Its Thor! I am the God of thunder, and the sound of my hammer will roar. Throughout the vast of oceans, and all these islands far. Yeah. Honor (Break) Castle (break) Limbs (break) Face (break) Power (break) Satyrs (break) Life (break) Grace (break) Sinner (break) Mortal (break) Catholic (break) Faith (break) Everything around me isn't safe. Fuck. I'll tear each spine out from the human race. Cry in peril won't save you from me. Here comes the god of thunder, his lightning cracks the sky. You should fear the son of Odin, before you surely die! Ahh! Go, it's time for you to go. You know that it's all over, now you're on your own. So, he comes down from his throne. a trail of broken bodies, shattering your bones. Prepare for war.

Kratos 04:52
By the gods have you seen, what the hell you've become? A soldier to victims, you're washed up and rung. You're posing a threat to the nation you fight. No more kicking and screaming, you attack in the night! You play this game, you leave a trail of bodies. Their heartbeats fade, they knew this day would come. Disgusting pigs. Where is your claim to your God now? Find your solace within, in me, in me. Fight your vanity! The bloods on the walls, There's no more escaping. Disaster shall fall, upon all who walk in his path. I'm god, you scream in my name. Put up your walls, cause here comes the pain. You'll see In your shadow, your family bleeding. "Please dad it's me" she screams, in horror with no way to defend. Your skin, is marked with that sin. Lay down your weapon, give up and give in. Is this really living? Yes, you seem so intact. By mind over matter, there's no turning back. Yet you seek no redemption, oh pity me,. You're lost in lust for your vengeance. No happy ending so, who do you think you are? Screaming, taking blood in my name. And though you've come so far, boy, walk back inside. Who do you claim is the God now? take a step up to me, to me, to me, Fight for your vanity! The bloods on the walls, There's no more escaping. Disaster shall fall, upon all who walk in his path. I'm god, you scream in my name. Put up your walls, cause here comes the pain. You'll see In your shadow, your family bleeding. "Please dad it's me" she screams, in horror with no way to defend. Your skin, is marked with that sin. Lay down your weapon, give up and give in. Go! As always, I end up, a failure, But now I can, fix those mistakes, Right here right now. You're gonna get what you deserve, it's gonna be so sweet! There is no saviour, I am forsaken, Bow to the old gods, I'm smashing your face in. Once I was broken, now I've awoken, In clearer words, draw your last breath before you die. Drown in your guilt as I peel off your flesh. With every pound of my fist your skull caves in. Your shadow emerges, throws me into the pit. But I emerge unscathed, and ready to finish this. My vengeance ends now.

Martyr Mcfly 05:22
Stand up, hold tight, lay arms down by your side. Salute allegiance just once more, at dawn we go to war, war, War! It has begun, and all i see are full on murders. No one is safe, please stay away, I don't think i can stand much longer. They've pinned me down, I can't get out, they're always one step further. Please help me god, wait here's my chance, throw tear gas and run for cover. The nausea kicks in, and now my vision starts to blur. I see a man, he takes one glance, and with one shot he met his end. The blood is leaving out his veins, before my vision died. I saw the look of a man who was just like me, we both just shout and cry. I wanna run away, it's what I do but, I am now a martyr. The thoughts are all the same, it's so addictive, blood lusts getting stronger. And now it's just a game. I hunt my prey like an animal, why cant i stop? And as it starts to rain, i see my reflection. Who am i? I am a murderer. What if I said, I'm not okay, Living my life, In war everyday? What if I left, would it all go away? Or is this blood on my hands to stay? Another day, another crime, to justify our side. Call to a god, our pleas for help, fight in his name to show our pride. The blood is thick, we swim in shame despite our sacrifice. This battlefield is just a grave, for the brave to throw away their lives. This is nonsense, Why do these people have to hurt? He's just like me and just like you, afraid to lose his life as the battle ensues. The war is won, my hand is shaking as I hold the gun. Orders from above,say it's not enough, no survivors allowed, paint the pavement with their blood! With just one wish, I'd want all this, to disappear, And be back home. No more bloodshed, No more horror in my dreams now. It's only wishful thinking. I wanna run away, it's what I do but, I am now a martyr. The thoughts are all the same, it's so addictive, blood lusts getting stronger. And now it's just a game. I hunt my prey like an animal, why cant i stop? And as it starts to rain, i see my reflection. Who am i? I am a murderer.

