1. PULVERIZING LETHAL FORCE

Steel rips apart with hammer force - crushing blow
Screaming clarity focuses my eyes, exhilaration overpowers
All the unwinding fury of adrenaline explodes in an abrasive blast
We saw the end, it leveled towers
And obliterated time
Thrilling curse of boredom's death - it's the endless driving flow
Pummeling anticipation procreate... The need for more
Soaring beyond, seeking serpents of lore
Twisting of fate in a mountain of depth
Beating a path in uncharted terrain
Thrill-seeking quest of impalement
Lethal force...
Pulverize the unwinding fury of adrenaline
Explodes in an abrasive blast
Thrilling curse of boredom's death
...Pulverizing lethal force


2. HAVE THE WILL TO STAND ALONE

Trends and arbitrary rules
Just faces in a faceless mob
Have the will to stand alone
No place in their heap of turds
Smashed flat by the weight of conformity
Only one will have to live with the results
Have the will to stand alone
No one can choose
Smashed flat by the weight of conformity
Only one will have to live with the results
Pathetic bids for approval, draining vicious competition
The dry ice burn of elitism's cold shoulder scorches you
Have the nerve to act on your own
No one else in this world will look out for you
Deriving from inside, a wealth of endless inner strength
No one can decide for you
Trends and arbitrary rules
Just faces in a faceless mob
Have the will to stand alone
No place in their heap of turds


3. SIEGE OF THE HEADBANGER

Clad in mesh and steel and skin
The furious axeman rode the hellish sound of pounding hooves,
The carnage that ensued at dawn,
A bellowing war cry frightened us out of our sleep
No uncertainty that we would not see another night fall
The headbanger's siege begins
Some went to unsheath their arms, some ran in desperation
No matter to the headbanger, all would be slain alike
Splattered layers of victims' blood
A strength unknown to man with a mighty sword
He ran me through like a piece of fruit
Is his scream that curdles blood a squeal of vicious joy
Or the agony of his misanthropy?
Splattered layers of victims' blood
Attacking strength unknown to man
Will he eat our bones, or offer them to his clan?
Clad in mesh and steel and skin, the furious axeman rides
No uncertainty, he has come to take our lives
We would not see another night fall


4. VETERAN OF LOSERHOOD

Veteran of loserhood, elite couchmaster
Done, paid his dues, bitter and sneering
Where were you in ’86?
The sum of your achievements,
Crushed like so many beer cans
I don’t care where you were back in the day
Now you’re a neurotic, depressed, inflated waste
The twinkle in your puppy eyes has faded
Now you’re an old dog and you smell like shit
Self-righteous pouter, worthless and jaded
The twinkle in your puppy eyes has faded
Now you’re just an old dog and you smell like shit


5. INSTANT DISINTEGRATION

6. HUMAN SHIELD

All we heard, a popping sound
People drop, dead and heavy
Was it for Allah or Jesus,
Or was it built-up boredom?
Pelted with severed arms
Awash in the steaming blood of all my friends
A new meaning to the term “family barbecue”
A blinding flash, then it all went down the shitter
Slaughtered, the human shield


7. PINNACLE OF WEAKNESS

Piles of gore, seen it before
It’s not heavy, it’s the pinnacle of weakness
All those babies died for the cover
Of your crappy EP
I bet those mangled carcasses
Want to take your ass to court
For using them as shitty, unoriginal,
3rd rate Xeroxed art
I’m not gasping, I’m just yawning
One step above cartoon violence
Lame teenage jack off culture
Grainy photos of open graves
And autopsies of dead ladies
It’s not heavy, it’s the pinnacle of weakness
If you saw it in real life,
You’d piss your pants and cry
Mountains of regurgitated art pile up
Just like the corpses in that WWII snapshot
This shit isn’t brutal, I’ve seen it five other times
On five other records
Of five other weak-ass bands
Piles of gore, seen it before
It’s not heavy, it’s the pinnacle of weakness
All those babies died for the cover
Of your crappy EP
I’m not gasping, I’m just yawning


8. BLACK ROBE

Vomited from the gut of the church
Ensnared by the miserly
Ignorance of the self-righteous
Empty faith, parasitic, dismissed as hollow idiocy
And flagellation of the self
No room for martyrs
It’s your own path you choose
Many want to kill you, black robe
You led us astray
And it was you who betrayed me, black robe
My death awaits me
In this dreamy island of forest solitude
Your bitter journey of masochism
Almost ended with the grim dismemberment of my kin
Alas, you will live on alone
Though many want to kill you, black robe
Escaping the death you deserve so richly
And as we adopt you shitting, peaceful ways of weakness
It will bring about the annihilation of our line


