01. I Can't Hear You

Scream for me from the depths of hell
Rising up with hate
The louder the better
Till my ears begin to bleed
Cause this is just what I need!

I can't hear you
From the left to right
The circle keeps turning so
Stand up and fight
I can't hear you
From the front to the back
As you're gasping for life
Slipped away in a panic attack

Get on your feet and raise your fist
As in a state of bliss
Scream as you rage
And break out of your cage
Cause silence is deafening!

I can't hear you
From the left to right
The circle keeps turning so
Stand up and fight
I can't hear you
From the front to the back
As you're gasping for life
Slipped away in a panic attack

Bleed for me as you take a breath
No time to hold your tongue
Let me hear you scream our name
Bonded By Blood we arise

I can't hear you
From the left to right
The circle keeps turning so
Stand up and fight
I can't hear you
From the front to the back
As you're gasping for life
Slipped away in a panic attack

I can't hear you
We can't hear you
I can't hear you
We can't hear you
I can't hear you
We can't hear you
Let me hear you

02. Shepherds Of Rot

Music & lyrics by Bonded By Blood
Since the dawn of time we've been
At their mercy falling to every plague
Vicious vermin with the stench of rot
They have thrived on human waste
Infection spreading disease baring
They're lurking in our foundation
The epidemic takes control
And nearly destroys us all
No protection from infection
No way to escape
The curse of skaven has followed humans
To anywhere they live
Spread the disgust as they multiply
Our world belongs to them
Resilient creatures with demon-like features
Thriving and feeding as we sleep
Imperialistic animal instincts
Engulfing the world in flames

Bare the plague of vermin rage
Shepherds of rot come to claim
Rats are storming disaster forming
Shepherds of rot rise again

Anthropomorphic clan of pestilence
A rabid chaotic race
Weaponizing a new disease as they
Please the great lord of wrath
With nails and teeth and flesh and bone
All enemy will be overthrown
There's no point to reason
With malevolent gods
They just do as they're told
Until everything's gone

Bare the plague of the vermin rage
Shepherds of rot come to claim
Rats are storming disaster forming
Shepherds of rot rise again
Spilling from out of the sewage
The wrath of a new age
Upon us as dark descends
Crumbling the former foundation
Of civilization is left in disarray
Spilling from out of the sewage
The wrath of a new age
Upon us as dark descends
Crumbling the former foundation
Of civilization as left in disarray

03. The Aftermath

I was not informed
I was not made aware
Of what horrors lie above us
In the blacked air
Emerging for the vaults
Of which we have dwelled
The ruin of our nation
Piercing with despair

Emptiness consumes you
The ruins here you can't deny
They're dying in pain
I simply can't explain
Loss of words can't think straight
All life here is gone
I simply can't explain what has become
The aftermath

Tearing from the blindness of the outer light
The rays of sun have robbed me of my sight
Only for a moment I am horrified
Everything is clear now
I must survive

Emptiness consumes you
The ruins here you can't deny
They're dying in pain
I simply can't explain
Loss of words can't think straight
All life here is gone
I simply can't explain what has become
The aftermath

The ruins lie in darkness
The air is blacker than my soul
The stench of rotting corpses
The bones are proof of pure demise

The sun is covered for a moment
Panic is what you see
Ground is breaking where you stand
Nowhere you can be
Tidal waves black out the skies
Frozen by fear before you run
Fires that burn all that lives to the ground
There's no escaping demise
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to hide
The aftermath
A dystopian fear

04. Crawling In The Shadows

Like a full-on savage
He is lurking in the night
Lack of human intellect
Prowling in the shadows
He is waiting for the feast
An uncontrolling hunger to be fed

You can't stop me
You will fear me

Conditioned for the slaughter
Waiting for the kill
Evolution set back howling like a beast

Hiding in the shadows
Crawling in the night
His mind a psychotic wasteland
A conscious will to destroy the light
Hiding in the shadows
When he knows it's time to feed
His mind a psychotic wasteland
Built for devouring all he needs

You can't stop me

Hiding in the shadows
Crawling in the night
His mind a psychotic wasteland
A conscious will to destroy the light
Hiding in the shadows
When he knows it's time to feed
His mind a psychotic wasteland
Built for devouring all he needs

Once a dying imbecile
Now a mutated freak
Spewing out of his vital signs
Rotting yet alive
Animal-like putrid pile
No denial of what you see
A lust for human flesh that will not end

Left here to die in an acid bath
Reanimated by a chemical past
Lay waste to all gone without a trace
No identity left as I remove your face

You will fear me

05. In A Wake

The clock is ticking the hours near
Insanity whispers in my ear
It's time to go get on this train
To the fields of torture
To the fields of pain
In my seat and close my eyes
Embrace my fate as I take the ride
From this point there is no return
Into eternal fire
Where my soul will burn
Burn

In a wake of this total destruction
I'm awake but I feel
I'm trapped within a dream
I cannot make up for
All the wrongs I've ever done
It's too late now
There's one way spiraling down
Spiraling down

