Shadows Fall

Just a word all it takes to set it off
Uncontrolled all restraint has been lost
말 한마디가 모든걸 터트린다
감당할 수 없는 모든 억제력을 잃어버리고
Absorbing more than I can stand
Of these self defeating unreal demands
내가 감당할 수 없게
내 자신을 망가뜨리는 요구들에게 흡수당하고
Giving into frustrations command
The devil makes good use with idle hands
좌절의 명령에 복종하고
악마는 게으른 자를 이용한다

Overwhelming desire to react
I am too far gone forever turning back
무언가 하고 싶은 욕망에 휩싸인다
나는 너무 빠져들었다
Looking for something to lash out at
Turning inward it is myself that I attack
무언가에게 퍼붓게 계속 뒤돌아보게 되지만
끝내 안으로 돌아보면서 내 자신을 타격한다

The anger grows inside everyday
Unquechable I have become my own prey
매일매일 내 안의 분노는 커져가고
돌이킬 수 없게 나는 내자신의 먹이가 되간다

From where has this rage been spawned?
Been building deep inside for far too long
어디서부터 이 분노가 나오는가?
너무나 오래 동안 내 안에서 커져간다
Forgotten memories buried and hidden
creating my own emotional prison
잊혀진 추억은 묻혀지고 숨겨지고
내 감정으로 만들어진 감옥이 생겨난다

Can it be that i have lost?
Control of my actions and my thoughts
혹시 내가 잃어버렸나?
내 행동과 감정들의 지휘력을

Having awareness but no true sense of self
You find yourself enslaved in chains of earthly wealth
The unending chatter that plagues the mind
Confusion will be all that you find

Chaos reigns in an untamed mind

Still question all i know advancing foward
This fallacy i have disowned
Still question all i know advancing foward
This fallacy i have disowned

You must quench the yearning and false desire
Only balance will elevate you higher
You must train the body and the mind to serve
Envisioning thoughts without words
Chaos reigns in an untamed mind

Still question all i know advancing foward
This fallacy i have disowned
Still question all i know advancing foward
This fallacy i have disowned

Encaged in a world that fear creates
You must release yourself and liberate
Encaged in a world that fear creates
You must release yourself and liberate

Still question all i know advancing foward
This fallacy i have disowned
Still question all i know advancing foward
This fallacy i have disowned

I am seeking the way...
I am seeking the way...
I am seeking the way...
I am seeking the way...

The sweet taste of self destruction
Waves of purity wash away the memories

I keep on falling off
I keep on falling off

The agents of change will dissolve

Into the fabric of our very existence

I keep on falling off of this straight
and narrow line
The calm embrace of a sedated mind

Giver of life
Destroyer of senses
I INVOKE!
The sweet taste of self destruction

Waves of purity wash away the memories

I keep on falling off of this straight

and narrow line
The calm embrace of a sedated mind

Here i go again
A vicious Cycle without end
Seeking distance for security
A desperate act to remain free
A balance point cannot be found
This whole thing will come crashing down
Down! Down!
My fear will drag you down
Into this world that i create
Your love for me has sealed your fate
Down! Down!
My fear will drag you down
Can I trust in what i feel?
Praying that this time it's real
Feel the strain!
All this times been spent in vain MY SHAME!
open wounds that still remain DECAY!
As my faith is stripped away YOU'LL STRAY!
The final price i have to pay

Digger in deeper still
The hollowness I yearn to fill
The story always ends the same
The cycle soon begins again

Stepping outside the circle!

I am sheltered by this apathy
Nothing left to do but torch the day
Retreating deeper into my mind
What is it that i hope to find?

This is the aftermath in me
Tendency to keep it all inside
A fool's disguise

I am strangled by this sumpathy
Empty words with no meaning
Must release myself into the void
All illusions must be destroyed

This is the aftermath in me
Tendency to keep it all

How dare you compromise
The balance of our lives
Excuses you devise
An internal suicide
I struggle to survive
A perfect goal for which to strive
Ignorance cannot disguise

The balance of our lives
Hiding the meaning of
Hiding the meaning of

Staring fowar with vacant eyes

Imagination Cannot survive

Misinformation and compromise

These televised conditioned lies

Create a system of belief
Heartless purveyors of deceit

Seems clear to me you've never known me
Doubt everything you've never shown me

Images flash by in waves
What to buy and what you'll save
All the products that you never craved
you've become another slave

All the lies that you told
I will not be bought or sold
I won't fit into your mold
I will not be bought or sold
RISE! And break away from the system
RISE! And crush the voices in your head RISE!
I want back what you stole from ME!

