Waste Of Man
03:07
|
|||
Every effort vomited forth
Heavily sanctioned without remorse
Trophies made of the bad seeds reduced to timber
Like entering a room and all voices drop to a whisper
The fingers are pointing and you try to stand arm in arm
My skin burns to the touch of your self inflicted cruciform
Vile love
Waste of
Nothing left to be proud of and nothing left to defend
Raise a beacon of victimhood while you piss in the wind
When you could have battled with words you had to use your fists
You had to choke your way tot he top when it wasn't enough to exist
Who are you trying to convince
Traitorous gendered masochist
Vile love
Waste of man
Clock is ticking for the alpha
Clock is ticking in suspense
Clock is ticking for the alpha
Clock is ticking in suspense
For the righteous waste of man

Fear Of A Female Planet
01:42
|
|||
Corrupting serpent's scapegoat
The scorn of man reduced to beasts
Life giving mother to worship at her feet
When complacency is resignation
Removed like a caesarean dream
The sacrifice gets scrubbed clean
Rebirth of anger from my barren womb
If it's a songbird that you need then my nails on a chalkboard are for you
No complacent surrogacy
Spit in poison handshakes and insincere apologies
Their estrogenic fear
in what I see and hear
In what I have done and what I have failed to do
Black brick to the face
What is necessary is what it takes
When less violent lands you in prison, camps and graves

Threaten
03:50
|
|||
Cull the herd
To stop the infection of young minds
An imbalance between consequence and time
Born backwards
These wilting vultures buried with their gold
Their wringing hands are claws outstretched to hold
Fossilized life's blood
The kin of swine as a protected class
Ivory soaked handshakes
Draw lines between the have-nots and the wolves who have
Curse ye all who threaten
The parasite's protection
Tear the family tree limb from limb
Caught in the crosshairs
The bastard child gets shot on sight
While the first born heir to the throne
Gets calmly read his rights when the election coincides
Curse ye all who threaten
The parasite's protection
When the rancid apple falls to the ground
Curse ye all who threaten
The parasite's protection
Tear the family tree limb from limb

Deceiving Days
03:10
|
|||
These deceiving days
wearing thin on me
Flesh cutting to the sound of rampage
One ear and out the rest
Main objective is to depress the mind
A new school of thought as the last breath gasps
My eyes turned to white
In these colder ways
Lie awake like a ghost at night
Death is lurking
A parasite, I'll be
Deceiving days, too close to me
Sun burning out, kills all of humanity
And I seek you, not for disparaging
Bur for new punishment for the fires that burn the earth
Scorched in pain
My eyes turned to white
In these colder days
Lie awake like a ghost at night
I hate, I hate
A parasite I'll be
These deceiving days
wearing thin on me
Flesh cutting to the sound of rampage
I'm dead in my wake

Turing Test Subject
02:30
|
|||
Staring blankly at the sun
For the last time
Leave my body out to rot
With nowhere
With nowhere, nowhere to fucking hide
So what's changed and what stays the same
The subject of my own cruelty
Delicate balance of losses and gains
Revolting process of becoming machine
Subject
Turing Test
I must convince them as I have myself
Subject
Turing Test
Trapped in purgatory but it feels like hell
Biological clocks stop but time goes on
I can't differentiate
Day from night or darkness or light
Shackled to the dead weight of faith
Delicate balance of losses and gains
Commonality existing in analog states
Digitize as man interrogates
Orders assembled at the experiment's behest
Inconclusive results from a turing test

Human Jaw
02:10
|
|||
Human jaw snaps under pressure
Backbones corroded by fear
Sunken eyes go white and roll back
When there's no resistance here
When they hear a tremble in your voice
You put the blade to the throat by free will and not by choice
Death to fair weather scum
This beast in a condition of heat
And you chose to run
So where's the separation
From you and them
When you need their struggle more than before
Only a bark on command
Familiar imprint of the back of a hand
When they hear a tremble in your voice
You put the blade to the throat by free will and not by choice
Shat upon the earth
More cause and effect than luck
So decompose the same
Freed from conscience and crux

