Young hearts buried in falling sand
Heavy hangs the head
As this road stretches our spirits thin
with engine lungs forever failing
Out running poverty with you
Out running loneliness with you
May death find us well
May it's locust breath caress your cheek like old lovers do
How the absence of grace has stolen my youth
Drained you dry in the rip tide of crashing cars
A scar for every heart
No shelter from the rising sea
No savior for the children of slum city
Think of me as the wreckage
And our great nostalgia, the roaring ambulance
Outrunning forever

Grasping for withered hope
To this poison love we all cling
False mercy
Death in bloom
Opportunistic vultures
Bones of workers picked clean
Torch wielders
Street sweepers
War promise
Burning down the night
I will hold you with molten arms
Look upon you with eyes of matted tar
You tremble with fear at your creation
It's shadow spills over like an army of starving kids in the trench
I will give them weapons
I will send them against you

The street fire burns through the night
The sunrise slaughters
Another martyr sent toward the light
They slowly suffer
Hammers upon a canvas of sand
Where the snow pierced sky meets the melancholy of the vast wasteland
Farther than any tearless eye could see
How the turbines seem to only dance for me and my dreams
Sick of the hell and heartache
Throbbing dull within
Their Heads upon the butcher's block
Hatred chasm of low born stock
As the cruel sun beats down
Another fucking child will drown
How The third world pays for my sins
They will dream
And they will sing of some day coming
While toiling waste deep
Throw your bombs
Justice send forth the storm
Rise against the first world

I rise as berserker
By darkness radicalized
By loss made wild and blood drunk
To tear down democracy with a brickbat
To slit the throat of the plutocrat
Society is fucked and no one's got the fix
Snuff you out for just one more hit
Lost within the paradigm
Day to day asinine
One fuck up away from ruin
The only way out: this gun in my mouth
Fuck cynicism
Fuck nihilism
Searching for heaven in the books I read
Disease of greed, weigh my love down no more
The path before you made clear and bright
By acts of iron will and iron fist

These days are fucking fury
Burning desperation laid writhing on the slab
Our souls ablaze in sonic monument
In hatred of this failed nation
Clinging to withered branches
You worship crowned skulls
Crushing those that built your world
The most vulnerable exiled to thirst
Weeping infants screaming for mother's milk long soured
It was rage that gave my sorrow wings
Clenching teeth and blood shot eyes
Who are you
Who am I
You're the rat that I despise
I'm a crazy motherfucker and I'm ready to die
Bleeding streets and burning skies
Down the blade through the night
Leave the bastards where they lie
Coming for you motherfucker, hope you're ready to fry
Ready to die
Every new era is painted with fire
Every Phoenix born in ash

I can see right through you
Your weakness is a weapon
Weep for me
Wail for me
Honor me, imperial slave
Burnt black eagles prey in the night
Sleep with me in the canebrake
Your pain will rage
Wash my feet in your sacred river
I'll take you with me
Enemy of my homeland
The perfect vermin
Dominate you with my faith
You belong in the dirt
They carry the cross
They won't waste time in the reaping
Your face turned red with blood
Slipping, crawling
Beneath their boots, your grave
They spin their influence with venom and roses
Still can't decipher all the lies that they told us
Here in the valley where we worship the rich
They play with power as we walk with our caskets
No absolution
No saving my soul
Jesus can't see us with eyes made of gold
Here this, tank reaper
Child killer, I will never bend my knee again
There's no forgiving
Bite the hand that feeds
Come give it to me now
The empire must bleed

I see you, specter
Ghost in the corner
You haunt me like old tombs
Like unread tomes of the western world
Behold another war zone, another genocide
Their blood nurtures the root of the devil's vine
Pierced through their martyr's ribs
Through burning trenches of shit
My black rose grows across the bayonet
These are the hands that bear the hive
The burden of knowing

Upon ancient steps
Where civilization once ascended and took it's final breath
I felt my soul decay
Crumbling like the elder vines spreading razors through poisoned veins
Another bearer of the mark of Kane
bones grow weak and muscles ache
I watched my reflection become grey and turn to ash upon the staircase
A Blink in the abyss of time
Dragging agony through epochs
That colossal wreck buried far way
Our grand ego decayed beneath the burning waves
But it was our life
The world we couldn't save
Parthenon crumbles as desert takes the sea
Withered Reichstag, barren and bleak
The seed grows as the void swallows whole
Thorn Palace, the fallen have sowed
I saw where their hearts were fed and where I would soon join them
The cold smashed faces that mocked them staring lifeless at leveled sand
Thorn Palace

