What is this he sees
All through history
He has been watching over the lands
Now he just sees tragedy
All the world's misery
Are as plain as the lines on his hands

What's this I see
Through the eyes of the King

Still sits upon his throne
Guarded by walls of stone
Through the years he surely has grieved
Look at what the world has done
We have poisoned everyone
Now he sees things he just can't believe

What's this I see
Through the eyes of the King

He looks for reason why
Pain fills his eyes
Run, we can't hide from our destiny
Now we face judgment day
Have we doomed humanity
Is there time for us all to be saved

What's this I see
Through the eyes of the King

. . .


I don't see things quite the same
Pictures inside my brain
Twisted visions, vague and scattered
I just move further away
From life's reality
Like a painting that's scarred and tattered

Can you feel me deeply breathing in your dreams where
I show you pictures only you and I can see

I'm just paving the way
I'm in total control
I don't hear what you say
I am running the show
I know soon you'll awake
But before I go
I want to have a part of you to take with me

Maniacal Renderings of
Twisted Visions showing hell
Maniacal Renderings of
Twisted Visions showing hell
I just want to touch you all
And smile as I watch you fall

I just don't know right from wrong
Or where these memories belong
They are specters, shadow dancing
I tell it all black and white
I use no colors to hide
All the things that are grey and blackened

Can you feel me deeply breathing in your dreams where
I show you pictures only you and I can see

I'm just paving the way
I'm in total control
I don't hear what you say
I am running the show
I know soon you'll awake
But before I go
I want to have a part of you to take with me

Maniacal Renderings of
Twisted Visions showing hell
Maniacal Renderings of
Twisted Visions showing hell
I just want to touch you all
And smile as I watch you fall
Now I will soon set you free
No more will you have to see
These visions that we have offered
Now you may choose your own way
Be sure you never betray
The pictured lives we have ordered

Can you feel me deeply breathing in your dreams where
I show you pictures only you and I can see

I'm just paving the way
I'm in total control
I don't hear what you say
I'm still running the show
I know soon you'll awake
But before I go
I want to have a part of you to take with me

Maniacal Renderings of
Twisted Visions showing hell
Maniacal Renderings of
Twisted Visions showing hell
I just want to touch you all
And smile as I watch you fall

. . .


When we were young but never told
How the world could be so cold
As we change from young to old
The night takes us away
The night takes us away

As the day falls to the night
Then we take the stage
Play the game of life
Where everyone's just trying to succeed

At dawn as the day begins
To weave our way through a world of sin
Temptation only leads to agony

And I can feel you tired, starving
Try to break though

Feel the weight of the world upon you
There's nothing but Evil beside you
Watch out cuz they're coming to get you
Another day just trying to get through

Live, love at times we grieve
But there's so much more that we really need
Seems all there is are sketchy prophecies

Scratch, claw just to survive
Have to fight our way through this world of lies
Just so we can feed our families

And I can feel you tired, starving
Try to break through

Feel the weight of the world upon you
There's nothing but Evil beside you
Watch out cuz they're coming to get you
Another day just trying to get through

. . .


You have crossed the line
Your suicide, the final ride
You ignored the signs
A helpless fight it ends tonight
Your souls traveling on

All the twisted things you've done
You thought you had the master plan
Now it's all caught up to you
And still you wonder why
I can see right through you brother
You're not fooling anyone
Now you pay the final price
It's time for you to die
It's time for you to die

Time is all but out
Death calls for you, what can you do
Try to form a lie to buy some time
So you can run and hide
And beg and plead before the lord
You'll be on your knees

All the twisted things you've done
You thought you had the master plan
Now it's all caught up to you
And still you wonder why
I can see right through you brother
You're not fooling anyone
Now you pay the final price
It's time for you to die
It's time for you to die

All the twisted things you've done
You thought you had the master plan
Now it's all caught up to you
And still you wonder why
I can see right through you brother
You're not fooling anyone
Now you pay the final price
It's time for you to die

All the twisted things you've done
You thought you had the master plan
Now it's all caught up to you
And still you wonder why
I can see right through you brother
You're not fooling anyone
Now you pay the final price
It's time for you to die
It's time for you to die
It's time for you to die

There's something in the night air
Cool breeze make me shutter
Hiw strange is the calm before the storm
Another day of news breaks
A world now in hear ache
Sometimes I feel I just got to let go
And why, why can't we all love
Why does it hurt so, maybe tomorrow
I'm here, I'm free, look up, tell me

And Jesus show me the answers
Your picture is faded, your image is gone, gone
And people can you hear what I'm saying
You'd better start praying
We could all soon be gone

Time it keeps on passing you
Lives caught in a maze
World she's living on borrowed time
Now it's all up to you
As another night grows cold
Lord heal my soul

Have we lost our way
God knows it
Can we change the world
Please show us

And Jesus show me the answers
Your picture is faded, your image is gone, gone
And people can you hear what I'm saying
You'd better start praying
We could all soon be gone

Have we lost our way
God knows it
Can we change the world
Please show us

And Jesus show me the answers
Your picture is faded, your image is gone, gone
And people can you hear what I'm saying
You'd better start praying
We could all soon be gone, gone

Oh yeah
Have we lost our way
God knows it
Can we change the world

. . .


