His Conscience:
Step right up
Step right up
Son it’s time to entertain these hard working people
The only way you know how
Kill kill kill
They want it
They deserve it
And it’s the only thing you’ve ever been good at
What
No
Don’t want to kill no more
Then step right up to the bridge
You’ve been there before
It’s time boy
It’s time
To die die die

Grip
I’m standing at the rail
Of a bridge I’ve stood before
The water looks black from here
As my pain begins to unfold

Now would it kill instantly
Or is there pain involved
Can’t be as bad as staying
My problems never solve

I’ve walked away before
Has never done much good
Everything comes back to me
This time I knew they would

Over the rail I step
And I find my grip
For a few moments
I think about my descent

Farewell to life’s strain
Goodbye to life’s pain

I’ve tried so hard
I’ve tried hard until now
And now I must lose my grip
And begin my way down

I want to bite through my skin
I want to leap through my sin
I want to never give in

Now let my end begin
Never deny true existence
Never deny an honest death

Erased from the memories of time
Colored with the plagues of life

I’m not who I am
I’m not who I want to be
I’ll lose my grip
For everyone to see

Calling me from underneath
The image is calling me
I’m falling to this world a slave
I’m falling into my grave

I want to stop
To just get away
To find a better life
In front of me and there’s

One last time-to turn back now
I can’t get myself to
And I don’t know why
Fight for me to stay alive

For what I feel is so right
On the outside I’m losing myself
And on the inside I’m shouting out

Step to the edge and jump
Over the rail and jump

Step to the edge but I can’t do it
Staring at the pain but staring through it
Ending of my life is moving forward
Consciously I’m moving slower

Love death fight die
Love death fight die

Step to the edge and jump
Over the rail and jump

I’m not who I am
I’m not who I want to be
I’ll lose my grip
For everyone to see

Calling me from underneath
The image is taking me
I’m falling to this world a slave
I’m falling into my grave

I want to stop
To just get away
To find a better life
In front of me and there’s

One last time
To turn back now
I can’t get myself to
And I don’t know why

Fight for me to stay alive
For what I feel is so right
On the outside I’m losing myself
And on the inside I’m shouting out

Step to the edge but I can’t do it
Staring at the pain but staring through it
Ending of my life is moving forward
Consciously I’m moving slower

Love death fight die
Love death fight die

Now I begin to walk away
Climbing over the rail the other way
Now I walk away

Walk away walk away
Now I walk away
I walk away

Before the Fall

He opens his eyes this morning
To live this life of worry
He’s learned to carry all his burdens
As he begins to write his story

Slowly filling in the picture
With many different colors
He’s searching for a light
In many helpless others

And for some time
He’s found himself
Staring down a wall

Whose other side
Is disappointing
Pushing him to fall

He picks himself up to see
It is a very different place
And feels himself rushing from it
With an unfamiliar pace

Someone has taken all the colors
And packed them all away
All the while behind them leaving
A saddened dark and dreary gray

And he thinks he can change things
He’s just not sure that he’s ready to

And for some time
He’s found himself
Staring back down the wall

Wishing he could
Go back to the life
He lived before the fall

He is hoping when he closes his eyes
That everything will change
Yet every moment when he opens them
Everything has stayed the same

Can you help him find a place
That’s not so dark and grim
Because he closes his eyes tonight
To leave it all behind him

In his life before the fall
Is where he had it all
In his life before the fall
Is now a fairy tale call

Can he be a forgiver
And not hope for a kill
Or does he search for the demons
Whose blood he will spill

You know he’ll become
All the things that he’ll chase
Alone in the darkness
And without a face

Before the fall he had it all
In time everything makes him smile

Before the fall he had it all
Now he’s stuck himself in denial

Before the fall he had it all
There’s endless pain in his trial

Before the fall he had it all
He’s lost walking a lonely mile

On his path if he’d only look back
I bet he’d hear voices saying
If you could reflect into what you’ve done
I bet that you’d start changing

Now to free his own soul is to never know
What he could have died for
And now he’s face to face with his own past
And he knows that he could have lived more

