Simple Aggression - Formulations In Black lyrics



Tracks



01. Quiddity

Wonder what his soul's become, he's just a man who needs to learn
Trapped within the need to work and live, and abide by all that's higher

Expressive, Impressive
Speak and give, Die or Live

Pass his hand before his tired eyes, how could it come to this
Drop his shovel to the ground, feels the weight of the chains around his neck

Expressive, Impressive
Speak and give, Die or Live

How are they to know, the thing he has become
He must prove himself in the trial of youth regained
By demons he must be driven

Expressive, Impressive
Speak and give, Die or Live

02. Formulations In Black

Oblivion in the world resides, evil belongs on the soul's inside
A sacrifice bathes the open prayer, listen carefully to this soothsayer
Casualties of some demonic war, a replica of what was before
A baby born of flesh and bone, destined to reign on the black throne

Proverbs, saying, anthologies
Fables, morals, biographies
Poems, writings and inventions
Are the children of black formulations

Shadows on the lake of fire, burning brightly like a funeral pyre
Souls inside belong to the condemned, they sing aloud a farewell hymn
A recipe for killing born, my knife, your side houses the thorn
The signing of a contract, written in blood, red on white and black

Proverbs, saying, anthologies
Fables, morals, biographies
Poems, writings and inventions
Are the children of black formulations

Pirate of death on a sea of madness, plundering the world it's by your habit
Driving force is by a ship of dead, on fires of hell your soul is fed
Conquer the world conceive a new faith, raise a flag, raise it for hate
Confrontation for us is divine, at the edge of Ends black intertwine

Proverbs, saying, anthologies
Fables, morals, biographies
Poems, writings and inventions
Are the children of black formulations

03. Lost

Every day I look at myself, the mirror reflects me back
I sit and think what I must do, where am I to go
Confounded blind as a bat, why can't I see a thing
Everything pounding in my head, I'm gonna blow a load

You're staring far and wide
But can't make sense of a thing
You're wandering in a trance
Can't you see stupid fool you're lost

Where are you going, you won't return, from where did you begin
Can't even travel in a circle, you gone worse than before
Where in this world am I, I'm a stranger in a space
Wandering aimlessly thru time and place, lost forever and ever

You're staring far and wide
But can't make sense of a thing
You're wandering in a trance
Can't you see stupid fool you're lost

Searching for some signs, to give me some direction
But you can't even find a trace, always will be lost and dumb
Looking here, looking there, looking everywhere
Looking for answers deep in the sky
But answers to questions will never be
Answered until the day I die
Where footsteps have trudged nothing found
Except umpteen piles of doodoo brown
Just searching, searching, searching, searching?for a key

Am I coming or am I going, a child alone in this world
Thru many doors and many rooms, but the all just lead to another
A staircase that never ends, flowing on like forgotten rivers
An unknown trip never to be fulfilled
Oh please oh please oh please oh please let me find me Now

04. Psychoradius

Everybody's got one, a psychoradius
That reaches out, and touches all of us
The inner mind, affecting rate
Deciding change, of stable things

Please don't mind - My blender of emotions
Please don't mind - My up and my down
Please don't mind - And inconsistencies
Please don't mind-I'm human

I met a man, who said he was insane
He said he'd never ever, ever been afraid
You could tell by his ways, and the feel of his mind
The look in his eyes, he had everything to hide

Please don't mind - My blender of emotions
Please don't mind - My up and my down
Please don't mind - And inconsistencies
Please don't mind-I'm human

Some they touch you more, with psychoradius
Some are just too bold, but most are mad
Enter their worlds, at their command
Bog down on your consciousness, with emothional bags of sand

05. Sea Of Eternity

Drifting my mind was blank, flowing upon this sea dread
Dreams of the lost, float inside my head
Victims of hate and fear, death grows closer I can hear
Listen to the wind's last cry, ensuing all of us to die

Gaze into the depths and see
Life's harsh reality
Float upon life's last reply
See your fate within my eye
Lost beneath the darkened waves
You've become its dying slave
Death has been calling for me
On the sea of eternity

