Lyrics

1. Going Down

Did you see my hatred rise?
Did you feel my rage inside?
I try to be calm
I’m pushing it down, pushing it down
But I get so fucking… furious

Out of my mind
You will feel it
You will taste it
Come on

I WILL BE THE ONE THAT HUNTS YOU
I WILL BE THE ONE THAT ENDS YOUR LIFE
YOU BETTER KEEP ON RUNNING
YOU ARE THE PREY, YOU’RE GOING DOWN

What goes around, comes around
I’ve shut my eyes, but not this time
I’m ready to fi ght, I’m crushing your pride
I’m bringing you down, ‘cause I feel so fucking… furious

Out of my mind
You will feel it,
You will taste it
Come on

I WILL BE THE ONE THAT HUNTS YOU
I WILL BE THE ONE THAT ENDS YOUR LIFE
YOU BETTER KEEP ON RUNNING
YOU ARE THE PREY, YOU’RE GOING DOWN

2. Before My Blackened Eyes

I close my eyes but the demons won’t fall asleep
They wander around, in the blink of an eye, I’m weak… again
And all this time
Been fighting the dark inside my mind
And all my crimes
Are haunting me now, they just won’t die

AND BEFORE MY BLACKENED EYES
THERE’S A WORLD THAT I DESPISE
AND THE SUN WILL NEVER RISE
BEFORE MY BLACKENED EYES

I’ve closed the door to
the other side of me
The stones on my chest are making it hard to breathe… again
And all my life
Been struggling so hard day and night
And how I’ve tried
To find out how to get by

AND BEFORE MY BLACKENED EYES
THERE’S A WORLD THAT I DESPISE
AND THE SUN WILL NEVER
RISE
BEFORE MY BLACKENED EYES

AND THE DARK INSIDE MY MIND
IS DRAINING ME FROM LIFE
AND THE SUN WILL NEVER RISE
BEFORE MY BLACKENED EYES

3. Black Heart

Like Jesus. They’ve nailed my hands to the cross
You watch me bleed but I can see
You cannot feel, no
sorrow.
No tears
‘Cause I have nothing to regret
The things I’ve done is for the one, The Master that I follow

I AM THE DEMON, I AM VENGEANCE
I AM THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS, I AM THE DEMON
I AM VENGEANCE, I AM THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS
I AM YOUR BLACK HEART

You fear me. I know your reasons; it’s in your eyes
But putting me here won’t end my time
I’ll always be behind you.
You’ll know me.
When I take off my disguise
You’ll see yourself and realise
I’m the black heart inside you

I AM THE DEMON, I AM VENGEANCE
I AM THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS, I AM THE DEMON
I AM VENGEANCE, I AM THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS
I AM YOUR BLACK HEART

I’m nailed to the cross, I can see that you feel no sorrow
I’ll die for the one, the blackest of all, The Master that I follow
I’m your black heart

4. Godsend Man

Bloodstained hands accept my offer
Ravenous I search for more
Leaving you on the fl oor to suffer
I’m pitch black evil to the core

Godsend man
Born of fools Preaching to the mass
Obey my rules Godsend man
Get on your knees
You will find salvation in me

ONE LAST PRAYER AND YOU HIT THE FLOOR
HE HAS BEEN THE ONE YOU’VE BEEN SEARCHING AND HOPING FOR…
BUT NOT ANYMORE GODSEND MAN ACTING LIKE A WHORE
GODSEND MAN ALL I WANT, WANT, WANT IS MORE

Join me on my road to ruin
Hard to wander, hard to walk
Nothing you can do will stop me
Don’t beg me on your knees like a fucking dog

Godsend man
Born of fools
Preachin’ to the mass
Obey my rules Godsend man
Get on your knees
You will find salvation in me

ONE LAST PRAYER AND YOU HIT THE FLOOR
HE HAS BEEN THE ONE YOU’VE BEEN SEARCHING AND HOPING FOR…
BUT NOT ANYMORE GODSEND MAN ACTING LIKE A WHORE
GODSEND MAN ALL I WANT, WANT, WANT IS MORE

5. Enemy Mine

It’s the sound of thunder, from a million miles

It’s the face of Jesus, with a madman’s smile

Stuck in the corner
Painted with blood
Over the border and escape the flood

I CAN HELP YOU DO IT, IT’S TIME FOR MY RETURN
THIS LIFE’S BEEN WASTED…
NOW WATCH THEM BURN

It’s the eyes of Judas, on a magazine
It’s the smell of treason, beside your king and queen
Out of order
Covered in black
Stuck in a corner and there is no way back

I CAN HELP YOU DO IT, IT’S TIME FOR MY RETURN
THIS LIFE’S BEEN WASTED…
NOW WATCH THEM BURN
THIS LIFE’S BEEN WASTED, IT’S TIME FOR MY RETURN
I CAN HELP YOU DO IT
NOW WATCH THEM BURN

6. Leeches

I feel my wings have been broken, I just can’t feel the pain
I feel the words are unspoken, It just don’t mean a thing
I don’t care what you need, But I’m gonna make you bleed
Nourishment to your greed, I’m gonna make you fucking bleed

SOMEBODY SAVE ME, LEECHES ON MY SKIN
I’M DYING FROM WITHIN, BUT WHY CAN’T YOU HEAR ME
WHY CAN’T YOU SAVE ME, AND THE LEECHES ON MY SKIN