9. STRANGLED IN ICY DREAMS

Twisted, screaming faces that pursue me
As I’m run down by a train
Wheeled me through the wreckage
To the hall of secret surgery
Behind my eyelids there is no rest
Just the gleaming teeth of beasts
Gutted with a bayonet
Now eternal nightmares
Hounds of hell, strangled in icy dreams
Pursuit and persecution
As I crawled deep beneath the street
Bathed in sewage, rats, snakes, and worms
Still aware of a black presence underlying
Searing shrapnel of explosions
And violent, twisted gore
Accelerated images, the terror inside
Carnage and flashing lights
Guided a child’s hand to ascend
The staircase lines on your hand
Have already expired… Death


10. FIGHTING THE URGE

(No lyrics available)


11. A GRIM AFTERTHOUGHT

In no time frame at all
Comes your end and annihilation
A minor error was just what it took
Now you’re just a mangled drop
In a bucket of mistakes
The day started off wrong and it became
Something much worse, with certainty
No time to say goodbye
And unglamorous death punctuates
Your short time on this world
So many potentially fatal mistakes
So many ways to expire
Too many ways to accidentally take your own life
So many ways to meet your end
Perhaps it was the cruel whim
Of your almighty lord
As you smash your own arms
You don’t realize it’s the end
Perhaps it was the cruel whim
Of your almighty lord
I think it was the casual brutality
Of everyday existence


12. RIPPING TIGHTER

The gates have been breached
Monumentous impact mounts upon itself
All the valves wide open
Flooding volcanic annihilation
Rising above understanding
And curdled, boiling hate
Piling upon the stronghold
Building to create twisted leverage
A further focused scope
Shedding self-destruction
And the falsehoods of old
By the fucking throat
Ripping the cords, wrapping them tighter
Concentrated, sustained blast exploding forth
Shedding self-destruction
And the falsehoods of old
Never relinquish your grip on this world
The gates have been breached
Monumentous impact mounts upon itself
All the valves wide open
Flooding volcanic annihilation
Rising above understanding
And curdled, boiling hate
Piling upon the stronghold
Building to create
By the fucking throat!


13. THE HIGHEST HONOR

Darkness bristles with dangerous urgency
Intensity prickles
Chills radiate from the neck down
Military presence, daily life steam roll
Massive convoy mowing down
Win over the populace or get sniped down in the street
The trucks gun down children, families,
Everything in their path
And insurgency multiplying by the thousands
Human sausage wallpapers
The marketplace and embassies
As youth obtain the “highest honor”
More bullshit talk of stabilization


14. IMPRISON YOURSELF

(No lyrics available)


15. SHRAPNEL DECIMATION

The heroes soar like eagles
Cutting the rich red twilight
Smoldering sand and the decay of death
Johnny Red Blood’s shelling
The world’s oldest civilization
Back to whence it came
Pointing and clicking
And bombing the shit out of a goat farm
These colors don’t run
Death to terrorists, git ‘er done
Snipers, friendly fire
Hero amputee took one in his fucking face
Shipping back bags of dead heroes
Raking in record profits
Writhing pile of patriotic corpses
KBR fat fucks get fatter


16. WEBS OF ENTANGLEMENT

Smuggled in more inconvenience
A price to pay for breathing air
Extensive webs of entanglement
Their opportunities to take away daily freedoms
Legislation – what a joke
Fart the wrong way, they’ll lock your ass up
Extensive webs of entanglement
I’d be content just to mind my own business
Everything has a price, trapping you
In a heaping pile of restrictions
Legislation – what a joke
We have no say anyway
Extensive webs of entanglement


17. NO ESCAPE

That finger in the face was enough
To bring forth the atavistic,
Unrestrained savagery of violence
The punch line of your short life is delivered
With rib crushing, face destroying,
Internally hemorrhaging finality
There’s no escape
Maybe tomorrow or in fifty years
There’s no escape
A moment’s lapse in judgment
Slipped a little to the left… oh fuck
Last words hanging on your tongue for a year
Shaking hands, the defeated sleep of exhaustion
Riddled with cruel, thriving cancer
Or pinned within burning machinery
Not that many nice ways to die
It’s almost random, rolling over you, you’re done
There’s no escape
God won’t save you, motherfuck
There’s no escape
