*SHOCK*
                                
Welcome to my world
            Headfirst to the Earth
With my sights on the goddamned kill switch
I've become a fuse
                     Charged with attitude
                 Fixed and dialated by my anger
                                
                     I have become a direct

                   I will be the power surge 
                      Shock to the system
                     Electrified, amplified
                      Shock to the system
                                
                       Alternate my wires
                      Heat my core desire
               I will not stand for condemnation
                     I've become the volts
                      To lead the revolt 
               Fuck with me ensues certain danger
                                
                     I have become a direct

                      Shock to the system
                                
                      I am the power surge
                       I am the insurgent
                     Electrified, amplified
                     Electrified, amplified
                                
                             Shock!

*DESCENT*
                                
                  Falling victim from neglect
                Designed thoughts and intellect
                    Forgotten and displaced
                     The crux of my dismay

      Given a chance to bereave life that's slipping away
                                
           Suffered through tragedy of my slow decay
           Deceptive tendencies dragged my soul away
                                
            All that I know there was no God for me
         Force that shatters all, absence of mortality

                       Reach for the sky
                         Touch the sky
                         Revive a hope
                          For mankind
                                

                         

*TIMELESSNESS*
                                
              I've felt darkness closing in on me
                Chilling shadows surrounding me
             I've had the poison leak into my skin
                 And it corroded my heart away
                           Bled away
                            Cut away
                    Dark night of my soul...
