Toxic Holocaust - Primal Future: 2019 lyrics



Tracks



01. Chemical Warlords

It hits like a storm in the base of my spine
Cerebral mutations
Ascension achieved with atomic machines
Seeking injustice

You build it up, we'll tear it down
Our mission is clear
You build it up, we'll tear it down
Setting the pace, we're hellbent to devastate

Armed and ready, we're lusting to kill
Level the city, just for the thrill
We are the plague that you've been warned about
Mass hysteria, we will find you out

Like chemical warlords
Like chemical warlords

Bombing our way through the bounds they have set
Like splitting an atom
Watch it all wash away
Hallucinating the perfect future

You build it up, we'll tear it down
Our mission is clear
You build it up, we'll tear it down
Setting the pace, we're hellbent to devastate

Armed and ready, we're lusting to kill
Level the city, just for the thrill
We are the plague that you've been warned about
Mass hysteria

We are breaking out free from our cage
As the thought lives on in our minds
Relive the pain, the pain of rebirth
Release the shackles

Feel the heat as it rushes right through
Like a force from out of the sky
One taste is all it will take
Just one, to open your mind

Refueled and ready, we're suited to kill
To take back our freedom
You know what this is, demand and supply
Microdosing the poison

You build it up, we'll tear it down
Our mission is clear
(You build it up) You build it up, we'll tear it down
I'm telling you all, "It's my world and my rules"

Armed and ready, we're lusting to kill
Level the city, just for the thrill
We are the plague that you've been warned about
Mass hysteria, we will find you out

02. Black Out The Code

Brainwaves are flowing, computing the world
Adding, subtracting our lives
Artificial emotion, learning to teach
A code created to sense

Fusing together, welding the two
The system running complete
Overloading a circuit with human touch
Man and machine are now one

Passing the signal, the circuits take all that they can
Gave up on life to live in the wires instead
Manufactured addiction injected thru technology
Regression, progression, doesn't make any difference to me

Black out the code
Circuit seduction, turning the whole world
Black out the code
Binary persuasion, erotic fixation

Mainframe malfunction, the virus has spread
Erasing the code of our lives
A digital tyrant complex and unique
Charged and ready to use

Imbedded, implanted so deep in the wire
Progression, a form of defeat
Serving the server, gave up our free will
A code created to feel

Passing the signal, the circuits take all that they can
Gave up on life to live in the wires instead
Manufactured addiction injected thru technology
Regression, progression, doesn't make any difference to me

Black out the code
Black out the code
Eradicate!

Passing the signal, the circuits take all that they can
Gave up on life to live in the wires instead
Manufactured addiction injected thru technology
Regression, progression, doesn't make any difference to me

Black out the code
Circuit seduction, turning the whole world
Black out the code
Binary persuasion, erotic fixation

03. New World Beyond

Navigate on through the fallout, on a search for life
Danger follows in the daytime, we move at night
Depleted fuel, on the hunt, gonna walk alone
Take heed of what's around you 'cause you're never alone

Watch every step you take, it could be your last
Fear what's on the hunt, this night only some will live
Be aware, they come when you least expect it
Be aware of every step you take on through

Infiltrate, cross the wall, there is no other way
Attack before they strike us, live another day
One wins, we all lose, the game is at its end
Left with the desperate ruins, this is now the end

Watch every step you take, it could be your last
Fear what's on the hunt, this night only some will live
Be aware, they come when you least expect it
Be aware of every step you take on through
It could be your last

Navigate on through the fallout, on a search for life
Danger follows in the daytime, we move at night
Depleted fuel, on the hunt, gonna walk alone
Take heed of what's around you 'cause you're never alone

Watch every step you take, it could be your last
Fear what's on the hunt, this night only some will live
Be aware, they come when you least expect it
Be aware of every step you take on through

04. Deafened By The Roar

Powers rise, destroy, defeat
Murder orders, liars, deceit
Deafened by the roar of exploding shells

Time lost, wasted life
Never surrender, struggle, survive
Deafened by the roar of exploding shells

Like a headless snake you're shaking with fear
And the winds of death are growing near
Death awaits us all
Death awaits us all
Death awaits us all
Death awaits us all

Powers rise, destroy, defeat
Murder orders, liars, deceit

05. Time's Edge

You hear a scream from the shadows
When you're running the night
Just like a false invitation
You succumb to its might

Terror increasing
You feel it grow near
There's only one way to beat it
There's only one way to get out of here

You are the one chosen in this facade
You are the pawn destined to play their game

Armed to the teeth, fire at will
Suited for battle, we're ready to kill

Walking the fine line
Of your despair
Walking a thin line
Pushing out to the edge, the edge of time

You were put here to save them
They made you fully aware
Of the implications
Just another cross to bear

It's not what you wanted
But it's what you need
Destined to fight them
It's time to make all of them bleed

You are the one chosen in this facade
You are the pawn destined to play their game