A fire burns in Babylon a spark will soon ignite
Burning flame of Jah light a fire that will purify
Wipe away the city's lies reducing fortunes into ash
Tear apart your useless mask
Nowhere left for you to hide
Damned for your foolish pride
Chant down Babylon Chant down Babylon

Revelations time is now
Your world will crumble to the ground
Final judgement now has come this is armageddon

A eulogy for the modern man enslaved and devoured
By the strength of it's demands
A eulogy for the modern man hide your head and cower
Or be struck down where you stand

To advance in truth and rights
To advance in love and light
The path of righteousness is leading
The songs of I and I are pleading
In the grace of Mt. Zion
With the strength of a lion
All barriers shall be broken
All heart alight and open
A fire burns in Babylon your world will burn
A fire burns in Babylon you world is burning down

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time
Provided with toys and 'Scouting for Boys'
You brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn't like school
And you know you're nobody's fool
So welcome to the machine

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean gituar
He always ate in the Steak Bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the Machine

First strike of the creation
Shakes the earth at its very core

Pangea shattered, humanity is scattered
Separation for evermore

Eternal conflict, waged since the dawn of time
A delicate balance waits. This evil seems to be undermine
As the battle lines are drawn, and the kingdoms choosing sides
Concealed from his light. Abandon all that unifies.

Been fooled so long by the lies of this unholy adversary

Flee the lies

The Godhead has been split, exiled by mankind
Although we're out of reach, His message transcending time
As the battle lines are drawn, and the kingdoms choosing sides
Concealed from his light. Abandon all that unifies.

Been fooled so long by the lies of this unholy adversary
How can we free this world, it soon will melt away
As we await the wrath of a God betrayed
Gow can we save this world, it soon will melt away
As we await the wrath of a God betrayed

Rise stand take over
We are crushing Belial
Rise stand take over
We are crushing Belial

Alone I am
Feeling caught within it's wind
When I noticed
All hope is lost and blwon away

Never knowing what may come
Never showing what's been done
Never knowing what may come
Never showing what's been done

Realized potential so long in denial
Cast off this shadow, escaping Belial
Redemption of the forgotten
Redemption of the forgotten

How can we free this world, it soon will melt away
As we await the wrath of a God Betrayed
How can we save this world, it soon will melt away
As we await the wrath of a God Betrayed

Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial
Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial

Abandon this search for an ultimate reality
Your words only used to conceal the true meaning
Never speaking from the heart
As you've built a wall of lies, silence falls
Awakened all that you despise
These lies, our chosen roles
force-fed your values and your goals
Why? You won't see
Truth : unity
Bound eternally
Reincarnation of the eternal soul
This struggle forever in our blood boils
Withstanding these attacks
Lay waste to all your claims
Kept chained no longer
Finding strength in all your shames
These lies our chosen roles
Force-fed your values and your goals
Why? You wont see
Truth: unity
Bound eternally
Forgiveness for those who stray
Protection through unity
Forgiveness for those who stray
Protection through unity
These lies, our chosen roles
Force-fed your values and your goals
Why? You won't see
Truth : unity
Bound eternally
Forgiveness for those who stray
Protection through unity
Forgiveness for those who stray
Protection through unity

As reality washes away the faded memories of daylight
This is my escape
Realization of my mind's own deceit
Perception Slips away
Lulled into a fools paradise
Words mislead again
the agony of imaginary sins and fears
truth of suffering
Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)
Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)
Disintegration of the ego with this mind creates
False idea of self
The cessation of continuity and becoming
True enlightenment
Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)
Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)
Someone free me from heaven torn asunder
full of empty promises to be there if I wonder (Alone and wandering)
Will not remain enslaved
This world's transparency
I see right through
I walk alone
As reality washes away the faded memories of daylight
This is my escape
Realization of my mind's own deceit
Perception Slips away
Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)
Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)
Someone free me from heaven torn asunder
full of empty promises to be there if I wonder (Alone and wandering)
Extinction of thirst
Extinction of desire
Extinction of hatred
Extinction of illusion
This is absolute

Dying over and over in my mind
As you twist the knife I wonder why
Why you bothered to take this time
Too concerned with yours, I should think of mine

Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see)
While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream)
Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone)
I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me)

My pain is all inside
Until razor and arm collide
From my heart upon the floor
Take my blood but you take more

Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see)
While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream)
Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone)
I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me)

Take my life, you take more
Of my life, take some more
Just let me die

Dying over and over in my mind
As you twist the knife I wonder why
Why you bothered to take this time
Too concerned with yours, I should think of mine

Do you sleep alone thinking of me (I can see)
While I sit alone wondering what could be (while I dream)
Do you lay with another but not with me (you've never been alone)
I sit alone because you're not with me (you're not with me)
Of my life, take some more

Stagnation, motionless air
A shroud cast over understanding
Gasping to inhale the manna of life
But still you decay
So wake up and strengthen what you have
Before it dies completely
I am the first, I am the last
I am the living one
fury of a God encaged in
Human self doubt
Power to create burns within all
All Jah children
I am the first until this day unseen
And I search for this light within me
As you turn toward the sky
Script of thousand lies, and in judgement you,
Burn, Fir burn them.
Burn, Fire burn them.
Stagnation, motionless air
A shroud cast over understanding
Gasping to inhale the manna of life
But still you decay
So wake up and strengthen what you have
Before it dies completely
I am the first, I am the last
I am the living one
fury of a God encaged in
Human self doubt
Power to create burns within all
All Jah children
Burn, Fir burn them.
Burn, Fire burn them.
The comfort for which you yearn
I find within myself, I and I
Now summon forth this hailstorm
Of blood and ash
In judgement this fire forever will burn
In judgement shall fire burn

Can I prevent this loss and pain to hasten my release
Or am I damned to existence alone
Sear me child, let this pain set me free again
With broken promise, never know what this life could bring
And the time spent alone sorting through emotions
Is a blessing that I know I cannot repay
With only words I can't express my deep regret
Of time gone by and of feelings that I'll never know
Pain believed but never shared has left me damaged here
My wounds will bleed anew, I am now exposed
Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me
Holds me tight in crushed embrace
Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear
Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me
Hold me tight is crushed embrace
Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear
Revel in my loss
Sear me child, let this pain set me free again
With broken promise, never know what this life could bring
And the time spent alone sorting alone through emotions
Is a blessing that I know I cannot repay
Revel in my loss
Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me
Holds me tight in crushed embrace
Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear
Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me
Holds me tight in crushed embrace
Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear
The end draws light with this pressure
Lacerations upon you relieve yourself
Pain that grips me

Toppling building blocks
At the base of all mankind
Redirection of evolution
Electromagnetic control of the mind
Arising from technology
Creation, new entity
Mankind, forever be
Bound, and gagged
A new breed of control
Manipulation of space and time
Warped perception dictating action
Sick delusion they're divine
Arising from technology
Creation, a new entity
Mankind, forever be
Bound, and gagged
Mechanically possessed, placed under control
They keep us marching
Mechanically possessed, placed under control
They keep us marching
A conspiracy unwinds
As the government denies
Lost children pays the price
Suffocated by their lies
Arising from technology
Creation, a new entity
Mankind forever be
Bound, and gagged
Toppling the building blocks
At the base of all mankind
Redirection of evolution
Electromagnetic control of the mind
Arising from technology
Creation, a new entity
Mankind, Forever be
Bound, and gagged
Mechanically possessed, placed under control
They keep us marching on
What did they hope to find
What did they hope to gain
What did they hope to find
And what has become
They kept us bound and gagged

Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp
Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands
gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes)
Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind)
Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side
Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside
gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes)
Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind)

You speak to me in rhythm and it waves across the water
You speak to me in ways that I don't understand
deep inside I hear every word every way
And after all is lost there is nothing left inside of me

I long for your touch
How I need to breathe your breath again
Deep inside me I know I'm alone
how I cherish your persuasive warmth
This is not what I want life to be
(there is no way I can stop this now)
And there's nothing left inside of me

I long for your touch
How I need to breathe your breath again
Deep inside me I know I'm alone
how I cherish your persuasive warmth
This is not what I want life to be
(there is no way I can stop this now)
And there's nothing left inside of me

Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp
Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands
gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes)
Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind)
Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side
Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside
gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the warmth of your eyes)
Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind)
Endlessly unfallen words I cannot replace

don't cry my love, I believe that I won't fail you again
But I long to be your servant once more
By the morning light I'll have breathed my last
I implore you, don't forget my love

Don't cry my love, I believe that I won't fail you again
But I long to be your servant once more
By the morning light I'll have breathed my last
I implore you, don't forget
