REACT (Joseph E. Gagliardi III)
Clenching teeth • Tourniquets • Injections of heroin
Suicide of choice, your opinion is your voice
In a room with only you and your device...
Woken up by the stench of death
It suffocates each and every breath
I wait for darkness to speak, to come and consume
Consumed by despair
Drowning in this river, I am
Deep inside the mind that rapes
Forever I am enslaved
Forever...
Man cannot be saved from self-inflicted extinction
We...
Are...
We...
Are...
Fucked...
METHOD OF DESIGN (Joseph E. Gagliardi III / T.Q.)
Autumn leaves fall to the ground
The seasons change the earth everyday
Cold winds blow all that's left away
Persephone brings death to life
You can't undo the method of design
You can't undo the cycle of life
So all of this and nothing has changed?
Time is running out in the hourglass, for her
Love dies like our memories erase
Faces fade, like night into day
You can't undo the method of design
You can't undo the cycle of life
Disconnected by the sorrow we feel
Our dreams change, suspending in time
Just like Iife, all that we love will weather and die
You can't undo the method of design
You can't undo the madness you define*
Fall asleep
Into a dream of your design
As our world dies
THIS HOUSE (Joseph E. Gagliardi III / Phil Warran)
The door is open, let yourself...
Welcome to this house of mine
Life hangs itself on the walls
Memories running up and down the halls of pain and joy
In a single sentence you shattered my life
Contradicting modes of action
My dreams become distorting scars
Motions of confusion swirling around, can't keep gravity
Cannot see the force in front of me can't undo this blasphemy
Those nightmares scream at me...
This is the house of my life
This house made me who I am
The winds of pain blowing by
Imprisoned by myself, self-enemy
Contradicting modes of action
My dreams become distorting scars
Motions of confusion swirling around, can't keep gravity
Cannot feel the force in front of me can't undo this blasphemy
This is where I began...
Contradicting modes of action
My dreams become distorting scars
Motions of confusion swirling around, can't keep gravity
Cannot know the force in front of me can't undo reality
This pain and suffering...
THE BLEEDING MISSISSIPPI (Joseph E. Gagliardi III)
Hand in hand, I've walked the earth
With grief, driven by the pain, suffocate in mud and dirt
Death loves me just the same as I start to fall...
I lay my head down to the earth and feel the trembling of hurt
The love of god was given then taken away
I lost my faith
Damaged by the lives, in which we live
Killing a life is the gift we give
I lay my head down to the earth and feel the trembling of hurt
The love of god was given then taken away
I lost my faith
Running red, I'm bleeding
Running red, I'm seeing
Running red down the river bed
Damaged by the price in which we live
Killing a life, is this your thoughtful gift?
The laws of reasoning are dead...
I lay my head down to the earth and feel the trembling of hurt
The love of god was given then taken away
I lost my faith
INTERLUDE I (Joseph E. Gagliardi III)
Instrumental
SPIRITUAL WARFARE (Joseph E. Gagliardi III / Kyle Gunning)
A sheep among the wolves sent us away to serve
It was allowed that our lives and pride are to die, for a cause
that means nothing at all...
They say
They say "stand up for your rights"
They say "lay down and die"
In the architecture of the plan, I don't think we wanted this
But where will Allah be, to come and save us from our devastation?
In a land so far away, the plan was put into effect
The innocent blood flows from the womb of mother earth,
drowning us all...
They say
They say "stand up for your rights"
They say "lay down and die"
In the architecture of the plan, I don't think we wanted this
But where will Allah be, to come and save us from our devastation?
In the architecture of the plan, I don't think we wanted this
But when will Allah see, to come and bring death and judgement to all?
In the architecture of the plan, I don't think we wanted this
But where will Allah be, to come and save us from our devastation?
In the architecture of the plan, I don't think we wanted this
But when will Hades bring all of us to our final destination?
THAT'LL BE THE DAY (Joseph E. Gagliardi III)
The past of your lies
Bashing your conscience to death
Choking on the aneurysm of your last dying breath
That'll be the day... When you start to think
That'll be the day... When you fess up to your mistakes
That'll be the day... When you fall from grace
That'll be the day...
Shame is all that you know, you cling to it like blood on the cross
A wolf in sheeps clothing is what you are and your deception is
unwelcome at my door
That'll be the day...
That'll be the day...
Shame is all that you know, you cling to it like blood on the cross
A wolf in sheeps clothing is what you are and your deception is
unwelcome at my door
Escape the pain, numb the nerves, intoxicate your state of mind
Disintegrating by all of those that you have left behind
Sometimes suicide seems like the only way
To get away and to find inner peace
Death by your religious beliefs
War in the name of GOD is unscrupulous
You must find yourself and reclaim your faith
Fixed on blasphemy
You've destroyed the trust in me
That'll be the day...
That'll be the day...
ODYSSEY OF CHAOS (Joseph E. Gagliardi III)
Instrumental
SON OF MOURNING (Joseph E. Gagliardi III)
Walk with me into, the sunset
Walk with me into, the darkness
Walk with me with trust, in hand
Walk with me, we are, the damned
The son of mourning (rises)
The sun bleaches my eyes
Cursed by my past
I walk this path to Hades
Walk with me and the spirits of the dead
Come here and feel the suffering
My mind wanders through purgatory
While the devil looks after it's own
The son of mourning (rises)
The sun bleaches my eyes
Cursed by my past
I walk this path to Hades
You challenge me...
With sinful offerings...
So now it seems that I am free
From the hounds of hell stalking me
Hereafter... I enjoy the sunrise
Hereafter... I enjoy the sunset
Hereafter... I enjoy the stillness
Hereafter... I enjoy the silence of tomorrow morning...
THE BATTLE OF KINGS (Joseph E. Gagliardi III)
Formed from nothing into everything we know
Blending unformed galaxies
Bleeding the species from one another into one another
This war inside of me, between the battle of kings
Is dividing the core of equality
A war of humanity desecrates the needed unity
But I must stand by and observe this treachery
Elemental properties of the water, earth, sun and sky
We are killing the laws that have been placed to make what's life
Repentance for our sins will never be given since we disease
This war inside of me, between the battle of kings
Is dividing the core of equality
A war of humanity desecrates the needed unity
But I must stand by and observe this treachery
In hate you plague
In hate you rape
In life you lie
In death you deny
Why?
This war inside of me, between the battle of kings
Is dividing the core of equality
A war of humanity desecrates the needed unity
But I must stand by and observe this treachery
Our need to create superior control
As within the eon of a beautiful supernova
Will destroy everything in existence
Within the line of a thought
We will have never been
Through the passages of time
Truth and justice have been destroyed
Allowing godless men to delete all that was ever all...
