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
04:31
|
|||
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

Self Medicate
05:13
|
|||
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"

Minotaur's Wrath
03:52
|
|||
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

What Happens When We Die
04:16
|
|||
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