Life has come to full strive, as I await for the reaper to arrive
Clown is where I must go, sinking down so far below
Destined all my life, to be the sea's sacrifice
What, what is this that I see, but hell's reflection in me

Gaze into the depths and see
Life's harsh reality
Float upon life's last reply
See your fate within my eye
Lost beneath the darkened waves
You've become its dying slave
Death has been calling for me
On the sea of eternity

Experience a burial at sea, it calls me down unto its depths
Far below the surface, I'm destined to rest

06. Of Winter

I'm alone, here on this plateau
As my mind drifts so far away
Storm clouds, bringing forth the rain
But it can't wash away the pain

All I want is to succeed
But it remains one step from reach
Will I ever reach my goal
For which I'd sell my soul
Life fades gray to black
Nothing seems to stay intact
Broken words are all I scream
Finding hope only in dreams

Head in hands, fears begin to flow
Emotions turn a deeper shade of blue
I'm only a man, made of flesh and bone
My beliefs in dreams will help me to make it through

All I want is to succeed
But it remains one step from reach
Will I ever reach my goal
For which I'd sell my soul
Life fades gray to black
Nothing seems to stay intact
Broken words are all I scream
Finding hope only in dreams

I go outside, of my mind
I search for clues, and answers
Grasp madly, at solutions
But they seem, intangible

07. Simple Aggression

Visions breed of hated signs, violence, reborn it has aligned
Emotions stagnant will dissipate, frenzied uprising explodes to hate
Brutality in a simple term, unexplained sense of reality born
Intertwined with a violent nature, but it's the nature of us all

Extreme malevolent darkened rage, a sign of human kind ordained
Power of our heightened senses, loss of your mental expenses
Mind destroy in a cerebral explosion, thoughts gone in mental erosion
Evolutionary instincts thru time, give us the nature to survive

Simple Aggression
Burning deep within your mind
Simple Aggression
Breeding violence in time

Killing an ancient nature of survival, a plague begins its dark arrival
Codes bred into our making, silence terminates the thinking
Destruction angered fits of pain, released other's lives you will drain
Change within this violent storm, the Simple Aggression is born

Simple Aggression
Burning deep within your mind
Simple Aggression
Breeding violence in time

Hiding beneath a shroud of sanity, a new upbringing surging thru humanity
A curse ideal of us all, an omen transcends as we bear the call
In truth reality shows of the teaching,
Intrinsic fatality brings forth the preaching
Forever all man must regress, to relive a nature to simply aggress

08. Frenzy

From within the chest, and behind the eyes an emotion starts to grow
With glazed eyes and sweating palm the excitement begins to show
Muscles are tense, Heart is racing, soon it begins
Clenching fists, quickening breath, and gleam of a crooked grin

Meek hair raising, stomach turns, but still forth you come
Blackout of mind, plans still remain, of a violent syndrome
Licking your lips, for the taste of blood, the instinct is back
Evolutions recoiled, in a simple form of brutality you attack

Seeing through the crack in your eye
I can see into your mind
I see what will be born
I can see the new human form

Endorphins flood, no sense of pain
Bodily anesthesia, a sign to come ordained
Gritting your teeth, anger rises in violent storm
Crack in your eyes, now I see the true frenzy form

Soon a metamorphosis, a symbolic brother here
Fits of killing on a virgin world for you to endear
Tasting what has, thinking of the future
Mind fights back, frenzy alive in a split mind rapture

Seeing through the crack in your eye
I can see into your mind
I see what will be born
I can see the new human form

Change complete, aggressive violent son
The true nature of life now it has won
Over expressive, the thirst now arises
The frenzy invades, conquers, and in your mind intertwines

09. Madd

All those worldly changes, too much for me
Al I those alterations, what do they mean
First say one thing is good but now it's bad
What am I to do or do or understand
Feeling like a puppet dangling on strings
Nobody listening to a damn thing
Pissing me off getting on my nerves
I'll tell 'em all I'll make 'em learn
Feeling like a puppet dangling on strings
Nobody listening to a damn thing

If I told you once then I told you twice
What's the matter don't you understand?
Can't you see or are you blind
Don't you understand that I'm mad?

