INTRO
Desire the source of all suffering
This is the spectre you fear
I am the root of all evil
the absence of all you hold dear
Unleash the unbridled madness
that taunts you night after night
I am the darkness that finds you
when you wander out of the light
I'm the phantom that hides in your closet
I'm the beast lurking under your bed
I'm the thing going bump in the night (yeah)
I'm the maelstrom inside of your head
You feel these icy fingers
Grabbing at your spine
I am the soul collector
And I will make you mine
There's no place to run
There's no place to hide
Where fear can't hunt you down
and I will make you suffer
Over and over again for the rest of your life
Terror the chill that surrounds you
creating the bumps on your flesh
These are the memories haunting
a time you would rather forget
panic the sickness that rises
when peering out over a ledge
I am the bubbling anger that
just pushed you over the edge
I'm the phantom that hides in your closet
I'm the beast lurking under your bed
I'm the thing going bump in the night (yeah)
I'm your sanity left you for dead
You feel these icy fingers
Grabbing at your spine
I am the soul collector
And I will make you mine
There's no place to run
There's no place to hide
Where fear can't hunt you down
And I will make you suffer
over and over again for the rest of your life
And when you take your last breath
You will suffer a fate worse than death
On the wings of a Valkrie we ride
to the palace where fear resides
There's no place to run
There's no place to hide
Where fear can't hunt you down
For the rest of your life

I come down-from the kingdom of heaven
to remind you of past indescretions
Now I'm gonna make it hurt
As the trumpets are sounding for your transgressions
This existence is begging for judgement
With the sins of a billion souls
Who remains to be judge and jury
I will be It shall be so
I watch you burn
as I ascend
I wish I could take you with me
I watch you burn
and meet your end
I wish I could take you with me
I come back-with a renewed aggression
for my brothers deny my perfection
Now I'm gonna make it hurt
It's about fucking time that you learned your lesson
you plead for a final repentance
as the fire rains from the sky
you've already earned your sentence
and you still have the nerve to ask 'why?'
I watch you burn
as I ascend
I wish I could take you with me
I watch you burn
and meet your end
I wish I could take you with me
So you choose to live a life of sin
Just feeding the demon that dwells deep within
I'd show you something great that could have been
But the gates of my kingdom will not let you in
It's such a waste
To think we had such greater hope for the fate of mankind
My name disgraced
Your eternal souls so ashamed for following the blind
So you choose to live a life of sin
Just feeding the demon that's swelled deep within
I'd show you something great that could have been
But the gates of my kingdom will not let you in
It's such a waste
To think we had such greater hope for the fate of mankind
My name disgraced
Your eternal souls so ashamed for following the blind
this world erased
Forever regretting the choice to be so unkind
the acrid taste
Of death in your mouth as I leave you all behind

(Verse 7/8)
the lord's going to lay waste
the entire world he will devistate
its scattered inhabitants all the same
it will be for priests as for masses to
wither and suffocate
the earth is defiled by its populace
for all of his laws they do desecrate
and have violated the statutes
(bridge)
The floodgates will split us asunder
violently shaken reels like a drunkard
so heavy upon it the guilt of rebellion
that it will falter to rise never again
(prechorus)
Therefore a curse will consume
this hell our guilt is our tomb
Praying to god with my eyes full of shame
I just need something to put out the flame
I am a sinner a bastard a liar
I just need something to put out the fire
(chorus)
Create to Obliterate x4
Verse (sweeps)
The timbrels are still and the harp is quiet
the city lies desolate
the noise of the revelers has gone silent
the entrance to every house is barred
City is left collapsed
its gates have been decimated to scrap
And so will it be among all the lands
as when an olive tree is beaten
(prechorus)
Therefore a curse will consume
this hell our guilt is our tomb
Praying to god with my eyes full of shame
I just need something to put out the flame
I am a sinner a bastard a liar
I just need something to put out the fire
Verse 7/8
I can't see through the flame
punished for all our days
he sayeth the moon she will be dismayed
he sayeth the sun he will be ashamed
he sayeth the lord almighty will reign
(bridge)
But I say I I waste away
Woe to me the treacherous betray
awaiting you, the pit and the snare
whoever shall flee at the sound of the terror
(prechorus)
Therefore a curse will consume
this hell our guilt is our tomb
Praying to god with my eyes full of shame
I just need something to put out the flame
I am a sinner a bastard a liar
I just need something to put out the fire
(chorus)(sweeps)

Alone I scour my city
see women ruin their lives
with natures disposition
succumb to every vice
of me they are not worthy
these harlots and these whores
slaves to desires earthly
their sickness i abhor
I make an ivory statue
fullfill my need within
her curves as smooth as velvet
her flesh like porcelain
i gaze upon my virgin
bask in her purity
she'd move if only not
discouraged by her modesty
the festival of venus
gold cattle laugh and sing
among the burning incense
I make my offering
If you can give all things, god
why must i be alone
I pray my ivory maiden
be wife of flesh and bone
They say the finest craftsmen
conceal art within art
This beauty I have fashioned
Bestills my beating heart
her perfect naked body
lain on my crimson bed
oh can you feel, my love
a silken pillow for her head
bring her the finest presents
once thought only for fools
clothe her in the finest fabrics
decked with the rarest jewels
I beg my ivory maiden
that she return my kiss
I feel her real as though her
skin bruised by my fingerprint
and with my prayers goddess
venus shows her grace
flames leap upon the altar
my bounty they embrace
the festival of venus
gold cattle laugh and sing
among the burning incense
I make my offering
If you can give all things, god
why must i be alone
I pray my ivory maiden
be wife of flesh and bone
the statue lay beside me
my hand upon her breast
under my touch she softens
a pulse comes to her chest
a light awakens in her eyes
a blush upon her face
how i have longed, my mistress
to feel your warm embrace
