I am man I walk this route Everyday Gray streets and billowing smoke stacks Towards the factory A slave to the cycle A slave to my debts Work this flesh To the bone Meaningless Life, I know Search for Sustinence I exist Until the work is done In the blink of an eye Things transform before me As I fell to the ground Life was just beginning Descending to an end All hope running from me When my flesh hit the steel Darkness enveloped me Bright Flash Never Happened Flashing lights all around Swept away to decay Pariah is found Conventional healing ways Not the answer This coma This sleep Will change The sands Of time Awakenend by the sounds Of whispers of prototype Unaware of what it means My vision more acute My senses heightened Most of my Human flesh Morphed into Bionic mesh Dark thick skin Dark blood Scientists Standing above As the words leave their mouth I begin to perceive All the changes abound Will now define whats me Most of what I once was Now new machinery Despite what I've become Purpose surges in me I am the genesis And I am the new age I am becoming Pariah And I Am Hope My very first steps Towards the future Are complete

I am Pariah Cast out for being different My body filled with circuitry My heart is the core of this machine This world I walk Dismisses me Thrown down and Cast out and Relegated Abhorred For far too long My subsistance A target For their feeble derisions The more They talk The fury builds They'll know They'll fear This reprisal Their actions stood for far too long Now I will share this sickness With the worst of you all No pain will be felt No knowledge of these actions Close your eyes and dream Of a life without machines Now arise Cold and alone Feel the pain of machinery Connected to your very bone This moment This movement So very sweet You'll awake to find Bionics for your head and feet No pain will be felt No knowledge of these actions Close your eyes and dream Of a life without machines

Prepare the world For the new age Man will advance Evolution Progression In this world Overdue Skin and bones Stronger now Bionics The key To our next level Borrowed time We will rise On our own The ones who stand directly In the path we forge Will be cast aside Just as we were Their fate lies in ruin A casualty, a crime The eyes of fate are focused On this time The cowards In our path Bystanders Casualties Of this war The reign Of the pure Comes to an end TODAY Controlled world No longer Broken chains We will not endure What was wrought before No need for the dissension Of this archaic world Of blood and machinery Weíre made to carry on Beyond the limitations Of the pure and old Built with a purpose To bring about the end (breakdown) This is a warning, a chance, a promise And we scream it on high The evolution's coming To bring about their end (breakdown)

The first memory I have Is the feeling of winter The cold breath Painful against my skin My youth was spent Developing a callous To that pain My father, a survivalist My mother, hyperborean And from them I learned to love my fellow man And from them I learned to protect what I love The child became a man The man became a soldier Sworn to protect this land, these people From all that stood in our way The purveyors of technology The architects of our demise Are creating shells to control us all And ive seen what thoese creatures can do They are not human And they will be the end Of free will When flesh is replaced with circuitry When you want to make humanity When you enslave the pure To the masters behind the screen I am anathema And I am the hope you seek Join me and cleanse the earth

Anathema 04:32
Fire The guns all at once It's the sound of the victory Purity Is born in this flesh And only the pure deserve life These bionic shells These former humans Are a plague and must be removed They threaten our freedom Fire upon the masses So, we must ascend Gather the armies To eliminate this threat The enemy The hero Pariah Was designed to enslave Disassemble the machines Eradicate Eradicate Eradicate Eradicate I am Anathema I am hope I am The bringer of the cleanse I am Anathema I am hope I am The bringer of the cleanse I am Anathema The bringer of the cleanse
6.
Vagary 04:22
The silence that surrounds me A nightmare in itself Paralyzed by its presence Hope lost in a single breath Sleep beckoned me so softly If only I knew the cost Conceiving a reality That could easily exist Society will collapse on itself Because of petty difference No chance to stop The oncoming storm No way to survive The coming end Fire consuming Every single last one of us The smell of our demise Creeping across the once Beautiful landscapes Where our homes once stood As I lay here sleeping A revelation in my dreams Overwhelmed by endless death As ash replaces our flesh Overcome by these visions Afraid I wont awake Is this the future That I have made Just one more day Until the dream is real Dreams are forgetting That I control my destiny What if this is not A dream I had What if this is just A premonition In my thoughts I must change the course Of the coming future Of the human race The fear we share together Is just a conspiracy We made to advance A worthless cause Hellbent on ending us

