Les paroles

1. SPARE THE WRENCH, SURRENDER THE EARTH

Development plans slated, wilderness negated.
Green consciousness frustrated, MONKEYWRENCH!
Conservation policy lies, ecotage on the rise.
Logging equipment fouled... surprise, monkeywrench!

Biological meltdown, our culture puts nature down,
Subversive action now, monkeywrench!
Pristine forests felled, death for Earth is spelled,
Our protest can't be quelled, monkeywrench!

"No compromise in defense of Mother Earth!"

Ecosystems erased, serenity displaced,
Is progress taking place?
Monkeywrench!
General apathy toward destructive tendencies,
Can't people fucking see the need to monkeywrench!?!


2. MY MINDS MINE!

Why should I even bother
To acknowledge the pathetic notions of =

Minds without knowledge?
I have been chastised for acting too freely,
But individulism for me =

Is the key, see?!?

Why should I style my pattern
Of life after those who bring about =

Hatred and strife?
I would much rather have a mellow existence of celebration and =

Productive subsistence!

My minds mine!!!

Individuality, creativity, self - mastery... not for you?
Sensibility, originality, responsability... not for you?
Stability, free mentalities, global harmony... not for you?

Stupidity, live destructively,
"Self" is all you see... is this you?
Pathetic apathy, Christianity, no mentality... is this you?
Spreading misery, no flexibility,
Lost and lazy... is this you?

So in conclusion,
Let's ignite a struggle for total transcendence =

From this confining muddle!
It seems to me simple,
Just strive for mental freedom, don't end up =

Like our parents, tranquilized by their stupidity!


3. SOCIETALLY PROVOKED GENOCIDAL COMTEMPLATION

This whole world is fucking sick!!!
Human stupidity had made me crazed!
Insanity frees my mind to wander...
I gleefully ponder humanity's murder!

Thoughts of slaughter fill my head.
I want to make all humans dead.
To free the of the ills that manifest from diseased wills.
My remedy for Earth's situation,
Is total human being negation!!!

Radical global extermination.
The venting of my crazed frustration.
Plants and animals would rejoice.
Freed from human ploys.
I've been dismissed as being sick...
"Environmentally romantic", but I will have the final laugh.
As my own species feels my wrath!!!

No more factories polluting the air I breath!
No more authority blatantly surppressing me!
No more politics, mere games for the ethically sick!
No more fighting wars, human beings will destroy no more!!!

No I'm alone, in solitude I freely roam...
But I'm going mad contemplating the good times past...
"..so I enact a frazzled new plan,
Splattering my brains across this"

Now free land!


4. ONLY HYPOCRISY PROHIBITS LEGALITY

Only hypocrisy prohibits legality!
A huge propaganda spree misinforms society!
Corrupt industries hinder legality!
Foolish mentalities prohibit legality!
Green rationality demands legality!
Clandestine revelry ignores legality!
Numerous fallacies prevent legality!
It's blatant stupidity to support illegality!
Only hypocrisy prohibits legality!
Sheer fucking idiocy prohibits legality!
Only hypocrisy prohibits legality!
It sure would be great to see big bongs smoked legally!!!


5. INTRO / EMPTYNESS

(Instrumental)


6. ALL THAT REMAINS

Our mother earth
Is dying for your greed
Starving hungry people
Are left to feed
Money and power
Takes control
But nothings left
to feed the world

Extinction of Mankind
Is on it's way

Economy is failing
What's to do
There's no future
For me and you

We just sid
And wait to die
From Disease, hunger
Or another lie

Nuclear age of warfare
Predicting death is near
Dictatorship and politics
Fills our lives with fear

Bodies piling on the streets
Children suffering as they bleed
Our mother earth
Is dying for your greed
Annihilation

Buildings burning to the ground
Ashes falling from the sky
Death, confusion is all around
Annihilation

Extinction

All that remains


7. CHEMICAL FEAR

Do you ever think what's near?
Your greedy minds pollute without fear

Chemical pollution
in the lake
Chemical discharge we can't take

Its going to come back to you (it burns)
It will affect you too (it hurts)

Burning eyes your hair falls out
Rashes on the skin never come out
No hope for anything more
The greedy bastards just want more

Its going to come back to you (it burns)
It will affect you too (it hurts)

It will come in effect
The garbage now will be down your necks
No hope for us what's done is done
Stop their ways
Chemical fear is on its way


8. INTERNAL ROT

From my pain-Hatred came
Emotions lost- Eternal strain
Losing Grasp-Forever lost
Nothing left-Internal Rot

Internal Rot

Fear of life-Fear of pain
Losing Grasp- Of what’s inside
Destroying emotions- A shattered mind

Stricken me down
Below my own insight
Internal Rot
Eating my body alive!

Internal Rot


9. DEMENTED OMEN OF MASOCHISM

(No lyrics available)


10. MORBIDIOUS PATHOLOGY

(No lyrics available)


11. VULGAR NECROLATRY

Erosion of life I see it makes the passion burn in me
Life it always withers away
Death will eternally stay
Corpses in their coffins forever rest in peace?
There sleeping with the aspergillusis
This justice to the dead?
The atrocious sight of burial ecremony
Christians weeping for the departed
They won't understand, they should envy them!
The deceased they know, if there's a paradise
Or shall we feel, the purgatory! I
Open the graves, admire the rot
I can feel the presence, of something beyond
Aureola of nauseating reek
Wings of shriveled skin
Holy beauty of a carcass
Divine sight for me to gaze upon!
Necrolatic!
Reverence for putrefaction
Necrolatic!
Reverence for the stench
I kneel, before a carrion
I pray, before the dead
I know, they shall rise I fear, for the scourge
I revere, power of the dead


12. MISERY PATH

We sail across the sea,
In our thoughts we float over mountains
All this vanity that we could hide
The truth
The truth is to be alive and
To live your life in fear by hate and create our own gods
We all ourselves are created our own images
Ourselves we are created our own gods
In the misty morning
When the sun is rising,
When the whole sky is red like blood
Man can realize the real meaning of life
To love and respect your life
Your salvation, or is just your damnation.
We all ourselves...
