Xenophobia 03:49
Downward they come In their slow decent They are hiding the nature of their intent now! Masking the nature Of what’s true We’ve been transformed Into something new I can feel the beasts Taking control, I will never succumb They try to change me Rearrange me What shall I become? Joining the ranks That have met their end We all now leave our bodies As we transcend We are the Horrors that keep you Awake at night So we hunt for the thrill And we live for the fight I am no longer human I won't conform I am no longer human I’ve been transformed I can feel the beasts Taking control, I will never succumb They try to change me Rearrange me What shall I become? Altering the masses, With such unbridled charm This is only the beginning dear, So sound the alarm We came to party, We don’t give a fuck I will never give a fuck I am no longer human, I wont conform I am no longer human

BITCH! I am the legend, The truth untold, Thrown away without Hesitation We are the soldiers With words so bold Fighting our way through the Devastation Hopefully wishing that This will never be the end But, we were left with the choices That we could never comprehend, By Judas, The coward, the schemer, The fake Who knew that I would be the one, You forsake? Burning bridges down to ashes, But I’m not the one holding matches We lived and we died Only to be reborn I promise Hell hath no fury Like a brother scorned I never knew That you would run away I know that this is what you feared And in time you’ll soon find To your dismay, That I’m still standing here I know, I’m what you fear, I’m the nightmare That you won’t wake up from, I know I’m what you fear I’m the nightmare That you won’t wake up from Taunting the reaper, You marked me for death, But I’m going nowhere, So don’t hold your breath You’ve started a war That cannot be won, You’ll soon see your actions Can’t be undone I never knew that you would run away I know that this is what you feared And in time, you’ll soon find To your dismay That I’m still standing here I refuse to die I will never fucking die.

Liar, monster, deceiver, disgrace The words drip from your tongue, With such a flawless grace But now your veil falls And your mask has cracked. I’ll rip out that spine That you lack I hope you hear me scream, Oh shit! I won't fall prey, To your deceit I’ll have you begging for mercy At my feet That pretty face, Could only take you so far, I’ll show them all Exactly what you are You were my biggest mistake I should have never believed in you We knew exactly what was at stake Darling, nothing you said was true Bitch, Say one more word, I’ll rip your fucking throat out Bitch, Say one more word, I’ll rip your fucking throat out The lips of a coward Speak so well The words of the brave. Now I’ll watch you Take your words To the grave Fuck You! I should have seen this coming If only I knew. I’ve never known hate, Until I met you. You were my biggest mistake, I should have never believed in you, We knew exactly what was at stake Darling, Nothing you said was true I’ve been dreaming, Yeah, Of my angel. This can’t be true, No it’s not you! How could I have been so blind, To not see the forest for the trees Now would you please come clean, Cause at the drop of a hat, I know you’ll drop that act And show the true colors of the demon I know you to be So talk me down to the ground, Those hips and fingertips Won’t work this time. Now I’ll be on my way, And all you’ll hear me say is Fuck this shit, Don’t act Like you have nothing to hide, Fuck this shit, I hope you, Choke on your pride

Tear this place apart. You thought you could hide the truth from them, Hollow words shroud your flaws, Little do they know (little did we know) You were a worm without a cause. But as we cast our pasts aside I see the fear within your eyes So who are we To judge the flames Should they decide to Swallow you alive? The time has finally come For us to take a stand (Your cover’s compromised, At last, the secret’s out) With our lungs expanded, Now, we’ll make them understand (It’s due time that everyone know what you’re all about) I can’t deny That I fell for every word you said, (Word you said) But I’ve won this fight (Won this fight, we’ve won this fight) Cause I know I fill every thought in your head. God forbid you show some backbone You spineless fuck. Bury the truth, And I’ll bury you Let these words Become a constant reminder, Of how you manipulate. You breathe lies To anyone who’ll hear Even inventing false truths To those you hold most dear I can’t deny That I fell for every word you said, (Word you said) But I’ve won this fight (Won this fight, we’ve won this fight) Cause I know I fill every thought in your head. You won’t live to see the light of day I swear to God that I will make you pay.

