Falling from grace forever damning the human race
A parable amongst mortals, for we were damned from the start Mass creators of population, yet destroyers of civilization With piss and bile coursing through veins that flood an ashen heart God damned this world - that is if "god" exists God hates this world - left his "son" tied to a stick? God as sadist - this is the portrait you paint God is within and we ruin everything? We ruin everything. Slow death (in the garden) unnatural selection Sodomy (unwillingly) of everything Our debts will never be paid, our mark left unerased The sands of time now a suffocating desert Devoid of color, grey matter produces greyer skies The will to power - a suicide Leave no trace - eliminate the human race Killers. Murderers. Civilians? The gardeners of eden Wreckers. Ruiners. Terrorists? Addicted to death God damned this world - that is if "god" exists God hates this world - left his "son" tied to a stick? God as sadist - this is the portrait you paint God is within and we ruin everything? Leave no trace - eliminate the human race 02. A Body Farm Music by Josh Elmore Lyrics by Travis Ryan
For every life I take, an ecosystem I create
Blood and guts consumes my life I am the "brutal gardener" I - "quantity controller" ?no more insane than Jesus Christ. Forgive my humble abode Rotting bodies clogging the commode Please pardon the stench and the trunk of a man lying on the workbench Out by the shed are buzzing hives made of human heads The gestation of larvae tells us the time of death Decomposition - An exhibition of life that springs from tragedy Degeneration - Breakdown and maturation of DNA: The residue of death The twilight falls on maggots burrowing in flesh Dead - the dead now dead as can be The cadaver now giving life harmoniously A God - This makes me a god This is absurd and quite obscene - the corruption of human beings My back yard now a goddamned crime scene I am the ying, I am the yang Good and evil are one in the same No more insane than Jesus Christ? The smell is part of the charm when you live on a "body farm" I walk with the stench of decay along corpse littered paths at the break of the day Ah, the irony in being a killer, yet in the crime-solving community, I am a pillar A corpse turns to mulch with a good roto-tiller? I kill for the good of man Decomposition - a morbid demonstration The cycle of life - in all its majesty Degeneration - curdling fermentation of heaps and heaps of human meat The twilight falls on maggots burrowing in flesh Dead - the dead now dead as can be The cadaver now giving life harmoniously A God - This makes me a god 03. We are Horrible People Music by Josh Elmore Lyrics by Travis Ryan
Destroyers in nature
It's just the fabric of us, our mistakes - feeble-minded Moderate - to severe - idiocy The "most intelligent" creatures on the planet An advanced civilization, which says nothing at all? Humans Like US. We, the people We, the morons Apparently non-educable idiots We are horrible people This is a fire This is the gasoline Insects attract to the flame And turn to pitch all the same? Our presence here - threatening Habitats de-evolve - a mutant parody Our hands are hammers - the earthen anvil All life in between - disinterred and destroyed You looked into the eyes of the beast You extended your hand - in trust It so graciously accepted the fate There's no honor in betrayal O the savages, the ravagers of the pleading, standing there bleeding Tears of the innocent - turned into mammalian dissidents We the people - we the terrible The war has been waged Us vs. them vs. life vs. cage Inherently exiled from a life on an earth abundant with prosperity O the hearts of men, their blood so thin with original sin Tears of the innocent - turned into mammalian dissidents Our presence here - threatening Habitats de-evolve - a mutant parody Our hands are hammers - the earthen anvil All life in between - disinterred and destroyed Destroyers in nature It's just the fabric of us, our mistakes - feeble-minded Moderate - to severe - idiocy The "most intelligent" creatures on the planet An advanced civilization, which says nothing at all? Humans Like US. We, the people We, the morons No single inferior race We're all apparently idiots We, the people, are horrible 04. Tooth Enamel & Concrete Music by Josh Elmore Lyrics by Travis Ryan
