Lyrics from the Sinner's Intuition album:

Witness to the Fall

- 27 years I have wasted/Razor to wrist will erase it/Fix me a drink and some pills for relief/As I wait here to die/She'll be by my side/The suicide bride/Death is the new life/Can I get a witness to the fall?/Slitting my past for a better (quicker) tomorrow/'Cause there is nothing in this world that can keep me alive/Thanks for nothing/Into the looking glass a dreamland if you dare/You are going nowhere fast in this shape of despair/Welcome to the fall/We're so glad that we could see you end it all. (Lead: Joe)

Blacklist Assassin

- Infiltrate their trust/Then release the lie/Right between the eyes/Turn around and take my hand/I'm the blacklist assassin/I will never forget so save your hollow regrets/I told you that I would not forget and I will walk away without a regret (no regrets)/The girl speaks still in horror/Right behind the black door/The blind man is shifting/Now cut him down in a fury/In silence I remember the very thought of you/In violence I dismember every thought attached to you/Lest we speak the more we gain/In the end nothing remains/Assume the obvious/Don't ask any questions/Everything is wrong/Expect the devious/Then turn and make the call for the blacklist assassin (Lead: Joe)

The Slain

- Beyond all recognition/Beyond what is believed/There lies a contradiction/The edge of sanity/Murder hides in every pathway/Sweet dreams in your casket bed/Hiding in the pathways we are the slain/Mandatory assassinations/A welcome sight to those in pain/To those in pain we are the slain/Let it be as it was before/The father, son, and holy war/Another day, another killing/As it was in the beginning/Forward to infinity/Forward to decay/The existence of our own free will/Spilling now into the fray/Burn every idol/Spit on the ashes/Remember to honor the blood of the ages/Damn the hordes they will revel in shit/We will destroy them all/Blitzkrieg retaliations/The outcome for a world gone insane/In a world gone insane we are the slain/Strike up the war!!!!!! (Lead: Joe)

Halo of Ruin

- Freedom is never free in this kingdom of lies/Enslaved by design/Failure figure/Unspeakable cruelty/End of all mankind/Shedding a lifetime for all to see the light shine/Fighting and fleeing/What is there left to seethe in?/Fooled by the style disease/You'll come around, but you know that you'll be waiting there with me/City of  sin/Where the end begins/Halo of ruin turns fortune to famine/Sadist executioner/Betrayer of dignity/Cult right down the line/Decrepit conscience/Fading resistance/Lights out for the last time/Breaking the skyline for all to see the dark side/Living and dying/What is there left to breathe in?/I am the enemy/They'll come around, but you know that you'll be waiting there for me/Look at the world through blood-stained eyes/Look at the world and its final demise/Betrayed by design/This is the end of all mankind/City of sin/Halo of ruin/Lights out/Let the end begin one more time/Shedding a lifetime for all to see the light shine/Shedding a lifetime for all to see the dark side/Fighting and fleeing/Living and dying/I am the style disease/You'll come around, but you know that you'll be the enemy (Lead: Stell)

Enemy Angel

- Wings of the harlot burning the night sky/Sirens screaming through the valley/The dawn of chaos/Spilling the blood of the heathens in the streets tonight/The angel of mercy is laughing/Still holding on to the scythe/Wings of scarlet/Burning harlot/Right through your poison hearts/Into infernal desire/The enemy angel arrives(burning brighter)/Now she's coming to take you away/Into the darkness divine/This enemy angel of mine/The ending was written right from the start/We are tearing down the sacred heart/Scenes from a generation/Waiting for something/Now holding nothing/Right from the start/Tearing the sacred heart/Plague raging/Wrath of the gods/Death - Destruction/The devil's way/Nowhere to run/Nowhere to hide/Armageddon holiday/Blood of the heathens/Now begging for mercy (Leads: Stell 1^st, Joe 2^nd , Stell outro)

