The Message
03:32
|
|||
I've sent this message straight to you,
with hope that it will bleed through time.
Soon your whole world and all you know,
will begin the transition to mine.
It's not that far away.
And it started yesterday.
Soon we will be betrayed.
All the sheep to led astray.
The first shot will ring through softly,
sent to you through your computer screen.
A trickle down effect that no one could predict
would ignite like ethylene.
Sent in a common meme
to destroy all that is free
lies a detrimental thought
that there is murder in the art.
The second shot roars down like thunder
burning through the streets to kiss the sky.
Internet crusaders who worship the politically correct gods
burn their friends alive.
It'll happen all the time.
When art is a major crime.
Search through the sands of time,
expose the great white lie.
Its a message from another me
from another space
from another time
It's a message of a future disgrace,
it bleeds through and we can not rewind.
It says the end is near
Our dreams reign down in fear,
if only we could hear, this message crystal clear.
And I have been here before
witnessed the dawning of decay.
Felt all your raining ashes
drench me in a macabre shade of grey.
In the 22nd century we will be
everything you are but faster and smarter.
In the 22nd century, if you don't agree
prepare to be a new martyr.
And technology will say
it will show us all the way.
If you do not think thats strange,
your world I cannot save.
Its a message from another me
from another space
from another time
It's a message of a future disgrace,
it bleeds through and we can not rewind.
It says the end is near
Our dreams reign down in fear,
if only we could hear, this message crystal clear.
The line is drawn now
Where do you stand
Will you bow down?
How are you underneath,
Just another sinner
Just Another Freak?
They will take our love away,
they will force our judgement day.
This is where it starts.
Rise Against murder in the art.
No I cannot let it go
I cannot turn away
and let our future
radiate decay
Sent in a common meme
lies a detrimental thought,
this is where it starts:
Welcome to Murder In The Art

How did I end up here? A Pile of ashes turned to Mud with your tears.
Did you think that I wouldn't fight back? Did you think that you'd slip through the cracks?
Did you tell yourself it'd be alright, while you cut me deep in the night?
And I have been here many times before, my pride fucked by the ones that I adored, I always rise again and again,
a little wiser and Evil its win win.
If you need a Villain say please.
If you wanna be just like me.
If you need a whore let me know.
I'm here all week to put on a show.
All you have to do is say please, all you have to do is say you need me.
If you want me say please, please, please.
If you want me then do what I need.
If you fuck me say yes, yes, yes,
While I tear off your tight little dress.
If you want me say please, please, please.
If you want me then do what I need.
If you fuck me say yes, yes, yes,
While I tear off your tight little dress.
How could it end like this? Another sinner on the tip of my lips.
And I have been here many times before, my pride cut by the ones that I adored, I always rise again and again,
a little wiser and Evil its win win.
If you need a Villain say please.
If you wanna be just like me.
If you need a whore let me know.
I'm here all week to put on a show.
All you have to do is say please, all you have to do is say you need me.
If you want me say please, please, please.
If you want me then do what I need.

If you want me then do what I need.

While I tear off your tight little dress.

There is something wretched, writhing, hiding down inside of me.
There is something angry yelling "let me go and let me feed".
You unlocked the gate. and you set me free,
the blame's not on me.
My Accomplice can accomplish more when she will not deny,
every little fantasy and urge she is compelled to hide.
All the deviance, sex and violence,
you demand I supply.
And now I weep in disgust,
for all of the lives it will take,
and all of the tears that will flow,
consumed by the art we create.
There's a part of me, locked inside of me,
doesn't wanna see, this reality.
Can you see it, do you have the right eyes?
There is murder in the art most can't recognize.
can you feel it, do you have the right mind?
there is murder in the art most can't recognize.
There's a part of me, locked inside of me,
doesn't wanna see, this reality.
My Brush meets the canvas,
with every stroke of madness,
captures pain and sadness,
my contempt is matchless.
For a moment I can tame the madness spilling out of me.
For a moment I can be the me I always want to be.
Then my logic fades, sanity will not last.
The madness never passed.
Your commission's, imposition forcing me to work and yearn.
My salvation's degradation hindering the rest I've earned.
You enjoy the pain and you need your fix,
I create as you wish.
And now the blank canvas is set,
there's no more time for regrets. In my pursuit I will take you,
capture your essence and break you.
There's a part of me, locked inside of me,
doesn't wanna see, this reality.
Can you see it, do you have the right eyes?
There is murder in the art most can't recognize.
Can you feel it, do you have the right mind?
There is murder in the art most can't recognize.
There's a part of me, locked inside of me,
doesn't wanna see, this reality.
My Brush meets the canvas,
with every stroke of madness,
captures pain and sadness,
my contempt is matchless.
You are my masterpiece and I have worked so long.
I found a brief relief even though it was wrong.
Now the slate is clean, it's time to start again.
I will never be free, my work will never end.

