1. CIRCLE OF FOOLS

Reject the internal, a blind eye turned, truth denied
Unwanted within them inflicted outwards in lies
Aversion, denial, oppression, blame sinks to you
The scapegoat is chosen and hunted among delusions of the few

Panic bleeds into the brain, a high pitch from the sky
Gripped by the instinct of fear, sirens multiply
Convulsions to death, conform the body to flesh
A beatless heart lying still, murdered by illusions of the mind

Convicted, sentenced, brought to trial, extremities too far
Exceed brought by stagnant world, time frozen, charges barred
I blame you for corrupted youth, on your command they turned
Bring the masses to the fold, next generation saved

Fear dictates their sense of trust, a tightened guiding grip
In their minds we are the weak, so easily to slip
Eliminate temptation, a world preserved and saved
Persecute the ones they fear, and the disarray

What do you think entertained his mind?
As he raised the gun to his sweat soaked brow
Did some hypnotic rhythm reach out and fire the killing blow?
Or did his battered, scarred existence cry out for an end?
A tortured empty life that he let go

Shock, disbelief, the crushing grief
As guilt drained their lives, their senses numb
Brought to trial, can’t let the question lie
Court rejected, blame deflected, failed to pass the inner pain
Stagnant now, within them it resides

What are they hoping to see, those who shield our eyes
Uniformed, marching in stride, pure personified
This world of perfection, enforce the boundaries around
Like cattle the circle of fools is lead to the moral high ground

Tension built, released the blow, outbreak of war and fear
Collective ignorance and hate directed at the near
Vandalized by fools who search for an enemy
They and those who blind our sight are the danger that they seek


2. INSANITY PLEA

Did something snap inside of me?
Sicken and deform
Tap a hidden illness deep inside
Release my violent energy
Repeat the senseless kill
Caught red handed in the act of crime
Fear engulfs my state of mind
Numbs my train of thought
Future hanging in the balance
Will the state require my demise?

Time, the space of empty years to pass me by
Solitude, life repossessed, parole to be denied
Without panic, a loophole found
Fragmented inner workings of my mind

Time has slowed, the trial is near
The lies will pave the way
Truth evaded, conjuring excuses to be made
Memory is fragmented I wallow in decay
My dreams are blurred with consciousness
The night seeps into day

My day of trial draws closer still
Emotions burned as pressure builds
Collect your thoughts, act the charade
Will freedom call, which road to take

Immoral acts stain my brain
Horror from within
No remorse for victims who have passed
Now on judgment day I pleas insanity
Cold blooded murderer at heart
No bargains from the state
The court becomes my prey
Pass the buck, shift the blame
Fuck the system, free to kill again


3. VISION DIVINE

I know all, mind set in stone
As I gaze in awe beyond the sky
Vision divine came to me
Who we are, one true answer is mine

Around us all revolves
All that came to be
At his mercy all dies
Enforced by the deity

Blind leads blind, prophets revealed
Declares answers that he can never know
Faith completes, eyes are now sealed
All explained, man’s existence controlled

From man’s mind born a god
Figurehead bestowed
Now he no longer sees
Beyond the shell of his earthly throne

Divine right lost and retrieved
One more fool to explain eternity
The laws of what was, is, and will be
Reclaimed refabricated belief

A god dies one more born
From the mind of man
Once again truth denied
Blind fools strain to see beyond their grasp


4. HATE

I hate you and your kind, burned in me through time
Every facing thing about you I learned to despise
A vision etched in me, you I do not see
Just another random face, one of the enemy

Conditioned to despise, aggressive sense of pride
Replace the murdered unity, a quest to end your life
And as I see you fall, your life crumbles away
I am only glad that it’s you instead of me

From an early age taught the way it’s meant to be
Molding of my mind into a blur of hating fear
A world of black and white, clean divisions of the human race
Now I go to fight for my land, the only thing I’ve ever known

It burns inside, these thoughts of vengeance smoldered in my mind
The blows, repressing me to keep me under hold
Your hand, contorting my emotions for so long
Enough, my hatred for your oppression explodes

