1. EVERYTHING IS NOT UNDER CONTROL

Now it’s twenty twenty-five
The dead arise to claim your life
The TV says it’s martial law
Outside the streets run red with gore
Nothing is under your control

Contrails like portents in the sky
Whole continents are on the slide
As toxic seas boil black with blood
The realization dawns we’re really fucked
Nothing is under your control

No germ of mercy in this flesh and bone
This resurrection will not save your soul

Shuddering on the brink of hell
At the beginning of the end
Now the abyss opens below
Nothing is under your control

Welcome to Armageddon time
The end is really fucking nigh
A carnival of homicide
This thing is eating us alive
Nothing is under your control
Is this the fall of man?
Is there no way we can
Survive?

Nothing is under your control

No gene for mercy written in these bones
This resurrection will not save your soul

Shuddering on the brink of hell
At the beginning of the end
Now the abyss opens below
Nothing is under your control

Save your soul
No control
Save your soul
No control
This centre cannot hold
No control
Save your soul


2. FOLLOW YOUR PROGRAMMING

Annihilate
Instinctive aggressor, fucking slay
Lacerate, eviscerate, decapitate
Become the bane, smash the brain
Bones will break

Assassins dining out upon this rape
Drunk on this adrenalin that we crave
Stamping on this shattered face
Feeding like flies on this violence
Consumed with rage

Remember they’re not alive
Don’t let them cross that line
Lank skull faces behind the wire
Fittest only will survive

Liquidate
We came here to terminate
This fucking threat
Imperative that we obliterate
Celebrate, keep the faith, use your hate
Cannot let the enemy contaminate
Brainless state, a blank slate
Unthinking slaves
Sanction for this massacre
Must destroy this anathema, to save the day

Remember they’re not alive
Don’t let them cross that line
Lank skull faces behind the wire
Fittest only will survive

Get down, stay down
In your fucking graves

Follow your programming
Don’t let humanity get in the way


3. SEVER

Will you always haunt me?
Shall I never lay you to rest?
Apparition fatal to me
Now and on the day when you left

Stillborn emotions turning blue
This memory I finger like a wound
I’m sorry baby but you have to…
I’ll take you in a death embrace
Slowly sucking all your life away
My love I will tear you apart again

So wield this brutal edge and set me free
This absence makes a carcass of me

I’ll wrap my arms around you
I’ll crush you close to my chest
I’ll keep you by my side
Now until the day of your death
But you don’t need me baby
This intimate disease
This shrunken grave of nothingness
I must become the beast

Stillborn emotions turning blue
This memory I finger like a wound
I’m sorry baby but you have to…
I’ll take you in a death embrace
Slowly sucking all your life away
My love I will tear you apart again

So wield this brutal edge and set me free
This absence makes a carcass of me

Sever

So wield this brutal edge and set me free
This absence makes a carcass of me
So wield this brutal edge and set me free
I would have killed you too if it had been me


4. BLOOD FEVER

Feeling fucked up since I got that bite
What in hell was eating that fucking guy?
Sweating like a killer in this horrid night
Feelings of foreboding stalking
Through my mind
Scratching at this freaking
Itch in my flesh
My brain is gonna burst out my skull
I feel like death
Feel like crawling out of my skin
Lie here and wait for the
Nightmare to begin

Now it’s getting worse, I’m starting to twitch
Frothing at the mouth like a son of a bitch
Stay the fuck away, that light’s too bright
The way I’m feeling now
Well I must have died
Burning like wildfire in my veins
Some of the things I’m seeing
Now should not have names
My sickness breaks into bud
Tasting the beginnings of a
Terrifying lust for blood

Blood fever

Driven wild by unholy thirst
Smell of blood making me go berserk
Brain now inflamed with unceasing rage
Come here my little darling
And I’ll eat your face
Fuck that shit I’ll take all you fuckers on
Slavering and raving like a human dog
Never felt so dead but I never felt so alive
This shit is blowing my fucking mind

Blood fever

Die

Blood fever

I am the fucking reaper


5. TWILIGHT OF THE FLIES

These walls are breathing
This world is closing in
Pressure is building
Shell-shocked amid this din
Every careful structure
Suddenly swept away
Now I am naked
Beneath the hanging blade

Terrifying phantoms taunt me
Half-seen horrors crawling near
Whispering obscene miasma
Darkest fears have become real

Everything here just wants to
Rear up and bite me
Safe world effloresces into nightmare

Sick fear and loathing
Infects this fevered brain
Nerves overloading
I will disintegrate
Can’t you see them writhing
Out there beyond the pale?
Boschian abortions
Headless man laughs in my face

Terrifying phantoms taunt me
Half-seen horrors crawling near
Whispering obscene miasma
Darkest fears have become real

