ed
From man's words I'm given life
Through loss I only gain

For you I feel no sympathy
No sorrow, no remorse
Confess your sins to me
They'll be taken by force

It doesn't matter what you've done
In my words you are a sinner
For every word you say to me
In every way you are a sinner

It doesn't matter what you've done
In my words you are a sinner
For every word you say to me
In every way you are a sinner

Question me not
I am the one that binds this world
You follow without sight
I grow stronger every day

Take the souls I have damned
Burn them in my name
These are the burning times
The years of pain

It doesn't matter what you've done
In my words you are a sinner
For every word you say to me
In every way you are a sinner

It doesn't matter what you've done
In my words you are a sinner
For every word you say to me
In every way you are a sinner



Melancholy (holy martyr)

(Schaffer)

Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
For years I've tried to teach
But their eyes are empty

Empty too I have become
For them I must die
A sad and troubled race
An ungrateful troubled place

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die

Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for

Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
The things I've said and done
Don't matter to anyone

But still you push me to see
Something I can never be
Why am I their shattered king?
I don't mean anything

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die

Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die

Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I'll die for



Disciples of the lie

(Schaffer)

You abuse and you victimize
But you're dignified so you justify
It's in your eyes where deception lies
So you criticize with cruel eyes

Father in black, black as sin
Pure hypocrisy to no end
Condemnning me and my fellow man
I live my life among the damned

I've gotta do as you say, not as you do
You're a man of the cloth and I'm coming for you
You say you can save me, cleanse me of my sin
A holy predator, the wolf in sheep skin

See pain in my eyes
Disciples of the lie

Breeding fear in your twisted smile
Pedophile in denial
I taste revenge when I think of you
A life of hell you put me through

When I find you I'll take you out
No remorse, you're going down
You see satisfaction in my eyes
I vindicate, now you die

I've gotta do as you say, not as you do
You're a man of the cloth and I'm coming for you
You say you can save me, cleanse me of my sin
A holy predator, the wolf in sheep skin

See hatred in my eyes
Disciples of the lie

The blackness inside overwhelms me
The pain engulfs and turns to rage in me
Trapped so deep in my mental hell
Release the demons, set me free

I've gotta do as you say, not as you do
You're a man of the cloth and I'm coming for you
You say you can save me, cleanse me of my sin
A holy predator, the wolf in sheep skin

I've gotta do as you say, not as you do
You're a man of the cloth, I'm coming straight for you
You say you can save me, cleanse me of my sin
A fucking predator, the wolf in sheep skin

Disciples of the lie



Watching over me

(Schaffer)

I had a friend many years ago
One tragic night he died
The saddest time of my life
For weeks and weeks I cried

Through the anger and through the tears
I've felt his spirit through the years
I'd swear he's watching me
Guiding me through hard times

I feel it once again
It's overwhelming me
His spirit's like the wind
The angel guarding me

Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me

We shared dreams like all best friends
Blood brothers at the age of ten
We lived reckless, he paid the price
But why? Why did he have to die?

It still hurts me to this day
Am I selfish for feeling this way?
I know he's an angel now
Together we'll be someday

I feel it once again
It's overwhelming me
His spirit's like the wind
The angel guarding me

Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me

I feel it once again
It's overwhelming me
His spirit's like the wind
The angel guarding me

Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me



Stand alone

(Schaffer/Barlow)

Listen not to ones who preach
Those who feel you're a freak
Everything about you's wrong
You must be sick, you don't belong

Father said "Worry not what they say
Use your mind, your own free will"
In a time when everyone follows
Ignorance can kill

They only say what they want you to hear
Half truths have been twisted to conceal your fate
In a world of spoon fed emotion
Intelligence can save

Stand alone, stand alone
Stand alone - hear what I say
Stand alone, stand alone
Stand alone - you will seize the day

Son, say what you mean, don't be afraid
Tell them how you feel, hear what I say
Be true to yourself and true to your own
Your spirit will crush their hearts of stone

Stand alone, stand alone
Stand alone - hear what I say
Stand alone, stand alone
Stand alone - it's a leap of faith

Stand alone, stand alone
Stand alone - listen to what I say
Stand alone, stand alone
Stand alone - you will seize the day



Consequences

(Schaffer)

As human beings we're a complex thing
Sometimes so beautiful, other times so vain
We've built an empire, the blood is on our hands
Genocide and the chains that bind the consequence ahead

Oh, you ought to know
Oh, you ought to know

Wrote about in history as if it's all OK
A race of people murdered, another one enslaved
Now our world crumbles, it's happening within
Open your eyes and realize the world we're living in

Oh, you ought to know
Oh, you ought to know

If we could focus on important things
Live and let live true freedom, not everyone's the same
No more war for your God, no more war for your race
It's our world, it's what we make it, make it a better place

Oh, you ought to know
Oh, you ought to know

We can change the world
That we're living in
Live and let live true freedom
Let the reign begin



My own savior

(Schaffer/Barlow/Morris)

My only comfort is in death
My only solace, my dying breath
For release I have prayed
Thrown past life, not afraid

Life's a bitch, life's a whore
Nothing less, nothing more
There is nothing she would do for me
I will end this suffering

