END OF THE BEGINNING

GOD IS DEAD

LONER

ZEITGEIST

VERSE 1
IS THIS THE END OF THE BEGINNING OR THE BEGINNING OF THE END?
LOSING CONTROL OR ARE YOU WINNING? IS YOUR LIFE REAL
OR JUST PRETEND?

VERSE 1
LOST IN THE DARKNESS, I FADE FROM THE LIGHT. FAITH OF MY FATHER MY
BROTHER MY MAKER AND SAVIOR. HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.

HES JUST A LONER. HE NEVER SAYS HELLO. A FRIEND TO NO ONE. HES GOT
NO PLACE TO GO.

VERSE 1
ASTRAL ENGINES IN REVERSE. IM FALLING THROUGH THE UNIVERSE AGAIN.
DOWN AMONG THE DEADMENS VISION. FADED DREAMS AND NUCLEAR
FISSION SPENT.

HEAVY VERSE 1
REANIMATION OF THE SEQUENCE REWINDS THE FUTURE TO THE PAST.
TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE SOLUTION THE SYSTEM HAS TO BE RECAST.
FAST RIFF 1
RELEASE YOUR MIND. FAST FORWARD TO THE SECRETS OF YOUR CODE.
YOUR LIFES ON OVERLOAD. DELETE OR SAVE THE UNITS THAT MAKE YOU
AN ENTITY. THATS YOUR IDENTITY.
B SECTION
IF YOU DONT KNOW, WHICH WAY TO GO YOU MAY FEEL LOST AND
CONFUSED. A SECOND CHANCE YOUR TIME TO LOSE.
BRIDGE
REGENERATION OF YOUR CYBER SONIC SOUL, TRANSFORMED IN TIME
AND SPACE BEYOND CONTROL. RISE UP RESIST AND BE THE MASTER
OF YOUR FATE. DONT LOOK BACK, LIVE FOR TODAY, TOMORROW IS
TOO LATE.
OUTRO
YOU DONT WANT TO BE A ROBOT GHOST OCCUPIED INSIDE A HUMAN HOST.
ANALYSED AND CLONED RELENTLESSLY, SYNTHESIZED UNTIL THEY SET
YOU FREE.
ALRIGHT, OKAY, ALRIGHT TILL THEY SET YOU FREE. ALRIGHT, OKAY TILL
THEY SET YOU FREE.
FREE. FREE. IM FREE. BE FREE.
I DONT WANNA SEE YOU YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH. I DONT WANNA
SEE YOU YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH.

BLOOD ON MY CONSCIENCE AND MURDER IN MIND. OUT OF THE GLOOM

I RISE UP FROM MY TOMB INTO IMPENDING DOOM. NOW MY BODY IS
MY SHRINE.
CHORUS 1
THE BLOOD RUNS FREE, THE RAIN TURNS RED. GIVE ME THE WINE, YOU
KEEP THE BREAD. THE VOICES ECHO IN MY HEAD. IS GOD ALIVE OR IS
GOD DEAD? IS GOD DEAD?
VERSE 2
RIVERS OF EVIL RUN THROUGH DYING LAND. SWIMMING IN SORROW,
THEY KILL STEAL AND BORROW. THERE IS NO TOMORROW. FOR THE
SINNERS WILL BE DAMNED.
ASHES TO ASHES, YOU CAN NOT EXHUME A SOUL. WHO DO YOU TRUST
WHEN CORRUPTION AND LUST, CREED OF ALL THE UNJUST LEAVES YOU
EMPTY AND UNWHOLE?
BRIDGE A
WHEN WILL THIS NIGHTMARE BE OVER? TELL ME. WHEN CAN I EMPTY MY
HEAD? WILL SOMEONE TELL ME THE ANSWER, IS GOD REALLY DEAD?
IS GOD REALLY DEAD?
M8 / BRIDGE B
TO SAFEGUARD MY PHILOSOPHY UNTIL MY DYING BREATH. I TRANSFER
FROM REALITY INTO A LIVING DEATH. I EMPATHIZE WITH ENEMIES UNTIL
THE TIME IS RIGHT. WITH GOD AND SATAN AT MY SIDE, FROM DARKNESS
WILL COME LIGHT.
CHORUS 2
I WATCH THE RAIN AS IT TURNS RED. GIVE ME MORE WINE I DONT NEED BREAD.
THESE RIDDLES THAT LIVE IN MY HEAD. I DONT BELIEVE THAT GOD IS DEAD.
GOD IS DEAD.
SWING RIFF
NOWHERE TO RUN, NOWHERE TO HIDE. WONDERING IF WE WILL MEET
AGAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE. DO YOU BELIEVE A WORD WHAT THE GOOD
BOOK SAID? OR IS IT JUST A HOLY FAIRYTALE AND GOD IS DEAD?
GOD IS DEAD. GOD IS DEAD. GOD IS DEAD. GOD IS DEAD. RIGHT.
CHORUS 3 / OUTRO
BUT STILL THE VOICES IN MY HEAD ARE TELLING ME THAT GOD IS DEAD.
THE BLOOD POURS DOWN, THE RAIN TURNS RED. I DONT BELIEVE THAT
GOD IS DEAD.
GOD IS DEAD. GOD IS DEAD. GOD IS DEAD.

