Jealousy's an ugly word, but you don't seem to care
Converse behind my back, but now I'm here
Need no one to comply with me though everyone that I defeat
Don't need you, fuck camaraderie, this rage will never go away

Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (You can't help me)
One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight till the end (I won't help you)
I can't trust anyone, see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, it's sorrow that feeds your lies

You're on my back when the water gets too deep for you to breathe
A crutch for you that won't always be there
Hide in the dark another day, the fear in you is here to stay
So keep the fuck away from me and learn to trust the words I say

Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (You can't help me)
One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight till the end (I won't help you)
I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time
It's sorrow that feeds your lies

Run from me before I tear you down (Be afraid)
You chose the wrong side (It feels so right)
I won't help you, let you rot away (Despise what you say)
Run towards the light exposing your soul (We won't be there by your side)

Salvation's dying (Somebody's crying)
We're all gone in the end
Sweet child we'll miss you
So far away, far away

I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time
It's sorrow that feeds your lies

Falling away, can't buy back time
Burned it down anyways

Judul lagu : Beast And The Harlot


This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the eye round here
Look to the waters of the deep
A city of evil

There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head
A symbolic woman sits on his throne
But hatred strips her and leaves her naked
The Beast and the Harlot

She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, Myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once as mourners watch her burn
Destroyed in an hour

Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky
The Beast and the Harlot

She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great

The day has come for all us sinners
If your not a servant you'll be struck to the ground
Flee the burning, greedy city
Looking back on her to see there's nothing around
I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to Hell
You made the wrong decision and it's easy to see
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us
Your welcome to the city where your future is set forever

She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great

She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great

And we're at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man
I don't know where to begin, but I'll start with the radical leaders
Their steps we're followin'

Running, don't go back and fight, too many you'll lose
(And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood
Between the red and white and blue
But it's too deep for you to see
And everyone eventually will take the step
Cause it's in sight you take the left I'll take the right
I feel the hate you've built for me and I say pay attention baby)

As they thank the Lord, the blind can't see
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease

But it wasn't a sin, a sorry life judging every action
And as they're feeding your mind with this shit
You forget how to speak, how to ask all the questions

The business at hand tonight, make the people choose
(I see another side in you but there's not much more I can do
From on the outside looking in your government is listenin'
To push you on the story of immortal father mortal son
Give them your mind and all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself)

If they had it their way I'd burn in hell
And your future's a fuckin' disaster, can't you see?
Give them all the power and your future's in desperate trouble baby

As they thank the Lord, the blind can't see
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease

I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact you gotta make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to...
Running away from condition, I see you but you're running away from
Your scared seductive system

Most would claim I live a lie (I live a lie)
When pointing out it's easy to predict these things (Predict these things)
Every color has its side (I have my side)
They live together vote and most embrace these same dark times

Please help us, please save us
Of course they have control we're all the same
Up on the cross, crucified their problem drove the nail and let Him rot
Family and friends, it won't matter in the end I'm sure they'll understand

Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed
As I sit up here and wonder bout how you sold your mind, body and soul
Looking at the fields so green, I know this sounds obscene
I see you're living for tomorrow but decisions you have made will leave you empty

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
Like a plague fed to the brain deadly disease
I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact I've gotta make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to run

You've fallen asleep in denial
Look at the way we're dying
How it ends I'll never know
Just live your life blind like me

Keep on writing, you're just raping yourself
(Nothing can take my mind away from them)
Don't you ask about me, ask about somebody else
(Once I've fallen, there's many stories to tell)

And I can feel it, won't embrace it
It's overwhelming, how far you take it
(Stuck in a state of questioning)
And don't you tell me you know we're destined
You won't convince me, I won't listen
(Resentment building, you've put our lives on hold)

Trashed and scattered again, I'm feeling so low
You waste your breath while fucking with me, my blood is so cold
My destination is always unknown, I'll find my way there
But you god damn motherfuckers, always wasting my time

I won't be the victim, but the first to cast a stone
Sedated nights to the bar room fights, as metropolis takes its toll
And don't you try to stop me, it's a place you'll never know
Don't try to judge or take shots at me, I'll never let you seize control

Play your game and walk away, your integrity don't mean shit
Crawl on me you fuckin' parasite, and I'm gonna take you out

Label me, that's fine, I'll be somebody else
(Nothing in front of me but holes ahead)
Lie about my life, have a story to tell
(Lights went down, was on the edge and I fell)

Oh you're so insightful, let me remind you
To twist and break me, it should make you worried
(Long way to go and you're right there)
Two-faced liar, don't try and know me
Deceit brings fire, makes sure you can't breathe
(Pick at pieces of my body below)

I never bothered with all the rumors, too much garbage (all the same)
I'll stand right here (I know my destination)
Come on you falsehood deceitful liar (There's no shame)

Don't ever take my side, I know you're never right
I'll justify the means (Nothing's what it seems)
I'll stand around and fight, but there's no point tonight
I've been chained to this machine

Trashed and scattered again, I'm feeling so low
You waste your breath while fucking with me, my blood is so cold
My destination is always unknown, I'll find my way there
But god damn impostor, are you out of your mind?