No, Oh Dear God, No There’s some that may think I’ve gone mad I swear you couldn’t, Be more wrong With such an evil, That he had, I knew this couldn’t Be prolonged. I felt it look into, My soul, I watched him take in, His last breath This day, I take on, A new role, This is the day I, Become death This gift can’t be a curse (It’s time, now rise, rebel) I’ve heard the heavens and the earth (I’ve heard many things in hell) I know it’s me he haunts (Did I choose this out of greed?) This is no longer a want (This is no longer a want) This has become a need (This has become a need) How could I sleep at night, With so much blood on my hands? It’s only cause I’ve known This was always my plan I’ve held my tongue now, and I’ve held it well, But there’s a secret that I just can’t keep (Oh no) These walls hold a story that I dare not tell (Dare not tell) Skeletons not meant for closets Lay buried beneath my feet. This can't be right, It’s all in my head. I swear to God It’s still beating It is the beating of his hideous heart I always knew that it would come to this All I’ve done here is created art He’ll never know his ignorance was my bliss I hear it beating (3x) It is the beating of his hideous heart Harbor your thoughts please, And halt your lungs, For they can't ever know, They must never know what we have done I’ve held my tongue now, and I’ve held it well, But there’s a secret that I just can’t keep (Oh no) These walls hold a story that I dare not tell (Dare not tell) Skeletons not meant for closets Lay buried beneath my feet. Stay hidden from your conscience I dare not speak a word I hold my thoughts to myself Lest my desires be heard But I’ve delved way too far Into my own mind, And I no longer fear What I know I’ll find I’ve held my tongue now, and I’ve held it well, But there’s a secret that I just can’t keep (Oh no) These walls hold a story that I dare not tell (Dare not tell) Skeletons not meant for closets Lay buried beneath my feet.

So is this how it ends, With our love on hold? You’ve left me out here all alone. I swear this could never be foretold. You spoke with words so sharp And I let my love shine But now I’m left to face the fear That you will never again be mine Where do we go from here? I just don’t know Where did you go my dear? Where did you go? You didn’t shed a tear What were you scheming? This was my biggest fear I must be dreaming. Those three word lies Led to my demise You didn’t have to say a word girl, I could see it in your eyes Bring me back to the start, Back when “Baby, I love you” was all we could say Bring me back to your heart, We said we’d never, ever let it end this way No one can ever describe the feeling The moment when you realize you’ve lost Everything you had left… TRUST! Baby girl, Baby fucking girl, My diamond, my pearl You know you were my world. My dearest love, Just look what you have done, My only solace now Lies in the barrel of this gun To my surprise, I watched you cut all ties. You didn’t have to say a word girl I could see it in your eyes Bring me back to the start, Back when “Baby, I love you” was all we could say Bring me back to your heart, We said we’d never, ever let it end this way Don’t act like this didn’t mean a thing Don’t tell them that I was just a fling Don’t throw away the memories we shared Don’t lie to me and say you didn’t care Oh, Baby girl Bring me back to the start, Back when “Baby, I love you” was all we could say Bring me back to your heart We said we’d never, ever let it end this way Bring me back to the start, Back when “Baby, I love you” was all we could say Bring me back to your heart, We said we’d never, ever let it end this way (Don’t act like this didn’t mean a thing Don’t tell them that I was just a fling Don’t throw away the memories we shared Don’t lie to me and say you didn’t care)
7.
I remember like it was Yesterday The first time you said everything You had to say You saw (You saw), The me (The me), That no one else has seen But my love (My love), Don’t end (Don’t end), Now baby, let me show you what I mean When we’re fussing And when we’re fighting All I think about is just how so enticing You are (You are), Baby girl No matter what you do, I’ll be loving you And it's never gonna change, Never gonna change Pretty mama, just because We argue Don’t mean that I don’t pay attention To you I think about everything we’ve Gone through And how I fall in love with everything You do From the way you tell me that it’s Just not fair (Just not fair) And even when you yell, I cant help but Stop and stare Because When we’re fussing And when we’re fighting All I think about is just how so enticing You are (You are), Baby girl No matter what you do, I’ll be loving you And it's never gonna change, Never gonna change I must admit that when we fight I can’t help but get lost in your eyes From the way you talk to how your hairs falls Heh, you got me gone But baby girl, can we take it nice and slow Oh yea Cause we done came way too damn far for me to Not let you know that When we’re fussing And when we’re fighting All I think about is just how so enticing You are (You are), Baby girl No matter what you do, I’ll be loving you And it's never gonna change, Never gonna change x2

