Blackened
...And Justice For All
Eye of The Beholder
One
Shortest Straw
Harvester of Sorrow
Frayed Ends of Sanity
To Live is To Die
Dyer's Eve





Blackened
Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of Mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's end
Never will it mend

NEVER

      (Chorus)
   Fire
   To begin whipping dance of the dead
   Blackened is the end
   To begin whipping dance of the dead
   Color our world blackened

Blistering of earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have been

Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore

NEVER

      (Chorus)
Fire
   To begin whipping dance of the dead
   Blackened is the end
   To begin whipping dance of the dead
   Color our world blackened

      Blackened

Opposition...Contradiction...Premonition...Compromise
Agitation...Violation...Mutilation...Planet Dies

   Darkest color
   Blistered earth
   True death of life

Termination...Expiration...Cancellation...Human Race
Expectation...Liberation...Population...Lay To Waste

   See our mother
   Put to waste
   See our mother die

Smouldering decay
Take her breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears

Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun

NEVER

      (Chorus)
Fire
   To begin whipping dance of the dead
   Blackened is the end
   To begin whipping dance of the dead
   Color our world blackened
          Fire
   Is the outcome of hypocrisy
   Darkest potency
   In the exit of humanity
   Color our world blackened

      Blackened


...And Justice For All
Halls of justice painted green
Money talking
Power wolves beset your door
Hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite
They devour
Hammer of justice crushes you
Overpower

      (Chorus)
   The ultimate in vanity
   Exploiting their supremacy
   I can't believe the things you say
   I can't believe
   I can't believe the price you pay
   Nothing can save you

     Justice is lost
     Justice is raped
     Justice is gone
       Pulling your strings
     Justice is done
       Seeking no truth
       Winning is all
       Find it so grim
         So true
         So real

Apathy their stepping stone
So unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity
So deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns
Hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you
With prying minds

      (Chorus)
The ultimate in vanity
   Exploiting their supremacy
   I can't believe the things you say
   I can't believe
   I can't believe the price you pay
   Nothing can save you

     Justice is lost
     Justice is raped
     Justice is gone
       Pulling your strings
     Justice is done
       Seeking no truth
       Winning is all
       Find it so grim
         So true
         So real

Lady Justice has been raped
Truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips
Now you're done in
Their money tips her scales again
Make your deal
Just what is truth? I cannot tell
Cannot feel

      (Chorus)
   The ultimate in vanity
   Exploiting their supremacy
   I can't believe the things you say
   I can't believe
   I can't believe the price we pay
   Nothing can save us

     Justice is lost
     Justice is raped
     Justice is gone
       Pulling your strings
     Justice is done
       Seeking no truth
       Winning is all
       Find it so grim
         So true
         So real

       Seeking no truth
       Winning is all
       Find it so grim
         So true
         So real


Eye of the Beholder
Do you see what I see?
Truth is an offence
You silence for you confidence
Do you hear what I hear?
Doors are slamming shut
Limit you imagination,
     Keep you where they must
Do you feel what I feel?
Bittering distress
Who decides what you express?
Do you take what I take?
Endurance is the word
Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd

      (Chorus)
Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say
     Independence Limited
     Freedom of Choice
     Choice is made for you my friend
     Freedom of Speech
     Speech is words that they will bend
     Freedom with their exception

Do you fear what I fear?
Living properly
Truths to you are lies to me
Do you choose what I choose?
More alternatives
Energy derives from both the plus and negative
Do you need what I need?
Boundaries overthrown
Look inside, to each his own
Do you trust what I trust?
Me, myself and I
Penetrate the smoke screen, I see through the selfish lie

      (Chorus)
Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say
     Independence Limited
     Freedom of Choice
     Choice is made for you my friend
     Freedom of Speech
     Speech is words that they will bend
     Freedom with their exception

Do you know what I know?
Your money and your wealth
You silence just to hear yourself
Do you want what I want?
Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence, lengthen freedom's ring

      (Chorus)
Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say
     Independence Limited
     Freedom of Choice
     Choice is made for you my friend
     Freedom of Speech
     Speech is words that they will bend
     Freedom no longer frees you

Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say


One
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if it's true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's nothing much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

      (Chorus)
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

      (Chorus)
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

       Now the world is gone I'm just one
Oh God, help me hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, help me

