Tracks



01. The Doctrine

A Gatling gospel, a pulpit full of lead
The pews have marching orders,
Spill blood onto the bread
Satisfy their bloodlust,
With tithes and offerings,
Sold to the flagrant bias being spread
Obey the sacrament,
A divine catalyst
Obey

Dark twisted corners illuminated
Questioned by what you uncover
Crusading creed of revelation,
Flogging souls with dogma
Obey the sacrament,
A divine catalyst,
Humanity forgotten,
Blind faith for the doctrine

Scourge the earth to pillars of salt
Indignant answers for who's at fault
Self-serving prophets,
Chomp at the bit
Vilified eyes,
Till you submit

Obey the sacrament,
A divine catalyst
Humanity forgotten,
Blind faith for the doctrine
Kill your kin,
Freed from sin,
The doctrine

02. UXO

The pilot blind by design
Scattered munitions,
No target,
No problem,
UXO

The enemy unseen,
A poor excuse just like it's always been
Languid execution,
Costing generations
Cogs in the wheel,
Cogs in the machine

Never to wake,
A stygian dream
The enemy unseen,
A poor excuse just like it's always been
Languid execution,
Costing generations

UXO,
Contaminate
UXO,
Lie in wait
Praying,
Haunting,
Whispers

Ready to explode
No safety in sight
The kind of fear that keeps you up at night
It's always there,
Under your bed,
Until the scars are burned inside your head
A stray moment means a missing limb;
Put back together with plates and pins
Cluster bomb payloads irrigate the soil
Fear becomes the vulture,
Eradicate the culture

03. Beneath Me

Opposites attract harmony,
Abundance and lack,
Virtue and vice
Alone you stand as God's equal
Together you're nothing

Leave them isolated in chains against the world,
A psychological prison
Slave will you remain at odds against yourself?
Depraved,
You've set yourself against the fates
Left in isolation,
A psycho prison
No one binds you to demise,
Only your mind

A slave to misery,
Denying yourself the chance
No one binds you to demise,
Only your mind
Break from misery,
Blind to collapse
God's beneath me

04. Malignance

Split nerves rot mind,
Blood under your fingernails,
Tearing out your entrails
Bleed out,
No warning sign,
Pain endured at all times,
While your head spins sick

Smell the bodies,
Left to rot
The desolation that was wrought
Ignore the pain that you inflict
Malignance

Worn thin,
Hell bent to win,
Years spent wasting away watching your loved ones die
Cry out and no one hears all your life's worst fears,
As the smoke clears thick

Smell the bodies,
Left to rot
The desolation that was wrought
Ignore the pain that you inflict
Malignance,
Cowardice drowns in piss at the site of aversion

Get a grip with a fist,
Accept the delusion
Wounds grow,
Hate flows,
Never learn from the past
The cycle continues,
It's all that's left in you

Sanctimony,
Ceremony,
Clouds of ash rise
You'll burn and gnaw who stand apart
An open maw to eat the heart
Of those whose pain you've inflicted
Malignance

05. Kill Grid

Awake to a new stage,
Life displayed by a rogue state
Misbehave through a child's eyes,
With the yearning thrown to the wayside

Implanted,
Disenchanted,
A new path unfolds
Reprimanded,
Supplanted,
Riot rhythms of a world take hold

Opposition,
Depopulation
Chewed up by the kill grid

It's in their soul,
Wanton control,
Until you're faced with a six-foot hole
You can bury yourself,
Or you can give them hell
Fight back,
Attack
Stand against your enemy
Improvised weaponry
Social justice by lethal means

Opposition,
Depopulation
Chewed up by the kill grid

Contradiction,
Misinformation
Spit out by the kill grid

Overtaken,
Displaced,
Despair makes your body ache for something to cling to,
By attributing a meaning to anything

Erased,
No escape,
Erased,
No escape
Kill grid

06. Curtain Fire

Under constant barrage,
Atrocities unfurl
Cover taken in the camouflage,
Volcanic mirage
A cratered lunar landscape,
Bombed to glass as armies pass
Executed with a bloody handshake,
More hardware for the brass

Curtain fire,
Anguish
Curtain fire,
Eulogy vanquished
Curtain fire,
Live for the conquest and the profits of war

Troubled self sabotage,
Devotions divide
Your death in a montage,
Folded flags in a garage
A patchwork of scars sewn by the pushers
Terrorized by a bloody handshake,
More hardware for the brass

Curtain fire,
Anguish
Curtain fire,
Eulogy vanquished,
Curtain fire,
Live for the conquest,
Denied a break from war

Dig through the carnage,
Exposed bone and organ sewage
Maybe then you'll get the message as you're buried with the bullets
Paved into paradise

07. Hemorrhage

No one will be there when your skull smacks the concrete
No one will hear you when your blood drops the beat
A total failure,
A life incomplete
The conscience,
The traitor,
Tastes bittersweet

Dragging our tired boots through the trench of a righteous path
Accepting the recess of reason,
Exiled at last
This world runs on hate and fear is buying
What if I can't relate,
Is my life a lie then?
Foresight blinded from the venom you spit
A toxic vial of denial because you won't admit it
Self-sustained hemorrhage

The senseless hivemind of vindication scatters the truth,
Fact becomes fantasy
Extinction bangs at the door,
No one knows what for
Extinction.

The senseless hivemind of self preservation scatters the truth,
Fact becomes fantasy
Extinction bangs at the door,
No one knows what for

No one will be there when your skull smacks the concrete
No one will hear you when the blood drops the beat
A total failure,
A life incomplete
The conscience,
The traitor,
Bittersweet
Hemorrhage

08. Blood Ribbon

Ran for our lives
Futility in wishful thinking
Blood ribbons trailing hellhounds' marked scent
Survive the nightmare
Hide from the persistent hunt
Blood ribbons trailing,
Stains on cement

Caught unaware
Stay alive
Shrapnel bursts,
Wondering what will kill you first
Panicked insane,
Terminal moraine
Blood ribbons falling,
Casualties crawling,
Blood spilling from the drained,
Wove trails lead to the veined

Bodies piling,
Napalm streams
Charred remains,
Frontline graves,
Artillery screams through cratered buildings

Blood ribbons falling,
Casualties crawling,
Blood spilling from the drained,
Wove trails lead to the veined

You can't escape silk-woven fate
Blood ribbon
You can't cheat death while it steps on your neck
Blood ribbon

09. Trespasser

Barbarous age,
Wretched matter,
A vexed hatred restrained to express with simplistic angst,
Constrained by the bondage of language

Trespasser,
As guile perverts
Trespasser,
Stood firm yet free to fall

No longer to bask in ambrosias,
My carcass will glut the grave
The chains unbroken,
I am alone in victory

Trespasser,
As guile perverts
Trespasser,
Stood firm yet free to fall

No wall between,
No power against,
No strength of soul,
The will of self
No half restrained,
No coward condoned,
The weak ate whole,
Forfeit yourself

Every man strains to draw their breath
Calamity ends with macro death
Torn away from selfish ambition,
Led astray by mob mentality
Heralding the ignorance,
Choking on belligerence

Every man strains to draw their breath
Calamity ends with macro death
Idols of God will crumble
The graven image must break
Amaranth will rot as man springs forth
Festered confusion will decay

I am not a vessel for pity,
Bury my head in the bricks of this city,
Every man strains to draw their breath
Calamity ends in macro death
Idols of God will crumble
The graven image must break
Trespasser

Hatred will dominate divine intervention
Morbid reign to follow the trespasser