Now rise to fight, our vision blurred, our anger to unite
No fear, intimidation pushes down deep inside
As one we ripped to shreds the Czar that held us down
In awe, the proud new owners of the tyrant’s throne

Conscious of the adrenaline that overrides my fear
Aware of my developed power, my calculating mind
But blurred are my perceptions as I complete the final kill
Animal inside me wins, my origin in time

Drenched in sweat I wake, another vision of my morbid past
Knuckles white, a grip of fear recedes but still reside
Forever changed, the hatred twists my mind into a fractured state
Servant to my god, my country, slave to dark emotions
Thought unknown

Diseased minds, brainwashed through the passage of extended time
Born into intimidation, watched in every move
Turbulent, the hate inside me tapped I will explode
Used, enraged, I now become a valued tool
My inner self controlled


5. UNKNOWN

Life, the meaning of death
Unknown destiny, how much time is left?
Living out the end never knowing when
The plug will be pulled and you find the end
Doomed to uncertainty
Uncontrolled force controls reality
Erosion of our lives, constant ticking
The clock ticks as our hearts beating

Grievance, anguish and pain
Losses come cold, bitterness remains
Fragile lives dropping like drips of rain
Staring blankly into death’s eyes again
Innocence, dumbfounded faith
Hope will bring nothing, darkness always waits
Gripping as you wake, life’s fragility, providence

Of mortal lives we’re leading unknown, unseen, unscathed
The fragile lives we thought we once knew, to be, our own
Controlled by our inner selves drained, in time or taken
The fear we never realized set in place and time life’s mortality

Controverting its domain
Permanence for whom is slain
Time and space come to a halt
Exercised the right of fault

Beyond sleep you will lie, freed from the flesh
Spanning the plain, existence persists?

Stand or fall, do as you may
An open door will pave the way
The final choice is only yours
Fate you’ll find behind the door

Unknown to all, our minds to evade
Eternally unanswered the question lays
Mental block bars, repress the fear
The future hid from knowledge certain to appear
Burdened mind, for what we perceive
Forced to live with knowledge of mortality
Will we reach, step over the line
Fall to fate, destiny, question unknown in our time


6. LIVE YOUR DEATH

Burning fire in your brain
Having no control of this game
See your empty life all around
Life and death both around

Scream in pain
For life
For death
Live your death!

Not knowing which way you want to go
Indecision for yourself
Not making sense of past events
Complacency itself

Life will take a life on this frightful day
Searching for the truth
Can the chance be taken to end it all?
The never ending quest

The pain within ceases to halt
Frenzied state, no one’s fault
Execution of your soul
See the light but you can’t

Scream in pain
For life
For death
Live your death!


7. FACTOR RED

Retinas burn
As my eyes raise towards the dying star
Half devoured sky bleeds red
The death of a star begun

Billion times five
Inner orbits set to solar flame
One with the star they die
Melt to core, no remains

Oceans boil, steam rises
Molten cracks reveal
The boiling lava
Rising in turmoil

Lifeless, planet barren
Earth’s last dying vapors
Atmosphere ignited
Radiation burns away

A planet to breath
The earth gave shelter
The gift of the curse of life
Over-evolved mind
Consciousness raped
After four billion years
Earth shaped, molded, contorted man

To become a scar
A black page in the planet’s history
Did he self-destruct?
Turn inward on himself
Or tap the awesome power growing deep
Within the recess of his mind

Cycle of fire commences
Radiation of the sun
Ejected outward, last cry
Earth a corpse now lies fallen
Life burnt back to carbon
Freed from man forever
Gone or in flight through the void

What will be...


8. BLOWN DOORS

Fuel flow intravenously
Mixed nitrous through chemistry
Chemicals under pressure
Poison in my injectors
Mixing fluids to perfection
Runaways clean, injection
More speed for an injection racer
Nitrous straight, no chaser

Uniform as the mind decays
Into pump, releasing relay
Divided into equal sections
No gauges, danger detected
Consuming fuel, intense suction
Losing mind, lost function
Spastic reaction, interior combustion
Price for speed, lost deduction

Increasing the fuel’s rate of burning
The more split, gears turning
Fuel drips into the full cores
Sides torn left, blown doors

