1. VIOLENT COMPULSION FOR CONQUEST

Lusting for power
Imperial visions of supremacy
The need to control
The need to conquer
Violent compulsion for conquest

False flag train bombing
Pretext for war
September 19, 1931
The kwantung army opens fire
Artillery shells explode
Routing young Marshal Chang
Invasion begins

Mechanized divisions
Storming up the railway
Siezing city after city
Capturing oil and steel reserves
Mobilizing for global domination

Lusting for power
Imperial visions of supremacy
Violent compulsions
Need for endless conquest


2. SPLIT APART BY FIVE CHARIOTS

Whispering poison into the king's ears
Scheming to usurp the throne
Parading about a man, cock thrust through a wagon wheel, to entice the queen dowager
Execution is the only end

Split apart
Giant cock
Split apart for his giant cock

False castration
Creep into the harem disguised as a cockless eunuch
Licentious debauchery
Conspiring to sieze power
But the king crushes the coup with ease

Split apart
Giant cock
Split apart for his giant cock

Three generations of family
Cruel execution
Flaying skin from flesh
Binding each limb to a horse drawn chariot
Explosive dismemberment of Lao Ai at the touch of a whip


3. IN SOLITUDE - SUN MOON HOLY CULT PT. 3)

Mad with blood lust
Blinded by the amorphous and obscure power which I wielded
Might became my virtue

An entire life spent in vain, in search of an equal
Lying here in my final repose
Utterly alone without friend or foe

(translation)
In my youth, I recklessly duelled whomever crossed my path
Sword fuelled by arrogant confidence
With unmatched fury and aggression,
My heart surged with joy as my power grew

My second sword caused only misery and pain
Murdering righteous men with a sword that is formless and adaptable
I abandoned that which filled me with remorse

With my third sword, I overpowered my foes through crude strength
Their arms withered under the weight of my strikes
None in the martial realm could hope to match me
With each passing duel, my heart became more and more unsettled

The final sword was a sword without a sword
In my hands, a blade of grass can easily cut the hardest iron
All martial contests were foregone conclusions


4. HARMONIOUS IMPIETY

Obligated to tradition
Worshipping the dead
Blind to reason
Bound and shackled,
There's only one way to live

Obey your fucking gods,
From birth beyond death
Can't conceive of autonomy,
Serving on your knees
Living as nothing but property
Blinding conformity

Smash the altars of your elders
Cutting hair and beard
Harmonious impiety
Birth is life's true enemy

Futile, faithless promise,
Harmony in silence,
Confined inside your head
Unending cycle of piety


5. RACE TRAITOR

A yellow face in fresh snow
Embracing ignorance
Blind to wrongdoing
Wearing a mask of stone
No objections, no weakness
Mental pressure boiling over
Speak and betray

Breeding apathy
Scum will rise

Poisoning the well
Denial of justice

Sick of this self betrayal
Explode
Calumny
Surrendering weapons to the enemy


6. REEK OF BURNING FREEDOM

Twelve thousand pounds of freedom
Falling from the sky
Rain of flaming justice
Salt the earth in vengeance

Freedom measured in cities burned
Democracy reckoned in witchhunt massacres

Flaming napalm death liberation
Viscous liquid hellfire
Apocalyptic inferno north of the 38th parallel

Callously tallying civilian deaths
Acceptable collateral damage
Precision bombing of military targets
A hundred innocents murdered for a single soldier
Firebombing of Sinujiu
Razing the city to ashes

Violent intimidation
Every city and village a target

Reek of burning freedom
Stench of flaming corpses
No ground gained nor lost
Another victory for liberty


7. PEREGRINATION TO THE UNBORN ETERNAL MOTHER

Prophesied coming of Maitreya Buddha
Death of all desires
Envoy of the unborn mother
Leading mankind back into the lotus womb

Return to the unborn eternal mother
Return to an infinite cloud utopia

Portents under a brilliant comet
True scriptures handed down from father to son
Fracturing into uncountable constellations
Calculating rebellion in the stars

Return to the unborn eternal mother
Return to an infinite cloud utopia

A hundred thousand white lotuses
Blossoming throughout the land in profusion
Mercilessly pruned by imperial forces


8. SCRIPTURE CONTAINING THE SUPREME INTERNAL ENERGY ARTS THAT RENDER THE PRACTITIONER INVINCIBLE THROUGHOUT THE MARTIAL REALM

Forbidden techniques sealed in peerless starsteel
Dragon slaying saber, Heaven reliant sword
Fomenting ceaseless strife throughout the wulin
Tears dripping from woundscars on Huashan
Sworn blood oaths as fragile as new snow
Chivalry worth a handful of whispers
