01. Sangre Por Sangre (Blood For Blood)

Sangre por sangre, blood for blood

Betraying a trust is a must in your mind
The agenda's just business as usual
Remember the imbecile the fire's they light
Cities smolder with the innocent victims
Democracy is hypocrisy, dictatorship is what we need
Because really what's the fucking difference?
So come on in and take a seat, and listen to the lies they love to preach
Because the truth would just be fucking senseless

Eye for an eye and blood for blood you better get your gun (blood for blood!)
For every action reaction, and death is business
Eye for an eye and blood for blood you better grab your gun (blood for blood!)
Can't take it back, what's done is done I want blood for blood

Ashes to ashes and dust to the death of what we were to what we've become
I'll put my faith into our heroes that fight for our lives, until the war is won
Dishonesty is given to me, anxiety is my disease
But, the privileged they've got it made.
So raise a glass to the one percent that have it all
Keep me in the shit and send me in the screaming fits of fucking rage!

Eye for an eye and blood for blood you better get your gun (blood for blood!)
For every action reaction, and death is business
Eye for an eye and blood for blood you better grab your gun (blood for blood!)
Can't take it back, what's done is done I want blood for blood

Quarter oppressors, it's too late for surrender
Time to pay your penance all together, forever
This spinning web of deception, lies begin to constrict
The walls of fate have a gate that's sealed around you
Brick by brick

Eye for an eye and blood for blood you better get your gun (blood for blood!)
For every action reaction, and death is business
Eye for an eye and blood for blood you better grab your gun (blood for blood!)
Can't take it back, what's done is done I want blood for blood

Sangre por sangre!
Blood for blood!
Sangre por sangre!
Blood for blood!

02. Demons In The Dirt

I'm pro pain and I'm pro rage
So fuck everything when I'm on the stage
I live to be pro everything that you're against

I drink like I bleed, I smoke the weed
I partied like a pro since I was a seed
Fuck the normalcy
I'll do it 'til I'm dead

If I'm in a rut down on my luck
Punch you in the face, take your money away
Because I'm Insane and I just couldn't give a fuck

Break all your shit and laugh in your face
When you're in a place and you need my aid
So selfish that I'll kill myself for fun

Put my demons in the dirt (down done)
In the dirt dead
Demons in the dirt (down done)
Fucking buried
Demons in the dirt (down done)
In the dirt dead
When I'm dead & done (in the dirt)
Fucking buried

You can be pro life but I'm pro death
And I'll be that way 'til my last breath
Wasn't who I was but it's just who I've become

I just grit my teeth as I start to seethe
All the motherfucking people that I can't believe
I don't feel complete unless I'm spilling blood

It's just a game that I love to play
When you make a mistake and you miscalculate
Then you break your leg I gotta laugh
I'm fucking nuts

I've got no respect for a world that's wrecked
And i won't accept all it's defect
It's all over finished, ruined, fucking done

Put my demons in the dirt (down done)
In the dirt dead
Demons in the dirt (down done)
Fucking buried
Demons in the dirt (down done)
In the dirt dead
When I'm dead & done (in the dirt)
Fucking buried
Demons in the dirt
When I'm dead and buried
Put my demons in the dirt
When I'm done
The demons in the dirt
When I'm dead and gone
Put my demons in the dirt
I'm pro rage

I love to hate I've got no respect
Fuck my fate I've got no regrets
There's no remorse for my recourse
When the world's in my way
I feel the weight and bring the hate

Put my demons in the dirt (down done)
In the dirt dead
Demons in the dirt (down done)
Fucking buried
Demons in the dirt (down done)
In the dirt dead
When I'm dead & done (in the dirt)
Fucking buried
Demons in the dirt
When I'm dead and buried
Put my demons in the dirt (down done)
When I'm done
The demons in the dirt
When I'm dead and gone
Put my demons in the dirt (down done)
I'm pro rage
When I'm dead and done in the dirt
Fucking buried
The demons in the dirt
Dead and done.