Struck down By my peers For fear of the unknown Different and unknown Because my flesh has shown Im not who I was As seen by there eyes Cast out into the shadows As my will to live… My attempts to Return to Regular life Have been met with Constant and endless strife Constant and endless strife No will left No will left Hiding in the shadows No will left Terrified By their kind Terrified I’ll draw line Around my neck In case I have to cut it And quickly escape The life I leave behind Is truly missed Slice left to right Eternal bliss Depressed and alone No breaks no resolution They come creeping in I am man’s evolution The pain in my bones Alive and pulsing true No more fear of man I know what I must I must use this Hatred and fear I must strike back And impart fear I am the arbiter I am the nightmare No more fear No more pain Rising from the shadows I am here They’ll be Terrified They’ll be Terrified I’ll draw a line clearly In the sand To let the world know This is where I stand The life that was Is now replaced I am Pariah All doubts erased I’m reborn I will rise I am Pariah I am Parian I am the pariah I am the pariah They’ll be terrified They’ll be terrified I’ll gather myself As if to say This my world too And I wont go away Proudly standing Stronger than before I am the pariah Forevermore Forevermore

Ever since my return I felt the eyes of those Surrounding me aghast By what is under my flesh Fear and No want for understanding My eyes No longer gateways to me Scorn fans The needs to choke the flame That burns deep down below The rotten existence Of those who stop progression The sad persistance The longer I am treated Just like a derelict The more the want to despoil All the want emanates in me Eyes turn Away from things I once loved Marrow spurned From other ways of thinking I yearn To stop this dangerous culture Erase disease from the world Shadows are only what I see Climbing the walls around me Im letting go of humanity Faces that once searched for amity Now distorting at the sight of me Retribution I seek The enchancements I received Were given with a purpose Life surging into me One less in a pile of the dead I am reborn With renewed purpose With malice and spite for man Transformed Into a common weapon Made for A means to mass destruction Torn down To the very fabric Into what I've become Shadows are only what I see Climbing the walls around me Im letting go of humanity Faces that once searched for amity Now distorting at the sight of me Retribution I seek Lines of code Lead me home Lines of code Lead me home Retribution I seek Writhe Writhe Writhe Writhe Writhe Writhe

Pale Existence Born from My own volition Torn From that life By circumstance Now I rise Out From the lab Body and mind Synced and in tune (Chorus) Open wide All their eyes But the world has shown That no matter what It's not ready for Evolution They are done They are gone It is evident By their words Stark Actions by The ones I once Called my family Scorn And deceit Inflicted on The man I've become Changed And contorted The faces and the moods of The pure and holy (Back to chorus) Open wide All their eyes But the world has shown That no matter what It's not ready for Evolution They are done They are gone It is evident By their words Pulled Born anew Pulled Born anew Pulled Born anew (First solo) Call it jealousy Call it fear of the unknown I've become the new target For the world to tear apart (Second solo) I WILL NOT COWER IN THE SHADOWS Born anew Born anew For the face you see Is still human and I WON'T FAULTER On this earth On this earth Behind shallowness Behind fear of the GREAT UNKNOWN Same as you Same as you A heart beats inside And I feel all the PAIN INFLICTED And it grows And it builds inside

Solemn My flesh and mind Have grown weary And I've tired of this disparity Though noble this cause may be These battles have taken their toll On my mind, my body, and whats left of my soul The unremitting need for persecution The untiring addiction to retribution A malady driven deep into our constitution To the point of overwhelming disillusion Standing firm In the beliefs that I've acquired From watching mankind toil and conspire Drawing lines in the sand at our feet Starting an end we've yet to complete A stunning vision, cataclysm A war we bring upon ourselves The wrong decision, annihilation Instead of heaven, we brought hell Our differences are the cause Because we've refused other thoughts We're marching on Into what we thought was the sun But the end of man has begun One by one by megaton We're marching on Into flames brought on by the bombs Slowly we black out the sun One by one by megaton One last decision, determination Utopia or endless fire Arbitration, adjucation Join as one or burn in hell We stand on the final precipice Concordant or sentenced to death We're marching on Integrated or drawing our guns Unified through one solution One by one become the sun We're marching on Cheating death together as one The next stage of life has begun One by one become the sun The final question, a destination Survive or buried in the ground Determination, self-preservation Surviving past the final count Either a new age has begun Or we all cease to exist as one
