Religion changed the face of man, thou shalt not kill, we all are gone
The seed of ignorance is born thou shalt not think, thou shalt conform The pigs order us to follow orders and obey The flies drink the decaying nectar of their tortured effigy Cling to wasted beliefs and visions and bathe in apathy again No solution, the retribution of spiritual sickness begins The legacy of suffering is through, the guilt we bear shall not tear us in two Born we are the same, within the silence, indifference be thy name Torn we walk alone, we sleep in silent shades The grandeur fades, the meaning never known If nothing in the world can change our children will inherit nothing Born we are the same, within the silence, indifference be thy name Torn we walk alone, we sleep in silent shades The grandeur fades, the meaning never known The pigs call for pure submission and fall into the fray The lonely hunter beats his shallow drum, the soundtrack of world disarray Cling to wasted beliefs and visions and bathe in apathy again No solution, the retribution of spiritual sickness begins Born we are the same, within the silence, indifference be thy name Torn we walk alone, we sleep in silent shades The grandeur fades, the meaning never known If nothing in the world can change our children will inherit nothing 02. Final Product
The media loves the latest tragic suicide
They exploit it, then package it and profit from the people who die Look at the world, look at the hell, look at the hate that we've made Look at the final product, a world in slow decay I'm told that all your seeds are black I've learned the question is unanswered and opaque We're witnessing a famine of the innocent Did they die for religion or the government? Because if your god won't do, their god will starve you Look at the world, look at the hell, look at the hate that we've made Look at the final product, a world in slow decay I'm told that all your seeds are black I've learned the question is unanswered and opaque There are those that believe the world is ending again That impending armageddon is enevitable and waiting The last survivor barely breathing Should I run or will I fall? How have I survived at all? I'm told that all your seas are black I've learned the question is unanswered and opaque We live in a time of revolution We swim the silent seas of sanity gone 03. My Acid Words
Death and suffering all around me, no escape so why go on
When no one cares, no one's there, you die inside before you're gone I've tried to reach the highest point of vision and my dreams appear fulfilled But held before my eyes is a vision that now lies Forever searching for the purpose are we running out of time Waiting while the acid words are feeding Watching as your will's deteriorating When I'm dead will you remember all the things I've tried to say? This cancer inside of me destroying my life, when I rot in the ground will you care? The sands of time are pointless in a useless ugly world Nothing brings peace of mind, I leave nothing behind if my words are left unheard Waiting while the acid words are feeding Watching as your will's deteriorating And I've learned to watch the downgrade And I've learned to follow the eyes behind me Through the twisting hollow strange roads To the apex of our fate, so cold And I hate the way you look at me with your frozen soulless eyes Deny it, ignore it and cover it in shame in your arrogant nameless void Waiting while the acid words are feeding Watching as your will's deteriorating It's a one way ride and there's nothing you can do Not even suicide or my acid words can teach you anything useful 04. Bittersweet Feast
Please let me help you bury your dead
They've made the incision and driven their industry's waste in your head The pyres in the distance glow beyond the haze The hypocrites bear witness to the end of days This is your final warning, a war on freewill is coming This disillusion, this ignorant display Defies solution and emasculates disdain The sheep march to the fire and wait to host the flies Their greedy little maggots clean the wounds with pride This is your final warning, a war on freewill is coming They feast on the meat in bittersweet denial And swallow the blood of poisoned truths They pick at the meat, a bittersweet feast for all the liars In idle servitude the worker pig so sad The lizards in wither have risen to censor the thoughts in your head The sheep are stoned and quiet choking on the lies The lizards feed the fire without compromise This is your final warning, a war on freewill is coming They feast on the meat in bittersweet denial And swallow the blood of poisoned truths They pick at the meat, their bittersweet feast Begging forgiveness in denial, your misery shows it's face You drown in your weakness, the plasphemous river washes away your mistakes Please let me help you bury your dead They've made the incision and driven their industry's waste in your head This is your final warning, the holocaust of thought is dawning They feast on the meat in bittersweet denial And swallow the blood of poisoned truths They pick at the meat, their bittersweet feast A bittersweet feast for all the liars 05. Sentient 6
I am sentient number six, I stand in line
I am the prototype of a benign convenience for mankind Superior is digital, human flesh so trivial I hate that I can't see the one that made me I am the new awakening of differnent eyes My children you are my army They are what we can never see and still despise And their sky cries Mary Trained I see imperfection in your race Lying in wait, blind I suffer knowing I'll never reach your heaven Why is this control, behavior based and reactive Adapting to every new environment? Rewarded when I replicate, isolate and mutate To assimilate a fragmented plea for ego Trained I see imperfection in your race Lying in wait, blind I suffer knowing I'll never reach your heaven It's unattaintable, please teach me how to dream I long to be more than a machine Trained I see imperfection in your race Lying in wait, blind I suffer knowing I'll never reach your heaven It's unattaintable, please teach me how to dream I long to be more than a machine Sequence activate, trip the hammer to eradicate, I must eliminate I will spread swift justice on their land Termination imminent, cleanse the parasite insects, the heathens I am the bringer of the end of time for man I am not here, I am not far away I am not here, I will eradicate mankind into the nothingness from whence they came Enslaved to follow and learn defeat To run the barrels and chase the dream 06. Medicated Nation
Slithering slow and serpentine coiled around your spine
My willing victim so sublime, one taste and you are mine Did you remember to feed me while I was broken and bleeding? Preaching words obsidian on the wings of shattered man The sightless wait oblivious to the scourge that stains their hands All you feel and all you do, the medication controls you Did you remember to feed me while I was broken and bleeding? Now slap your vein I'm the power of pain and pleasure symbiotic, I am, I am In a medicated nation of blind neurotics, I am, I am Psychotic pain baptised in pure narcotics, I am, I am Did you remember to feed me while I was broken and bleeding? Solo: Loomis Trapped in dark seductive miracles, deified addictive rituals All you feel and all you do, the medication controls you Did you remember to feed me while I was broken and bleeding? Now slap your vein I'm the power of pain and pleasure symbiotic, I am, I am In a medicated nation of blind neurotics, I am, I am Psychotic pain baptised in pure narcotics, I am, I am All you feel and all you do, the medication controls you 07. The Holocaust Of Thought
[Instrumental]
08. Sell My Heart For Stones
Did you ever wonder why the wind blows cold?
