Tracks



01. Afterlife In Purgatory

This whole world's a homicide victim
No one cares for no one
Another spoke on the wheel of suffering
Punished for nothing
We lie, cheat and steal, for what?
For a knife in the back of trust
Crushed beneath the hands of slaughter
To a future without any hope
There are no saviours
There are no favours
Afterlife is purgatory
Chained by our own hypocrisy
Submerged in hate and fear
As we dawn upon a new age
Expression is rage
Child's cry beckoning
Day of reckoning
No use excusing
The answers are not there
No use pretending
That it gets any better than this

02. Submission

Fused with this
Systematically existing
To resist
Like pawns on a chess board
Power sadists
Engineering loss of hope
Fortune seekers
Treading you beneath their feet
Submission is your god
A karmic debt repaid in blood
Hate in excess
Feeds their will to make you weak
Empty shells cast into the fire
Submission is your god
It makes you feel safe in the notion
That you're nothing
Just to be used
Raped of being
The sterile tools that carved you blunt
Persecution
Just a frame of mind?
(repeat chorus)

03. Triple Six Suck Angles

Indelicate the stimulus
Screened revelation virus
Like a plague within our conscience
Humanity is not a process
Force fed our hallucination
To propagate in mass frustration
Swallow your choice of vice
Pretend that this is right
Our angels kiss the triple six
Free thought, free will what's wrong in this
Our angels kiss the triple six
Speak from your heart and you'll persist (Exist)
Not trying to judge one another
Without knowing inside each other
The real perversions not in sex
It's in censorship and theft
Sick and tired of programmed feelings
Towards subjects that have meaning
Aged old in prejudice
Just seems to me like madness
Can't seem to shake the world outside
Just seem to hide from the absurd
Sick and tired of programmed feelings
Towards subjects that have meaning
Aged old in prejudice
Just seems to me like madness
Can't seem to shake the world outside
Just seem to hide from the absurd

04. Delirium

Stuck in a stalemate
The struggle to breathe and live
We increase the dosage
To cope with the pressure
Free me from the pain
Never again
That's what we say

Delirium

Nauseous convulsions
Deflecting our fears
We stare at the answers
But swallow the questions
Take me away
Cannot resist
Day after day

Delirium

Life is hell
Bitterness is all I taste
Drug hazed memories
Of how I think I was

05. Pretenders Of The Throne

I reject your stance
And all your points of view
Come out from where you hide
And be who you want to
This double standard tease
Which set of friends to please
What morals to defend
Who not to offend
Pretenders to the throne
False Messiahs
Pretenders to the throne
Leave your safety
Who's to judge what rules
Somebody's sense of worth
The conflict in your eyes
Those blatant alibis I believe what I want to
My mind's my own
No compromise
No white lies

06. Slow Bleed Gorgon/pleasures Pave Sewers

Shattered pieces
Poisoned minds are quick to taste
Of lesser beings
Sedated into second place
Bludgeoning fever
To get ahead to screw the beast
Backs left bare
To scar with tracts of vain release
Pleasure pave sewers slaves
Pleasure pave liars snakes
Pleasure pave sewers slaves
Pleasure pave master fakes
Pushed to breaking
To think and breed and feel the same
Suppressed by shadows
Of who and what we shouldn't be
Twisted lairs
Debating lives as currency
Treacherous visions
Perfecting what should never be
We fall to our knees
To crawl before pain's altar
Choked to our pleas
To find nothing sacred

07. Ego Pawn

Sick of being used
Trapped inside this shell
Years escaping time
Fear reshaping lives
These ego pawns who call the shots
Torture architects of fate
Are we born to soil the rot
Ego Pawn
Memories fuel the fire
Have I got the strength
Resistance breeds acceptance
Impatience feeds reluctance
Show me the sign
Ego Pawn

08. The Dreams Are Scarificed

A race for time
Or so it seems to be
Stress outweighs
What pain I even feel
Can't decide If life is worth a shit
Shelter me
Before the vultures sing
This frightening vision is breaking me slowly
Belief is fading shaping my failure
People stealing promising nothing
Time not healing raping my future
The dreams are sacrificed
The dreams are sacrificed
Pushed aside
My heart is torn to threads
Faith subsides
My body feels like lead
On and on
Deceiving circles spark
Toss the coin
Or feed me to the sharks
This frightening vision is breaking me slowly
Belief is fading shaping my failure
People stealing promising nothing
Time is not healing raping my future
The dreams are sacrificed
The dreams are sacrificed
Lost all forms of respect
Just another lamb to the slaughter
Just a code to be misplaced

09. Tragic Faith

Chasing down and taking out
Another life, a personal theft
To live among the dead remains
Is tragic faith and tempting fate
The dotted lines and blotted frames
Betray the agony and rage
Lies a strategic blindly placed
Feed a nation's voyeur traits
Rumours bleed in every shape
Faking cause for no one's sakes
The dotted lines and blotted frames
Betray the agony and rage
The dotted lines and blotted frames
Betray the agony and rage
For all we know it could be us
Who's next to be the tabloid slut
The tragic faith is shedding tears
For all the pretence all the years
Caring when you should feel guilt
Demanding more blood to be spilt
For all we know it could be us
Who's next to be the tabloid slut
Chasing down and taking out
Another life, a personal theft
To live among the dead remains
Is tragic faith and tempting fate
The dotted lines and blotted frames
Betray the agony and rage

10. Darkness Of Ignorance

Shall we condemn ourselves
Knowing the shit that goes on
Fooling yourselves to the point
That you just don't belong
Bring me the head of the one
Who decides what is right
Then we'll exist to resist
And exist to persist
Unclean - Censor claims axe the choice
Obscene - Silence falls upon no voice
Controlled views, faceless acts butchery
We'll decide this is called maturity
Come out from the darkness of ignorance
The dirt ridden stench of censorship
Come out from the darkness of ignorance
This dirt ridden stench is choking me
Words are spoken often but are backed by nothing
Since dawn of time, hate, murder, rape and pain
Still we point the finger in the wrong direction
For years it seems to me they're hidden from blame

11. Salvation Thru Destruction

Outside looking in
The choices made
Neglecting sense
For so called happiness
Insane delusion
A web of tears
Destroying friendships
Forged from years
There's no salvation
No salvation thru' destruction
There's no salvation
No salvation
Compulsive lies
The questions asked
Pointless answers
The motives masked
Feel of betrayal
Respect and trust lost
Deceitful traitor
Was it worth the cost

12. Leech Eclipse

Death in the air, on the land, in the sea
Stockpiles of waste carving the holes in the sky
Conspiring a myth that for now all is well
Meanwhile all set for a sleigh ride to hell
Leech eclipse
Earth's bloodstained kiss
Eclipse
Millions of self-righteous wimps point the blame
It's our generation that ought to feel shame
Neglecting the fact that the damage is done
We've been here before and will be again
Leech eclipse
Earth's bloodstained kiss
Eclipse

13. Fever Landscapes

Seeds of aggression
Enemies that we cannot conquer
Demon possessions
Science feeds our eagerness
Greed for attention
In life the knife now is the savior
We disregard conception
Fever landscapes shape our heartaches
Media interest feeds the interest
Fever landscapes grow the sadness
Designs that twist our fertile minds
Wrath of addiction
Witness to their own mutation
Extracting the weakness
Journey's through the darkened path
