BIOGENESIS LYRICS

1. Prelude (Nocturnal Images)

So once again we turn the page
Just what have we gained
We have forgotten who we are
Man is forever stained
Forever stained

A binding darkness
Hidden between the lines
Unseen spirits, poisoning the vines
Like parasites, they seek to devour
Eating away at our souls until the final hour

Nocturnal images
Between here and the spirit world unseen
Nocturnal images
A darkness the naked eye can't see

A growing hatred
Driven by design
Once foretold, we're given another sign
The parasites, they will rise to power
Through one man, who will stand in the final hour

Nocturnal images
Demonic images
Nocturnal images
Demonic images

So once again we turn the page
Just what have we gained
We have forgotten who we are
Man is forever stained

2. A Decadence Divine

There will be terrible times in the last days
People will be lovers of themselves
Lovers of money
Boastful, proud, abusive
Disobedient, ungrateful, unholy
Brutal, not lovers of the good
Always learning, but having no knowledge of the truth
Liars

For centuries foretold
A great falling away
A darkness descended
Leading to a slow decay
Beneath the surface
Of an age of technology
A blinding darkness
Hiding in a cloak of beauty

The sight is so fine
Drink from the wine
Of the poison vine
Sit down to dine
Drink from the vine
It's a decadence divine

The lies of generations
Are slowly chipping away
A spiritual war
An Armageddon
The signs are here today
The lost lead by the lost
Their minds controlled by
A godless facade
False wisdom
So-called knowledge
An age of man playing god

Playing god
The sight is so fine
Drink from the wine
Of the poison vine
Sit down to dine
Drink from the vine
It's a decadence divine

3. Inside The Beast

This beast has come
It's got a hold on me
It's gripping my throat
Choking me so I can't breathe
It's blinding and blurring my eyes
So I can't see
It's ringing in my ears
So I can't hear myself think

The beast's fire is burning inside of me
I grab your hand through this deceiving desire
I'm the beast inside of me
I'm coming undone, it's controlling me
It's time to lose myself inside your fire
You're the angel too blind to see

This beast is grounding me to the floor
Running towards me
Paralyzing my feet
My heart is caught in this afterlife's door
I can't control it or move
Yet I feel the heat

I'm the beast inside of me
Inside the beast

This beast has me chilled to the bone
I can't resist the suffering you bring
I ache for the touch of your body's wealth
You've given my heart a reason to sting

The beast's fire is burning inside of me
I grab your hand through this deceiving desire
I'm the beast inside of me
I'm coming undone, it's controlling me
It's time to lose myself inside your fire
You're the angel too blind to see
Too blind to see

4. Bet Your Soul

Now I will introduce myself; I'm known by many names
Lucifer, the devil; I'm the keeper of the games
So if you don't believe I exist; that's OK, I'll keep the beat
The more you roll the dice; the easier you are to defeat

Roll the dice; play your hand
Draw your card; check mate

I'm the voice inside your head; I'll make you think your life's in vain
I'm the author of your sorrow ; I'm the keeper of your pain
I know you think you know it all; but I bet you'll feel the heat
When you look away; you fall victim to my deceit

I bet your soul; bet your soul that you're wrong
What you believe ; what you thought ; that you knew for so long
I bet your soul; bet your soul that you're wrong
You know it all; but there's so much you could never know
What's your move

So now we must conclude this game; and you'll know my claim to fame
I'm the maker of every lie; and I just can't wait for you to die
So if you are satisfied ; and your choices are complete
I will see you in hell; begging at my feet

I bet your soul; bet your soul that you're wrong
What you believe ; what you thought ; that you knew for so long
I bet your soul; bet your soul that you're wrong
You know it all; but there's so much you could never know
What's your move

Just believe the lies I tell
The unseen ones, the angels that fell
Just believe there is no god, just as they tell
I will gladly welcome you to hell

5. As Empires Fall

Politics of a heretic, consequence of the unknown
The putrid stench of lies, ascending from the throne
No matter the time, nor the place
It has always been this way
Tell them all what they want to hear
Make the people pay
Dominate and control,the creed is still the same
To suppress your rights is the reason for this game
Rob you of your voice, to suffocate the will
Say what they must, to gain your trust
Go in for the kill

Contriving deception
Seeds of propaganda
Spread like a virus
To breed their agenda

All for one and one for all
Some will never hear the call
All for none and none for all
And the empires fall, fall