Into the pits of hell
I'm spinning out of control
Where the time is frozen
In this eternal cell

In a wake of this total destruction
I'm awake but I feel
I'm trapped within a dream
I cannot make up for
All the wrongs I've ever done
It's too late now
There's one way spiraling down
Spiraling down

For my pride I will be punished
In the most degrading way
Anger and lust
My punishment is to decay
Gluttony aecidia
Consuming everything
Through envy and greed
I'll be disfigured

In dark surrounding I gasp in fear
Relocate my destination unclear
Passing life before my eyes
What everything was and
Then memories die
And now the air is fire in the atmosphere
The burning flesh the screams I hear
The cries of hate the cries of pain
Driving me insane

In a wake of this total destruction
I'm awake but I feel
I'm trapped within a dream
I cannot make up for
All the wrongs I've ever done
It's too late now
There's one way spiraling down

06. Repulsive

Obsessive
Is what you have become
Can't you see it
It's to the point your mind is numb
Repulsive
Is what you are to me can't you stop
And see you're bringing me
Disorder

Disorder gives way to chaos
You're sickening me
Your mind is weak
Your pride is dead and gone
I can't believe the things you say

It's not just you it's what's in your head
And how you've been conditioned
Raised on lies and filled with disgust
Your intelligence is missing
It's hatred that is blind
You'd learn if you would listen
A victim of circumstance
His ignorance has blissed him

You're repulsive
Just stay away and leave me be
World repulsion
I can't believe the things you say
You're repulsive
Think again before you speak
World repulsion
Spreading lies and stupidity
You're repulsive
World repulsion
Spreading lies and stupidity
You're repulsive
World repulsion
You're repulsive
World repulsion

Oozing with hatred for mankind
I feel I have crossed the line
Spreading disgust my anger is a must
There is no reasoning why
I can't explain the repulsion you bring
You are the scum of the earth
Within my frustration I'm alienated
You're taking and not giving back

You're repulsive
Just stay away and leave me be
World repulsion
I can't believe the things you say
You're repulsive
Think again before you speak
World repulsion
Spreading lies and stupidity

07. Among The Vultures

Cast away by my brothers
Stripped of all I know
Left to die and decompose
A million miles from home
After all is said and done
I commence to walk alone
Walk till I fall on broken bones

Circling around me
Waiting to pick at my flesh
Walking through the desert
They seem to know my fate
With every step I take
My wounds create pure agony
Sun is beating at me
Slowly picking me apart
Among the vultures
Is where I will lay
Led to the devour with no strength
I kick them away
Vacant eyes pierce
At my dying remains

Among the vultures
Their claws are in my skin
My flesh is hanging from their mouths
But I feel no pain
I am waiting to slip away
The sounds of misery
Decay away into the dirt
Among the vultures
Refusing to submit

09. Restless Mind

We fall victims to a restless mind
Sleep deprived until the end of time
We fall victims to the restless mind
The burning sickness in my mind

We fall victims to a restless mind
Sleep deprived until the end of time
We fall victims to the restless mind
The burning sickness in my mind

The wave of distress
Will rise up from their nest
And begin questioning
Where are the answers and the solutions?
What was I asking again?
Who is to blame for a mind that's in pain
Why must this happen to me?
And should we think
And what should we know?
There's only one way to explain
I toss and turn but I still cannot sleep
My thoughts have poisoned me
Lying in a useless slumber
I keep awakening

We fall victims to a restless mind
Sleep deprived until the end of time
We fall victims to the restless mind
The burning sickness in my mind

No one will answer to us

So much quarrel in my head
It never seems to end
I know I have lost myself
But maybe I'm insane
So many thoughts come into play
I don't know what to say
I just cannot answer to
The voices anymore

10. Left Behind

Two eyes now stare upon me
In a realm of Nothingness
Mobilizing through this wasteland
In devastation's misery
I am searching high and low
For salvation from damnation
Last chance for survival
The code is no man left behind

Into the darkness
Where your fear resides
We will not be left behind
Run for your life
They won't hear your cry
We will not be behind

Enter to this realm
Oblivion's gates are open wide
You cannot prepare for
This extermination of time
Locked inside dimension of
Never-ending chaos
The only last thread of hope
Is to fight for your life if you can

Into the darkness
Where your fear resides
We will not be left behind
Run for your life
They won't hear your cry
We will not be behind

All across the wasteland
The smell of rotted fools
Wither away your spirit
Crushing you by the soul
Destroying all your will to live
Won't you meet your doom
Among this gruesome carnage
The sands of time
Have torn you to shreds

11. Killing In The Name

Music by Rage Against The Machine
Killing in the name of!
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

Killing in the name of!

And now you do what they told ya
But now you do what they told ya
Well now you do what they told ya

Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

Killing in the name of!

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya!

Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Come on!

Yeah! Come on!

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Motherfucker!
