Lyrics


1. THE BEGINNING OF THE END

Your colors fading
Your halos looking dim
Hide behind hate my patience has worn thin
How can we proceed?
Just acknowledge what is true
The glutton & the guilty
THE DEMON THAT IS YOU!

You, you have let me down
You have left me cold
You don't understand
You haven't won
You've begun ,it's begun
The beginning of the end!...
I will not forget I cannot forgive
You don't understand.
You haven't won, you've begun ,it's begun the beginning of the end!

You're now addicted
your futures looking dim
So hide behind fear
And watch the end begin
It's complicated, At least that's what you claim
Who forgives the unrepentant?
And the crimes done in your name?
What have we become?
If we could start all over again, where would it lead us Then?
But you can't escape the truth, no matter what you want to believe, it always comes back to you.

You, you have let me down
You have left me cold
You don't understand
You haven't won
You've begun ,it's begun
The beginning of the end!...
I will not forget I cannot forgive
You don't understand.
You haven't won, you've begun ,it's begun the beginning of The end!


2. FEELING FASCIST ?

Are you feeling Fascist?
Are you feeling mean?
We don't need a reason.
We don't need a thing.
We destroy just who we want to,
Brutally is "in".
Oppression is our weapon,
Chaos is our king.

If ignorance is really bliss?
You should be happy,
You should be happy.
If you amount to only this,
I'm really sorry,
I'm really sorry.
If ignorance is really bliss?
You should be happy,
You should be happy.
If you amount to only this,
I'm really sorry.

We never heard of free will,
Independence is a sin.
If you think your superior,
Then you're as good as in.
Its psychosis and delusion,
Arrogance, denial.
And so much more awaits you, yeah,
We sell it by the mile.

If ignorance is really bliss?
You should be happy,
You should be happy.
If you amount to only this,
I'm really sorry,
I'm really sorry.
If ignorance is really bliss?
You should be happy,
You should be happy.
If you amount to only this,
I'm really sorry.

And are we justified?
I don't think so.
But we never let the truth get in the way.
And when you're crucified,
Who will you turn to?
You can sell your soul to cover up the pain.

So if you're felling fascist,
And if your conscience is clean.
We're holier than everyone,
And immorally supreme.
Don't question what we tell you,
Just devour what we sell.
Why should we serve in heaven,
When we could rule all in hell?

If ignorance is really bliss?
You should be happy,
You should be happy.
If you amount to only this,
I'm really sorry,
I'm really sorry.
If ignorance is really bliss?
You should be happy,
You should be happy.
If you amount to only this,
I'm really sorry,
I'm really sorry.

If ignorance is really bliss?
If ignorance is really bliss?
You should be happy.


3. NOTHING'S SACRED

Nothing's sacred.
Nothing's pure.
Nothing's sacred, anymore.
Forget salvation.
Forget the cure
'Cause nothing's sacred anymore.

I've seen it all.
I've seen it all before.
It's such a bore.
You sell your souls like a whores.

You've killed, free will.
Free Me, of responsability.
You hope, you pray,
You'll be the one who's saved.

But nothing's sacred.
Nothing's pure.
Nothing's sacred, anymore.
Forget salvation.
Forget the cure
'Cause nothing's sacred anymore.

I've asked you all.
I've begged you all before.
Give in to evolution,
But you'd rather buy absolution.

You've killed, free will.
Free Me, of responsability.
You hope, you pray,
You'll be the one who's saved.

But nothing's sacred.
Nothing's pure.
Nothing's sacred, anymore.
Forget salvation.
Forget the cure
'Cause nothing's sacred, anymore.

There's no salvation.
There's no truth.
We are your retribution.
We are the brutal youth.
We are the future.
We are the past.
We are your guilt trip.
And we are you class.

But nothing's sacred.
Nothing's pure.
Nothing's sacred, anymore.
Forget salvation.
Forget the cure
'Cause nothing's sacred, anymore.


