Someone to Hate

Album: True Defiance (2012)
Play Video
  • A figure for the closing of time, the antagonist divine
    Void of vacant word, one final answer to be heard
    I will carry my decree into a storm of lead
    This is total war, my want for tolerance is dead
    To my last breath
    I am someone to hate
    I will spit upon the idol for which you stand
    I will carry the weight
    I will bury your deception with a wrathful hand

    Heart is cold, and my weapons are washed in blood
    I avow to the call on high
    My resolve in the blessed above, in this ever-consuming divide

    A figure for the closing of time, the antithesis defined
    Threat to faith untrue, I am the enemy of new
    All you advocates of hell, you corruptors of free will
    The culling is nigh, better get your fill

    I am the cry for the falling of time

    Born into the lust within our eyes
    Taught to write the scriptures for our lives
    We inherit the lies

    To my last breath, to my final day Publisher: Capitol CMG Publishing