Sever the Ties

- In thy name/The cursed and the damned/Heartless in compassion/Lifeless in submission/Let it die one more time/Irony in shallow cries/Contortion of emotions/Piling the bodies high/Blazing reign of terror searing through the void/Memories of yesteryear are now destroyed/Sever the ties/Walk away or surrender to the lies/Sever the ties/Just walk away or surrender to their lies/Seeing is believing/Only the ashes remain/Sky of ash/Waves of graves/Waiting for the day/Winds of retaliation/Victory in chains/Divine as it seems - signify your glory/ Liar… Traitor… Sinner… (Lead: Joe)

Words in Red

- Icon versus Icon/The two shall become one/The prophet so pathetic/ Now cast them down in stone/They say 'em in a pit of confusion/They say 'em in a fit of delusion/Face down in the grave your destiny awaits/Bleed to breathe your blasphemy/Down by the gallows/Down by the released/There lies a premonition/Waiting for eternity/Words in red now in your head/These messages exorcised/These messages sent from the dead/Countless martyrs/Brought down by acts of hate/Can't kill what has been said/The words of the living dead/Fear not the wall of suffering/Fear not the pain of dying/Fear not the endless tragedies/Fear for the new beginning/Forgotten is the savior/The icon of the weak/Words in red - save us from hypocrisy (Leads: Stell 1^st, Joe 2^nd,  Joe outro)

The Course to Oblivion

- The end of forever/Your time is now/Full speed ahead/Full speed down/Enter salvation to take your sins away/Exit tomorrow to take away the pain/Steering the course to oblivion/Towards this dead end dream/Facing the fears that have haunted these years/Nothing is what it seems/This moral face/The face of infamy/Reveals the scars/The scars of ecstasy/The silent revolution/A waging war within/Darken all my dreams/Damn my cares to hell/I have never lived before/Never knew what life could really be/This is the human tragedy/If we only knew the power within the mystery/I have never died before/Show me that you are the one/The one to start this over now/Why did you curse me with life everlasting?/Enter salvation to take your sins away/Exit tomorrow and take away your pain/Your time is coming/Here's to forever - a distant memory/This silent revolution/Wage the war within/Darken all my dreams/Damn my cares to hell/So haunt me until the bitter end/Wallow in shame with death my only friend (Lead: Joe)

Lyrics from The Forever Endeavor album:

Tales of Bitterness

(Lead: Stell)

 The illusion in us all - a social parasite
Manipulating circumstance or a judgment stigmatized?
The inner revolution, the ruins of the heart
These are tales of bitterness let me take you to the start

I feel it coming down
And waiting at my door
My god so far away
Does he need me anymore?

We travel in this rapid form
Unable to fulfill our dreams
The fleeting thoughts of yesteryear
Impossible for you to breed

Songs of a shattered lifetime - modern day dramatics
Another contradiction is rising through the conflicts
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing stays the same
We are magnificent material exposed to decay

At the farthest reaches of my sight
You’re not there

Where are you now?
As I cry for my reprieve
Where are you now?
As I become who I am supposed to be

Tear my heart
Ease my pain
Further below us yet so up high
This paradise will never survive

The wrath of mankind means nothing here
The hands of the liar will seal my fate
I am burning alive

As the angels weep, the prophet decrees
“Withered wings shall befall the kings”

(Lead: Stell)

(Lead: DeGroot)

The illusion in us all - a social parasite
Manipulating circumstance or a judgment stigmatized?
The inner revolution, the ruins of the heart
These are tales of bitterness let me take you to the start

I feel it coming down
And waiting at my door
My god so far away
Does he need me anymore?

We travel in this rapid form
Unable to fulfill our dreams
The fleeting thoughts of yesteryear
Impossible for you to breed

The Forever Endeavor

Born upon lies
Deception and strife
Poised to be art
This lifeless heart

Where will we be?
What does it mean for me?

