Track Lyrics
Electric Crown Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
Here we go, the people show
Victims of tomorrow
The way it goes, it never shows
Emptiness or sorrow
There is nothing left inside
Nothing left to cry for
So I justify my crimes
Things that I must die for
[Short Instrumental Break]
So alone, away it goes
The life that you have wasted
You never know where it might go
The sweet success you've tasted
Tested by a bitter frown
Knowing I must die for
Can't confide to all the lies
No one to inquire
As I wander, change of seasons
As I realise that I'll soon be there
I'll let you know, the reapers show
Makes you beg or borrow
He comes to see the tragedy
His fate he will not follow
Wearing your electric crown
The preacher starts to pray
Shiver as the lights go down
Heed these words I say
As I wander, change of seasons
I can't ponder, got my reasons
As I realise I don't care
All I know is that I'll soon be there
[Instrumental Break]
Now it's done, the time has come
The people stand in silence
Another dawn has come and gone
His fate has been decided
There is no one left inside
A brain without mind
Traces of a bitter man
Are all that you will find
As I wander, change of seasons
I can't ponder, got my reasons
As I realise I don't care
All I know is, that I'll soon be there
And I'll soon be there
And I'll soon be there
And I'll soon be there
Let Go of My World Lyrics
4 ContributorsLet Go of My World LyricsListen now to my sordid tale
My words they speak to you
They testify
You can't deny
You see it's oh so true
I dwell in thoughts
Of the universe
What's immortality ?
It's said to be
The lies they breed
The pages start to bleed
How can this be ?
Let go of my world
Let it go...
Touch my soul
With subliminal sin
Deceptions they induce
Ingest the lies
Dissect the mind
You can't control the youth
Enslave the free
With conformity
Oppression takes its toll
Hey little man
Who are you
To try to take control
Of my soul...
Let go of my world
Let me go...
Bleed me dry
Read between the lies
Filter out the truth
Pick at my brain
Brand me insane
I know what I must do
Take my life into my own hands
My sins I will atone
If I don't try
I will reside
Inside a mental home
Home sweet home...
Let go of my world
Let it go...
As the Seasons Grey Lyrics
[Chorus]
Die
A little more
A little more for every day
Lord why
Oh tell me why
Do the seasons slowly grey?
Days of blue just turn to grey
The picture slowly aging
Nothing left to the memory
Death will not forsake them
God fearing people say
They're not afraid of dying
So why do they turn to faith
When faith has no meaning in life?
Time worn, worn time
Say goodbye to yesterday
After life, life after
It's all the same
The golden years bring out the pain
Death rolls in like the seasons change
You've lost all hope but still you pray
Aging eyes that fail to see
The mirror has been shattered
Death's knocking on their door
A vision filled with laughter
I know that time grows old
Can't stop the seasons
And as the end draws near
The story's over before it's begun...
[Chorus]
Die
A little more
A little more for every day
Lord why
Oh tell me why
Do the seasons slowly grey?
The Sermon Lyrics
3 ContributorsThe Sermon LyricsSuit up for destruction
Death looks behind many faces
Hatred plants it's deepest seed
In the most obvious places
Symbols of allegiance
Chaos spells devotion
Evil is their sanction
The master plan is set in motion
Oh yeah !!
What the hell are you proud of ?
Heads held low
Self respect must be earned
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
You're going blind
Now let it flow...
Waiting to deliver
Imposing martial laws of pain
Kkk or cia
They are one and all the same
Chorus
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
You're going blind
Can't get to me
Or abuse me
Your racist tears will amuse me
And then you'll bleed...
Now let it flow...
Charismatic leaders
Preach their sermons of ignorance
Please take heed soon my friends
Promises won't cleanse the sins
Chorus
Troubled Dreams Lyrics
[Chorus]
Starring off into the sky
Down on myself
Loneliness brings my demise
Oh, what a nightmare
Here we go!
Leave me be; why must I please them
When I can't even please myself?
Deep in thoughts but I still feel so
Lost in endless despair
[Chorus]
Starring off into the sky
Down on myself
Loneliness brings my demise
Oh, what a nightmare
Here we go!
As you soon realize
The nights so black I feel blind
Should I keep wandering on
On and on and on
There's just one thing you should know
No, I can't take it no more
Two wrongs don't make it right;
Right or wrong, I can't take it
And in the end you will find
Find me a peace of mind
Forever lost severing my thoughts
From the dream I must seek
Time to end this aggravation
The nomad spirit lives in me
[Chorus]
Starring off into the sky
Down on myself
Loneliness brings my demise
Oh, what a nightmare
Here we go!
As you soon realize
The nights so black I feel blind
Should I keep wandering on
On and on and on
There's just one thing you should know
No, I can't take it no more
Two wrongs don't make it right;
Right or wrong, I can't take it
And in the end you will find
Find me a peace of mind