Kill or be Killed

I ask you your stance
And you show me your hands

And you talk and you dance
Around the matters at hand

And you feel so complete
With such faith you believe

It’s not hard to conceive
You just might be God’s hand

With your beliefs
Kill or be killed

Your own two hands
Kill or be killed

Unto a friend
Kill or be killed

Unto all man
Kill or be killed

Much time you’ve taken
To believe what you think is right

You never challenged yourself
For someone else you fight

You spit on the fools and whores
Who you think threaten your life

Forgive me for thinking
I think that just not right

What is it that bleeds
On our inside it feeds
And outside us plants seeds
Are we feeling alright

I do what I say
And I say what I do
And at the end of the day
I’m coming for you

You, I’m coming for you

I think that you told me before
All these
All these fairy tales of folklore
I hope you’re done
Done telling me lies
To the
To the innocence in my eyes

If you don’t believe
And if you don’t receive someone’s faith
They believe that there’s no hope for your soul

Now you’re forced to move forward
There’s no time to refrain
Your tolerance has ended
His words are your bane

With your beliefs
You kill or be killed

Your own two hands
You kill or you’ll be killed

Unto a friend
Kill or be killed

Unto all man
Kill or be killed

You’ve got to
Kill or be killed

So now you
Kill or you’ll be killed

He says
I am your savior
Feel within your soul
That deep down in vain
I’m the killer of your pain

I am your savior
Feel within your soul
Deep down in vain
I’m the killer of your pain
And now this conflict within me
Beckons me to change
I feel I kill now in fear
I don’t feel I have a choice

In this moment
I hold a knife in my hand
Slowly cutting for the heart
To hold the last pulse of man

I hold it up for everybody to see
I hold it up for me
I hold it high for the world to see
I’m holding destiny

Here Now

Let me tell you a story
It begins here now
In our own time
A good man is trying
To help others
And ends up giving his life
Upon his judgment
A day will not stand
A thousand years to this man
Having lost everything
Left wondering why
He holds past secrets inside

Sleepless nights
Every night
Overtake him
And so he’s
Left asking how
Still searching
On his journey
We arrive here now

This world holds a young man
Raised by a decent family
Only to be given up by them
To a much different destiny
Plagued by his confusion
Of having given up so much
He only knows that he’s a killer
And his corruption overshadows love
He lacks empathy for anyone

Here now in his presence
Of making an escape
Helped by a curious wanderer
He’s now forced to face his fate
Challenged he looks deep within
He’s searching through his pain
Bringing back his confusion
Overtaking him feels washed away
And the winds howling of shame

The curious wanderer
Must compose himself
To speak to a killer
The opposite of himself

What kind of death
Searches for you?
Would you change your life
If you knew?
It’s not the fear of death
That keeps us alive
Its love for each other
And a heart to survive

The killer must release him
To set him free
Perhaps in time he’ll
See what’s underneath

What manner is this?
How did this come about?
That this curious wanderer
Sought him out?
A poor man in rags
Telling him what to do
Should he cast him out
Or does he speak the truth

Fueling confusion
This wanderer is right
To break this tension
The wanderer must die

Destiny brought them together
And now fate rips them apart
Its as if the curious wanderer
Knew this all from the start
Saying to the killer, “when I die
Take a moment of silence
But please don’t take it for me
Take it for all those who are still suffering”

Its such a simple lesson
not to hate or not to judge
And even he always finds
That
That he can hold a grudge
He says,
We’re all in this together
And believe me when I say
I mean to change the past
By living better every day

Its just a small change of direction
To correct what he has wronged
Time will take him to the top
To the place that he’s belonged
This killer now walks alone
Not knowing where to go
Yet to him its making sense cause at least he’s going somewhere on his own

Sleepless nights
Every night
Overtake him
And so he’s
Left asking how
Still searching
On his journey
We arrive here now

Execution

If ever a soul would wander
Wherever would it go
Before the light of day
Or in darkness would it show
Nothing but a mythical mist of an apparition

Nothing more than the whisper of imagination
Some say yes and some say no
That they have seen a wandering soul
Day and night they come and go
Yet nothing shows a wandering soul

But make no mistakes of prophecies foretold
Of the wondering souls of the young and old
That yes they are real and wander not
Are rather chained down under key and lock

