WANTED TO BELIEVE

 

 

Wanted to Believe

​

I hope you know

I wanted to believe

In better angels, brighter days

In redemption, wholeheartedly

But your eyes evade

Still you deceive

A lying child (lying to children)

Desecrating boundaries

 

Where hate is stronger than love

When spite the source of life

There is no hope

Only blood and ruin

 

I was born

So full of love

I wanted to believe

Now, I am torn

Bereft of trust

Still trying to believe

 

A river of lies cuts through

This wasteland we're dying in

Give me back my stolen youth

You know I wanted to...

...I wanted to believe

 

So speak to me, impeccably

Love is all we need

And when trust is broken

So is everything

​

You leave me no choice...

 

Now I enforce

Ruthless boundaries

Tenfold penalties

For those who may betray me

 

Never again

Will you do this to me

I can't believe that I was so blind

Never again

Will you see me grovel

 

Never again

Never again

​

​

One Hell (For Another)

​

There are depths we have yet to reach

Ignore the moments that truly teach

We can make it, we will make it –

One hell of our own design

We can make it, we will make it –

Replace the hell from simpler times

(To run in circles and miss the signs)

 

Do you desire utopia?

Do you demand sheer perfection?

Then the work is upon us

To cleanse the Earth of all abomination!

​

The zeal in our hearts illuminates our path

We'll leave this hell

We'll never look back

​

One hell for another!

One day we'll make ours last

Forever

​

Until You Die

​

Until you die, I won't be satisfied

For what you've done to me

I will not be at peace

And even when you're gone

Stains you leave will linger on

Tainting my sight

Stinging my veins

Since you, nothing's been the same

 

I can't recall

The moment I shattered

Your deceit crept in

Permeating my reality

I was reduced

To shell and shadow

But you know I survived

Just to watch you bleed

Like me

 

Until you die, I won't be satisfied

Nor will I be appeased

You expect me to love my fate?

A heart crippled by hate

Until I die,

Why won't you die?

 

An echo of a bygone time

Reminds me of so much love...

When we were one...

 

I can't believe this hate was born of love

And I can't believe what I've become

 

How I've wished you dead

For years

Countless times I cursed your name

But I still can't bear

To look at myself

In the mirror

 

 

Messianic Age

 

Final!

The final word

It flows through me

Dread

Your dread absolved

Replaced with certainty

 

You'll never know what it's like to be chosen

The light of truth shines on me

The rest are living in delusion

But I can condense your reality

Only I can set you free

 

Let's hasten the end, my friend

It's all been written, you know

Cling not to what we've been given

The fire is coming, it's time to go

 

The next world is calling to us

This one was meant for dust

 

Your dread replaced with certainty

Yes, we can know sweet relief

We can condense reality

All we have to do is believe

 

Believe!

The final word flows through me

 

You'll never know what it's like to be chosen

Burdens of proof become obsolete

We can't live without illusion

So let us condense reality

 

Only I can set you free

 

 

Forbidden Images

 

One thousand years and four hundred more

The prophet’s will is done by the sword

Jihad – the martyred path of his minions

To seize the land and slay opposition

 

Fair Muslim, I too await

The day on Earth when peace shall reign

But for now, as you serve the snakes

Can you rightly say it’s justice you crave?

 

Eight billion lives and soon to be ten!

Desperate for reasons just to exist

Like cattle, we’re branded and numbered

Corralled by herd and driven to slaughter

 

Fair Christian, I too believe

Humanity has been led astray

Should power stay in tyrants’ hands

There will be no deliverance

 

Your savior died for nothing, didn’t he?

 

There was only one true Christian

And now he’s obsolete

One god ascends, his name is praised

As children bleed

 

Eight decades pass

And nothing’s changed