Most Vicious Animal
01:54
|
|||
A reenactment of what we all know
Jaw dislocates to swallow whole
While a gold plated inquisition
Baits the public on blue blood fiction to burn
Predatory blood lust
You give the rabid animals your trust
The decision is final
Survival
Survival
Survival
Survival of the fittest not the prosper of the most vicious
Swill honey coated venom
Submit as collateral damage
While the hungry dogs lap up the poison they're fed
We are
Not their
Feather to pluck
One by one
Predatory blood lust
You give the rabid animals your trust
The decision is final
Survival
Survival
Survival
Survival of the fittest not the prosper of the most vicious

Chains Of Apathy
01:41
|
|||
Blind to see in the eyes of beholders
Desperations twisted roots befall this world of soldiers
Snorting faster, chasing new extremes
Deep inside the hands of God slow the breathing
Engulfed in dusk
Whip the chains of apathy
Tortured fucking past
Death is a must
Fractured skulls of government
Build this house of trust
Treacherous signs of fires to come
Inside out for all to see
Emptiness becomes
All I've seen and all I've come to be
Lacking instincts of survival, dead is empathy
Engulfed in dusk
Whip the chains of apathy
Tortured fucking past
Death is a must
Fractured skulls of government
Build this house of trust

Passenger
01:56
|
|||
Give me the keys to a broken lock while the handle's spinning
A young mine's promised land with a death's head grinning
By rote, mindlessly cut the throat with habitual purpose
And send the message clear, there's no fucking safe house here
And there's something you should see
Their demise is not guaranteed
And there's something you should know
The pigs will not always reap, what they fucking sow
What passes for certainty
To keep the fragile minds at ease
When the just desserts are a fallacy
They make the laws
And so it shall fucking be
And there's something you should see
Their demise is not guaranteed
And there's something you should know
The pigs will not always reap, what they fucking sow

Ritualized Crime
03:21
|
|||
With nobility's horrors in tract
They ritualize the crime to trim the fat
Predators hide in plain view
Moral rot in a leg hold trap
Gaining trust comparing whip marks on their backs
Weaponized guilt
Weaponized trust
Hide in plain view
Hell is all people
Like a tyrant's promise
Hell is all people
Like the cardinal's fraud
Hell is all people
Like the vaccine's purpose
Hell is all people
Like the cold grip of god
The hands that caress
Are the fists that cripple
The lips that smile
Are the mouth that lies

Immunity
01:43
|
|||
Beyond comparison
You are the weakest of men
Yet somehow are granted the absence of sins
In silence you call the end for us all
With the smoke building blacker
Domination of souls
Immunity rising
Society crying
You take us for granted
Our rivers run dry
With no smiling children
Were sentenced to lies
A life of disdain
Your existence my bane
I'm living in pain
In hopes that you die
Beyond comparison
You are the weakest of men
Yet somehow are granted the absence of sins
In silence you call the end for us all
With the smoke building blacker
Domination of souls

Tomorrow Will Be Worse
03:54
|
|||
Closing night for the rising sun
So let the imperial surgeon's will be done
Tomorrow will be worse
In 1945 fear strikes first
Now these assembled Manchurian primates
Get to decide the enemies of the state
Eat the leg of the lamb of god
Decide which bodies are prisoners and which rot
Prompt and utter destruction
Diplomatic show of force
A hand casts a shadow across the earth
Plant the seeds of pathetic distraction
Fan the flames to weather the storm
Selling excuses for crimes of war
From deep within heaven fell a morning star
Crushing pebble and tombstone alike
From above comes a vision of hell
So when convention failed
The bloody means to blood ends
Another land is conquered
Justified into an early grave
While undeserving lives are squandered
Closing night for the rising sun
So let the imperial surgeon's will be done
Tomorrow will be worse
In 1945 fear strikes first
Now these assembled manchurian primates
Get to decide the enemies of the state
Eat the leg of the lamb of god
Decide which bodies are prisoners and which rot
Cease to exist – bloody means to bloody ends
Cease to exist – justified into an early grave
Cease to exist – from deep within heaven fell a morning star
Cease to exist – hung like an albatross, led to the abattoir
Cease to exist
What have we done
