(Places ready? Let's roll!) Smile for the camera, Smile little prey! Smile for the faceless crowd, Smile to the grave. Smile for the camera, Your face is looking blue- Can't have you passing out So I know what to do. Smile for the people Spread out far and wide Tuning on the internet To see your breakout line. Smiles for the victim From vultures hunting prey Now its time to cry, what do you have to say Die, die- I need you screaming for me Pulling tight the rope Finding it hard to breathe. Stab, stab- You're a real bleeding heart We're here to make a movie But the thing is You're dead from the start. Cut! Smile, smile Smile as you pray Smile for the camera While tears roll down your face. Don't try and play the victim this time Damsel in distress you're doing just fine. My you look so pretty, It truly is a shame- I'm here to take your life And I don't know your name! Die, die I need you screaming for me Pulling tight the rope Finding it hard to breathe. Stab, stab You're a real bleeding heart We're here to make a movie But the thing is You're dead from the start. We're here to make a movie But the thing is You're dead from the start.

Raised was I in a village Far from here, the crime. Young are my eyes to the ways of men And their brutal hands and minds. Enlisted was I in a village Burned and pillaged for me, Enslaved at the end of a rifle To die before I can be. Taken was I from my family And demanded to kill for war. A million broken families Lay shattered, forgotten, burned. Young are my eyes to pain To see so much suffering. Blood diamonds fill the pockets of the rich Burying bodies, how many different kids? Holding ground, sneak attack- Raiding a village who aren't fighting back. High on the powder, filling with rage Such young a mind for so much hate. Pillage and plunder, plunder and kill Raping and killing for another's will. Burning tears fall from the sun, A woman screams as the hyena run. A village is burning, it's paths run red. Marching feet of the living dead. Marching feet of the living dead. Raised was I in a village Far from here, the crime. Young are my eyes to the ways of men And their brutal hands and minds. Enlisted was I in a village Burned. Blood diamonds fill the pockets of the rich Burying bodies, how many different kids? Blood diamonds fill the pockets of the rich Burying bodies, how many different kids? Burying the bodies How many different kids?

Ghostways 04:17
Gone you've been gone So long, And yet here you fill my head? Gone you've been gone So long- Get out! Your face as I watched you drown. This misbegotten frown, My hands still feel your hair I still feel you there Haunting me everywhere. Get out of my head! Why can't you just stay dead? I watched the light leave your eyes. I watched you horrified, You died. Haunt, why do you haunt The hallways of my mind? I see you in every mirror, Your face looks just as clear. This misbegotten crown My hands still hold you down! Shadows dance in tattered gown Soaked and watered down. Faces in puddles I turn, Why won't you let me out? Remove your rotten fingers from my brain. Remove your rotten fingers from my brain. I watched the light leave your eyes. I watched you horrified, You died. You died! Haunt, why do you haunt The hallways of my imagination? I see you in every instance, Ghostways have become my existence. So long, And yet here you fill my head? Get out of my head. Get out of my head. Get out of my head!

The Passing 03:53
Stood by your side I'm here with you. I watch you sleep in between, Never sure of your return. I imagine your dreams of cosmic sheep, Dreams in the cosmic deep- The time is passing But I know You are leaving me here. I cannot keep you here. Stood by your side, I'm here with you. I watch you sleep in between Never sure of your return. Return! Stay! I'm stood here by your fading visage Colorless against what once was bright. Beautiful and once immaculate, Desecrated and robbed of light. The time is passing But I know I cannot keep you here But you are leaving me (Desecrated and robbed of light, The time is passing but I know-) Beautiful and once immaculate Desecrated and robbed of light. (And I'm not ready to wait for you there)

To whom this may concern, I've been watching you. I know who you are. I'm your friend to be. (I watch. I see) (Run) (Hide) Run! (Get away!) To whom you know this to be, You yes you, You belong to me! Call the police and see. I know you but you don't know me. I'm free and you're prisoner now! Prisoner to your own safety. Home is where the heart is And home is where you will bleed. To whom this may concern, I've been watching you. I know who you are And you don't know me. (There's no escape) (Run!) I watch you when you sleep. (never sleep) I see you when you cry. (cry cry cry) I trace you when you walk about, I want to see you die! I'm free and you're prisoner now! Prisoner to your own safety. Home is where the heart is (You will never escape!) And home is where you will bleed. (You will never escape!)

Violation 04:04
It's so hard to breathe I still feel the weight of your chest. Haunting me like a phantom Everyday is a fight for my best. I'll never be whole again. Stolen once and now forsaken, Water wash the filth away. All the pieces you've taken from me. Stolen all smiles and love Defiled like animal, Violated by your violent dreams. My world is an engulfing fire. Fueled by burning desire I beg to see you suffer. (Scream) And watch your people defiled As I have been defiled. Your ultimate denial As I have been denied. You can never replace what you have taken from me. You can never change What you have done to me. You can never replace- I despise the thought of you. What I wish I could do To make you feel how you made me feel too. All the pieces you've taken from me. Pulled apart at the seams Defiled like animal Shattered by your violent dreams.

