Song Name : Forgotten Temples
Artist Name : Sympathy (Band)
[Music: Jeff Lewis, Lyrics: Derek From]
The altar stands before me now
Familiar stones cry out my name
Beckoning me to draw myself near
Tempting me with the lust of my youth
Thoughts resigned to the past
Resurface now illicit only pain
The fervor that once filled my heart
That broke me and drove me insane
Their faces now haunt my every thought
Passion and manipulated youth
A debt that can never be paid
And I was the willful pawn
These hands that grasped for the truth
Were given dire wormwood instead
This mind that sought only peace
Became an engine of war
I became the grinding death
An instrument of deceit
Filled with a passionate rage
The mask I wore became me
I am not what I once thought I was
I am not who I once thought I was

Song Name : Lyrics to Enslaved By Depravity
Artist Name : Sympathy (Band)
[Music: Jeff Lewis, Lyrics: Derek From]
This shard of glass reflects only poorly
The terror that I have become
Its razor edge elicits longing
Beckons of release from pain
The memories are a plague to me
My regret destroys respite
Ghostly figures accuse me of my sin
And no release can there be
Offering confidence
Offering certainty
Offering complete total sleep
No choice remains
Driven unto murder
Consumed with a burning rage
That makes me stronger
It gives me purpose
A captive bound to serve and die
I am the beast that does its bidding
I am the monster I abhor
I sanctioned death. Yet I’m the instrument
Fulfilling the will of others
Offering confidence
Offering certainty
Offering complete total sleep
Now in my cell I pray for death
Now that my mind is awake
Now in my pain a deep remorse
For what I’ve done
Bathe now my wounds my love
Rest my head on your hate
I taste your blood on your lips
The crimson of my regret
Now in my cell I pray for death
Now that my mind is awake
Now in my pain a deep remorse
This shard of glass finds my flesh
No more confidence
No more certainty
Only exhilarating freedom

Song Name : And All Flesh
Artist Name : Sympathy (Band)
I am not conditioned. I still feel pain;
Of a thousand knives in my flesh;
Hanging from the meat covered walls;
Skin stretched tight caught in hooks.
Freezing beneath northern skies;
Burning at the touch of flame;
Tasting fetid sickening smoke;
Hear the beast that calls my name.
Prisoner and captive of a failing war;
I am condemned to die;
There’s no escape from this scene of my demise;
Here nailed upon these walls.
Freezing beneath northern skies;
Hear the beast that calls my name
The cold embrace of decaying hands;
Grasp my body once again;
Putrid breath from cadaverous mouth;
Bathe my wounds in its filth.
Stripped of my footings;
The foundation of my soul is upended.
Deluded by pain and
By the concept of mankind’s demise;
I draw forth the beast;
That resides deep within my heart;
I unleash the soulless haunted scathing;
Fury from within me.
Freezing beneath northern skies;
Burning at the touch of flame;
Tasting fetid sweet the scent of death;
Hanging caught by hooks in my flesh;
Smell the rotting odor of war;
Hear the beast that calls my name.
