Prelude 01:39
2.
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

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
5.
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