Self-injected, direct ports
Affected, computer aborts
Ignore the sensory information
Mass prone to detonation
Preset, altered, losing tone
Valve tight pinching tubes
5930 Lake Shore Cypress
Overload, top fuel nitrous


9. TERRITORIES

Future barren, blinded vision
Downhill struggle every day
Masses flock, to every wealth
Ignore society

Alternative economy
That addiction feeds
Inner cities hardest hit
Multiplying breed

Urban terror, growing, spreading
Beckoning to all that hide
Splitting factions fight for power
Enemies divide

I had no time for innocence, the streets soon took me in
Age did not protect me from the hell I lived within
There was no choice I had no time to walk my path alone
Drafted to the ranks of crime as my history has shown
I see no future for myself, I dwell now day by day
I live my life for the gangs to die by their way

Six fists fly at me, trail of blows begins
Feel the cold encase my mind as pain sets in
Ten minutes pass, I barely stand my ground
Entrance to the streets elite I now have found

Averted eyes, to feel the rage
Of those that we refuse to see
Constant denial, cause the backlash
That we know will see

Reject the world as meant to be
Rule within themselves
Ever-changing hierarchy
Manifests itself


10. TORNADO

Chill in the wind, black is the sky
Feel the force, the force of life
Evening the odds, its toll on life
The time has come, a time of strife

Twisting and turning the storm is here
Storming, crashing destruction’s near
Cities leveled at any cost
In a flash all life is lost

Thrashing and bashing it’s all too late
Crashing, smashing it’s sealed your fate
Can’t you see you cannot hide?
Can’t you see you’re going to die?

The storm has come and gone without a warning call
There is no time to act when all is said and done
And after all is through the storm has passed away
Pick up the pieces left and start your life again


11. THREE WITCHES

One piece of paper to alter your mind
Step out of reality, awe of mankind
Take a trip to the unknown, distorting the time

Your mind’s turning cartwheels inside of your head
Do you welcome this feeling or wish you were dead?
Tasting the wallpaper as the music turns red

Stare at the wall as is melts into blood
To keep this feeling you wish that you could
To do it all over again you would

The meaning of life on the tip of your tongue
You’re feeling insane as your brain’s growing numb
Feel the alveoli burst in your lungs

Can’t stop thinking
On the brink and living
Like you’ve never lived before

Where’d I put my fucking brain, it’s gone as you can see
Please, don’t step on it if you do it’s the end of me
Can’t put out my cigarette, this bottle seems to melt
Red cars and gnarly people are what this town’s about

Walls breathing, feel floating, look at me I’m flat
Staring at a leaf for hours, the trees are made of blue and red
Smoke a pack of cigarettes in a second to my head
Just ‘cause I can’t find my brain it doesn’t mean I’m dead

Lucy in the sky playing dice with laughing Sam
Images before my eyes of Lisa, Sally, and Diane
All’s clear in double now I shift my psychedelic gears
Long slowly drifting seconds seem to last a thousand years

One piece of paper has now changed your life
A permanent dent in your brain you survived
A part of you born as another part died

Colliding thoughts slow to a pace you once knew
Normality slowly seeping its way through
Did you ever think this could happen to you?

Eternally changed you for better or worse
A scar on your brain or a lesson well learned
I never will leave, in your mind I am burned

So will you return to this journey I’ve led?
To laugh at the world and see the madness it spreads
Calling you back to you sanity’s end

Can’t stop thinking
On the brink and living
Like you’ve never lived before


12. LORD WAR

Piece of progress
Advanced control
Absolute perfection
Locked down into total war

Energy not prone to defect
Intelligent form of development
The race to live now dormant

Germinate the genocide
Man’s development demise
Dead shapeless bodies
Decipher codes of lord war

Knowledge became extreme source, energy
Black smoke rises from power plant
Unthinkable war stored in banks

Whisper, arise, arise
Defeat the mechanized
Gather all sick lives
Fuel the source, the arise

Who rules power, fight no life
Full taste of machinery
Total arise, full arise
The extreme heart or power
Man’s brilliance, man’s demise
Fully exercised in technology
No flesh, no blood
Mechanized fiend

Decipher codes phase four
Locked down into total war
Race is the true lord war