So told were the souls to know their way
To their bed
To their rest
Their ending place

That in good time they will return
To the flesh that’s left
Their final grace

He carries a body
To silence everyone
And they all stood staring
Fearing their savior is gone

Knowing now that
Life won’t be the same
They fear for things to get better
They will endure more pain

Execution

People are gathering
Out in the square
They are now moving
Towards a voice on the air

They’re all going to see
A coming red dawn
A changing of times
Calls for an execution

We’re all marching
To the gallows

To kill in this way
Helps us believe
We can bring about change
Begin a brand new day

So bring him forward
And let us see
See the faceless man
And set us free

Execution

Here we are
Where I always knew our story would end
Even kings have to pay when the scales tip too far
Do you remember?
You took me away
You said you’d make me more
And all you did was make me very good
At what I am about to do to you

Pointing and staring
Towers over all
Now witness a man
Lighting up his resolve

The clouds moving in
Skies are no longer clear
The scene strangles the people
They look on in fear

There’s no one to stop him
He lights up a flame
Igniting his victim
And ending his reign

Chaotic confusion
For mans revolution
This towering nightmare
Ends with Execution

Kill
Execution

In the aftermath
Rain is pouring down
Everyone is staring
Their fallen leader dead on the ground

He’s standing high above them
A ghostly figure screaming out
Vengeance is now mine
I will take this broken crown

They all know now
Their lives won’t be the same
They fear for things to get better
They all will endure more

Execution

The King and the Thief

I’ll never mean to question your integrity
I’ll only hope that you will think more objectively
I’ll never ever force you from what you would believe
That is when a king turns into a thief
Into a thief

I’ve made a change
From deep within
I hope you’ll see
I’ll set you free

I’ve had a vision
A revelation
We’ll rise together
To become kings
When I know I’m no king

I work to fit all the pieces
Now inside my head for you
I hope they all fit together
Before I am dead and gone

Sometimes people aren’t
Exactly what they seem
You may now see a thief
In time I hope you see a king

Too many times I’ve questioned
Exactly where I stand
I’m standing in the middle
Simply extending my hand

So tell me what you see
The king or the thief

The look on your faces
Tells me you’re unsure of me
Please don’t turn and run
Don’t let this moment fade away

The time is getting closer
This problem has lasted too long
You stood on the shoulders of faith
Just to find out you were wrong

Too many time’s you’ve questioned
Just exactly where you stand
Reaching out for guidance
Simply extending your hand

So tell me what you see
The king or the thief

So follow me
One last

Time
Rise
Lead

Time
Change
Believe

Its time to follow
Come follow me
No one left to trust
No one but me

It’s time to follow
So come follow me
Out of the shadows and dust
Let us march the streets

Time
Learn
Live

Time
Stand
Unite

If I could change my past
I know I should
If I could change things now
You know I would

I’ve reflected on the past
From which I ran
Please know I have changed
I’ve changed who I am

I have felt your pain and I
Have channeled myself through you today
If I had never really shown
Know there is a heart within this stone

Forever we rise
Forever we lead
Together we’ll change
Together we will believe

Forever we learn
Forever we live
Together we stand
Together we will unite

I never mean to question your integrity
I’ll only hope that you will think more objectively
I’ll never ever force you from what you would believe
That is when this king turns into a thief

The Time Traveler
Pt. I: Requiem (instrumental)
Pt. II: The Kings Mirror

Wisdom stood at the edge of disaster
While the rest of the world moved on
Darkness followed its light chasing it down
So unmercifully killed wisdom lost to be found

There is a light shining up ahead

Drifting like a cloud
Slowly fading as he dies
He wants to be on the ground
With some meaning in his life

That’s when the curse ends
When one dies for a cause
We’ll follow remembering
Everything that is lost

There was a fire inside him
Consuming him whole
A flame that was burning
Predicting his fall

The pain of the ending
That’s been written by man
Who told of the end times
With footprints in the sand

A long time ago
There was a message of peace
As time went along
The message turned to greed

He was standing there
Waiting for lives to change
Only to realize
He had brought on all this pain

What will be left
When his flame burns out
Exposed on the outside
True feelings surface now

