1. DE-DESENSITIZE

De-desensitize
It's time to de-desensitize

Robotic in my programmed routine
Cycle through the days like a machine
From task to task complete repeat
Incessant drudgery set to repeat

[Chorus]
Now I'll be the one to shatter the trance
It's time to de-desensitize
My actions will be the reason why
It's time to de-desensitize

The commotion outside of the gates
Is the voice of reason that will change the captive's fate
Follow the course of events
Trace the trajectory
One way or another
They will all be freed

[Chorus]

Two prongs of attack
Set for emancipation
From conviction to commitment
Liberate through action
What other choice is left
To stop these crimes
I'd rather break unjust laws
Than turn away this time

It's over when they're rescued
Not a single moment before
Compassion overthrows self interest
It's what all this risk is for

[Chorus]

Two prongs of attack
Set for emancipation
From conviction to commitment
Liberate through action
What other choce is left
To stop these crimes
I'd rather break unjust laws
Than turn away this time


2. OUT OF THE CAGES

Never turn my back on them
I can't ever live as I once did
I have to obey my conscience and answer to all that it bids
Why would the hand of fate place me here
If it wasn't to heed the call
Destined to be the one who steps up out of line to save them all

The files dissolve
Awash in smoking acid
I'll gotten gains their total destruction
Rushed through the lab to set the prisoners free
From the horror that they were locked into

If what when on behind these walls
Happened in the public's view
The tests would end from the disgust
This would never continue
Ticks of the clock rushing forward
There are only moments of time
To rescue them then to escape
Follow the plan line by line

The files dissolve
Awash in smoking acid
I'll gotten gains their total destruction
Rushed through the lab to set the prisoners free
From the horror that they were locked into

Out of the cages


3. SHIVER

Shiver
Discordant shrieks ring form every side
To echo down the halls

Soulless eyes stare into mine
Apathetic to the agony
That their hands inflict upon me
The tormentors are emotionless

Yearning for our last heart beat
Our escape impossible from their ghoulish acts

Soulless eyes stare into mine
Apathetic to the agony
That their hands inflict upon me
The tormentors are emotionless

Quaking in terror
As the figures meet our gaze
Restrained beneath the light as their scalpels raise
Locked in constraints as blades slice through our skin
Blood spills from the wounds as the torture begins
Devices inserted the current courses in
Jaws and limbs waver in silent motion
Shiver
Shiver

Soulless eyes stare into mine
Apathetic to the agony
That their hands inflict upon me
The tormentors are emotionless


4. THE MORBID GLARE

Practitioners of sadism
Their monstrous countenance
Evident in the morbid glare
Of perverse science
Beware the disease research
Pharmaceutical complex
Distorting propaganda
Leaves the public vex

Drugs and devices hyped as salvation
Hold back cures to prolong the treatment's extinction

The atrociousness of the intentional
Inducement of injury
Animal research a fraudulent practice
An unrealistic representation of humans
Wasting time costing lives
Misleading conclusions

Drugs and devices hyped as salvation
Hold back cures to prolong the treatment's extinction

Confinement... deprivation
Trauma... devastation
Differences in metabolism
Blood pressure and anatomy
Erroneous data is
All that there is to see
Practitioners of sadism
Their monstrous countenance
Evident in the morbid glare
Of perverse science


5. RAZORS THROUGH FLESH

Another horde of fool surges against the gates

Their empty slogans bore me
I'll never stop

Outrage in their voices
On the verge of insanity
The tantrums of emotional children
Are all that I see
Accosted with hollow threats
So we're back to all of this again
As I wak into the door of the lab

Their empty slogans bore me
I'll never stop

All their protest and their efforts
Don't do anything at all
They're trivialized by the press
While I'm protected by the law
Accosted with hollow threats

End your
Research
On animals
Your activism is a fad

End your
Research
On animals
You'll be on to the next trend

End your
Research
On animals
After the novelty has passed

End your
Research
On animals
When your fever finally breaks

The lab persists without a pause
You will all betray your cause
Suppressed my urge to laugh
As their voices fade away

After I'll still be here
I'll never stop
After I'll still be here
Drawing razors through flesh
After you're all gone
I'll still be here
Drawing razors through flesh


6. DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE

Pointless needless
Beyond human comprehension
Existence devoted
To nightmarish sadism
How has science been advanced
When vivsection destroys lives
By their difference
By their acceptance
Humanity's been lowered in my eyes

The lack of outrage speaks volumes
In the absence of empathy
When an animal identical to their own
Is tortured without mercy

Only a blood thirsty
Psychopath would do this
As their choice
After the sight of tears
After hearing the pain in their voices
Wailing in terror
For the hideous acts of abuse to end
Before minds shatter they contort
They twist and bend