I walk down these roads alone and now you're seen here
My feelings that I'm having towards you are perfectly clear
(I control this ride)
My devils appetite is tonight and now I'm alright
But you god damn motherfuckers always wasting my time

Play your game and walk away, your integrity don't mean shit
Crawl on me you fuckin' parasite, and I'm gonna take you out

I won't be the victim, but the first to cast a stone
Sedated nights to the bar room fights, as metropolis takes its toll
And don't you try to stop me, it's a place you'll never know
Don't try to judge or take shots at me, I'll never let you seize control

Don't try and get the best of me (No one can help but your own self)
City makes my body ache (Lonely, don't try and prey on me)

I feel your world dying
(Don't try and get the best of me, no one can help but your own self)
No more use in trying
(City makes my body ache, lonely, don't try and prey on me)

And my body's trashed and low
But to you I'll never show myself or what's inside
And I've seen it all before, but now settle the score
Never join your side

He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man

Caught here in a fiery blaze
I won't lose my will to stay
I tried to drive all through the night
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights

No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me

Can't you help me as I'm starting to burn (all alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

As I adjust to my new sights
The rarely tired lights will take me to new heights
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right

Mental fiction follows me, show me what it's like to be set free

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

So sorry you're not here
I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear
Now take a trip with me
But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today

Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die
We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by
Don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right

I'll make a beast out of myself
Gets rid of all the pain of being a man

Can't you help me as I'm starting to burn (all alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

So sorry you're not here
I've been tame too long my visions so unclear
Now take a trip with me
But don't be suprised when things aren't what they seem

I've known it from the start
These good ideas will tear you're brain apart
Scared but you can follow me
I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past

I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you till our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory, or just one picture

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory, or just one picture

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
Its empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trails in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

So what if I never hold you near? Or kiss your lips again?
So I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
I beg don't leave me

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone without you there
Please tell me what we have is real

Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day
(Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home

I slide, through the wasteland that's my world
My hunger takes your life, preyed on to keep me alive

Mercy's all that you need, mercy's empty in me

Can't you feel the poison rising
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite

That's right, I shed my skin tonight but my fangs are hard to hide
And you know that you're going to die

Mercy's all that you need, mercy's empty to me

Can't you feel the poison rising
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite

I can't regret, can't escape
Decisions made for me, no control
Fire that burns but never dies
Wrapped around I'll bury my fangs inside

Making my way through the night you're still in my sight
You're running away cause you know you can't hide
My instincts are cold blooded hate; to you I'm the bearer of fate
Wrong place and now the wrong time, now terror is all that you'll find

Can't you feel the poison rising
Straight to the heart of the venomous bite

Can't you feel the poison rising
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite

I can't regret, can't escape
Decisions made for me, no control
Fire that burns but never dies
Wrapped around I'll bury my fangs inside

Stay inside tonight - you're out there all alone
Vanish from my sites - venomous control
You can't make it right - my appetite has grown
Lost your final fight - no love will be shown

Stay inside tonight - you're out there all alone
Vanish from my sites - venomous control
You can't make it right - my appetite has grown
Lost your final fight - no love will be shown

My story starts the day they said "she can't be found"
The news so dark, heart stopped, I stood silent without a sound
It's over, she's finished, mother lies with your father and sister too
Cold-blooded, they suffered, shot down by the outlaws after you

Sorrow swallows my screams

Strength of the world - is on my shoulders
Strength of the world - is on my side
Strength of the world - the one true beholder
Ice in my veins - for those who've died

I've seen my family fade away
You've taken my whole life
There's nothing left to say

Avenge the dead killed all who crossed me in my path
Suicidal, I never planned on coming back
I want it, I need it, revenge is dripping from my teeth
Need nothing to feel power, and bring the killers to their knees

Nothing to lose, vengeance to gain
You know I'll never be the same
So taste my breath, I'm close behind you
So desperate on your final day

Sorrow swallows my screams

Strength of the world - is on my shoulders
Strength of the world - is on my side
Strength of the world - the one true beholder
Ice in my veins - for those who've died

