01. Dead Bury The Dead

You suffocate all
You're dying so await your fall
You're begging like a pig for crumbs
So lick the plate clean until your lips are cold and numb
Off with your own head. Change your footsteps.
Why do you choose to bury your father and sons?
Let the dead bury the dead; your father and sons

The dead bury the dead.
The knife is to your own neck. Follow me.
Taste the life. Leave all that is dead behind.
Dead bury the dead.

I am wretched skin in vain but I will not collapse
My foundations will not crumble or see decay
When the last candle burns out will you find your way?
Will you stumble? Will you regret your path; your name?
The dead bury the dead again, again, again.

Bury the dead.
The knife is to your own neck. Follow me.
Taste the life. Leave all that is dead behind.
Dead bury the dead.

Are you dying from inside?
Are you suffering?
Progress is a choice in life.
Face down, don't turn your back on me.
Where's your dedication? Your fight?
The annihilation of your pride.

I want! I want! I need! I need! And I want!
I want for you to open up your eyes
Envision all that is unseen.
You will follow all that is revealed.
You will follow because your light is growing dim.
You will fall in what is yours.

02. The Nameless King

Your life means nothing until you grasp the challenge of struggles.
Dwelling inside, pressure is a rising flood, stress.
I the nameless king. I am he who speaks in flames.
The form of who I was embracing me.

I'm sizing you up. I'm breaking you down.
You think I'm suffocating but I'm watching your drown.
I'm sizing you up. I'm breaking you down.
You think I'm suffocating but I'm taking you down.
Taking you down. Watching you drown

I've walked the endless mile. Can you feel the pressure?
My heart splits in two and it leaks forever. I can't wait. I suffocates.
It rises up constantly, choking inside of me, forever.

I am a fountain of pain.
I will expose myself to feed you all; A bleeding hole that drips in me.
Without you I will fall.
I will break myself in pieces so you can pick me up.
Believe it! Believe it! Believe it! It will mend my stitches shut.

I'm sizing you up. I'm breaking you down.
You think I'm suffocating but I'm watching your drown.
I'm sizing you up. I'm breaking you down.
You think I'm suffocating but I'm taking you down.

I've walked the endless mile. Can you feel the pressure?
My heart splits in two and it leaks forever. I can't wait. I suffocates.
It rises up constantly, choking inside of me, forever.

Rise up or take a bow.
Stand up. If not, then lay down.
Lay flat on your back - you will regret your past.
Break it up. Look around.
My face will be the last... Be the last.

I've walked the endless mile. Can you feel the pressure?
My heart splits in two and it leaks forever. I can't wait. I suffocates.
It rises up constantly, choking inside of me, forever.

03. Blood

All is wasted. Sacrifice.
Spill your blood. Within all is precious.
I am violence having sex with guns.
My bullets are my children piercing through your lungs.
Lace your boots up. Defend your brother.

I will rise up and take this oath in blood.
Marching on to increase the casualties.
Your world will fall apart like martyrs on their knees.
Spoon-fed. Overflow your cup.
They will hunt you down-spread you out to dry you up.

Blood - thicker than water
Blood - brethren of arms in slaughter
Blood - your wrath, your fate, your vision
Blood - cough it up to escape your body prison

Who do you will to be?
Parasite you consist inside of me
Inside of you, tumors will infest, devouring
Your genocide; parading in your flesh
So you're riddled with perversion and your tears (are) for my water.
A never ending scream, foreseeing glimpses of slaughter.

Blood runs through my veins. This is war for dying man.
All or nothing is to gain. Fearless!
Strike you down where I stand so I can spit on your face
Lay in your coffin so I can spit on your grave.
So give it up. All hope is lost.
Raise it up. My gain is your loss.
So open wide. Inhale your downfall.
I am judgment day.

04. Remove Yourself

Men of the Earth
You have soiled you're so foul
With lips of infected sullen
You will indulge yourself

So digest your consequences
The Serpent's venom runs inside of you
Your lust, desire will blind your senses
Whirlwinds of disaster for you
(For you)

Remove yourself
And take your breath away
Rebuild yourself
Before you fall away

And I will lift you from the bottom
And my hope will fade away
I must pick you up
So you can survive the day

Touch what you can't have
While I have what you can't touch for now
My friend, all of this will turn to ash

Who is your God?
Or is it a Devil?
Igniting your catastrophe
Your spine will bend
Spiritual anatomy

Remove yourself
And take your breath away
Rebuild yourself
Before you fall away

And I will lift you from the bottom
And my hope will fade away
I must pick you up
So you can survive the day

Rebuild who you are
And stay away
Remove all your scars
Stay away

Will you stay away

But you won't remove yourself

Remove yourself
And take your breath away
Rebuild yourself
Before you fall away

And I will lift you from the bottom
And my hope will fade away
I must pick you up
So you can survive the day

Remove yourself

05. 1000 Points Of Light

[Chapter 1]
Burn your fears away. Burn your bridges.
Rise up against the chains that bind you.
Remove your harness. Up, Down, Left, Right.
I am man that makes me strong. Faction.
Cut your life. Sing with me. Blood is power.
Stand with me. Die for honor with nail in hand,
I bleed for you... Bleed for you.

[Chapter 2]
I'll watch the palaces fall under my feet.
We'll devastate the walls. Pure hysteria!
Hairs will stand up on your neck-fecal matter
On their breath. So spit them out. They have come
To infiltrate with demons in their mouth.
Run, Hide. Hunted is the prey. Like lost sheep
We have gone astray.

