1. SUBCONSCIOUS ENTRAPMENT

The words of holy scripture - divine rhetoric
Employed to trap future slaves
Not for the benefit of false gods

But the vultures of human kind - The false prophets
Herding the feeble minded
With their venomous influence

Corrupting sanity

Vermin scavenging
The use of the human brain
To plant the seeds of belief
Replicating thoughts of their own

Decoding the mind
To find how we feel
To use emotion against ourselves
When we're most vulnerable

Attack on the personality
Blasting away the barrier
Forever struggling to implant
Their perceived notion of sanctuary

To establish security
Impossible to attain
So you believe that after life
That your heart and soul will be saved

Inside the void of thought
The battle for peace of mind begins
In the relentless pursuit
For Subconscious Entrapment


2. GENETIC DEVOLUTION

Genetic devolution - race regression
An illness passed down through life
Never to be cured

Never learning from mistakes
Made in the past
Dehumanizing our race
To something to be disposed

An endless cycle of destruction
Perpetuated through hate
So ruthless our struggle
Total obliteration is nigh
Brutal methods of torture
Make murder an act of kindness
Thousands die at the behest of a few
How can we continue this?

Hope in dwindling supply
As we ravage our own dignity
Raping the system we depend on
To fulfil the modern decree
Acting immorally for the interests of profit
There's no justifications to any of this
As the world burns in front of our very eyes

Our very eyes

Genetic devolution - eternal aggression
A devastating choke hold on progress
The thorn in our side

Defy against rational thought
No end for the Zeitgeist of ignorance

So blind why can't we see
Our wronged and flawed ways.
Will it ever be possible to achieve
An age of true enlightenment?


3. NOCTURNAL AWAKENING

(Instrumental)


4. PLAGUE RIDER

Beware The ships are coming
Armageddon is bound for these shores
Pestilence rides with the black death
The plague that heralds your doom

Guided by the unseen hand
To overcome all boundaries
Land, sea and air offer no hindrance
The great scourge is unleashed
Striking the heart of civilisation
No soul to be spared of the horror
The people fall one by one
As Death gorges upon a feast of souls

The feast of souls

Millions to die as society diminishes
Mass graves to house the deceased
Funeral rites abandoned for survival
Lest corpses litter the streets

Virulent mortality to those subjected
Purulent sores – wretched affliction
Futile resistance; Treated with ignorance
Mutilated to draw the disease out

Taking vengeance without mercy
No chance of repentance
Cities ravaged; There's no stop to the spread!
Nature's Genocide in full force
Interpreting the will of the Heavens
A righteous act or sadistic intent?
It matters not! As man is at mercy
To the whim of the Plague Rider