03. Soul Killer

Is it the size of the hammer?
Or the size of the nail?
That makes you think you're better
I'll take the wind out of your sails (fist to your jaw)

First thing's first, I go from bad to worse
Let's get that straight, right from the start
Fuck the day, fuck the dark and fuck the place that you came from

Alpha, Omega, you want it, come get it, my finger's on the trigger
Destruction, corruption, complete domination
I am the soul, I am the soul killer

Is it the size of the halo?
Or the span of the wings?
That makes your god bigger, or is that just what you think (my hand to your god)

Right from the jump, I couldn't give a fuck
About who or what you think you are
Black out the day, black out the sun and fuck the place that you came from

Alpha, Omega, you want it, come get it, my finger's on the trigger
Destruction, corruption, complete domination
I am the soul, I want your soul, I am the soul killer

Soul Killer

You sound the starting gun and I piss out your sun
I'm here to ruin everything you are
While you're being all you can be, I'll knock you off your feet and bring the storm that follows me while you're seeing stars

Alpha, Omega, you want it, come get it, my finger's on the trigger
Destruction, corruption, complete domination
I am the soul, I am the soul killer
Alpha, Omega, you want it, come get it, my finger's on the trigger
Destruction, corruption, complete domination
I am the soul, I am the soul killer.

04. Moth

I've been cast out, sequestered.
Pushed the fuck around.
Blindsided, beaten, locked up and bound.
Always thought I was human but maybe I was wrong.
I've been treated like an animal since the day I was born.
The wounds that I wear are the crown upon a king.
So heavy they lie, with all the pain that they bring.
My life is full of longing, but for what I'll never know.
I've been drawn in to the fire as I reap what I sow.

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll sell my soul to blaze
Like a moth to a flame.
(Like a moth to a flame)

The ruler of the kingdom that ends up the pawn,
So tired of thinking of where it all went wrong,
Friendships they come and go and sometimes they end,
Wouldn't dream in a million years that this would be one of them.
Faith in the life, belief to the end,
Failure's not an option, but the options exist,
I gave up my everything, I give till I bleed,
Take it all, take everything just take it from me

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll set my soul to blaze.

You're pushing me, I'm pushing back,
Falling down my heart attacks,
Compassion is lost,
No more hope, no more trust,
I tore it down and burnt it up,
All faith is gone.
Respect, devotion,
Dead,
Disgust, hate,
Lies
I'm not a hero, or a villain,
Not a god, I'm just a man,
Staring through the hourglass,
At the footprints in the sand,
I'm stripping off my armor,
My battles here are done,
Wave my white flag to surrender and fly into the sun.

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll set my soul to blaze.
Like a moth to a flame.
Moth to a flame.

05. Cross To Bier (Cradle Of Bones)

I'm suicidal and maniacal
To make it this Far's a miracle I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy
From the succubus to the incubus
From the non-believers to the bottom feeders
Their cross-hairs focused tightly on me
They all want a little piece of me, a tiny piece of me
Just take it all and leave me alone
Just throw me on the pyre
Gas it up and light that shit fire
And let me burn inside of my hallowed soul

So lyrical, it's criminal
So criminal, I'm institutional
So institutional that I'll never escape
So I pray the lord my soul to keep

Tear my off my cross to bier
In my coffin, so cold
Take me from this cross I bear
In my cradle of bones

I'm irrational and piratical
Got no patience for satirical fucking idiots that always strap me
I've got no trust
I'm here to bust all the deceivers and fucking cheaters
My sympathy tank bone dry on empty
They'll take what they can get
They'll take every little bit
Everything that I hold dear to me
So fuck 'em all
The liars, string 'em up and light that shit on fire
Then we cut 'em down and bury 'em deep

So lyrical, it's criminal
So criminal, I'm institutional
So institutional that I swallowed the key
And I pray the lord my soul to keep

Tear my off my cross to bier
In my coffin, so cold
Take me from this cross I bear
In my cradle of bones

I'm always the one high in the tree top
Life's hurricanes blow, but my will is a rock
So when the bough breaks and it all falls apart
Just carve your initials into my blackened heart

So lyrical, it's criminal
So criminal, I'm institutional
So institutional that I'll never escape
So let me go for Jesus sake

Tear my off my cross to bier
In my coffin, so cold
Take me from this cross I bear
In my cradle of bones
Rip me off my cross to bear
Buried in a shallow hole
Take me from this cross I bear
In my cradle of bones.