HE DONT LOOK HAPPY. HE LOOKS THROUGH FURTIVE EYES. HE AINT GOT

NOTHING. NO ONE TO SYMPATHIZE.
HE HIDES HIMSELF AWAY. HIS SECRETS NOT REVEALED. AS LIFE JUST PASSES
BY HE KEEPS HIMSELF CONCEALED.
A SOLITARY MAN. AN ENIGMATIC CHILD. A RIDDLE NEVER SOLVED.
A PRISONER EXILED.
I WONDER IF THE LONER CAN ASSIMILATE. A LIFE LESS LIVED ALONE PLAYS
DEVILS ADVOCATE.
HAS HE EVER TRIED TO BE HAPPY? REACHED OUT FROM INSIDE. SOMEONE
ON WHO HE CAN DEPEND. ITS GETTING TOO LATE TO RECOVER. HE WONT
STAND A CHANCE AND INTO HIS OWN HELL HELL DESCEND. DONT DESCEND.
NO UNDERSTANDING OF THINGS WE ALREADY KNOW. HE HAS TO LIVE
HIS LIFE AND JUST LEARN HOW TO LET GO.
COMMUNICATIONS AN IMPOSSIBILITY. HIS OWN BEST FRIEND BUT HES HIS
OWN WORST ENEMY. THE SECRETS OF HIS PAST LOCKED DEEP INSIDE HIS
HEAD. I WONDER IF HE WILL BE HAPPY WHEN HES DEAD.

CHORUS 1
THE STRINGS OF THEORY ARE HOLDING UP THE RACE. THE PUPPETS FALLING
TO THE GROUND. THE LOVE I FEEL AS I FLY ENDLESSLY THROUGH SPACE.
LOST IN TIME, I WONDER WILL MY SHIP BE FOUND.
VERSE 2
ON THIS SINKING SHIP I TRAVELFASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT. NOT SO
SUPERNOVA BURNS, THE BLACK HOLES TURN AND FADE FROM SIGHT
CHORUS 2
THE STRINGS OF THEORY HIDE IN THE HUMAN RACE. THE ANSWERS BURIED
UNDERGROUND. THE LOVE I FEEL AS I FLY ENDLESSLY THROUGH SPACE.
LOST IN TIME, I WONDER WILL MY SHIP BE FOUND.
OUTRO
AND VERY SOON THE BOMBERS MOON WILL SHOW US LIGHT AND AS WE
CRASH WELL PRAY AND KISS AND SAY GOODNIGHT. GOODNIGHT.

AGE OF REASON

LIVE FOREVER

DAMAGED SOUL

DEAR FATHER

VERSE 1
DO YOU HEAR THE THUNDER RAGING IN THE SKY? PREMONITION OF
A SHATTERED WORLD THATS GONNA DIE.

VERSE 1
JUST BEFORE YOU DIE THEY SAY YOULL SEE YOUR LIFE GO FLASHING BY.
COLD DARK ENDLESS NIGHT, TO BURN IN HELL OR BATHE IN HEAVENS LIGHT.

VERSE 1
BORN IN A GRAVEYARD ADOPTED BY SIN, I CULTIVATE EVIL THATS LIVING
WITHIN. A PREACHER TRIED SAVING MY BLACK DAMAGED SOUL, POSSESSED
BY A DEMON THAT HAD FULL CONTROL.

IN THE AGE OF REASON, HOW DO WE SURVIVE? THE PROTOCOLS OF EVIL

RAVAGING SO MANY LIVES?

CHORUS 1
WELL I DONT WANT TO LIVE FOREVER BUT I DONT WANT TO DIE. I MAY BE
DREAMING BUT WHATEVER, I LIVE INSIDE A LIE.

VERSE 1
A CHILDHOOD INNOCENCE WAS DROWNED IN YOUR TEARS. THE DEMONS
THAT YOU FOUGHT ARE FEEDING YOUR FEARS. THE POISONED SECRETS
OF YOUR LIFE STAND REVEALED. THE TRUTH DESTROYS YOU, ITS NO
LONGER CONCEALED.

VERSE 2
MYSTIFYING SILENCE TALKING PEACE ON EARTH. WE SHOULD JUDGE EACH
OTHER FOR OURSELVES NOT WHAT WERE WORTH.
SUSTAINABLE EXTINCTION, A FRACTURED HUMAN RACE. A JADED REVOLUTION
DISAPPEARS WITHOUT A TRACE.
MID 8
ALWAYS FELT THAT THERED BE TROUBLE. MASS DISTRACTION HIDES THE TRUTH.
PROZAC DAYS AND SLEEPLESS HOURS. SEEDS OF CHANGE THAT DONT
BEAR FRUIT.
VERSE 3
THESE TIMES ARE HEAVY AND YOURE ALL ALONE. THE BATTLES OVER BUT
THE WAR GOES ON.
POLITICS, RELIGION, LOVE OF MONEY TOO. ITS WHAT THE WORLD WAS
BUILT FOR BUT NOT FOR ME AND YOU.