Everything here just wants to
Rear up and bite me
Now every bird-call is a death-knell

This is the twilight of the flies
Screams rend the fabric open wide

Everything here just wants to
Rear up and bite me
Safe world effloresces into nightmare

Incarcerated in this place
Alone afraid there’s no escape


6. DISASTER SONG

Raw shards of jagged glass
Overturned ambulance
Gas masks, plastic shrouds
Cars and buildings burned out
Tired cries in empty streets
Some things nobody should ever see
Rubble of transit camps
Razor wire and food stamps
Security for the rich
All dignity is finally stripped

The day of the disaster dawns
And we’ re walking in our sleep
Blind face of cataclysm bares
A mouth of shattered teeth
Squirming in amongst the wreckage now
Human nature’s squalid corpse
Ecstatically unconscious
Perpetrates its last debauch

Families ripped apart by fear
Time of the profiteer
Cities ruled by the gun
Praying for kingdom come
Exhausted doctors wonder how
To stem the tide for now

The day of the disaster dawns
And we’re walking in our sleep
Blind face of cataclysm bares
A mouth of shattered teeth
Squirming in amongst the wreckage now
Human nature’s squalid corpse
Ecstatically unconscious
Perpetrates its last debauch

Soon you’ll be like us

We’ll all be the same
You’ll suffer the plague
We’ll all be the same
You’ll suffer the plague


7. THIS CROWD IS CRUSHING ME

Vast populations flee
Everybody’s fucking leaving
Now we’re all refugees
Mass-exodus, the streets are seething

No escape from the endless horde
This billion-headed bastard out for blood
Stifled in the shrieking herd
Cattle to slaughter,
Drops in an ocean of dust

No place to fucking go
Praying I must be dreaming
Multitude of the hateful host
Lurching, shouting, shoving, screaming

No escape from the endless horde
This billion-headed bastard out for blood
Stifled in the shrieking herd
Cattle to slaughter,
Drops in an ocean of dust

Flash tide of panic in the streets
This can’t be fucking happening
Dear faces lost in the stampede
I’d kill you all to fucking breathe
And as you struggle to stay free
We’re crushed like rats beneath your feet
This fucking crowd is crushing me

Corpses piled against the doors
Uninfected and infected
Smothered by the rabid swarm
Charnel-pile of human wreckage

No escape from the endless horde
This billion-headed bastard out for blood
Stifled in the shrieking herd
Cattle to slaughter…

Flash tide of panic in the streets
This can’t be fucking happening
Dear faces lost in the stampede
I’d kill you all to fucking breathe
And as you struggle to stay free
We’re crushed like rats beneath your feet
This fucking crowd is crushing me

There’s too many


8. FLAIL OF GOD

Brother repent and you’ll be saved
Rejoicing in this killing pain
Suffering is the path to grace
This filth will now be swept away
Whole nations stripped and laid to waste
Grim cities of this burning plain
Acres of skin ripped raw and grazed
Inert beneath dark walls of flame

You called this wrath down on your head
Sick earth now vomits up her dead
Retribution for your vaunting pride
Flagellation of your living corpse
An agony you’ll bear for ever more
Sinning flesh will now be mortified

Flail of God

So now your fearless eyes are glazed
Clarity in this limbic blaze
Impaled upon these barbs of rage
Transgression will now be repaid
United in this rabid faith
A murmured litany of hate
And as your blunted mind degrades
Bow down and worship this end of days

You called this wrath down on your head
Sick earth now vomits up her dead
Retribution for your vaunting pride
Flagellation of your living corpse
An agony you’ll bear for ever more
Sinning flesh will now be mortified

One third part of mankind shall pass away


9. VIRULENCE

Most beautiful of accidents
These flowers of disease
Pestilence unfurling in uncanny poetry
Invisible obscenities most sinister in grace
Myriad faceless murderers
Haunting the human race

We’re always closer than you think
We’re drawing near as you breathe in
We’re in the earth beneath your feet
We’re waiting underneath your skin

How can you fight us when you know
That we will never die?
How can you kill something
That isn’t even really alive?

Invasion of the parasite
This vampire without wings
This leech will drink your lifeblood
’til it makes both of you sick
The program is corrupted
Distorted and grotesque
Embodiments of chaos will
Pursue you unto death

We’re always closer than you think
We’re drawing near as you breathe in
We’re in the earth beneath your feet
We’re waiting underneath your skin

How can you fight us when you know
That we will never die?
How can you kill something
That isn’t even really alive?

