Gently
04:27

|

Paranoia engulf this place
Down the halls and up each stair case
Shed light on the path we chose
To everyone who should have known
We can do so much better than this mediocrity
Burnt out by bureaucracy
And the flaws in our regime
Have you followed the doctrine?
Recite back the lullabies
Do not go gently from this place
All living things crave an empty space
Stand by your guns
So when the devil walks we'll all have some fun
We've all seen braver men downed by dumb luck
Your incompetence breeds our disgust
Gather round the masses
Lined up with open arms
In the face of a cold embrace
Have you followed the doctrine?
Set free from your own mistakes
Do not go gently from this place
Save yourself before we fall in disgrace
The map has been misplaced
What is your meaning?
What is your purpose?
You better watch what you say
Do not go gently from this place

Scripture
03:13
|
|

Oh what a terrible turn if events
The saviour's only son has spent
All of his gold, frankincense and myrrh
In a temple of lost love and saboteurs
An open book in careless hands
Could be the death of our advance
Can you feel the shame in your gut?
Now the scriptures been lost in the flood
Everybody put your hands in the air
Sing hallelujah cuz the end is near
No time for last words or a prayer in your name
The secrets out and all your gods are the same but...
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Let he without sin
Be the first to light them up
Do you expect a phantom to save you
If you can't even save yourself?

Fang & Bone
04:04
|
|
||
Can you see the monsters, lurking in the dark?
Every creature has its prey; each dog will have its day
I've become aware of, the sound a foul mouth brings
Can you hear the cries of a thousand souls
Distained with blood, my king?
Usurper
Is this all that you wanted?
Paved in gold
Is this all that you needed?
Broken bones and a heavy heart
Is this all that you wanted?
To strike the match
Heading straight for disaster
On the serpent's back
Crowned, indulged and fed with our hopes
Beware when fang meets bone
You're dragging hell into paradise
Distort the truth on small whims for hits on an empty site
Broken bones and a heavy heart
Is this all that you wanted?
To strike the match
Look past the screen to see the only remedy you'll need
Is peace of mind in a sea of tranquillity
Crowned, indulged and fed with our bones
Beware when fang meets bone
You're dragging hell into paradise
Blood soaked hands on your own device

The Wretched One
04:35
|
|
||
Fragmented, discarded
My whole life I've been taken for granted
I sought refuge
In your fair hands
Until you found a new cross to bear
The saddest thing is I can see
A part of you still living within me
Each day a blessing
Each day a curse
It's the flip of a coin
Well spent on my ill health
Fragmented, discarded
My will to bury the hatchet
My innocence
Replaced by hate
I'm sorry mother you've dug your grave
I stand by
My own short comings
In hopes that you might find reasons in my actions
My innocence replaced by hate
Burn the wretched one
Burn the silver tongue
Your words are wasted
On ficticious serenity

Lone Wolf

No. Get out of my head
Don't. Put this to bed
Back the fuck off, leave me alone
4 long years you've been silent as stone
Same tricks, same lies running down your thighs
Fallen into habits what a god dammed surprise well
I pray you know that I am not content
With the way you left my hunger unchecked
Lies, lies
Take your best shot I'm bulletproof
Lies, lies
You can fool the pack but not the lone wolf
Your shit already stinks so fucking bad
It's really obvious I'm not the first you've had
Sick of playing games face first in the dirt
Ripping off the fur from under your skirt
Are you offended by my way of life?
It's basic instinct, just an animal's vice
Same lies, snake eyes I despise
The same old story
Same lies, snake eyes I despise
You'll get what you deserve
Same lies, those snake eyes
The fever builds and now my hairs are on ends
I hate to be the one
To break the mould and let insanity overcome
Awash with feelings
Drowned in guilt and remorse
I should have killed you
When I had you in my claws
I'm a lone wolf
Man I'm bulletproof
I'm a lone wolf
You'll get what you deserve