Interphase 03:20
Oh, reality has drifted off away from Me. And now, I'm a camera in a skull. Fell off, like gravity, but nothing pulls me back down to the world. A boy without his soul. There's reason why he's better off this way. In a story of which I will never tell. Cause deep inside he's pushed away my voice. But I'll yell loudly like a ringing of a bell. It's like a dreaded disease, it's like a million degrees. The way you're glaring at me, I feel like I can not breathe. It's like i'm living a lie, it's like i'm trapped in disguise. It's like my head is on fire, trapped between dread and desire. It's like i'm losing control. it's like i can't fill the hole, That has swallowed my soul, this time it's taken its toll. Will my hope still remain when, i'm filled with disdain, when i'm broke and in pain or when tv's rotted my brain? Don't trust the faces around me, from the darkness of thoughts that just drown me. What the hell's even real and can it ever be seen? This is not, no not, my reality. Don't trust the faces around me, From the darkness of thoughts that just drown me. Will i take back my life or stay stuck in this dream? this is not, no not, my reality. A new catastrophe stretched far beyond. I'm drifting through the void, follow me. But the fangs of discontent, sink further in. Soon i will be destroyed. Now i can not escape, I drag my heels as they scrape, upon the streets that i pave,with blood while running away. Son i cower in fear, i feel the end is coming near, it's impossibly clear,and now i'm shedding a tear. How much more can i run, Until my demons are done? The guilt is weighing a ton, I cannot be the only one? Who's been dealt no respect, who's been feeling neglect, of cognitive dissonance ,mental health left unchecked. Destruction of my brain. These signs, I'm gonna fade away, into the nothing. And no one is coming for me, So fuck it all, And goodbye to reality! Don't trust the faces around me, from the darkness of thoughts that just drown me. What the hell's even real and can it ever be seen? This is not, no not, my reality. Don't trust the faces around me, From the darkness of thoughts that just drown me. Will i take back my life or stay stuck in this dream? this is not, no not, my reality.

I see them, they're screaming, "I wanna claim your body". But I know that's it's all in my head, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I must of fell asleep and, God I just know, it's all in my head. If I look around, I see the walls are bleeding. Walk around carefully as I tread. The face of every human has become a demon. Maybe it's me, but I think I am dead. I see them, they're screaming, "I wanna claim your body". But I know that's it's all in my head, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I must of fell asleep and, God I just know, it's all in my head. If I look around, I see the walls are bleeding. Walk around carefully as I tread. The face of every human has become a demon. Maybe it's me, but I think I am dead. I haven't slept for days on end. They've set the traps,I'm stuck inside, and the walls are closing in. I cannot see,And I cannot breathe. Am I hallucinating? Oh fuck, oh god, God's forsaken me, I hear them call,their shadows speak. Keep one eye open, as they stare at me. Their guts growl loud, as they see fresh meat. I quiver quietly, knowing I'm the treat. They prey at night, to take my life. I hold my knife, praying I'll be fine. But nothing works,try to sleep at night. They claw my legs,screaming your soul is mine. If this is karma, what do I do? I'm begging you, please just leave my sight. Is it my eyes I can't trust or you? Will they make their move? Is tonight the night? No matter how loud I scream. They're still here haunting me. The moon's just laughing as I pray. The nightlight's lifelike. My coffee's cold, and I can't sleep. Gotta gain control, or they'll see I'm weak. Can't tap out now, maybe I should eat? The food they served, was my dogs own feet. The waitress came, to serve my check, Her face deformed into my own past. I saw the blood and the people die. Thousand blood soaked souls, and it's all my fault! If this is karma, what do I do? I'm begging you, please just leave my sight. Is it my eyes I can't trust or you? Will they make their move? Is tonight the night? No matter how loud I scream. They're still here haunting me. The moon's just laughing as I pray. The nightlight's lifelike. Oh my God, what have I done!? thought I was fighting for a good cause, instead I'm being haunted. By the enemies, and memories of my own past. I never thought about whether their cause was just. I was told just to fucking shoot! Put the nightmares behind and I'll go home soon. With the blood on my hands of my fellow men, I hear the gun,It calls my name. The barrels paint between my tongue. I see them, they're screaming, "I wanna claim your body". But I know that's it's all in my head, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I must of fell asleep and, God I just know, it's all in my head. If I look around, I see the walls are bleeding. Walk around carefully as I tread. The face of every human has become a demon. Maybe it's me, but I think I am dead. I see them, they're screaming, "I wanna claim your body". But I know that's it's all in my head, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I must of fell asleep and, God I just know, it's all in my head. If I look around, I see the walls are bleeding. Walk around carefully as I tread. The face of every human has become a demon. Maybe it's me, but I think I am dead.