Pain like you've never felt before
Your face instantly grated and scraped along the sidewalk Chiseled up, filed down & a concrete crown I've got your face to the curb With my pleasure boot you'll learn - life is cheap Let's have a sacrifice in which we take your life Straight through your mouth - denting your dentin The power I uphold Teeth and concrete now mold Shaved and scraped Hovering above your twitching, bloody mouth that still keeps bitching: "Just tell me why?" Why? Because you are human? O, the insanity? the humanity. Toothless gash gives new meaning to "cavities"? Filing the enamel revealing the dentine Gouging out pulp, separation of cementum Disintegrating through maxillar scraping Mandible and glottis now raw and pulsating in a jellied heap Your incisors on the pavement A brutal end to your enslavement - life is cheap Let's have a sacrifice where your teeth merge with your eyes Sinus collapse - blunt facial prolapse The power I uphold Teeth and concrete now mold Shaved and scraped Hovering above your twitching, bloody mouth that still keeps bitching, begging me: "Please!" O, death? Such a tease? O, the insanity? the humanity. Toothless gash gives new meaning to "cavities"? 05. The Ripe Beneath The Rind Music by Josh Elmore Lyrics by Travis Ryan
Flesh shall flay
Peeled back - exposing the nutrients of contents of mammal Nutritious, delicious fruit The stratified-squamous: keratinized Epithelia dissected Pseudo-stratified columnar, uni-cellular goblets (cells) secreting mucus Gored out The flesh is ripened - ready to gorge Visceral contents empty on the floor Like a fine wine the organs disgorge Victim lies begging but I'm wanting more The pain is insane, a new anus is torn Gaping slice Opened wide, peeling rind - bleeding, spurting everywhere? (now revealing the salty goodness beneath and flash frying it) Lancing meat Tender outside - juicy inside - disgusts me? Chopping, dicing, scrutinizing, dissecting and separating A corpse is still a corpse, of course we dine with no remorse We've sharpened all the knives to know the ripe that's beneath the rind A blood lust curiosity, what makes these humans tick? I've known it all my life? BLOOD Flesh shall flay Peeled back - now exposing the nutrients of contents of mammal Nutritious, delicious fruit The stratified-squamous: keratinized Epithelia dissected Pseudo-stratified columnar, uni-cellular goblets (cells) secreting mucus Gored out And like a wild boar your head is hunted And like a cantelope your head is opened And like a pork belly your skin seared sterile And underneath it lie the lies, the murder, the man, the meat 06. The Product Alive Music by Josh Elmore Lyrics by Travis Ryan
Violently passive consumer - vital statistic
A gear in a machine spinning out of control and ever ready to explode The cemetery will carry on - with carrion, turned to ashes The species will die the harder they try to control the masses Itemized flesh - scanned inventory A New Testament in greed Taking count - humanity is the product Ever expanding the marketplace, dissolving the commonwealth Pandemic - the damnation, epic If this is the answer, then count me out. Humanity is the cancer, and I want out. Dead monolith - towering cesspool of Babel Dreams of tyrants - the product alive Excessive commodity - dominant ideology Self-destructive machine spinning out of control and ever ready to implode The cemetery will carry on - with carrion, turned to ashes The species will die the harder they try to control the masses I walked inside the monolith In plastic I was reborn If this is the answer, then count me out. Humanity is the cancer, and I want out. Dead monolith - towering cesspool of babel! Dreams of tyrants - the product alive 07. In Axetasy Music by Josh Elmore Lyrics by Travis Ryan
Behold!
