Even if a Samurai's head were to be suddenly cut off, he should still be able to perform one more action with certainty. If one becomes like a revengeful ghost, and shows great determination, though his head is cut off, he should not die.

Odyssey 08:49
Blinded eyes, tarnished soul Hate breaks forth, fear grips hold Bathed in a river of regret Sins of past you can't forget It's time to crawl with the dead Your demons call It's time to crawl with the dead Blackened soul Crossing through planes of death Watch as they are torn asunder Leave the life which you once led They all cry till they're no more Here it comes again Washed away with the rain Will gives in, I'm losing vision Was this life just an illusion? Arise, break free Wake up, go forth and save yourself Arise, break free Wake up, escape this nightmare now Somehow you must find a way Somehow, bring forth the light of day Go towards the light of day Don't be led astray Carry through the day Don't be led astray Go towards the light of day Don't be led astray Carry through the day Don't be led astray

Succubus 04:13
Once upon a time I had a brother We could take on the world together You were I and I were you And we were so inseparable But all of a sudden, out of place You shut your door right in my face To all my pleas you were invisible You turn to her in your desperation You turn from it all into isolation Pale and spineless from the crack of the whip You can't even hold your own arguments Look in the mirror, can't you see what you've become? Away from your friends and your Dad and your Mom You've dropped out of school, you've lost your job You've lost your religion, you've lost your way And in my anger, some words were said But through it all, I've got no regrets Tell Lolita I don't really give a fuck about her If we ever meet face to face, you'd better have your facts straight Crawl to your succubus On your knees for your succubus Hide with your succubus Go and please your succubus Come back, come back, amongst the living This is not worth the sacrifice You cannot simply erase A goddamn decade of your life I'm done with useless frustration You'd better enjoy your isolation

I see you smile in old photographs I read the faded words that you wrote A roomful of trinkets and mementos Tokens of an aborted affection You've left this place But you still haven't left me I can't see you But you're everywhere I look Remove, remove Remove yourself from me Forty months of memories You're all I've ever known So excuse me if I'm an emotional wreck Jumping to jealous conclusions I'd love to forget I want to move on What do I have to do? Too much for too long Remove, remove Remove yourself from me You're not a lover You're not a friend You're just a pain In the back of my head Remove, remove Remove yourself from me I see you smile in new photographs The smile I've seen a thousand times It brought me back from the edge But the smile is not for me No, the smile is not for me

End Of Days 08:21
A million miles away Far beyond the reaches of the stars We have found no heaven Only broken dreams and broken hearts We have seen the signs Of it's eternal sleep become disrupt We are not prepared To face the final judgement of this Earth It has given us the tools To be free of space and time It does not require pride Or even great religious crime We can feed the mouth of Hell Devote your body, mind, and soul Burn the heretics On crosses made of holy men and bones Can you change Towards the end of days? Beams of light fall from a broken sky The ground will open to swallow you whole Feel the fire from the depths of Hell Will we ever find a way to survive? You can't run or hide The end of the line Can a soul be saved In an unmarked grave? Dying embers waning Suffocating light Silent waves are crashing Under broken skies Can you change your wicked ways? Are you prepared for the end of days?

Phoenix 05:46
Now they send you off There's now time for thought You must soon partake In the trials of war Sin and vengeance, we pray And your duty is clear With your eyes of blood You must plague them with fear Rise from the depths, behold the Phoenix The Phoenix rises forth Rise from the ashes, you are the Phoenix The Phoenix rises Look what your hands have wrought Plague and death distraught You're the breaker of peace Whom the leaders have sought Rise from the grave, immortal Phoenix The Phoenix never dies Rise from the depths, rise from the ashes Dealer of death, dealer of madness You're an army of one Who is hunted by all Slayer's bloodletting feast All the kingdoms shall fall Rise from the depths, behold the Phoenix The Phoenix rises forth Rise from the ashes, you are the Phoenix The Phoenix rises Rise from the grave, immortal Phoenix The Phoenix never dies Rise up from battle, immortal Phoenix A devastating force Rise from the depths, rise from the ashes Rise, rise, rise The Phoenix never dies Rise, rise
