Born in privilege, only to be forever cursed Taunted and haunted by, the embryonicly incomplete It tortures you in silence Anxiety, your reality Malignantly it mutters... Things they only speak of in hell Cannot escape the voice, in your head It whispers atrocities, in your sleep Slowly driving you insane It seeks to take your life away This Devil Twin, you won't let in, is taking over The need for escape 23 years held captive by your own body which torments you daily Deceptively, hiding its grim face from reality The need for escape 23 years held captive by your own body which torments you daily Deceptively, hiding its grim face from reality - Mark solo - Noble blood does not mean, a noble way of life Taunted into submission, you pen your final goodbye Can't stand the presence, of your Devil Twin You order its immolation Lest it continues its dreadful, whispering in your grave Cannot escape the voice, in your head It whispers atrocities, in your sleep Slowly driving you insane It seeks to take your life away This Devil Twin, you won't let in, is taking over

- Ira Solo - Fixated in a trance Divination is at hand Practicing arts condemned by the mass populace Gazing into your reflection Created by a luke warm liquid The Scryer starts his mantra As he departs from his husk I am but an entity, dragging you down Through the pits of Hell The scripture is carried out Desperately, disoriented, you frantically scramble To pick up the pieces of your shattered past, but don’t cut your hands! Never again will you innocently see the light of day Now is the time for body and mind to finally part ways To dabble with the unknown And let your soul stray so far away from home The occult is no place for your arrogant disposition Overzealous aspirations has led you down a careless path Now your soul has lost control Engulfed by darkness, distress and despair I am but an entity, dragging you down Through the pits of Hell The scripture is carried out Desperately, disoriented, you frantically scramble To pick up the pieces of your shattered past, but don’t cut your hands! Never again will you innocently see the light of day Now is the time for body and mind to finally part ways - Ira solo - Desperately, disoriented, you frantically scramble To pick up the pieces of your shattered past, but don’t cut your hands! Never again will you innocently see the light of day Now is the time for body and mind to finally part ways Predicting catastrophes Millions of casualties, world disasters, part ways! Possessed by the entity Frightening humanity with your deviant tales

- Brett solo - Innocence denied, gone is any chance of a normal life Things can’t be unseen, scars the developing mind Taken from the care of home, forced to kill the ones you know and love Trauma bred callous brings violence, brings hate, brings death! - Ira solo - Powers prey upon the weak Forced to do unspeakable things Leaders held to no accountability Society has set a standard Still questions are left unanswered People want to know “Where could these children be?” Powers prey upon the weak Forced to do unspeakable things Leaders held to no accountability Society has set a standard Still questions are left unanswered People want to know “Where could these children be?” They force the fight On impressionable minds Raised to hate Desensitized Torn away, from their purity Stripped of all innocence While cowards in power sit in luxury Expendable young lives die We all know something is not right When the wolves hide in plain sight - Ira solo - Brainwashed and committed to the cause that destroyed their lives Shattered is the splendor that they thought they knew Malicious and twisted they have warped their feeble minds The overwhelming feeling that you’re doomed Drugged and desensitized a naïve mind Raised in a war you’ve been Shrapnel Baptized Twisted emotion contorted compassion A struggle to re-patronize - Ira solo - - Layne guest solo - Media shuts down any chance to shed some light On the real situation and their torturous life Learn to trust your captor and find safety in the pain We’re all created equal, but not valued the same Drugged and desensitized a naïve mind Raised in a war you’ve been Shrapnel Baptized Twisted emotion contorted compassion A struggle to re-patronize - Marcus solo - - Brett solo -

Carelessly we go about like any other day Ignorance, pollute the Earth; yet don’t accept your fate All warning signs they try to hide from public eye you can’t deny Enslave the population There is no other way The bloodline must stay unscathed At any cost; the divine plague This way of life is too far gone We now will never change In detrimental bliss we live Afraid to bring out change Our stable lives; enslaved to die None can hide behind the veil of lies Our stable lives; enslaved to die None can hide behind the veil of lies - Mark solo - Enslave the population There is no other way The bloodline must stay unscathed At any cost; the divine plague Ozonihilation Planned planet deconstruction while the elite hide The populace accepts fate Without questioning who orchestrates it World wide corporations All working for the same goal; Enslave the population Ozonihilation Only the rich live on Buy their way to salvation With a processed, manufactured way of life Buy their way to salvation With a processed, manufactured way of life - Brett solo - - Mark solo - Mass suffocation around the globe Panic ensues as terror unfolds No escape for the general population Watch as their loved ones choke and die All will perish before the day is done We brought this upon ourselves Taken for granted life in itself We thought we were untouchable Like sanctioned by a divine plan Careless, ruthless, we ran the planet fucking dry

- Mark solo - We are victims of eternal damnation Targets of infernal demise Damned to walk A living hell Walk the earth Your final prize is to rot in dirt - Ira solo - When we are forsaken Forgotten and left to die Nothing will matter Currency is a lie Fabricated for man to control Because power is what we truly strive Conforming ourselves Molding our minds Your morals are false But that’s justified? Sick of your malevolent ways A Brainwashed Civilization has emerged From the sadistic intent To rule over all man Is it a crime to breathe? If I do not own the air Is it a crime to be free? Punishable by death Is it a crime to breathe? If I do not own the air Is it a crime to be free? Punishable by death - Brett solo - - Mark solo - Sick of your malevolent ways A Brainwashed Civilization has emerged From the sadistic intent To rule over all man Is it a crime to breathe? If I do not own the air Do we own this land? Yes Or does it own us? Is it a crime to breathe? If I do not own the air Is it a crime to be free? Yes Punishable by death Living in fear A constant “What if”? But when it’s over you’re left with regret I will not blindly follow ways Because others do the same...
