1. GIFT OF DEATH

Slaughter the children
To protect the father!
Slaughter the children
To protect the father!

The blood to water
The blood to water

Aware inside my body
Trapped in a pool of... blood
I dig my fingers in the open sores
Of the ones who've given up
I hear them suffocate
They are bloated, a waste of life
Relax my hands, it's a blessing
Their eyes turn up, I force mine down
Relax my hands, it's a blessing
Their eyes turn up, I force mine down in the hole

The gift of death is such a blessing for us!

Cut out my wicked eyes
Cut out my wicked eyes...
Gift of death!

Cut out my wicked eyes!
A gift is carved to hide the markings on palms
A mask could hide thy father
Blood to water, blood to water

Sacrifice like you do your daughters
Blood to water, blood to water
Their eyes turn up, I force mine down!

The gift of death is such a blessing for us...

Sacrifice!

Cut out my wicked eyes
Wicked eyes


2. REMAIN CALM

Remain, remain calm!
Remain, remain calm!

You're overcompensating
To hide your moral failing
I find you fascinating
This is all so fascinating

You want no regulation
You're measuring the wrong thing
No matter what you choose to weigh
They all will be left waiting, oh!

Hush my baby don't cry
Rig the game, you can derail the narrative
Oh! This is your righteous lullaby
Conquer truth and you can derail the narrative
This is your righteous lullaby
Conquer truth and you can derail the narrative

Open wider, let them suffer
Puff out your narrow chest
You're the king of nothing!

You play real cool
Regulator, something greater
Stimulate the point of hatred
You're king of the void

Master of nothing, king of the void
You know the deck was stacked
You know goddamn well that the deck
It was stacked!
You know goddamn well that the deck
It was stacked!


3. GREEN EYES

No!
I have no love for a lie
I have no love for a lie!
They are all rotten inside
Payment is part of the smile
Controlled and confined
A predestined nature that sticks
It rots the inside, the tree has been spoiled and split
Get down to the roots and you'll see that they've rot!
The branches reach out to nothing at all!

If you get down to the roots...
If you get down to the roots, would you consume?

Disposable!
It makes you controllable, if you only knew
A falsified icon!
Laid down where their eyes can consume you

Harvest, your power
Devour, your spirit's bound
Harvest, power, poison, devour
Devour, fragile!
Ask yourself: would you be?

If you get down to the roots
And see that they're swollen with poison

Would you still love them
Would you still love them?

And if you only knew how they tied the noose
Around your neck

Would you still love them
Would you still love them?

Would you still love
Would you still love?

No. I would not be grateful!
I will not be grateful!
I wil not accept the fruit
Would you get down to roots?
Could you pull up the roots
Or would you consume?

If you get down to the roots
If you get down to the roots
Would you... stay?
Would you... stay?


4. ERASE IT ALL

This is my mind!
It's become inconsequential
It's become an apparition
It's becoming and affliction

And I know, that apathy is, easier in life
Practice your subservience and throw away your mind
What more could we all ask for?
Take a hit and you'll want more

No, I won't play!
I reject this life
I would rather choke than let it inside
Dear him calling for comfort
In those eyes we are all... whores!

Blacked out minds
Swollen from the intentions
Proper socialization, is what will eviscerate us!

We are all whores in his eyes
You tilt your head back. Try to take your medicine
It falsifies the intentions of your enemies
Tilt your head back. Try to take your medicine
Force it open to ingest proper socialization
Constrain the population

No I won't play!
I reject this life
I would rather choke than let it inside
Hear him calling for comfort
In those eyes we are all whores

Failure destined
Erected by the enemy
Erase it all
Eject it now
Top the chalice
No, not a drop is valid


5. CURSE THE SPOT

Stake my life on a smile
Mouth is like saccharine
Behind the teeth
Incantations to punish them!

You want the monster don't you?
Your punishment controls you!
I'll step into the role, reverse the mirror
Point it towards you

The crime is existence
A drop on the table cloth
To exist in this spent world
My creation is dangerous

You're black and white, I find this ugly!
My fingers, delicate, can wrap around that neck!