Darkness
      Imprisoning me
      All that I see
      Absolute horror
      I cannot live
      I cannot die
      Trapped in myself
      Body my holding cell
Landmine
      Has taken my sight
      Taken my speach
      Taken my hearing
      Taken my arms
      Taken my legs
      Taken my soul
      Left me with life in Hell


Shortest Straw
Suspicion is your name
Your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame
Dishonor
Witchunt, Modern Day
Determining decay
The blatant disaray
Disfigure
The public eyes' disgrace
Defying common place
Unending paperchase
Unending

Deafening
Painstaking
Reckoning
This vertigo it doth bring

      (Chorus)
Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly
Discriminatioin, why?
Your inner self to die
Intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you
It's teeth and talons through
Your living catch-2-2
Deluding
A mass hysteria
A megalomania
Reveal dementia
Reveal

Secretly
Silently
Certainly
In vertigo you will be

      (Chorus)
Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind you, hands are tied
Your being, ostracized
Your Hell is multiplied
Upending
The fallout has begun
Oppressive damage done
Your many turned to none
To nothing
You're reaching your nadir
Your will has disappeared
The lie is crystal clear
Defending

Channels red
One word said
Blacklisted
With vertigo make you dead

      (Chorus)
Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you
Pulled for you


Harvester of Sorrow
My life suffocates
Planting seeds of hate
I've loved, turned to hate
Trapped far beyond my fate

I give
You take
This life I forsake
Been cheated of my youth
You turned this lie to truth

      (Chorus)
Anger
Misery
You'll suffer unto me
     Harvester of Sorrow
     Language of the Mad
     Harvester of Sorrow

Pure black looking clear
My work is done soon here
Try getting back to me
Get back what used to be

Drink up
Shoot in
Let the beatings begin
Distributor of pain
Your loss becomes my gain

      (Chorus)
Anger
Misery
You'll suffer unto me
     Harvester of Sorrow
     Language of the Mad
     Harvester of Sorrow

All have said their prayers
Invade their nightmares
To see into my eyes
You'll find where murder lies

Infanticide

     Harvester of Sorrow
     Language of the Mad
     Harvester of Sorrow
     Language of the Mad
     Harvester of Sorrow


The Frayed Ends of Sanity
Never hunger
Never pros per
I have fallen prey to failure
Struggle within
Triggered again
Now the candle burns at both ends

Twisting under schizophrenia
Falling deep into dementia

      (Chorus)
Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me

Birth of terror
Death of much more
I'm the slave of fear, my captor
Never warnings
Spreading its wings
As I wait for the horror she brings

Loss of interest, Question, Wonder
Waves of fear they pull me under

      (Chorus)
Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me

Into ruin
I am sinking
Hostage of this nameless feeling
Hell is set free
Flooded I'll be
Feel the undertow inside

Height, Hell, Time, Haste, Terror, Tension
Life, Death, Want, Waste, Mass Depression

      (Chorus)
Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Myself is after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling me


To Live is To Die
When a man lies he murders
     Some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which
     men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear
     To witness any longer
Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation
     Take me home


Dyers Eve
Dear Mother
Dear Father
What is this hell you have put me through
Believer
Deceiver
Day in day out live my life through you
Pushed onto me what's wrong or right
Hidden from this thing that they call life
Dear Mother
Dear Father
Every thought I'd think you'd disapprove
Curator
Dictator
Alway s censoring my every move
Children are seen but are not heard
Tear out everything inspired

      (Chorus)
     Innoncence
     Torn from me without your shelter
     Barred reality
     I'm living blindly

Dear Mother
Dear Father
Time has frozen still what's left to be
Hear nothing
Say nothing
Cannot face the fact I think for me
No guarantee, it's life as is
But damn you for not giving my my chance
Dear Mother
Dear Father
You've clipped my wings before I learned to fly
Unspoiled
Unspoken
I've outgrown that fucking Lullaby
Same thing I've always heard from you
Do as I say not as I do

      (Chorus)
Innoncence
     Torn from me without your shelter
     Barred reality
     I'm living blindly

      I'm in Hell without you
      Cannot cope without you two
      Shocked at the world that I see
      Innocent victim please rescue me

Dear Mother
Dear Father
Hidden in your world you've made for me
I'm seething
I'm bleeding
Ripping wounds in me that never heal
Undying spite I feel for you
Living out this Hell you always knew
