Track Name: Snake Oil
What a guilt free way to begin
No contemplation, or fear for the sin
open wide, out spill the lies
you candy coat the devil inside
twist it up, distorting the truth
choke the facts, put the world under foot
reality might never be fine
but silver tongues make the big lies shine

chorus: with the slickest slight of the hand
you wave your wand, and up come the dead
subtle words may blind most eyes
but I can see the trick through the disguise
who could swallow the lies that you speak
as it turns out, everybody
you pave your way when you play on fear
you charlatan, hypocrite cheater

wily smiles translate your deceit
hiss pleasantries through clenched teeth
the demagogue uses speech as an axe
to root up, to split and attack
broken down on the receiving end
battered without a hope of defense
the true horror is magnified
no pity for their terrified cries

chorus

you have got to be joking with me
all your half truths add up to nothing
paint a picture of the world gone to shit
tear it down, and never up lift

I, I can't believe it
You think you have me fooled
But every machination has become so clear
you try to take my strength
you try to drain my will
through propaganda and fear

chorus
Track Name: Grind
Expiration, our extinction
Raze the world
Watch me grin
Armageddon, my pleasure
Time's progress comes to an end
For too long
we've been disease
Wallow in madness
Shit where we eat

Chorus
So long for now
You putrid waste
be forgotten, and with you your shame
Let the world drown amongst the flames
No tears shed, end of the game

A gruesome orgy
Of blood and guts
a broken record
feel the disgust
turn the lights off
bring on the end
suicidal
we will not bend
our rise to power
domination
watch from our throne room
life turn to dust
the storm is coming, say your goodbyes
wipe the slate clean
peace will preside

chorus
Track Name: Tightrope
I walk along the blade of a knife
Always in balance and ready to fight
I see temptation, the walls closing in
Prepared to travel the narrow path
The world outside wants to topple me
Demoralize and undermine my beliefs
I keep my focus, I stay the course
I stand upright against opposing force

No, I will always explode
Not stay my hand to my foes
Rise until I can rise no more
Not hide, falter or cower

Break through the walls that confine me
Unchain myself from mental boundaries
Trial and error the foundation of strength
A hardened edge that will never break
The world outside wants to topple me
Demoralize and undermine my beliefs
I keep my focus, I stay the course
I stand upright against opposing force

Evil bastards will grind you down
Never surrender
hold your ground
Put on the blinders
a single mind
struggle forward
do not decline
time after time
I made mistakes
out of the chaos
I found my strength
carry on
bear the cross
struggle forward
never stop
Track Name: Pale Skies
Knocked down
blasted out
caught off guard, there was no sound
undone by my own device
suspended motion, i'm put on ice
i've felt alive on cold dark nights
and seen the chill in a good friends eyes
i've felt alone when i've been cut loose
and felt the grip of the hangman's noose

Driving home under a pale eyed sky
my thoughts turn to my place in this life
a house built on shifting sands
I try to hold it but it will not sand
my world is melting away
I can't stop it
I can't watch it
I try to stand up proud
but all i can think about is, "what now?"

You can't break me
You won't take me
You can't fool me
You thought me blind, but now I see x 2
Track Name: Breaker
Everyday, straight ahead
Total shutdown of the thought process
Burn, burn out my eyes
without my sight I won't have to face life
my reality is the setting of concrete
to break through the bonds
I only have to move my feet

Chorus:
the walls of hell are steep
I see you devil, now get behind me
Breaker-carry the weight
Breaker-crush the deceit
The hollow cry of lamentation
False prophets trip through my mind
Blackout from the pain inside
Continue on through space and time

When the gavel crashes down
I'll be called to pay the penalty
Run-keep running away
before judgment is passed on me
I've got to kick and flutter
Rebound and dive for cover
My sweet escape will be
Like the open arms of a lover

chorus
Track Name: Moon's Blood
Mother I beg of thee
Hide me from the stranger's face
Hide me from the reaper's scythe
That cuts to take my life

Rise or fall, I see through it all

Across the fields of war
The ancient crow takes flight
Upon the hills of dead
He finds his feast tonight

Sink or swim, I'll find my end

I tell you this, all men must die
I tell you this, all men meet death

Endless life is hopeless
Find your rest among the

I tell you this, all men must die

Endless life is hopeless
find your rest among the dead

Before the master's throne
Surrender all you are
There is no way to hide
No one to hear your cries
All men must pay his price
All men were born to die

Endless life is hopeless
Find your rest among the dead

I seek your caress
A place to find my rest
Before the master's throne
Open your servant's throat