Follow the truth then take it with you
Further and further away
To save humanity
Beyond the realm of time

In my eyes
A reason’s demise
This moment of truth
Shall cut all the ties
Say goodbye
Leave it all behind

Curse the word
Let it be heard
Witness the fall
I want it all

Reach for the promise
Hold back the tears
Down on the inside
Nothing left to fear

Behold the mystery
On this endeavor that will last forever
Make a believer in me
On this endeavor that will last forever

(Lead: DeGroot)

Feel the air as two wills collide
Send me away as you look towards the sky
Perpetual existence - A place where nobody goes
The path of least resistance - A place that nobody knows

(Lead: DeGroot)

Born upon lies
Poised to be art

In my eyes
A reason’s demise
This moment of truth
Shall cut all the ties

Where will we be?
Say goodbye

3. A Break From Tradition

Screaming for mercy
Why can’t they hear me?
These nights are filled with heartache
These nights are filled with an empty glass

Just turn us up and step aside
We know you very well
We know what dwells down deep inside
Come see this from the past
‘cause the cynics said it would not last
Now watch them disappear
The truth will begin right here

These streets will burn behind you
As tradition breaks tonight
Go forth and tell the world
We have arrived

Our spirits clad in black
This color runs down my back
and leads me to your home
The channel never has it
Shift to automatic
It’s how the cycle goes
Then see what they really know

(Lead: DeGroot)

These are the signs of our times
Take what you want and leave all the rest
Hearken back to reclaim your creation
and break this tradition

(Lead: Stell)

(Lead: DeGroot)

For years we have wandered in dismay
Now here we stand as one
Stronger than you’ve ever known

The loss of innocence became your saving grace

What can we do right now?
What more can we say?

Fuel the rage
Echo salvation

They’ll never run us out
We’re martyrs in the making
Look deep into their eyes
They’re ripe for the taking
Erase all the lines and get back in the fold
This is the day and age
Of monumental growth and change

These streets will burn behind you
As tradition breaks tonight
Go forth and tell the world
You have arrived

4.Vertigo Equilibrium

Spiraling universal spectrum
Cosmic active sonar mind
We are on a quest for equilibrium
Through caverns that intertwine

Faded-stellar resonance
A sudden flash of delirium
Surrounded by lightless clouds
Castaway into obscurity

Dismal awakening
A diversion from this vertigo
Maze of confinement
Every turn leading back again

In the winding hours
In a manic wave hysteria
The solar storm awaits
Implode to explode
Recycled existence breathes
Dawn under the timeless sun

(Lead: DeGroot)

Spiraling universal spectrum
Cosmic active sonar mind
We are on a quest for equilibrium
Through caverns that intertwine

Faded-stellar resonance
A sudden flash of delirium
Surrounded by lightless clouds
Castaway into obscurity

Dismal awakening
A diversion from this vertigo
Maze of confinement
Every turn leading back again

(Lead:DeGroot)

Dead Light, Dead Night

Hear me now and die with me later.....
There is no truth but the end of forever
To solemnly swear to have and to hold
and until tomorrow, the word shall bleed old
(As the heart now grows cold)
For I am one and one in you
An eternity begotten from the earth anew
You sow the seeds, I reap the harvest
and rape the sanctity’s gaze

Awakened from this sleepless night without a soul to bear
Please tell me how the story ends before I lose it all…make it disappear
Tranquility and futility, two words stifled in stability
Oh how I am praying for that day.....will the nightmare ever end?

Dead Light, Dead Night
Impurity and spiritual bliss
in heaven’s chambers by a mere mortal kiss
Dead Light, Dead Night
Loathe me and love me, love me and leave me
As you fall from grace your lord is with thee

I was not trying to make it different
I just wanted control
Don’t even try to make me believe
The pain will go right through you

(Lead: DeGroot)

Deterioration, elimination --- of our destination
Inferior will in a virtual thrill --- as time stands still
No, I won’t let you in
Meet me at the turning point as there’s no turning back
The silence is deafening.....go in for the kill

Dead Light, Dead Night
Impurity and spiritual bliss
in heaven’s chambers by a mere mortal kiss
Dead Light, Dead Night
Loathe me and love me, love me and leave me
As you fall from grace your lord is with thee

I was not trying to make it different
I just wanted control
Don’t even try to make me believe
The pain will go right through you

6.Cloaked In Need

Once alive - deep inside
Now staring through unforgiving eyes

Guilt in my heart
My fate in your hands
I ask for forgiveness
Now tell me your plans
You speak to the mirror
Speak to your lies
Do you like what you hear?

