a blind man asked an angel
could you please help
but was told
take me from this altar
i won't falter
but i might fall

this bitter man would understand
through all his life, a needle had
been his saviour, been his god
so he tried to make a change
tried to rearrange
gun at his side, suicide

[pre-chorus:]
i can't help feel i been mistreated
won't you listen to me

[chorus:]
despise all that i see
all that i feel
all that i want to be
burned, blistered and raw
tearing apart
all that is sane to me

a wise man, half periah, half messiah
came to seed
rain down blood like fire
born desire
racist breed
his dominance of ignorance
was rhetoric that made no sence
some believed in all the lies
but in my mind i know what's wrong
way too fucking strong
taste the revenge on my tongue
[pre-chorus]

and now is my time to rise
and now is our time to rise
our time
to rise
ignorant, indignant
promises made in vain
rise, i can't see like you
rise, i can't feel like you
rise, never be like you
rise, time for all us to
rise...11. The Possibility Of Life's Destruction

[bonus track]
you said when that day came
strength is all i had
you said when that day would come
i'll know the sound of fear
but now you ask for forgiveness
you ask for my respect
you beat upon me 'till i broke
stripping, taking
everything from me
drain me of my power
suck me of my strength
strip me of my will to live
my soul you desecrate
n'if it takes me dying
to make some history
then on to you my suffering
will ever, forever
burn in misery
i was born to reign
messiah of pain
i had earned the right
i'm the demon knight
drain me of my power
suck me of my strength
strip me of my will to live
my soul you desecrate
n' if it take me dying
to make some history
then on to you my suffering
wii ever, forever
burn in misery13. Colors