4. HEACEN NOW

I dont want to bleed
I dont want to bait
I dont want to see
The pain and the hate
That you need to feel
You need to feel alive

Down inside your soul
Your blood and your skin
Nod to the cold and nod to the sin
And it makes you feel
It makes you feel alive

I want heaven
I want heaven
I want heaven right now

You've given it away
The sin you create
To addicts of pain
Disease is the faith
And it makes them feel
It makes them feel alive

I just want the truth
I dont want your pain
I just want the truth
Without your shame
And i need to feel
I need to feel alive

I want heaven
I want heaven
I want heaven right now

I've been crucified
Almost died
I've seen too much of your darker side
I dont care anymore
I just want it all
Right now


5. AMERICA'S A FUCKING DISEASE

They want to tell you what to think.
They want to tell you what to feel.
They want to tell you what is right
And what is wrong.
They want to tell you what is real.

What ever happened to us?
What ever happened to love?
We were the real thing.
We were the real thing.

America's a fucking disease.
You're on your back and down on your knees.
They question what you want to believe.
No question what you want to believe.

Are you afraid of the truth?
Are you afraid what you'd find?
Are you happy in denial?
Are you happy being blind?

Love turned to vanity.
Truth turned hypocrisy.
We were the real thing,
Now we are nothing.

America's a fucking disease.
You're on your back and down on your knees.
They question what you want to believe.
No question what you want to believe.

And you won't ever see the truth.
You can't be questioned if you're strong.
And you won't ever stop to think,
If what you've done is right or worng.
Because you're on the side of God,
And you've crowned yourself a king.
But when you're not among your little sheep,
you just don't understand a thing.

Love turned to vanity.
Truth turned hypocrisy.
We were the real thing,
Now we are nothing.

America's a fucking disease.
You're on your back and down on your knees.
They question what you want to believe.
No question what you want to believe.

America, America.
America, America.
America, America.
America,
America's a fucking disease.


6. COMPLEX MESSIAH

You drew a line at being honest.
You drew a line at being sincere.
You drew a line at being there for me.
You drew a line that much is clear.
I don't believe that it was hopeless.
I don't believe you can get something for free.
And now I can honestly tell you,
You mean absolutely nothing to me.

I am the last man standing here.
I am the last one who'll tell you all the truth.
I am your last chance and you fear it,
So take your last breath brutal youth.
You can't see that you're killing yourselves.
you can't see that you've thrown it all away.
You've turned Heaven into Hell.
You're only happy when you inflict pain.

I don't want to think.
I don't want to feel.
I don't want to know.
I don't want to heal.
I don't want to love.
I don't want to help.
I don't want to trust.
I just want myself.
I don't want to give.
I don't want to grow.
There is nothing real,
I don't care who knows.
The last bridge is burned.
I just want to be,
The one in control,
With no empathy.

You can't see that you're killing yourselves.
You can't see that you've thrown it all away.
You've turned Heaven, into Hell.
You're only happy, when you inflict pain.
I am the last man standing here.
I am the last one who'll tell you all the truth.
I am your last chance and you fear it,
So take your last breath brutal youth.


7. REPUBLIC

You're being used.
You're being lied,
To in a desert without water.
You are desperate to believe,
You're like a lamb led to the slaughter.
Self deceive you won't believe,
You're like a child seeking mother.
You need guidance,
You see violence as a way to control others.

Do you think that ignorance sets you free?
Has salavery made you all you can be?
Is cruelty your new authority?
Do you think the lies are convincing me?

I don't care if you hurt.
I don't care if you're blind.
If its too late to convince you,
Then I don't care if you die.

You're in the dark,
You're in the depts,
You're in an ocean of disease.
You've lost control to those who know,
Life as pain and lust and greed.
And in the end,
Can you defend the things,
You say that you despise?
Can you see the cold and naked,
Truth that's there before your eyes?

Do you think that ignorance sets you free?
Has salavery made you all you can be?
Is cruelty your new authority?
Do you think the lies are convincing me?

I don't care if you hurt.
I don't care if you're blind.
If its too late to convince you,
Then I don't care if you die.

Can you see?
You'll never be free.
Can you see?
You'll never be free.

I don't care if you hurt.
I don't care if you're blind.
If its too late to convince you,
Then I don't care if you die.

So die.
So die.
So die.
So die.


8. FEAR

Come take a piece of me.
Come cripple what you see.
Come be a part of what's inside.
You wanted something more,
That what was really yours,
Come on and use what you despise.

You're all ever need.
I'll never make you bleed,
Until I use you up,
And still that's not enough.

And all that I can't see,
Is insincerity.
And all that I can see,
Is void of personality.

Don't go near,
The man you fear.

Just take away my name,
And bury all the fame.
And let the fear make them blind.
And that is all you need,
To satisfy your greed.
And sell yourself as the divine.

