MESSIAH COMPLEX LYRICS

1. Ascension

2. Reckoning

Blood and tears this is the start of the end
Contorted and broken we pick ourselves up
There is no turning back the hands
Don’t look back now

We take another look at ourselves,
The monster under our bed now lives within
Lips that would kiss form prayers of a broken man
Now speak

You have much to lose,
You dream of death and the darkness that slowly feeds on you
You cling to life like it has meaning, the truth is yet to be revealed
Look around you, deceit and betrayal is all that awaits you
There is only one solution. You must give in

The ignorant will suffer
They bite the hand that feeds,
Oh ignorance is bliss
So close to the edge
Not wasting anytime
Lined up in single file to get knocked down
Blind, the road never ends, lift your heads, see
They sing a symphony of sin, there is another out

Carving your way through the darkness and whispers,
Shape without form, questions without answers
Take to the stage
Rise above it all
This is a dead land,
Rescued by a hollow hand

I dare not meet their eyes in this world or the next
Asking forgiveness rather than permission we take this world one day at a time
Now step up or step the fuck out
This is a reckoning
We are the living dead,
We are dead

3. Erroneous Reality

The moving pictures beneath her eyelids send her heart racing
The scent of fear is here, nightmares meet reality

She traded in her books for a short red dress, such a shame
She lies awake in the dark of night, no one to hear her scream
Little did she know the girl in the reflection wanting nothing more than to bring her pain
Though she tries with all her might her thoughts will not give up this fight

Left with nothing but her own shame and tears of regret
She will never, never know, so clueless, gullible

Hollow, wasted, worthless, fucking hopeless
Hollow, wasted, worthless, fucking hopeless

She’s left with nothing but her own shame and tears of regret
She will never know, so clueless, gullible

She sleepwalks through this erroneous reality
Stepping on all the wrong fingers, her time is up

These darkened days will haunt her forever, all she wanted was to be someone

A tear runs down her blackened cheek
Reality hits like a fucking truck

She wakens beneath the city lights, colder than ever, she’s given another chance

She’s left with nothing but her own shame and tears of regret
She will never know, so clueless, gullible
She’s left with nothing but her own shame and tears of regret
She will never know, so clueless, gullible

4. Vox Deum

Reach out
We are cold, we are the darkness
Unite as one and go forth
They beat us to the ground, but like the dust, we will rise

And in all the confusion
You slip back into patterns,
And I play the strings once more

No one to break your fall, hanging by the threads of life, it is time

There is no light, no mercy, just a void, and the chaos within
Forsake the voice of reason and you will find the hard way out

Vox Deum

Reach out
We are cold, we are the darkness
Unite as one and go forth
They beat us to the ground, but like the dust, we will rise

The day has come, begin the march
Today death gets the short end of the stick

Pretentious smiles wiped clean like a slate
It’s time you were brought to your fucking knees

5. Perdition

The cattle drop, as he walks the fields with strides of despair
The saints perdition, go forth fitness the epiphany of the fallen race

Masquerading Judas walks among them, masked in obscurity
All hope is gone
All hope is gone
All hope is gone

So sit back and watch the cities burn to the fucking ground

Rise up listen to their cries, the cries of the weak
The dead adorned by searing skies, a night never to be forgotten

Forget my face

Fuck
I’m gonna eat you like the plague
Like the fucking plague

Contradictory lives, the pieces fall in place
Written in blood the prolonged gehenna

Waiting in fear, the reaper kisses the pitied fool goodnight for the last time

We are legion for we are many
We are legion for we are many

Now
Right now
Right now
