The Talent of Deceit
04:46
|
|||
Lies, misery, a hatred in disguise
Tyranny in death, the ruler of the skies
Elysium, Paradise, lies for your denial
A lasting impression to fool the mind
Murder, conscience, a void of morality
Possession is mine, the talent of deceit
To inhabit a host, a soul in my command
The victim I seek is a mask for my hate
I have found a soul, the perfect host
A creature of comfort, afraid of his future
My murderous intent will drive him to his fate
Young and naive, ripe for the taking
In want of need, liberation in passing
I know the truth is an enemy of mine
Shut off your mind and come with me
Bow down to my creed, sgn on this line
I won't make you: You'll give up for free
Taking your heart, stealing your soul
Subversion to my cause: Give till it hurts
I have won the mercy of this man
The guilt, the power of despair
I am God to this fool
Mental degradation
Murder, conscience, a void of morality
Possession is mine, the talent of deceit
To inhabit a host, a soul in my command
The victim I own is a mask for my hate

Holy Words
06:11
|
|||
Seeping inside, corruption injection
My sinister cure, for your imagined infection
Guity pleasures, the key to your soul
Innocence betrayed, my toy for the taking
Blessed to decide, a burden of life
Believe as you do, that I am good
Deceived as you come, trust in my word
The demon and I, we will make good
Do as we say, my precious tool
As we command, enraptured you stand
Move as our hands, our power on earth
Question us not, for we are holy words
Lies and sedition
Terrify, deify
Inpsiration of chaos
The visage of a holy sight
Mirage, entropy
A fatal flaw in communication
Sell your soul to buy protection
Alas, eternal night
Lost in the forest of deceit
Trapped in a world of reduction
Wandering forever in a tide of despair
Lost in the caverns of the soul

[I]nvincible
05:47
|
|||
I -- invincible, conquest is mine
The soul I've conquered is limp willed to rebel
I -- irresistable, master and the slave
Domination and Servitude
with these hands my sins have made
Tearing apart this fleshy exterior
Ripping apart this slab of mankind
Stomach, esophagus in my grip
Nails scratch at a still beating heart
Murderous gore, a frenzied delight
enraptured in this animal conquest
The demon inside me screams in glee
covered in blood I'll see you die
Heart pounding, with animal lust
Mind crushing under pressure
I am a tool of the demon
I can't escape his will
I have taken control
Of this sickly soul
Yours to conquer, mine to enjoy
my hateful grip is unrelenting
You and I, we're undivided
So follow me in my hateful conquest
This isn't the plan, you betray my intent
Evil embodied, and you thought to trust?
Murder accomplished; some chaos inspires
On to my next task; forced carnal desires
I lure my prey deep down in my lair
I betray your trust and your virgin instinct
Naked and helpless you lay before me
You screams for mercy but serve to engorge me
Pleasure stabbing into your innocense
Mercilessly I bring you destiny
Have I lost control of my mind's capacity
Am I one, or have I been hijacked?
Deceiver deceived, a breach in contract
This monster lies within myself
Now, what is the truth?
Domination, or dominée?
Am I fated as the one?
Chaos enthroned, a death reminder
I've lost my grip on this soul
Betray my trust, stab in my back, I despise me
My worthless word is a guarantee of nothing, but
the horrible power of determination
Kill!

Your strength... admiration
Jealousy of your ambition, malady of my derision
Haunted corruption
You are the spirit of aggression, you can't escape my decision
Demon's conflict
I'm torn in two
The chains of remembrance bind me to your will
The spirit of aggression is tied to your desecration
I am -- the hero's conquest
Yet I feel drawn to her
What causes mental anguish
worse than a shattered mind
You must bow to me
My power is greater than you
Ambition you may bring
but hatred is divine
If you desire me
Set yourself free
The engine of hate
Needs its force
You know now the evil's mind
The monsters trap you can defy
To you the power, to you ability
The mind conquers all, if you dare think
The chains of remembrance bind me to your will
My spirit is ambition, am I tied to your desecration?
Don't you defy me, you'll beg for forgiveness
I am corruption and evil embodied
You dare to deny me, the source of your power?
I am action, my freedom is at hand
Set...
Bow down
Your...
To Hatred
Self...
To Evil
Free...
To Me
Set...
Bow Down
Your...
To me
Mind...
Ignore
Free...
The call
I am free!
The chains of remembrance have shattered before me
My spirit is ambition, I am free from hypocrisy
The chains of remembrance have shattered before me
My spirit is ambition, I am free from hypocrisy

