EVIL
Death, with this wretched heart, is the only thing that I bring. There's not a cruel deed that these hands withhold. Black, the only shade my eyes are inclined to see, and anything I give, I take back ten-fold.
And if You really are the one, the holy one that people say, I don't know how You can stand to see my face
'cause I'm not just dark. I'm evil. I am everything I hate. I'll take until there's nothing left. This world, these people, all their suffering and pain - I only care about myself.
Feed every carnal thought, all the lust that I embrace, and I don't even feel the slightest sting. Leave everything I need for the nothingness that I crave. I want to wallow in my misery.
There's just something in my heart always desperate to hate. Some part of me takes pleasure in causing other people pain. I only love the ones from whom there's something I can gain. I can't see why You would ever take my place.
'cause I'm not just dark. I'm evil. I am everything I hate. I'll take
until there's nothing left. This world, these people, all their
suffering and pain - I only care about myself.
What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of the Lamb.
'cause I'm not just dark. I'm evil. I am everything I hate. I'll take
until there's nothing left. This world, these people, all their
suffering and pain - I only care about myself. |
ALL GLORY
I MUST HAVE HEARD IT A THOUSAND TIMES, IN REASSURANCE, "HE IS NOT DEAD", AS IF TO EASE MY MIND OR BY MEANS OF REASON I’D BE MISLED, AS IF THE SOURCE OF LIFE MIGHT I'll NEVER SEE WHAT YOU TELL ME TO. THIS IS WHY I WAS MADE.
ALL GLORY TO THE ONE TRUE GOD.
BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN, BEFORE THE HANDS OF TIME BEGAN TO TURN, HE HAD FOREVER BEEN, AND HE WILL WATCH AS EARTH AND AGES BURN. THE MOUNTAINS BOW BEFORE, THE HEAVENS, THEY TELL THE MIGHT OF HIM WHOSE REIGN WILL NEVER CEASE.
WHO CAN STAND IN DEFIANCE? WHO IS THERE LIKE HIM? THERE IS NO ONE. |
SHATTER
YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH AT THE SOUND OF THE NAME. NO SOONER THAN IT WAS SAID, I FELT THE ATMOSPHERE CHANGE. THOUGHTS BETRAYED BY THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE. I KNOW THE WEIGHTOF THE WORD, THE CARNAL RESOLVE TO ESCAPE.
TURNING YOUR BACK ON ALL YOU ARE, YOU CHOKE IT OFF, BUT IN THE QUIET OF YOUR HEART, YOU KNOW.
LET SHATTER THE HOLLOW THAT YOU HOLD. TIME, IT SLIPS AWAY.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, THIS I KNOW: EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US WILL BREAK.
OPEN YOUR EYES AND UNCLENCH YOUR FISTS. HERE WHERE ANYTHING GOES, THE SOLE EXCEPTION IS THIS. TELL IT STRAIGHT, CALL IT FOR WHAT IT IS. YOU KNOW THE WEIGHT OF THE WORD, THE CALL YOU RESOLVE TO RESIST.
WHETHER BY CHOICE OR UNDER CIRCUMSTANCE, RELENT OF WILL OR IN THE AGONY OF CONSEQUENCE; IF ONLY IN THE BINDING CLUTCHES OF DEATH, KNOW THIS: THAT WHICH YOU'VE MADE UP YOUR MIND TO REJECT WILL BREAK YOU YET. |
FARTHER
YOU'VE SUCH A STEADFAST SOUL, SO FAITHFUL TO THE MORNING. DON'T YOU THINK YOU'VE EARNED ONE NIGHT? THE WEIGHT OF LIFE I KNOW IS BEARING DOWN UPON YOU. I'll TAKE IT FROM YOU IF YOU'LL PUT YOUR HAND IN MINE.
RUN.
AND IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO HOLD YOU, I PROMISE YOU i'll NEVER LET YOU GO. I'll TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY BEFORE IT'S OVER. I'll TAKE YOU FARTHER THAN YOU WANT TO GO.
EVERY SECOND OF PLEASURE, HOW MANY YEARS OF DESPAIR? THIS ISN'T OVER YET. AND THOUGH YOU WROUGHT IT IN LAUGHTER, YOU WILL RECALL IT IN TEARS, A MOMENT'S SOLACE ECLIPSED BY REGRET.
I AM THE VESSEL OF YOUR DESOLATION; THE STEADY BECKONING OF SELF-DESTRUCTION. |
GUILLOTINE
DAY BY DAY, THE DIRT STAINED RED THE WORLD AROUND. "RENOUNCE OR BE MADE AN EXAMPLE." THEY CHOSE TO STAND THEIR GROUND.
IN TIME TO RISE JUST AS HE ROSE. FOR NOW, IN CALM REPOSE.
GUILLOTINE, GUILLOTINE, SEVER DISSENT CLEAN. MAKING TWO, MAKING WHOLE, KILL FLESH AND FREE SOUL. NOW SEE THE FAITHFUL HOME, GUILLOTINE.
LITTLE BLADE, RENDERING BODIES COLD AND STILL WON'T EXTINGUISH THE TORCH THEY CARRY. NO WEAPON EVER WILL.
SO LET THE BLOOD RUN. AND LET THE KINGDOM COME. |
