01. Cranial Tyrant

Music & lyrics by Klayton
Twisting and turning regurgitate
Mental conflict impressions rotate
Sway then persuade me counterclockwise
Inane reason spoils of demise

Better to neglect hypocrisy
than to accept catastrophe

Psychoanalyze intellectual divide

Cranial tyrant oppress and possess
Subliminal torment power you obsess

02. Telltale Crime

Music & lyrics by Klayton
Economy declines worldwide regression
Throwing within never to recover
Stock market crash broker ends the fall
From the nineteenth floor

Trade wars national debt producing
Paramount consequence
One system government
World domination omnipotent

One for all worldly wise
All for one telltale crime

Inflate contaminate the system frail
Internal deficit compiles
Truth combust propagate distrust
Driving in another nail

One for all worldly wise
All for one master mind

03. Prayers Of A Dead Man

Music & lyrics by Klayton
At night I just stare amid my self-destructive toys
Shouting to the sky is anyone up there
My eyes drip blood red a vow once made
I've come to dread this shame
This guilt I bear is killing me stone dead

Dead man

Something to regret a chance point in time we met
Caught in a momentary rush of devotion
My eyes drip blood red a vow once made
I've come to dread this shame
This guilt I bear is killing me stone dead

Dead man

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
This dead man's prayer do not forsake

Pray dead man

"Our objective is to save a life. If one life is saved .... we have accomplished....."

".... you men, we kill each other"

"I'm tired of endless mindless fighting, I'm tired of death."

04. Regressor

Music & lyrics by Klayton
Look deep into your eyes behold the burning flame
Sever unwanted ties within yourself detained
Emotional control revealing inner strength
Intensify

Vivid picture colorblind
Unexplainable decline
Sifting through alternatives
You antagonize
Organized insanity
More self-inflicted agony
Indecisive mind
Lobotomize

Faulty fires burning bright
Feeding mental parasite
Mediate between true reason
And invalid lie
Disregard your destiny
Embracing false humility
Infantile juvenile
Foolish genocide

Death and life intertwine

05. Enshrined

Music & lyrics by Klayton
For heresy lives were devastated
The name of God their penalty
Crusades geared for destruction
Millions paid for a perverted creed

White-washed relics enshrined
Stole the eyes from the blind

Thank God man's poor reflection of himself
In His image created perplexed
The church imitated cannibalism

Man's attempt to reach God
Futile ploy restricts the rod
God's attempt to reach man
Death to life connecting strand

In ignorance lives were extricated
Retribution for their belief
Leaders schemed to dominate
Barbaric hunger for misery

"Stand by for further ..... tactical alert now for ...... sector"

"Wake up!"

"Why am I being destroyed?"

"Hello?"

"Go to hell!"

06. Course Of Ruin

Music & lyrics by Klayton
As water casts a face the heart reflects the man
Reject your foolish pride before your soul is damned

Dominoe's dancing in the dark
Perpetual collision stark

Piece by piece the sky will fall
As you stammer to a crawl
Through your strength you try to prevent
Total destruction imminent

Never believe your eyes a liar bears no shame
Reject your foolish pride or wear a cursed name

As glass reflects a face motive reveals the man
Reject your foolish pride before your soul is damned

07. Descend

Music & lyrics by Klayton
Descend...

Portray an image of power and security
Foundations crumble at the base
Inner turmoil - Reflection read externally
Veil of lies attempts to hide our face

Descend...

Molten masses - In their image we are formed
Art of deception mastered skillfully
Decay of value - Stifled cry of the unborn
With open eyes - We still refuse to see

Respond - Arise - Nation - Divided

Descend...

Respond - Arise - Nation - Divided

Selfish syringe - Draining lifeblood from our veins
Pallid skin - Displays condition true
Struggling on - Oblivious to our own pain
Contented smiles - As we continue to,

Descend...

08. Deviate

Music & lyrics by Klayton
Bone on bone flesh war on flesh
Mortal brothers strive against each others hatreds mesh

Thou shall not kill
Peace frozen still
Release your hate
Deviate

Life expires blood cries from the earth
Innocent and guilty eyes behold our mortal curse

Fragile man our days are numbered few
Hand of peace or fist of hate the choice is up to me and you

"A car pulled up, and he hollered, 'You know me' and he has his hand like this, so when I ducked like this here he shot..How many shots were fired? Two, he shot the guy shot, and I ran like back here He shot the guy shot? ..............."

"Don't make me use this! One step closer I'm warning ya!"

"God has hate, now I have hate!"

"Why do you kill?"

"Now you've done it!"

"You forced me to use it!"

"You want to live in this lousy world?"

"If I had my way, here's how I'd rule the universe.
I'd eliminate 'em, I mean cross 'em off!
Get rid of 'em, destroy 'em, decimate 'em!"

09. Pale Reflection

Music & lyrics by Klayton
'It's not an easy thing to meet your maker.
What can he do for you?
Can the maker repair me?
Would you like to be modified?
I had in mind something a little more adequate.
What seems to be the problem?
Death. Death? Well, I'm afraid
that's a little out of my jurisdiction you...
I want more life' -Bladerunner

'It's too bad she won't live,
but then again, who does?' -Bladerunner

'What about the question of nuclear weapons .... we are testing'

'A new hope for humanity..a new world' -Bladerunner

'Time to die.'

10. Aggressor

Music & lyrics by Klayton
Look deep into your eyes behold the burning flame
Sever unwanted ties within yourself detained
Emotional control revealing inner strength
Intensify

Vivid picture colorblind
Unexplainable decline
Sifting through alternatives
You antagonize
Organized insanity
More self-inflicted agony
Indecisive mind
Lobotomize

Faulty fires burning bright
Feeding mental parasite
Mediate between true reason
And invalid lie
Disregard your destiny
Embracing false humility
Infantile juvenile
Foolish genocide

Death and life intertwine
