Left for Dead

So caught up in yourself
And how this makes you feel
You won't recognize me
If I'm not your ideal
If I am just a tool
A way to build your pride
I'll be your worst mistake
The scandal that you hide
Where are you now?
I called you out
You left me for dead
Inside my broken head
Did you forget my heart?
Are you deaf to my call?
Must I spell it all out
Before you care at all?
You mock me just to hide
A grudge you justify
Still unwilling to see
The mark you left inside
Where are you now?
I called you out
You left me for dead
Inside my broken head

Born for Death
04:08

Enemies like familiar friends
These poisoned thoughts creeping inside
I welcome them to help themselves
Peace and hope stolen in the night
I have no fear this time
Life would be in vain
I have no one to lose
And nothing to gain
Falling to a world without a sun
Watching as the light above me fades
I know my final hour has come
I was only born for death to claim
Others may mourn as I pass
But no tear will be shed by me
Always feeling so far away
From all the people around me
I have no fear this time
Life would be in vain
I have no one to lose
And nothing to gain
Falling to a world without a sun
Watching as the light above me fades
I know my final hour has come
I was only born for death to claim
The candle will be blown out
The flame will be extinguished
Falling to a world without a sun
Watching as the light above me fades
I know my final hour has come
I was only born for death to claim

Faith
03:35
|

Taking your pills
Prevent disease
Keep the formula
To find joy and peace
Ask and receive
Knock at the door
Yet you have nothing
You're on your knees for
Off’ring up my prayers
Is it my lack of faith?
Still the blind don't see
Despite all your words
Your faith, your medicine
Cannot save my life
Build your cities
Never to fall
Vote for your leader
He will save you all
Build up your wall
Lock up your doors
Yet you can never
Protect what is yours
Off’ring up my prayers
Is it my lack of faith?
Still the blind don't see
Despite all your words
Your faith, your medicine
Cannot save my life

T'ward the Cross
02:05
|

Tread the pathway of death
T’ward the promise of light
To a land once foretold
Yet never in sight
In the valley of dark
Where no living have trod
In the clamour of demons
Hear the still voice of God
Walk the windings of doubt
Midst the dense mist of fear
While the words of you masters
Echo in your ears
In the twilight of hope
You will draw forth a sword
In the devil’s embrace
Find the peace of your Lord
I have no doubt of this
I was meant for this road
No healer or preacher
May lighten my load
My compass is steady
And my valour is strong
For my cross lies before me
And my God stands beyond

My Scapegoat
04:32
|
|||
I am the flames of hell, licking at your feet
I am the guilt you know will never leave
My name is big brother, posing as Father,
If I am god, submit to the slaughter
I’m venom in your skin, burning from within
I hold the keys, but I won’t let you in
If Jesus is shepherd, I’m closing the gate
If God is love, I am self-righteous hate
We are not the same
You are the scapegoat I needed to condemn
We are not the same
You are the off'ring to take away my sin
My scapegoat
Protector of the church, if Jesus returns
For our safety, He must be stoned or burned
If you wanted the truth, I will disappoint
True honesty, depends on vantage point
I am the violent priest, ordained from above
I’ll slit your throat; I’ll drain out all your blood
The smell of your burning will appease my god
Enabling me, to justify my flaws
I’m venom in your skin, burning from within
I hold the keys, but I won’t let you in
If Jesus is shepherd, I’m closing the gate
If God is love, I am self-righteous hate
We are not the same
You are the scapegoat I needed to condemn
We are not the same
You are the off'ring to take away my sin
Repetition of centuries
Deliver us from enemies
Regurgitated memories
Complete the rite, God must be pleased
We are not the same
My scapegoat