06. DMF

We are DMF's
Breaking you down, jumping you in
Down Motherfuckers
We live by a code, to live in the pit
DMF's branding the rules
We'll step your neck
Down Motherfuckers
We're lighting a fuse, coming to wreck
We are DMF

Feels like it was just yesterday
That we started this family
I had to facilitate a new order
The height of honest, built on integrity
This society, few are worthy
This passion can't be stripped away from me
Light every other fucking thing
Fused together, we press on
No one can break this bond
Strength so strong, we own, as one

DMF's
Breaking you down, jumping you in
Down Motherfuckers
We live by a code, to live in the pit
DMF's branding the rules, we'll step your neck
Down Motherfuckers
We're lighting a fuse, coming to wreck
We are DMF

It's more than just a little flame
That burns inside of me
I had to instigate, initiate
A new level of loyalty
The highest priority
The standard of trust in me
My call to duty
All for one and one for all, we are the alpha dogs
We're put together, all together, and the pieces fit

Strength so strong, we own, as one

DMF's
Taking you down, jumping you in
Down Motherfuckers
We live by a code, to live in the pit
DMF's branding the rules, we'll step your neck
Down Motherfuckers
We're lighting a fuse, coming to wreck
We are DMF

You people are all the fucking same
I'm changing the rules, and raising the bar, this ain't no game
We are 1, 1 so put your horns up
We are 1, 1 so put your fists up
We are 1, 1 so put your horns up
We are DMF, so get the fuck up

DMF's
Breaking you down, jumping you in
Down Motherfuckers
We live by a code, to live in the pit
DMF's branding the rules, we'll step your neck
Down Motherfuckers
We're lighting a fuse, coming to wreck
We are DMF
We are DMF.

07. Gift

It's always been as good as gone
It never had a chance, not even right from the start
Even if it had a shot in the dark
It was still just a fireplug without a spark
I think it's had about all it can take
They'll make goddamn sure of it so make no mistake
Just put another stitch in the scar
It's just another broken dream from a burnt out star
It's you, it's me, fuck it, fuck me

Hard rockin', 12 gauge, charge, punch, full of rage
Pay back, it owes
Pain, bruise, scar, maul, maim
For all the hell it's been through, this is a gift for all of you
Hard as nails, fight, thrash, slam, brawl, skulls collapse
Broken soul, this is the end
So fuck it all, it's over it
For all the hell you put it through, this is a gift to all of you

So tired, so sick of it all
It tried to break free, but then they put up a wall
It was too washed up, too fat and too old
It had a hard existence and it's taken its toll
Tried to make a difference but the destiny failed
It climbed the stairway to heaven just to end up in hell
You can't see the light when you live in the dark
Another broken winged angel with a broken heart
It's you, it's me, fuck it, fuck me

Hard rockin', 12 gauge, charge, punch, full of rage
Pay back, it owes
Pain, bruise, scar, maul, maim
For all the hell it's been through, this is a gift for all of you
Hard as nails, fight, thrash, slam, brawl, skulls collapse
Broken soul, this is the end
So fuck it all, it's over it
For all the hell you put it through, this is a gift to all of you

Square peg, round hole
Don't matter if you fit
Your life is what you make it
Split lip, black eye
Don't matter how it looks, it just matters how you wear it
It's you, it's me, fuck it, fuck me

Hard rockin', 12 gauge, charge, punch, full of rage
Pay back, it owes
Pain, bruise, scar, maul, maim
For all the hell it's been through, this is a gift for all of you
Hard as nails, fight, thrash, slam, brawl, skulls collapse
Broken soul, this is the end
So fuck it all, it's over it
For all the hell you put it through, this is a gift to all of you
This is a gift to all of you.