The blade is nice and dull from the millions of heads, from the millions that we left for dead Bluntly disassembled and painfully dissected With an instrument of gore, bisected heads like rose pedals litter the floor Clinically insane - serotonin flooding the brain A sudden charge of epinephrine leaves my victims writhing in pain In ecstasy I continue to maim - no one around me shall remain the same I can take off their scalp, watch the cranium palpitate, bleeding and throw them away I decide your fate I say you're too late With the Judgment Stick of hate I decapitate With this axe? I behead. With this knowledge I've obtained of the human race I leave you dead? I've stared in the eyes of my helpless casualties I've yet to experience any kind of "human" remorse? I stand on the harvest floor The place where death shows its face and extinguishes all of the human race? Behold! A blade to crush the skull, the ribcage, break every bone and destroy every membrane Smite the people with vengeance and bring damnation upon their descendents Bluntly disassembled and painfully dissected with an assemblage of gore, bisected heads, appendages, intestines and more! Clinically deranged - norepinephrine driving me insane A sudden charge of adrenaline leaves my victims writhing in pain In ecstasy I continue to maim - everyone now just a pawn in my game I can remove their faces now displaced in ways that you never thought could happen again Like the murders of yore Dearly departed and discarded gore Forever living in my mind In axetasy - the only peace I can find? I decide your fate I say you're too late With the Judgment Stick of hate I decapitate With this axe? I behead With this knowledge I've obtained of the human race I leave you dead? I've stared in the eyes of my helpless casualties I've yet to experience any kind of "human" remorse? I stand on the harvest floor The place where death shows its face And extinguishes all of the human race? In axetasy its fight or flight Euphoria in slice and dice No better way to spend my nights In axetasy I end your life 08. Into The Public Bath Music by Josh Elmore Lyrics by Travis Ryan
To the caldarium we retreat from these days of rape
Wielding bounty of the harvest that starves this world of the essence that makes it worth living in? Famished from the killing, the work that we've done and the blood we've been spilling Violence takes a lot out of a man Raping the rapists that molest the land I require total immersion in human waste Into the public bath Reservoir of human excretions The sweat and urine of a thousand men A goddamned bacteria trap Microbes making love to amoebas Spawning secondary human byproducts Dead skin cells, ejaculate and flora Disgusting cocktail for the gargling? Soaking in bathwater rich with contaminates Gargling the residuals squeezed off by humans Drinking from the waters these people have voided in Molesting myself in the drink and exploiting the public We are what you call disturbed. Into the tepidarium we retire to baths that inspire An invigorating relief of the nightmare - the life where man destroys everything that's right there Tarnished and stinking, a days work is done and now closed with the drinking of the essence of humanity The juice of the populace, the taste of profanity Into the public bath Aquatic hotbed of human diseases Crabs with tentacles, stabbing your testicles A goddamned bacteria trap Planaria digest and excrete the protists Spawning nitrogen, vital precipitation Fecal particles and the foam of ejaculate - enrichment A taste for the waste We walk through shallows of shit We're wading in it Urea, mucus and human jit We love the taste of it? Into the public bath Reservoir of human excretions The sweat and urine of a thousand men A goddamned bacteria trap Microbes making love to amoebas Spawning secondary human byproducts Dead skin cells, ejaculate and flora Disgusting cocktail for the gargling? We walk through shallows of shit We're wading in it Urea, mucus and human jit We're basted with it We walk through shallows of shit We're wading in it Sweat, sperm, diarrhea and spit We love the taste of it? 09.

10. Regret & The Grave Music by Josh Elmore Lyrics by Travis Ryan
What is this hell?
What have you done? Of all the things we've learned from ripping off this earth the quantities were met and indirectly led to death In the factories Teeming with ripe disease and on your bended knees you took it like a man!Regret rears its despicable head All those years of ingesting the dead Living your life with your hands painted red Gross remorse In this the final hour Now that you see what you've done The cancelled check of life and its bitter taste of dung The stress of consciousness In distress and blessing yourself with death Wolves use their cunning and stalk in the night We use machinery to exhibit destructive might They've only the skills adapt for taking their kill We hide behind the steel and are slaves to our will You, the consumer now consumed? ?and by your product your insides eaten! Quite ironic, don't you think? What have we done? We've let the foolish taint the air and land! Of all the things we've learned from ripping off this earth Plastic and mass created sewer spewing humanure In the factories Teeming with ripe disease and on your bended knees you took it like a man! Gross remorse In this the final hour Now that we see what we've done The cancelled check of life and its bitter taste of dung The stress of consciousness Death obsessed and making a mess Wolves use their cunning and stalk in the night We hide like cowards, with machines to magnify our sight They've only the skills ever evolving to kill We hide behind the steel and are slaves to our will You, the consumer now consumed? ?and by your product you will wither away! And I don't remember us starving to death? ?and I can't recall suffering through it all They've shown me some things that I'll never forget ?and I'll remind you when you're on your death bed This is the grave, this is regret. Look at this hell! Look what you've done In this the final hour Now that you see what you've done The canceled check of life and its bitter taste of dung In the factories Amidst the rats and fleas and on your bended knees you took it like a man! Gross remorse |
