Those fangs will have grown long if you think you can hunt me
Deceitful parasite Beneath the appearance, every step’s a twisted truth Eternal pretender What it takes, I won’t sway, heart and soul to prove it Arrogance to sweep away You’re a fraud, you’re so fake, a cheap replica of me All smoke and mirrors Come crawling, scavenger With curled nails, heedless of fails Come crawling, skuldugger Devours the light with eyes shut tight Come crawling, scavenger On hands and knees among the sludge Come crawling, with no sense of shame Through dirt and dust, night prowler Your fool’s paradise from its foundations Is coming to an end Imitation, replicate, to fill your empty space Leftover collector Come crawling, scavenger With curled nails, heedless of fails Come crawling, skuldugger Devours the light with eyes shut tight Come crawling, scavenger On hands and knees among the sludge Come crawling, with no sense of shame Through dirt and dust, discarded scrap Hear my words! Plant the seed of vengeance, eye for an eye Face undercover long enough I see through your deception, maggot shit-eater Feeding on jealousy and envy, ha! Come crawling, scavenger With curled nails, heedless of fails Come crawling, skuldugger Devours the light with eyes shut tight Come crawling, scavenger On hands and knees among the sludge Come crawling, with no sense of shame Through dirt and dust, insidious reptile Hear my words! 02. Cold
I find myself in places that I’ve never been before
Tried to beat the weakness but I’m not even close The sands of time are falling and it’s hard to get this far Left behind in chaos I keep going the best I can Cold, the weight of the world seems so strong My eyes staring soulless as I feel myself unsafe The menace of the watcher a persistent race to hell (To… be…) Told the unforsaken sins to the mirror in the wall But the pain implicit is constant, it feels like heavy chains Cold, my heart that weighs like a stone I can sometimes fall away from me And I can other times hide and disappear… from me I’ve lost the immortal part of me in a vain attempt to heal The tears that carve my face in scars tell what I was meant to be (Meant… to …) Be someone I am not, someone I have always been Duality of existence as unique and useless creed Cold, the weight of the world seems so strong (so strong…) I can sometimes fall away from me And I can other times hide and disappear ‘Cause I can sometimes turn away from me And I can love and hate myself and run away… from me Bleeding dreams of self-affliction Living in an endless hole where I fall away from me In the darkest hour I can see the light When the world around me fades from sight Sanity, ignore the screams of agony from the other side Reality, so artificial that it feels so wrong and makes me drown in tears I can sometimes fall away from me And I can other times hide and disappear ‘Cause I can sometimes turn away from me And I can love and hate myself and run away… from me Far away! 03. Snob
So, this is how it ends for me and you, my friend
And I don’t give a fuck You made me feel like a clown, the way you let me down, selling off my trust I can see how you’ve succumbed to arrogance Stinkiest pig of the herd You’re just another prig, a classist piece of shit who served my head on a plate… Just fucking wait! So, this is how it ends for me and you, my friend Why should I give a fuck? You tried to fool me but I’d rather expose you Get back on track My life’s too precious, I have no time to waste You’ll never admit a mistake I can see the truth right through your disguise There’s nothing more to say Pretentious snob, with high held nose, above us all I found your trap, you can’t deny, those words were gold Pretentious snob, from head to toes, above us all I got you trapped, you can’t deny, truth must be told Truth must be told! You point your finger from your golden throne Threw me to the wolves Chase me out from the place I could call my own What are you waiting for? Truth must be told! Sad that I had to learn the hard way Let’s get this straight You tried to lock me up and then throw the key away No, we are not the same! We are not the same… no! I gave you my faith but you spat in my face And you wanted me to hold my tongue Burying me deep and pretend you don’t know me Just shove off, get the fuck outta here! Pretentious snob, with high held nose, above us all I found your trap, you can’t deny, those words were gold Pretentious snob, from head to toes, above us all I got you trapped, you can’t deny, truth must be told You’re a fucking snob! The higher you fly, the harder you will fall Always be careful what you wish for Whatever you say or wherever you will go You can’t hide you’re a fucking elitist snob 04. Fire Eyes
It was at nightfall when you felt the cold blade
