Burn!

You're living for one thing 
Did you come this far to let life live you 
and betray your heart disconnected... 
By the doubt in your head you'be been scarred by failure but never again 

In this life you only get one chance at one thing 
Trust in who you are and who you're becoming
cause when you thought life had come undone 
you crush all those who spit in your face cause your time has...

Your time has come 
Your time has come (your time has come to) 
Time has come for you to 

Burn! 

The time has come for you 
The time for all of us to 
The time has come for you 
To burn everyone and everything 
that said you were nothing 
(x2)

They said you were nothing til they made you who 
you are destroy those lies cause you've earned these scars 
Disrespected... time after time friend lied to and stepped on 
but never again 

Only you and you alone choose your path in life 
You better fight cause there's nowhere to hide 
No escape and nowhere to run 
No turning back now cause your time has...

Your time has come 
Your time has come (your time has come to) 
Time has come for you to

BURN! 

Your time has come for you 
The time for all of us to 
The time has come for you 
To burn everyone and everything 
that said you were nothing...
(x2) 

Down!

Burn them to the ground 

Burn!
Burn!
Burn!

Burn them to the ground
Burn them to... 

Burn!

Burn! Your Time has come for you
Burn! The time for all of as to
Burn! The time has come for you
To burn everyone and everything
that said you were nothing.
You have everything
but you're blind to see the better way out
I'd do anything but lie to make you see there's hope for you now

Cuz at this place you know it's only a matter of time
It's only a matter of time
before those walls you built begin caving in
You know it's only a matter of time
'til self-destruction is your dearest friend
Your dearest friend

Now there's nothing I can do
to close your wounds or open your eyes to life
And there's nothing I can say
to erase those days
You've gotta deal with the hate inside

I see you leaving this world behind

You have everything
but you`re blind to see the better way out
I`d do anything but lie to make you see there`s hope for you now

Cuz at this place you know it's only a matter of time
It's only a matter of time
before those walls you built begin caving in
You know it's only a matter of time
'til self-destruction is your dearest friend
Your dearest friend

Now there's nothing I can do
to close your wounds or open your eyes to life
And there's nothing I can say
to erase those days
You've gotta deal with the hate inside
Now there's nothing I can do
to close your wounds or open your eyes to life
And there's nothing I can say
to kill the pain

You`re leaving this world behind

I see you leaving this world behind

I see you leaving this world behind

I see you leaving this world behind

Now there's nothing I can do
to close your wounds or open your eyes to life
And there's nothing I can say
to kill the pain

You`re leaving this world behind

Now there's nothing I can do
to close my wounds with memories left behind
And there's nothing I can say
to reverse this day or bring you back to life

I see you leaving this world behind!
Hate-I'll see hate 'til I breathe my last words
Pain-There's no pain in what you call honor

And it's pathetic that you'll die the way you lived
With no heart, no shame and nothing to show for yourself
I know you better than you know yourself (I do)

So now speak the truth
And if you ever say my name
Speak the truth

Hate-I'll see hate 'til I breathe my last words
Pain-There's no pain in what you call honor

And did you think that for a single second I would let the scume of the earth up and bury my words in the ground?
Your time is up and you're going down (You knew)

So now speak the truth
And if you ever say my name
Speak the truth
Got what you wanted from my name?

Get up

Starved for attention you're mocking my name
So quick to judge me but not to my faCe
Starved for attention you leech off my name
Hollow in your heart from birth to the grave

To the grave
Crucify me for a lie
While You cut another line to breathe
Holy roller, poster child for fear and insecurity

Well, nothing is holy and nothing is sacred
They´ll cut to the bone to get under your skin
I´ve stolen, I´ve lied, I´ve done my time,
But I won´t pay for your sin

You don´t have to bow your head in shame
´Cause I can see right through you and I know that you have felt that way
Never will I bow my head in shame
I live this life with no regret, a lesson for you in respect

Sermon of hate spoken between a smile and words of piety
Well, I´ve got a use for you
It´s time we stuck the pig

Well, nothing is holy and nothing is sacred
They´ll cut to the bone to get under your skin
I´ve lived and died a thousand times,
But I won´t pay for your sin

You don´t have to bow your head in shame
´Cause I can see right through you and I know that you have felt that way
Never will I bow my head in shame
I live this for no one else. Save your judgement for yourself

Teeth in my tongue for far too long
I´ve watched your lechery
So let this be your requiem...
When there´s no eulogy, I´ll speak

You don´t have to bow your head in shame
´Cause I can see right through you and I know that you have felt that way
Never will I bow my head in shame
I live this life for no one else. Save your judgement for yourself.

