Track Name: 8ight.3hree.1ne.0h
You could never win
And I would love to watch you burn

Although the day is behind us
We could never forgive
What you did and all the families that you tore apart
I bet you are happy you could take
The easy way out - you fucking coward
You soulless coward

What a shame that it was painless
Should have been slow and violent
You deserved to feel the fear that you shed on your victims
And everyone's lives you changed that day

Only one could wonder why
The thought would ever cross your mind
To never tame the beast inside
I'm surprised, you had the heart, to turn the barrel
On yourself

You could never defeat me-
I'll watch you burn

A parasite could never smile
Put yourself in your place
No one ever gave a fuck, about you
Track Name: Blackened (BAKADOW)
To all the angels, who blacken our lives
Blacken our lives

No reflection of anything in the past
A mockery of a so called life
Well hold it near, it's good for a laugh
Something I call a joke
Make me laugh

Waste of precious time
For what? (x2)

Now the tables have turned
There is no scheme
Fueling the flames inside of me
Calm and cool my heart still beats
A combination that sets me free
Carry me away

How does it feel to get a taste?
Thinking you had me, but you were wrong
Now you know how it feels
To be laughed at

Played at your own game - now it's your move
This could have been fun - but that's on you
Fuck your arrogance - it got you played

Nothing left to say, bitch you got played
Fucking played
Trust
Track Name: Hospice
A sudden flash in front of my eyes
Walking towards the light
Is this really the end of my life?

It was a hell of a ride...

When you meet your maker,
What will you say?
Follow me into my epiphany

Now I was never a saint
I was a sinful man
I make no apologies for who I am

I've lived my life
With no regrets
Prove me wrong if you're the better man

I asked for forgiveness
I asked for a sign
And you gave me nothing
So why should I beg at your feet at the end of my fucking life

I owe nothing to you

What the fuck is heaven worth, when I have lived through hell?
Track Name: Live In Sacrifice
You only think for yourself
What a waste
Just like everyone else (x2)

You are a leech that feeds
Off the good will of friends
Am I the only one who sees
What the fuck is wrong with this world

Pathetic, selfish down to the core
Excuses, I just can't take anymore
Blinded by desire, we'll burn the world to the ground

Bleeding life from this earth
With all our greed

I've never seen a human
Who lives to sacrifice
Self serving and abusive
Never to be satisfied
I've never seen a human who lives to sacrifice

If you are judged by your actions
Your apologies won't mean shit
Never satisfied - until you can
Take everything - there is to have

If your a glutton for punishment
You'll get your fill, right here

Pathetic, selfish down to the core
Excuses, I just can't take anymore
Blinded by desire, we'll burn this planet down
Track Name: Forgetting To Know You
Rip out your eyes, it's easier to see
That our friendship has changed
Too bad you'll never learn your lesson
That it all ends here
With all you had how could you piss it all away?

So many years I trusted you
I gave you the shirt off my back
And you replaced it with a knife

Caught red handed with the blood of my trust
No way to deny it now, you better start to run
Fucking over all the friends wishing you still had

The anger rises in me
To break every bone in your body
How do you like me now?

Motherfucker I was a good friend
But now you have the misfortune
Of a better enemy

No chance, for redemption
Failure as a friend
Lights out motherfucker
Failure as a friend
Track Name: Ignorance Is Bliss
Is this too good to be true?
Is this reality or my illusive dream?
If I could never wake again
I would live in blissful ignorance

Wake up my mind
It's time to close my eyes
And become unstoppable

Reality is for the dreamers
In here, I am in control

I'm the destroyer of worlds and the builder of life
I can rain judgement on all in my sight
My word is final
My will is law

I awake with a bitter taste
Contempt for the world and the human race
Release me - from the chains of mortality
Free me - into my eternal dream state

I can't bear the weight of the world on my shoulders
Please let me close my eyes and escape
As I lay down to my eternal slumber
The voice of reason lifts me to my feet

My eyes are wide open
Now I can clearly see
Resistance is futile

Weakness won't overcome me
I will stand up and fight (x2)

Destroy it all
Thought will destroy their paradise - no more
Where ignorance is bliss

IGNORANCE IS BLISS
And I have been cursed with misery
IGNORANCE IS BLISS
And I am condemned to reality

Wake up - wake me up