The sharpened steel of the scythe Can you remember yourself barely crawling? Escaping from a certain death Afraid, afraid, regretting your disgrace Your scrawny body crept, wrapped in striped rags You made your way among the bodybags Went on the run, nowhere to hide Coming to get you Towards you with fire eyes It was at dawn when they found your hideout Aiming with their dominant eye How did you feel when you watched the world burn? Held on to the fence from inside You begged, you cried, you pled for your life Your trembling feet stuck in the cold mud Your only sin was being born on the wrong side That side For they will come and take you down But now it's too late to realize A burning gaze will hypnotize Staring so deadly, their wrath, with fire eyes For they will come and take you down With fire eyes And now you’re standing in front of a harmless child Aiming with your dominant eye How does it feel to be the hunter now on the other side of the fence? She begs, she cries, she pleads for her life Her trembling feet stuck in the cold mud Her only sin was being born on the wrong side That side For they will come and take you down But now it's too late to realize A burning gaze will hypnotize Staring so deadly, your wrath, with fire eyes For they will come and take you down They will come, take you down But now it's too late to realize A burning gaze will hypnotize Hypnotize Staring so deadly, your wrath, with fire eyes Fire eyes 05. Rats
A new intimidation is spreading like a plague of ticks
A regressive condition Threatened by a growing stream of uncontrolled hostility Contaminated preachers with their word as sole reality Highly toxic pollution Selling an infectious speech, we're paying with our sanity No boundaries! Rats! Their voices rise in anger, consumed by fiery lies in pathetic minds Mass media propagating fake news at prime time Got something to say! Rats! Filthy! Fucking! Rats! Masks are falling, their true face showing Damn filthy rats they are! Their tongues are rotten with lies begotten Stand against the rising tide Filthy rats they are! What's going on? Why's the whole world gone insane? Mouths wide open but nothing rational to say Sleepwalkers lost in slumber's deep embrace Tormented minds in search of truth going the wrong way They can snap their fingers and hold you inside their sphere You're desperate, they will tell you what you wanna hear They smile then bite They cure with fire They choose the path with power to cloud your mind Watch out! 06. To Whom It May Concern
In this void where hope is hard to find
Alone I sit within my mind I lay surrounded by despair Lost without a trace I sit in a cold and empty place Where I can hide myself away Here I stand embraced by darkness Unknown faces all around the place The silent echoes bring their pain It reminds me all my struggle was in vain The lurking shadows in this room Chasing demons blinded by disgrace Beneath the shadow of the gallows Motionless, I firmly hold the rope Don’t let me go / I’m not ready What would it take to keep me here with you? Don’t let me go / Hold me tight I don’t wanna go, don’t let my memory fade away Trembling fingers scratch the surface Of an endless tomb of twisted thoughts The wounds that bleed my broken heart A constant fear that tears this world apart Don’t let me go / I’m not ready What would it take to keep me here with you? Don’t let me go / Hold me tight I don’t wanna go, don’t let my memory fade away Don’t let me go… guide my way through this valley The fading light, my soul’s so lost Don’t let me fall… this road is dark and dreary The shadows creep and crawl behind me Reaching out for a helping hand But no one seems to understand In this vast and distant space Soundless noises unbearably loud A lonely figure in the crowd Would you ever recognize my face? Got a time bomb ticking in my head Erased by time and wasted years Would you ever say my name? Then I wish I could be someone else And I know it’s okay to feel this way The thing is I’m scared as fuck So, I can’t blame anyone Suffocating grasp of madness Let the devil come and take his toll Whispering sins are due to pay Left behind my fate down in a hole A black abyss behind my shoulders Carrying this burden through the eternal cold Trembling fingers scratch the surface I write this letter to whom it may concern Don’t let me go / I’m not ready What would it take to keep me here with you? Don’t let me go / Hold me tight I don’t wanna go, don’t let my memory fade away 07. Gernika
It's time, the sirens are screaming aloud
