Evilution Devilution Revolution screaming metal's on its way And there's hell to pay I can hear the screams of hate Echoes of retribution I can see the country's fate Legions of revolution We all have one voice Scream out for change For change Betrayal Betrayed our trust Lies that shine in time turn to rust Betrayal of the masses I can see them standing there Writing the constitution All for one and none for all Seems to be their solution

Form 04:57
You will have the faith And you will have the power And you all shall kneel down before me I am the new God Touch my hand and I shall save your soul This is the church of blood And the baptism by fire In my dreams God speaks to me And you all shall be damned If you don't believe This is what he speaks How can you be so weak And he's laughing all the while As he pulls your leash Form your own opinion Don't you buy that shit Now the preacher thinks His church is my t.v. set 69 miles to Jonestown Waco's on the way Sell your soul to mind control Operation obey So let it be written So let it be done So many religions There can only be one Form your own opinion Under one good God Now the preacher thinks I can't see through his facade

Damaged 05:33
Wounds that will not heal Cover the sears of the tortured soul Like broken machinery Rusted and in the rain cannot be the same I am damaged inside I am burning inside The hands of time keep on turning And it's burning my eyes Love has no meaning to those who have never loved Dreaming deceiving phantasmagoria I am damaged I am damaged I am damaged Just another slave to the system In this dying world All that time reveals Stare at the scars till you're goin' blind Like broken machinery Rusted and sitting there far beyond repair
4.
Awaken on the other side Where twilight descends Wicked from the womb we rise From underneath the skin Answering the calling To face our fate at hand The forming of pure evil Created by man Betrayal of the masses Leaves blood upon the bricks Damaged lost and suffering Into the black we slip
5.
This can't be real only imagination Running wild in you I can see the signs writings on the wall It's coming home This is my world dripping with pain Bring it home for you Once you have seen it You won't be the same Cause here comes the pain Agony and ecstasy Showing signs of lunacy Once you're gone you can't come back Journey to hell into the black Trapped inside your twisted mind Pain of the killing kind Waiting for you they're waiting for you Into the black This is your tortured frustration Running all through you You can't find your way You've been led astray It's coming back These are my sins They're all that I have Bring'em home for you Nevermind my friend don't you feel bad Cause your time is soon Eyes are open wide But what do you see? Is it real? Or is it fantasy? Illusion of your mind Apparition of some kind Phantasmagoria Into the black you won't be back Images are bending Transcending Dripping illusions Soaking your soul Drowning the light And takes all control Burning your thoughts Igniting your fear Distorting the sound Of all that you hear in your mind Agony ecstasy screaming insanity Roaring inside your head Trapped in a place of pain cannot be the same Look where this path has led Screaming but no one hears Caged inside your fears Leaving this world behind Into the darkened mist Does this really exist Or is it just your mind? Waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you Into the black
6.
Blood on the bricks What a sick twisted world we are living' in Kill / marry / fuck where do I begin I gotta hear the sounds and I gotta hear it loud To drown other the world that tries to keep me down I'm gettin' higher Power in the streets Power in every eye they meet Nothing but hypocrites Before they take my music away Blood on the Blood on the bricks Preacher don't like what I say I told you once there's hell to pay Let me hear heaven and nature sing So far I don't hear anything But I feel the fire
7.
Awaken 06:21
Awaken inside the crystal dream Transcending across the velvet scream I can sense a rebirth New world awaits Never ending nightmare Is now wide awake Darkness consumes the light Sick sense of pain I can see it coming Let the madness reign Underneath the crimson sky Burning Watching closely at the tides Turning Underneath the crimson shy One day soon we shall arise I can see forever So raise your voices high The fire burns on and on The dream never dies Legions carry on the fight The new world machine All guns blazing at you Madness reigns supreme
8.
Lost 03:18
You're lost again Try to keep your head above the water Better take a deep breath cause it ain't over yet Your lies harder to swallow Better take a good look at the fisherman's hook All this time you've been lost All this time you've been lost You're lost again You're lost again You're lost again You're lost again Try to work your way out of the darkness Try to see the light burning in the night Your eyes could see tomorrow Open them up wide you don't even try Try to find your way out of the darkness You stumbled then you fell In a darkened world you dwell Your life is in front of you You just sit and stare and watch it vanish in thin air
9.
Sister sweet sister can you wash away my sins? Sister sweet sister can you make me pure again? Sister sweet sister can you take away my pain? Can you make me pure again? Violated no respect for human life Stupid and senseless Random acts of violence Look into the eyes of a mother of a murdered child Is nothing truly pure? Not only did her child die So did a part of her Innocence lost Hear the cleansing water run Screaming you're not dreaming Bad blood through and through Wicked from the womb Persecuted just for the color of your skin Guilty of being white Reverse racism The only time we're equal is when we die Is nothing truly fair? The only things in life we are guaranteed is death and taxes the powers that be The visions faded it's the blind leading the blind Freedom's never free Where's the heaven that we seek Take a look around and tell me what you see Is nothing sacred? You tell me Open your eyes and read between the lies The truth is still stuck in their teeth
10.
When you build a world Made out of lies The fortress of shame Crumbles in time Turn my back and you're cutting on me Face to face it's a different story How ya doin' how have you been I just laugh at your two faced grin These eyes are open wide They've seen it all I know how to play the game It's all the same It don't take long to see through the slime I... I can see Through your lies Underneath Lies and deceit Betrayed and shame Underneath It seems you're all the same No guts no goddamn glory You stand and shake man I got no worries Time after time you watch your bridges burn I don't think you'll ever fucking learn When you base your life On deceit and lies The dust you kick Will end up in your own eyes
11.
In your darkest hour of need Bleeding innocence lies Searching for serenity Where even death may come to die Spread your wings and fly away Soaring high above all your yesterdays Angel's wings soak all I bleed It's raining red as they fly Staining the world forever As bleeding innocence lies Darkness divinity Endless infinity Let our journey begin... As twilight descends
12.
Welcome to the other side Make yourself comfortable Lay down and die Welcome to life's Catch 22 The more you run the more it comes undone What a tangled web you weave my friend Buried bones can come back to haunt you again The other side of twilight The other side of twilight Father Time is laughing precious years you're wasting Fucking ignorant I welcome you to the mind's eye view As twilight descends then the trip begins What a twisted game you play my friend When checkmate is close you start all over again You will never be the same Once you have seen the pain Falling from the sky Angle's wings soak all I bleed As they wait for death to die Such a lonely space in time
13.
Something's calling to us from the otherside Tempting us to reach out to the electric sky Visions of hope and glory through mystic light Is this the ending to our story As we fade into..........The night Face your fear face your fate Heaven can wait until it's over Hear the call take it all before it's too late Now's the time to face your fate Answer the calling and face your fate Answer the calling and face your fate now Darkness divinity endless infinity Drift into oblivion another space in time Lose yourself inside the madness Darkness is divine Twisting and turning time is burning your soul Twisting and turning time is taking its toll Face your fate its coming for you Face your fate its calling to you Something's calling to us From the otherside
