1. Generation Of Swine

You fucking swine.

2. Dissension

Where the fuck do you get off?
You don't know what the fuck I've been through.
Please try and tell me what I should feel.
Am I supposed to take back every word I said?
Everything he's told you is a lie.

I could tell you about all those times I spent all night crying alone and scared.
You would never believe me anyways because I could never think for myself.
Take a good look a the big picture. Take a good fucking look.

You all think that I was brainwashed.
Every thought and action was not my own.
And you ask why I'm so fucking angry.

"You don't understand. You were too young to comprehend."
How the fuck can you say that to my face?
I'm the one who lived through it all.

3. Chugs Ahoy

I’m done with you now.
Can’t you see that I’m all worn out?
It’s never too late to turn back.

Why can’t you see
(This bitter existence, just throw it all away.)
What you’re doing to me?
(Why can’t you see what you’re doing to me?)

I’m done with you now.
Can’t you see that I’m all worn out?
It’s never too late to
Turn back and let this all fall through,
Because you never knew
How much I wanted to believe in you, believe in you.

I won’t let you hold me back anymore.
I can’t let you hold me back anymore.

I’m done with you now.
Can’t you see that I’m all worn out?
It’s never too late to
Turn back and let this all fall through,
Because you never knew
How much I wanted to believe in you, believe in you, believe in you.

I see you destroying my self-confidence
With a single glance,
But this was not my intention and I never imagined
That it’d come to this.

You can’t go through life
Trying to change the past.
You have to move forward
And see what’s in front of you.

Sinking ships and burning bridges,
This is dead to me.
Sinking ships and burning bridges,
This is dead to me.

4. 1119

A wolf in sheep's skin preying on the innocent.
I should have listened when you told me, "You will end up like him."
I won't hang from the ceiling or put a bullet in my brain.
I can't wait to see what happens when I tear your world to shreds.

I know you lie awake possessed by your decisions.
Your mistakes, they will haunt you for the rest of your days.
You swear to yourself that you don't hear a sound
but tonight is not a night that you'll soon forget.

Everything that you say I am you soon became yourself.
At least that's how it seems to me, and how it has since the beginning.
You're a liar, your a cheat, and a fucking fake.

He's got his gun pointed at you tonight.
He's back from the grave to make everything right.
Aren't you glad you left off the light?
A choice so simple could have cost you your life.

Think of the past. Remember the last thing you said to him before he passed.
You fucking show that nobody knows truth lies with him. Secrets decompose.

5. Embrace The Plague

You're fucking worthless. Say what you want about me.
I know what you see when you look in the mirror.
You're swimming in a sea of pride and drowning in self-loathing.
You avoid me like the plague.
When I see you there'll be hell to pay.
And believe me when I say I never wanted this.

You've fallen victim to the latest trend,
and don't you think I know how this will end?
When you open your mouth you spread your lies like disease.
So keep your mouth shut. Don't fucking speak.

I remember the day that you turned on me.
You had nothing to say when I was in your face.
Your are nothing but a fucking waste.
Now let me put you in your goddamn place.

I am your voice of reason.
You are nothing more than a mannequin of flesh and blood.
An empty shell of what used to be a man.

Say all you want about me.
I know what you see when you look in the mirror.
Can you fully grasp what you have become?
Did you forget where you fucking came from?

You started to change when that fucking bitch came into play.
Tossing aside who meant the most.
Exceeding all my expectations.

You see your life through a broken lens.
Your vision skewed, and your life is a lie.
Your like a dog that needs to be put down.
You're all bark and no bite.
Can't look me in the eyes.

6. Threat Level: Midnight

I’ve paid my dues and I’ve had enough.
I tried so hard, never getting anything in return.
And I wish, I wish I could change this.
What is it that I’m doing wrong?

There are so many things that I’ve wanted to say,
And I won’t stop until you’ve heard it all.
Nothing held back, nothing in reserve.
I swear that I won’t stop until you’ve heard it all.

Systematically decrypting your mind.
I can’t keep fighting to keep this alive
When it’s been dead since the start.
Nothing left, it’s all falling apart.
I can’t keep fighting to keep this alive.
I can’t keep fighting to keep this alive.
I can’t keep fighting to keep this alive.
I can’t keep fighting this now.

