To Kill God 03:50
"I am not of man, but divinity" Delusional as it may seem, I walk amongst god There among the creators, the secret of life I walk towards forbidden knowledge I cannot die There is power in this world, power I possess Do what you will to oppose me, I will not rest Up above there is a God that doesn't care for his creation And I know why I'm here, I know that I can replace him! My mission here on this earth, my mission here in this life I exist for the people, I exist of the light! Call me crazy but I know I am all powerful It's just a matter of time, I know I cannot die Manic dreams of something greater I have lived, and I will rise I'm alive! I will fly, I cannot die Something calls me to the skies I was made To kill god There is no doubt in my mind, there is no one that can stop me Unhinged and crawling with delusions, I accept my fate I am the most important, I am the powerful one All the riches that are fated to me, will not fail Yet the people stop me, they give me medicine! They tell me God is a concept, an abstract deity I know that I can show them, my will will never falter When I best him in battle, know that I am God! Manic dreams of something greater I have lived, and I will rise I'm alive! I will fly, I cannot die Something calls me to the skies I was made To kill god (To kill god, to kill god, to kill, kill!) (To kill god, to kill god, to kill, kill!) (To kill god, to kill god, to kill, kill!) (To kill god, to kill god, to kill, kill!) What's the truth? Medicated, I begin to see reason I am but a man, but am I really a person Now the mania's gone, and I see myself grounded Will I let the dream go, or let reality slip? I don't know my fate I don't know whats true! These delusions tell me I am more than you! (To kill god, to kill god, to kill, kill!) I don't know my fate (To kill god, to kill god, to kill, kill!) I don't know whats true! (To kill god, to kill god, to kill, kill!) These delusions tell me (To kill god, to kill god, to kill, kill!) I am more than you! Manic dreams of something greater I have lived, and I will rise I'm alive! I will fly, I cannot die Something calls me to the skies I was made To kill god

I don't want this In the arms of a God I look up from the bloodstains, now engraved in my heart A child deranged, determined to fight A God sitting on his throne, he has killed a girl tonight I, the weapon, weeping in his arms There is nothing but dissonance, this hell that I have wrought He says I'll be rewarded, and there is heaven in my sights On the day that I die, I will be saved from my plight Oh take my life, for I have killed my own daughter! Never wanted to do this, but I am forced now to comply In the name of my faith, or in the name of my family I did what I was told, yet I am punished with guilt! Dear child, you were always ill But does that give me the right, to put you out of your misery? Forgive me, my child Forgive me, dear God In the name of a God, I do condemn All the sinners that live without reason! We are not the same, my enlightenment It will wipe off the stains from this treason! Yet is this right, or am I wrong? To judge a child for their condition? I don't want to do this, and all I hope Is that heaven forgive me, for this - What have I done, who have I become? I killed a child who had sinned, she was one of my own! Holy powers that be, save me from these hands I have done what was right, yet am I still in the wrong? Blind belief in a God, blind belief in his powers A girl deranged with psychosis, a soul now tainted with blood! Her spirit stained with a darkness, I could never understand She chose to fight against a power, we could never disobey Was I wrong? Was I right? Was I wrong? Was I - In the name of a God, I do condemn All the sinners that live without reason! We are not the same, my enlightenment It will wipe off the stains from this treason! Yet is this right, or am I wrong? To judge a child for their condition? I don't want to do this, and all I hope Is that heaven forgive me, for this - Forgive me, my child Forgive me, dear God I know not what I have done I know not what I've become There's a darkness in our hearts, I am blinded by the light My God bestowed upon me, to have my child sacrificed For the better good, for the good of us all She never knew his existence, yet she wanted to fight! To kill a god she said, to kill a god and be free There's no light without her, there's no sinner here! Heaven knows not the good that people did as they lived But the sins are illuminated, and I realize If I kill myself, I will not be forgiven But if I kill myself now, can I meet you at the gates? Negotiate a deal, I know the Devil wants me If I kill myself now, can you take my soul instead? There's a child I loved, there's a God that gave me Everything I ever wanted in this lifetime Tell me child, what's it like, on the other side? I don't know why I ask, for I won't meet you there Forgive me, my child! Forgive me, dear God! I know not what I have done! I know not what I've become! In the name of a God, I do condemn All the sinners that live without reason! We are not the same, my enlightenment It will wipe off the stains from this treason! Yet is this right, or am I wrong? To judge a child for their condition? I don't want to do this, and all I hope Is that heaven forgive me, for this rope