All those phony preachers, begging for some of my cash
Preaching faith healing, listen to their trash
All the President's men say the world's a Setter place
How can they say this with weapons to kill a race
Feeling like a puppet dangling on strings
Nobody listening to a damn thing
Pissing me off getting on my nerves
I'll tell 'em all I'll make 'em learn
Feeling like a puppet dangling on strings
Nobody listening to a damn thing

If I told you once then I told you twice
What's the matter don't you understand?
Can't you see or are you blind
Don't you understand that I'm mad?

10. Spiritual Voices

Unknown sounds haunting in your mind
Paranoia scare grows on time
Manifestation of what's not seen
Your two gods of invisibility
Follow their paths and proverbs

They could never lead you astray
Falling deep within then inner turmoil
My sane thoughts they begin to soil
For what is seen and heard
Is it unconscious masters that you serve

Haunting these voices of temptation rise
A devil and an angel on my shoulder hide
Whispering nothings into my head
If I follow I'll wind up dead

Allowing imagination to rule our lives
Crumbling decay your mind unwinds
Tormented sights unfound frustrations
I stare away and talk to creation
Anger rises in a massive upheaval
I don't see or speak but I hear their evil
Under their guidance
Figments of defiance
Wanting my complete control
Subconscious ego, master of body mind and soul

Haunting these voices of temptation rise
A devil and an angel on my shoulder hide
Whispering nothings into my head
If I follow I'll wind up dead

Now I walk into these lands, two spirits hand in hand
Delusions of grandeur, of a lacerated mind sore
What I see lo me is real, what I hear is my reality
You will never know inside it, you only feel the signs of insanity

11. Jedi Mind Trick

Name's Luke Skywalker, I'm flying through the bounds of space
With my many friends, to save every oppressed race
Well my name's MC Vader, I'm the villain with the most
Just you wait young Jedi, till the Dark Force crushes you by the throat

Use the force Luke, in your x-wing fly
Use many mind tricks, become the Jedi

Punch it Chewy hit light speed
Do it quick that's what we need
R2D2 hyperdrive
Do it fast before we die

Use the force Luke, in your x-wing fly
Use many mind tricks, become the Jedi

Obi One and Yoda, try and use their wit
But it does no good, for it ain't worth shit because
I'm the one and only Darth Vader, in my sexy black uniform
With my polished hair helmet, the emperor and its Dark Force

Use the force Luke, in your x-wing fly
Use many mind tricks, become the Jedi

George Bush joins our party of space travelers along with Vinnie and Darth
Vader as they boogie down through outer space

C3PO simulated human unit with an android cyborg robot
Me and R2 can do it
Hey Princess Lea fix those cinnamon rolls
On the side of your head that ain't too cool
Come with us lo the escape pod, out in space we're the star wars squad

12. Share Your Pain

The ancient people are taken by greed
A girl is raped in the night she pleads
Downs Syndrome plays its hand
He only wants to be a man

Sir I'm sorry you were robbed
Miss I'm sorry can't have that job
We'll change you so you can learn
Take these drugs to make your mind burn

We are a shattered nation - I share your pain
We are a shattered nation - As we stand in rain
We are a shattered nation - I share your pain
We are a shattered nation - As I cry in rage

Bullets fly in the dead of night
Gangs kill in minor fights
I've seen too many die today
It's your misery it's your pain

Let's start a war so we can conquer
A new redeemer a new esteem
Practice what you learn but do what you preach
And always take heed to what the future brings

We are a shattered nation - I share your pain
We are a shattered nation - As we stand in rain
We are a shattered nation - I share your pain
We are a shattered nation - As I cry in rage

We are the new breed, we share the new pain
We are the new breed, we share the new pain

Watch yourself watch what you do
Or someone will put their pain on you
It might be something you could not bear
A part of them you don't want to share

We are a shattered nation