All For You 03:24
Whoa, Whoa They said we All sound the same Saying we’ll Never hit fame Thinking that this Was a game But all their eyes are on us now I can't believe the Lies that were spread while I’ve been living in this Suffocation We Don’t know when to quit And dealing with your shit Won’t slow down our Domination We do this all for you We’ll never stop. We do this all for you It’s time to show them What we’ve got I’m sick of this shit We used our blood, Sweat and tears, We rose and Showed no fear, I’ve words that will Make them cheer And I refuse to shut my mouth They always seem to hate On what we all create Thinking that they Really matter You just won't know What to do When we bring something new Just to make your Whole world shatter We do this all for you We’ll never stop. We do this all for you It’s time to show them What we’ve got You’ll never know what we’ve been through The time spent learning what we’ve grown into And all you do is speak with words so dire But you’re just adding fuel to the fire With gilded lungs and silver tongues The world is against us But the incessant sounds of them running their mouths Is drowned out by the roar of the crowd We do this all for you We’ll never stop. We do this all for you It’s time to show them What we’ve got We do this all for you We’ll never stop. We do this all for you And it’s all for you

I live my own life I live my own life You never had faith in me, You’re just like them So who are you to tell me Who I really am It is the workings Of my worst fears and The constant reminders Of why I am here that have Shown me the strength That I hold within So now I’ll show them What you're hiding Under your skin Day after day I have dealt with the stress Of the masses consistently Making a mess of the Life that I lead By expressing their doubt And this torment has built up So now I will shout I live my life For me and no one else I live my life For no one but myself Fuck your judgment Fuck your judgment Who the hell do you think that you are Thinking your words could really Leave scars They’ve tried to hurt me but it's Far too late Now I’ll do what I do best And give them a reason to hate I live my life For me and no one else I live my life For no one but myself I live my life For me and no one else I live my life For no one but myself 2x

It’s over Change your course Your times up, I swear that I’ll have no remorse Now watch me As I grow You’ve done this to yourself And now you must reap what you sow You took your solace In the confines of your precious home. But when I’m done Olympus shall be only broken stone You threw anything you could At me just to block my path But much like Rome, and just like Zeus, You too shall feel my wrath (I bring you the death of a leader) I KILLED ZEUS I took a sword to his chest I KILLED ZEUS I watched him bleed to death I’ve seen your treachery Shine through with every word (Your honor decays With everything you say) But you’re just a ghost now, Your voice will go unheard (You’ll never haunt me You’ll never haunt me) You try and act like you’re the best I say we put that to the test Here and now, It’s not optional, You’re my obstacle, I am Unstoppable I burned Rome down to the ground I watched her people scream I burned Rome down to the ground I hope it haunts your dreams I burned Rome I did what you could not I burned Rome And now I watch her people rot You piece of fucking shit You will never be me You piece of fucking shit This was always meant to be Powerless, (Judging me) You were forced to watch (Watching me) As I stood so tall And now I’ll tear down your empire (I watched you fall) Wall by wall (Wall by wall) CHORUS I am Unstoppable