Blood Red Cherry Lips
03:18
|
|||
When she slides in place on top of me.
We connect with no apology.
An instant cure for all my apathy.
Penetrate then create a new tragedy.
The way she moves, glistened in sweat.
I bite her lip, I taste her blood and it makes me want to
Scream
Oh
God
I am Coming.
Skin like porcelain and Blood Red Cherry Lips
so succulent and scary
Love the way they dare me.
To let it go,
To fall away,
To ease my hate,
Between her legs.
Skin like porcelain and Blood Red Cherry Lips
so succulent and scary
Love the way they dare me.
When I slide in place on top of her.
I will never breach her barrier.
She Allows only Her Exterior.
My passion is so inferior.
The way she moves, glistened in sweat.
I bite her lip, I taste her blood and it makes me want to
Scream
Oh
God
I am Dying.
Skin like porcelain and Blood Red Cherry Lips
so succulent and scary
Love the way they dare me.
To wash away
This normal life
I'd give it up,
For just one night.
Skin like porcelain and Blood Red Cherry Lips
so succulent and scary
Love the way they dare me.
Oh - Yeah, Oh - Yeah (call backs)
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, YEAH! (Call backs)

Pain is like the rain it beats down in waves and when the burning wears off only the pleasure remains.
I taste the bitter lips of a blood soaked crimson kiss.
It peels me back, layer by layer, underneath is this what you want?
Am I what you want? Am I what you need? Do I have your permission to help you see?
You are what I want, what I need, you have my permission to make me bleed.
I taste the bitter lips of a blood soaked crimson kiss.
It peels me back, layer by layer, underneath am I what you want?
Pain is like the rain it beats down in waves you can block it out, but the scars remain. .
I crave the dull sensation, my nerve endings degradation.
How have I become addicted, this burning pain is self inflicted.

You are what I want, what I need, you have my permission to make me bleed.
I crave the dull sensation, my nerve endings degradation.
How have I become addicted, this burning pain is self inflicted.
All the centipedes placed in front of me, they are crawling the wall, slowly becoming
Downright tedious, downright arrogant.
All the parasites feeding in my head, take away my fear they couldn't be more
Downright relevant, downright arrogant.

When her head moves up and down, it's so profound, our hearts beat
in sync to the sound.
Our eyes forever connect and I respect the taught control in her neck.
I've been initiated, and so degraded, I've lost control
I feel the way she breathes, her hips and lips, they play a carnal melody.
there is no turning back, she will attack, until my Iron will can crack.
Dear God make my complete, her smell so sweet, let my worship at her feet.
Against the odds,
we connect.
Together we don't care about the world we neglect.
Against the odds,
I can see
The Children of the Night Their eyes glaring down at me.
I scream Cher Chaz La Femme
My pain she will condemn
We fuck La Luna De Miel
Her Lust is the only thing that's real.
There's nothing more satisfying than this!
We will suffer all the children
There's nothing temptation cannot fix!
We Will suffer all the children.
Shaking in the bed I can't sleep, my dreams will weep, hope pouring down through the sheets.
My Scars eat me alive, a matter of time, until my burning body abides.
Well I have graduated, love castrated, I'm in control.
This is what we do to survive we take then give, split our aching nerves alive.
I'm numb and medicated, and so frustrated, I need her hole.
I push her past the place, our tongues embrace, I slide her up and down through grace.
Against the odds,
we connect.
Together we don't care about the world we neglect.
Against the odds,
I can see
The Children of the Night Their eyes glaring down at me.
I scream Cher Chaz La Femme
My pain she will condemn
We fuck La Luna De Miel
Her Lust is the only thing that's real.
There's nothing more satisfying than this!
We will suffer all the children
There's nothing temptation cannot fix!
We Will suffer all the children.