Rise up, face it, but will we ever change it
Built on power to control the masses
All through the ages men have ruled with fists of iron
Man then becomes god, and the empires fall
Man becomes god, as the empires fall
Paid with warrior's blood
In the name of a man-made god
A false divinity, a malevolent authority

Follow me, a prevaricating fraud
Through iron and fire
Man becomes god

Pay with your blood
Kneel before your new god
We'll tell you what you believe
No need to think for yourself

All for one and one for all
Some will never hear the call
All for none and none for all
As the empires fall
As the empires fall

6. Lines In The Sand

A fallen world; lost in an age of abominations
The moral decay leads the way; with each generation
With each passing day; we are walking further away
All the while we are leading; the little ones astray
The little ones astray
We are lost in our own grand illusion
Our eyes do not see; our ears do not hear
The warnings or the signs of the conclusion

The lost lead the lost; and we will know the cost
As we ignore the lines in the sand; drawn by his own hand
His command; we have erased the lines in the sand
The lines in the sand
Lines in the sand

A growing rage is setting the stage
For the next wave of deception
A tainted faith opens the gates
For an atheistic agenda
Turning wrong into right
Painting darkness in a heavenly light
Poisoning the well; carving out a pathway to hell
Carving out a pathway to hell

The lost lead the lost; and we will know the cost
As we ignore the lines in the sand; drawn by his own hand
His command; we have erased the lines in the sand
The lines in the sand
Lines in the sand

What have we become

The lines in the sand; his command
We have erased the lines in the sand

The lost lead the lost; and we will know the cost
As we ignore the lines in the sand; drawn by his own hand
His command; we have erased the lines in the sand
The lines in the sand
Lines in the sand

7. The Pain You Left Behind

It seems that you were lost
In the darkness of your thoughts
The voices lied to you and you chose to listen
You were caught up in the silence, the pain of the moment
Now that it's all over
It's too late to change your mind
Now that it's all over
It's too late to ask you why

What about the pain you left behind
Did you ever stop to think of this
And what about all the ones who loved you
Who didn't have a chance to say goodbye

You thought you were alone
But you couldn't have been more wrong
You had a beautiful life
You could have chosen to be strong
But now we're left with the pieces
And the painful memories of a life that's lost
So I want to know
We want to know

What about the pain you left behind
Did you ever stop to think of this
And now I know a pain I'd never known
All because of one choice that you made

Caught by a lie
And now you're gone
And for you it's all over
But for me it never dies
Caught by a lie
Now you're gone
And for you it's all over
But for me the pain will never die

The gun you held in your hand
Was never your friend
The pain you felt would have passed
And faded in time
But I will always remember you
I remember you
My friend I'll never forget
But the last choice you made
I'll always regret

What about the pain you left behind
Did you ever stop to think of this
And now I know a pain I've never known
All because of one choice that you made

You chose a lie
For the rest of our lives
We'll be asking why

8. Tears Of God

As he looks upon this corruption; of his own creation
He waits for eyes to see
An atheistic indoctrination
Flows through the veins of our children
Will their eyes ever see; will their eyes ever see
The beast is free to run; as the lies run through our blood
Violence, murder; the devil's gospel has begun

Let the tears of god fall like rain
Let the love in his sorrow heal our pain
Let the tears of god fall on me
Let the tears of god forgive us all

We have become all about ourselves; as the seeds of un-forgiveness grow
And we will know just what we sow
Greed and lust are forever more; history repeats, just like before
Close your eyes and follow me
As the legions lead us into the dark; the mirror's image begins to fade
From behind the mask they will persuade
To gain the world, we lose our souls
As foretold in the ancient scrolls; the gates of hell are open wide

Let the tears of god fall like rain
Let the love in his sorrow heal our pain
Let the tears of god fall on me
Let the tears of god forgive us all

God let us see our reflection in you
Remind us of who we are; made in your image
Show us our reflection in you
God please forgive us; we know not what we do
God please open our hearts; to see your face again
To see your face again; oh god, open our hearts again

A godless age has lead us here
Replaced our faith with primal fear
Suicide, genocide
No purpose to live, no place to hide

Tears of god; tears of god; shatter the facade; tears of god
Tears of god; tears of god; shatter the facade; tears of god
Shatter

Seeds of darkness; breeding hatred; in a world gone wrong
Loss of innocence leads to twisted minds; in the labyrinth of lies

We're running out of time; god please revive our souls
Before it becomes too late; we must and will choose our fate
We will choose our fate
In a world of never ending lies; a smiling face of compromise
In a world of never ending lies; face of compromise
God we need you

