1. Death Camps

The organized slaughter of the innocent

Can't you see this is a hellish state we're in

No sympathy in their hearts at all

At the death camps in our midst

Execution without a trial

Think about that for a while

The day they're doomed they're doomed to be killed

So your foul desires can be fulfilled

Execution without a trial

No regret for life at all

Meat hooked conveyor belts line the walls

Don't it remind you of Buchenwald

You don't even see the genocide

I can see you only care for your own hide

And because of the ignorance that clouds your mind

You've left your compassion so far behind

You don't even know what it involves

Because you never see the bloodshed on the walls

Conditioned since childhood kept you from the truth

They just go on lying and poisoning the youth

It's time to be intelligent and open your mind

Reach within yourself and see what you find

Do you really wanna be responsible

For the brutal slaughter of the animals

1. Days Of Confusion

In these days of confusion much illusions try to get you

Try to trick you every single day

Much aggravation and frustration, devastation always heading my way

And I know why I'm sufferin', looking for satisfaction my mind keeps leading me astray

And I know and I see spiritually there's gotta be a better way

Can't get distracted from achieving the ultimate goal in this human life

No desire to play those games no desire to cause any others grief

I've seen the lies I changed my ways

And I just wanna make my stay here brief

No satisfaction just bad reactions on this dangerous path that I've traveled through,

And I look back inside my mind and thank God for the things I still didn't do

I look around I see the shape we're in

And i know I gotta stop living in sin

I guess I must have lost my mind

For how else could I ever be so blind

I've felt the pain of defeat

I've thrown myself at your feet

I've turned my back on what I used to be

I'll follow you to eternity

Once again you made me strong

Now I know I can go on

You are the conqueror of my fears

You are the reason I am here

1. The Only One

I'll never forget when I looked in your eyes

My destiny unfolded to me

You tucked my soul, delivering me

From all of my pain, setting me free

I know I lost control, my mind was in a rage

But then you came to ease the pain

You are the only one, who makes me feel this way

This is not hard for me to see

The only one who makes me feel this way

When I hear your name there is no more fear

You're in my heart this is so clear

They'll be no more pain, once I join you again

I'm begging for you, to pull me through

When I hear your name, just your name, when I hear your name

I won't forget the way I felt when I first looked in your Lotus eyes

For the first time in my life I could see what I must do,

I need to be with you, yes you, you are all I need

Your everlasting love for eternity

You are the only one who makes me feel this way

This is not hard for me to see

1. Down, But Not Out

The youth of today, run wild in the streets

They all try to win, in the face of defeat

They still, they kill, they're going straight to hell

They don't hear and they don't see that they're not free

When I walk down these city streets

I see the victims and the casualties

Do they stand, a chance today

In a world that's thrown their away

They race to the grave

Don't want to heal

Don't want to be saved

Abandoned buildings that should be homes

Abandoned children left to roam

Broken families broken dreams

In the night I hear their screams

Can't make your future or kill your past

With a spike in your arm or a shotgun blast

Till you have the strength to look within

You'll be fighting a battle you'll never win

Mortality suffered society said

That money is God and true faith is dead

I see it in their eyes this life they cannot cope

The system tells them lies, tries to stick us into giving up hope

We're down, we're down, but we're not out

There's still time to find what life's about

Is there a way of telling the troubled youth

That what they see on TV is not always the truth

We're down, we're down, but we're not out

There's till time to find what life's about

1. Crush The Demoniac

Ignorant fools don't believe in the truth

They are doomed to live in illusion and fear

Cut loose the doubts that arise in your heart

The time of redemption is near

Now in these times of frustration and anger

We've come out of the darkness that kept us blind

With the torch and wisdom and the sword of knowledge

We'll leave the corruption behind

Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac

Gotta wipe out, gotta destroy, gotta crush Demoniac

Demoniac reigns in their hatred and anger

And all of the sin that they bring

In the lie that "true" happiness can be found

In the pursuit of material things

Polluting our minds and corrupting the masses

With pride false attachment and greed

We've seen through their lies and there's no compromise

We know that it's time we were freed

The Demoniac who are lost in themselves and have no intelligence

Engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world

No we won't, no we won't, no we won't ever serve their demands

Cause we know, cause we know, cause we know the Lord and his plans

Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac

Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac

Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac

Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac

1. Fugitive

In this lifetime I know I found what's real

So hard I try to control my mind

I'm coming back, coming back

I feel it in my heart

I know I lived a life of strife

And this could be the last chance in this

Ad I know I got to change my ways

I know there ain't no compromise I can be livin' a life of lies

Life of lies and I know I gotta change my ways

Time's gonna get you got you it's creeping up on you

It's time to do the things I've always known I had to do

I try, yes I try, how I long to be with you again

In this lifetime I see you everywhere

The pleasure and pain was all to my gain

I tried so hard looking so far

My faith this is my courage I must go on

I call to you savior of my soul help me please

I'm just begging to see the line that's drawn

Between the good and bad

And I know I've got to change my ways

When I recall the things I've done

I can see I was completely mad

I know I cannot change my past

But with you I could change my destiny

How I long for you to set me free

1. Then And Now

God has taken me for a life of crime

Misery and suffering and losing my mind

Trying to succeed but I was so very blind

There's no material pleasure that can satisfy time

Serving my sensed with no hesitation

Never even thinking of my situation

Been smashed so many times and it made it so clear

That I was only living in illusion and fear

It's time to advance towards a spiritual state

Instead of serving your senses falling victim to fate

The strength is there inside you, it's never too late

So don't be lead astray by illusion and hate

I'm telling you, you gotta believe in him

Nothing else can save you, open up your eyes, see the light

Hear the truth, nothing else could set you free

Be brave, be strong, you can't go wrong

Be brave, be strong, you can go on

1. Age Of Quarrel

In this iron age of hypocrisy

The war against the weak goes on continuously

Can't you smell the bodies burning

Taste of death in the air

Not for a cause but just for greed

Mad scientist experiment in torture and in pain

Murdering the helpless who's this meant to gain

Polluting creation the air the land and sea

Making this world a hell of toxic misery

For the benefit of man they interfere with nature's plan

Can you tell me what is going on

I look out my window and what do I see

Junkies, gangs and rape and poverty

Don't you see the signs things are out of hand

Don't you think it's time we gotta stop

This modern age so full of grief

I've turned away from it's belief

I watch society digress

And it just looks like one big mess

I can't believe the things I hear and see

In this world there's no remorse

Now's the time we must change our course

Those of us who've seen the way

Must stand and fight for a brighter day