I feel my eyes have been blinded
I just can’t see the pain
My eyes have never minded
It just don’t seem the same
There’s no way you’ll succeed
‘cause I am gonna make you bleed
You will follow, I will lead
I’m gonna make you fucking bleed

SOMEBODY SAVE ME
LEECHES ON MY SKIN
I’M DYING FROM WITHIN
BUT WHY CAN’T YOU HEAR ME
WHY CAN’T YOU SAVE ME
AND THE LEECHES ON MY SKIN

7. Chasing The Dragon

Looking over my shoulder
I keep staring at the sun
Even though I know my saviour will come from the barrel of a gun
I got to make you believe, I am the one that you need
I got to make you believe, You should’ve listened to me
Stop wishing, you see
You better listen to me

HE STARES AT ME, EVEN THOUGH HE CAN’T SEE
I CAN SEE HIS EYE, THE EYE OF A NEEDLE
SCREAMS MY NAME, FROM INSIDE MY VEINS, I CAN’T FEEL THE PAIN
I AM… CHASING THE DRAGON

Trying to find a wagon, That will take me out of here
Even though I know my life’s been wasted by chasing the dragon
I got to make you believe, I am the one that you need
I got to make you believe, You should’ve listened to me
Stop wishing, you see
You better listen to me

HE STARES AT ME, EVEN THOUGH HE CAN’T SEE
I CAN SEE HIS EYE, THE EYE OF A NEEDLE
I AM… CHASING THE DRAGON

8. Banisher Of The Light

On a leash, do as I please
Under my command
You will learn, I will teach
Can you feel, what is unreal?
You’re about to see, all the evil that’s in me
And I can’t control my anger
I just can’t control my anger

AND I CAN’T CONTROL MY ANGER,
I’LL BE THE JUDGE OF WRONG OR RIGHT
AND I CAN’T CONTROL MY ANGER,
I’M A BANISHER… OF THE LIGHT

Not the first, you’re not the last
Take a deep breath
Pray to god, I’ll do it fast
What will come and what has been
You can never win
You’re my remission of sin
And I can’t control my anger
I just can’t control my anger

AND I CAN’T CONTROL MY ANGER,
I’LL BE THE JUDGE OF WRONG OR RIGHT
AND I CAN’T CONTROL MY ANGER,
I’M A BANISHER… OF THE LIGHT

 9. Dead Rising

There is no chance in hell
When you’ve burned your bridges
Only time will tell, If we lost our chances
Where in time could I be?
When I smell the fi re, There are things I shouldn’t see
And it’s called desire

So bring it back, So bring it back, Now bring it back
So bring it back

DEAD AND RISING, COMING BACK FROM A SHALLOW GRAVE
COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD TO HAUNT YOU
DEAD AND RISING, AND THE TORTURE NEVER STOPS
COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD TO HAUNT YOU

There is nothing more to tell, Wiping the blood of your knife
Only time will tell, When you roll the dice
Where in hell have you been? Writing your name on a stone
Tell me what you have seen, When you’re pushing the bones
Shovel by shovel, Blood and gore

DEAD AND RISING, COMING BACK FROM A SHALLOW GRAVE
COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD TO HAUNT YOU
DEAD AND RISING, AND THE TORTURE NEVER STOPS
COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD TO HAUNT YOU

10. In My Control

Give it, give it a go and tell it to my face again
How could, how could I have known that everything I’ve done is in vain?
And I’ve been touched by the hands of god, you will feel this
I am not sure you’ve understood, who my god is

YOU TOOK WHAT WAS MINE, BUT NOW IT IS TIME
BODY & SOUL
I WANT YOU IN MY CONTROL

How can, how can it be so fucking hard to understand?
Now you, now you will see why they call me Satan’s hand
And I’ve been touched by the hands of god, you will feel this
I am not sure you’ve understood, who my god is

YOU TOOK WHAT WAS MINE, BUT NOW IT IS TIME
BODY & SOUL
I WANT YOU IN MY CONTROL

11. Music To Interrogate By

There is time for you to save
So why don’t you dig your own grave
And if you want me to, I’ll even come and help you
There is space for you to make
Like you did before, it’s for you to take
And if you let me to, I’ll even show you how to do

GOD DAMN HOW QUICKLY YOU FADED
I’VE NEVER BEEN INTERROGATED
DESPITE AND DESPAIR, GOD DAMN HOW QUICKLY YOU FADED
I’VE NEVER BEEN INTERROGATED
DESPITE AND DESPAIR

There is much for you to say
So why don’t you ask my mind to stay
And if you’re asking nicely, you will feel my anger rising
Where is the time for you to save?
When you’re digging your own grave
And if you want me to, I’ll put the dirt back over you

12. State Of Mind

I feel like I’m drifting away, I feel like I’m losing control
Buried in a 6-6-6 feet deep grave
Don’t know the reason at all, Drained of the water
The Water that stains my soul, Stained, getting harder
Harder to keep in control

Feel like an angel
But I’m lost in a room full of hell
Anxiety is standing by my side
Watching and waiting

I FEEL IT SLIPPING AWAY
AWAY FROM THE LIFE THAT I KNOW
I’M LOST IN A 6-6-6 PACK STATE OF MIND
DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, WHO AM I

Enslaved by the drinking
Liquids that cleans my mind
Sights in the distance
That I cannot leave behind

I FEEL IT SLIPPING AWAY
AWAY FROM THE LIFE THAT I KNOW
I’M LOST IN A 6-6-6 PACK STATE OF MIND
DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, WHO AM I

Buried in a 6-6-6 feet deep grave
