Thy Enemy 04:42
Life denied Betrayed with your own lies Replicate the hatred of a father now an only son Manipulation of the words used as a smoking gun Try pay the price for innocence judged as a guilty crime Again the system fails us always murdering The child survived Without the feeling of this anger growing deep inside Take away another feeling of dependency Regret the day you threw away all of my dignity Now we've lost All of the trust in your words Just deserves, taken from us Tables Turn These indications pointing to another place and time To where the darkness faded all of my emotions died This emptiness accompanies this destiny of mine No peaceful death will come for you The tables turn Illusions confused reality When will they become the art of thy enemy All of my feelings are numb Now the war is over Liberate ourselves Betrayal, The tables Are turned around I burn the crown, you and your false royalty Time divides Standards of our dignity Now stand down This throne is taken in vein We won't betray ourselves We won't deny you We won't pretend your right Trapped in denial

Burn my eyes out For all the sins I've seen and hatred I've shown You never meant to be my only answer Eradication The meaning of this life Your suffering inside These feelings try to haunt me Blinded horror and torment Broken pieces failure They all manipulate The gun is in your mouth with My fingers on the trigger Your empty soul less life will fade away in time If you think I've forgotten The torments weakened my mind Don't pretend this bullet's meant to make you bleed And now the blood has gone your body is cold The sheet pulled over your lifeless eyes Each time I tried You failed me Paint me a picture a life in submission These guilty pleas, made with the best intention Recreate, the meaning of deception Plead insanity We plead insanity If you think I've forgotten The torments weakened my mind Don't pretend this bullet's meant to make you bleed And now the blood has gone your body is cold The sheet pulled over your eyes Are you proud of me now Are you proud of who I am Why not now when I m found proving ground Are you proud The people we've forgotten Have all but fallen behind You bleed

So fed up with this shit The shattered mirror can't look back at itself Your self Indulgence And your lack of respect So paranoid It makes everyone a victim We won't forgive you Don't tell me That you are sorry It's not worth it How can we waste all our time Never a moment for ourselves to reflect Humiliation fueled by years of regret Ashamed, awkward and embarrassed the same This point of view is formed by paranoid, minds Misunderstanding how to prove your words, right I can t escape this place The walls around me fall The structure crumbles Your foundation is dust I will prevail I will prevail

Reprieve 04:33
Deluded beliefs bring tragic dismay Giving nothing but reasons and failure These premonitions are all put to rest Your one god has failed Cleansing the blood Faultless demise Lay down, your Weapons of choice Pure thoughts, gone Left you alone I own you There is nothing worth the blood that we've shed For the lands that we can not control Raping the planet we build our existence Your fucked existence Fuck your religion The extinction Of our own kind I'm alive I'm breathing But I am not existing I'm alive I'm breathing Show me what life's meant to be Show me what life's meant to be What life's meant to be Waking up, forget dreaming Nothing left it's all been done Will we know the pain I'm bleeding I'm bleeding Fuck your religion The extinction Of our own kind I'm alive I'm breathing But I am not existing I'm alive I'm breathing Show me what life's meant to be

Nothing Left 04:00
Make up for the lack of reason I tried to compromise I can't forget that the shit that you fed me Had been draped in lies This circle is never ending It's been broken before I don't give a fuck anymore I'm sick of trying Every day is the same old shit Don't try to judge me Don't try to think i will never regret There is nothing left This circle is never ending It's been broken before I don't give a fuck anymore I'm sick of trying Now I am In deceit I'll break I can't just back down I'll break On your knees to prey for salvation Back down It's set in concrete And cast in stone There's nothing left Don't try to judge me I can't just back down