Guts 03:00
In this world. Is the destiny of mankind controlled, by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of god hovering above? At least it is true, that man has no control. Even over his own will. Take my hand. Not much further now, till we meet, once again. Your flesh, draped across my blade. Soon you'll see. I will make you pay. How much longer, can i hold on to you. I'll save us, i will carry on. Mark my words, I will return, with vengeance. I will carry on I am guts. Bound by fate. Watching as it burns, all away, laid to waste. It's time, to settle what remains, of our lives. Don't delay. How much longer, can i hold on to you. I'll save us, i will carry on. Mark my words, I will return, with vengeance. I will carry on... I will carry on... I will carry on... I am guts.

We are One 04:04
You want it all, but you're always falling down. And push away when you're asked "are you alright?" You wear your skin like a badge of honor. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Oh, well now you waste away, inside, sound about right!? Well look at that, you have no one who gives a damn. So look alive cause to them you've already died. Hop in the back take your life in your hands. You have the courage take it back in command, Oh, Today's the day you win over, evil within. Take this pain,It's what we bare. We are one, we are one. Now it's time to make a stand. We are one, we are one. Taking action when you're scared, But I can see you shake, stand tall. This is what it means to fail. We are one, we are one. Waking up just to suffer again and again. Followed the pact just to have a place in time. Cut the cord, it's a path straight downhill. You couldn't tell cause your tunnel visions out of control. The light seems far away, dimmed out Get outta my way. Quit your job and your puddles of misery. You have it all except you gave up deep inside. Around the corner, just hop in the back now. That life is over and your giving into me. The story ends the same, onward, to victory. Take this pain,It's what we bare. We are one, we are one. Now it's time to make a stand. We are one, we are one. Taking action when you're scared, But I can see you shake, stand tall. This is what it means to fail. We are one, we are one. My friends I leave all this up to you. To take our pain, and save the rest. We are one, we are one. Now it's time to make a stand, Let's go.

Let's walk down memory lane, to see how you've pinned, the words that cross my brain. Your actions fashion my own mistake. How you've changed your mind, Or the thought of, that i'd never feel so alone. Temptation seems to get the best of me. It's not over. In seeing you, I'm paralyzed. What I want, what I need, don't include you, but here you are again. (Drifting further baby) Drifting further. If near you, it's black and white. I'm so lost, on my path, Either one I took, you were bound to say goodbye. You were my saving grace. You were the power, that flowed in my veins. But now it's just a memory. No, I won't roll over dead. Cause as sure as the lights gone. I'll take each step till I can carry on, With this pain, with this fear, Damn my feelings insincere. Can it all just disappear? Can I please just disappear? In the end it's just a memory, And no, I'm not in my mind for sure. Can someone please turn the lights on? Help me to leave before I'm fully gone? Along with my will to live. Catch your breath girl, there's more to say. Within my heart is pain. I struggle daily just to find a way to close my mind. Off the top of a bridge or a canyon, cause I never thought I'd feel so alone. There's one solution and it scares the hell outta me. Is it over? What little strength I've got left, wants to fight, wants to fall. Why can't I be the modern day of man? (Drifting further, Crazy) This is your fault. Since I met you, I've been poisoned. (Now I'll never love, no I won't feel safe,) Now my worlds replaced by your face. You took my heaven away, and drug it through your hell. You were my saving grace. You were the power, that flowed in my veins. But now it's just a memory. No, I won't roll over dead. Cause as sure as the lights gone. I'll take each step till I can carry on, With this pain, with this fear, Damn my feelings insincere. Can it all just disappear? Can I please just disappear? In the end it's just a memory, And no, I'm not in my mind for sure. Can someone please turn the lights on? Help me to leave before I'm fully gone? Along with my will to live. Along with my will to live. You were my friend, now it's all over and now! You didn't think my heart was true. The feelings gone and I am through. I can't take this no more. Now I can't stand my reflection, Cause what you used to say, Made me feel complete, I can't stand my own reflection.