Virulence

We keep coming


10. SCAPEGOAT

Stalker
Vampire
Pariah
Lazar
Incubate the new strain
Incubate the new strain
Golem
Vector
Incubate the new strain
Incubate the new strain

Abject
Face like ash
Crawling
Up through the cracks

Carrier
Toxic burnt trash
Corpses haunting
This underpass
Incubate the new strain
Incubate the new strain

Abject
Face like ash
Crawling
Up through the cracks
Scapegoat
Tremor-wracked
Murder
Bruises rot black


11. THE UNCLEAN

Bullet-shaped visions ripping
Through your flesh
Endlessly reduplicate their
Messages of death
Silently festering, gathering in strength
Militia always on the march
Assault that won’t relent

We are the sick ones
Pushed to the edge
Patience of centuries
Awaiting revenge
Revolt of the lepers
We unruly dead
Resistance is useless
You’ll die in the end
Silently festering
Gathering in strength
Militia always on the march
Assault that won’t relent

Chaos unleashes filth obscene
Suffer the wrath of the unclean

Barbarian cadavers swarming out of hell
Ranks of foetid shadows
Number without tell
Unhallowed mutations
Propagate a sick new breed
Inheritors of nothing
Impure hordes of the diseased

We are the sick ones
Pushed to the edge
Patience of centuries
Awaiting revenge
Revolt of the lepers
We unruly dead
Resistance is useless
You’ll die in the end
Unhallowed mutations propagate
A sick new breed
Inheritors of nothing
Impure hordes of the diseased

Chaos unleashes filth obscene
Suffer the wrath of the unclean

Rising dead
Overwhelm
Rising dead
We can’t hold them


12. ANTHROPOPHAGI

Now contemplate annihilation
Devoured by anthropophagi
Wild beasts will tear us into pieces
We must prepare ourselves to die

We shall be colonised
Unfeeling lustre of those burned-out eyes
Dehumanised
Despised

Slaves to a terrifying hunger
Humid night air throbbing
With their brutish cries

Arising from the heart of darkness
Mongrel descendants of your crime
Blood-covered masks like savage totems

We shall be colonised
Unfeeling lustre of those burned-out eyes
Dehumanised
Despised

Out in the wastes beyond the chain-link
These ragged millions wait their time
Fell devils marked by this possession
Blackened masses of the zombified

Savages


13. VITAL SIGNS

I’m detecting vital signs
Thank fucking god there’s
Somebody still alive
Rush him straight into quarantine
Screening procedure for this selfish gene
Viral infection, there is no cure
Vital precaution, we gotta be real sure
Blood pressure’s low and the pulse is weak
Poor bastard’s been alone so long
That he can hardly speak

These motherfuckers are taking over
Wrecking as they go
A monoculture of fucking Vultures
Parasitic host
Pernicious locusts, consuming all
Agents of destruction
Red in tooth and claw

I’m fucking shaking, deep in shock
That fucking freak bit
My fucking hand off
Just when we thought we’d found a friend
This fucking asshole
Turns out to be one of them

These motherfuckers are taking over
Wrecking as they go
A monoculture of fucking Vultures
Parasitic host
Pernicious locusts, consuming all
Agents of destruction
Red in tooth and claw

Murder your neighbours


14. I AM EVERY DEAD THING

Feeling your cold hand
Grip my shoulder
Still I won’t look back
It’s not over
Choking on each breath
Drawn with terror
No shred of hope left
No surrender

Against this death I rage
I deny the grave
I hope they find me with
My middle fucking finger raised

Fleeing from your face
Bloody brother
Knowing we’re the same
Drags me under

This is the way of all flesh

Fleeing from sure fate
On I stumble
Driven by this pain
Ceaseless struggle
Death waits in each cell
Closest rival
Blind forces compel
To survival

Against this death I rage
I deny the grave
I hope they find me with
My middle fucking finger raised

Fleeing from your face
Bloody brother
Knowing we’re the same
Drags me under

This is the way of all flesh

Enciphered in this flesh
This sentence spells your certain death


15. TRANSMISSION

Anonymous masses
Featureless faces
Bloodlust is broadcast
This is a crisis
Capture this moment
Souls have been stolen
Outlook is hopeless
This could go global

This little room in which
We unreel our life
Fragile projections flickering
Within our minds

Now I’m enthralled
Transfixed beneath this glare

Watch as this horror
Glimmers hypnotic
Garishly graphic
Ending in static
Flinch from this vision
Atrocious exhibition
Grim fascination
Fatal transmission

This little room in which
We unreel our life
Fragile projections flickering
Within our minds

Now I’m enthralled
Transfixed beneath this glare
Can’t bear to watch this ending
This veil is rending

Voracious illusions
Haunting the ruins
Looming so lurid
Shadows consuming
This frame is shattered now we die
This frame is shattered now we die
These splinters cut into my eye
These splinters cut into my eye

Are you getting this?
I really hope you’re getting this
Fade to black