The Heart's Betrayal
04:12
|
|||
The evil has shattered split in two
Your chance has come now, make a stand
I am not perfection nor a driving force
I can but guide you on the path of truth
Must I choose the strenuous path of good?
Can it be that I am destined to walk this road?
Don't betray me though your heart is tempted
Rise before me avoid this tempest's call
The fate of reason leads you safe to home
The heart's treason, betrayal of the mind
The monster's calling, an appeal to my weakness
Resist temptation, but can it be so bad?
The righteous mountain, the decrepit valley
Like water, I flow the path of least resistance
Your vile weakness, your fate has been sealed
Defaulting to evil by eliminiation
You've fallen from grace
Sitting by while evil does its work
The mind warned you and tried to show the way
You are a victim to the heart's betrayal

Travel with me
to the vast depths of hell
See my creation
the grand bait and switch
Torture, and hatred
The tools of negotiation
My promises of pleasure
The tool to stay the mind
Heaven's dark secret is my divine plan
Toil rewarded, soil diverted
The graveyard kingdom, still rotting flesh
Their paradise embodied in life as in death
Trapped by virtue, chained to the throne
Your payment comes later, your freedom at last
Death is your promise, eternity in stone
Spend your life to buy my love
pay off the debt, that I owe you
My trade is deception, the chains of guilt
My work is destruction, the craft of god
Now, you see
I am born of an insidious nature
We see now the depths of illusion
We remember now the chains that bound you
Now I know my fight
The final struggle in sight
The memory that trapped your heart
is lost...
The tyranny that finds us now
is vast...
My strength, your wisdom
Evil's bane, to slash illusion
The renaissance taught us much
Sadly so, we're quick to forget
The enlightenment of ages past
Lost to eternity
The power of the mind, the evil of divine
I challenge you, evil's form I challenge you, virtue's form

Servants of Liberty
05:09
|
|||
I am awake now
The spirit conquers, the hero guides
You will be vanquished
My fused soul, the alliance
My ambition, the hero's pride
No virtue is an island
United as one we will prevail
This heartless evil will be destroyed
[Chorus]
Fighting now, for our dying cause
We are servants of liberty
The ancient evil dies tonight
And we will be set free
Fighting now, for our dying cause
The enemy of your lost religion
Your callous heart, your crime undone
We are servants of liberty
Hatred for your vile hearts
Fuels me in my determination
My spirit is gone, the victim is worthless
My days are numbered, my time is short
The battle rages, I wilml fight on
I am invincible!
You are done
I will be victorious
You are done
I make my last stand!
[Chorus]
I will fight!
I will destroy you -- landing blow by blow
We retaliate -- A split attack by two
My armor cracking -- My hateful fire burns you
Your terrible decay -- Deflected by my shining resolve
I banish you to hell; my sorcery can not be countered
We disbeleive you and your illusion falters
United in twin resolve - dual attacks, your downfall
Now we strike at the heart of darkness
Fighting now, for our righteous cause
We are servants of liberty
The ancient evil has died tonight
And we are finally free
Fighting now, for our righteous cause
The enemy of your lost religion
Your callous heart, your crime undone
We are servants of liberty

The Memory Still Holds
05:17
|
|||
The battle is over, the beast has been slain
Evil conquered, vice dethroned
The struggle for good, Virtue and all
Heroic intent, vital decision
Forget not the battle of the mind
Rest not, deceit knows no time
Vigilance is virtue
Defend the precious hope
Bound in chains of memory
keep the fire burning
Memory: it binds us to a path f rightenousnesss
The last victory is but a holiday in struggle
Never forget the virtue required
Moral strength, and intense desire
My current appearance, fester and rot
Visions of enmity, terrifying hate
Powerless and chained, for now I am remembered
These chains will break, and I will be free again
The chains of remembrance bind the monsters will
The gift of liberation is precious and dear
Betrayal comes from within, disaster lay in treason
Our freedom will only live as long as the memory still holds