Day 23, there's no new marks on me I do know one day that things will start to change for the better Day 24, withdrawal symptoms begone! Today I wrote another letter I will never send If the kid saw me now, I wonder, would she would be proud? I am thriving on my own and there is life in me There are doubts in my mind, and these scars on my arms If I aim to redeem myself, I have to move on I have to move on I have to move on Lived on my own, I'll die alone Everyone has a death wish, and I can't atone Try all I might, there's a weight on my shoulders Cry all the time, I'll medicate when I'm older Day 27, almost a month has passed I think I'll reach my mark, there's still no scars on my arms Day 28, I'll meet my therapist today And If I still have time, I'll send these letters off Day 29, and I still feel fine I checked the news today, there was a little story From a town I grew up in, from a college I dropped out A man was found dead, hanging somewhere in the campus Self medicate, to ease the pain Self medicate, this chaos I can't take Self medicate, when everything is destroyed All these things that I feel, drown it down with a pill This blinding pain that I feel The only thing that's real The only thing that's real Lived on my own, I'll die alone Everyone has a death wish, and I can't atone Try all I might, there's a weight on my shoulders Cry all the time, I'll medicate when I'm older Day 0, I crashed and burned again Resurfacing of my own trauma, the weight of the news When I close my eyes, I can't escape that view The man that died on that tree, he was someone that I knew He was someone that I knew (Get drunk, get high, try to forget the pain) (Medication won't help you, erase the stain) (Get drunk, get high, try to forget the pain) (Medication won't help you, erase the stain) (Get drunk, get high, try to forget the pain) I can't move, I can't think (Medication won't help you, erase the stain) When the feelings hit, I feel myself begin to sink, I feel myself begin to sink! (Get drunk, get high, try to forget the pain) I can't feel, I can't see (Medication won't help you, erase the stain) If a God does exist, why does he want to punish me? To punish me! I can't move, I can't think When the feelings hit, I feel myself begin to sink, I feel myself begin to sink! I can't feel, I can't see If a God does exist, why does he want to punish me? To punish me! Lived on my own, I'll die alone Everyone has a death wish, and I can't atone Try all I might, there's a weight on my shoulders Cry all the time, I'll medicate when I'm older Lived on my own, I'll die alone Everyone has a death wish, and I can't atone Try all I might, there's a weight on my shoulders Cry all the time, I'll medicate when I'm older I need to find a way, I need to know somehow When I uncover what happened, I'll take my final bow I'll take my final bow I'll take my final bow

Holy Ghost 05:21
She wakes up in a hospital bed, the nurses whispering that her father is gone He took his life, and There's a woman, visiting her unit, she is dressed in all black A fashion fit for someone's funeral bed "Are you good?" The orphan turns away, the woman tilts her head slightly As she begins to pray Father, Mother, Holy spirit, may I Have this moment, please tell me that I am still alive And when I'm gone, will I live on? Give me a sign, cause I saw nothing On the other side Nothing, nothing, nothing On the other side Holy spirit, may I? "I wish that I was dead", she said looking at her, an apathetic mess Her eyes staring through her "I know the feeling kid," a glimpse of cuts on her wrist, the orphan looks away Her eyes beginning to mist She looks at her again, "Can I say a prayer?" The only thing she knew The only thing she learned to see There's a God above, who doesn't care for you, there's a God above us all And he won't tell us the truth Father, Mother, Holy spirit, may I Have this moment, please tell me that I am still alive And when I'm gone, will I live on? Give me a sign, cause I saw nothing On the other side Nothing, nothing, nothing On the other side Holy spirit, may I? Is there heaven when we die? Cause I no longer want to be here In this hell, this hell, we call Earth Is this purgatory, or am I going insane? To want death over all, to want to end this pain Alone and outcast, I no longer know my name When the spirits take me, I will no longer be afraid I will no longer be afraid Father, Mother, may I May I die? Father, Mother, may I And when I'm gone, will I live on? Give me a sign, cause I saw nothing On the other side Nothing, nothing, nothing On the other side Holy spirit, may I die? After a silence passed, the woman glanced at her "I know who killed your Father. I know he can be avenged" There's a God above, who doesn't care for you But there are Gods among us, and they won't tell us the truth

"On Earth as it is in heaven", he types out Chat reacts, the crowd's going wild now Stream heaven, your God's live and online! In a digital world, your propaganda's on time On the screen, he smiles back, his beautiful face The boy with pale skin grins, his audience in place "How we feeling today? I'm feeling so swell" "Blessed light upon me, you will feel as well" Chat flows up, "Praise be you" flooding into your screen "But I am not a god, I am just your average being" Praise be thy name! All it takes Is just your face, to lead the war! Kill for your faith! All at stake To win the war, To win the war! Impossible odds, killed by science Magic throbs, in holy defiance Just a child, he is awake Our saviour comes through noncompliance And the chat goes wild, there's no stopping them now It is an echo chamber, there is no reasoning how Like an ant to it's queen, they look above to him And like a man with a view, he doesn't care for it "We have a guest today" The camera turns to intruders A woman and her daughter, the latter shaking in fear "What shall we do with them?" The chat reacts accordingly "Let's play a game then, shall we?" His eyes gaze piercingly through Praise be thy name! All it takes Is just your face, to lead the war! Kill for your faith! All at stake To win the war, To win the war! Impossible odds, killed by science Magic throbs, in holy defiance Just a child, he is awake Our saviour comes through noncompliance There's a battle for freedom, in a battle for life Choose your leader they said, with a gun and a knife Given no choice to argue, they chose a figurehead But when the game goes too far, who takes the blame for the fallen? Anti-science, anti-pills, anti-medicine When the government fails, who will be your God? Anti-logic, anti-compromise, no supervision When the war has begun, who will save you now? Who will save you now? Praise be thy name! All it takes Is just your face, to lead the war! Kill for your faith! All at stake To win the war, To win the war! Impossible odds, killed by science Magic throbs, in holy defiance Just a child, he is awake Our saviour comes through noncompliance Violence, humanity His eyes are empty as his gaze pierces through to you If there is one thing we know, it's that we never will know "To model Earth as it will be in Heaven"