I need, I see, I want, The cheaper the more I bought. It's made to be replaced, Born to become waste. I need, I see, you're mine- New releases for me to buy. They happen all the time Trained to cycle through every design. Don't think, don't care, don't hear! Subversion by dealings unclear. Psychology against your mind, Advertising by design. I need everything money can buy! Throw away last seasons old design. Piles are forming all the time Burying us all alive. Burning in someone's stove. Their children choke on smoke. Born defective in decay In A world smothered by waste. I need, I see, I want, The cheaper the more I bought. It's made to be replaced, Born to become waste. Avert your eyes to the pain Brought by your reckless spending. Pollution sends us all to the grave As millions slave away. I need. I see. I want, Taught to spend without second thought! Burning in someone's stove. Their children choke on smoke. Born defective in decay In A world smothered by waste. Don't think, don't care, don't hear! Subversion by dealing unclear. Psychology against your mind Advertising by design. Burning in someone's stove. Their children choke on smoke. Born defective in decay In A world smothered by waste.

Binding words of silence Heads held in the air Welding shields of violence Walls against despair. At war with ambivalence Back breaking indifference Callous opposition Reflecting real hell. Jailer of self damnation Condemned by bitter truths Pinned by swords of sadness Designed to make you lose Stagnate the blood above Stagnate the water below Drowned in sorrows we sow Witch hunts with our reason Nooses stocked with feelings Heads bent in anger Self reflections fading. Self flagellation Repenting inner lies Bleed through for salvation Saved by hollow cries God forbid the swords of submission Brought against the minds of men Recipients of your derision Cast into the dark again. Stagnate the blood above Stagnate the water below Drowned in sorrows we sow (Pinned by swords of sadness designed to make you lose) We sow. Binding words of silence Heads held in the air Welding shields of violence Walls against despair. At war with ambivalence Back breaking indifference Callous opposition Reflecting real hell. The lord giveth and the lord taketh away. Stagnate the blood above Stagnate the water below Drowned in the sorrows we sow. God forbid the swords of submission Brought against the minds of men.

S.T.A.R.S (Listen to me You need to leave to leave right now. It's coming and it's going to kill both of us and its not going to stop until we're dead. You need to get out of here Go!) (This is my last chance. My last escape.) September 28th daylight Somehow I'm still alive The city has fallen in the depths of night. Arklay personified I cannot wait This is my last escape Running through streets alight Bodies piled left and right Police cruisers left in the way (Past the bar Past their arms) City full of the walking dead Monsters chasing me again Hands reaching out from death I just need to fight I must survive What the hell is that thing Wrapped in black and seamed skin? Chasing me it calls from its disfigured jaws Pursuer in the night, my nemesis my blight Time to run or time to fight. This is my last escape (S.T.A.R.S) Searching for S.T.A.R.S in the night One target gone, the other verified Mission directive to find Valentine Find valentine Find valentine It's chasing me again Mutating, infection Hulking mass of walking death I have to fight I must survive If you want S.T.A.R.S I'll give you S.TA.R.S If you WANT S.T.A.R.S I'll give you S.T.A.R.S If you want S.T.A.R.S I'll give you S.TA.R.S If you WANT S.T.A.R.S I'll give you S.T.A.R.S (S.T.A.R.S)

The cockroaches make good companions When you're the living trash I feel at home with the maggots They and I, I see no difference. Another stale cigarette to add to this image I've gone and spilled another bottle I'm too lazy to care about my existence And I'm too far off the edge again I hold my breath until the panic hits I hold my breath until breathing quits How much can I drink before my liver quits? It's fucking pointless to care Because who the fuck cares about living anyway? I just want to drink myself to death. I just live to fuck and die. Story of a life Wasted Story of a life running out of time. I hold my breath until the breathing quits I hold my breath until panic hits Oh! Hold my breath The cockroaches make good companions When you're the living trash I feel at home with the maggots They and I, I see no difference. Another stale cigarette to add to this image I've gone and spilled another bottle I'm too lazy to care about my existence And i'm too far off the edge again I hold my breath until the panic hits I hold my breath until it quits

Waffenfabrik 03:33
Into the unknown Again we’ve arrived Darkness takes the world and submerges it in lies, Weapons in our hands Against the hordes of undead Hearing laughing voices all within my head. All within my head! Corpses smile amidst the rubble piles Fighting wave after wave. Beaten, bitten, surely to be eaten We're ready to meet in the grave. Teleporters sparking lightning in the night, Haunting faces putting up a fight Advanced weapons of war ignite Say goodbye to your life! All within my head Voices of the dead Telling me the secret That I will live again! Corpses laughing in the pale moonlight At the monkeys little chimes, Blood is flowing at the edge of my knife I'm not ready to die. Drink up for a bottle cap Double slaughter, double tap Fight them off, no turning back Reload, chamber, rack Reload, chamber, rack Panic, attack No one gets out alive No one will survive No one gets out alive No one cries when everyone dies Into the unknown Again we’ve arrived Darkness takes the world No one will survive

Taiyō 04:48
The sea sits calmly here And peacefully she breathes, Her caressing hands comfort fear Of nearing troubled seas. We spoil under the ever rising sun Recently the days have come Where storms are on the horizon The clouds have massed beyond the sun Obscuring what can be seen. I walk between the arches And float upon the sea. I walk between the arches And float upon the sea. The great Mandala spins far beyond the eye Chants come rolling in from the ever speaking tide. Voices whisper softly of comfort in my ear, Then scream until I cannot stand to hear. Voices whisper softly of comfort in my ear, Voices from the sea tell me trouble is near Then scream until I cannot stand to hear. (Shi) The great Mandala spins far beyond the eye The great Mandala spins far beyond the eye The great Mandala spins far beyond the eye Recently the days have come Where storms are on the horizon The clouds have massed beyond the sun Obscuring what can be seen. Embraced by the warmth So bright is the sun My eyes glow so radiant The circle becomes Encircling I'm breathless Spinning I am wind. Encircling I'm breathless Shining I am wind.
