The preacher!

In days of old
When the books were untold
Speak of a world crushed by sin
"The people will mourn
Of a war to be born"
Nobody would listen to him
Think back in time
When the future you find
Is so faint that it's too hard to see
Don't disavow his word
For the truth must be heard
Cause the preacher tells visions he sees

In 1906
Like the future predicts
The city will crumble to the bay
Then what's in store
When the worlds go to war?
Peace will have come another day
Then came the one
In the year of '41
Warfare would light up the sky
He beckoned the call
Of the future for all
Blinded by what's in his eyes

Don't follow the preacher!
Preach!

In days of old

Don't disavow his word

Listen to these words I preach
(Don't follow the preacher!)
Catastrophic lessons they shall teach

Listen to these words I preach
(Don't follow the preacher!)
Catastrophic lessons they shall teach

Takers of humanity, elders paranoid
the time is now
give up this world you once destroyed
society versus the underground
their battles fough and lost
the time has come
to rule the world at any cost

For the past it's to late
cause the world can't control fate
shadows cast loud and clear
tell the world the new order's here

Cities turn to battlefields
a deadly spell is cast
corpses falling one by one
until the last
The preacher speaks of prophecy
so many years before
no one escapes their punishment
the gods of war

For the past it's to late
cause the world can't control fate
shadows cast loud and clear
tell the world the new order's here

Death is like an empty space
feel no thoughts of fear
the future cries
as mother nature sheds a tear
the world becomes a prisoner
a victim of its crime
the human race is now a race
against time

For the past it's to late
cause the world can't control fate
shadows cast loud and clear
tell the world the new order's here

"Hear the screams, screams of fright
Shrieks of terror through the night
Souls of old band to hold
The meeting for the haunting night
Headless ghosts fill the halls
Shadow plays off grief and pain
Phantom speaks his final note
Tenants of the castle slain

Black cats will appear
As the witching hour nears
Lost souls will all be told
For a haunting we will go!

See their dreams come to life
Under pressure holding tight
Feel the cold grabbing hold
To feed you to the haunting night

Evil witch black as pitch
Starts a fire with a flinch
Burning fire rising higher
Making music like a choir

Children of the night
They're howling at black skies
The ruthless calls within
For the haunting now begins!

Stay away from the shining light
Can't seem to find the answer there
Bring back the terror in the night
That we all share tonight!

Hear the screams, screams of fright
Shrieks of terror through the night
Souls of old band to hold
The meeting for the haunting night
Headless ghosts fill the halls
Shadow plays of grief and pain
Phantom speaks his final note
Tenants of the castle slain

Black cats will appear
As the witching hour nears
Lost souls will all be told
For a haunting we will go!"

Here we go,
the people show,
Victims of tomorrow.
The way it goes,
it never shows,
emptiness or sorrow.
There is nothing left inside,
nothing left to cry for.
So I justify my crimes,
things that I must die for.

So alone,
away it goes.
The life that you have wasted
You never know,
Where it might go.
The sweet success you've tasted
Tasted by a bitter frown,
Knowing I must die for.
Can't confide, to all the lies,
no one to inquire.

As I wander, change of seasons.
As I realize,
that I'll soon be there.

I'll let you know,
the reapers show.
Makes you beg or borrow.
He comes to see,
the tragedy.
His fate he will not follow.
Wearing your electric crown,
the preacher starts to pray.
Shiver as the lights go down,
heed these words I say...

As I wander,
change of seasons.
I can't ponder,
I got my reasons.
As I realize,
I don't care.
All I know is,
that I'll soon be there.

Now it's gone,
the time has come.
The people stand in silence.
Another dawn,
has come and gone.
His fate has been decided.
There is no one left inside,
a brain without a mind.
Traces of a bitter man,
are all that you will find.

As I wander,
change of seasons.
I can't ponder,
I got my reasons.
As I realize,
I don't care.
All I know is:
that I'll soon be there.
That I'll soon be there.
That I'll soon be there.
That I'll soon be there.