The lack of outrage speaks volumes
In the absence of empathy
When an animal identical to their own
Is tortured without mercy

Ailing volunteers would advance
The process over night
Cures perfected in time to save them
Never see the light
Depraved indifference to the creatures lives
While humans lives are lost
For industry for legality
Al lsuffer the cost
The horror that won't subside
Like a tumor that grows and multiplies
Can't erase the actuality
That plagues my thoughts incessantly

The lack of outrage speaks volumes
In the absence of empathy
When an animal identical to their own
Is tortured without mercy


7. NO REASON

Glaring through the bars
At a world that I despise
Everyday spent in confinement
Everyday I'm victimized
Thoughts of freedom dwindle
Down to a memory
Growing fainter and fainter
Now pain is all I know and feel

(Repeat x2)
Entombed inside the
Utmost depths of Hell
Doomed to suffer a fate
That's inescapable

Won't stop resisting
Fight to stay alive
Until I'm free or until I die
My kind means nothing to them
They mock our sorrow and fear
Laugh at our screams of pain
There is no reason
The error would be in stopping short
Of what will stop them
Confront and combat
With all that we have
It's not wrong to hate evil men

(Repeat x2)
Entombed inside the
Utmost depths of Hell
Doomed to suffer a fate
That's inescapable


8. THE PALLID SURGEON

Only consciousnes and unconsciousness
Shocked awake with their screams
Pouring from my nightmares
Swallowed into darkness by the mouth of Hell
Scared by the grotesque
In my mind they dwell

It's terrifying callousness
As if the animals were nothing
Only referred to as test subjects
As if they weren't living

Cavalier and dismissive
Creatures denied for what they are
Icy rationalizations as they tear them apart

It's terrifying callousness
As if the animals were nothing
Only referred to as test subjects
As if they weren't living

Unveil what they conceal
It's for scientific progress
Unveil what they conceal
How is this advancement ?
What is the difference
From the atrocities
Of the pallid surgeon
Of the innocents demise


9. DEVOTED TO DEATH

Can't reset to the time before
Who I once was is never more
The lesson that echoes forward
From the distant past
A gear that turns times cyclical
Balance is cast

Singular dimensional
Biological automatons
An alternate reality
Where lives are used as pawns

Choke down the jagged fragments
Left mutilated within
Struggle to maintain the anger's suppression
I can't erase the actuality
That plagues my thoughts incessantly

Singular dimensional
Biological automatons
An alternate reality
Where lives are used as pawns

How could a life be
Devoted to death
It plagues my thoughts
Beyond belief how can this be
It baffles my mind

Singular dimensional
Biological automatons
An alternate reality
Where lives are used as pawns


10. INTO NOTHINGNESS

From one shift after another
It all blurs into nothingness
A drone that's set to turn the gears
In a facility that I disgust

Pierced by a glare of painful reproach
As my vision reveals my own reflection

Down the winding corridors
Beneath the phosphorescent lamps
They emanate

Pierced by a glare of painful reproach
As my vision reveals my own reflection

How long can this forever and leave them to this fate
Evil is as real as the ground beneath
Their reasoning is falseness
I won't be complicit

From one shift after another
It all blurs into nothingness
A drone that's set to turn the gears
In a facility that I disgust

I'm not afraid to oppose


11. TENTACLES OF THE ALTERING EYES

I can't let myself decay

Feel myself sinking into
The darkest thoughts I've ever known
Visions of torrents of blood
Flicker in my mind when I think of their crimes
To strike back for them to watch it collapse
To know they'll never victimize again
Not ever at all

Can't let myself decay into to what I despise
Resist the pull of the darkness
Above the hate I have to rise

Fight to hold the high ground
Focus on setting them free
Won't contribute to the madness

Tentacles of the altering eye
Hold the lens of distortion over it all

Can't let myself decay into to what I despise
Resist the pull of the darkness
Above the hate I have to rise

I have to rise


12. FINAL BREATH

Awakened to be tortured
Dying through another day
Trapped in an inescapable prison
All hope is gone to get away from here
Wither in pain frozen in fear
Only death can make all this end
Horrific agony the antagonist is all that I can see
Is all that I can see

The nightmare draws on without an ending
Condemned to suffer

Demented shells of beings crumble
Normalcy has besome anguish
Rows of violated creatures wait for their lives
To all be extinguished
This is a place devoid of reason
No trace of pity
Terrifying mercilessness
Sickening in their destructiveness
In their destructiveness

The nightmare draws on without an ending
Condemned to suffer

Metal jaws constrict and crush
Fangs of steel pierce through our flesh
Corrosives scald and then dissolve
Let this be my final breath