Lay it down, all of my money. Line it up, all on her body. Thinking i'm broke, what's so funny? Greed is laughing, slowly coming. Put the cards down on the table. Call the game, I will win twenty. Deck has Go fish on the label, tail between your legs while running. Bitch, I got bitcoins and PayPal. Play the cards, I call your folly. Witness destruction and chaos, to my bank account, it's falling. Drinking up all of my huggies, chowing down all on my nuggies. Talking shit like you ain't ugly. Ha ha ha ha, bitch you thought,Ah! You took the bait, now your out of the game, Face is colored in shame,Oh well, ah! Well that's the breaks. Steady calling my bluffs when you don't have enough to pay. Oh, a big mistake, now my bitcoins are gone. I'm being thrown on the lawn, to stain, No, I got a way, of getting all of my funds and getting back in the game. I can't win against the foes I play that stand before me. Friday night bitch, gambling my life away for money. Failures in my core, when I come through the door. Staring steady, cards are ready, bout to lose it all with just one penny. Woah oh woah oh, I won't fall low. The pains too much for me to fail. I swear to God, I won't let you down. I can't win against the foes I play that stand before me. Friday night bitch, gambling my life away for money. Failures in my core, when I come through the door. Staring steady, cards are ready, bout to lose it all with just one penny. Woah oh woah oh, I won't fall low. The pains too much for me to fail, I swear to God, I won't let you down, Lay it down all of my money. Line it all up on her body. Thinking I'm broke, what's so funny? Greed is laughing, slowly coming. Bitches all know what we playin. Feelin up all on my penny. "That shit ain't real" whatchu sayin? Talkin wit'cha nose all runny. Girl this is real as a diamond. Harder than my raviolis. Stuffing that shit in my pocket. Gunning for plus four, you know it. Killin them with all my wilds. Blue eyes come and roasts the child. Charizard charred them to the mild,. Ha ha ha, obliterate now. Right to the face, Why don't you gobble my balls, let me know how it fuckin tastes? Oh, Now you're too late, i got the heart of the cards, watch your life points evaporate. No, there's no escape. I'm gonna conquer my foes. Make these hoes stand in line and wait, Oh, can't keep the pace? Seems you didn't know your place, You've fallen victim to the king of games. I can't win against the foes I play that stand before me. Friday night bitch, gambling my life away for money. Failures in my core, when I come through the door. Staring steady, cards are ready, bout to lose it all with just one penny. Woah oh woah oh, I won't fall low. The pains too much for me to fail. I swear to God, I won't let you down. I can't win against the foes I play that stand before me. Friday night bitch, gambling my life away for money. Failures in my core, when I come through the door. Staring steady, cards are ready, bout to lose it all with just one penny. Woah oh woah oh, I won't fall low. The pains too much for me to fail, I swear to God, I won't let you down, Oh, and I won't, let you lose. Take it all,Let me see you fall. And I won, Now you lose. Take it all,Oh my god! I can't win against the foes I play that stand before me. Friday night bitch, gambling my life away for money. Failures in my core, when I come through the door. Staring steady, cards are ready, bout to lose it all with just one penny. Woah oh woah oh, I won't fall low. The pains too much for me to fail, I swear to God, I won't let you down,

Do you remember when we, had a hold so strong no one could break it? You'd need titanium wire to outclass the fire we brought. And when we tell the stories, we'd laugh and cry because we made it. We all had to grow up but, Jammed out like the kids all do, and we watched our favorite shows cause of procrastinating. Filled up all our days with a goal. "We play what we want, that is ours to control". Took back to the avenue, where the stars stood silent and they watched the view, hello. This is hard, never done this before, On a trip back down nostalgia road. Here's to you, living the good life. Together with the best of em all, You never have to see your world come down, crumble. Reality, is as clear as can be, anything you want, fuck it you can keep. To know that you've got your life in control, Is so much better than being all alone. Cheers fade through,Living the good life, has passed right by and now that your old, Responsibilities will fall on you. It's time that you see,That it's harder to be, When your friends are all gone, And you have no money left for you. When you reach this stage in life, You'll scream and you'll plead, "please take me on nostalgia road". Oh yeah. It must've been a real bad dream, My life is mine, I can do anything. I envy you, but jokes on you,guess what? Real soon, They'll be at your door, demanding authority. You won't have games, you'll have Bill's that you pay. And you won't have dad cause he's gone away. Your family will be split in two, and the worst part is, you don't know that you're you. I'm sorry that you have to feel this way, I wish that Id told you sooner but I've been far away. If you don't know where else to go, follow the stars, for nostalgia road. I existed trembling deep inside, The final chorus sung, so turn back, rewind. I'm burning to tell you you'll be fine. But we both know you'll fall without fail. Come on! I'm moving on, I'm letting go,of my past mistakes, to retake, the pieces of my life that have shattered. To make this world a litter bit better. Soon you'll see what I can see, I can be. No longer in darkness watching thieves. Withering away like fallen leaves. finally see the forest through the trees. Peace, weighing down on my shoulders, Sip, drink it down, all of the colors. I'm not me.