Blame me for the ills of mankind
I'm not guilty
I'm not guilty!
You wanna see me swing
I'm not guilty
I'm taking you with me!

You curse the spot
All you see is the drop
You're so caught up
I'm treacherous

I don't do this for the ones
Who suffered at your hands
I don't do this for their love
It's not what they command
I do it for myself
I'm here to purge the garden

Lead me down to the river
I don't need your permission
Lead me down to the river
I don't need your permission

If you wanna play holy
I'll be the snake in the garden
If you wanna play holy
I'll be the snake in the garden

Blame me for the ills of mankind
I'm not guilty
I'm not guilty!
You wanna see me swing
I'm not guilty
I'm taking you with me!

You curse the spot
All you see is the drop!

You curse the spot
I'm not guilty, I'm taking you with me!
I do this for myself and no one else!
I do this for myself and no one else!
And no one else!


6. DOOMED TO FAIL, PT. 1

I know it well enough
We are in the death rows
I have to call you bluff
You need your direction

You want a static life
And I'm angry!
You want the same results
Without the same effects

Repeat a dead science
You beat the dead carcass

This is insanity!
It's not a plan for me
You'd have me accept it
Too proud to respect it

I'll burn this place right to the ground

I'll burn this place to the ground
I'm responsible to throw it away
To throw it away
To throw it away!

Secure it in the cold and decay
This heart can't cease to beat!

I want it to shatter
A thousand pieces strewn on the floor
They're all around me
They will unthaw inspiration

If this is doomed to fail
I'd rather watch it burn!
I'll watch it burn!

What happened to you to make you bitter?
Too soon to accept that fate
Too soon to pull the trigger

You keep it secure in the cold
I want it to shatter!
It's too soon to pull the trigger

It's too soon to pull the trigger
What happened to you to make you bitter?
It's too soon to pull the trigger
It's too soon, whoa


7. DOOMED TO FAIL, PT. 2

The static life was not your intention
You want to wear me out and have me accept it
You try to protect yourself

I know you hurt someone
I know to play that part
I've learned to expect it

It's too soon to pull the trigger
It's too soon to pull the trigger

What happened to you to make you bitter?
It's too soon to pull the trigger

Secure in the cold
Is this what you do?
Secure in the cold?

If this is doomed to fail
Than I would rather burn
I would rather burn
I would rather burn
I would rather burn

If this is doomed to fail
Then I would rather burn
I would rather burn


8. KILLED TO DEATH

How could every single drop
Of consciousness be pushed aside?

Brushed under a paradigm
Where ignorance is left to thrive

Five faces, the death of death
Is vital for the preserver
Hide your face
To take your place inside his realm

Divine anger
Five faces, buried alive

The virus of euphoria
Witness declined, victorious
Intelligence to finish us

They know that they're right for the wrong way
Hide your face as you strike a match
Intelligence is turning to ash
The truth is, you are the assailant

Decimate them all
Ignite the stake to burn them all

If their minds have awakened


9. TRIPS

Was it an act of God
That erased our humanity?

You're either dying
Or you're dead and alone!

I embrace the insanity
The place where you made your stand
It never mattered to them!

The man in black transforms us
It never mattered to the hand
It never mattered!

The place where you made your stand
It never mattered to the hand... of God
The hand of God!

(I'm thinking in the end, it might be better)

Can we transcend war with ourselves
If we think our hell is heaven?
Can we transcend war with ourselves
If we think our hell is heaven?
Can we transcend war with ourselves
If we think our hell is heaven?
Can we transcend war with ourselves
If we think our hell is heaven?
Can we transcend war with ourselves
If we think our hell is heaven?

I'm thinking in the end it might be better
I'm thinking in the end it might be better

From the hand of God
We are running out of time

A decision must be made
They might be frayed but
They'll still detonate... the bomb!

The hand of God
Running out of time


10. MAN OF VIRTUE

Dying to live, trying to fit narrow
Dying to live the definition

I won't be conned
I won't be ensnared!
I won't be conned
I won't be ensnared!

To tell you the truth, you make me sick!
To tell you the truth, you still have nothing!

You are violent, but I feel nothing
Your entitlement? I owe you nothing!
I watch you deflate and I see nothing
You're not my saviour this time!