The day's vanished in the night, soon the children pray
Pray themselves alone, te hate build from their pride
You can't take away, can't take what they own!
The eyes watching from the sky, guides them throug the haze
Calling far away, the rain is black as black, black as night
Oh let them pray!

False sense of pride, satisfies
There's no reason for suicide
Use your mind, and hope to find
Find the meaning of existence...

The cry's answers wonder why, why it's time to die
Time to die alone, cause I'm wasting too much time
Wandering down the line reason why I go my own!

False sense of pride, satisfies
There's no reason for suicide
Use your mind, and hope to find
Find the meaning of existence...

Can't you see
That in the world we live in
Political lies
Are just corporate decisions
They'll take away
All the hopes, not their promises
They'll put an end to this
Land of the livin'

Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black

They got control
Of the heart of a nation
Their social tribes
Seem so graciously
As time goes by
'Cause time as you came see
Will slowly die for you and me

Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black

So put an end
To this idolization
Antagonizing so commonly
Open your eyes
'Cause the lie's there so plain to see
Life goes on
There's no guarantees

Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black
They're bleeding so black

Deep in the pit and lying alone
Where death has reared itself a throne
We're all the good,the bad
The worst and the best
And where they land is their eternal rest

Foul plays of passion
At twilight's dim
In joy of woe of good and sin
Winds of storm and fates overcast
Darkly my presence is now your past

Join the insanity
Or die as you fall
Into the pit
The mass production
And the killing of all
Into the pit
The future screams for help
Are fading away
Into the pit
The world tomorrow
Will it die for today?
Into the pit

So in the sad,silent watches of night
The lonely pathway envisions my sight
Echoes of laughter
And boundless cries
So here I wander under infinite skies

Join the insanity
Or die as you fall
Into the pit
The mass production
And the killing of all
Into the pit
The future screams for help
Are fading away
Into the pit
The world tomorrow
Will it die for today?
Into the pit

Accuse you of a crime
sentenced to endless time
the price you have to pay
won't get away!
sworn in by the stand
your rights are gone
the system's banned
they think you are a liar
a trial by fire

Hey!
this is what the people say
A new way
A trial by fire!

Locked in an empty cell
your life becomes a living hell
the river of fire flows
time only knows!
trapped by flames of fury
ordered unto by the jury
death is their desire
thrown in the fire!

Hey!
this is what the people say
A new way
A trial by fire!

Quiver the fiery light
cringing as your soul ignites
the book of law's been thrown away
starting today!
The system before the war
is gone for now and evermore
there is no sentence higher
A trial by Fire!

Hey!
this is what the people say
A new way
A trial by fire!

You think your life's so grand
You don't believe a word you say
Your feet aren't on the ground
You let your life just slip away
Just so uncertain of your body and your soul
The promises you make your mind go blank
and then you lose control, then you lose control!

I never was the one, the one to say
the things you say
Never seem to wonder what you say
You think you've got your life completely in control
You've got a lot to learn, the bridge you burned
It's gonna take its toll!!! Pay the burnt bridge toll!!!

So practice what you preach!
Practice What You Preach!
Practice What You Preach!
Practice What You Preach!

You think your life's so grand
You don't believe a word you say
Your feet aren't on the ground
You let your life just slip away
Just so uncertain of your body and your soul
The promises you make your mind goes blank
and then you lose control
Pay the burnt bridge toll, then you lose control
Pay the burnt bridge toll, so practice what you preach!

Practice What You Preach!
Practice What You Preach!
Practice What You Preach!

Listen now to my sordid tale
My words they speak to you
They testify
You can't deny
You see it's oh so true
I dwell in thoughts
Of the universe
What's immortality ?
It's said to be
The lies they breed
The pages start to bleed
How can this be ?

Let go of my world
Let it go...

Touch my soul
With subliminal sin
Deceptions they induce
Ingest the lies
Dissect the mind
You can't control the youth
Enslave the free
With conformity


Oppression takes it's toll
Hey little man
Who are you
To try to take control
Of my soul...

Let go of my world
Let me go...

Bleed me dry
Read between the lies
Filter out the truth
Pick at my brain
Brand me insane
I know what I must do
Take my life into my own hands
My sins I will atone
If I don't try
I will reside
Inside a mental home
Home sweet home...

