Harsh Reality

in my dreams • i’ve died too many times • only to awake • and realize i’m still alive • visions of violence • visions of failure • visions of suffering • visions of annihilation• the horrors in my head • foreshadow the future to come • humanity turns to insanity • our greatest fears are destiny •

Dead And Gone
02:30
|
|||
|
nothing golden stays • it all rots away • with all your hopes and dreams • the reaper will always catch up to you • blue in the face • constantly biting my tongue • hate feeds off me • my heart is frozen and numb • no matter how far you run • no matter how long you hide • the ghost is always behind you • the regrets are always inside you • no more reasons to keep screaming • take your side, to live or die • deliver me from my pain • rid me from all the fears • burn my past • cut my future short • my eulogy is written • here lies a broken man • death got the upper hand • followed the footsteps to his place • to a fucking early grave •

face your death • down on your knees • a paralyzing blow • strikes you from behind • you’ve only got yourself to blame • i mark you as my target • as you wither in shame • your fearful glare • into my eyes • fills me with laughter • as you meet your demise • the world has seen • the last of you • thick pool of blood • head split into two • your apologies were too late • there’s nothing you can say • the damage has been done • the pain you caused • has left you with no where to run • i can live with the blood on my hands • no regret that i did this to you • i’ve finally snapped and i’ve had enough • “eye for an eye” • it’s the end of you •

Nothing Left
01:43

|
you know nothing about me • you only know what you see • too quick to judge who i am • keep your distance, stay away from me • fuck what you think • fuck what you say• you won’t get the best of me • i’ll take you out if you get in my way • you run your mouth • and nobody hears you • when you finally burn all of your bridges • who can you turn to • you’ll fail • you will never win • no longer will you stand in my way • no longer will you deface my name • no longer will you sit on your throne • because i’m cutting you down to the bone • but everywhere i turn • there’s someone like you • i play this game almost every day • i’ll take you out if you get in my way •

Bleak Existence
02:16
|
|||
|
the end times have finally come • the fall of man is now at hand • life has become a sickened curse • and your bitter rivals now walk the earth • the only light turns to ash • dawn never comes • the air’s getting harder to breathe • darkness is all you see • pain’s all you feel • damned to eternal sleep • beg for the holy ghost to save you • but you’ll continue to suffer • as the skies above turn black • and the ground beneath you crumbles to dust • now feeling sick and empty inside • all alone and wondering why • finding nothing else to hold onto • you’re face to face with the end • the only light turns to ash • dawn never comes • the air’s getting harder to breathe • darkness is all you see • pain’s all you feel • damned to eternal sleep • whimpering cries • heard in the distance • gurgling blood • they become more distant and weak • humanity is slowly slipping away • all hope has gone away •

The Fear
02:11
|
|||
|
running in circles • you can’t find your way • through the darkness • thoughts in dismay • searching for shelter • feet covered in blisters • tripping on the remains of what you once knew • the fear • that there’s no chance of survival • the fear • now you’ve lost total control • the emptiness • is filling up inside you • the feeling of doubt • has left you longing for the easy way out • running in circles • you can’t find your way • through the darkness • thoughts in dismay • searching for shelter • feet covered in blisters • tripping on the remains of what you once knew • standing alone • it all seems to much • head in your hand • can’t keep in touch • the pressure is building inside your mind • facing the panic • halting your stride • is this the end of the journey • where do you go from here • your silence speaks louder than words • your silence speaks your fear • teeth clenched, afraid of the outcome • it’s too late to turn back now • accepting for once in your foolish life
• you were born to lose, it ends tonight •