No cares or worries it’s now all behind you
Move on now move on, but let me continue
As you cling to those objects - the ones you hold dear
There will be nobody near

-Unleashing the fury inside-

Watch me now bleed as I stand here before you
In mercy, in love - I’ll show everyone here what you do

This is the way the deal has been made

I swallow my pride, get back on my feet
While waiting for you and your life cloaked in need
Feel the cold of a black-hearted soul
So deadly a force that alone it cannot run its course

Silence replaces your once changing faces
Wretched and reckless - a sorrow now endless
Sick with self-pity you are now growing weary
I laugh as you cry

Take me away from this place you’ve created
Do you not see I am striving for change?
My hands tied behind me with no ground beneath me
It is time to let go - time to set me free

(Lead:DeGroot)

Gather your weapons and gather your friends
Celebrate losing at life once again
Grieve by the bottle
Laugh at the past
Flash us a smile and see if it lasts

The pictures are fading as life takes its toll
Now there is nothing left to show
Take a look and you will see I did what was best
You did all the rest!

7.The Acting Parts

Walking through the shallow-filled escape
As we have seen it many times before
Right on towards the resolution
We fall within the tides of evolution
To mock the tyrants---it's the essence of man
and to conquer it within our hands
Right on towards the resolution
We fall within the tides of evolution

We await the day
For another time where we can fall in line

We are the ones who are in control
It’s the reality within the role
All these faces like you’ve never seen
The acting parts within you and me
Now we are waiting for the sign
It’s the truth within the line
All these faces like you’ve never seen
The acting parts within you and me

Narrow minded - the feverish stance
The pseudo-blind romance
Holding on in desperation
We fall within the halls of desolation
Deviate the means until the end
Reverse the sequence and take a stand
Holding on in desperation
We fall within the halls of desolation

The lucid design of a dying race
Tell me where you stand in this great big space
Scripted and obscure with words unbound
Within these words the secrets shall be found

Defy the darkness here
Defy the darkness as it draws near

The struggle now unfolds as the millions in death await
Let’s break the silence

(Lead: Stell)

We are the ones who are in control
It’s the reality within the role
All these faces like you’ve never seen
The acting parts within you and me
Now we are waiting for the sign
It’s the truth within the line
All these faces like you’ve never seen
The acting parts within you and me

We await the day

The acting parts within you and me

8. Poison Me

Call my name without regret

and I’ll be on my way...

What are we doing here?
Why are you asking me?
This red color from the line
A strange sense of sympathy?
I cannot be one with them
so I’m standing by your side
Torn between what’s real and binding
as those scenes keep rewinding
All I can say and do is surrender to the guilt
that it puts me through

I am the poison fountain
I am the poison seed
I love to poison you
You love the poison me

Beware this twilight creature
This demon of the night
Feed off its energy
Breathe in its frightening dream
Now I am one with them
No longer by your side
Sit back and hold on tight
Get ready for the ride
All I can say and do is surrender to this misery
that it puts me through

I am the poison fountain
I am the poison seed
I love to poison you
You love the poison me

A carnal desire - my life is now at stake
For all that I know, how much more can I take
The battles, the rages, the infinite stages
Where we become the dead

At the hour of my grief
Please tell me what I need
‘Cause no one seems to understand
My place in life or who I am
How can I go on like this?

