Effigy Of Madness 04:37
lyrics

Slipping down the spiral, the whole world painted black Devoured by the darkness, slipping through the cracks Descending into chaos, damaged and deranged Here alone in my own hell I drive myself insane I hear a million voices, but none i recognise I hear them sneer, I hear them laugh, I even hear them cry Within this shell, this prison cell that doesn't have a key Here alone all on my own in my insanity And the madness calls to me It calls my name Sliding ever deeper, no end to the descent Nerves have lost all feeling, numb and nonchalant Anxiety takes over, can't breathe, the air is thin I suffocate in solitude while the walls are closing in Befriended by a shadow, but I don't know it's name Me and me, we both agree that I have gone insane Deafened by the screaming, my own and in my head Welcome to my nightmare, where I dream that I am dead And the madness calls to me It calls my name It knows my name LEAD SOLO – Goss And the madness calls to me It calls me friend I hear the madness calling me It knows my name

New World Disorder 04:47
lyrics

Another day, another human tragedy Another product of the elitist monopoly Masked in deception, a contrived and elaborate ruse Hypnotized by media lies into dancing to their tune See the soldiers marching off to war A game of chess where we've become the pawns Desensitize to divide and conquer The blood is on our hands LEAD SOLO - Goss Another fabricated human atrocity Force-fed a diet of bullshit to justify their war machine A lethal cocktail, of deception and deceit Enslaving the masses in debt and defeat See the soldiers marching off to war A game of chess where we've become the pawns Desensitize to divide and conquer The blood is on our hands Drilled in... to the people's minds Blindfolds... pulled over our eyes Covert... clock and dagger disguise Profit... from innocent lives This blood... on our hand it stains This world... is a place that we made Society... devolves and decays The dollar signs... marking our graves LEAD SOLO - Kristen Another day, another stain on humanity The wicked rich of the west bank on anarchy Enslaved in silence in the name of security New world disorder's here, their reign of tyranny See the soldiers marching off to war A game of chess where we've become the pawns Desensitize to divide and conquer The blood is on our hands

Cold Blood 04:46
lyrics
buy track
Drugged and sedated, bound and violated Jealousy's toll as the camera rolls and a life is taken... Defiled unconscious, and anesthestised Ruled a tragic accident and buried in lies... In lies... Sex, lies and videotape Cold blood Their innocence is raped Expired Ripped from a world once safe Victims of a mind depraved... Freedom subverted, and innocence perverted Breaths ceased by induced sleep, and the body dismembered... Kidnapped and brutalised, intoxicated and sodomised Tortured like a slave in the dark for days Then left on the roadside... Decayed... Sex, lies and videotape Cold blood Their innocence is raped Expired Ripped from a world once safe Victims of a mind depraved... LEAD SOLO - Kristen Sex, lies and videotape Cold blood Their innocence is raped Expired Ripped from a world once safe Victims of a mind depraved...

Evelyn 04:51
lyrics

Nineteen forty-seven, the first day of may She left this world in the most tragic of ways Fatal inertia, a thousand foot fall Untimely end for her wounded soul Over the railing of the floor eighty-six To be forgotten, to never be missed Engaged to marry, but never to be Falling forever, into eternity Into her coffin, cadillac limosine United nations, parked on thirty-fourth street Within her hand, clutched a necklace of pearls Finally at peace, no longer one with this world Sweetly composed in the embrace of death Enshrined in beauty as she forever rests The crowd it gathers, the witnesses weep In a bed of twisted steel she finally sleeps