9. Land Of Confusion

[originally by Genesis]

I must have dreamed a thousand dreams; been haunted by a thousand screams
But I can hear the marching feet; they're moving into the street

Now did you read the news today; they say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight; there burning into the night

There's too many men, too many people; making too many problems
And not much love to around; can't you see this is a land of confusion

This is the world we live in; and there are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying; to make it a place worth living in

Superman where are you now; when everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power; are losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place; so we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around; tell me why this is a land of confusion

This is the world we live in; and these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying; to make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago; when the sun was shining
And the stars were bright, all through the night
And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight
So long ago

I won't be coming home tonight; my generation will put it right
We're not just making promises; that we'll never keep

There's too many men, too many people; making too many problems
And not much love to around; can't you see this is a land of confusion

Now this is the world we live in ;and these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying; to make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in; and these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing; just where our lives are going to

10. In The Darkness I Dwell

I've been in this hell for much too long; the pain that I feel is much too strong
My soul surrounded by this agony; all I really want is to breathe again

There is no hope inside of me; I want to know the meaning
What it means to be free; can anyone hear my cries
Trapped in this prison made of lies; made of lies

In the darkness I dwell; lost in the sorrow of my hell
In the darkness I dwell; is there anyone, anywhere
Who can save me from myself; save me from myself
Is there anyone out there; who can save me from myself

Long ago when you reached out your hand
You promised me that you would make me understand
With these walls, you've surrounded me
And who I am isn't who I thought I would be
My future written in the sand; this path of misery is more than I can stand
God can you hear me now; god can you save me somehow

In the darkness I dwell; can someone save me from my own hell
In the darkness I dwell; is there anyone, anywhere
Who can save me from you; and save me from myself
Is there anyone out there; who can save me from you

Lost in this silence I've been given here
My mind imprisoned for so many years
Lost for way too long; where do I belong
Brain washed, so much to chip away
I believed in you, your words were never true
At last I see my true awakening

Reborn in agony, will I escape; deceived again and again
I long for answers; finally I can see the truth, you were never
God please remember me; when I sleep forever

In the darkness I dwell; god please lift me from this hell
In the darkness I dwell; is there anyone, anywhere
In the darkness I dwell; I will choose to leave this hell
In the darkness I dwell; I refuse to dwell

Reborn from agony, I have escaped; now I see the true face behind the mask
No more lies, I've opened my eyes; the chains are broken
I will not follow you; because in the darkness you dwell
I will not follow you ; because in the darkness you dwell

There isn't anyone ever again
Who can pull me down to hell

11. Brood Of Vipers

It was 1692
They were people just like you
Murder of the innocent
All in the name of god
A mass hysteria
Claiming the lives of your own
Who died and made you god
Pointing fingers from a man made throne

Hang the witch in the name of god
To the gallows, hypocrisy's rod

Brood of vipers; kill for heaven's sake
Brood of vipers; like the venom of the snake
Brood of vipers; drown them in the lake
Brood of vipers; innocence at the stake
Brood of vipers; you brood of vipers

You force them all to see
With your fist of hypocrisy
A pathetic paranoia
All in the name of Christ
20 innocents to their graves
Leaders become the devil's slaves
What part of let he who has no sin
Cast the first stone don't you comprehend

Hang the witch in the name of god
To the gallows, hypocrisy's insanity

Brood of vipers; children of the snake
Brood of vipers; atrocities for heaven's sake
Brood of vipers; your authority is fake
Brood of vipers ; innocent lives that you take
Brood of vipers; you brood of vipers

Interrogation, false prosecution
Liars dominion, execution

Spiritual genocide; breath of life denied
A dark cloud of death over Salem
Christian homicide ; the devil lives inside
Hypocrisy brings death to Salem
Death to the witches of Salem
Death to the witches of Salem

12. Silence

You came to me like an angel of light
So innocent and blameless
Such a beautiful sight
And you were a gift from heaven
A pure and precious life
A love that cannot be broken
With silent words unspoken

The words that you never say
I so long to hear
I long to know the child behind
Behind the silence
The silence

Your laughter, it brings joy to my soul
The breath of life goes through me
A kind of love I've never known
My love for you will always be
My love will never fade away
The embrace will never be broken
But you're priceless words remain unspoken

The words that you've never said
I so long to hear
I long to know the child
The child behind the silence
The silence

I am just an imperfect man
But I will give you the best that I can
I will guide you, and show you
All my love is in your hands
But I want to know the child
Behind the silence