Meet Mr. Violator
04:15
|
|||
There is a part of me inside of me that's clawing to get free and be in this society.
My dark reflection staring back at me is not who I thought I'd see in this reality.
Still the urge it drives me wild,
to cloak myself in the midnight style.
Still the urge it drive me sane,
to wrap myself in the steel of pain.
Still the urge it rules my life,
nothing better than the feel of a knife.
But in my own defense I tried to feed the need to always release this.
Mr. Violator, instigator, fornicator, force of nature,
everything that makes you open your mind.
Meet Mr. Violator,
cloaked in a shroud of lies.
Wrapped in the steel God gave him,
one kiss and he'll own your mind.
Meet Mr. Violator,
nothing he says can be true.
Wrapped in the steel God gave him,
one kiss and he'll kill you, too.
Oh the things we'll do;
When I'm inside of you.
There is another me I see him walking down the street.
this cannot be, just my duality.
All of these thoughts and needs confronting me to be what I have to see, this better me.
Still the urge, it drives me wild
to cloak myself in the midnight style.
Still the urge it drive me sane,
to wrap myself in the steel of pain.
Still the urge it rules my life,
nothing better than the feel of a knife.
But in my own defense I tried to kick the need to always release this.
Mr. Violator, instigator, fornicator, force of nature,
everything that makes you open your mind.
Meet Mr. Violator,
cloaked in a shroud of lies.
Wrapped in the steel God gave him,
one kiss and he'll own your mind.
Meet Mr. Violator,
nothing he says can be true.
Wrapped in the steel God gave him,
one kiss and he'll kill you, too.
[End]
Go ahead and touch me, I know you want me
Go ahead and love me, I know you worship me
Go ahead and fuck me, you can't keep up with me
Manic, depressed, obsessed but I'm the best dressed.
Go ahead and spoil me, I know you burn for me
Go ahead and bleed for me, rip out your heart for me
Go ahead and fuck me, you can't keep up with me
Manic, depressed, obsessed but I'm the best dressed.

The Toy Box
04:45
|
|||
I've brought you here so you can see
the monster you hide underneath.
Your grinning mask is slipping away,
replaced by the face of dismay.
And what I want for you to fight,
is the fear of what's wrong and what's right.
Until you learn, you'll have to stay.
In my Toy Box you're forced to obey.
I will continue to peel back
the sweet layers of your mind.
All of my shots and my serums
will take their toll in good time.
We both know you cannot leave me,
we both know that you can't deceive me.
Learn to let go and enjoy the ride,
your heart and your soul beat closer to mine.
In the Toy Box,
you will learn to be free.
In the Toy Box,
you'll become one with me.
And I will never deceive you,
I will never mistreat you,
We both know that you escaped
a life of banality through my mentality.
I will never leave you,
I will always retrieve you.
We both know that you escaped
a life of brutality through my reality.
Expose my truth so you can feel
the life that I know is ideal.
I wear this mask so you can see
the face that I know is complete.
Before you're done you'll learn to kneel
your obedience sells the whole thrill.
What I want for you to reveal
your heart's mysteries that you've concealed.
I will continue to peel back
the sweet layers of your mind.
All of my shots and my serums
will take their toll in good time.
We both know you cannot leave me,
we both know that you can't deceive me.
Learn to let go and enjoy your ride,
your heart and your soul beat closer to mine.
In the Toy Box,
you will learn to be free.
In the Toy Box,
you'll become one with me.
And I will never deceive you,
I will never mistreat you,
We both know that you escaped
a life of banality through my mentality.
I will never leave you,
I will always retrieve you.
We both know that you escaped
a life of brutality through my reality.
Don't you push back
Don't you dare fight me
I've delivered you greatness
all you have to do is decide you will feast
Don't you test me, cause I'm liable to kill
just another failed experiment eating up space in my heart that will never heal.

The Alternate
03:26
|
|||
All the layers around me decomposing, a temporal shift that I can't control.
While this world is re-sampled by me, it's not the place that you used to know.
I feel so Justified
I am so deified
My Heart is electrified by
this need to rewrite all space and time.
oooo these things that I do
whoooo will they lead to...
Shattered memories and fractured dreams, the alternate is made of these.
Everything you know and feel, the alternate rewrites the new real.
It’s time to get up, step up, wake up.
We have to get up, step up, wake up.
It’s time to get up, step up, wake up.
We have to get up, step up, wake up.
As my memories decay and fade, I lose the part I used to play.
Altruistic or nothing at all, my mind is a canvas, splattered, running down the wall.
I feel so Justified
I am so deified
My Heart is electrified by
this need to rewrite all space and time.
oooo these things that I do
whoooo will they lead to...
Shattered memories and fractured dreams, the alternate is made of these.
Everything you know and feel, the alternate rewrites the new real.
It’s time to get up, step up, wake up.
We have to get up, step up, wake up.
It’s time to get up, step up, wake up.
We have to get up, step up, wake up.

