Condemned 02:47
The cold embrace of death surrounds my aching bones, Torturing me as I beg for someone to end this pain. I sought salvation but in the end I found suffering. Releasing the hatred that I buried, Deep inside my soul. Condemned, to live my life in darkness, Condemned to suffer I must be punished. I'll pay the price for believing this fucking lie, I'll pay the price, for being the fucking anti christ. Carve my sins into my skin, One by one. So I can bask in the essence, Of my failure. So leave me for the crows to feed upon, Let them end this pain, it just goes on and on. Leave me for the fucking crows. This is the confession of a man on death row.

Blinded by the incandescent glow of annihilation, mankind gives in to regret. The sun, blackened by the shadows of a thousands missiles, reminding humans of the darkness in death. The wind settles as we take our final breath. The ground beneath us begins to shake. As the sirens begin to sing and the whole world gathers round, to bare witness as the men that led us strike us down. Behold the remnants of a blood diamond encrusted crown. Vermin exterminated from their breeding grounds. Left to wither away in the ashes of a forgotten realm. Fuelled by blood lust and greed It was only a matter of time before this day came. We claim to have acted in the name of a saviour, but we acted in vein. You bit the hand that fed you. Behold the hand that fed you.

Worship man, Worship progress, Refuse to live with shackles bound by tyrants. Silence heralds, I am the devil. And I've come to free mankind from this violent masquerade I am freedom. I am the forbidden fruit of the holy tree. And I have come to set you free. Denounce your rulers, Walk this earth free, Spread my word To those who cling to the idea of immortality. Hear my truth There is no need for interpretation Hear my truth Preservation of the ground beneath our only salvation. Salvation will be found in the destruction of indoctrination. I saw the lies, the manipulation. Born to die in a defective nation. I saw the lies, the manipulation. Born to die, in hope of awakening, in a superior civilisation. This is the end of false prophecies This is the end of false gods.

Force Fed 03:05
They force feed us propaganda In an effort to fill us with hatred. They spread fear across the lands, Recruiting the misinformed ads their puppets. I won't be deceived by these bastards. I will fight and avert cataclysm. Destruction Imminent As devastation begins. They drop their bombs on the innocent. To encourage extremest nature, Then they build their walls up to disguise them, As the victims of the terror they've created. Do you see it now, The ones in power have segregated us. Do you see it now The ones in power plan to eliminate us. Painting our brothers, As our sworn enemies. To divert attention, From what is happening. They are the victims Of a corrupt society. Children conscripted, Stricken with poverty. Sworn into battle, Against our so called democracy Now with this noose wrapped round your neck as if your truly free. But I will not bear witness as mankind falls. Victim to power hungry criminals, They are the enemy that all mankind face. Standing together is our only shot at peace. We are the products of our own indecency Left to choke on the scent of misery. Undeserving of this land we reap. We are the parasitic casualties.

Suffer 02:32

Perish, in the hands of god. Relinquish all motivation. Hell hath spoken I am the chosen one. The bringer of your execution. Covered in the blood of the men I lay to rest, The prophets I slaughter guide me on my way. As I walk upon their chests, Their last breath escapes them. As I walk upon their chests, I find I am at peace again. One by one men of god challenge me, And I strike them down with no remorse, For I fear the darkness that follows death, But they do not fear death at all. So I pound their skulls against the ground, And ask them if they've felt their gods touch. They simply plead for his mercy, So their fucking skulls I crush. I don't want to die, And I do not wish to live again. I just want to set the score straight, And prove that death is the end.

Denouement 03:19
I've tried to remain content before, But I've seen too much blood to ignore. The smell of death still lay dormant, The screams of the weak still echo at night. Victims of war laid to rest, Lest we forget. Clouded by ignorance, Failing to learn from our fallacies. They've all died in vain, Their names will fade. They will die in vain, You must have forgotten. I see their faces in the darkness, They plead for us to change our ways, Guided by apparitions of the forgotten. I was sent to save our race. I've seen first hand the suffering, But until this moment my eyes were closed. For I never thought it would come to the day, Where I would stand at the brink of annihilation. But I won't die in vain, And my name won't fade. No I won't die in vain. Or be forgotten. Look beyond the veil, Into those cloudy eyes, Stare into your future. Do you see your demise? Will you watch as your words destroyed? Raped and pillaged by the men in control, I won't become a victim or a pawn, To a system that is fundamentally flawed. Will you die in vain, As your name fades? Will you die in vain, Or be forgotten?