Death is coming! Fingers wrapped around my throat. You'd better, hold tight, cause I'm taking you with motherfucker. It's a fight to the death, and I've lost a round. Took a couple of shots to the liver. Getting back on my feet stop the countdown. I've had enough so it's time to deliver. You act like you play god. Your not immortal, you rot. Face down in the trash, don't you figure,It's time? To fade away, its seems this world's too much for me. And I know, My bodies breaking, heartbeat's racing. Can you hear? My cries I'm shouting, I need saving. Tell the doctor I'm crossing over. I should've listened to the voice of reason. Like a bat out of hell I been screaming, I'm calling over, I'm crossing over. Tell the doctor, I'm crossing over. I should've listened to the voice of reason. Like a bat out of hell, I been screaming. I'm calling over, I'm crossing over. As euphora hits me, and I feel the blood leaving, all the sirens start ringing. Wake me outta this dreaming. Can't you hear me, I'm screaming? Is there anyone listening? Can't you see? I'm swimming and dredging through my own blood. Like I'm bound to beat, i'm drowning out this disease. I climbed straight outta of the hell and the brimfire. No one can save me, cast out, I am fading. Please God won't you save me? I'm calling, so reach out! Help me. I'm falling faster, Into nowhere. It seems I'm gone, Fate dealt me darkness, and you let it take me in! Tell the doctor I'm crossing over. I should've listened to the voice of reason. Like a bat out of hell I been screaming, I'm calling over, I'm crossing over. Tell the doctor, I'm crossing over. I should've listened to the voice of reason. Like a bat out of hell, I been screaming. I'm calling over, I'm crossing over. As euphora hits me, and I feel the blood leaving, all the sirens start ringing. Wake me outta this dreaming. Can't you hear me, I'm screaming? Is there anyone listening? Times run out. No more me, no more you, no more anything, anyone. Times run out. What is this? I see light. And a hand reached out, and I gripped it tight Help me!
12.
All night I lay awake. Thoughts will cross my mind. The time passed by. Sunrise begins to shine. But failure creeps, taking hold of me. But I still fear, that I can't sleep. I'm overdosing on reality. That I am still broken and tearing apart. Still conscious of actions that i didn't start. I can't let go, Hold back, I choke. Knowing what is next, yet another fluke. I can feel the pressure. If this is read. (If this is read) Than I am dead. (Than I am dead,) So long my friends and family. Don't be sad. (don't be sad) Cause what I had. (Cause What I had) Now you know why I felt so weak. Darkness, taking over, I've lost it all. Didn't know what I should do. Took this gun,Took this rope, end it all, That's my trope. It seems, it seems, I forgot my value. Another day, stuck waiting for my dreams,to be reality. I can't, wait this long. When all is left to me, I know I'm better off gone. So take a knife,and Slit my throat. Help me leave, Can't do it on my own. I feel like I'm desperate to just fall apart, so help me to keep this all deep in my heart. I cannot change. (I'll always be the same) Another in the way.(Of your perfect frame,) So just kill the cancer! If this is read. (If this is read) Than I am dead. (Than I am dead,) So long my friends and family. Don't be sad. (don't be sad) Cause what I had. (Cause What I had) Now you know why I felt so weak. Darkness, taking over, I've lost it all. Didn't know what I should do. Took this gun,Took this rope, end it all, That's my trope. It seems, it seems, I forgot my value. Now that I'm gone, and the pains fallen numb. I am sorry I left this way. But you knew I was dead, The moment I left my bed, And said that I "I love you all" "I love you all","I love you all" today. Goodbye everyone i miss dearly, save the tears for someone else worthy. Goodbye everyone i miss dearly, save the tears for someone else worthy.
