This is your God
We have rendered obsolete
Your church and idols
Will burn in one fatal sweep
In the ashes of this purgatory
Return the freedom of self-determination
A sudden silence will fill this void
A putrid scent of decay
A rotting pile of pious carcasses
Putting your deity to the final test
I have never been an entity of peace
I seek to share in this hideous fate that befalls me
Hate, destroy, dismember divinity
All hail the King of Rats
Prove your faith and follow him down
Submit to the hollow crown
God, my whip will rip at your hide
Children scream at night,
As all hope is crucified
Let my fury and my scythe
Be the foundation of this new life
All hope is crucified
Death to all false gods
And their disciples
Tear them limb from limb
Let the feast begin
Let it begin

Crushed
03:36

|

Let chaos reign amongst the spawn of the deceived
The streets will run with blood before the oppressed are free
A brutal reign imposed on innocent lives
By corrupted mutated hideous fucking liars
Slaughter them in their sleep
Oligarchs and capitalist pigs
Dictators, tyrants and their ilk
Crushed beneath their war machines
A new dawn on the distant horizon
Brings war into the city streets
Outgunned but never outnumbered
They can’t kill us all
There are none so blind as those who think they can see
There are none so deceived as those who truly believe
They are free
Slaughter them in their sleep
Racist scum and alt-right hypocrites
Uneducated neo-fascist filth
Crushed beneath
This war machine
And when you think you’re safe
In your ivory fucking towers
We’ll pull out the foundations
And leave you to bleed in the wreckage
Is this hell
All the devils are here
Draped in human skin
Masked in the flesh of the dead
The sun sets over fields of violence
As we bury our brothers
Leave their dead to rot where they fell
And replenish the poisoned earth
This is not the end
We have barely begun
To dismantle their systems
And undo the damage done
This is not the end

Ever since the day we met
I never trusted anyone less
Behind your veil, a soulless vacant stare
You run away from your responsibilities
Manipulate and distort your reality
Twist and abuse till there’s nothing left
In that void you call a soul
Give up, drop out
You’ve proved it’s all you’re worth
I hope I get a namecheck
In your fucking suicide note
You think you stand above
The other animals in your herd
But you’re at the bottom
Of the fucking food chain
I will admit that I
Was fooled into swallowing your lies
But I can see the truth
Clearer now than ever before
Lose the act
At least be true to your nature
As a serpent, an outcast
Crawl back to your hole
And bury yourself alive
You run and hide from any possibility
Of being forced to face up to your fantasy
To see the truth in the pain you caused
And accept your fucking judgment
Give up, drop out
You’ve proved it’s all you’re worth
I hope I get a namecheck
In your fucking suicide note
And I will curse the day
I learned your fucking name
Fuck you, die slow
You think you stand above
The other animals in your herd
But you’re at the bottom
Of the fucking food chain

Exalt

This is a war between worlds
What the fuck have we done
We let ourselves be subjected
Oppressed and enslaved by the wretched
Two thousand years of tyrannical patriarchy
Blessed by the tears of the suffering children
Injustice plus time
Does not equal justice
I dream of the day
You get what you deserve
Injustice plus time
Does not equal justice
Your godless industry
Will be torn asunder and cast into the flames
This is a war between worlds
Cast down and left to burn
If you’re the best we’ve got
Who the fuck is gonna save us
We can’t go on like this
As if our ignorance is truly bliss
If you’re the best we’ve got
Who the fuck is gonna save us
Why
Why do we exalt
Those who wish us harm
Rule with iron fists
Send our sons to war
Bleed us fucking dry
Cast them down
This is a war between worlds
Cast down and left to burn

Plagues
03:14

Everywhere I turn I see a victim
Every road leads away from home
Every pyre stacked with bodies
Each fire lights the gloom
This place is a fucking wasteland
We know the truth
We stand above our open grave
And hope to be consumed
This place is a fucking prison
We know the truth
We lost all faith in resistance
Now we have been consumed
We said our prayers
And we sacrificed our first born
To the horrors of war
We faced the plagues and the pestilence
And we reclaimed our souls
Only to lose something greater
To the poison and decay
I swear I’d rather be a martyr
Than watch you become a slave
Bite down on the hand that feeds you
Shit from the trough
Detach from this life that will bring you
Nothing but shame and disgrace
Pain, loss and fucking disease
There is no cure
For this fatal addiction

Despair
04:55
|
|
||
|
Trapped inside the guilt and shame we all hide
Bled out and discarded
The remnants of my former mind
Left for the vultures
No lust for life, no sense of connection
No end in sight, no hope of redemption
Left for the vultures
Left for the fucking vultures
My own thoughts deceive me
I can’t even trust myself
In the grip of anxiety
Wishing I was someone else
This is the final prayer
Of a man lost in the depths of despair
I built my castle on ashes
And watched it collapse around me
I gave up my ghost
Let my fire burn out
The light faded to nothing
But no soul is truly lost
Until the ember’s extinguished
No lust for life, no sense of connection
No end in sight, no hope of redemption
I see them circle overhead
With black wings and wicked eyes
Seeking out dead flesh
And now they devour mine
I am reborn, reincarnated
Given a second chance
An opportunity to rebuild
Whatever’s left of my life
But still they circle
My own thoughts deceive me
I can’t even trust myself
In the grip of anxiety
Wishing I was someone else
This is the final prayer
Of a man lost in the depths of despair
I built my castle on ashes
And watched it collapse around me