So surreal
Standing outside himself
He can clearly see
The entire picture now

Two voices calling his name
One from wisdom the other from deceit
He realizes now that it’s all been inside
Both voices are his and he can no longer hide

Reflections from a mirror
I haven’t seen you for a while
I hope you haven’t forgotten
We’ve been friends before

And with your return
You remind me of our pain
It’s still good to see
A familiar face

While wandering around
Such a desolate place
I can tell you’re lost
By the look on your face

Follow me to the dream
When you’re feeling misplaced

There’s no longer hope
No need to smile

These things I’ve done
How can they ever forgive me
Can I ever forgive myself
I’m still lost in the shadows

In the darkness where I hide
Is still where I survive

A thousand faces
Their blood is on my hands
Each kill a potential friend
Forever lost in time

Your life before the fall
Will I remain this lonely king?
Is where you had it all

He taught me so much
But left me with more questions than answers
The torment of right from wrong
Is there really a place for me?
He said self reflection would certainly heal

Time to look in the mirror
Put yourself on trial

All I see is an empty shell
No one to turn to
No where to hide
Who will judge me now

You’ll know I hold your name
Just as soon as you feel pain

I will rise from the ash
Of my sins and torment
Forever I move forward
Forever I embrace my pain

In your life before this fall
Freed from these shackles I become selfless
You’ll never have it all
I will deliver them all from the darkness

This is how it ends
Where it all began
This is where it ends
Where it all began

Part III: M
Part IV: Upon My Return

I am a great time traveler
Inside my mind it’s very clear
I’m blessed with the powers of traveling
Across the span of one thousand years

I made a promise to myself
To keep an eye out for myself
I’m searching for the next generation
Of my reincarnation

I found myself and had to convince him
That we are both one in the same
That I am sent across time to heal
With some time he’ll even change

In return that he should send me off
One final burden of his game
To sacrifice me and then send me
Traveling once again

And now I wait
Upon my return
Upon my return
The world waits

Who will I find
Where will I end up going next
Will I be young
Will I be old is my only guess

It looked like a sunset upon the horizon
A figure appeared in the sky
Beset with confusion it was no illusion
It turned out this figure was I

This is my eternity
Living my life in this way
Without a thought I collected myself
I continued on with my faith

Upon my return

Intro:

Ímperiúm vestrí is ést
Iustus nou vox
Pénétro nostrum vomícá
En caligo veces
A novus universitas
Ordo has exorsus
Is est prolusion um debello
Universitas of ego men

Gunshots rang out in the south end of town this afternoon. Several people were wounded and two were pronounced dead at the scene. Another man was rushed to the hospital, was not responsive to paramedics, and his current condition is unknown. Investigators are still on the scene and names have not yet been released. However, a reliable source has told channel 3 news that an off duty officer may have been involved.

The Curse Begins

We’re all in this together
We can feel it in our senses
We’ll say goodbye forever
Not knowing the future cuts off our hands

Control yourself
This is just not right
Enters a curse
Into the darkest time

One just wanted to steal
Two just wanted his revenge
In the darkest time
The third just wanted to help

Control yourself
This is just not right
Enters a curse
Into the darkest time

He takes this gift and is cast back to earth

A thousand years of darkness always wandering in search
He takes this gift and is cursed back to earth

The Curse Begins
Why has this curse befallen me?

New World Order

I’ve now descended on this place
Where darkness looms the heart beats faint
What should I now live for?
How can I have lived more?

They sweeten the illusion to soften the blow
Filtering truth for their agendas to show
Corrupt men like gods begin to shine
Original thought is now a crime
Don’t be afraid to try and live

Inside a cage locked inside your mind
This new world order has arrived
It’s time to find a whole new way to survive
This haunting presence sets in

One thousand years of sin
This is the time
A time to forget
Just why you’re here

Unbelievable
Things happening
Right before your eyes
And its hard to say

Just what to believe
You never know
Just whose watching you
And you can’t trust anyone

A make believe world of disbelief
Where every one of your steps is counted
I fell into this place
This gift is my disgrace

It’s as if I’ve been misplaced
The wrapping disguised the taste
This world has become my life
Is this how it’s supposed to be?

