Factions - 2013
-The Derelict-
You’ve lulled yourself into complacency
But the safety you feel is all in your head
Step down from your pulpit
Look and see the generation that you’ve left for dead
Look and see the generation that you’ve left for dead
Tear the veil from your eyes
And see that this is a war of attrition
No Father, tear the veil from their eyes
Give me strength to light the flame that
Will burn their world
(Tear the veil from your eyes, and you
will see the generation you have left for dead,
you have chosen to sit and watch from the sidelines,
you have forsaken your purpose.
Everywhere I turn, my brothers,
my sisters, all your children have closed their eyes,
they have lost their focus,
their hearts have grown cold,
just say the word and I will light the flame that will burn their world)
You have fought the battle and bear the scars
And they turned you away cause you’re dangerous
But look around, you are not alone
You have fought the battles and bear the scars
And they turned you away because you’re dangerous
But look around, you are not alone
We will live forever!
Too many times have I seen someone come to you for guidance
Only to find a congregation who have turned their backs
Have you forgotten it’s not your place to turn his children away?
You cast judgment on the scars that mark them
YOU WILL BURN
Father, everywhere I turn, your people have closed their eyes
-Like Father, Like Son-
As I grasp onto your arm, I only look for acceptance and love
My heart is calling out to feel the warmth of my father (my father)
Is it too much to ask for you to wake up?
These scars on my face only remind me we live in a broken world
We live in a broken world
You threaten me with everything in your reach
Can’t you see how pathetic you are?
You spit in my face and you call me trash
I look into your eyes and see nothing but anger
I look into your eyes and see nothing but anger
I can’t take it anymore
I can’t take this anymore
In this broken home I stand
Staring at a blank wall that has been smashed in
I feel as though I am looking into a mirror
Of what’s inside of me, (of what’s inside of me)
Running through the house I find myself running for my life
Why can’t this just be a dream (why can’t this just be a dream)
And when I think I’m safe you are right behind me
Ready to strike me
Daddy
I wish I could run away, and never feel your hand again
Oh no, daddy’s drunk again, and I’ve made a mess, why did I make a mess?
I try to hide in my room but he calls me out, why is daddy so mad at me?
I didn’t mean to upset you, I’m so sorry, please don’t hurt me
I didn’t mean to upset you, I’m so sorry, please don’t hurt me
As you run away into the dark, you fall on your knees, begging Father please
Be the dad I never had
Be the dad I never had
In this broken home I stand
Staring at a blank wall that has been smashed in
I feel as though I am looking into a mirror
Of what’s inside of me, (of what’s inside of me)
Your hates inside my head
Your hates inside my head
-I Was Born With A Gun To My Head-
The hatred that I feel
Is born within this shell
The only redemption I have
Dwells within
I was born with a gun to my head
The chamber’s loaded and there’s nowhere to run
Bullets forged by a malcontent cycle of life
I’ve disfigured all within that’s beautiful
I’m losing grip on all that’s real and I begin to lose my mind
Where is my sanity?
Where is my sanity?
Running circles trapped inside a cage
Will you release me?
Oh God, release me!
I was born with a gun to my head
I was born with a gun to my head
I was born with a gun to my head
The chamber’s loaded and the time has come
Some people are born into tragedy
I need to find a way out of this hell
Is this an oppression of the mind?
Or maybe it’s something else
I feel you creeping upon me
Your claws digging deep in my skull
I will fight you with the strength of the One who died for me
I will fight
I will fight
He sends his demons in disguise
But we will not be deceived
They tear at our mind
But we will rip out their throats
I’m losing grip
Where is my sanity?
-Butchered-
I was walking down a darkened stairway
I have never seen this place before
Rooms sealed by iron doors
Behind them lay unspeakable horrors
The lay inside the fire
Their homes inside the fire
They lay inside the fire
They lay inside the fire and they die and die again
All hope is lost
For reasons I do not know I was shown all these despicable images
Have you ever looked into the eyes of a man as his guts spill from his side?
