Consumed by the venom coursing through my veins A poisonous substance seeping out my pores Drenched in fury, my skin reeks of hate Got to cleanse myself of this hostile infection Have to stop the source, need to kill the heart Flush out the darkness with the light of the flash All of my hatred compelling me to end myself All of my hatred telling me to take you with me (now) Sickened by the thought of your survival To let you go on and continue to breathe The embodiment of what makes me ill I can not allow this, I have to correct this Need to paint the walls with our blood and tears Silence the screaming with the taste of the steel All of my hatred compelling me to end myself All of my hatred telling me to take you with me All of my hatred compelling me to end myself All of my hatred telling me to take you with me, now The only way out is through a hole in head My hatred

When this started we had nothing to loose No goal in mind, no statement to be made We just needed an excuse to make noise Now this beast has a hunger to feed There’s no hope to stop us This juggernaut of sound You can beg for silence And you’ll find it exhaling your last breath We came here to destroy Annihilate, no survivors We came here to destroy Incinerate, then we dance in your ashes Here to destroy, that’s a threat and a promise Here to destroy, we will kill you all This band is family, my brothers in arms And I would die fighting for each of their lives They would do the same, it’s called respect A love unknown by you mercenary punks Governed by greed and doubt Apostates in the end See the fear in your eyes When your crew leaves you supine in our path We came here to destroy Annihilate, no survivors We came here to destroy Incinerate, then we dance in your ashes Here to destroy, that’s a threat and a promise Here to destroy, we will kill you all Break your fucking neck Those who fear us follow Those who obstruct will die They can pray for mercy But their gods will not be there to grant it We came here to destroy Annihilate, no survivors We came here to destroy Incinerate, then we dance in your ashes Here to destroy, that’s a threat and a promise Here to destroy, we will kill you all

Express your love through guilt and fear To appease what isn’t there Just go ahead and bow your head in shame The clouds, they don’t have cares Just gases and vapors condensed together in the troposphere There is no treasure, no paradise Make the best of life; this is all you’re getting (I will never) Need a god, ideology looming over me (I will never) (I will never) Deny myself my faith is self, my one true strength (I will never) As creatures of habit we journey for answers Which is why it’s troubling when people settle for hope To believe our existence has no shades of gray A colorless word with no real hope in sight (I will never) Need a god or theology looming over me (I will never) (I will never) Deny myself my faith is self, my one true strength (I will never) You must ask yourself where will you be when your gods have left your Eyes wide open (I will never) Need a god, ideology looming over me (I will never) (I will never) Deny myself my faith is self, my one true strength (I will never)

This is for the ones we love Life long bounds beyond the blood To all our families and friends With us to the very end We’ll fucking drink to that that (Hell yeah) To the ones who stab of backs Twist around and bend the facts Live your world within your head I’ll have a drink when you’re finally dead We’ll fucking drink to that that (Hell yeah) So raise your glass and take your shot

I would say, “Thanks for the memories”, but then I’d be lying to myself The best years of my life wasted Now, I’m left with this poison Your dad should have never came Saved a hundred bucks and turned you into a stain Our lives are forever tainted Time murders, time to return the favor It’s a shame there’s not enough rope to hang you all and watch you Struggle for life There’s not enough rope to tie you all to horses, have you dragged Screaming for death If I only knew back then, everything that I learned in the end Never would have shook your hand Never looked back and kept on walking Your mom should have used a wire Stab your punk ass; use your fetus for key chains Save me the disgrace of ever knowing your names It’s a shame there’s not enough rope to hang you all and watch you Struggle for life There’s not enough rope to tie you all to horses, have you dragged Screaming for death You have earned this You deserve this Cold steel in your mouth I kneel above you screaming Tell yourself this isn’t real My finger tenses the trigger

I’ve forgotten we were friends before It’s been so long since I spoke your name But the time has come for out paths to cross Can’t escape this coming storm You glare at me, your eyes full of passion My vacant stare drives you to madness Speak your words of hostility I remain the silent target I know you’re hoping for my reaction To spark the flames of our past relations You’re dead inside and looking for substance Caught up in the tragedy But you can’t see I’ve lost the will to care My thoughts of you have been nullified I’m not sorry; I’ve just made the decision To leave my past were it belongs Left it all behind me All of your drama All of your crying All of your bullshit Left it all behind You can’t haunt me Left it all behind me All of your bullshit Left it all behind

Creeping shadow of death Assassin cloaked in sinner’s blood With one thrust of the blade Ruler of hell dethroned Dethroned The new Satan

