Leo

We all meet people in our lives sometimes who, at first, allure us and want us. Some of these people are only in our lives to devour what they need from us and toss us like ragged carcass into their lair as trophies. What if we didn't give these hunters their satisfactions? What if they were the king of nothing? We should never let anyone use us in this way. We are more than this.


You're the king of the jungle, a hunter
Borne rich in pride
You're so full of yourself, it's no wonder you
Can't be satisfied
Bold and irrestibly fierce you
Stalk upon your prey
All your subjects lay down for you
There is no escape
Much too haughty to be caught without some
Prize possession in tow
Feeding off of the spoils for a lifetime
All on your own
You're the cream of the crop, me, I'm only
Another fish in the sea
You're sitting high on the top, but oh how lonely
The summit seems to be

Yeah you're the king
The king of a hollowed bastion
The king who will never take action
God it's so easy when nobody's coming to challenge thy crown
You're the king, pretty baby
The king of a kingdom that's empty
The lord of a world that's descending down and stalling out
Don't you wish somebody'd save you now?

Food's becoming much more scarce now
The pride is moving away
Because this field is all you know
You will elect to stay
But all the animals know your tricks now
Tired of beng your prey
They knew you'd one day wear down
And that day is today
The jungle seems so much more empty
The fields are tattered and torn
Roaring up at the sky you're cursing
The day you were born
Unwilling to compromise you'll
Choose to stay where you are
You will die with an empty stomach
And a broken heart

Yeah you're the king
The king of a hollowed bastion
The king who will never take action
God it's so easy when nobody's coming to challenge thy crown
You're the king, pretty baby
The king of a kingdom that's empty
The lord of a world that's descending down and stalling out
Don't you wish somebody'd save you now?

The Rage Of Weltall

This song is inspired by the events that take place in the game Xenogears involving the main character Fei and the mysterious armor he is able to control called Weltall.


Borne of blood I rise
Lay waste to those I love tonight
The darkness screams my name
Ashes stain my face
Inferno crushes this whole place
An agony untamed

Have you seen the fire raging in my soul?
Dark as night eternal, flame that burns immortal
Do the demons within taunt you like they're taunting me?
Desecration smile, now exhale the vile

Breathe against the night
Haze of memories inside
Dead souls upon the cross
War becomes my mind
Death is just an oversight
I'm taking back what's lost

Have you seen the fire raging in my soul?
Dark as night eternal, flame that burns immortal
Do the demons within taunt you like they're taunting me?
Desecration smile, now exhale the vile

Sleeping demons will awaken
Sleeping demons will awaken
Sleeping demons will awaken
Sleeping demons - WAKE

Ratrace

Shattered skies raining down unspeakable misery
Swords in hands, I return

Apocalypse now, apocalypse later
No matter what we will all see the end
An ice age away or a nuclear crater
And none of you seem to give a shit
Use and use and use and use and
Fight for resources we cannot claim
Win some lose some give some screw some
Die for the forces who snuff our names

And we all wait for a paycheck
'Cause the green paper rules our lives
And you know I'm right
And we all wait for the day's end
'Cause the time clock rules our lives
And you know I'm right

Try to live now, wait to live later
No matter what we will all die
A promotion in time or perhaps something greater
The standard by which we judge our lives
Take and take and take and take and
Step on somebody to get ahead
Win some lose some give some screw some
Nine to five life, you're already dead

And we all wait for a paycheck
'Cause the green paper rules our lives
And you know I'm right
And we all wait for the day's end
'Cause the time clock rules our lives
And you know I'm right

If you wanna be something more in life
Be something more
Don't make anymore excuses
Don't be anybody's whore
There is no right time or wrong time
There is no time at all
Stand up for yourself or else
We will all watch you fall

And we all wait for a paycheck
'Cause the green paper rules our lives
And you know I'm right
And we all wait for the day's end
'Cause the time clock rules our lives
And you know I'm right

Yeah you know I'm right
Is this how you want to live your life?

Burn (Seven Years In Regret)

We loved each other once, but I have now loved you for far too long. Your time has come to fade away from me.


It's time to let you burn away
Been holding on for eternity
I've gotta suffer out my sins
So let the flames begin
Seven years in Death Valley
No shade though I'm in a dark alley
This is a fight I cannot win
So let the games begin

I used to want you
I used to want you to know everything
Everything about me - BURN
I used to love you
I used to blame myself for losing you
Now I'm glad I did - BURN

I look at your photographs
Every time I do it makes me snap
I will not let you in
So set the stage again
This curse upon my head
I cast to you instead
I'm so far over it
So turn the page again

I used to want you
I used to want you to know everything
Everything about me - BURN
I used to love you
I used to hold you in the highest place above me
Isn't she so lovely? - BURN

Burn down your palace - BURN
Tear down your name - BURN
Drink from your chalice - BURN
Of eternal shame - BURN
I felt your malice - BURN
No more my dread - BURN
Goodbye, dear Alice - BURN
Off with your head - BURN

Off with your head - BURN (x8)

Seven years I've held you in my pocket
Tonight I'm finally burning you alive
My heart beats strong for you, it's hard to stop it
But I will let this fire try