Hanging from a hook like butchered flesh
He is lost, forever lost
Walking down this darkened stairway
I have never seen this place before
Rooms sealed by iron doors
Behind them lay unspeakable horrors
They lay inside the fire and they die and die again
All hope is lost
They lay inside the fire
Their homes inside the fire
Don’t make your home inside the fire
For reasons I do not know
I was shown all these despicable images
Rooms sealed by iron doors
Behind them lay unspeakable horrors
-The Catalyst-
Father, take my eyes and hold them to the fire
My soul is black as night, and I can’t see you there
Sever me; I need to bleed out this infection (I need to)
Cauterize, burn the flesh, and make me whole again
Once again I throw myself onto shards of glass
Just leave me on the ground
I will just do it again for I am the destroyer
I am the catalyst; you will offer me a way out
And I am the destroyer; don’t expect me to ever be free
My vision is darkening; I need to bleed out this infection (I need too)
I am the destroyer, I am the catalyst
Sever me, I need to bleed, out this infection (I need too)
Cauterize, burn the flesh, and make me whole again
IT’S TOO LATE (I will never survive)
JUST LEAVE ME ON THE GROUND (there’s nothing left inside)
THE CANCER HAS TAKE HOLD OF ME (into the ashes I fall)
THE CANCER HAS TAKEN ITS HOLD ON ME
I am the cancer, I am the cancer
I AM THE CANCER!
-Crushed To Ashes (Interlude)-
[Instrumental]
-Tale Of A Demon-
And behold there was a great earthquake
And the sun became black as night
And the moon became like blood
A great star fell from heaven
Burning like a torch
Destroying a third of the waters
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Fall
Destroy everything
Crush the earth
Turn the oceans to blood
-Forgotten Home-
Yours was a soul that shined so bright
Now tainted and darkened
By another’s bitterness
By another’s bitterness
Now you’re gone
Now you’re gone
He took you by the hand and told you what you wanted to hear
You were lead away by a sirens song
Led away from a place that was made for you
Now you’re gone and I don’t know how to bring you back
He closed your eyes and darkened your world
Now you’re gone and I don’t know how to bring you back
He took you by the hand and told you what you wanted to hear
You were led away from the place that was made for you
He showed you a reality based purely on his own lust
He showed you a reality that you’ll never be freed from
There is a special place in Hell for those who defile His children
You are dead
You are dead
Time is running out
You are dead
Dead and gone
He closed your eyes and darkened your world
Now you’re gone and I don’t know how to bring you back
He took you by the hand and told you what you wanted to hear
You were led away from the place that was made for you
I can’t bring you back
I can’t bring you back
-Teeth Of The Shark-
The world is dead
You’ve corrupted all
Your intentions have been warped and your words are false
You are ready to condemn all those who are suffering because of your hate
And I will not stand by
To watch you condemn all
The world is dead
There you sit upon your pedestal
Built upon the souls you corrupted
With hate laced into the Word of God
Lucifer is calling you home
Your vile words mean nothing to me
You will not infect my heart with hate
I hope that God will rip you from everything you love
And that you’ll become everything you despise
Now you’ve fallen
How does it feel to be on the receiving end?
How does it feel to know you’ve caused so much pain, hurt, and hate?
All the lives you’ve torn apart.
Your vile words mean nothing to me
You will not infect my heart with lies like you’ve done so many times
If it were up to me, I would show you the wrath of God
I would tear your walls asunder and watch the vermin run
I would tear your walls asunder and watch the vermin run
I will not stand y and watch you condemn His children
For all the lives you’ve destroyed, you’ve destroyed
You will fall
You will fall
You will fall
You will fall
Your time will come, you will be judged
Your time will come, you will be judged
God will rip you from your pedestal
-The Descent-
Lying here on my final day
I watched as the sky cracks open (burning red)
I stare at the earth as it falls down around my head
Here I stand, with a choice to make, golden fields behind, dark forest ahead
I know I should turn away but it beckons me
So into the forest I tread
Running through this forest endless and dark
Without a path to guide my way out
They told me I would never make it out alive
But I went in anyway; anyway, I couldn’t help myself
Now I lay here, in a shrouded meadow
The mist trailing across my skin
Silently I watch as the forest closes in
The darkness seeps into my mind as vines pull me from the ground
And hold me fast
Silent voices whisper from the shadows
Their eyes glitter in the dark with perverse intent
They told me in order to escape I must leave my souls behind
And for escape I gave it willingly
I DESCEND
Then their hands burst forth from the ground
Reeking of death
Grasping, possessing
They pull me down
Now I find myself in a maze of prison bars, suspended on a bed of fire
My flesh is burning away, Oh my God what have I done
I’ve fallen into Hell, and now it’s too late
This Is Darkness - 2014

Rain Down Fire
Put on the crown that you made for yourself
You wear it so beautifully
Not a thought, not a care for anyone else
You're just a poison and we are the vaccine
You're just a poison
Dripping off the fangs of a snake
You lack conviction
Your reign will end tonight
And I watched you rise from nothing
Just like a peasant living off the land
You think you're a god but you're barely a man
acting in charge when everything goes according to plan
as soon as you fail you quickly disappear
just like a snake hiding from the heat of the sun
We will set your kingdom ablaze
Rain down fire
Just like a poison we will bleed you from our veins
Cauterize the wound
Take your last breath tonight (take your last breath)
This will be the end, the end of you
And I watched you rise from nothing
Just like a peasant living off the land
Rain down fire
we will set your kingdom ablaze
Rain down fire
You lack conviction
You're just a poison
(X3) We will bleed you from our veins
You're just a poison
Your reign will end
Rain Down Fire
-Death For The Dead-
When there's nothing left to say
When there's nothing more to do
Where your time has run out
This is death for the dead
Death for the dead
Lying in your deathbed
So go, and feel the anger
shadows dance across the room
Though you scream at the top of your lungs
There's no one there to save you
I am the martyr
I lie here forever
They stand there laughing all around
Will you return to me when you die?