No!

No point in trying to fix this narrow snare
You're still slack-jawed, listless and soft

Man of virtue. I will hurt you
And my heart is too cold
And I lack a gentle touch
And I do not exist as a constant to your crutch

I disregard your moral failings
If you couldn't get it up

And my heart is too cold
And I lack the sympathy

It's too small
It would split if I would give you what you need
The constant to your crutch
If you can't get it up

You're failing
You can't control the clutch

I lack a tender heart
Can you function with no backbone?
I have no consolation
I'm running out of patience

Can't control the clutch
So soft and slack-jawed

My conscience is crystal clear
My conscience is fucking crystal clear!


11. CARBON COPY

This cannot stay alive
The lie in a hive mind!

Realize the faction won
Your goal is work, buy, die

Just know
I don't want your acceptance
Or your forgiveness
I don't want a leader
I just need a witness

We carbon copy
For your profit
We tied our hands in tradition

Unravel the thread that anchors me!
Deconstruct the fibres that are clinging

You grieve for what's lost
I grieve for what never was
It always feels the same!

I want no part
I know, produce for yourself alone

That's probably why they hate you the most
Existing to suck you dry
Take away from the host the substance

You are a resource for them to harness
I'm opposed to my function
The veil is not my composition

Unravel the thread that anchors me
Deconstruct the fibres that are clinging

In the chronicle you were a sentence
Destroy the archive let them rebuild

I don't need a leader
I just need a witness

I am opposed to my function
Cut out the thread
Done with antiquity in a dying system

The scene, it had no love for me
I don't exist in life

A drone to work, buy, die
Believe in anything
Typical, this life
Work, buy, die!


12. WADE IN THE WATER

I heard you could walk on water
I watch you play victim to the tombs
Slaughter of a filthy pig!
I'd watch your skin turn on the spit

But I wouldn't consume
I won't infect my body

Syllables
Invite you to your tomb
Favour taken, service

To rip out the tongue
Let them suffer
Aware if their miserable lives
Restore balance and move on
You grow submissive, unbearable

I don't do this for justice
The look in your eyes as we consume you

Wade in the water
A beast to slaughter
Wade in the weight, the water
A beast to slaughter

I'd gladly watch your skin turning on
I know you're seeing this through
On the back end

Set in your conviction, are you?

I heard you could walk on water
The flesh is rotten
Burn till it's forgotten


13. WE ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE

Come closer dear so you can hear me
Give me your name, I'll speak it softly

You will be consumed
Closer
Let it seep right through
Closer

No reason to stand in the doorway
It's been so long since we've had a visitor
A room with no number and no name
So long since we've fed off the innocent

Put your hands on the barrier

The imprint of the blood
Is your hands on the barrier!
The imprint of the blood
Is there!

When you first walked in
It was holding you back
It was my hand
I was holding you back

Innocent is better when it's dead
And my death is better when it's fed

We all float here
We're still floating
We all float down here

No reason to stand in the doorway
It's been so long since we've had a visitor
A room with no number and no name
It's been so long since we've fed off the innocent

Put your hands on the barrier

The imprint of the blood
Is in your hands on the barrier
The imprint of of the blood
Is there


14. YOUR GOD IS TOO SMALL

When I was young I was taught God
They equated their fear with a real love

In time the dissonance becomes believable
It is a constant reminder
That it grows, my whole life
A toxic shadow stays with me at the seams
And I know it's insidious

In the light still the outline
Stays with me at the seams
And I know it's insidious

Your fear is not enough!
It's cheap and it's meaningless!
The doubt has cast a shadow
Eroding my mind
They treat it like a sickness
They fear I am not contagious

Realize!
Your God is too small!

See the outline grow
The flower is in bloom
I see it underneath
A shadow sings to me

That it grows my whole life
A toxic shadow stays with me at the seams
And I know it's insidious
In the light still the outline
Stays with me at the seams
And I know it's insidious!
It's insidious
I know it's insidious

Rip out all the seams
Let it breathe
Fear is not the same thing

Your God is too small!

There's blood on the pages
Right where his name is
