You once stood tall.
You once stood proud
Look at you now, another face in the crowd.

Your own arrogance was your downfall.
I’ll shed no tears for you.
I’m glad to see you crawl.

I am perversion and decay.
I am hatred and greed.

And now you recoil from me.

I need to separate, to divide,
Before I take you down with me.
Perhaps I’m too sick to pray,
Or not sick enough to.
It’s too late for me.

Fate is nothing more than lies;
A false way to prophesize.
And the weakness of humanity
Was born from its own disease.

I don’t know you,
And I don’t want to
If you’re everything that I’ve seen.
You won’t listen,
Or be forgiven,
Before you lose everything you are.

I have learned from the human race,
That the way to live is lie.
Cities fall and crumble to the ground,
And your god is nowhere to be found.
The scent of death will fade away in time.

Faceless horde of hell.
I am in chains.
Nothing left to tell.
I am to blame.

A world of darkness,
A world of sacrifice,
A world of angels,
The world of Cyberchrist.

Live in fear.
Live in hate.
Live in agony.
This is your fate.

I took the life from your world.
Potent, unforgiving.
I took the knife from your hand
And placed it in your blackened heart.

The screams the damned are disguised by their form,
As they soar through the night
And the torturing storm.
Shadows move from place to place
And no one in this world is safe from hell.

So many complications.
So many limitations.
All lead to confrontations,
And violations of trust.
