VLAD LYRICS

1. The Undying Age

Immaculate, illuminate divine
Omnipotent and omniscient, I'm sent
Infinite, immortal, and eternal
I will live always, though I shed my skin in cycles

Changing and evolving through dying
Continuing living to succeed in learning
To be born with wisdom again into this world
With faith and hope we breathe to fulfill our roles

There is nothingness to drag you down
Focus on the chaos that becomes you now
Energize your world and make this come to life
If you will to flourish, you achieve your strife

2. Hostage Situation

Thoughts are flowing out like blood from us
Strangers are draining us of our progress
They're alien and they're foreign to us
Yet we are feeding them with our lifeforce
Choosing a life that is not worth leading
Dragged down by the chains of mental slavery
If we're upset, then we're labeled crazy
Take this pill, it will fix everything

We're held hostage by our money
Forced to bow down to our enemies
Fighting a war against far too many
Losing all battles to hierarchy
The privileged and the chosen few
Only survive from what we do
Stealing our time from us legally
Our human souls, the new currency

We turn away from our own dreaming
Our inner children are tortured, screaming
Begging to escape, to be released
From the cages we've been forced in
Breaking down into anxiety
Depression and anger start controlling
Our personalities and identities
False perception of reality

3. Evil Eye

Sense of purpose falsified
Through the eyes of living lies
Discontented with your mind
They're just waiting for you to die
They'll pretend to be your friend
Then they will worm their way in
Getting underneath your skin
You only lose if you let them win

Drunk on their self righteousness
All but their selves are dismissed
They think that karma's just a myth
Until they sink down in the pit
Perceiving everything as flaws
Vomiting opinions from their jaws
You turn your back, they show their claws
They're praying to God that you fall

Evil eye
Evil I

If you asked, they'd gladly help
You dig your grave and bury yourself
They'd love you to burn in Hell
Insecure, inside their shell

Pseudo-living and dead inside
These egotistical people are blind
They have no life, so they want yours
To be extinguished, and buried in dirt
[2x]

Evil eye
Evil I

4. Synthetic Sight Of Soul

The animal known as man
Is the pinnacle of hate
For all of the good in this world,
There must be balance
We even out the scales
With our evil actions
There must be another way
To live on this planet

With the gods watching our every step,
Spectating our every breath
We speculate their existence,
As they do ours
How dare we scrutinize
Those which created the skies
They who made the grounds we walk
We are mistaken

All dimensions meet as one
All gods become singular
Our world is so small
How can you call yourself a god?
[2x]

5. Paradoxical Paradigm

The promised land is at your feet
Life and death are but a dream
This planet gives you everything
To eat and sleep and live and breathe
Yet you think it's not enough,
You believe Heaven's a bluff
A constant search for someplace else,
Perhaps you seek entrance to Hell?

There is no cost for transcendence
It's wonders are within your hands
A tool given to us for free,
To help us know reality
Yet you feel it's not enough,
In this practice you don't trust
You'd rather satisfy your lust
Than be thankful for the gods' love

There is nothing beyond this plane,
This should not cause you disdain
If it does, look past your pain
This whole world is inside of your brain
[2x]

Think of anything at all
Imagination is the law
All exists within the mind
Paradoxical paradigm
[2x]

6. Your Absence, My Light

Jealousy incarnate
Wrapping tendrils around me
Sucking me into it's vortex
Their eyes wide open
Watching my moves,
They crawl on their bellies
Writhing for a fix like a junkie

Trying to steal my name,
Accept that which you don't have
Do not crave for wealth,
All the riches of this world are shit
Your hands left empty
You must feel so proud
All of your work was in vain

Triumph of vanity
Obsession of self
Narcissistic,
Your ego devours
[2x]

I have told you once before,
"Believe in the dark
It lurks beyond your sight"
Just as the truth escapes you,
Receptacle of lies
Synthetic stimuli
Your grounds are crumbling
Beneath your stubborn feet

Triumph of vanity
Obsession of self
Narcissistic,
Your ego devours
[2x]

7. Intermission

[Instrumental]

8. Liar

God is indifferent, an insane agent of chaos
You believe in order - the void is responsible
All that can't be explained must be phenomena
To the simplest of minds, science provides all answers
Constantly changing patterns,
Would you even notice the shrinking and expanding of universal matter?
Affecting your surroundings, the gravity of nothing
You would never notice this transmogrifying process
You are a part of chaos, paradox divine
You really do know nothing, acceptance is understanding
The omniverse is endless through all of it's dimensions
If you claim to know this, you must be a liar

Liar!