So go on into the night
Just know I will never leave your side
My bride
I am the martyr
Lie here forever
They stand there laughing all around
but I'll return when I am in the ground
When there's nothing left to say
BEETLE JUICE
When there's nothing more to do
BEETLE JUICE
When your time has run out
BEETLE JUICE
When there's nothing left to say
When there's nothing more to do
When time has run out
When time has run out
I am the martyr
Lie here forever
Will you return to me when you die?
So go on into the night
Just know I will never leave your side
My bride
My bride
Death for the dead
Death for the dead
-Stray From The Lepers-
Stray from the lepers
The hate that blinded you begins to dissolve
Pray for the diseased
That they may learn to embrace one another
Stray from the lepers
I see why you see the way that you do
This world hasn't given you much to hold on too
we're united as one and yet so torn apart
stray from the lepers
We're so engulfed with all these thoughts of hatred
over and over and over again
The time has come to stand tall above it all
before it leads to murder
Run and hide
terrified
stray from the lepers
the cowards heart
stray from the lepers
stray from the lepers and run until your feet go numb
don't look back oh God never look back
their hatred blinds them like a knife piercing deep in their eyes
Pharisees
stray from the lepers
the hate that blinded you begins to dissolve
pray for the diseased
that they may learn to embrace one another
We're so engulfed with all these thoughts of hatred
over and over and over again
The time has come to stand tall above it all
before it leads to murder
Hatred will bind your soul (destroy your shackles)
The cowards heart
Hatred will bind your soul (destroy your shackles)
The cowards heart
Break free the shackles
Don't look back oh God never look back
Break free the shackles
Before it leads to murder
Stray from the lepers
-This Is Darkness-
Will there be a dawn?
This unseen war approaches
Like prey we are stalked
This darkness falls upon us
The darkness creeps in
They hide in the shadows
I can see them creeping
I can hear them breathing
Be on the frontline
Beyond the crowd
Behind the dangerous who shake the ground
Be on the frontline
Beyond the crowd
Beneath the barriers they make no sound
Do not be shaken
By the whisper of his name they will fear you
This is darkness approaching upon us
There is a veil that shields their world from our own
Rip apart the veil
Replace this darkness with light
Will there be a dawn?
Or are we forever fighting this unseen war
Resist the darkness
I'll bring the fight to you again and again
You'll run in fear with your tail tucked between your legs
For the power behind us is greater
Now you will never stand in our way
This unseen war approaches
Like prey we are stalked
This unseen war is upon us
Will there be a dawn?
Will there be a dawn?
Will there be a dawn?
Will there be a dawn?
Do not be shaken
You are not alone in the darkness
Do not be afraid
By the whisper of his name they will fear you
This Is Darkness
This Is Darkness
-Shadows-
I spared your life today
That's a debt I intend to collect!
