[Part I: Eye Of The Beholder]
[Instrumental Intro]
[Part II: Blackened]
[Bridge]
Opposition
Contradiction
Premonition
Compromise
Agitation
Violation
Masturbation
On our face
Darkest color, blistered Earth
True death of life
[Part III: The Frayed Ends Of Sanity]
[Verse 1]
Never hunger - Never prosper
I have fallen prey to failure...
Struggle within triggered again
Now the candle burns at both ends...
[Part IV: ...And Justice For All]
[Verse 1]
Halls of Justice painted green, money talking
Power wolves beset your door, hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite, they devour
Hammer of Justice crushes you, overpower
[Pre-Chorus]
The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe, I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you
[Chorus]
Justice is lost - Justice is raped - Justice is gone
Pulling your strings... Justice is done
Seeking no truth - Winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real
[Verse 2]
Apathy, their stepping stone, so unfeeling
Hidden, deep animosity, so deceiving
Thru your eyes, their light burns, hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you with prying minds
[Pre-Chorus]
The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe, I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you
[Chorus]
Justice is lost - Justice is raped - Justice is gone
Pulling your strings... Justice is done
Seeking no truth - Winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real
[Guitar Solo]
[Part V: Blackened (Reprise)]
[Verse 1]
Blackened is the end - Winter it will send
Throwing all you see into obscurity
Death of Mother Earth - Never a rebirth
Evolution's end - Never will it mend... Never
[Chorus]
Fire, to begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened
Fire is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest potency
In the exit of Humanity
Color our world blackened!
Blackened!
