1. NEW REIGN

Day after day...
Force fed masked bigotry and corruption...
A stop must be put to this mass mind rape.

Held down once again
Mental shackles lock us in
Convicted for being alive
Darkness in their words
Venom to sedate the herd
Psychological genocide

No longer will we be held down.
Amassing an army to dominate.
With a big fuck you, we will bring it on.
All opposition, we'll eradicate.

Brain dead is their ideal
Hiding truth of what is real
Prescribing the fallacy
Dictate the obscure
Empty words to reassure
Hypocrisy is policy

No longer will we be held down.
Amassing an army to dominate.
With a big fuck you, we will bring it on.
All opposition, we'll eradicate.

We march forth with clenched fists held to the sky.
No longer will you decide our fate.
Stopping for nobody as we defy.
Time has come for a new reign!

Now watch as we rise!

No longer will we be held down.
Amassing an army to dominate.
With a big fuck you, we will bring it on.
We'll eradicate all opposition.

We march forth with clenched fists held to the sky.
No longer will you decide our fate.
Stopping for nobody as we defy.
Time has come for a new reign!

Join us as...

We march forth with clenched fists held to the sky.
No longer will you decide our fate.
Stopping for nobody, watch as we rise.
This is the end of the mass mind rape!


2. SLAVES OF THE MODERN AGE

Beckoned by momentary fullfillments, living life through lifeless pleasures.
Memories and experiences pushed asside for what you can physically touch and feel.
Seeds of satisfaction are cultivated with every distraction purchased.
This fundamentally useless human act conditions our minds over time.

Stimulate ourselves, yet still in control.

Desensitized - nothing satisfies.
Addiction - searching for the next high to distract ourselves.

Conditioned from the cradle, commercial wants became artificial basic needs.
Already consumed by consumption, the senses further numb with more comodities.
A dependency that grows and grows.
Forever hooked!

Desensitized - nothing satisfies.
Addiction - searching for the next high to distract us.

Oblivious, we fall deeper in our decline.

Once again, ready and willing to contribute to the faceless empire,
The mindless drone continues on with his own steady systematic downfall.
Never once questioning, the slave passes on the addiction to its offspring.
This mind numbing behaviour is attributed to what we know as capitalism.

Overstimulated and desensitized...

... - nothing satisfies.
Addiction - searching for the next high.
Distraction - forsake what is real, consume it or die, illusion to survive.
Mesmerize - the escape absorbed, the human brain neutered, we're all slaves of the modern age!


3. ASCENDENCY

Every mind, no matter how strong, has a weakness that can be exploited by another for thought control.
Nourish that weakness with words.
Fill it, feed it, cram it, stuff it until it's overflowing.
The fear you may cease one day; that makes you god!

I'll find what your weakness is.
I'll fill the void within your life and satiate it.
You have what I desire.
I'll find what breaks you down.
You'll give it all to me without any hesitation.

A nothing deluded as an everything.
Deception for personal gain.
Absence of fullfilment results in the blind submition to mental domination.

Perception of sincerity intertwined with overwhelming emotions clouds the judgement.
Materialize a mental crutch.
Form it, frame it, build it, shape it, spawn a dependency.
The fear you'll take it away; that makes you god!

I'll find what your weakness is.
I'll fill the void within your life and satiate it.
You have what I desire.
I'll find what breaks you down.
You'll give it all to me without any hesitation.

A Nothing deluded as an everything.
Deception for personal gain.
Absence of fullfilment results in the blind submition to mental domination.

I found what your weakness is.
I filled the void within your life and satiated it.
You had what I desired.
I found what breaks you down.
My ascendency over your own will has left you with nothing.

Left with nothing at all...
And therein lies the irony as the victim forever returns for more.

My ascendency is your downfall!


4. RECONSTRUCTION

Like claws that rip away at its prey,
The unexpected can sometimes steer us astray.
Lacerations in the lives we lead.
Our spirits beaten and brought down to their knees.

Lost is the sight of the fractured soul.
Even its bearer has no recollection of what was once foretold.
Fueled by the discontentment of our state,
We create ourselves a subterfuge for our fate.

It seeps into you.
It's paralyzing grip takes control.
Consuming the essence of your mind,
The reconstruction of your identity and of your soul starts to take form.

Open wounds heal over the course of time when our demons are confronted.

Within the confines of our minds
Dwell questions without answers. A pain left behind
Brings forth the unseen soul within us.
Are we that person? Or are we still who we now suppress?

Lost is the sight of the fractured soul.
Even its bearer has no recollection of what was once foretold.
Fueled by the discontentment of our state,
We create ourselves a subterfuge for our fate.

It seeps into you.
It's paralyzing grip takes control.
Consuming the essence of your mind,
The reconstruction of your identity and of your soul starts to take form.

It seeps into us.
In defense, we bring out our new face.
A past that we bury to move forward with a new life.
A self-made protection that gives us inner strength.

But questions still remain as scars shape external perception.
