01. Back From Beyond

[Instrumental]

02. Left For Dead

Your screams pierce like lightning
The sound is inviting
The darkness now creeping
You're praying you're weeping
Your wounds profusely bleeding
Your flesh is decomposing
Your fingers clutch for nothing
Your heart will stop all pumping

The stench has grown pungent
Like vultures worms sucking
Stiff flesh grows more rigid
You're dead now you're hell sent
You're left for dead and dying
Your face is decomposing
All life has left your body
You lay in darkness rotting

The dead walk in silence
The haunting so violent
Attacking the conscience
You're guilty pay penance
I will avenge my death you will feel shame
Seep into your head, you'll go insane
Live your life in sin and die in pain
I'll desecrate your grave

The dead walk in silence
Confessing the violence
Your fingers they're clutching
Your heart will stop all pumping

The haunting is the darkness inside
The haunting is ripping through your mind
The haunting is eating your brain
The haunting is the devil inside
The haunting is telling you to die
We've desecrated your grave

03. Roadkill

Sweat and gore
At the core
Cradling your brain
You fight your will to flee
Miles to crawl
Wandering

Forward motion
Racing towards your misery

Roadkill
Sucking your veins bone dry
Roadkill
Meeting your face

Blackened land
Fingers fly
Blades keep chopping
Inch by inch the flesh is freed
Metal gear
Spinning shaft
Boring deep inside of this reality
Traveling
In this dream
Facing all the fears
That I could never see
Miles of road
Endless sea
Swim5

Eating your face

04. Hangin' In The Hood

Hood is what I am inside
It fed my soul then shaped my mind
I wear it on my face symbolically
You know the rules
Don't cross the boundary

Nightmare closing in
I bought a plot within the
Anti-Life community

Hood is what I am inside
Hangin in the hood
It fed my soul then shaped my mind

Death's breath it's in the wind
The stench is rapture and it's coming
With minority
And it's hunting you down

Fight, die
Nothing is more noble than to kill a man
For where he stands
Colors that you're wearing are a reason
For my brothers to get high
Brothers are all pilots watch them fly

Got you in their sights
They'll shoot you down
Dogfight in the alley love the sound
Blood and blue means red and red is dead
Dead and blue a bullet in the head
Marked for life and damned by racist pigs
Everyone pays heed to Mister Big

Everybody wants to be
Everybody needs to be

Hellbent with true insanity
Our attitude depicts our hatred
For humanity
Bloodbent it's plain to see
The street wise soldiers wear
Their colors uniformly
And they're hunting you down

05. Dominant Submission

Pick apart my brain with legislation
Please refrain from your persuasion
Tricks are what you play no confrontation
I'm at bay in your submission

Trapped within your realm
Your kingdom is my hell
Live within your vision

Trapped inside my mind no absolution
I must bind to these conditions
Feel no strength to fight
I stand in reverence
In my plight I am confusion

Chain and shackle whip and beat
Bound in blood tied up in meat
Meet the might with begs and pleas
Indulging in my misery
Tie me up and put me down
Light me up and stomp me out
Feed me to the fucking snakes

Suffer through your mental siege
No antidote you've poisoned me
Left to wonder aimlessly
Tie me up and put me down
Light me up and stomp me out
Feed me to the fucking snakes

06. Face The Fight

There shall be no dismissal
Stand now let anger blossom
Give way to primal madness
Let darkness guide your conscience

You shall now fall my victim
Your flesh I shall rip open
I'll feed on fears and anguish
Your life will be extinguished

Screams fly as fists are pounding
Machine of violence churning
This fight is now completed
Say uncle or die

07. Will Work For Food

Out on the streets I got nothing
To call my own
No where to sleep
I got no shoes on my feet so alone
Found me an alley where I babble
Away my nights
A shopping cart that I push when
I'm seeing the sights

Big time no time for me
The social life was only a mystery
Good life no time for me
But that's all right I will work for food

I fight a war on the streets every
Day of my life
Picking trash eating garbage to
Keep me alive
People stare like I'm some kind of
Freak on the loose
I've gone insane but insane is the
Way that I choose

08. Cold Fire

Cold fire the icy heat
Cold fire it's burning me
Cold chilling flame in my veins
Feel the fever shoot to my brain

Cold fire
Shooting through my veins
Cold fire
Frozen by the blaze

Cold heat a freezing blaze
Hot chills rising flames
You take a journey through my hell
I'll be the hammer you'll be my nail

Cold fire
Shooting through my veins
Cold fire
Slave to the flames
Cold fire
Freeze inside the pain
Cold fire
Frozen by the blaze

Cold fire devour me
Cold fire still burning free
Take a journey through my hell
I'll be the hammer you'll be my nail

09. Dazed And Confused

Been Dazed and Confused for so long it's not true.
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
soul of a woman was created below.

Every day I work so hard, bringin' home my hard earned pay
Try to love you woman, but you push me away.
Sweet little lady, I don't know where you've been.
Gonna love you woman, here I come again.

It's the way you walk, it's the way you talk
Its your evil grin it's driving me insane

Been Dazed and Confused for so long it's not true.
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
soul of a woman was created below.

It's the way you walk, it's the way you talk
Its your evil grin it's driving me insane

10. Finger First

Take a number when you
link yourself into the chain
There's a whip awaiting you
Bring your finger it's the key
To unlock all your fears
There's a hole awaiting you
Don't be frightened by the blackness
That you're bound to find
There's always been a bottom to the pit
Take a sample test it out
You must investigate because
You never know what you might get

I ain't no fool I know it hurts
But you must endure it my finger first
I know that this must be the worst
I hate to tell you
You must engage my finger first

There's a magic to the blackness
That eludes your brain
No explanation can be found
A driving madness
that will never ever let you be

Keeps on hunting you down
The body is a burning, itching instrument
Of all imagination and of dreams
A deadly game that all who play
Must roll the dice of life
And wonder if the end is now for me

Hot glistening darkness spreads its wings
Viral madness breeds, claiming victory

Deep sorrow for the finger
That disintegrates
But a vital lesson learned
Hard days ahead for all who jump
Into the pit
The pit where all who jump are burned

11. It Can Happen

Something wicked whispers in your mind
Cold with fear you're reeling
From the fright
Blackened figures lead you to the tomb
Apparition exit from the womb

Inside you see me
I see you inside of me

Frozen voices beckon from a
bottomless pit
Icy fingers clutching closing in

Twisted tortured creatures
Gods unholy preachers

See and feel the pain through
The eyes of the blind
Live and breath your fate forever
Frozen n time

Scratch and pick your soul away
Tomorrow's lost in yesterday
There is no wrong there is no right
There is no dark there is no light
It can happen