White witch fever, the only way you know
Night time creeper, need somewhere to go
Schizoid, paranoia running through your mind
Everything is closing in, you're running out of time

Gotta push it to the limit
Gotta push it to the limit
Gotta push it to the limit
Gotta push it to the limit

Psycho liar, do anything for cash
You'd cut your grandma to make this feeling last
No sense of reason, the ecstasy you chase
Every second bringing you closer to your grave

. . .


Look at the world we're living in
War, hate, killing the innocent
Manipulating our brains
We're just victims of the insane
Poisoned live, unholy decadence
Filling the new with your sick ignorance
Sending our children to war
Tell me what are they dying for
Who's playing God

Global conflict, this war will never end
Blame it all on misguided religions
Continue your senseless fight
I see no end in sight
East, west following prophesies
Comes to us by radio and TV
Who's telling the truth
Can't you see they're fooling you
Who's playing God

Nothing but lies is what they're always speaking
Power and greed is what they're really seeking
Let's start a revolution
All of out lines to them,
They don't mean nothing
Still they survive
They always think of something
Watching out world crumbling down
And from above I don't hear a sound
Is there time, is there time

Time is short for every race of man
Seize the future, we must make a stand
Stop living their lies
Don't believe their alibis
Try to change the world before it ends
Global war on the horizon
Why can't the powers that be
Open their eyes and see
Who's playing God

Got more than we bargained for
Got more than we bargained for
Got more than we bargained for
Got more than we bargained for

I look in their eyes
I see the lies
There's no place to hide
Who's playing God

. . .


Father as I kneel and pray
To the Lord above, can he save the day
Or will he just turn away
From my heart I say
I long to change this lonely life

I say a prayer every night
That the world will survive
Just souls on a timeless flight

Different cultures, different ways
Father time moves on
We all must turn the page
To a chapter that fades
Down the roads we pave
I long to change this lonely life

I say a prayer every night
That the world will survive
Just souls on a timeless flight

And so my friends I've got to say
I wish to thank you all
Before I go away
In my heart you'll remain for all eternity
The love you gave, what more can I say
You all helped change this lonely life

Welcome to this world of pain
News media fills our brains
War, hate all we dread
Continuous lies we are fed
Cities are burning, ruins remain
Terrorist cells of the insane
Innocent victims of political chess
Stolen lives we'll never forget

Welcome to this world of pain
News media fills our brain
War, hate all we dread
Continuous lies we are fed
Cities are burning, ruins remain
Terrorist cells of the insane
Innocent victims of political chess
Stolen lives we'll never forget

Take me to the promise land
Take me to the promise land
Reaching outward save their precious lives

Take me to the promise land
Take me to the promise land
Reaching outward save their precious lives

. . .


You, looking out of holes
Tell me what you see
Just pain and agony

So this is holy war
The people who live free
Are now your enemy
And I want to know
Is it worth it all?

There's so much waiting out there
Open your eyes and you will see
Or you'll just keep on hanging
Like puppets on a string

You are the living dead
Your life's been thrown away
You're counting down the days

So you're answering his call
To live your life this way
As nothing but his slave
And I want to know
Is it worth it all?

There's so much waiting out there
Open your eyes and you will see
Or you'll just keep on hanging
Like puppets on a string

There's so much waiting out there
Open your eyes and you will see
Or you'll just keep on hanging

. . .


And I know, yeah I know
So many times they've knocked upon my door

Don't believe all that you see
People are actively
Trying to deceive
You with their lies

They approach you like they care
I'm telling you to beware
Evil has no cares
Just alibis

So you open your door
And they put on a show,
Can't you see they'ra just pretending

Speak the words of the lord
His name that they scorn
It's live they're collecting

Thriving in the end times
Trying hard to steal another life
Looking for a good sign
But they've lost them all I'm sure

See they prey upon the weak
Just like the snake they creep
Ever so cautiously
Into your life

Told you lived a life of sin
And if you don't give in
To what they're preaching
It's hell when you die

Then I just slam the door
I can't take anymore
The story's always changing

And I just cannot wait
Till they come face to face
With the God that
They're disgracing

Thriving in the end times
Trying hard to steal another life
Looking for a good sign
But they've lost them all I'm sure

. . .


And in the dark I look for you
I'd expect you'd be there
With every show I run this through
It all seems so unfair
How you lose the ones you love
That you need to be there
You know life isn't perfect now all I do is reflect
Still I pray for you now
Still I pray for you now

Everyday I think of you
Someday I'll meet you there
Maybe you can show me through
Through the heavens we'll share
Til then I'll just say goodnight
And leave you with this prayer
I'm hope in peace you do rest
Forever you will be missed
Ahh, still I pray for you now
Still I pray for you now
Still I pray for you now
Still I pray for you now
Still I pray for you now
