Lecherous inhuman monsters
Piteous crimes carried out Patriarchs to the lunatic fringe They venerate what has been done They turned a small town in northern California Into the haunt of the damned Devoid of all comprehension The most vicious hateful part of man [Chorus:] Dragging their victims into lunacy And putting it all on film Wretched dregs of society Killers of children Rapists of women Sado-sexual violence Immoral killing with indifference Aroused as your victims cry Unjust pain they love to inflict Breaking their souls, then their minds Malevolent and rancid perversions The outcome is always death Bodies thrown down into a hole Maggots consuming the flesh [Chorus] Fear-A macabre madness Fiendish carnage with rabid butchery Pain-sadistically tortured Rejoicing in their victims slavery Rape-forced violations Malicious desecration of the thrall Slave-depraved exploitation A sickening anguish for them all Sado-sexual violence Sick-twisted rituals Vile defiling of the enslaved Lie-decimate aspirations abused At the hands of the deranged Kill-and slaughter the damned With gruesome and heinous suffering Death-merciless killing With despicable and cruel agony Sado-sexual violence [Solo Lee] [Solo Gary] Excoriate the legal system Exposing all of its flaws One kills himself with cyanide The other makes a mockery of the law The act of killing eroticized Dismissive to call you insane Committed horrific and brutal crimes Then laughing with total disdain [Chorus] 02. Beyond The Pale
Sinners heart can't think or feel
The sharp sting of slicing steel Punish, kill, repeat The death caress, so bittersweet I live outside the rule of law My one decree is shock and awe Black sheep of my kind Progeny of hate refined [Pre-chorus:] Suffering spreads like the plague Reasons why, still oh so vague The siren song of slaughter summons me To inner demons I succumb I know not that which I've become Exhibit A in man's atrocity Take the gun, take the knife Take the pain, then take the life My taste for homicide Is rising up and amplified Bloody deeds, my only friend With me til the bitter end Together we are one And our work has just begun [Pre-chorus] [Chorus:] Plea for mercy To no avail Killers of my kind live Beyond the pale In this world of mine They say I don't belong Something that feels so right Could never be so wrong Plea for clemency You're wasting time My routine Is the scene of the crime I make the Devil laugh And Angels wail Forever I will reside Beyond the pale [Solo Gary] Heartless bastard cold as ice Victim of my own device The strong prey on the weak Dead men, they never speak All part of man's condition On this path to our perdition We kill along the way Death never takes a holiday [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] [Solo Lee] 03. Hammer And Life
Born again harder
Than I was before Bringing the hammer down Is more than metaphor I live by the steel Die by the blade What reason is there to be If you're living life afraid? [Chorus:] The hammer is my symbol The banner that I wave The motto of my creed Carved upon my grave I life for the here and now I live for the knife My coat of arms Is the hammer and life [Solo Gary] [Solo Lee] Fear and cowardice Harbingers of demise Strength and the will to fight Will lead you to the prize Glory to all of those Who conquer to the end Honor the hammer On it you can depend [Chorus] 04. Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)
Everything around me ignites my rage
I'm burning with animosity Everywhere I look another war to wage Filled with purpose of singularity Got my hollow points, got my magazines Wrote my manifesto of decay Commencement of the killing at the university Antipathy, the lesson of the day They never should have pushed me away [Chorus:] Student bodies lying dead in the halls A blood splattered treatise of hate Class dismissed is my hypothesis Gun fire ends the debate All I ever wanted was a little affection But no one ever gave it to me My hate primer's the result of my rejection You'll die for it, and I'll die for thee The halls of learning now a shooting range My final exam with a gun Killing everyone who ever thought me strange My bloody dissertation has begun Pomp and circumstance replaced by bullet wounds The smell of gunpowder on the air Murder is the nightmare of this afternoon My malevolence, your cross to bear All because of my despair [Chorus] Hate lives in me Hate lives in me Hate-I need it and it needs me Hate-I feed it and it fed me Hate-I breed it and it bred me Hate Hate-I read it and it read me Hate-I lead it and it led me Hate-I bleed it and it bled me I breathe it in, and it breathes through me [Solo Lee] [Solo Gary] While SWAT teams swarm all around the quad The symposium of slaughter carries on Smith and Wesson is my only God And the line in the sand has been drawn Valedictorian of violence Graduation day, one bullet remains Charles Whitman set the precedent I pull the trigger and blow out my brains They never knew I was insane [Chorus] I instruct you And I destruct you I deconstruct you Until my hate has fucked you 05. Downfall