Rewind the clocks
This is the hour
The tower of Babel
Shoot your arrows towards the sky
You will Behold a king who will not be challenged
now you will wander until you die
There's nothing new underneath the sun
we continue to fight, but the battle's already been won
As we continue to rebel we only bury ourselves deeper into hell
Into hell
Deeper and deeper into the darkness they descend
never to return
never to be seen again
They bear the mark of the fallen angel
An army gathered from the darkest of places
they wrought death upon the land
their hatred consumes everything in their path
They bear the mark of the fallen angel
An army gathered from the darkest of places
they wrought death upon the land
Against their corruption we must make a stand
All hell cannot contain
The power of the risen king
Satan will be defeated
We will stand by and watch him fall
They bear the mark of the fallen angel
They bear the mark of the fallen one
They bear the mark of the fallen angel
They bear the mark of the fallen one
You bear the mark
Deeper and deeper into the darkness they descend
Never to return, Never to be seen again
I spared your life today
That's a debt I intend to collect
You bear the mark of the fallen angel (Fallen Angel)
Deeper and deeper into the darkness they will descend
Never to return, Never to be seen again
-Orphans-
Reform the vile retribution of anguish
Underneath the skin my blood is clogged
My heart stops dead in its tracks
I cry out but no words form
My body is torn beyond the veil
Help me to breathe again
My time is not up yet
I can offer you truth
Here I stand a broken man
My life has come to this end
What legacy have I left behind for you
Pick up your feet
No longer dwelling in the shadows
I cannot save you
I can only show you how
Help me to breathe again
My time is not up yet
I can offer you truth
What legacy have I left behind for you
My King
My King
Here I stand a broken man
My life has come to this end
What legacy have I left behind for you
Cold and alone
We are all orphans
Cold and alone
Pick up your feet
No longer dwelling in the shadows
Cold and alone
We are all orphans
-The Day Satan Fell-
Show me heaven
Show me hell
Tell me of the day that satan fell
Show me glory
Show me grace
let me gaze upon your sacred face
If God was standing right in front of you,
would you spit out hate like you always do.
If God was standing right in front of you,
Would you try to change your fate
Show me heaven
Show me heaven
Show me heaven, show me your face.
Lift me up into your presence.
I want to see,
I want to see
Satan Fall
Face to the ground as his crown was destroyed
Cast down to the earth by
The wrath of a king with the heart of a lion
Did all of heaven weep,
or was there only silence?
When the hour came and his choice was made,
did he know that all his glory would fade?
did he know that all his glory would fade?
Show me hell
How does it feel to know that one day you will burn in hell
for a crime committed against the holy one.
Did you know you would not succeed,
you had too know you would fail against my God.
If God was standing right in front of you,
would you spit out hate like you always do.
If God was standing right in front of you,
Would you try to change your fate
Did all of heaven weep,
or was there only silence?
Did all of heaven weep,
or was there only silence?
When the hour came and his choice was made,
did he know that all his glory would fade?
Show me heaven
Show me hell
Oh no!! my god has driven you away!
-Killing Time-
please God, can you spare some change for a beggar?
Night after night I scream but nobody's listening.
(Nobody's Listening)
We are headed down a path where the rocks peel the flesh from our feet.
(Nobody's Listening)
How much worse do things have to become before we rise up from the ruins.
We are a generation that will stab you in the back just to get a piece of the pie
Form a line to spare a dime as you watch countless children die
We are "moving forward" but we've never been so far behind
We're All just killing time by putting a knife through every clock that we find
We're all just killing time
Can you hear the cries of desperation?
Can you hear the cries of desperation?
Can you see the fire reduce to embers.
We are a generation that will stab you in the back just to get a piece of the pie
Where did it all go wrong?
When did we lose our way?
How can we fight for each other when we can't even stand our ground?
Where did it all go wrong?
When did we lose our way?
Why do we run and hide as we watch our children die
Can you hear the cries of desperation?
Can you see the fire reduce to embers.
Can you hear the cries of desperation?
Can you see the fire reduce to embers.
Can you hear the cries of desperation?
See the face of starvation
We Form a line to spare a dime as we watch countless children die
We're All just killing time by putting a knife through every clock that we find
KILLING TIME!!!
-Sycophant-
Can you ever forgive me?
I will never forgive myself
I've lost the one I held most dear
All because of my own selfish desires
God forgive me, for I will never forgive myself
Heal me
I scream at everything I am
broken
At everything I am
Free me
For I will never forgive myself
Cleanse me
For I am the disease
I am anger
I am hate
I am hypocrisy (I'll crush your face)
I am anger
I am hate
I am hypocrisy
Don't look at me
You were all that I held most dear
Now all that I regret
My hate has torn you apart
God forgive me
I cannot forgive myself
Heal me
I scream at everything I am
broken
At everything I am
Free me
For I will never forgive myself
Cleanse me
God forgive me, for I will never forgive myself
I will never forgive myself
You were all that I held most dear
Now all that I regret
My hate has torn you apart
God forgive me
I cannot forgive myself
My hate has torn you apart
God forgive me, I cannot forgive myself
God forgive me, I cannot forgive myself
God forgive me, I cannot forgive myself
God forgive me, I cannot forgive myself
-Thy Kingdom Come-