You're all ever need.
I'll never make you bleed,
Until I use you up,
And still that's not enough.

And all that I can't see,
Is insincerity.
And all that I can see,
Is void of personality.

Don't go near,
The man you fear.
He's truth lies there,
The man you fear.

Don't go near,
The man you fear.
He's truth lies there,
The man you fear.

I am the man you fear.
I am the man you fear.
I am the man you fear.
I am the man you fear.
I am the man you fear.
I am the man you fear.
I am the man you fear.


9. PURE

I, I used to be so sure.
I, I used to be so pure.
I cannot explain,
I get lost in the pain.
In the meaning there's a mystery,
That's hidden and locked,
That's the paradox,
You never know until it's too late.

I, I've seen it all before.
I, I wanted so much more.
The things I was sure,
Were perfect and pure,
Where nothing more than fantasies,
All hidden inside, something so unkind,
And you never know until it's too late.

I'm going to the open sea,
And I'm going to say goodbye to me.
I'm going to the open sea,
And I'm going to say goodbye to me.
I'm going to the open sea,
And I'm going to say goodbye to me.
I'm going to the open sea,
And I'm going to say goodbye to me.


10. THE KIDS ARE ALL WRONG

Fame, hate, pain,
It all controls you.
Rage, fear, blame,
It satisfies you.

No one ever really loved you much anyway,
No one really understands so you'll make them pay.
They're the target,
They're the meat,
They're the animal.
You're the star, you are pure,
They're the criminal.

It isn't hard, bigger than God.
Filthy mind, you're one of my kind.
And I can see, how it should be,
We don't belong,
The Kids are all wrong.

The Kids are all wrong.
The Kids are all wrong.

Love, trust, faith,
It all escaped you.
Self, lies, rage,
And now this shape you.

It's from the Id, it has come to devour you.
You're the star no matter what they are telling you.
Make them afraid and they'll respect what you tell them to.
Make them afraid and maybe one day they'll love you too.

It isn't hard, bigger than God.
Filthy mind, you're one of my kind.
And I can see, how it should be,
We don't belong,
The Kids are all wrong.

It isn't hard, bigger than God.
Filthy mind, you're one of my kind.
And I can see, how it should be,
We don't belong,
The Kids are all wrong.

The Kids are all wrong.
The Kids are all wrong.
The Kids are all wrong.
The Kids are all wrong.
The Kids are all wrong.
The Kids are all wrong.
The Kids are all wrong.


11. LOVE YOU TU DEATH

I die when I hear your voice,
To touch you Divine.
Be my posession, my sweet obsession wine.

I'm dealing in demons love,
Is just a matter of time.
I'll wear you down,
One day you will be mine.

Only I can make your life complete,
Just give yourself to me.
Only I can make your destiny.

So give me your heart my love,
And give me your soul.
I'd give you mine but I
Sold it long ago.

Only I can see inside of you
Just give yourself to me.
And I won't stop until you see the truth.

I love you to death.
I love you completelly,
A love that is purely vain.
I never meant to hurt you so badly,
I thought you'd enjoy the pain.

I know what you feel it love,
I can tell from your tears.
So don't deny me,
Give into your fears.

I love you to death.
I love you completelly,
A love that is purely vain.
I never meant to hurt you so badly,
I thought you'd enjoy the pain.
I love you to death.
I love you completelly,
A love that is purely vain.
I never meant to hurt you so badly,
I thought you'd enjoy the pain.


12. THE PAIN LOOKS GOD ON YOU

What will you do?
What will it prove?
When your indifference,
Comes back to you?
What can I say,
To make you understand?
All of your misery,
Comes from your own hands.

Why ban the bomb?
Why turn the other cheek?
Why care at all?
When the pain looks good on you.

Can't you see past,
Your own vanity.
Or does self worship,
Rule your land of apathy.

Why ban the bomb?
Why turn the other cheek?
Why care at all?
When the pain looks good on you.

You push me, I push you back.
No reason to think.
You push me, I push you back.
You lose if you blink.

You push me, I push you back.
No reason to think.
You push me, I push you back.
you lose if you blink.

Why ban the bomb?
Why turn the other cheek?
Why care at all?
When the pain looks good on you.

You must want to suffer.
You must love to hate yourself.
So why seek solutions,
When the pain looks good on you?