You may be a Christ, you may know one self
You may have transcended earthly knowledge
You underestimate with all of your wisdom,
The truest form of life; the primal essence of God
[2x]

Liar!
[2x]

9. I Giveth, I Taketh Away

I am the master of energy and matter
Higher dimensional, I encompass all mass
I am the gravitational pull of all worlds
All is held together purely by my word
This reality only exists in my mind
I am the creator, I am the destroyer
I giveth all gifts, and I taketh away
I create the night, I command the day

There is no triumph, there is no defeat
There is glory in torture, there is pain in victory
Progress is achieved only through my will
If I were to command it, all would be still

Death is no escape, only transformation
Life is never certain beyond my creation
Interaction with my vision in eradication is the sole communication of all sensation

My will is law, I am that I am
All existence abides only by my divine plan
[4x]

10. Prototype

I possess a body, disguised as a mortal
Every time I die, I become ever stronger
Animating flesh, archaic sacred art
I am Leviathan, I am Belial
Lurking in the depths, and flying through the sky
I am soul eternal, I will never die
I conquer in the art of feasting off the dead
I am Lucifer, I am Satan

Human beings never were supposed to be worshipped
They are prototypes, new in their creation
Aeons have flown by, and you are still God's children
Everything you know of self is an illusion
You cannot reach me, I dream with the dead gods
Hidden in the shadows, you are being watched
All your monuments you constructed in vain,
If you do not praise them with my name!

You are no messiah, nor a deity
You are the creation of a higher consciousness than 'me'
You wish to be followed, but you have nowhere to lead
If I cared enough, I would make you bleed
I would fertilize the ground with your rotten blood
I would feed your flesh to the maggots you disgust
I would take your bones and kill your family with them,
To repeat the cycle forever again!

I would fertilize the ground with your rotten blood
I would feed your flesh to the maggots you disgust
I would take your bones and kill your family with them,
To repeat the cycle forever again!
[2x]

Praised be your master, you are a monster
A failed experiment by a genius architect
Your lives are just a trial, a testing period
To see if you are worthy, or better off dead

Prototype

11. Witchy Woman

You lying bitch, you evil witch
You made me trust you
Under your spell you learned from Hell
I care nothing for you
You cheated death, now you're depressed
So you feed on me
You play your game, now keep my name
Far away from your lips, witchy woman

You sell out your identity because you have many others
Lies are your name, you worthless brat
You abuse your powers
I would burn you at the stake, but I'd want to do it again
I would butcher you with knives, but I'd want to do it again

I'd tear off all of your limbs and beat you to death with them
But I would want to hear forever your last dying breath
I'd rip off your skin and wear it, but I'd want you to see me do it
I'd take a hammer and smash your skull, but I'd want you alive to feel it

I would rip out your heart and eat it, and witness your face as you die
But nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
[4x]

12. I Wish I Were Evil

My bravery has led me to nothing
My chivalry has taken me nowhere
For all the times that I have been there,
No one reciprocated care
For all of the times I've been left waiting,
The wait has been for naught
Every time I'm given a lesson,
This is all I've ever been taught-

I wish I were evil
I wish I never even cared
I wish that this life was deleted
That I could vanish into thin air

I wish I were evil
I wish I never had loved
I wish there were Heaven above,
So I could never be involved

My restraint has left me empty handed
My control was only an illusion
My kindness has only made me suffer
Now I'd rather die alone than a lover
My attempts to live amongst you humans
Has only given me endless reasons
To abandon this world full of nothing,
Even if my inner child is screaming for something

I wish I were evil
I wish I never even cared
I wish that this life was deleted,
That I could vanish into thin air

I wish I were evil
I wish I never had loved
I wish there were Heaven above,
So that I could never be involved