There’s only so much I can take before
I’ll realize this will never happen.
Maybe one day you’ll see what you’re missing,
You’re missing in me.

Maybe one day you’ll open your eyes
And see just what you’ve thrown away.
Tossed aside like a piece of trash,
A relic you don’t need anymore.

Save me!
Break free!

There’s only so much I can take before
I’ll realize this will never happen.
Maybe one day you’ll see what you’re missing,
You’re missing in me, you're missing in me.

Open the door and let me see your face.
I’ve been around for so long
But I still feel out of place.
And it seems like the harder I try,
The further I fall,
And the longer I sit here
The harder it is to wait for you to call.

Open the door and let me see your face.
I’ve been around for so long
But I still feel out of place.

I can’t keep fighting.
I can’t keep fighting.
I can’t keep fighting.
I can’t keep fighting.
I won’t fight this anymore.

7. Bilbo Swaggins

How does it feel? Why have you done this?
Don't bother running back to me.
All you'll find is a result of your negligence.

All those nights I wasted on you, I could have saved myself.
Your selfishness will curse you more than you could ever bear.
I'll turn a cold shoulder on your suffering,
And you'll finally see just what you did to me.

You'll find yourself alone six feet in a grave.
The only thought I'll save of you is the moment your chest caved.

How does it feel?

I can see you slipping away,
And I just can't hold onto this any longer.
And I'm sorry, but it's got to be this way.
This is the end of our story.

Let's go back to the way it used to be,
Even though you were never there for me.

And maybe this was all a big mistake.
And maybe, just maybe this is more than I can take.
And maybe I'm crazy, I'm crazy.
Don't call on me cause I won't be there when you hit the bottom.

I hope that soon you will realize
That all this time I spent trying to make this work out
But you have always pushed me away.
Now I am done with this grief you have put me through.
It's time I show you what you've done to me.

8. Sons Of Corvinus

Born again with my senses heightened.
This new existence of mine leaves you awfully frightened.
I've been born again with my senses heightened.
I hear you pray, "Dear God, please let this night end".

I live and feed off of human blood.
I am the unholy creature living in caves
and coffins filled with cursed dirt from fields of the black death.

From the dead of night I come creeping in.
I'll end your life and start it again all while you are sleeping.

We've waited far too long.
We can't stay here any longer.
At this point I'm too far gone.
The night is young, it's getting colder.

The sunrise is so far away.
I sleep by day, dead to the world.
My shadow engulfs you into a slumber,
one that you will never wake from.
There's no turning back from here.
This cold existence will haunt you forever.
You've been had and now you're trapped.
All dreams die in my desolate castle.

Blood lust. Blood is life.
My teeth sink into your quiet slumber.
I sang her soul, the call of the death bird.
I spread my wings to escape the horrors of the night.

The masses are dying from wounds I have left them.
It spread like scourge through a ship.
One by one they all fell to me.

9. For The Lost Lenore

[Instrumental]

10. Strong Hands

You wrapped a noose around my neck.
What do you know about the world crashing down around you?
Look me in the eyes when you push me off.
Your own flesh and blood, I was never good enough.
I tried so hard to be everything you wanted me to be.
My skin turned black and my tears went red.

I never thought it would come to this.
Every night I spent waiting for you to come back.
Life was easy until it came crashing down.

You said, "I hope you rot," and that's when I told myself
I'd take your fucking life and burn all these memories,
the lies and every time I fell for it.
And for once I won't be the one screaming out for help.

Just because you brought me into this world doesn't mean a fucking thing.
If you could look me in the eyes, what would you say?

Transparent eyes like the bottom of your bottle.
You'll fucking pay for all the things you've done.

Would you take back all the things you said?
Every fist you threw, I'm fucking ruined.
Time does not heal everything. Stop me, stop me.

Once I have started I will not stop.
You will regret all the lies that you have wrought.
Please try and run, I will embrace the chase.
February 12th, you won't forget this day.

My hands are stained with the blood of a man
Who could not be a father to his own fucking son.

11. Retribution

We broke our backs so now we'll break your egos.
We always knew that this day would come.
We're not here for you.