A crumbling empire
Where angels fear to tread Into the ruins of a civilization A society ripped to shreds No semblance of order Into the world which I abjure Where the bloody blade is forged Am I the cause of the cure? [Chorus:] Our destiny is soon revealed Battle strewn, no way to heal We spread the wings of failure For the world's last goodnight Downfall! In the flames of the burning lands Who claims to have the upper hand? Bonfire of the vanities and spite Like Sodom and Gomorrah Forsaken and alone Look how the mighty all have fallen We reap what we have sewn When all the marble palaces Are blackened, sacked and burned Will we understand man's ignorance Through all the lessons learned? [Chorus] Fall! Fall! Fall! Downfall! [Solo Gary] So quick to claim the credit due Yet no one takes the blame Like Nero played his violin While watching Rome in flames Implosion of our nations through Decisions of its kings Downfall of our creation It's the end of everything [Chorus] 06. March Of The Sycophants
Do as they say, not as they do
March to the tune of the Christian right Hypocrites, their rules they don't apply to you Parading in the name of Christ Former leader in a hotel room Smoking crank and sucking cock Guilty as sin yet innocence presumed Still they talk the talk [Pre-chorus:] Christian soldiers Trudging off to war Behind the cross of Jesus And still they... [Chorus:] March! March! It's the march of the sycophants, they March! March! March in time to the rhythm of the right, they March! March! Here come the sheep, all promenade, they March! March! Everybody loves a parade Masters of hyperbole They claim to know what's wrong or right The mob led to believe so easily Like a moth to a light Pro-life, anti-life and so sincere Battalions of the dull of mind Obeying all they read, see or hear The ignorant leading the blind [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] Brain dead plebeians Rally 'round the Bible and the flag Their prophets are a plumber And a small minded rifle packing hag One nation under God And one under the thumb Marching to the beat of a different kind of drum It's the march of the sycophants! Town hall rabble Cry liberty and justice for the few It's the end of they world as they know it That's what they'll say to you Conspiracy theories eaten raw like meat Fed by the mother of lies They suck straight from the teat It's the march of the sycophants! [Solo Lee] [Solo Gary] 07. Nanking
Sadistic soldiers of the rising sun
1937's when the rape had begun The ancient city fell under imperial rule By an engine of war and lust, savage and cruel Assembly line efficiency of killing machines Unbridled fury of the sick and obscene Systematic sexual degradation The more perverse the greater exaltation Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run They turned the waters of the Yangtze red with blood Cast aside and brutalized Terrific horror made to terrorize Bestial and violent, six weeks of suffering So black was the day they marched through the gates Their fate was beckoning Tanks ran over men nailed to boards Decapitations with an officer's sword Gang rape of women, both the young and the old Frozen to death in waters ice cold Disembowelment, some are buried alive Suicide's preferred for those who survive The stench of corpses everywhere in the streets Dogs feast on the rotting meat Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run They turned the waters of the Yangtze red with blood Cast aside and brutalized Terrific horror made to terrorize Bestial and violent, six weeks of suffering So black was the day they marched through the gates Their fate was beckoning It was the rape of Nanking Thousands forced into prostitution So many years and still no restitution The carnage of Carthage so easily outdone Add all the blood you get 1200 tons Massacre removed from history books No mention of men hung from iron hooks All counter to the rules of war They made a city an army's whore Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run They turned the waters of the Yangtze red with blood Cast aside and brutalized Terrific horror made to terrorize Bestial and violent, six weeks of suffering So black was the day, they marched through the gates Their fate was beckoning It was the rape of Nanking 08. Burn, Hollywood, Burn
Land of enchantment and fake reality