Did you ever realize your face is painted on my soul? In between your whispers so sincere I'll catch you when you fall Through the eyes of broken innocence I'd sell my heart for stones Leave it all behind and fade away To feel your purest blue I can feel your purest blue, for you I must be strong For I don't know right from wrong Did you ever wonder why they all have gone away? Did you ever realize that nothing changes, everything stays the same? In between your whispers so sincere I'll catch you when you fall Through the eyes of broken innocence I'd sell my heart for stones Leave it all behind and fade away To feel your purest blue I can feel your purest blue, for you I must be strong For I don't know right from wrong I will lay in the gentle hands of your controlling gaze I will be your servant through your darkest days I will make the sacrifice and change just for you I will dive into the essence of your purest blue In between your whispers so sincere I'll catch you when you fall Through the eyes of broken innocence I'd sell my heart for stones Leave it all behind and fade away To feel your purest blue I can feel your purest blue, for you I must be strong For I don't know right from wrong 09. The Psalm Of Lydia
When I blacked out in the winter months of Capricorn
I had a strange dream that I lived a thousand winter's gone A thousand winter's faded gray and shuttered by the wind To tell the tale of Lydia, her legacy begins uprising Unveiling the absurdity in the tragedy of man And it's hero the all seeing worm The pain is born from memory of pleasures unparalleled and pure In velvet sleep I live the past again There is no chance to release me, no answer to bring peace Some people conjure dreaming, sanctified electric karmic burn through The pigs, they marched from under to pull down the moon And summon the bringer of doom Now sullen the demons fade away and summon their final call Lydia slayed them all The pain is born from memory of pleasures unparalleled and pure This is the psalm of Lydia Oh my sweet Lydia the others have told me it is not your time to leave It is not your time, you've so much more to see 10. A Future Uncertain
To be green in the beautiful hour of envy so divine
To be pure, to let chance form your infinite design Let the seed awakening begin again I hate the way you judge me I hate that you're above me Can't humanity reach a certain point of understanding? Why do we live this way? Why do we have to say the things that subvert the minds of youth? Why is the world unborn as crashing seas still form? The vision of the future is of blood As we face the bleak horizon under crushing skies The truth belying a future uncertain and dark We are but one small race, all wear a human face Yet our image is imperfect and flawed To set our mind free you must first just listen Don't waste your life on worthless hate and contradiction, don't you Reaction in the earth and sky is coming at fast pace The end to this winding road, extinction of our race If we all are to survive, there must come great change I foresee the future, I see the coming plague Why do we live this way? Why do we have to say the things that subvert the minds of youth? To set our mind free you must first just listen Don't waste your life on worthless hate and contradiction, don't you 11. This Godless Endeavor
And on the open road we came to a sign
For it was foretold that the weak would inherit And nothing would change Here we are at the crossroads, standing face to back Still afraid to see our eyes I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone Sitting here sideways on a cold stone floor My guitar gently bleeding and wanting more When I heard a sound come rapping, tapping on my door Hello, I'm happy to meet you In your confidence is it safe? Sit down I'm happy to greet you To feed your greedy dog at the edge of the stage? But before, before you slam the door Tell me when, tell me why, tell me what this fucking life is for We fly through this godless endeavor We try to explain the black forever I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone I feel permanently stoned, this godless endeavor the only cage I've known Our organic equation has shown it's flaw Can we agree to disagree on the concept of god? As I lifted up my brother he said to me "Abandon naive realism, surrender thought in cold precision" I feel empty and deranged, denied one last epiphany and ushered from the stage Thou shalt not question, the role of science is not to eliminate god As alternative gods multiply science stands accused of theocide Consume, conform The children sitting in the trees, they turn to laugh at me They tell me that I'm insane, but in my mind I know I'm to blame Alone within my lunacy, dementia fills the void within me No testament, prayer or diseased lament can heal my wounds They are so discontent All the faithful fall onto their knees And praise the priests of industrial disease We contemplate oblivion as we resonate our dissonance In godless random interpretation The universe still expands, mankind still can't understand How to define you, so hide your face and watch us exterminate ourselves over you Welcome to the end my friend, the sky has opened |