08. Hush

You pray for quiet,
Inside you head the screams won't silence;
I remember those days...
The terror past our home; the fear that's in your bones,
It just won't go away... NO...

The strangle holds, the insulting names,
The world of shit around his fist; the nose to nose beer stinking breath.
Thrown down onto the floor, so battered, bruised and sore
Choke down on the truth of it, and touch it until you break your neck

Hell's where I was born! Hell's where I was raised,
This hell is where I'm from and this hell is where I'll stay.
The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
Just be still and pray... and let the noise just fade away.

Retain to violence;
Atop your heart like a secret closet,
So no one can penetrate...
You just can't stand the touch; affection weighs too much,
You push everyone away from...

The reckoning! The bitter stings,
Whipped so bad I pissed myself; still with a beating stub held belt
If this reminds you of home, you better know you're not alone
Hold the gun up to my head, I'll pull the trigger on myself!!!

Hell's where I was born! Hell's where I was raised,
This hell is where I'm from and this hell is where I'll stay.
The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
Just be still and pray

These are the memories... In me
You didn't want to know! You didn't want to know!
These are the memories we keep
We don't want to show! We don't want to show!
By no you need to know, you're not alone

Hush is all I need, hush the misery;
Hush belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
Hell's where I was born! Hell's where I was raised,
This hell is where I'm from and this hell is where I'll stay
The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
Just be still and pray... and let the noise just fade away...

09. Say When

Say when!

We're outlaws wanted dead or alive
Under the cover of a blood red sky
Bring a knight to a gunfight and we still win
Pale horse is coming, retribution for sin
Skin that smoke wagon
I said throw down, boy
You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed

If you want to die, say when
If you want to play for blood, just say when
Say when

Domination to anything that's in our way
Life mowers are coming and stocking the graves
It's futile to run and there's nowhere to hide
So get down on your knees and pray for your life
Should I hate him? He reminds me of me
Now I know I hate him
So now it's time to bleed

If you want to die, say when
If you want to play for blood, just say when

This is how
The war is won
Cultivate the blood
That we feed on
Sanguis
Credat apella non ego
Eventus stultorum magister
In pace requiescat
I want your blood
I want your soul
Do you wanna play for blood?
I'm your huckleberry
Sanguis
Credat apella non ego
Eventus stultorum magister
In pace requiescat
Just say when.

10. Black December

Dear black December,
I'm writing in this eulogy
I don't wanna remember, all I wanna do is forget.

'Tis the season of giving
But to others soles spare me
No reason for living, because your curse ain't over yet.

If I had a dime, for every tear I cried

All you've ever done is tie my noose, take my dreams.
All you ever do is tear my up, break my wings

I offer my surrender, cold cruel December
Just keeps on, keeping on
I'm on the dark side of the dawn
Just waiting for the end,
Of black December

Cold black December

Dear Black December,
Your cold is strangling me
Stuck inside the cinders
So you can not tell my distress.

'Tis the season of darkness
So you can keep everything
Your super sale and the silly cheese balls the falalalala idiots

If I had a dime, for every tear I cried

All you've ever done is tie my noose, take my dreams
All you ever do is tear me up, break my wings

I offer my surrender, cold cruel December
Just keeps on, keeping on
I'm on the dark side of the zone
Just waiting for the end
Of black December,
Cold black December,
Cold black December,
Black December

Look, please help me
Please help me get away
Oh, please help me
Through these black December days

There is no light, inside the black
Forge ahead, no turning back
Decembers day,
Decembers bad,
Decembers cruel,
Decembers black

All you've ever done is tie my noose, take my dreams.
All you ever do is tear me up, break my wings

I'll offer my surrender, cold cruel December
Just keeps on, keeping on
I'm on the dark side of the dawn
Just waiting for the end
Of black December

Cold black December

All you ever do is tear my up, break my wings.