Armed to the teeth, fire at will
Suited for battle, we're ready to kill

Walking the fine line
Of your despair
Walking a thin line
Pushing out to the edge, the edge of time

You hear a scream from the shadows
When you're running the night
Just like a false invitation
You succumb to its might

Terror increasing
You feel it grow near
There's only one way to beat it
There's only one way to get out of here

You are the one chosen in this facade
You are the pawn destined to play their game

Heart rate picks up, danger it grows
When they will strike, nobody knows

Walking the fine line
Of your despair
Walking a thin line
Pushing out to the edge, the edge of time

06. Primal Future

First we tear down religion
Then we break your blind faith
Lucid of your pointless existence
Disgusted by the human race

The sky is turning black, you better beware
Your lungs expand with the poisonous air
On your knees you beg for death to take you quick

Bio-war brings the message
The statement spoken loud and clear
Seeking hope in your religion
But tell me, where are they now?

Bombs unleashed, bringing end to all life
Fire tearing like a cut from a knife
On your knees you beg for death to take you quick
On your knees you pray to God to help you now

Rotten city burns
Toxic waste of space
Simple pleasures fade away
Primal future the only way

Primal future
Primal future
Primal future
Primal future

07. Iron Cage

Time has come, pay the price
Face the rage
Time to rise 'cause it's time to fight
In the cage

Total massacre, total destruction
It hits you like a shot, a lethal injection
There's no backing down this invitation
Hotter than iron, colder than steel

Armed to kill, build strength through will
Orders fulfilled inside the iron cage
Armed to kill, build strength through will
Blood must be spilled to break out the iron cage

Enter here, arm yourself
Face the rage
Two will rise, one will survive
In the cage

Total massacre, total destruction
It hits you like a shot, a lethal injection
There's no backing down this invitation
Hotter than iron, colder than steel

Armed to kill, build strength through will
Orders fulfilled inside the iron cage
Armed to kill, build strength through will
Blood must be spilled to break out the iron cage

It's a total massacre, total destruction
It hits you like a shot, a lethal injection
There's no backing down this invitation
Hotter than iron, colder than steel

Armed to kill, build strength through will
Orders fulfilled inside the iron cage
Armed to kill, build strength through will
Blood must be spilled to break out the iron cage

Liars, dealers, deceivers
Liars, cheaters, depleters
Break free the iron fucking cage!

08. Controlled By Fear

Unplug from the perfect world, and take a look to see what I see
Wholesale destruction of your false reality
We are all living a lie but the truth can't set you free
You gotta open your eyes up now and face our reality

Oppressed by leaders
Oppressed by fear
Led by religious dogma that controls by fear

Without the weight of negative thought, we can all stand up again
Blind faith keeps us down, it keeps us weak, it's insanity
In the den of the waiting beast, we march to rise again
We are all connected as one, united reality

Oppressed by leaders
Oppressed by fear
Led by religious dogma that controls by fear

09. Aftermath

Extinction of mankind in this barren waste
Debris still smoldering, the lands been erased
Armies of soldiers that fought 'till their death
Fooled into believing what their government said
Packed up, shipped out, and led off to war
Ordered to kill to settle a score
Who's left to blame when everyone's dead?
There's no wrong or right 'cause this is the end

Nuclear, chemical, bio attack
Weapons too powerful for humans to grasp
Kill at whim, die in a flash
Armies of millions gone in a blast

Life turns to Hell, kiss it goodbye
Life's not worth living, it's better to die
Tanks on the battlefield frozen in place
Destroy it all, don't leave a trace

Extinction of mankind in this barren waste
Debris still smoldering, the lands been erased
Armies of soldiers that fought 'till their death
Fooled into believing what their government said
Packed up, shipped out, and led off to war
Ordered to kill to settle a score
Who's left to blame when everyone's dead?
There's no wrong or right 'cause this is the end

10. Cybernetic War

We lost before the start, things are getting out of hand
Delete the code while you even have the chance
A coming sign of what's in store, a future look into the past
Doomed when the memory can't forget

It's the fate of the world that we gave up
Now it's time for the plan to take its toll

World War III has just begun through our network ties
You really never should have let them take control
The power grid is the new front line in a nuclear age
This cybernetic war is pushing on and on

It's the fate of the world that we gave up
Now it's time for the plan to take its toll

It's been coming for some time, a thermonuclear age
In a cybernetic war, they are the masters, we are the slaves
It's been coming for some time, a thermonuclear age
In a cybernetic war, we gonna obey

Launch commands and mega-volts from a crystalline brain
No use for mankind in this world
Software that writes itself, no more need for your love
Obsolete by the form of 1's and 0's

It's the fate of the world that we gave up
Now it's time for the plan to take its toll

It's been coming for some time, a thermonuclear age
In a cybernetic war, they are the masters, we are the slaves
It's been coming for some time, a thermonuclear age
In a cybernetic war, time to pay
