I am the new flesh

A distorted human being

Projections altered states within my mind

Is this a dream or another state of consciousness?

Reality a fiction in my eyes



Violence engulfs the living dream

Reprograms me for control

Torture viewed upon the screen

Influence over us all



I am the new flesh

A distorted human being

A soldier in the battle for control

I see my new self in pixilated ignorance

An image condemned to leave me cold



(Pre-chorus)

Perpetuation of fraud

Indoctrination your God



(Chorus)

Victimize masochistic masses 

Dehumanize to gain control

Sterilize all noble passions

Fortify your stranglehold



Pacify the living torment

Genocide of the soul

Mortified you come to an end

Humankind you're bought and sold



(Repeat 1st verse)



I live confined by all that I perceive 

Kill me projections of life made to deceive



(Pre-chorus)

Time moves in this vicious endless circle

Fulfilling the so called will of the divine

To enter this world alive is the same as when we die

Crawling on our knees in service of time



Chorus:

Chasing a dream you cannot seem to forget

Mistakes that you've made remembered in your dying breath

Time has a way of collecting its debts 

Bringing us closer to death



Time adds to the weight upon heavy shoulders

With the knowledge that you will surely die



(Chorus)



Feel the decay of your life



Cruelty is false eternity

For the ones immortal in their own minds

We're born and raised to die

There's no meaning to this life

Indebted to a God enslaved by time



Man is a servant enslaved by time

God is a servant enslaved by…



Time moves in this vicious endless circle

Fulfilling the so called will of the divine

There is no time for regret only regret with time

The fountains of your youth have run dry

My lust for power is my life

I align myself with those in darkness

I do refuse to see yet no I am not blind

Now I must endure this on my own



Ambitious and cold

Now die alone



I leave the ones I loved behind

Following my wanton heart of darkness

My selfish needs they change constantly with time

And now my dreams have turned to stone



Ambitious and cold

Now die alone



My disease - mortality

Long to live in memories

Selfish needs will bring no peace

Admit fault to admit defeat



Chorus:

My sins are atoned

In rapture renowned

My sins are atoned

 

I see the world through narrow eyes

You all were fashioned in my likeness

Am I not God and has my kingdom come?

No, I must endure this on my own



Exalt me and praise my likeness

Sickening being your time will come

Cut from me this rib of darkness

Set me free to carry on

Spiraling down into a world without a conscious 

Selflessness a vision rarely seen

Crawling out of the sickness that surrounds us 

Drifting from a womb of selfish greed



The righteous are longing for death

Martyrs now cognizant 



Filled with doubt my hatred becomes boundless

Cannot rest in dens of enemies

Let them pray for a change that they'll call progress

Renew their faith so that they may proceed

 

The righteous are longing for death

Martyrs now cognizant



I see the herds of passive flesh

Plunging to their untimely deaths

Our world is falling to pieces

 

Chorus:

The essence of this world is rotten

Decaying in a violent sea

Lost souls forgotten

In perpetual dormancy

 

I see the herds of passive flesh

Wandering from the hope they've left 

Cannot forget their faces



(Chorus)

Endless seas of spontaneous generation

Extinction in the wake of the new dawn

Erosion of our species comes now in due time

Evolution at the cost of our own blood 



Writhing in misery rapture comes now to us all

Hideous violent beings your decadence has come and gone



Chorus:

Worthless forms of life

Caught in the path of resistance 

Your old order dies

We're leveling the plane of existence



Cleansing act of insidious evolution

Malignancy expunged now from this world	 

A new form of life – a new era has begun 

Degradation the commencement of rebirth



(Chorus)



The waters will rise and your cities will crumble

Washed away with the tide drift off into nothing

The winter arrives and then turns to fire 

No one will survive you're compost for creation

 

(Chorus)



Your old order dies!

They come to steal my soul

For this shell in their control

I look into darkness that stares back at me

Trapped in this cell I long to be free

 

My mind tortured day and night as I choke back a cry

Condemned to observation with this cloned form of life

Baring my resemblance I want him to die



Chorus:

Artificially grown

Manufactured humanity

We're genetically cloned



It's eyes now seem to look with a gaze made of stone

A morbid fascination to reap what they have sown 

I murder this reflection so that I stand alone 



The secrets of the soul

Unlocked as my sanity unfolds

Watch as this false form of life seems to fade 

The essence of which I've learned to hate 



In secrecy carried out experimentation 

Horrific dream from which I cannot awaken

Heartless being soulless incarnation

Insanity - mentally deconstructed

Oh god is this the only path for me

Or is there some choice left?

While reaching for the stars we fall into regret

In deepest times of woe our destinies are met



The pain in me has finally left

I died to pay my last respects

To the thing I was and now I must endure

I know now I was weak and suffering's the cure



Chorus:

I'm my own savior

God lies in me

Reborn I'm my own creator

I control my destiny…



Control my destiny…

I control my destiny 



We fall then rise with this everlasting ebb and flow

Empty as I lay here in waiting

Looking for a sign of life within this gloomy soul

Our time has expired but I will not let go 

Inside of me I fight this battle alone



Chorus:

And the full moon will rise

On this world we've forsaken

Now that we've finally arrived

Let the sleeper awaken



Dystopia your children lay broken

Now sleep and dream through this future uncertain

Let the sun warm my face as my eyes burn with sulfur

Let me drink from your fountain just to die then of hunger 



(Chorus)



Pain leaves their eyes 

Now is there hope or only a fantasy?



Feel the change now with the dawn

Wondering what's to become

Expediency of death and birth

Descending down into this blackened earth



Shadows cast to obstruct our view

Concealing us from a shameful truth

Cling the rotten breast and thirst for life

Hear the weeping brood of all mankind



Pain leaves their eyes 

Now is there hope or only a fantasy?