The Reticent
03:01
|
|||
I'm sick and tired of this,
forced to accept the lowest.
Pushed down to the bottom of the barrel,
every cut will go unnoticed.
Stuck in your selfish moment,
all you scream is "me, me, me"
but you cannot see, see, see
you're stuck in a lie that you conceived.
I'm sick and sore from this,
forced to expect the broken.
Not an ounce of truth was spoken,
all the lies and blood I choke in.
Why do you think I'm standing here?
Your slander won't just disappear.
Why do you lead them all astray?
Your lies, they don't just go away.
I've lived a million lives,
while you sold a million lies.
So much hate to give away,
I swear this is more than foreplay.
You are the reticent,
you are the weak,
and I'm being delicate,
when you punish me.
The evidence is evident that I have been so delicate and eloquent, heaven sent, to the negligent.
Adrenaline will pulse through my bloodstream.
The reticent, they make me want to scream.
Why did you force the fall
Push my back against the wall?
Fell back onto your knife,
you dig it in, 'cause it feels so nice.
I've lived a million lives,
you sold a million lies.
So much hate to give away,
I swear this is more than foreplay.
You are the reticent,
you are the weak,
and I'm being delicate,
when you punish me.
The evidence is evident that I have been so delicate and eloquent, heaven sent, to the negligent.
Adrenaline will pulse through my bloodstream.
The reticent, they make me want to scream.

Fight The Future
03:47
|
|||
My timeline is shifting backwards,
and I can't do this again.
Replayed in an endless loop,
and I can't do this again.
Perplexed in a paradox,
consumed by all of my thoughts.
How can I escape it,
outrun it, not face it?
And can I retrace it,
overwrite it, replace it?
Should I alter what will be?
Save myself so selfishly?
You can't fight the future,
The path is clear, our sun will soon die.
You can't fight the future,
the end is near, and we're all out of time.
If we could live another million years,
what would we bring but more mourning and tears?
We can't fight the future,
The human race all waving goodbye.
[Bridge]
How many times?
How many times have I been here before?
I keep trying to save a world that's scorned.
I should go back and save myself
and be who I wanna be
and send this world to hell
Reset -
My timeline is shifting backwards,
and I won't do this again.
Replayed in an endless loop,
I swore I would let this end.
Wrapped in repetition,
Sucked straight through perdition.
Why do I lament it?
I cannot prevent it.
This thing will erase me,
overwrite me, replace me.
Should I alter what will be?
Save myself so selfishly?
[Chorus]
You can't fight the future,
The path is clear, our sun will soon die.
You can't fight the future,
the end is near, and we're all out of time.
If we could live another million years,
what would we bring but more mourning and tears?
We can't fight the future,
The human race all waving goodbye.
You can't, you can't, you can't fight it.
You can't, you can't, you can't fight it.
"You can't fight the future" is what I say,
but I try and try, yeah, every day.

Eve of Extinction
04:12
|
|||
All of the people standing still
Some of them still are holding hands.
A few could sacrifice their tears,
But most are blank, banal, and bland.
They stand transfixed, their gaze depicts
our dark sun dying.
Yet the children will play,
they ride the merry-go-round
on and on and on.
That's when I look across the street
to see the couple on the roof.
In their finest evening wear
they dance as if they are so aloof.
They sway and rock, their hands interlocked
Their passion will mock the end.
That's when I feel the stab of jealousy,
in that moment I wish I were him.
And when the rain begins to pour,
the tears from the sky,
they thunder and roar.
But never underestimate
a human's ability to make war.
That's when we see all of the bombs,
they rain from the dark sky.
But never underestimate
a human being's ability to make itself want to die.
Whitewash, fade out,
Breathe in, scream out.
While the candle's burning,
we know that we will never make it.
Whitewash, fade out,
Breathe in, scream out.
While the candle's burning,
we could not wait for the natural end of the race.
On the eve of extinction we will see
The end of all reality.
On the eve of extinction we will see
The end of all society.
We will dance, in the night,
despite the bombs falling twilight.
And when the end is here, we will stand tall,
we refuse to fall at all.
There's nothing left to save,
the sky is black, the rain decayed.
There's no one left to hold,
No heaven above, no hell below.
There's nothing left to do,
nothing left to see,
nothing left for me.
But I'm still standing tall,
I'll finish it all,
I'll witness our final fall.
And I have been here before,
witnessed the dawning of decay.
Felt all your raining ashes drench me in
A macabre shade of grey.
And I can see the black star is slowly falling.
The time is here,
The candle is out,
The black sun explodes in tears.
Whitewash, fade out,
Breathe in, scream out.
While the candle's burning,
we know that we will never make it.
Whitewash, fade out,
Breathe in, scream out.
While the candle's burning,
we could not wait for the natural end of the race.
On the eve of extinction we will see
The end of all reality.
On the eve of extinction we will see
The end of all society.
We will dance, in the night,
despite the bombs falling twilight.
And when the end is here, we will stand tall,
we refuse to fall at-
