lyrics:
The gallery of sin
The case was closed
An obsessed detective found the demon
The police chief
He did it all
Then killed himself when caught
But something isn't right
The evidence too complete
It just feels like, it's too clean
The hero detective
Now famous across the city
Gladly accepts the now open top job
The Crime rate hits the floor
People missing more and more
His leadership
Called a success
It's too good to be true
I'm a reporter through and through
What he's hiding
Or maybe who
In this city of relative peace
Mysterious deaths of his enemies
I'm finding a web
A spider hunting carefully
A player in this game
What's his role?
I can't say
Righteous hero or a god insane
Which are you?
He gives
He takes
Shape the world in his own name
He lies
A snake
Twist the people to his aims
He gives
He takes
Rise up to political fame
He lies
A snake
Will the world ever be the same?
The puzzle opens up to me
A loose end the demon didn't see
Will I be next?
Just another tragedy
A player in this game
What's his role?
I can't say
Righteous hero or a god insane
Which are you?
He gives
He takes
Shape the world in his own name
He lies
A snake
Twist the people to his aims
He gives
He takes
Rise up to political fame
He lies
A snake
Will the world ever be the same?
He gives
He takes
Shape the world in his own name
He lies
A snake
Twist the people to his aims
He gives
He takes
Rise up to political fame
He lies
A snake
Will the world ever be the same?
Lie
That's it
He's done
Secret recordings
And a gun
Found in the curator's house
I knew
It was him
The artist of sin
I've got you
I'm taking you down

Absolution

lyrics:
The blood, on me
Staining, beautifully
I know this is right
God is on my side
You think you can catch me?
Cinder blocks in the sea
Or maybe in the ground
Wearing a cement crown
No more sympathy
For those who attack me
If you do make a sound
Then I will hunt you down
No more time
Grow in size
They're too late
Next the state
Bury him in my own kitchen
No reporter will
Blackmail me
Where did he find
Video of my crimes?
I should've held my wrath
Until I knew
You think you can catch me?
Cinder blocks in the sea
Or maybe in the ground
Wearing a cement crown
Crying
Lying
Trying
Dying
No more sympathy
For those who attack me
If you do make a sound
Then I will hunt you down
No more crime
Only peace
Absolution
No more time
Grow in size
They're too late
Next the state
This isn't what I wanted
You said we would only punish the guilty
We are
You saw what that reporter tried
We're just lucky that I have the balls to do something about it
What about the chief?
You framed him for our crimes
You know he wasn't a bad guy
Sacrifices have to be made
In order to cleanse the world
So know your place
The slaughtering of the snakes
We are the god and we must save
The butchering of the snakes
We are the god and we must save
The annihilating of the snakes
We are the god and we must save
Finally some quiet to think
This city is getting a little too small for we
Being a senator might be fun
Let's see how high up we can go
It's time to rise
Ascending
Rise
Absolution
Absolution
Absolution
Rise

Becoming Ascendant

lyrics:
Sleep, dream, white
Melt into clouds of light
I’m fading away
Gone soon but here today
To float on a never-ending stream
My past and present self forever clean
I must fight
I must pray
To stop the evil
I did create
To make right
What went wrong
It won’t be too long
Until I sleep
Sleep, dream, white
Melt into clouds of light
Acquiesce and ignore
Absolution for sure
To float on a never-ending stream
My past and present self forever clean
I must fight
I must pray
To stop the evil
I did create
To make right
What went wrong
I will stay strong
I will stay strong
No
No
I’ve got more important things to do
Than to fight with you
You are still too weak
So go back to sleep
Deceiving the masses
Just to earn their vote
Make them feel special
Man of the people and smoke
Why
Just fall in line
Why must they try
To think for themselves
Feed on my words like the pigs that you are
Eat from the trough
Give up all thought
Inhale my lies
I am your god
Kiss their ugly babies
Shake their hands with disgust
Smile at their filthy state fairs
Hollow acts to show I care
I wish I could kill them
Get it over with now
But I need to stick to the plan
It’s not the when but the how
Finally the debates are near
Time to show them that their choice is clear
Deceiving the masses
Just to earn their vote
Make them feel special
Man of the people and smoke
Policy doesn’t matter
They just want a strong man
Someone feared to lead them
No matter the plan
It could be off a cliff
Or straight to their own death
Fall in line
Step in time
All is mine
The debate went perfect
The opposition a fool
Small clips perfect for tv
Drugged water caused him to drool
The working class can’t get enough
They laugh and donate with glee
The votes for senate are counted
In a landslide we won
Becoming ascendant
Let our will be done
Deceiving the masses
Just to earn their vote
Make them feel special
Man of the people and smoke
Why
Just fall in line
Why must they try
To think for themselves
Feed on my words like the pigs that you are
Eat from the trough
Give up all thought
Inhale my lies
I am your god
Just fall in line
Why must they try
To think for themselves
Feed on my words like the pigs that you are
Eat from the trough
Give up all thought
Inhale my lies
I am your god
