Preface
(Oviedo)
Mankind came into the world
Seeing it’s surroundings
he wondered why
Everything did work and damned
The problems he saw before his eyes
As a way out of everything
He decided to create an entity
A escape goat, a being to put
The blame on as he gave him a name
Chorus:
As man fought his brethren
He never realized he was killing
His own kind and the purpose
Being to defend a man-made creation
Lets call him God since he will
Be our ruler and savior
And a book was written to explain
His beginning an background
***Chorus***
Thus societies were formed in his
Almighty and righteous name
And as man made different stories
Of his birth wars were fought
To defend their side of the story
***Chorus***
In conclusion as we fight
For and against this thing called God
No one has ever bothered to realize
That all we’re killing is ourselves

No Questions Asked
(Oviedo)
As I look around I see
I turn the tv in my head
And as it warms up
I find what’s inside
That’s when I see
All the misty
The fuzzy images
That’ll never be mine
A future I found
Before my very
Unholy eyes
But when perfection has died
Your debts still need to be paid
Who’s gonna be your Daddy,
Your Mommy in the end?
Chorus:
Cuz no one told you’re saved
No one has proved you’re alive
And your still there wondering
Why you were left behind
So sell your share and get out
While you can cuz when all’s
Said and done you won’t
Be able to get away
But still I see myself there
Trying make it
Make it work anyway
Cuz They never told me
How it could work
But still I sat there
Tried to make ends meet
Through all that I knew
Everything that had failed
Cuz when you manual’s missing
You need a quick answer
How will you get out
If you don’t know how
***Chorus***
Bridge:
And still you remain
Still you just lie there
The questions that life
Never really answered
But what if they had no
Reason, no motive to tell you
What do you do now… Son?
***Solo***
I stare at the booze
I’m wondering why
I throw it away
No questions asked
Yet my mind wonders
Yet my mind ask
Who’s the authority
Inside?
Cuz when you’re not home
But you still need a place
How’s fantasy gonna fill
That empty dead end?
***Chorus***
Chorus 2:
Cuz when your mind’s all made up
And you have found your friend
You take what’s become your life
To the other end
And no one said no
No one said good-bye
Cuz that would otherwise be
The end of your holy life

Human Born Child
(Oviedo)
Sitting in a room
Sobbing uncontrollably
Why this all today?
But this is not an
After school special
And this isn’t a dream
So awake and alive
He seeks out an answer
Search and you will find
How to get rid of his curse
That’s how he found his God
But temporary solutions
Never healed the curse
So why would it work
This time, any or ever?
Pre-Chorus 1:
I used to think
It was in my head
But the evil I felt
Was more than true
And when you’re told
It’s all for your good
What do you do?
Who do you really trust?
Chorus:
The magic spells,
The community prayers,
The ones some used
To help people
But instead were used
By a mother to turn
Her kids into
Children of Khrist
And so he sits
Weighing his options
Looks at his pillbox,
Looks at his bible,
Looks up at the ceiling,
Looks down at the floor,
He agrees to the cure
Calls for a deliverance
And intervention of his life
Brought on by human kind
But he knows this is
Also dancing with the devil
Pre-Chorus 2:
Taking his life into his own hands
He disposes the pills,
Takes his bible
And joins the men in prayer
As he righteously kills
The demons inside
***Chorus***
Bridge:
But you can pray for
Heaven on Earth
Your demons and curses
Are orchestrated by you
The being responsible
For your holy demise
Is the same being that
Came to me
As a desperate child
Seeking out an answer
And it not being just
Black and White
You fled…
***Solo***
(One more piece of the puzzle,
One more pawn in my game)
Now he looks at his gift
He blesses the men in charge
And leaves the room
Praising the Almighty God
Now a warmth in his
Blackened heart,
He sees as he tries to
Embrace his fate as a
Man of God
For she failed him
His last hope for
Any chance of
Any hope of…
***Pre-Chorus 1***
***Chorus***
Chorus 2:
But taking away people and
Opportunities away did not help
Cuz magic, the power of Christ
Can not undo and change
The heart and mind of a
Human Born Child…

Addict’s Regret
(Once Saviors Birth)
(Oviedo)
I just woke up
Physically harmed
Yes, it happened again
But why this time, why?
I followed the rules
Did as I was told
But no one knows
How to control this
This…
Pre-Chorus:
Liquid dreams and fast
Pictures
I see,
I smell burning…
Blurry images,
Disfigured people
Remain inside my mind
Chorus:
I’m not fucking high
I didn’t get drunk
But I feel like an addict
Every time I take my dose
Cuz I wasn’t born this way
I have tubes that keep me alive
No, I don’t want your shit
But I’d like to taste
what’s it like to be alive
You lied to me
Told me you could help
If I only believed
In an all powerful God
But that didn’t work
Only through my will to live
Did I see the light
So, does that makes me Him?
***Pre-Chorus***
***Chorus***
Bridge:
Breathing fresh air
Seeing the sun for what it is
Never taken away
What’s it like to not see black
From time to time?
To re - member what you did today?
To know you will not be changed
Mentally, not physically harmed
By your own hand
***Solo***
I can’t seem to
Figure it out, I won’t waste
My precious time
I’ll just…
Just pretend
That I have found a
Way as it fools
Those around me
***Pre-Chorus***
***Chorus***
Chorus 2:
Said I’m not intoxicated and
I don’t have needles in my arms
But I still see them melting
I never chose this life
Cuz lying in a pool of my own blood
Was never my idea of fun
Thinking of this as recreation
As an escape from this fucking life
Do us all a favor
Exterminate what you have
You don’t deserve to see, to feel
Every time you breathe in and out

It Has Taken Over (Into One)
(Oviedo)
I awake as I see
The bars before me
The chains on my
Wrists and ankles
And then she spoke
In my direction
As the men came
In, took her away
Chorus:
You and me
We’ve seem
To see the same
Picture of pain
And loss,
We have a tragic
Union that makes us
Into one
As they said to beat her
They looked at me
They saw the resemblance
Two people with equal
***Chorus***
Bridge :
And who’d knew
It would all come
This far ‘for it collapsed
But if the plans were
Set in stone there wouldn’t
Be a need for a … yeah right!
Now it has hit me
It has taken over
I am merely a
Passenger in this
***Chorus***
Chorus 2:
As I look all I see
Is my reflection of
The one and only me