Let go of my world
Let it go...

"We're gonna take you back
through the pages of the past
Just another lonely boy
I could laugh and play
and live in any other way
Then the devil took my soul
The fortune and the fame
I knew I was not the same
and I know I'd never return

Looking at the sky
I know I would never die
And forever shining through
Wish the sky would say
that blue would turn to grey
and I know I'd be there

Life was like a fantasy
taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one stays the same

Turn the pages back in time
through the chapters in my mind
Life's too short to leave behind
It's too late now
Life was like a fantasy
taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me

Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one
knows my name"

I've been a prisoner
Trapped in by fear
Ordered for the rest of my life
Condemned in a jail cell
Ain't seen life in years
Escape is the only way out

Restart my life
Or self destruction
To climb this wall
Of dark construction
Holding the quest for freedom
That beckons me

My sanity is all but gone
My patience is growing very weak
I need to get a hold of myself
I stare at the wall
For the right time to come
Escape must occur on this night

Restart my life
Or self destruction
To climb this wall
Of dark construction
Holding the quest for freedom
That beckons me

Stand in my way
And I'll run you straight through
There's no one to stop me now
For I'm on the loose
And I'm ready to start
Torture and hell on this town

Over the wall!!!

The search will not stop
And the hounds will not rest
Till I am back in my cell
For if I am caught, I will try it again
Over the wall I will go, I will go!!!

Restart my life
Or self destruction
To climb this wall
Of dark construction
Holding the quest for freedom
That beckons me

Our ship sailed on through the violent bearing sea
Not knowing of the danger waiting in store for me
We wound up all in mayhem, the vessel tossed and turned
The compass that had led us, we watched it slowly burn

Well never see our homeland, we know it all right then
That fate was on the second hand of borrowed time again
For that evil pathed our way ...

The men were being thrown, from left and right they fell
The water was as hot as satans forge from hell
The questions that arose, like where the hell are we ?
I had a good idea, were in the devils sea: the triangle !

The devils triangle !

See whats become of your life left to life
No hope from this land of trust
Hells winds scream sacrilege, death from above
The great white closes in ...
The corpses afloat, all shattered in rage
No hope for our peace of mind
Satans vessel comes closer and closer
He holds the seas fate in his hand !

Violence, terror, raging waters
Dying has scared us, nowhere to go now
Darkness prevails, no one to save us
Every one man for himself !

The red gem of hades is shining too hot
Satans power becomes strong
His armies have killed so many before us
A sacrifice must be done
The door of the chosen has opened for us
What sanctuary will we see ?
See him panic, crying in lust
Screaming hell get me !

Violence, terror, raging waters
Dying has scared us, nowhere to go now
Darkness prevails, no one to save us
Every one man for himself !

Our ship sailed on through the violent bearing sea
Not knowing of the danger waiting in store for me
We wound up all in mayhem, the vessel tossed and turned
The compass that had led us, we watched it slowly burn

Well never see our homeland, we know it all right then
That fate was on the second hand of borrowed time again
For that evil pathed our way ...

Every one man for himself !

Cast to the fire
Banned by the light
Worship and listen to me
Condemned in his mind
In his evil place
Your fate is all that you'll see
I am the one
To show you the path
Salvation is in the fields
Listen up children and follow me
Or I'll let you pay
The price of malachi!

Disciples of the watch
Obey!
Or I'll burn you to that cross

Holding the mass
The demon is cast
To resurrect your soul
Calling to him
Is like an evil sin
A prophet is what they're told
Taking the land under command
Killing friend or foe
Feel the might of his evil wrath
Desecrate your soul

Disciples of the watch
Obey!
Or I'll burn you to that cross

Cast to the fire
Banned by the light
Worship and listen to me
Condemned in his mind
In his evil place
Your fate is all that you'll see
I am the one
To show you the path
Salvation is in the fields
Listen up children and follow me
Or I'll let you pay
The price of malachi!

Disciples of the watch
Obey!
Or I'll burn you to that cross
