1. HYDRA

I watched a man die in the cold
He slept in the street
We left him there with nothing to eat
I watched a man burn in the coals
Shoveling shit into a furnace
Trading a check for his soul

The city is a fucking prison
Force fed failure, eat what you're given
The ivory tower, the higher power
I swear they're laughing as we claw at the scraps
We were the lions now we bow to the hydra
'Cause when you cut off the head fucking two grow back
Fucking two grow back

The ivory tower, the higher power
I swear they're laughing as we claw at the scraps
We were the lions now we bow to the hydra
Cause when you cut off the head fucking two grow back

See them at their worst
Another day goes by
Everything I love dies in the passenger side of the hearse
Lower the bar. It's pathetic to think
I knew their souls would sink
But I never knew how far

Repetition is only failure
Repetition is only failure
Repetition is only failure
Repetition is only failure

The cycle repeats
A march towards defeat

The wretched accept it, a bleak tomorrow
The fathers of greed sow the seeds for sons of sorrow
The wretched accept it, a bleak tomorrow
The fathers of greed sow the seeds for sons of sorrow

I watched a man die in the cold
He slept in the street
We left him there with nothing to eat
I watched a man burn in the coals
Shoveling shit into a furnace
Trading a check for his soul

The city is a fucking prison
Force fed failure, eat what you're given
The ivory tower, the higher power
I swear they're laughing as we claw at the scraps
We were lions now we bow to the hydra
Cause when you cut off the head fucking two grow back
Fucking two grow back

I watched a man die in the cold
I watch a man burn in the coals
I watched a man die in the cold
I watch a man burn in the coals


2. HEADS WILL HANG

Death's breath on the back of our neck
The bitter taste of blood
Flowing in floods. Consuming all the rations
Neglect is a crime of passion
I don't believe we've earned our keep
Or deserve this peace, self centered catastrophes
Armies of fools will fall
Nights of no end. Writing on the wall

War is now the will of your God
The prophets hands are stained
War is now the will of your God
Heads will hang
Heads will hang

All hail the antiheroes
Life reduced to ones and zeros
Expand and expire
Voices of reason retire
The threat is real
When you can feel the pain they feel
The threat is real
When you can feel the pain they feel
The writings on the wall

War is now the will of your God
The prophets hands are stained
War is now the will of your God
Heads will hang

(Soul seller)
(Fortune teller)
(Plague bearer)

(Soul seller) The fog won't lift
(Fortune teller) These comforts are counterfeit
(Plague bearer) The kings of shame stretch the divide

(Soul seller) The pieces never fit
(Fortune teller) First world counterfeits
(Plague bearer) The great collapse now justified

Peace is merely a gift for the privileged
Safeguarded from the pain
This indifference is paid in blood
All hands our stained

The grip of oppression tightens the noose
But when they kick out the chair
Heads will hang
Heads will hang

War is now the will of your God
War is now the will of your God


3. BLACK MAMMOTH

Fools gold, siphoned and sold, merchants of death
Dead in spirit, now dead in flesh
Fools gold, siphoned and sold, merchants of death
Dead in spirit, now dead in flesh

Born of violent flames, landscapes of ashes
The roots soak up the rain, burning in acid
The wounds are cauterized, and left un-bandaged
Wilting beneath a sun, withered and damaged

Tragedy reigns forever

Rejoice in masses
The tribe collapses
The mother weeps in her dying breath
Rise from the ashes
Oh foul black mammoth
Dead in spirit, now dead in flesh

Tread on sacred terrain, envenomed and ravaged
The peace upon the plains, seized by the savage
Primitive practices, uproot and vanish
Modern barbarians, new rite of passage

Rejoice in masses
The tribe collapses
The mother weeps in her dying breath
Rise from the ashes
Oh foul black mammoth
Dead in spirit, now dead in flesh

Tragedy reigns forever
Tragedy reigns forever
Tragedy reigns forever


4. TERRAFORM

When the world is empty of souls
It will become so clean
When the world is empty of souls
It will become so clean

Silent death. Assimilation
Hammers of seven hells fall from above
Settle the final debt, forced adaptation
Void of regret, absent of love
Subdue the lands until they bow at the broken will of man
Inescapable fate
The earth will swallow all that it can
Until it finally reclaims the hell we create

When the world is empty of souls
It will become so clean
When the world is empty of souls
It will become so clean

Terraform

Annihilation, the human curse
Worthless warnings, terror swarming
Self preservation, ancient rebirth
Endless mourning, terraforming

Silent death
Hammers of seven hells fall from above
Silent death
Hammers of seven hells fall from above


5. IRON MOON (FT. KEVIN MCCAUGHEY OF ION DISSONANCE)

Do you feel numb,
Or are you really just over it?
Old timer, slave driver
Crack the whip while they sink our ship
Clocking in, work till the bones ache
No warmth so the hands shake
The pills suppress the pain,
But the dependence is ever-growing

A fools devotion, devoid of motion
This mistake you can't erase
The bag may not inflate while oxygen is flowing

A coward ruled by force
Breeds a nation of discord,
And a lifetime of remorse
No more

I'd rather suffocate than breathe
In what this bullshit life has offered me
Defiance
Defiance

The new dawn of the iron moon
You should have let sleeping dogs lie, cause now they're hunting you
Wallow in what could have been thumb twiddler
You handed them the keys to the kingdom, signed and delivered

