to face the goddamn facts, motherfucker
I've got a goddamn axe to grind
You better watch your goddamn back, motherfucker
I've got an axe to grind
I've got a goddamn axe, motherfucker 
I've got a goddamn axe to grind 

Grind... 

I have got this axe to grind
I've got this axe to grind 

I've got a goddamn axe, motherfucker
I've got an axe to grind
It's time to face the goddamn facts, motherfucker
I've got a goddamn axe to grind
You better watch your goddamn back, motherfucker
I've got an axe to grind
I've got a goddamn axe, motherfucker 
I've got a goddamn axe to grind

Axe To Grind

Curse this day of our dear lord
With your final breath 
Borrowed time you cannot afford 
Concrete tastes like death
Make your bed in your own blood
With a starving dog
Just a drop into the flood
Through the blinding fog 

I bury the hatchet between your eyes
One of us will have to die
Blind gentleman strolling through the crossfire
A god exiled from his spire
You'll stop all your talking when your jaw breaks
Show me how much you can take
Dry heaving and choking on idle threats
I extract a pound of flesh 

Treats for your famished ego
Jowels of the swine
Into the nether we go
Tomorrow declined
Fingers chopped to save the hand
Broken abbicus
You are not even half a man
Don't you compare us 

I bury the hatchet between your eyes
One of us will have to die
Blind gentleman strolling through the crossfire
A god exiled from his spire
You'll stop all your talking when your jaw breaks
Show me how much you can take
Dry heaving and choking on idle threats
I extract a pound of flesh 

I bury the hatchet between your eyes
One of us will have to die
Blind gentleman strolling through the crossfire
A god exiled from his spire
You'll stop all your talking when your fucking jaw breaks
Show me how much you can take
Dry heaving and choking on idle threats
I extract a pound of flesh

A Pound Of Flesh

Hear me, God, it's your least favorite son
Burning down your precious creation
Light a fire and then all is gone
Burning down your precious creation 

Grace leaves me not a taste
Gone without a trace
Not even an explanation
The lord will forgive no more
My dear mother for
Birthing this abomination 

A misery as long as the day is 

All time low
My greetings from below
All time low
Further down I go 

Oh my God, I've been left here for dead
Took a swim but then I drowned instead
Such a state all that I see is red
Tried to swim but then I drowned instead 

My shadow comes to life
Fills my back with knives
Feel so weak the wind could knock me
Loose from a useless noose
Closer to the bruise
When I look away they mock me 

A misery as long as the day is 

All time low
My greetings from below
All time low
Further down I go 

The eyes of strangers are an ice cold tomb
Surely soon I'm bound to drop and weap
To feel the vice grip of the hand of doom
Is to endear oneself to final sleep 

All time low
My greetings from below
All time low
Further down I go 

My greetings from below
Further down I go
My greetings from below 
Further down I go 

All time low

All Time Low

Pending the promise of the new kingdom 
The propoganda salesman speaks and all the world will hear
The congregation after the sermon 
Are chomping at the bit to get through their remaining years
Waxing judgmental the yarn of ages
The bearer of damnation watches, waiting for the day
Drop your donation into the plate now
If we all pitch in, we can all afford the righteous way 

Knowledge is power
But ignorance is bliss 

See no evil
Or your eyes will become blind
Hear no evil
Or your ears deafness will bind
Speak no evil
Or your tongue will burn away
Know no evil
Or know not another day 

Pestilence rises from the Euphrates
He comes here conquering and still to conquer even more
War has been declared upon the godless
Killing one another as foretold in ancient lore
Famine will drive men to desperation 
A penny for three measures of barley or one part wheat
Death follows closely with Hell behind him
And he will bring with him a sword, hunger and many beasts 

Knowledge is power
But ignorance is bliss

See no evil
Or your eyes will become blind
Hear no evil
Or your ears deafness will bind
Speak no evil
Or your tongue will burn away
Know no evil
Or know not another day

No Evil

Longer than life, stronger than death
Even beyond my final breath
The demons I could never slay
Have all gone away
And as I ache for you, my love
The only thing I can dream of
I show you scars that cover me
No one else can see 

In the dark of night, be not afraid to bloom
One gypsy soul, wanderlust, skyclad moon lily
Twilight falls and still be not afraid to bloom
Little footprints on the face of Earth, moon lily 

When troubled days return anew
I'll walk through the abyss with you
So take your slumber through the storm
You will be safe and warm
And if your fragile heart should break
The one in me is yours to take
If, God forbid, your eyes fall blind
I will give you mine 

In the dark of night, be not afraid to bloom
One gypsy soul, wanderlust, skyclad moon lily
Twilight falls and still be not afraid to bloom
Little footprints on the face of Earth, moon lily
