Chorus: If there is a life of nonsensical madness I am livin' it If there is a structure to existence I'm ad-libbin' it I've been knighted with the position of village idiot I've been knighted with the position of village idiot Verse 1: Well I came from the kind of town where there's peace but there's no honesty So I turned into a fucking clown by day one, but what the fuck do you want from me? I've already done my time hearing the family history Come on, try just one more time to sit me down and educate me And now for the propaganda I want to deeply disappoint you I want to become the kind of person you want to come nowhere near you I want to be the one who stands between you and your pride I want to be the shame that grows and ruptures you from inside Chorus Verse 2: Fuck you! I woke up and put on my high heels and crawled out of the garbage can Was coincidentally on the scene every time the shit hit the fan This is what I get for refusing to bow to any man I couldn't tell you when on earth my descent into hell began And now for the propaganda I want to show you it went nowhere Tried to teach me how to hate and instead taught me how not to care One day you'll wake up and you'll ask yourself where the hell I went And this will be the fucking day, the day of your discontent Chorus From the day I was born, the first time I let you down I tore out my hair, I haunted your fucking dreams Wrote myself threats in my own fucking blood Idiot! Won't fight for my life but I will fight for this I won't stand by and let ignorance be bliss I am out of my damn fucking mind cause of you I'm out of my mind! Fuck you! Idiot! Fuck you.

Verse 1: Hello, little one Welcome to prison You know who I am, don't you? Where I come from There's no freedom You know I love you, don't you? Pre-chorus: Cause the world outside is vast But it's safe behind the glass Chorus: And I'm sorry if it seems mean, I'm a selfish human being It's my nature to rip you from yours, cause I'm strong and you are weak Verse 2: Hello, little one If you were human How life would smile upon you Only then would you see There is a hierarchy And you are at the bottom Pre-chorus: And who the hell put me on top? And when will the madness stop? Although I love you and I promise you I do... Just consider me the warden, consider me the boss Consider this to be your last chance to run And before you plan your great escape, know you won't last a day... Chorus Hello, little one You've been gone for so long Where the hell did they take you?

Behold! 03:54
Verse 1: This isn't a train anymore, these aren't wires And death's no longer doom We aren't filled with blood anymore, and no guts Yet the spilling will resume We aren't human beings anymore, there's no peace And there's certainly no love Existence won't be escaped anymore, Behold! Behold! Chorus: Behold! This is hell and you have just arrived Behold! This is hell and we just wait to die Verse 2: This isn't a train anymore, and the tracks Are illusions in our minds We aren't filled with blood anymore and we haven't been For the longest time We aren't human beings anymore, there's no god To drag down with us when we go Existence won't be escaped anymore, Behold! Behold! Well I'm never gonna sleep another night on this planet In my dreams I will float to the moon And I really need some peace of mind but I can't have it And in my dreams I have flown away Mrs. Grace said make a place of peace in your mind Until the stars have realigned But I know no such place of peace exists on this earth I learned the truth, does it ever hurt... Chorus: Behold! This is hell and you have just arrived Behold! This is hell and we just wait to die And now! We release ourselves from this chokehold And now! I will give ya something to behold

Second Eye 02:52
Verse 1: I was born a leader, raised to be submissive Born to say it louder, raised to shut up and listen The smell of my own death is on me still Why should I rinse myself? I was born from filth Chorus: And a strike goes out to the one who threatened death upon his offspring His mind grows ever more disgusting But now he's in hell, and it suits him well With the spine of the incisor stuck in his back, put your guard down, it's time to attack Verse 2: I was born to guide myself and raised to be guided Never knew hell so well till I was fucking forced to look inside it When they dug a hole and left me there Chorus When you begin your eternity lost in space You better fucking bet I will be spitting my blood on your grave And when I'm hypnotized and open up my second eye I realize your death is something to which I owe my life I wasn't born in hell, no! I was placed into it And now all that remains is in the grave where I used to live Now the worms and flies have travelled to your corpse from mine I love how you'll scream when the bugs eat out your eyes.....

Cleansed 04:42
Verse 1: You've cleansed yourself You've gotten filthy again You've gone to hell far before your death You've found the exception for the phrase 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger' You've seen better days And you won't see them any longer Pre-chorus: Well it starts with one of us but where does it end? And when will all the weak-willed be cleansed? Chorus: And when I say clean, you know just what cleanliness I mean The kind of clean the likes of which you've never seen And as far as clean goes, everyone knows you've never been And as far as I know, you know you'll never be clean Verse 2: You've cleansed yourself You rolled around in the dirt I ain't clean myself Seen better days and I'll see worse Well it starts with one of us but where does it end? And when will we all finally be cleansed? Chorus: And when I say clean, you know just what cleanliness I mean The kind of clean the likes of which you've never seen And as far as clean goes, everyone knows you've never been And as far as I know, we all know you'll never be clean When will we all finally be cleansed?

Verse 1: Domination has been written in blood Passed down through one of us one by one Well I still don't know what it is about my blood That holds the power to activate the sites But he won't stop until the last of us dies GO! Well I hope there's still some blood in those hard, old veins GO! You'll be hung from the ceiling to drain FIGHT! To a new dimension with the remains I know where they'll go, you don't want to know, it'll make you insane Chorus: I was born to be corrupted, it was written in my bloodline I would never be corrupted if it wasn't for my bloodline Verse 2: So it comes down to a fight to the death I came with this blood and I will leave with no less Well, I've fought your henchmen before and I'll destroy many more And rip their hearts right from their chests Chorus Verse 3: I never thought I'd have to fight for my blood And leave my soul face down in the mud Cause I have made the gods afraid of what I've become And I won't stop until I'm done
