| 1. Deliver The Suffering
Screams fill the night
Cries fall upon deaf ears
Another one dies
Shattering pain life ending in tears
Controlled by torture
Pain and punishment are one and the same
Violent circle
Stakes are high when playing my game
Screams fill the day
This pain you cannot esc |

You have no choice
With Tyraninol your mind I rape
My Innocence
Will constantly deceive you
To you a saviour
Together we can destroy ourselves
My life is evil
I bring you pain
I will deliver the suffering
Once again
You feel the inner pain
Terrorized
By the need for suffering
Inject the venom
Kiss the flesh of death
From my control
Slave of pain now put to rest
Your antedote
For life I have prescribed
No resistance
From inside I watch you die
My life is evil
I bring you pain
I will deliver the suffering
2. Freewill
Frozen in time vicious crime
Take away the misery inside of me
Dark shadows of destiny
Run rampant like a river of wounds through my mind
Solitude my relief
My belief in this life of seclusion
Signs of life bitter strife
Reality slowly fades into illusion
Why must I die
Trying to satisfy
Freewill my life is mine to live
Freewill I've nothing left to give
Hidden thoughts inside of me
Wounds that will not heal
Take the power from me
As I see just what is real
Living by my standards
I decide just what is right
You won't take me down
For my belief till death I'll fight
I'm a victim of my fears
Wash the blood away with tears
Through the pain and anguish
I've battled through the years
I look into the mirror
Of death each growing day
In your eyes an outcast
Why don't you listen to what I say
Why must I die
Trying to satisfy
Freewill my life is mine to live
Freewill I've nothing left to give
3. Forsaken Hatred
A life of hate through trials of fate
Feel despair, beckon for the truth
Suffering the fear of pain
Inside of me I cannot escape
Hidden feelings suffocation
Mental surge excruciating
Anger burns inside of me
As I live forsaken hatred
Time can't heal emotional scars
Brought to life by emotional scars
Illusion seen through eyes of fear
Trying to make this hell disappear
Hidden feelings suffocation
Mental surge excruciating
Anger burns inside of me
As I live forsaken hatred
Agony appeals to me
I can't escape the pressure
So I slowly fade away
Sanity, tranquility
Pleading for the time
When my mind and soul are free
Life of pain and misery
I've chosen my path
I now await my fate
Infinite suffering
After forever will I still be me
Hate in my eyes is the way
Ridding myself of internal decay
Change is constant as I see
Permanent will never be
Clinging tight to the end
Is my life an eternal sin
Life I've seen now disappear
Drowning in a sea of fear
Reality fades away
Shattered life hate and dismay
Anger burns inside of me
As I die
Hidden feelings
Mental surge excruciating
Anger burns inside of me
As I live forsaken hatred
4. Souls Of Sacrifice
Souls of black
Lives of hatred and scorn
Fire of darkness
Dwelling deep in the mind
Blasphemous lies
Like blood on a double-edge sword
Denying the cross
Mocking the one they call Lord
Evil lives everywhere
Come with me meet hate and despair
Will I live of will I die
Weak must perish, the strong will survive
Seeking death
Torment through suicide
At one with Satan
The evil one lives inside
Sacrilege
So foolish is your way
In fire and brimstone
Now you eternally rot away
You worship Satan
Prepare to die
Eternally black
Souls of sacrifice
You worship Satan prepare to die
Eternally black souls of Sacrifice
Walk through the gates into flames of hell
And you see that God prevails
Souls of black
Lives of hatred and scorn
Fires of darkness
Dwelling deep in the mind
Blasphemous lies
Like blood on a double-edge sword
Denying the cross
Mocking the one they call Lord
Evil lives everywhere
Come with me hate and despair
Will I live or will I die
Weak must perish, the strong will survive
5. Idolatry
Born to serve I cannot see
Life of pain trying to execute me
Tribulation persecution of the weak
Souls are lost jest to satisfy the hunger
Immortal blood of those upon my hands
Seeking refuge the promised holy land
Eternity is the price worth the cost
Servant slays the master
Life is of no value
I worship what I hold close to my heart
Master, please don't betray me
I pray your words will find their place in me
There I was among the dead
The point was clear as the blood was running red
