Shower in shame anyone you wish
Hypocrite you spit and throw stones
Drag through the streets the chosen guilty
You are the scum jury, you are the filth judge
Damn all those you choose
You are the arm of your twisted god
The self-appointed moral leader
Worthless entitled maggot
And from the height of your perspective
Laughing from your throne of shit
Your fall coming soon for you
Choke and die on the mess you’ve made

Torture Paradox
05:25
|
|||
Open wounds so plentiful for salt and further wounding
Bloody arms embrace the torture, come to bring me pain
Wicked dance on broken glass in the showers of acid
Dying so exquisitely we turn and turn again
And though you may weep forever, you will never feel the same
Unending visceral torment, agonizing moments stretching on and on
Time is strange now, wrinkled and distorted
I can hear the echoes of distance voices
Sharpened weapons, gleaming steel, await the ritual torture
And soon the exchange will begin again, flesh ripped open anew
You so wish for this to end, and yet you will not break free
You just want to lay down and die, but you will linger on

Open your eyes to the darkness
Open your mind to the void
Embrace the cold that is existence
Bleak and terrible, gone so quickly
Do away with social illusion
Entropic existence embraced
See people for what they really are
Predators with blood on the air
What is seen cannot be unseen
Instantly infected, never clean again
Spinning on a rock through the darkness
Waiting for the end that never comes

Deum Absit
04:54
|
|||
I heard the promise of messiah
Heard the empty words spoken by the wise men
I saw the empty cradle where the lord was not
Felt the quaking future, nothing certain
Bow down to the empty throne
Give your eternal service to the absent
But there is no one to hear your prayers
God is not here
With great wailing and gnashing of teeth
Comes the cries of the people of the earth
But they fall on deaf ears, there is no one in heaven

Certainty
03:30
|

Would’ve been easy to avoid this turn of fate
But antagonists will antagonize
And now the unavoidable confrontation
Now you’re staring madness in the eyes
I will unleash the hell within me upon you now
Cower in fear, flee in terror
No pain is too great to inflict for my wrath
I will decide when you’ve had enough, I will decide when it’s over
So foolish those who taunt insanity
Unwise to the fullest, playing with fire
Childish games will end with trauma
I will show you fear like you’ve never known

Harsh Truth
03:09
|
|||
It’s a cold moment when you know that you’re alone
Here in the dark, here in the wind
Fleeting shadows flit closely and then run away
Corridors of shuffling forms, weakened with existence
And so they seek distraction from everything they can
To try and build the illusion of meaning
False sentiment based on manufactured stimulus
Time and decay always show the truth
To try and deny the emptiness surrounding
You fill your lives with incident and ritual
But in the stillness, in the dead of night
Deep in your heart you know you’re already dead

Legacy of the Ancients
04:04
|
|||
Down from the north
Descended from the mountains
Born beyond the ice and snow
Far off in the darkness
Transforming the people on this backward little rock
Inspiring legends, inspiring fear and awe
Their influence is evident
Thousands of years have passed
And still they tell of the old ones
And the legend lives on

Hope Abandoned
05:38
|
|||
Cold
Never an instant I’ve forgotten
Gone
The light I thought would guide my way
Lost
And everything around is shadowed
Time
Dragging on and on into the ether
No words
Can bring my bleeding mind comfort
Never
To feel anything but pain and torture
Leave me here
Let me die
Leave me here
Let me die

Chaos Machines
05:39
|
|||
Human kind invents the concept of order
Human kind is made of nothing but chaos
Stand the blocks up in a row to show your meaning
When in reality there is no meaning at all
Gods and custom and rituals
All to try to convince
Ourselves and the world around us
But we are the chaos machines
We like to stack the delusion think
Trying to fool ourselves not to see the madness
But the brainwashing does nothing for the truth
Seven billion parasites, raping their way to the grave