Do you feel numb, after the damage is done?
Do you remember the days when we didn't have to look over our shoulders?
Now we flinch at the kickback, and head down the wrong track. We let them takeover
Fear is the final sin. Before it even begins, this fucking rat race was over

A fools devotion, devoid of motion
This mistake you can't erase
The bag may not inflate while oxygen is flowing

I'd rather suffocate than breathe
In what this bullshit life has offered me
Defiance
Defiance

The new dawn of the iron moon
You should have let sleeping dogs lie, cause now they're hunting you


6. WHEN THE BULBS BURN OUT

"Every week we're seeing new and undeniable climate events. Evidence that accelerated climate change is here right now. Droughts are intensifying. Our oceans are acidifying. Methane levels rising up in the ocean floor. We are seeing extreme weather events. And the west Antarctic and Greenland ice shifts melting at unprecedented rate. Decades ahead of scientific projections. None of this is rhetoric, and none of it is hysteria. It is fact. And solving this crisis is not a question of politics. It is a question of our own survival."

Feed the fire
Until it expires
Feed the fire
Until it expires

Callous enemies, abandon sanity
Villains of vanity, design a life so clearly unstable
Dead remnants left adrift. Red rivers fill the rift
Poisonous pools emit an atmosphere just barely not fatal

Seven billion leeches
Squirming towards extinction
Tremendous fucking casualties
Of the human condition

Seven billion leeches
Squirming towards extinction
Tremendous fucking casualties
Of the human condition

All your material things mean nothing when the bulbs burn out
All your material dreams mean nothing when the bulbs burn out
All the oil and blood will seep back into the mud when the bulbs burn out
Will you see what you've done as it comes undone when the bulbs burn out

Feed the fire
Until it expires
Feed the fire
Until it expires


7. TOO LATE

Old ashes from repeated mistakes
Hell in a shadow that I can't escape
It's too late, it's too late

Dreams of love, dreams of sex, dreams of joy, dreams of peace
Lie in sickbeds with sweat stained sheets
You only regress, no matter how long you rest
You get what you fucking get

It's too late
Another man falls down
It's too late
Another man falls down

Serenity, the condition we lack
When you finally accept your surroundings, you can cut through the fat
To the meat of the soul. One grand old hole
Stiff, blue, and cold. And now I know
It's too late

A sinners dance of endless posturing
Who the fuck are you when no one's watching?

A sinners dance of endless posturing
Who the fuck are you when no one's watching?

Irreversible
Inescapable
(It's too late)
Undeniable
(It's too late)
Uncontrollable
(It's too late, it's too late)

Dreams of love, dreams of sex, dreams of joy, dreams of peace
Lie in sickbeds with sweat stained sheets
You only regress, no matter how long you rest
You get what you fucking get

It's too late
Another man falls down
It's too late
Another man falls down

Irreversible
Inescapable
Undeniable
Uncontrollable


8. EMPTY STILL

Leave the room
It was empty before and it is empty still
Cross bearer. Lost prayer
Lord give me nothing, I've already lost my will
To begin or end
Never again

The nature of a broken soul is to beg
But the burden of pity is greater than the calm
Resounding stronger than relief
I welcome the harm
The clashing conscience of a coward
Low hanging spirit, soul devoured

Low hanging spirit, soul devoured

I never wanted to live in a world that would kill me
I never wanted a father who wouldn't forgive me

Please leave the room
It was empty before and it is empty still

I never wanted to live a world that would kill me
I never wanted a father who wouldn't forgive me

The man with two hats
Identified by one, embellished and black
The man with two hats
Distressed and divine, fragile and white
Where do you hang them?
How do you tell them apart when you tear them apart?

How do you tell them apart when you tear them apart?

(Leave the room
It was empty before and it is empty still)

Burning in hellfire, numb to the touch
I'm left to fix this fractured actor on my own
Artificial man. Sacrificial lamb
Love to dust. I've given up

I never wanted to live in a world that would kill me
I never wanted a father who wouldn't forgive me
I never wanted to live in a world that would kill me
Forgive me


9. SPIRAL

Embrace true emptiness

Embrace true emptiness
Behind the eyes the beast is man is never far
Dormant until we accept what we are
No saints. No grace

There is no relief from the mountains of grief
Intricately, assembled stone by stone
The art of deception, in theory and practice
Smothers any compassion we could hope to salvage
There is no progress, when forward motions just a test
Of another mans lust for greed
The will to resist disappears in the midst
Staining the sky in eternal misery

Intertwined in end times
Wondrous webs of deceit we weave
Behind the eyes, the beast in man is never far
Only dormant until we accept what we are

Don't save me
There's nowhere to stay
That doesn't bear the scars of yesterday
Don't save me
There's nowhere to stay
That doesn't bear the scars of yesterday

Embrace true emptiness

Embrace true emptiness
Behind the eyes the beast in man is never far
Dormant until we accept what we are
No saints. No grace

The last lights drift
Deep down into the spiral
Where same and denial
Are forever and final

The last lights drift
Deep down into the spiral
Where same and denial
Are forever and final

Don't save me
Nomad on an orphan earth
There's nowhere to stay
That doesn't bear the scars of yesterday
Don't save me
Nomad on an orphan earth
There's nowhere to stay
That doesn't bear the scars of yesterday
Don't save me
Don't save me