Cargo Cult
03:22
|
|
||
Choose your deity
I am in death
What I cannot be in life
The path of least resistance
Has been wearing thin
Your ignorance is not
A substitute for bliss
Feign your wounds
Maybe one day you'll be hit by a car
Mistake the headlights for angels above
Become a convert in a cargo cult
Worship idols to the gaslight of misanthropes
I am in death
What I cannot be in life
Return the soul to the soil
Feign your wounds
False afflictions with no burden of proof
Pave the way
For the rise of a new theme
We can't survive without bargain bin deities

Parthenocarpy

Forget my name if you don't like the way
It sits on your tongue
I've got no use for your constant self-abuse
Get it away
Grinding my teeth on the back of your neck
I haven't found anything sweeter than this
You used to be the apple of my eye
But now the fruit is rotten and I am blind
I seek forgiveness, so please bear witness
This is my battle cry
We're all controlled by a deadly disease it seems
It's found a way into our very thoughts
And spits then out before we know they're gone
Sinking my teeth into your fragile skin
There still isn't anything better than this
Forget my name
If you don't like who I've become
I tried to bury it all
Inside my heart of stone
I tried to bury you
Inside my heart of stone
You got no soul
Heart of stone
I tried to bury you

Anger Dulls The Blade
04:03
|
|

Are you sure that you want a war
Are you sure you can handle the storm?
As the sand flies skyward
Your world is transformed
Winds will rage and fire will scorch
This land you claimed in the name of your Lord
You disrespectful witch
A broken spell is a curse I can't forgive
The line has been drawn
Transmuting your blood into echoes of what's been
Dying
All for the fighting
No use in trying
To silence the crying
Your last breath defying
My every implying
Sense I am outlying
This noose I am tying
Will burden us all
Are you sure that you want a war?
This is war, a chance to even the odds
Lay your weapons on the ground
Before we raise the alarm
Shield wall, watch as warriors fall
Into rivers run red from the guts of animals
Anger dulls the blade
Your existence will be refused
You'll be stamped out and life removed
Your existence will be refused
You'll be stamped out, a hollow figure of delude
Stamp it out
So that the planets will align
At your resting place
I need a reason to hate
Caught in an illusion that I've sworn to desecrate
Coward, you've turned your back
On the single shred of hope
That would have left your arms intact
Let the death toll grow higher
Are you sure you want a war?
Let the death toll grow higher
Are you sure you want this?

Holocene Epoch

Turn the page let’s start another chapter of this new age
I've got a feeling we'll be done before the dawn breaks
Have you heard the news it's all doom and gloom
We've been miss-sold the most basic of truths
Acceptance of death is imperative
Reject all notions of eternity
If you can't see that God is dead
What makes you think we could share heaven?
When we can't share this earth?
An eye for an eye is what they told us,
But they're the ones with both eyes on ya
All the hunger in this world and all the pain
Are we the victims here?
Or have we fucked our natural resources to the point of no return?
It's time to cull the herd!
It makes me sick
Frenzied concubines procreating in feculence
Have you heard the news it's all doom and gloom
We've been miss-sold the most basic of truths
Your god is dead and
They've been buried in the back of a widow’s festered womb

Error Incarnate
05:25
|
|
||
Engorged, engrossed and bloated in form
The modern human's fall into disrepair
These machines can keep us breathing
For as long as our hearts are beating
Swoon, stillborn society
Behold the discontent that echo’s in these walls
A torture chamber filled with violence, I stand in awe
Before a demon in digital form
Lifeless and drawn to the swarm
Feeding our egos with thoughts of grandeur and eternal pleasure
Error incarnate
Swoon, stillborn society
Starving in our own virtual reality
Encaged within an artificial depravity
Oh
Flesh impaired beyond hopes of a price
To keep our senses under the knife
Untangle the cord that's been keeping us all tied to the mother board
Error incarnate
I’ve lost the will
To go on
In this world
Sway
Unwavering tormemt
Incarcerate
Error incarnate
I'm so glad to see what you've become
Grotesque in stature, with a face so numb
False phantoms avert our gaze
From the crimes that come out to play
As we enter a world of distraction
A torture chamber filled with violence, I stand in awe
Before a demon in digital form
Lifeless and drawn to the swarm
Untangle the cord that's been keeping us all tied to the mother board
Error incarnate
I've lost the will
To go on
In this world
