We share the tale, another boy amongst the masses
His name was Billy and he liked to get high A normal guy until the green-skin apocalypse A do or die There must be something in the water (besides fluoride and shit) Where he lie, where he lie He threw that gaping brain asunder When he realized, when he realized It's coming down! We've sown thrones and brought the kings down to knees Hello, here we are, salutations And every day that you wake is a gift that you take from the gods That's right! You came from the trees and we alter the genes Here you are All you fuck with is wages You had the day but you pissed it away I think it's time that we show our ways! Now we shed that violence all over Let mayhem in the streets From the mountain top to oceans We own your every need It's coming down! With every breath that we take, we can hear that sound Somebody needs a reaction to stay on the ground With every breath that we take, we can hear that sound A green-skin apocalypse A do or die So Billy heeds the call of fathers Release high Through these eyes Embraces the chi and he praises the weeds Holding out for the day he can face them And every day that he trains is a slap in the face to the gods God damn Shutting out politics Viewing beings as equals Ain't it funny how that makes sense? You had the floor, but you gave it a bore Now it's equal Can we clean that slate? Now shed that violence all over Let mayhem in the streets From mountain top to oceans, we own your every need It's coming down! Somebody needs a reaction to stay on the ground It's coming down! Follow a trail of the ones who bleed the masses Follow behind the reptilian eyes A normal day in the green-skin apocalypse A do or die There must be something in the water Where he lie, where he lie He threw that gaping brain asunder When he realized, when he realized National alliance and he leads the fight No class, no race, just fucking violence in their eyes A plan for human survival takes to flight The good that's left and all we cherish stands to die Is this the end of all we know? They all float Is this the end of all we know? Wasted our lives for what? Float away Do we feed the reaction? Do we stay? Do we all float away? Do you think you know who you are? Did you think you had it all worked out well? And who could believe... those dead-eyed soldiers Red sky, rain fall The winter beams no beauty Just cold-eyed monsters and bare branches You can wail to the moon, but that'll just make things worse They see you They see me They see all No children in the streets Where do they play when freedom here has been revoked? The ground which all their fathers soaked No medicine The scarcity of nourishment is evident And where's our god? Have we seen that side of heaven yet? No Rich, poor Clutching to their sheets in horror Is there an answer? No. Is there somebody who can take away all the present dismay? Bury the light Pray through night Mayhem in the streets No order Is there an answer? No. Is there somebody who can take away all the present dismay? Bury the light Pray through night You've buried that, buried that light Now pray through night What has come down is littered all around in your sight It's littered in your sight The claim they stake A land from us they take The claim they stake, they stake A land from us they take, they take The craft he shakes A race within his wake Victory alone became his above the soil we know A grave is laid A man within his cage Victory alone became his down in the soil he owns Soil we know becomes our own home Soil we know becomes our own home Now we're staring at the ground together This is not the first time nor the last time Soil we know becomes our own home (Now we're staring at the ground together.) Now we're staring at the ground together Soil we own becomes ours Order back in what we know Soil we own becomes ours Now one with the soil we own Soil we own becomes ours Order back in what we know Soil we own becomes ours Now one with the soil we own Soil we own 02. Blood Eagle
We come for war
King of the north and Norse With drums beating, screams repeating and the hammer force of Thor Surrender not enough The christian seed will sing amongst the soil of trees From the sea is the destroyer From the sea is the eagle drenched in blood Blood eagle is the destroyer Blood eagle will set the wicked free Rip the body from the bone now Spread the heavens wings Show Valhalla glory and memory Let the christians sing Let 'em sing Let out the roar Barbaric to the core A storm brewing All our doing for Odin's at the door The spoils are not enough We'll let 'em bleed The moon takes everyone tonight The Christians sing How they sing amongst the broken wings From the sea is the eagle drenched in blood A soul descending swiftly The burning stench of afterlife No rays from heaven Only high sun A soul descending swiftly The burning stench of afterlife No grace from heaven And no son Pleading to the sky once more Weeping for the self For the abandoned children of Christ have been laid to waste on the shelf Pour out the tide of Valkyries The land is ours to claim No man or woman escape the fire Now they can sing Now sing! The tide of Valkyries We come for war King of the north and Norse With drums beating, screams repeating and the hammer force of Thor Surrender not enough We'll let 'em bleed The moon takes everyone tonight We come for war 03. CHVRCH BVRNER
A loving priest
