1.	Final Curtain Call [Feat. Ray Mazzola] 03:38	lyrics	buy track
FINAL CURTAIN CALL your world collapsed beneath your feet. destroying all that should be. you should suffer your own abuse. instead you run away. there’s no excuse. this vile scene. the death it brings. these shattered blood soaked hopes and dreams. are laid to rest by the choices you made. another shot before you go away. you rightly suffer for the pain you caused. burned every last bridge now you’ll pay the cost. accelerate this darkness within. a round of drinks before we begin. your crucifixion. it bares like a shroud. with each step you’re only fooling yourself. the vile scene. the death you bring. these shattered blood soaked hopes and dreams. are laid you rest by the choices you made. another shot before you go away. you rightly suffer for the pain you caused. burned every last bridge now you’ll pay the cost. wallow in darkness as your time draws near. the final curtain call. as you succumb to fear. one too many. deadly game you play. pray for forgiveness. get on your knees and pray. look in the mirror. it’s yourself that you betray. so have another shot. before you go away. you think it’s a fucking game? the line you cross. is one you walk alone. the life you save. might be your own. the line you cross. broken bottles. broken bones. the life you save. might be your own.
2.	21 Grams 02:36	lyrics	buy track
21 GRAMS here on the mean streets don’t ever forget. the people. the places. and what they meant. respect only earned. it’s never given away. hard truth of violence just a heartbeat away. the thicker the skin the more you can take. your sanity constantly pushed to the brink. don’t turn a blind eye on the sickness within. or it just might be your end. 21 grams of hatred made me this way. hardened to all that life’s thrown in my way. here on the mean streets one thing you will learn. how quick life can end and the tables can turn. learn from the fallen. those taken away. so easy to fall to the demons that prey. track marks tell the tale of a young life once lost. and so many have paid the ultimate cost. temptation is waiting around every bend. and it just might be your end. 21 grams of hatred made me this way. hardened to all that life’s thrown in my way. fought my way back from filth that held me down. lived to tell the tale and turn things around. so few get the chance to ever walk away. to conquer the demons that once held them at bay.
3.	Judas Kiss [Feat. Karl Buechner] 03:22	lyrics	buy track
JUDAS KISS striking. the poison deep within. deceiving. her beauty draws you in. the venom you spit begins to crack your lips. striking deep within. coagulate the heart with your kiss. tread lightly. the time of reckoning has begun. passionate despair. wrap your tombs of lies that you’ve spun. how many lies will you begin to spin? a mangled web you weave. your Judas kiss just draws me in. how many lies will you begin to spin? a tangled web you weave. your kiss just draws me in. deceiving. her beauty draws you in. striking. the poison deep within. deceiving. you’re cruel to prey on love like this. play your wicked game. weakening beneath your fingertips. submission is quick and feels like knives cutting flesh. so compassionless. fatal attraction and nothing less. how many lies will you begin to spin? a mangled web you weave. your Judas kiss just draws me in. how many lies will you begin to spin? a tangled web you weave. your kiss just draws me in. don’t fucking tell me what i want to hear. you say you’re sorry and draw me near. what’s done is done. your web starts to break. i will never allow myself to make the same mistake. don’t fucking tell me what i want to hear. you say you’re sorry as you draw me near. what’s done is done your web starts to break. and i will never make the same mistake.

POISONOUS GRACE are you searching for absolution? well listen up i've got a solution. i'm not like the others. that's not my intention. my calling comes from divine intervention. that pain you feel? i can take it away. pledge your allegiance. we can start today. don't question my methods. it's the end you seek. just follow me. i'll give you everything. let me lead you to temptation. place your soul in my hands. i am your salvation. follow me to the promised land. are you searching for some purpose in life? a brief respite from the struggle and strife. call me the shepherd. call me the savior. a white light that's here to save you. tell me your hopes and tell me your dreams. reach out your hand and follow me. pledge your allegiance. we can start today. look at this smile. would i lead you astray? let me lead you to temptation. place your soul in my hands. i am your salvation. follow me to the promised land. shamelessly preying on your trust. manipulate through poisonous grace and lust. the blinding light once masked the shame. behind the smile lies the same old devil's face.

6.	Ashes of Man 03:44	lyrics	buy track
ASHES OF MAN is your mind inflicted by constant control? trapped on the inside. malevolent i’m sure. pressured. split at the seams. never knowing if it will subside. undermine the authority or choose to be buried alive. the systematic certainty to your automated path. revolt and be free. intentional enslavement until the insurgents react. change won’t come easy. do you need acceptance to regain control? expose the vein. cancerous to the core. clawing. tearing you free. never given the chance to decide. seek out your clemency or choose to be burned alive. the systematic certainty to your automated path. revolt and be free. intentional enslavement until the insurgents react. it’s our demise. let the flame cleanse my soul. who shall cast the stone? there will be innocents burned at the stake. for all who shall pass. bare witness. our grave mistakes. slap the nails down. stack the bodies high. it’s our demise. bare witness the ashes of man. the decay of man laid to waste. it’s our demise. bare witness the ashes of man. the decay of man laid to waste. our reckoning. we all burn. it’s our demise.