We have faltered again
beneath the saddest shade of life

(Lead: DeGroot)

(Lead: Stell)

Bring me all your hell

What are we doing here?
Are you still asking me?
Just look right down the line
You will find no sympathy
See me, hear me, know who I am
I am the one with contemptuous hands
This is the name that you wish you could forget
This is the name that you now regret
Tell me what to say and do
Tell me what to say to you
…but now it’s too late

I am the poison fountain
I am the poison seed
I love to poison you
You love the poison me

(Lead:DeGroot)

9. Redemption - The Death of Vanity

The lines have been drawn
Mark the ground with ashes
Forget me not
I am the icon of the masses
The tables will turn, another will burn
The blindness now revealing
In darkness defiled, a work in denial
The leper is so appealing

Redemption - crawling in the depths of a thousand scars
Is this what you’re dying for?
Redemption - crawling in the depths of a thousand scars
To become the savior

(Lead: Stell)

(Lead: DeGroot)

Cowards! Cowards!
They hide behind their salient walls
Lash out towards the ignorant
No mercy for the innocent

Autocratic?
Democratic?
Or a population overkill?
One by one
The image that will fade away

I stalk you in the night
Without warning and out of sight
I don’t care what’s wrong or right
‘Cause it all ends here tonight
Your blood is as good as gold
Another victim waiting to be sold
Watch out, you may be next
Down at my feet just like all of the rest

(Lead:DeGroot)

(Lead: Stell)

Fists in the air march with me
Rebels heed the call
Patron saints of ill-borne sin
Let the movement begin
I told you once, now for the last time
Give us a chance, give us a choice
Here is the plan to reverse the voice

Redemption - crawling in the depths of a thousand scars
Is this what you’re dying for?
Redemption - crawling in the depths of a thousand scars
To become the savior

10. All for nothing

I've had enough

of these worthless words you speak

and it's become too much for me to take

can you reach inside of my dead heart

and restore my faith, because it's lost

Lost in your hopeless, empty eyes

Eyes so blind to all that's real

It's a shame that you will never see

See what you've left inside of me

Take the time to do it right

and cleanse yourself within this light

Disconnect to re-invent

what is it that you lack                               

that holds you back somehow?                   

Break me down just once again

You'll find no answers within

One false move unlocks the truth

Who is it that once said

"The past repeats itself"                          

Who fucking cares!   

And so it has to end

There's no reason to pretend

And as the seasons change

We find there's no one left to blame

So when all is said and done

I find I'm not the only one

This lovely misery we shared

Was all for nothing

Love gone wrong

But was it ever really truly right

Who's to know and who's to say

There's no reason to stay true in vain

Say what you will to ease your pain

And I should've seen it from the start

A fake that hides behind a fragile smile

Can you truly build a perfect life

with designs custom made to suit a whore

Take the time to do it wrong

and see what's been missed all along

Talk is cheap and so are you

Whatever will this poor girl do to free herself?

And if you ever do decide

to take hold of your makeshift life

Wipe away all of your tears

And realize that no one cares

you've failed again

You're on your own                        

Rise....And soar above the rest

And realize you've passed their test

To turn back now

would surely crush all you've gained

and that would be quite a shame

So swallow it as it comes

beacause too much is not enough

And if our paths cross again

don't dare speak a word

I've heard it all before

save your dying breath

I don't care anymore

There's no more you and me

but please don't fail to see

That everything we had

still lives in memories...

(Lead: James Murphy)

and so the cycle continues 

Outstretched arms

won't you warm me with your cold embrace

and fuel my hate just once again

Deep inside there's still a part of me

That longs for your faithless, bitter touch

But these feelings never really last

no longer  slave to your foul kiss

I have washed my hands of all of this

I've regained my life, you're dead to me

Take the time to do it right

and cleanse yourself within this light

Disconnect to re-invent

What is it that we lack, that holds us back somehow?

And If you ever do decide

to take hold of your makeshift life

wipe away all of your tears

And Realize that no one cares

we've failed again

you're on your own

And so it has to end

There's no reason to pretend

And as the seasons change

We find there's no one left to blame

So when all is said and done

I find I'm not the only one

This lovely misery we shared

Was all for nothing...