[Chapter 3]
Run

[Chapter 4]
I will speak of the wars that lye ahead.
Your slavery is subliminal; The message forced.
Digging its teeth into your head. Bombarded with
Scenarios. This is the morning of the end.
This is the morning of the chaos that begins.
A scream forever leaking from your burning kin.
Illuminate the king. Forms of worship.

[Chapter 5]
Open your heart. Let me enter your kingdom.
You're running with arms apart. They lied to you.
They lied to you. Disguising what is real.
The gun is in your mouth. Stand strong and pull it out.
They will burn, burn!
They will burn, burn, burn!

06. Down

I cannot sit back, shed my broken skin.
Curse my pride, I react. Played yourself again.
Up down, and down again.
You live in a computer. You're an instant man.
Judged and told I can't. Cut your shallow hands.

How can I please all of your needs?
What do you see, when you see me?

I can't reach you.
Step back, heard your point of view
Stand up, lay down for no one.
Take a piece of me with you.
Step back, now that I know you.
I know you're down for no one.

I bow down to no one. You lack the faith.
Stand behind me, find your way.
You know you will decide
To move on with me, or step aside.
I could have lost my life
And I'm ready to risk it one more time.

How can I please all of your needs?
What do you see, when you see me?

I can't reach you.
Step back, heard your point of view
Stand up, lay down for no one.
Take a piece of me with you.
Step back, now that I know you.
I know you're down for no one.

I can't reach you.
Step back, heard your point of view.
Stand up, lay down for no one
Take a piece of me with you.
Step back, now that I know you.
I know you're down for no one.
I can't reach you.
Step back, heard your point of view.
Stand up, lay down for no one.

Take a piece of me
Take a piece of me
Take a piece of me with you.

08. I Am

I am man. I am dog. I am weak.
Cries for sympathy.
I am rock. I am strong. I am you.
You are the worst of me.
Saving me. Saving you.
Killing me. Killing you. Saving me.

Is this all that you wanted?
My scars for your veins.

Reshape me, I break the mold.
You made me. I made you whole.

I am dirt. I am filth. I am shit,
Cursing behind your back.
I am light. I am hope. I am the spine.
That's in your back.
Saving me. Saving you.
Killing me. Killing you. Killing me.

Reshape me, I break the mold.
You made me. I made you whole.

My eyes will see in, out.
Dimensions of the spirit, while you're dripping from the mouth.
In tongues, you lye. You fall. Get up!
Let me caress your inner thoughts
Before you heart is swallowed up.
I said get up. I am you in me.
Dirt for water. Blood on my teeth.
Lick my wounds not clean.

Reshape me, I break the mold
You made me. I made you whole
Reshape me, I break the mold
You made me. I made you whole

09. Vacant

[Chapter 1]
I'll break it down right in front of you.
I will tell you my story.
From birth, a bastard's point of view.
Occultic bloodline flowing through my family.
Was I rejected sperm [and] my mother your flesh cup in the line of fire?
The product of you drunken pig lust, you're the burden that you eat.
I'll push you off the highest mountain to penetrate your palace of hypocrisy.
The master of the breeding field has spilled his shame on me.
Hopeless; The vacant son. What was two, is down to one.
Turned your front and back to remove the spine.

[Chapter 2]
Molded bread filled with poison
Callused hands - tempers boiling. How dare you?

[Chapter 3]
Lie down. Unfaithful. Intrude.
Where did this come from? Your grip will devour.
You wolves. Your sacred lamb. Hypocrite. Worm.

[Chapter 4]
I will rise strong. Your lies inconsistent.
I will rise strong. Inconsistent.
Heathen! Drunkard! Half of man!
Lost dog! You killed me! You killed us!
Broken! Broken!

[Chapter 5]
Tears for nothing. Tears for you.
This made me strong. Where were you?
All is forgiven by me stranger.
When you died, did you eat your cancer?
You left so soon. Give me closure.

11. Mathematics

Agonizing
Global blinding has come in full
Suffocate the remaining percent
Subtract
All is expendable
A thousand points of heat
Bacteria son of disease
Mourning breath ammonia thirst quenching leach
Tapping the network of veins
Genetic harvest in vain
Licking the wounds uncontrollably
Systems of gain
Sour heart reeks casualties

All the bread has molded fungus dwells inside
Multiple
Estimates
Convincing with their graphic pride
The mask that suffocates bleeds in me
All is to believe but we are pawns poisoned
In quantities
The
Arsenic hysteria
Like fleas on a dog irritating
This
Microwave insomnia
No strength
No heart
No option
Bludgeoned with diversions
Concentrated dose
Exterminate the addiction
High vantage point
Chlorine infliction death
No microchip
Shall rest underneath my flesh
I'd prefer the obstacles of death
I will fill the tombs worthy of consequence

Epileptic cancer causing agents
Starved
Lack of nutrition
Will you live this life on calloused knees?
Neck broken in?
Particles of mass deception forced in
Corrosive sting
Stall
The all seeing eye sees all
The most relevant faction
Foundations fractured
Economic death
Sarcastic devotion runs in excess
Sew my lips and burn my opened eyes
One soul divine
The engines are running mind altering
The most vile of things
Man has ever seen
Inspiring
To know all these
Admiring
My eyes are leaking viciously
Dissecting the harsh anatomy

The devils suck the life out
Injecting America with blood disease
The reason and cause my friend, no room for vacancy
Decrease the numbers with crack and poverty
Methamphetamine
Cling to this massacre of excuses
Fully aware of the hidden agendas

Isolated
Silent warfare germ gestapo
All of the seeds condemned
Controlling and disabled
The greed infection in disguise
Behold united lambs of slavery
Rhythm of extremities amplifies
The source is nameless