VERSE 2
DAYS PASS BY TOO SOON, WAITING FOR THE RISING OF THE MOON. NO ESCAPE
FROM HERE, FACING DEATH BUT IS YOUR CONSCIENCE CLEAR.
CHORUS 2
I MAY BE DREAMING OR WHATEVER, WATCHING MY LIFE GO BY. AND I DONT
WANT TO LIVE FOREVER BUT I DONT WANT TO DIE.
CHORUS 3
WELL I DONT WANT TO LIVE FOREVER BUT I DONT WANT TO DIE. I MAY BE
DREAMING BUT WHATEVER, I LIVE INSIDE A LIE.
OUTRO
DONT WANT TO LIVE FOREVER BUT I DONT WANT TO DIE. DONT WANT
TO LIVE FOREVER BUT I DONT WANT TO DIE.

VERSE 2
THE TIME IT IS COMING WHEN ALL LIFE WILL END, WITH DOOMSDAY
APPROACHING TO HELL WELL DESCEND. RELIGION WONT SAVE ME,
THE DAMAGE IS DONE. THE FUTURE HAS ENDED BEFORE ITS BEGUN.
MIDDLE 8
DEATHS HAND AND THE CRAZY, I CANT STAND THE LIGHT OF DAY. WATCHING
ALL THE VICTIMS ON THEIR KNEES AS THEY PRAY. GOD OF THE ALMIGHTY
NEVER ANSWERS THEIR CALL. SATAN IS JUST WAITING FOR THE RIGHTEOUS
TO FALL TO HIM.
VERSE 3
I DONT MIND DYING CAUSE IM ALREADY DEAD. PRAY NOT FOR THE LIVING
ILL LIVE IN YOUR HEAD. DYING IS EASY ITS LIVING THATS HARD. IM LOSING
THE BATTLE BETWEEN SATAN AND GOD.

CHORUS 1
DEAR FATHER FORSAKEN, YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE DOING. IN SILENCE
YOUR VIOLENCE HAS LEFT MY LIFE IN RUIN. YEAH, IN RUIN, YEAH.
VERSE 2
YOU PREYED UPON MY FLESH THEN PRAYED FOR MY SOUL. BELIEF BETRAYED
BY LUST, THE FAITH THAT YOU STOLE. INDOCTRINATION BY A TWISTED DESIRE,
THE CATECHISM OF AN EVIL MESSIAH.
CHORUS 2
DEAR FATHER FORGIVE ME, I KNOW JUST WHAT IM DOING. IN SILENCE THIS
VIOLENCE WILL LEAVE YOUR LIFE IN RUIN. YEAH, IN RUIN, YEAH.
M8
PREACHER OF THEOCRACY HIDING YOUR HYPOCRISY. UNDER A FALSE
SANCTITY, HOLY PHONEY EMPATHY. YOU HAVE TAKEN MY LIFE, NOW ITS
YOUR TURN TO DIE.
BRIDGE B W/ MOD
CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT? WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES DO YOU THINK
OF ALL THE PAIN FROM YOUR LIES? OR DO YOU DENY YOURE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE SINS YOU DEVISED?
WHAT YOU GONNA TELL THEM WHEN THEY ASK YOU? WELL THEN IS YOUR
CONSCIENCE PURE IN YOUR HEART? THERE IS NO EXEMPTION WHEN YOU
SEEK REDEMPTION FOR ALL THE LIVES THAT YOUVE TORN APART.
VERSE 3
YOUR MOLESTATIONS OF THE CROSS YOU DEFILED, A MAN ONCE HOLY
NOW DESPISED AND REVILED. YOU TOOK POSSESSION WHILE CONFESSING
MY SINS AND NOW YOU HAVE TO FACE WHATEVER DEATH BRINGS, YEAH.
CHORUS 3
DEAR FATHER FORSAKEN, YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE DOING. IN SILENCE
YOUR VIOLENCE HAS LEFT MY LIFE IN RUIN, YEAH. IN RUIN YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
IN RUIN YEAH.

OUT OF MY WAY.
CHORUS 1

VERSE 2
YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN READ MY MIND. BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU
MIGHT FIND. YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN BE LIKE ME, AND SEE WHAT MY
EYES SEE, BUT YOURE NO FRIEND OF MINE.
AN ANGEL OR THE ANTICHRIST, A SYMBOL OF YOUR OWN DEVICE.
PATHETIC IN YOUR OWN SAD WAY. YOURE JUST ONE PILL AWAY FROM
TAKING MY ADVICE.

CHORUS 3
IM YOUR PARIAH, FOR YOUR DESIRE. AINT NO MESSIAH, JUST YOUR PARIAH.
OUTRO
AINT NO MESSIAH, JUST YOUR PARIAH.