There's a gun to their heads, and computer screens Video games on the console, some avatars A giant bull on the screen, and a maze with white walls Only thing on the title, 'The Minotaur' "Get ready to run" a voice belows from their speakers Chat is revving up for murder and a death scene Shaky hands on the keyboard "...What happens if we win?" The final battle begins Who will be left standing? A mother or a god Who will live through the challenge, the worthy one! Is there life beyond belief, beyond sacrifice? Is there's something on the other side, when I die! Either eaten alive, or left to rot in a maze If the minotaur's a god, why's he stuck in this place? There's no heaven with freedom, no justice without war There is nothing on the other side, nothing at all! The rules are simple, escape from the minotaur In a white-walled maze, there is no view of the exit "No one's ever made it out of here alive, so" "There's no chance you will win, you will not survive" "Everyone must die, only one left standing" "If you find the exit first, you are free to go" "But if I find you before that, I will eat you alive" "Let the games begin" Who will be left standing? A mother or a god Who will live through the challenge, the worthy one! Is there life beyond belief, beyond sacrifice? Is there's something on the other side, when I die! Either eaten alive, or left to rot in a maze If the minotaur's a god, why's he stuck in this place? There's no heaven with freedom, no justice without war There is nothing on the other side, nothing at all! Can you escape the wrath of the minotaur? Will you destroy a God that has given you life? There is only so much that a kid can take There is only death in its wake Will you escape the wrath of the minotaur? As you witness a God, within all his grace The souls of the forgotten, lay in waste There is only so much that a kid can fake Can they escape the wrath of the minotaur? Know there is no God, he doesn't walk among us There is only so much that a kid can take There is only so much that a kid can hate Determination to live, and the cunning to survive Think for yourself, and live out your life Indoctrinated by a god that looks down on you Restricted by his beliefs, of which there is no proof! The final battle ends Who will be left standing? A child or a god Who will live through the challenge, the worthy one! Is there life beyond belief, beyond sacrifice? Is there's something on the other side, when I die! Either eaten alive, or left to rot in a maze If the minotaur's a god, why's he stuck in this place? There's no heaven with freedom, no justice without war There is nothing on the other side, nothing at all! Nothing at all! Nothing at all

I imagine it's like sleeping, a dreamless lullaby I imagine it's a long rest, when we have to say goodbye I don't have all the answers, I don't have a reason why But when we slip into darkness, I would like to know Is there something on the other side, when we die? Is there nothing there, have we always been right? If a heaven exists, and there's a God above us Then what happens to the people who see hell at night? Is there a god above, will we see eye to eye? When we meet our makers, what happens when we die? What happens when we die? I want to live, I want to try to stay alive Fate won't bring us down, though I want to cry! We don't live to die! I never asked to be born, I never asked for this life For the hardships it's caused, I wouldn't know if it's worth Trying to stay alive, trying to fight this endless sleep All I wanted was rest, but all it wanted was me! When did I lose my way, to no longer fear the reaper? To feel it's scythe on my throat, and yet continue to breathe 'Cause when I think of death, I think of sweet release And what I wanted to live for, I no longer remember But as the clock strikes 12, another dawn is approaching To rest in peace, I'll find another reason to live Is there a god above, will we see eye to eye? When we meet our makers, what happens when we die? What happens when we die? I want to live, I want to try to stay alive Fate won't bring us down, though I want to cry! We don't live to die! Father, Mother, may I May I die? May I die? (To kill god, to kill god, to kill, kill!) (To kill god, to kill god, to kill, kill!) (I can't move, I can't think) (When the feelings hit, I feel myself begin to sink, I feel myself begin to sink!) (I can't feel, I can't see) (If a God does exist, why does he want to punish me, to punish me!) To live, to die, I want to try To stay alive, I still have yet to die, to die! To live, to die, I want to try To stay alive, I still don't want to die! Is there a god above, will we see eye to eye? When we meet our makers, what happens when we die? What happens when we die? I want to live, I want to try to stay alive Fate won't bring us down, though I want to cry! We don't live to die! To live, to die, I want to try To stay alive, I still have yet to die, to die! To live, to die, I want to try To stay alive, I still don't want to die! But as the clock strikes 12, another dawn is approaching To rest in peace, I'll find another reason to live I'll find another reason to live