Existence of one man
Hatred with no end

My madness, my sadness
I am my own savior

The voices are calling
Out of this life I'm falling
There is one choice that I see
In raging flames the dark one awaits

Existence of one man
Hatred with no end

My madness, my sadness
I am my own savior
My madness, my sadness
I am my own savior



Reaping stone

(Schaffer/Barlow/McDonough)

There is a place far from her home
She strayed her path too long
And in that wood she found the stone
Lost souls should never look upon

At first glance a lone monolith
Lifeless, cold and grey
She looked in deep this timeless relic
The lost fall easy prey

Come into my world, my child
And I will take you home
I'm your reaping stone

Come into my world, my child
And I will take you home
I'm your reaping stone

Think not of ones you've lost
Nor of ones you leave
I shall give you strength to pass
I will set you free

Come into my world, my child
And I will take you home
I'm your reaping stone

Come into my world, my child
You'll never be alone
I'm your reaping stone

Blessed are you

(Schaffer)

Pure ambition burns in me
It's a beast never to be tamed
The only peace I can find
Is when I'm here with you

You are the ones that keep me high
You're the ones for which I'll die
Forever we will be, standing tall side by side
We're the children of the night

Blessed are you
Blessed am I
Children of the night
Children of the night

Blessed are you
Blessed am I
Children of the night
Children of the night

So this song is for all of you
By my side, through and through
We'll roam that world true and free
Feeding you the inner beast

You are the ones that keep me high
You're the ones for which I'll die
Forever we will be, standing tall side by side
We're the children of the night

Blessed are you
Blessed am I
Children of the night
Children of the night

Blessed are you
Blessed am I
Children of the night
Children of the night

Through storm we ride
Side by side
You keep me high
For you I'll die

Through storm we ride
Side by side
You keep me high
For you I'll die



Something wicked - Prophecy

(Schaffer)

I can see clearly now, a painful vision indeed
An attack on hallowed ground from high above
Alien to us, the species known as man
A serious threat in the eyes of the elder

So heed my warning
Before our own existence falls near extinct
Our culture is lost in ancient mystery
Covered in the sands of time

A sacred few survive the massacre this night
In secret they will meet a new society

Ten thousand years from now a child will be born
I've seen the vision, the writing on the wall
He'll walk the earth two thousand years or more
Paving the way for mankind's fall

So there is hope, you see
But we must act with great speed
Assemble the chosen, the ones to lead
And morph them in the likeness of man

Oppressed for centuries, await the prophecy
The child will set us free, reclaim it rightfully

We'll take their identity
And live among them free
All the while plotting events
That mold their history

We'll build the perfect beast
With the knowledge that they seek
If it takes ten thousand years
We never will retreat

Assassins we will be
Through human history
Jesus Christ to Kennedy
The domino decree

Disciples of the watch
Prepare the coming curse
If it takes ten thousand years
We never will retreat

And so our world is doomed
We'll lay claim again some day
There is hope in the birth of one
So many centuries away



Something wicked - Birth of the wicked

(Schaffer)

Daylight breaks hard on sacred ground
For centuries we've questioned them of his birth
But in this hour
On this day the elder knew

Years of madness must now subdue
Order must be enforced to hide the truth
'Cause on this day
In this hour it's coming true

Child of the wicked and ancient man
Baptized in black magic, their masterplan
Born of the watch
His prophecy by their command

Concieved of the beast and the stars above

Born of the watch
His prophecy by their command

So behold the birth, the wicked child
Born of the beast in eastern sands
He will arise, he will divide
He has the power to bring the end

It's up to us now to seal his fate
Marked with the proper math the child's none too late
Blessed by the beast
Our chosen one was born this day

He'll rise from the ashes of our dying race
Manipulate history, time and space
The elder, men of the watch
Professed this day

So behold the birth, the wicked child
Born of the beast in eastern sands
He will arise, he will divide
He has the power to bring the end

Behold the birth, the wicked child
Born of the beast in eastern sands
He will arise, he will divide
He has the power to bring the end



Something wicked - The coming curse

(Schaffer)

I walk the earth just as they planned
Baptized in fire for my ancient land

The coming curse, your antichrist
I am the watcher's eye
I vindicate and cleanse the earth
Of all mankind

For many years I've walked among you
Through the folds of time and space

Kingdoms fall, leaders die
As I see fit
I devour souls of those
That pose a threat

I walk the earth another day
The wicked one that comes this way
Savior to my own, devil to some
Mankind falls, something wicked comes

I bide my time planning your fate
With bated breath the elder wait

The coming curse, your antichrist
I am the watcher's eye
For your crimes on our kind
You all will die

I walk the earth another day
The wicked one that comes this way
Savior to my own, devil to some
Mankind falls, something wicked comes

Forged in the sacred flames
On the sixth day
Of the sixth month
In the sixth hour

I am your antichrist
I will destroy mankind
Born of the beast and flames
I will devour, I will divide

Hellfire rages in my eyes
Blood will fall like rain this night

The coming curse, the antichrist
I am the watcher's eye
I vindicate and cleanse the earth
Of all mankind

I walk the earth another day
The wicked one that comes this way
Savior to my own, devil to some
Mankind falls, something wicked comes

I walk the earth another day
The wicked one that comes this way
Savior to my own, devil to some
Mankind falls, something wicked comes