For an instant I was alone
A thousand years time refuses to unfold
I worshipped one like myself to put the blood to the test
See me, free me, save me, please take me
I gave you life, you choose to die
But now you're free, forsaken me
Idolatry, idolatry
Can't you see it's killing me the pain inside
From my feelings I can't hide
I chose my fate now it's too late life is gone
Hellish memories linger on
I walk alone into the dark
Bleeding heart now torn apart
Sacrifice the dying one
Hells is here nowhere to run
Hypnotize and mesmerize
Eyes of fire seen in disguise
Father grant my last desire
Release my soul from the fire
Life is of no value
I worship what I hold close to my heart
Master, please don't betray me
I pray your words will find their place in me
There I was among the dead
The point was clear as the blood was running red
For an instant I was alone
A thousand years time refuses to unfold
I worshipped one like myself to put the blood to the test
See me, free me, save me, just kill me
6. Legacy Of Faith
You made us in your image
Or did we make you in ours
The quest for pure supremacy
Now we've limited your powers
Take your place begin the ceremony
I represent all that's righteous and holy
Humanity bow down before me
Desecration of life
Father please forgive me
For I know not what I do
Confessing to another
Will tils release my sin against you
My sanctuary
Is rapidly becoming sanctimonious
Through my eyes
Cast into an archaic mold
Afterlife will not suffice
Born to die pay the price
Take my hand I plant the seed
As the ritual now proceeds
Save me from my fall from grace
Victim of innocence legacy of faith
Kneel to a god you don't know
Finding comfort for your soul
Before the alter you now stand
Drink the blood of the dying lamb
Crucifix and statues show
Ritualistic minds begin to flow
Image of the intangible
The thoughts you can't behold
Afterlife will not suffice
Born to die pay the price
Take my hand I plant the seed
As the ritual now proceeds
Save me from my fall from grace
Victim of innocence legacy of faith
7. Subconcious
Existing in my mind
Thoughts I can't control
Altered state of being
Confusion takes its toll
The mental struggle
Of mind and body are one
Oblivious to the moment
When peace of mind sets in
Is it real is it a dream
Can't open my eyes I cannot scream
A parasite dwelling inside my head
Devouring my mind life hanging from a thread
Is there another inside of me, deep within my mind
Without a trace of life blood I see but I am blind
This can't be reality
Fighting for my sanity
Though I try I can't break free
From this thing controlling me
Subconscious-The war inside my head
Subconscious-Twisting into form
Subconscious-Prisoner of pain
Subconscious-The war rages ever on
8. Never Believe
Before the dawn one of you will betray me
For you my unholy brother better off if you weren't born
For tonight the prophecy will be fulfilled
Strike down the leader and the people will scatter
Sold my life for a price and now my blood lays on your hands
High priests have gathered
To arrange false evidence and crucify
Send forth no more witnesses
We have ruled against this blasphemer
Your saviour is worthy of death
Awaiting the fate of the world
Release the notorious prisoner
And leave the righteous to die
Betrayal of life you stole
My life you sold away
The world weighs on your shoulders
Repent or take the blame
Never believe open arms set to deceive
Never believe at the altar I prepare to die
Honesty means nothing you've proven that to me
I can see right through you scarred for life you'll always be
Hypocrite until the end yours was by far the superior sin
Epitome of corruption let the cycle of life begin
I can see you fighting, fighting for what's right
Through trials and tribulation you're better off to die
Living for yourself observing no-one else
Faith and comfort bring pain and misery
As my life does end look to begin again
Try not to pretend taking sin after sin
Now I see the way life's paved with bitter hate
Looking to the sky my soul begins to cry
Accept life's final plea of which to set me free
Though it's not meant to be denying honesty
Your saviour is worth of death
Awaiting the fate of the world
Release the notorious prisoner
And leave the righteous to die
Never believe open arms set to deceive
Never believe at the altar prepare to die