I´ll never bow my head in shame 
All hail the god in the TV
White noise medicating
Rape and murder, holy war, nothing phases me
And now I have the only scapegoat that I need
(A modern day alibi for a life of abuse and neglect)

Hail
All Hail

Pray to the god in the TV
Eyes wide, fixed and dilated, bleed
A myriad of rich white trash, nothing phases me
It promises just what I'm longing to be

Hail, All hail your brand new religion
Hail, An old American sin (all hail)
Hail, This is the murderer of evolution
Hail, This is no way for us to live

...Now hail the god within
Hail
All Hail

Relive a warped reality
Push the syringe in and let the hours wane
Ashen eyes, catatonic, praying on our knees
To hail the god for a legion of zombies

Hail, All hail your brand new religion
Hail, An old American sin (all hail)
Hail, This is our cancer
feeding thought pollution
Hail, This is no way for us to live

Hail, All hail your brand new religion
Hail, An old American sin (all hail)
Hail, This is the murderer of evolution
Hail, This is no way to fucking live

...Now hail the god within
Hail
All Hail
Teach me how to sacrifice,
I'm told that I don't know a thing
But maybe with some time alone
we'll both learn what it means
I feel as though I owe you more
than just these words of gratitude you read
So before it ends, my friend,
I'll teach you how to (bleed)

Show me where to tread to get ahead,
I fear that I don't know the way
Cause this honesty and sincerity
has brought me only pain
Show me how to make them trust the lies
to give me what I want for free
You've got it all, now there's just one thing,
just one thing

Your soul, I'd say that it's been sold
But was it ever there?
Cold, It must be cold so far below
But keep digging, you're almost there

So long, goodbye, I can't say I wish you well
But best of luck to you in Hell
Don't speak, there is no need to drag this
through the thorns and knives
Cause now it's time we said goodbye

I've waited for so long in this prison for so long
Served my time and I managed to survive
Lied to for so long, beholden for so long
...But now it's over

So long, goodbye, I can't say I wish you well
But best of luck to you in Hell
Don't speak, there is no need to drag this
through the thorns and knives
You know it's time we said goodbye

Goodbye

So long, goodbye, I can't say I wish you well
But best of luck to you in Hell
You don't get it, it's so pathetic,
but one thing you can't deny
Is that it's time we said goodbye

Goodbye
We need a fuckin plague, a flood, a war to kill it all to cure it all 
cus every corner turned 
the scum of the earth
Fuck the gangs of middleclass suburbia, the gutter punks, their prozac medicated parents too strung out to give a shit 

Where did we go wrong? How in the hell did it come to this?
You're pissin in the wind if you think it can be fixed because I'll tell you what we really need…

Deliverance 
Go to your gods, beg for 
Deliverance from the scum of the earth

Let the locust swarm, allow the jaws of earth to swallow us alive Baptize me in the blood of scum for rebirth 
If I see another pedophile priest released, 
a hipster glam rock wannabe, a cop shooting an unarmed teen, 
I'll carve my eyes out with a stick

Where did we go wrong? How in the hell did it come to this?
You're pissin in the wind if you think it can be fixed because I'll tell you what we fucking need…

Deliverance 
Go to your gods plea for 
Deliverance
And in your prayers beg for
Deliverance
Our only chance is
Deliverance
from the scum of the earth

Deliverance…deliver us from the scum of the earth
End it all
The hollow voice behind your eyes
Embracing you
To numb the pain and paralyze
When no one cared, I was there,
I held your hand throughout the years
It always has and will be you and...

I, suicide
The blade between you and life
I, suicide
The gun inside a mouth of lies
I, suicide
Praise me cause you´ll never survive

I, I led you here and plant your faith
Pay your price
Cause nothing´s free in life but pain
I´ll feed despair with scorn and hate,
Till all your dreams are laid to waste
...laid to waste

I, suicide
The warm tears in mother´s eyes
I, suicide
The blackest angel´s wings arise
I, suicide
Praise me cause you´ll never relent till you die

I, suicide
I´ve known you all your life, it´s true
I´ve known you all your life... cause I am you
Pray for rain
To wash over the fires you made
Our mistake
Of the subsentence coursing my veins
New American Christ for the weak
Selling utopia
Doom is the price we pay

You're looking away
Ignoring the flames but you know
It's an alter of lies
It's an abomination of truth
The end of all hope
Before your reborn you must die

Reap what you've sown
And come back to life
Reap what you've sown
Give blood to a scythe
Reap what you've sown

I'll be here
Of the masses infesting the land
Salvation
As we taste the rapture a mouth full of sand
The old and new fetishism fall into line
Your coveting [as good] and say I'm a fucking saint

You're looking away
You keep looking away but you know
It's an alter of lies
It's an abomination of truth
Illusion of hope
Before your reborn you must die

Reap what you've sown
And come back to life
Reap what you've sown
Give blood to a scythe
Reap what you've sown (x2)

Call my name
And tell me when it's all over
Pray for rain
It's all you can hope for (x2)
Caught between the great mortal divide
Not quite dead but still not quite alive
Now go... into the light
But I can't tell you
The reasons why
I'll never join you there
I can't face this hell alone
Spiraling through This Continuum

Cheating death ain't what it used to be
Agony is all that's left of me
Now go... so far away
Cause I can't bear this
Another day
I'll never join you there
I can't face this hell alone
Spiraling through This Continuum

Time has taken all I've known
Smothering the life I used to love
All I've got is time... Spiraling
I can't face this hell alone
Spiraling through This Continuum

Time has taken all I've known
Smothering the life I used to love
In This Continuum