He took a stand up against the odds Fighting for the greater cause The battle rage and consumed his strength Out numbered and steady pacing A fallen man with a heavy heart Watched as their forces swarmed As they circled he cried out to the stars “I’ll be damned if this is how I die” One hundred thousand times forever curse the skies There comes a time in everyone’s life Where their value’s put to the test Will you fail or will you prevail Tell me was worth it, or all for nothing? Were you true, determine and loyal? In the end that’s all that matters If you fight with all your heart You will rise to legend The coming dawn, the new light brings hope Illuminating the greater cause The blood, the sweat, the tears, the pain Submission was not an option A broken man with a grim future Clung to his will to survive And when he rose he looked up to the sky Told god, “Fuck you, I’m alive” One hundred thousand times forever curse the skies There comes a time in everyone’s life Where their value’s put to the test Will you fail or will you prevail Tell me was worth it, or all for nothing? Were you true, determine and loyal? In the end that’s all that matters If you fight with all your heart You will rise to legend Fight! (Repeat bridge/chorus) Mark these words, “You will rise” Rise up Now

Smash the surface Reshape geography Blacken the skies Sunlight is for the weak Snowflakes of ash Winter will dominate Find your loved ones to say goodbye I fantasize that our demise is coming soon I count the days Tremble with fear Huddled beneath the streets Choke down the air Lungs burn and tasting blood Lie to yourself These are the final days Find your loved ones to consume them I fantasize that our demise is coming soon I count the days While you strive I close my eyes and dream the end I count the days I know you’re asking what keeps me cynic, why can’t I cheer up What is it that inflicts a man to have these thoughts of mine? I should be grateful to be alive, have the will to go on Instead I mock your survival tactics and I kick the dead Well, since you asked with such conviction to seek the truth I despise this fucking race and I’m happy to see us go Vile creatures, I welcome our extinction from this world

Another day wasted Burning away with the sun Another promise you swore to keep A lie to yourself Now smothered in ash Empty words make shallow graves For our trust in your reliance Will you learn that procrastination leads to regrets? Could you ever forgive yourself if you let down the ones that you loved? How could you think to redeem yourself when your lack of action is what caused this loss Another day wasted Burning away with the sun Another promise you swore to keep A lie to yourself Now smothered in ash And your backs against the wall Let go, save nothing Take this as a warning Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed Another chance voided Passed up, cast into the winds Another moment you swore to seize A lie to your heart, now the love has died Father time may help to heal But the memories meant to scar Will you learn that procrastination leads to regrets? Could you ever forgive yourself if you gave up the one that you loved? How could you think to redeem yourself when your lack of action is what caused this loss Another chance voided Passed up, cast into the winds Another moment you swore to seize A lie to your heart, now the love has died And your backs against the wall Let go, save nothing Take this as a warning Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed In this life given moments in time to define our path Character guides the will, but only to the edge we must make the jump Another risk, another lesson yet to live and only then will you learn that progression leads to conquest Save nothing

Weak minded fool Degenerated, you’re stuck in the past Intolerance guides you hand in hand Deaf, blind and dumb Hope is lost Your selfish practice is too engrained The only exit, the means to an end Break the cycle and sever the ties May your children rise above you Ignore your teachings, then turn against you Human waste, a scumfuck lord Another bane of the earth Fear and pride have claimed your sight And ignorance, it coats your tongue Preach your words of segregation My words serve to drown you out Feel the sting of their betrayal Your ways have been forgot, left for the maggots Human waste, a scumfuck lord Another bane of the earth Fear and pride have claimed your sight And ignorance, it coats your tongue Preach your words of segregation My words serve to drown you out Blood is blood Whether family or strangers you meet I don’t expect you to love your fellow man Just give him a chance I speak as one, When I say that this is all in the mind A mental bump that can be surpassed Learn to let go, ascend from the waste

Spent their whole lives searching for the answers Questioning their own existence Where did they belong? What was their purpose? Or was it all just an ugly process? Destine to be the forgotten children Slipping through our society’s grasp Then they heard music They discovered the muse Motivation found between the notes in the groove Now they gather as a collective conscience Expressing their love for the ones that called them You may know these people I know do, ‘cause I consider myself to be of the few Everyone was lost at some point Social outcast cut from the herd Now, thanks to metal we are one (Together united we stated undivided) We are one Everyone was lost at some point Social outcast cut from the herd Now, thanks to Sabbath we are one (Together united this music is timeless) I remember the day when I heard the message In the back of class dreaming about rebellion When a friend walked by with a cassette in hand Passed me the tape, said to ask no questions Since that day I’ve been hooked on metal My teenage angst turned into sheer frustration Now my hate serves as motivation Giving me the strength to conquer it all Now my love has a new release Expressing myself in sync with the beat Mold my heart from my microphone grip Solving all my problems on a musical tip Everyone was lost at some point Social outcast cut from the herd Now, thanks to metal we are one (Together united we stated undivided) We are one Everyone was lost at some point Social outcast cut from the herd Now, thanks to Slayer we are one (Together united this music is timeless) Founded on a common bound Heard in the waves of echoes Calling out from the past Bounded by a common love Everyone was lost at some point Social outcast cut from the herd Now, thanks to metal we are one (Together united we stated undivided) We are one Everyone was lost at some point Social outcast cut from the herd Thanks to Pantera we are one (Together united this music is timeless) The spirit never dies This is a part of me This is my history This is a part of me This is my destiny