I can’t make sense of the madness
There isn’t any hope for me
In search of destiny
Of what I once believed

There’s darkness underneath
The basis of belief
This is the time
A time to forget

Just who you are
Unbelievable
Things happening
Right before your eyes

It’s hard to say
Just what to believe
In this new world order
This new world order

Infiltrator

Three men died and were brought before god.
The first two men were cast into the shadows of heaven.
The third man is silent and is given his life back. He is sent back to live on earth.
The third man spent a day in heaven while a thousand years passed for man.

This he did not know, yet he soon found out that this was not the world in which he once lived. Feeling cursed, he is now cast out searching for a soul that will listen in this new world. To his surprise he would run into a young assassin, this is who he met.

Simply I seek
To cause misfortune
Into your doom
Soon after I’m done

Creep into your veins
Sneaking up from behind
I’ll catch up with you
There’s no time to rewind

I’m sent with intent
Sent to destroy
Sent to kill
I am no friend

I am a demon
Until you are still
Infiltrator
And I’ll infiltrate you

I’m the Infiltrator
And you will be through
Madness surrounds me
This is my game

Darkness surrounds me
And death is my name
There’s no escaping this
There’s no escaping me

Closing your eyes I’m done
Closing your eyes I’m done
Closing your eyes I’m done
Closing your eyes you’re gone

Terror Run

Sometimes in life
We meet a face
A deceiving smile
Of friendships embraced

And these people
They think they’re immortal
But in the end to them
You’re a soul to borrow

I met you, you are my friend
But still you tell me you’re my end
So tell me why you now run from terror
I met you, you are my end

But still you tell me you’re my friend
So tell me why you now run from terror
Please know that the world has now changed
But the terror runs the same

Because the terror runs the same
The world has now changed
Some are marched
Some are slain

Others are tortured
And some are enslaved
The look of fear
Strikes across your ace

So you find your leave
From out of this place
I met you, you are my friend
But still you tell me you’re my end

So tell me why you now run from terror
I met you, you are my end
But still you tell me you’re my friend
So tell me why you now run from terror

Please know that the world has now changed
But the terror runs the same
Because the terror runs the same
The world has now changed.

Just Outside

You built this wall to keep us out
And never let us in
Your path is of great destruction
In hopes that you might win

This barren landscape has become your place of promise
And all it seems you’ve done is
Place your burdens on us
Tell me there’s hope

Tell me to smile
Tell me I’m loved
And that I’m not on trial
Tell me not to fear this fearful night

Tell me you’re my brother and our bond is tight
For I have seen the moon turn red
Caused by the spirits of the dead
And when fire falls from the sky

Please know I’m standing just outside
To fall and to never get up again
But crawl and never stand up at all
And cry when never understanding why
We die from never having lived a life

From behind you wall you stand
Forcing faith across the land
Just outside
Walking his path without a soul

Delusional but in control
Just outside he threatens unto them
Fall in line or he will suffer them”
”Remember,” he says, “you’re all bound to obey or death is your fate you could all be slaves”

It all takes place
Just outside the gate
Of the place where this man
Tries to control all fate

So remember who you are
And don’t step out of line
This example could be you
It could be you next time

So be careful
And hope that in time
You don’t find yourself
Just outside

Intent to Kill

Just like a painting
Hanging on a wall before me
Displaying scenes of tragedy
Of some forsaken story

This life I’ve come to take
May have shadows it will cast
This death will give me honor
Just like great kings of the past

This is what I know
What you say it is not true
History will write itself
There’s nothing you can do

Innocence must die
To be pure is a lie
His blood fills the sky
Destroying the mind

Nothing you can do
Forgive me
One last time
Because his beliefs

Have to die
Who do I intend to kill?
And old man who lies of history
Now that I intend to kill

This old man won’t get the best of me
With his blood that I will spill
Cleansing of his soul will ever be
But his words they speak to me

My intent to kill is now fading
They speak to me
My intent to kill is now fading
Kick your feet

Keep your head above the water
Reach for some sunshine as the current takes you under
His words are choking the forgiveness of the sinner
Condemned to hell first prize and you’re the winner

This curse is stinging inside me
This world is not what I believe
A shadows cast among the guilt of the believers
My intent to kill is among the role of deceivers

