DEATH OF AN ERA LYRICS

1. Introduction

[Instrumental]

2. Reviler

You speak your mind but no one cares.
Self righteous attitudes don't amount to anything.
You think yourself, something of worth.
But in the end, you'll die alone like everyone else.
Form your stances on prejudice.
We'll see who's left behind to wallow in their shit.

Take your thoughts.
Die with them.

I don't care about what you think you know.
My life is not for you.
When the smoke clears, we'll see if you kept your word.
All will see, see your lies.
Time will pass, your words will fall on deaf ears.
Because you are a fake.

What does your life have to show for? [x4]
(Shut your fucking mouth,
No one would even care if you died.) [x2]

You should learn to bite your tongue before I cut it out. [x2]

3. Wasteland

You waste your life on nothing,
On nothing and everything.
This dead routine has taken its toll on your mind.

I wash my hands of you, vermin,
And your pathetic lives. [x2]

You wander in a mindless race for next to nothing,
A doctrine taught to you, since your birth.

One day you’ll wake up,
And you’ll realize that there’s nothing left,
And everything you’ve worked for is a lie and really meaningless.
It’s clear, a testimony of how ignorant you are,
Walking through your daily lives,
And missing what’s before your eyes.

I can show you actual life.
I can bring vitality.

Wake up to your surroundings,
And know how it feels to be alive.
Keep marching towards your death.
There’s nothing left to see.
Keep marching towards your downfall.
There’s nothing left to see.

You’re only a simple insect,
Devoid of humanity.
You’re caught in a constant struggle,
Its name is complacency. [x2]

Fuck.

Society speaks only lies. [x2]

4. Deplorable

I watched you turn your back on us,
Betraying your best friends and their trust.
Your actions will have consequences,
In time you will pay for your offenses.
You will see no sympathy.

Open your eyes and see only lies.
Open your ears and take in your fears.

You threw it all away,
And now there is nothing left.
Nothing left but shame.

Your lies are fucking poison,
And your word is worthless.
Respect has lost all meaning,
Pay your price in blood.
Your time has come you'll see,
And now you're dead to me.
Vengeance is short in coming,
And your best chance is running.

You pathetic waste,
Writhe in hellish pain.

You threw it all away,
And now there is nothing left.
Nothing left but shame.

So save me from your lies. [x2]

Your lies are fucking poison,
And your word is worthless.
Respect has lost all meaning,
Pay your price in blood tonight.

I watched you turn your back on us,
Betraying your best friends, and their trust.
Your actions will have consequences,
In time you will pay for your offenses.
You will see no sympathy.

And now we've come to an end,
And we've a message to send.
To the shit you've become,
This fucking friendship in done.

5. Darkseeker

With this world,
Enveloped in a wretched disease,
A virus that brought demise.

Hunting the beasts by day,
A cure I seek in their own blood.
This task, appointed to me.
I cannot fail,
Because everything will go to hell and perish.

I cannot fail,
Even if the world is falling down around me.
I cannot fail.

Abominations from the depths,
These creatures, once my family.
And now in my hands rests the future of the human race.
Oh god, I find myself in fear of my own shadow.
When will this end?

Hunting the beasts by day,
A cure I seek in their own blood.
This task, appointed to me.
I cannot fail.

This world is mine.

They will know my wrath and hate,
As their hideous lives I take. [x2]

6. The Illusionist (Pt. 1)

Your faith will cease.

Your church was invented to control it's people.
In the name of something greater than itself,
It demands your blind faith.
But nothing ever comes with ease.

Their lies will hide contradiction.
You must choose to see through the lines.

An institution founded on fear.
Obey a god or suffer so-called righteous wrath.
Your bible leaves too much to question.
There fails to be consistency.

What kind of god would you seek
that only brought destruction on his child?
And a jealous god who turned his back on man?

Where was your god,
When his own people bowed to their knees
And died at the hands of Hitler?
Where was your god,
When thousands of Christians were tortured and killed
At the hands of the inquisition?

Throughout the ages,
God has only shown us tribulation and fear.
Omnipotent, he won't save you.
God looks on carelessly as the whole world burns.

Tell me where your god is.
Tell me how he's worked in your life.
All I see is a path of destruction and unanswered prayers.

I've stood here idle and said nothing,
For far too long.
I'm here to warn you of a church that's done you wrong.
When everything falls down around you
And there's nothing left,
You will remember my words
And you will pay them heed.

7. For England, James

Your words are meaningless,
When no one can hear you scream.
Your apologies and excuses don't lessen this tragedy.

I will have your life in the palm of my hand.

You've brought this hell down on you.
And I smell your flesh boil.
You open your mouth to beg.
I rip the throat from your neck.
Your form now lies dismembered, unrecognizable.
The end of you will be seen as a blessing to all man kind.

I have brought your entire pathetic existence to a halt.

Your words are meaningless,
When no one can hear you scream.
Your apologies and excuses don't lessen this tragedy.

I'll sleep easier tonight,
Covered in your fucking blood.
In your blood, I will sleep [x2]

You're wasting your time,
If you think you'll make it out alive.
Your screaming only makes it that much sweeter. [x2]
And if you think there's any escape, you are mistaken.
The only way you'll leave here tonight is dead.

Your spilt blood flows like a river down my thirsty hands.
This lust satisfied only by your mutilation. [x2]