Where they put in vitro breeding machines On the cover of a magazine Trailer trash and human freaks They grab their minute of fame And still the puppets watch And everybody knows the names That's why I say Burn, hollywood, burn When it's dead and gone we'll never miss a thing Burn, hollywood, burn No more rotten to the core little sweet sixteens Burn. hollywood, burn Time's running out on their minute of fame Let's douse the fire by pissing on the flames So young, bitch and famous Hotel heiress, glamour queen The only reason we know your name Is bad night vision pornography From the "real" housewives of botox hills To the cunts of Bel-Aire You can't look away from the cathode ray Why does anybody fucking care Burn, hollywood, burn When it's dead and gone we'll never miss a thing Burn, hollywood, burn No more rotten to the core little sweet sixteens Burn. hollywood, burn Time's running out on their minute of fame Let's douse the fire by pissing on the flames 09. Democide
Monsters, proudly displaying their deeds for the world to proscribe
Demons, walking the earth hell bent on their genocide Complete destruction, blood lust seduction Drinking warm blood with a smile Beyond the horror, they're born to suffer Hundreds of thousands defiled Show no mercy, slow executions Laugh while mutilating God be damned, war is hell God be damned Dissected while still alive, the violence you live to endure Cleansing, inherently violent, purging the world for the pure Triumph of evil, hatred primeval Unenlightened corrupted souls Orgy of murder, heartless and vile Merchants of death in control Show no mercy, slow executions Laugh while mutilating God be damned, war is hell God be damned, war is hell God be damned, war is hell Monsters, proudly displaying their deeds for the world to proscribe Demons, walking the earth hell bent on their genocide Show no mercy, slow executions Laugh while mutilating God be damned, war is hell 10. The Sun Is My Destroyer
Immortal subjugator, usurper, dominator
Blood ruler of the dark Lord of the shadow world, flag of black unfurled Foul, unholy patriarch Enslaver of mankind, king of all unkind Light ender in black domain I fear only the dawn, at war with the rising sun Eternal dusk ordained I lurk beside you, never to abide you I live inside you, always to divide you I stand between you, certain to unclean you The night is my savior The sun is my destroyer Despotic tyrants liar, judgement always dire Unrepentant fear machine Dream world paralyzer, re of man, none the wiser Beneath the surface, site unseen My only enemy, the day, behest color, shades of grey Rejoice in the coming of the night Nightmares come all too real, dest horror soon revealed Rising with the dying of the light I lurk beside you, never to abide you I live inside you, always to divide you I stand between you, certain to unclean you The night is my savior The sun is my destroyer In my dominion, day meets its demise Ultraviolet adversary, like an open wound to cauterize The night's assailant is the coming of the morning sun Illuminescent antagonist, smashed to oblivion I am god here, in the bowels of the human mind Creature of imagination, born of the impure and unrefined I prey on your fear, take all you hold dear and then I use it against you So unwise for you to close your eyes That's when I come to dispense you Malignant dream accuser Pleasant thought reverser Loathsome bringer of dread Slumber now vitiated Sweet dreams abominated Terrors better left unsaid Villainous machination Sub conscious tribulation Tremble at the coming of the twilight Rising with the setting sun Returning when the day's undone Ensuring an end to all goodnights I lurk beside you, never to abide you I live inside you, always to divide you I stand between you, certain to unclean you The night is my savior The sun is my destroyer 11.

12. Good Riddance
Cesspool in orbit, our end has begun
We live on the third lump of shit from the sun Planet in peril, but why give a fuck Soon the earth will run out of luck Wreck it all until the land is stripped Rejoice in the coming apocalypse Sing loud the world's last lullaby But my replies Good riddance, goodbye So long to this fucking world, sit back and watch it fry Good riddance, goodnight Adios planet earth, now die Parasitic infestation, never ending procreation Our shit stained constellation headed for its cancellation Eternity of desecration, another misread calculation Give the earth one last ovation before it starts the final Crash and burn Get down to business, cut to the chase It's time for mankind's fall from grace The end's coming sooner than you'll ever know So sit back, relax and enjoy the show No time to cry, I won't shed a tear This is, after all the event of the year You testify, but my replies Good riddance, goodbye So long to this fucking world, sit back and watch it fry Good riddance, goodnight Adios planet earth, now die |