I've seen my family fade away
You've taken my whole life
There's nothing left to say

Sitting in silence with heaven above me
I prayed every night by their graves
While I search for closure, I feel it no longer
I can't turn my cheek away

I stand before you, I'll sin when I have to
But now I leave your side, to avenge my family's pride

I've seen my family fade away
You've taken my whole life
There's nothing left to say

Strength of the world - is on my shoulders
Strength of the world - is on my side
Strength of the world - the one true beholder
Ice in my veins - for those who've died

So far forever now alone
A greater punishment on me has been imposed
A killer falling from the light
I'll miss my family, I'll never be alright

And thats all she wrote

Man's becoming more corrupt now - godless, wicked, cruel
The soulless man stood silenced - Mary's word rang so true
Chastisement worse than the flood, spread the world, it's all through
Don't kill the messenger girl, as if we haven't swam enough
In this life of misery

Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallow lies and swim in our own tears
A stab in the dark, but it wounded our will

We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time

We've grown into the number - six-hundred sixty-six
War breaks, a sign of the end - eternally expelled
Look to the sky for knowledge, the stars align tonight
Eclipse and heaven shall fall, now I know I've seen it all
In my life of misery

Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallow lies and swim in our own tears
A stab in the dark but it wounded our will

Dust the apple off, savour each bite
And deep inside you know Adam was right
Lust and power, indulgence, no fear
And with our sins how does this end?

We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time

As the prophet shedded light on whats to come the crowds did gather
Your time is precious they explained, no time to worry, messiahs coming
Don't go to sleep tonight darling, hold me in your arms
These will be our final days and I can't let go

Walls are falling, churches burning
Women ravaged, children crying
Flesh is tearing, some still fighting
In this world of misery

Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallow lies and swim in our own tears
A stab in the dark but it wounded our will

Dust the apple off, savour each bite
And deep inside you know Adam was right
Lust and power, indulgence, no fear
And with these sins how does this end?

We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time

Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday
But how could you go and throw it all away?
In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do

I feel it burn inside, burn in me like the rising sun
Lifted into the sky, took away the only thing I loved
I know after tonight, all your power crumbles in my arms
So don't worry, I'll be fine, when my life ends I'll leave this scar

And I fell down, I need you here
Every note and every word
Seems so hard to take
Find me, I'm desperate

A smoking gun in hand, now don't you realize what you've done
Put a bullet in his back, your hero since you were so young
How could you kill the man, who brought salvation through your pain
He must mean everything, to end it all in this shameful way

Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday
But how could you go, and throw it all away?
In my dreams it's me and you, it's there, I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do

I started here so young and helped you get along
Just did it for the love, and people healed through us
Don't live your life in vain, don't take it out on me
You're cracked, so just remember, I'm not your enemy
I don't deserve to fall this way, by a man who felt betrayed

I felt so down, now you're around to rescue me
Every note and every word, I'm listening
Sometimes problems seem too deep to take (Too hard to take)
Sometimes I cry thinking my future looks so bleak

Finally, together we were destined
I know what's best for us in the end
Someone hear me, someone stop me
Someone listen, why aren't you listening?

Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday
But how could you go and throw it all away?
In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do

In my dreams it's me and you, it's there, I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left to finish you

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun would never rise
Living another day in disguise, these feelings cant be right
Lend me your courage to stand up and fight tonight
Stand up and fight

The fighting rages on and on
To challenge me you must be strong
I'll walk your land but don't belong
Two million soldiers can't be wrong

It's no fun but I've been here before
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war
(Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)
Some are scared, others killing for fun
I shot a mother right in front of her son
(Take this from my consciousness and please erase my dreams)

Fight for honor, fight for your life, pray to God that our side is right
Though we won I still may lose, until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears, grew up so fast, where did those years go?
Memories won't let you cry unless I don't return tonight

So many soldiers on the other side
I take their live so they don't take mine
(Scared to make it out alive now, murders all I know)
Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here
I have my weapon so there's nothing to fear
(Another day, another life but nothing real to show for)

Fight for honor, fight for your life, pray to God that our side is right
Though we won I still may lose, until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears, grew up so fast where did those years go?
Memories won't let you cry unless I don't return tonight

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise
Living another day in disguise, these feelings cant be right
Lend me your courage to stand up and fight

Watching the death toll rise, wondering how I'm alive
Stranger's blood on my hands, shot all I can
There are no silent nights, watching your brothers all die
To destroy all their plans, with no thought of me
(No thought of me) No thought of me

Walk the city lonely, memories that haunt are passing by
A murderer walks your streets tonight
Forgive me for my crimes; don't forget that I was so young
Fought so scared, in the name of God and country