Streets Of Violence 04:47
lyrics

They've pulled the triggers, lit the powder keg Stolen innocence from this world, tore democracy to shreds Still nothing changes, sign of our times An eye for an eye that's left the whole world fucking blind Time has come for a revolution This time we've come for retribution Too long, the voice of the people silenced Rebellion burns in the streets of violence The rampant chaos, under lawless rule They stoked the fires of defiance, with acts so cruel Silence the protests, ignore the pleas Bring civil unrest, and their own system crumbling to it's knees Time has come for a revolution This time we've come for retribution Too long, the voice of the people silenced Rebellion burns in the streets of violence LEAD SOLO - Kristen LEAD SOLO - Goss LEAD SOLO - Kristen LEAD SOLO - Goss LEAD SOLO - Kristen LEAD SOLO - Goss But now our voices, deafen righteous ears And the beaten and broken, united without fear We stand in union, against kings without crowns We the people rise up and burn their whole world to the ground Time has come for a revolution This time we've come for retribution Too long, the voice of the people silenced Rebellion burns in the streets of violence

My Name Is Death 04:54
lyrics

Prophecised for ages, the final days of man Sent forth to expunge the wicked, by our maker's hand The lamb of god breaks the sacred seal Usher in the end, hell itself revealed Fear heeded doctrine, inked in sin Time turns the pages, armageddon begins Hell cries, the skies lacerated Mankind, condemned to the scythe Hear the thunder of my steel hooves My name is death, on a pale horse i ride This final chapter, of the lord's decree The holy rapture, and my killing spree Hear the seven trumpets sounding on the wind Foretold in scripture of the pages within No one left to read it when the cover's closed In a sea of blood, i leave the world disposed Hell cries, the skies lacerated Mankind, condemned to the scythe Hear the thunder of my steel hooves My name is death, on a pale horse i ride Revelations 6:7 “and when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, 'come and see.'” Revelations 6:8 “and i looked, and behold a pale horse... And his name that sat on him... was death.” LEAD SOLO - Kristen LEAD SOLO - Goss Your empires crumble, as the pages burn And into hades, your souls interred Banish the pagan souls to eternal flames Stand before the judgement of the lord's disdain Succumb to his will, in god you trust Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Hell cries, the skies lacerated Mankind, condemned to the scythe Hear the thunder of my steel hooves My name is death, on a pale horse i ride On a pale horse I ride...

Shadow 04:46
lyrics

Lost... can't find your way You've passed the point of no return Seduced... been led astray No turning back as the bridges burn Desire... to satisfy your need Always searching for a greater high Denied... insatiated greed Watch as the world that you love dies As the world that you love dies... Close your eyes as the world fades to black Event horizon, there's no coming back Self destruction, day after day Become a shadow as you fade away Stare... into the mirror's gaze Intake the vile that steals reality Dust... caked to the razor blade Obey the masters of your insanity Choice... life of contempt You know that you're fucked but you won't give it up Begin... downward descent I wish you luck 'cause I won't be there at the end Because I won't be there at the end... Close your eyes as the world fades to black Event horizon, there's no coming back Self destruction, day after day Become a shadow as you fade away As you fade away... LEAD SOLO - Kristen LEAD SOLO - Goss Close your eyes as the world fades to black Event horizon, there's no coming back Self destruction, day after day Become a shadow as you fade away

Dead Dreams 06:57
lyrics
buy track
My embrace, your kiss The taste of poison on your lust-laced lips Blackened shadows, draped in flame The silent whisper of you calling my name Your seduction, my desire Your silhouette pulled me into the fire A spider's web, weaved of conceit Bound in the binds of a widow's deceit Words of venom, acts of spite Danced with the devil on the edge of a knife My contempt, your distain We blurred the line between pleasure and pain And in the silence, where once you screamed Our greatest nightmare, the death of our dreams And through the wreckage, I sift alone Through the ruins of a place I called home Unforgiven A stolen piece of me Entomb the memories bury our dead dreams Memories buried, in sands of time Sentenced to life, to a prison inside The dust it settles, the horror fades A debt you owe for the penance i paid And as the days, turned into years Infected everything that I once held dear And now forever, I curse your name The broken pieces of me that remain Unforgiven A stolen piece of me Entomb the memories Bury our dead dreams Dead dreams Bury our dead dreams ALL LEAD SOLOS - Kristen