A lonely town Everybody wants a piece of it now There's a static and it's alive in the battleground Blow the horn and then we wait for the sound Step back on the stair to black They all need a piece of it They all want something The filthy lies Our people they fantasize Hold the light Reach for life No sacrifice No offer in sacred rite Bow for one or for none We'll burn them until the end Cross on top of it Men bow down and snap the neck for it Hang 'em high The population in a rack now Looking to overcome it somehow Flirting with the conversion A dirge within the confines Relieve it somehow Soaked in red toe to head Deathbed desire Fire One god For the one God Everywhere there's one god For the one God Everywhere the burning of our gods Open up the heart or die We'll burn them until the end Cross on top of it Men bow down and snap the neck for it Hang 'em high The filthy lies Our people they fantasize Hold the light Reach for life No sacrifice No offer in sacred rite Bow for no one or for none They've got 'em pulling in a rack now Soaked in red toe to head Deathbed desire Fire 04. Garden In The Bones
Mercy like a gun
When you've come undone I've awoken in the hour That receives no one The sound of a tribe Will shake me out until sunrise The heat of tomorrow Released as the wind blows A beating stare from all the tribe No sleep tonight The howl from below The wolf and the soaring crow Am I losing control? Am I losing all of control? All spirits entrance I toss and turn in no romance From six under the grass The prison breaks like glass Stripped of all the air in my lungs now Flee from the walls, so alone Stampede in the room like a buffalo Raise me up in my throes The howl from below The wolf and the soaring crow Am I losing control? Am I losing all of control? All spirits entrance I toss and turn in no romance From six under the grass The prison breaks like glass Upon the burial lie thieves of their past Firewater, tenacious Upon the burial ground Upon the burial ground Between the living and the dead we move Between the living and the dead we all move Shift all placement but they're sifting you Between the living and the dead we all move The claim we stake A land within our wake A garden in the bones A headdress down in the soil we own, whoa We build it on the bullshit Or build it upon the burial A garden in the bones A headdress down in the soil we own, yeah Stripped of all the air in my lungs now Feeling so alone Stampede in the room like a buffalo Feeling so low (whoa oh) Pull out all the ground from below You've, given quite a show Stampede in the room like a buffalo Raise me up in my throes The howl from below The wolf and the soaring crow Am I losing control? Am I losing all of control? All spirits entrance I toss and turn in no romance From six under the grass The prison breaks like glass Upon the burial lie thieves of their past Firewater, tenacious Upon the burial ground Upon the burial ground Upon the burial ground Between the living and the dead we move (We move) Mercy like a gun 05. It's Only Smiles
We've all got those things crawling under what they perceive
We know sharp fangs and they chew in the tide alone My gut is telling me, oh, it's telling me why She'd rather see a man up than me under Rip a hole in my life, but no matter the things I do, never get over it I said goodbye from a place so far I'm under the truth Because words mean nothing to fleeting youth Rip a hole in my life when it's bringing me back to you I've been trying to work it out Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds Keep it on the ground I don't wanna be, but just carry on and smile on through it Death is true and I'll be missing you (I'll be missing you) Advice is not always right So I've gone to tread my ways The path I've laid out is tied We're always meant to shine You left a lot of grief Now it's bleeding out my teeth Shot holes in every stone heart, oh The tones are on repeat, yet nothing's filling me It's on my chest and you're in this art My gut is telling me, oh, it's telling me why She'd rather see a man up than me under Rip a hole in my life, but no matter the things I do, never get over it I said goodbye from a place so far I'm under the truth Because words mean nothing to fleeting youth Rip a hole in my life when it's bringing me back to you I'll work it out Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds Keep it on the ground I don't wanna be, but just carry on and smile on through it Death is true and I'll be missing you Death is true and I'll be missing you I think I'll just smile through it all for you I've been trying to work it out Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds Keep it on the ground I don't wanna be, but just carry on and smile on through it Death is true and I'll be missing you 06. Follow Your Ghost
Embrace the doorway when everything's fading away
Take a breath, take time A poet to die and you'll fall in love with a hero in the fire So fuck it, fall back The shore will dry up on this day You'll find the perfect lie Blood ink Dead end is calling Tomorrow is forever away They'll never forget Dead end is calling Tomorrow is forever away They'll never forget They'll never forget Now paint the door red They'd never mistake the meaning Blood ink Ready to lie dead and fall in line with the number 27 So fucking fall back The shore will dry up on this day You'll find the perfect high Blood ink Dead end is calling Tomorrow is forever away They'll never forget No brain No heart Just rotting legacy All the little stab wounds in that ego scream lobotomy So quickly it came In an instant it is gone The bloody trail of fame and fortune has drained that life, of that life It bled you dry, bled you dry, it bled you dry No push no pull No crucible The pandemonium is high No brain No heart Just rotting legacy All the little stab wounds in that ego scream lobotomy It bled you dry, and now the sun has set They'll never forget They'll never forget Tear the road in two Fate won't control you Splitting soul ensues Failing completion Not whole This world is hunting me (Fate won't control you) Splitting soul ensues Failing completion Not whole ... Red waves crash upon the shore of you The precipice White knuckle fist It's all on your side So cut low, because there's no tomorrow... Oh, how your hero falls The corpse will swing in all it's glory Remembering the love once shared in life, but now it's over Drink! Blow! Chemicals will rise so I can ease the guilt from the escape So cut low! Fuck! Draining all the blood Your hero falls! It bled you dry, bled you dry It bled you dry, it bled you dry, bled you dry The pandemonium is high! 07. Crush