I cant help, but believe it a revelation
This destruction of an entire nation
Is what you tell me true and Is it something you would die for?
We’ve heard people speak their truth then go out and kill more

We’re all in this together
Control yourself
We can feel it in our senses
This is just not right

We’ll say goodbye forever
The curse is real
In the darkest time
Tell me how you feel

What do you believe?
What are you willing to let go of?
Keep an open eye
And hope you don’t find

Yourself intending to kill
Your piece of mind
We intend to kill
Anything we don’t know

We’ll destroy the mind
Afraid of what the truth shows

Revelation

PAST

Evidence can show us what is real and what is not
It shows us how we attach emotion to every fragment of our thoughts
And it makes no sense to all of us how different we can be
Proving there may not just be one-way for any one of us to believe

To believe
So we juggle in this paradigm all the questions of the day
Between two worlds of insanity
Ultimately driving us insane

And in that moment
We may become undone
I only move on
I will never run

I could tell you
Things you may receive
If you would listen
Would you believe?

When your revelation has revealed to me
The things that you’ve done
And things that you’ve seen
So come unto me

For I can set you free
Step into your brightness
Or let your darkness be.
Come follow me

It’s your time to see
This unsacred ground
That you’ve sunk beneath
But please do not stay

Please turn away
Your heart has been stolen
Your soul has been stabbed
Dig down deep

And you will see
Your own world
Of reality
What is it good for

Why should you follow
Why are my words
So hard to swallow
You have no faith

You never had any dreams
You only seem to live
To hear all those deadly screams
What is it good for?

And why did you follow?
Why are these words
So hard to swallow?
A shift has come

The time has changed
This historic repeat
Of re-arrange
Through out time

This question keeps calling
Do we build ourselves up?
Or do we build to keep falling?
Believe me

One last time
I promise you my words
I promise they’re divine
I’ve told you where you’ve been

I’ve told you what you’ve seen
I know what you’ve done
And where you’ve come from
To me this life of yours

Is no revelation
I have told you what I see
Standing here in front of me
I have told you things to come

There is no place to run
To me this life of yours
Is no revelation

PRESENT

I know you want me on your side
Yet it seems you want me in my grave
Its not that I don’t believe you
It just seems you’d have me for a slave

I could never be your horse
I just don’t have any strength
The pushing and pulling of your cart
Is crushing me and destroying my heart

I cant change anything
Even if I’ve had a change of heart
This extreme of which you speak
Don’t push me too far

Your words are painful
And I’m feeling crippled
They’re un-nerving
And I feel disposed of

I can’t sleep because
They’re cutting me deep
Your words echo loud
And are dragging me down

Take a breath or else you may drown
That is what you tell me
Yet deep inside I have a pain
For you whom I am forsaking

It seems that you have an agenda
In every last thing that you do
Though I may now leave you alive
That doesn’t mean we’re through

Take a breath or else you will drown
That is what I’m telling you
For deep inside I have this truth
Which I now reveal to you

My purpose is genuine
And my love is for all
And hate no-one I won’t
No one at all

But this goes for you
To the best and the worst
And to life’s long journey
May you end this curse

So raise your own glass
I’m leaving at last
A toast if I might
And I’ll make it fast

That your days are fulfilled
And your life is enriched
And that goodness befalls you
What was torn is now stitched

For to be dumb is to fall
And smart is stead fast
BUT WISE is what
This world lacks

So I drink to you
And the filth that you stew
Hate no one I won’t
No one but you!

FUTURE

Please know there’s hope
Please try and smile
Please know you’re loved
And that you’re not on trial

There’s no need to fear this fearful night
I swear to you I am your brother and our bond is tight
Step out from behind your wall
And listen to the desperate calls

Of a world that has come undone
If you would stay and listen instead of run
You sweetened the illusion to soften the blow
Filtering truth when death is the show

But know this doesn’t have to end
To each man his own
Someone who he can call a friend
For each man should know too

Just open up your eyes and see
No matter how far apart we are
That at some point we are the same
A place we haven’t grown apart

What is it good for?
Why do we follow?
Why are these words,
So hard to swallow?

It is no Revelation