Approaching with thunderous sound Death is making its way through the clouds They're here, the metal wings swing in the air A deafening roaring ahead The symphony of death drawing near Fear is a tool Used with power Controlling the fools Darkening the skies with a sinister might "Be fierce and take no prisoners" Leaving a trail of nightmares as they're flying low Raining fire from the skies above Shake the ground, burn the crops, tear hills down Damned be the liars who talk and the cowards who shut up The madmen who press down their guns Taking thousands of lives as they pass Hear me now, among the bombs around We were all tears in the storm Hear me now, with rubble all around Our spirits will rise above Behold the ruins of a world now gone The carved scars on each and every stone Silent streets, shattered and drowned The echoes of a war still yet to come Hear me now, among the bombs around We were all tears in the storm Hear me now, with rubble all around Our spirits will rise above Hear me now, among the bombs around We were all tears in the storm Hear me now, with rubble all around Our spirits will rise above 08. I Am Hatred
I am darkness when the light shines bright
The voice that whispers in the blackest night I'm the nightmares that feed on your fears The shadow that creeps when no one's near I am hatred Sin by sin, I am hatred I'm the chaos that tears worlds apart The serpent dwelling in your very hearts I'm the one who lurks within the soul The hunger that drives you to lose control I am hatred Sin by sin, I am hatred Inside outside, a corpse in a cage Profane perversion, twisted impulse of rage Temptation lures you like a siren's song I am fire that spreads devastating the world My hate that devastates your world My world I I am I am hate I am hatred Sin by sin, I am hatred Hate Hatred I hate you all I am hatred Hate! Hatred! I hate you all I am 09. What Kills Us All
White, white sheep clothes cover the great wolf waiting for weakness
A latent menace Choked, choked with blood, drown in tears Senseless police brutality, life doesn't matter There's no way to make them understand This world got outta hand Not a single reason to deny this treason Inviolable human rights, yeah Rules, rules followed by fools ready to pull the trigger No brains with badge and gun Threat, threat of the new world order You know you can do something but look the other way There's no way to make them understand This world got outta hand Not a single reason to deny this treason Inviolable human rights, yeah Infierno en la Tierra Hell on earth La mente siempre en guerra What kills us all Más armas que almas Human nature Lluvia de fuego el mundo en llamas Al suelo y las manos en la nuca El hijo de puta primero dispara y luego pregunta El miedo y el gatillo fácil malos aliados Ver una teta sonroja más que un muerto en el asfalto Juegan al tiro al blanco, más si eres negro El sueño americano es la pesadilla en las calles, infierno Esto es U.S.A. crimen y discriminación Sin discreción abren fuego a discreción Vamos a cambiar el juego, vamos a degüello Mi rodilla es de la talla de tu cuello Aquí un asunto turbio es ser un antidisturbio Te van a dar más palos siempre si eres del suburbio ¿Un poli nace nazi, o se hace? El tonto la clase se crece con su puto traje El taser en los huevos a esa autoridad abusiva Mi mente siempre activa, efectiva, hoy agresiva pero siempre antifa Systemic racism Progressive armed fight The enemy is prowling around Law, law in corrupted uniforms Same acts of phrenology as racial profiling Sick, sick of all this apathy Blindness is taking over, mass ignorance There's no way to make them understand This world got outta hand Not a single reason to deny this treason Inviolable human rights, yeah What kills us all What kills us all What kills us all What kills us all 10. Vultures And Butterflies
Consumed by grief, I was so lost
So far away without you For years and years, I blamed myself But I couldn't find all those mistakes The dreams we shared were just a lie When you said you'd never let me down You made me weak, so fragile The struggle within, my breath burns like stars Pleading to hold you tight just one last time But forced to believe I deserved every scar The pain and the anguish screaming from inside As deadly as a vulture As fragile as a butterfly Both dancers within nature You lied to me as you drew a smile Smashed my chest like shattered glass You made me weak, you broke my heart Pieces they scatter far and wide For each shard collides every tear I cried A torture's enforced, the unspoken words The pain and the anguish screaming from inside As deadly as a vulture As fragile as a butterfly Both dancers within nature Circling till they die Love is a promise so bright, now ruined, crushed and undone To end all our memories, to be dust, our flesh and bones As deadly as a vulture As fragile as a butterfly Both dancers within nature Circling to its sacrifice As deadly as a vulture As fragile as a butterfly Both dancers within nature |