We are the earth
We are the sky Immortalized We are the body and the mind The ancient tribe If we could only stop the beating Keeping our pulses from retreating We are the heart One vicious heart Don't let it die A piece of us has shifted sideways And all dignity slips away A priest, a god live in your beliefs An escape from what still remains You can't arrest in the peace when violence is no use We take the measures so fuck the poison that's slowly killing you When living life is a feat and nothing's right with the youth You drink the poison or pour it out 'cause it's slowly killing you We are the earth We are the sky Immortalized We are the body and the mind The ancient tribe (We are the ancient tribe) If we could only stop the beating Keep our pulses from retreating We are the heart One vicious heart Don't let it die Don't let it die Die, die Don't let it die Die, die We are the heart One vicious heart Don't let it die We are the earth We are the sky Immortalized Further we move, the less we are Further we pull, the spool of shit we find Further we move, the less we are Further we pull, the thread of shit unwinds Forever falling forward Relapse Elastic on the timeline Regress Rewind We push We pull Cast a vote for a glass half full Build it up for the afterlife We are the earth We are the sky Immortalized We are the body and the mind The ancient tribe (We are the ancient tribe) If we could only stop the beating Keep our pulses from retreating We are the heart One vicious heart Don't let it die 08. Sentient Glow
Fake it
Our way of life so simple Thinking we have it all A choice we've made Embrace the world in vain and shun the true human calling It's only a matter of time before the waves consume us all The gods will show no favor for what we are Should I accept this fate? Or maybe we can make an escape Your life is what I need and one I'll surely save Days they pass Constructing a path to the stars bending space and time Collecting solitude Travel, I will, these light years in search of the savior race Who must answer our dying call? Watch the horizon fade within your eyes Within you I have to trust I will pull through This is the end of the suffering Uncertainty taking hold of the exit scheme Will this be the death of me? The end is near! It's only a matter of time before the rocks come crashing down Their souls collecting sorrows on the way out Should we accept our fate? Or maybe we can make an escape This world is what I need and one I'll surely save Days they pass Constructing a path to the stars bending space and time Collecting solitude Travel, I will these light years in search of the savior race Who must answer our dying call? Watch the horizon fade within your eyes The warmth that reflects lets me know, I'm still alive!... Carry the weight of a thousand worlds within my heart I've had enough of this I have to trust I will pull through This is the end! Don't ask how we lost our way Follow the stars to the place where we used to lay! 09. Satellites
The heart went in two ways and the brain has gone in stereo
Invent and reinvest What do we know? (What do we know?) Why do we do it Not enough to carry on alone Whats left of simple life and beauty all around Left in the arms of the living, I shake Left in the cold A cut upon the skin They're always sharp in the beginning Where is the love in the bend and the break? This is our home A cut upon the skin They're always sharp in the beginning We stick to the two lanes Live on the road Shy away from the natural What do we know? (What do we know?) It's not enough to carry on alone (That's why we do it together) What's left of simple life and beauty all around Left in the hands of the living, I burn, but to return A sheet upon the sphere this simple Heart is the exterior Where is the love in the bend and the break? This is our home A cut upon the skin They're always sharp in the beginning Down in the blue Damaged by the new Beyond the tide Far from all But this is us This is life It's suicide We're all ten feet tall rolling in that ball This is us This is life Suicide The mountain cracks from the kicks we give The plain will split in two and swallow where we live Swallow where we live We're pushing the mistakes and the love that we take The plain will split in two and swallow where we live Swallow where we live We're pushing down in a hole right before our eyes The rising heat and the melting ice Now all we care for is blood and satellites (The mountain cracks from all the kicks) The love we take and the grave mistakes The land we rape that's within our wake And all we strive for is blood and satellites We're going under We're going under It's not worth taking the fall It's not worth losing it all We're going under We're going under We'll drop dead at the end of the fall It's not worth losing it all We're going under! We're going under! Down in the blue Damaged by the new Beyond the tide Far from all But this is us This is life It's suicide We're all ten feet tall rolling in that ball Battered skin under the road Life begins as I corrode Battered skin under the road Life begins as I corrode Battered skin, battered skin under the road! Life begins as I corrode! Battered skin, battered skin under the road! Life begins as I corrode! We're going under! We're going under! We're going under! Suck my balls. |