The jewel of the devil's crown
Who's throne rests in the pine barren of hell's hanging garden
Gazing up at Appalachia
Sliding like a diamond back down the Gulf of Mexico
I stripped my skin in New Orleans
Waist deep in the insane
Puking up death as the southern wind howls
And when the whiskey and the drugs run out I gotta carry that weight back home
Child of nowhere
Born with nothing
Behind I hear the iron bars banging
You won't resurrect those slavery chains
We'll fucking stop you
Just let the old world rot with them goddamn grays
My fucking Dixie
Never gonna change
Until I curse my name
Tear down every statue
New south gonna rise
Class conscious
With the demon in their eyes
Gonna take you down
Breath life
Another fucking fight tonight
My fucking Dixie
Sliding like a diamond back down...

My lover is straight razor
The only one that calls in the darkness
I love her
Sweet hell raiser
Nothing else can stand in the tidal wave
Heavy days of lead rain fall down like missiles on The West Bank
Can you feel your heart sink
Another dead kid 'cross the LCD
They drag the bottom again
It could be yours floating face down
They drag the bottom again
It could be yours feeding infinite war
My lover is straight razor
The only one that crawls through my conscience
I want her
Call her my hell raiser
Who will stand against the morning when the stars of God fall
...And they fall forever
Drag you down to my level

You and I hand in hand in the mushroom cloud
Breath deep this venom atomic
Close your eyes and remember our love as it once was
Our dreams of a yard and a home filled with art
One last kiss as the sudden rush hits you
Fear not, dear
Its just my spirit passing through
Our teardrops sear across blackened skulls like shooting stars
Our embrace evaporates and falls away like shattered glass

Death to the game
Down til the grave
No fucking slave
Bathe in the flame of the furious movement
I tried but I can't thrive in their neo liberal hell
Cant you hear the snap of worn bones echo through the bowels of the capital
Remember what you owe
Your blood
Your labor
Your life
To your god
Your nation
Tear down these halls that cretins clad in blood stained gowns built from stolen labor of calloused hands
Reap what you sow
Sink like a stone
Men who shield their eyes and ears and clench their fists at those that behold not in awe but in criticism of the cracks in the holy throne
Reap what you sow
Sink like a fucking stone
1234...
Utopia shall fall
Like the pedophiles of Rome
Weight of your murder comes crashing, fucker
Dragged through hell
I'll dress her wounds
She lies by the dying light on the western shore
Killers gather in her shadow
Reap what you sow
Sink like a stone

She dreams
As she waits for me
This road is too buried to pass
Solemnly, the specter drifts through walls into my room
Taken by sorrow's grip
My soul burns as I bark at the moon
She dreams
As she waits for me...

In my dreams the empire falls under a napalm shadow
The carrion call of nuclear winter rings in my eager ears
Ash like snow stains heaven's tarnished gates
Above the entrance of a smoldering kingdom
My love raised as high as God nailed upon the cross
On mighty blood wings
Her crown adorned with the heads of priests, aristocrats, and oligarchs
Failed sons of lacerated sky
Incestuous rulers of ruin
Our great utopia of putrid democracy
We rage at it's true face and smile as it's death rattle shakes the earth
Mighty colossus of eternal wreckage stretched a thousand miles into the boiling sea
And then I wake
Eyes forced to look upon reality
My heart is filled with fear
Meth town
Where I live there's no chance
No future for these fucking kids
No hope
Only pills
Check by check
Day by day to the fucking grave
The air is thick
Can't catch my breath
The heat dancing like devils on the pavement
I'm sorry, mama
I swear I'll save you yet
Nine to five
Blood and sweat
Nothing left
I long for her to crawl down from the cross
Rest my weary head upon her chest
Somewhere inside I must be loved
Take me in your arms
Turn my flesh to Steele
My mind to super nova
My heart to stone
Eyes forever fixed toward your light
Saint of revolution and revenge
Angel of assassination
