MALEFICE LYRICS

1. The Midas Effect

The greed compels you to sell your soul for wealth
Blinded by materialistic and selfish views
With not a moment to spare you wish your life away again
So let the darkness consume you you tied the rope yourself
And what you really want is not always what you will get
With not a moment to spare I watch you sign your life away

Be careful what you wish for lest it comes true
Punished for his temptation the Midas touch finally opened his eyes
I watch events unfold the curse of the touch of gold

So you get what you ask for an unspoken truth
Money cannot buy you everything especially respect
With not a moments haste your world comes crashing down on you

Reverse this and disperse this an overwhelming sense of regret
Another liar to rely on what more else can you expect?
Awaken from this trance pull yourself together
Engage your mind remove all fantasy

2. Abandon Hope

Cross me once more fool me cross me twice and you bleed
No time for morals my reputation intact I am still here when you are not looking
I may lay dormant my guard is never down
Betray everything again I have to pick up the pieces of everything you have lost

A shadow casts across my face I am already forgotten
The limelight shifts and no one hears my voice
I have gone and lost my way searching for some guidance
The shadow moves the light burns my eyes
So fickle I cannot please everyone I will do what I want
Right now my enemies kept close to the edge of a knife
Betray everything again I have to pick up the pieces of everything you have lost

Again I am cast so far away
Reaching for answers I am blind to abandon hope
Now all hope is lost I have failed you
Again I am cast so far away
Reaching for answers I am blind to abandon hope

3. An Architect Of Your Demise

Come to terms with what you are ultimately you have failed yourself
You make your own luck in this world that's something you are short on
That's your problem now nothing from me, you are on your own
Thank you for nothing so walk your own mile and see how far it is I have come
Here is a self made man so it can be done
You are an architect of your own demise

Use a mirror as a tool it is now time to reflect my friend
I have carried you this far I owe you nothing more
You cannot stop that burning that feeling
Embarrassed by everything you have done
Now your stomach churns that sickness you feel it
Resented by everything you love you cannot live like this
Here is a self made man so it can be done
You are an architect of your own demise

Why won't you wake up when will you see what I see
Here is a self made man so it can be done
You are an architect of your own demise

4. End Of Days

Our death comes from above a sight for all to witness
We all knew that this day would come but we prayed it would not
Clouds of destruction mask the sun every action has a reaction
And the brightness blinds me
Fills me with misery and everyone will suffer

The ground it opens up and it swallows us whole
There is no time to think yet our sins we repent
And now our bodies return to the Earth
It is time to give back what we took
And the brightness blinds me
Fills me with misery and everyone will suffer

End of days tried for the crimes of a generation
It is too late for excuses we are already dead
Her vengeance rains down a population helpless
Our whole world turns to dust some say we deserve it
We have bitten the hand that kindly feeds our smite on existence
And the brightness blinds me
Fills me with misery and everyone will suffer

5. Human Portrait

Here we have Hell in the purest form
The chain of command breaks no longer in control
This is my major weakness I care too much sometimes
I only trust my judgement I am just determined
I know I am far from perfect old habits die hard
I am desperate to prove myself to everyone
I am human after all

I will be the first to admit it I sometimes interfere
I promise you it is only because I care
I am not here to glorify myself this is a kind of confession
I need to get this off my chest so I can breathe again
I am aware that it happens it is my obsession
I know I am far from perfect old habits die hard
I am desperate to prove myself to everyone
I am human after all

I will pain a perfect picture of myself today
It is my time to reflect it is my time to see
To reflect on myself, the colour surrounds me
I watch in despair it is time to look at myself
Assess the situation, highlight my weaknesses
Sometimes I need to let go take a step further back now
I cannot let this fall apart this means too much to me now it is my obsession
I know I am far from perfect old habits die hard
I am desperate to prove myself to everyone
I am human after all

6. As I Bleed

As the birth of a new day touches my skin I inhale deeply I feel so alive
Contempt in my existence, ready for another challenge
With a broad set of shoulders I will take on the world
Watch me bleed for you
I am getting closer than I have been before
We will get there in the end

I am not ashamed of who I am
I have learnt my lessons the hard way
A man that dwells, is a man that fails
It is not about who is right or wrong it is about your happiness
I have a desire to make you proud
Watch me bleed for you
I am getting closer than I have been before
We will get there in the end

Bleeding for you waiting for resolve I need to do something for myself once and for all
The waves come crashing down I am knocked straight off my feet
With no body in sight, I will pick myself up
It is the same old story a shoulder to cry on the roles reverse I am left to rot
Watch me bleed for you
I am getting closer than I have been before
We will get there in the end

7. When Embers Ignite

As embers ignite in my soul I feel so fucking helpless
Today is like any day nothing is ever straight forward
Another failed plan another sacrifice
They pull together to bring me down
And it feels like that nothing changes
I cannot stop these feelings inside of me I cannot dull them
The walls come crashing in the chaos repeats

I walk a tightrope now wait for me to fall
Another friendly face strips me of dignity
A vicious circle rolls around and around
I cannot stop these feelings inside of me I cannot dull them
The walls come crashing in the chaos repeats

Hear these words I speak from the heart
Embers fall the fire ignites
They pull together to bring me down
And it feels like that nothing changes
I cannot stop these feelings inside of me I cannot dull them
The walls come crashing in the chaos repeats

8. Retribution

A simple act of destruction where did logic go
You coward no pity for fools
No thought for your victims running for their lives
Your gun your choice paint the town fucking red
The blueprint for death perfectly constructed
A quick end for most an easy way out
Another man made solution a purpose built retribution
The voices in our head can be a danger to us all
Do not let them speak for you

A punishment your silence now speaks volumes
You cannot think you cannot feel
With a heart already dead a predator emerges
Your gun your choice paint the town fucking red
The blueprint for death perfectly constructed
A quick end for most an easy way out
Another man made solution a purpose built retribution
The voices in our head can be a danger to us all
Do not let them speak for you

These evil faces lurk deep inside the minds of everyone
These evil faces lurk deep inside the minds of all of us
These evil faces lurk deep inside the minds of everyone
These evil faces lurk deep inside the minds of everyone
From man to monster with evil intent all innocence is lost driven to violence
A punishment for all those times that no one ever listened
Your gun your choice paint the town fucking red
The voices in our head can be a danger to us all
Do not let them speak for you

9. Hatred Justified

There is mass disbelief as our capital shook
With ample warning none of which was taken
Are we the ones to blame but that is hardly the point
Conspiracies forgotten and heroes shine

Hate justified take some time to remember the lives that were lost
Our spirit has been broken now but our hearts remain the same
And the scenes from this day paint a perfect picture of us
Hatred justified against all the odds heroes shine right to the end united as one

Hundreds of meters beneath our feet
Our people subjected to absolute horror
Praying they will wake up that this was just a bad dream
A nation looks on in disbelief

Lining up running away as the tunnels consume them
Chased by a fires embrace a polluted atmosphere

10. Sickened

The theft of a life the bringer of pain
Appearance is nothing we all bleed the same
Another waste a tragedy I did not know them, that does not matter
Embraced by a feeling of sorrow a nation speaks her name
With such a short time until tomorrow this feeling will last forever

With no excuse may they burn
Sickened throwing a life away
Sickened this would not be the last we see
Sickened you are poison in purity
Sickened a modern day tragedy
Embraced by a feeling of sorrow a nation speaks her name
With such a short time until tomorrow this feeling will last forever

What a world we live in and the double standards suffocate
Another sense of injustice another guilty party hidden
Embraced by a feeling of sorrow a nation speaks her name
With such a short time until tomorrow this feeling will last forever
