Skinned flesh, picking the bones
Beaten and stripped by the mindless drones
Profit through greed, broken deal
Contract locked, permission to steal
Interest charged, the line is crossed
Bleeding dry at any cost
Fees on fees, continued sting
Vultures prey, the poor will bring
Spend their life, to pay it back
Passed down to kids to pick up slack
Money for air, on which you choke
Taxed enough to send you broke
Hung out to dry, the final stage
Tapped to vein, your now a slave
Yours is mine, mine is mine
Filthy corporate lack of spine
Open wide and take it all
On your knees against the wall
Strap you in, buckle down
Hold you under till you
Rack up debt, leaches lend
Forced to pay until the end
Cant afford, life at all
Sold you out until you fall
Force the hand, sign the deal
Open wound, you cannot heal
End in site, pay or die
On the streets, you cannot hide
Cant escape, twist the knife
The end has come, foreclosure of your life
Money for air, on which you choke
Taxed enough to send you broke o
Hung out to dry

Black to Red

Deep in the fields, of burning eyes
They follow us, into the skies
They reach into, the deeper depths
The nightmares here have no regrets
Shall we stay, I’m dead inside
The flesh is all that helps us hide
Follow us, the reassigned
Crawling through a fractured mind
The moment when the time has passed
All seeking truth, the unsurpassed
Thoughts devoured, disinclined
Erasing truth thats left behind
Lines that go from one to three
The promises they gave to me
Cant be alone, their always here
They hide and then they disappear
Frozen to the end of time
Circling, inside my mind
Reaching in to pull me through
The feelings you never knew
Existing just to see the end
Cross your heart, and hope to mend
Bent and twisted, living dead
Parasitic, open wound
Cutting deep, in solitude
Where to go, cant see the end
Wind back the clock, you will descend
Vision turns from black to red
Under the flesh, its pulls a thread
Rip the scab, to see inside
Blackened thoughts will be your guide
I see it now, it calls to me
The lines that go from one to three
Don’t hold me back, I’m next in line
Actuality Destroying the fabric of time

Actuality
04:05

Through the eyes, you analyse
The signal flows, Metastasize
Calculate, Disseminate
A version of the truth
Questions asked, no answer told
Search within, it will unfold
In persuit of all i know
propagation and the mind will grow
The mind a slave to thought conceived
Of what you see and you believed
Impulsive thoughts, in remand
Adaptation guides the hand
Consciousness, is nothing more
Than feeling that, you think you saw
Thoughts react, interpretation
Is it real or just perception
Projecting from, the light refects
The cell inside, that cant forget
The comfort in not knowing why
The reasoning you quantify
No questions asked, no answer told
The search within, it will unfold
In persuit of all i know
propagation and the mind will grow
Actuality
Taking over me
Actuality
The reason you were meant to be
Reality
Perception of the truth
The truth that you perceive
Of what you think and what you believe

Scratch the surface, the lies appear
The time has come, you’ll disappear
The truth is now becoming clear
Control the shallow
Insult intelligence
The truth its lost its meaning
It’s time to drain the swamp
It’s time to drain the fucking swamp
Fabrication, your forte
You’re just the same lie every day
Now I’ve failed the leader in
The race to lose i cannot win
United in a state of hate
Redneck privilege take the bait
The loudest voice is always heard
No matter what or how absurd
It’s time to drain the
Ignore the truth, all who appose
Drain the swamp, of those who chose
It’s all OK, your’e just like me
IQ of most kids under three
Cant change their mind, ignore the facts
Excuse for every vile act
Pride in lacking empathy
No moral code, is their decree
Flies to shit, seductive lies
Attract the stupid, scorn the wise
The more you speak, the dumber they get
It’s time to drain the swamp
United in, a state of hate
Redneck privalege, take the bait
The loudest voice is always heard
No matter what, or how absurd

Under The Strain

Carry the weight, sinking like a stone
The reason the blame, take it on your own
Darkness within, stakes are all high
Under the skin, it’s harder to try
Trapped in my mind, is where I’m now
Medicated to deal, numb is all i feel...i cant
Feel any less, nothing inside
Only way out, failing outside...dealing with reality
Beginning to end, i cannot defend
Grief and the pain, under the strain
Flowing through
Feel any less, hollow inside
Only way out, time to end this hell
I hide inside
Each day
A struggle worse now than the last
Pushing up hill
Blinded by a shadow cast
Trapped in my mind, is where I’m now
Medicated to deal, numb is all i feel...i cant
Feel any less, nothing inside
Only way out, failing outside....dealing with reality
Beginning to end, I cannot defend, grief and the pain
Feel any less, hollow inside, i failed
grief and the pain, under the strain, grief and the pain
Feel any less, hollow inside
I failed
Beginning to end, I cannot defend, grief and the pain
Feel any less, hollow inside, i failed
Grief and the pain, under the strain, grief and the pain
Under the strain
Inside
Bright lights of the moments left behind
The memories that are made to last, only to unwind
Good times go too fast when cracks begin to show
Are you there or unaware, will to live now in decline
My patience wearing thin
The scars under the skin
The mask I’m forced to wear
The pain that i cant even share
I’m faking every day
It slowly slips away
It’s time to say goodbye
Don’t try to stop me or try
Carry the weight, only mine to own.
The reason, the blame, is what you’ve always shown
All consuming
Darkness within, kills the will to live
Shutting me down, nothing more to give,
I cant stay here
Trapped in my mind, is where I’m now
Medicated to deal, numb is all i feel...i cant
Feel any less, nothing inside
Only way out, failing outside....dealing with reality
I cant stay here
All consuming

Hymn of Hate

Fallen angels gather in the sky
Unite the king of terrors
Rapturous angels in unity defy
Drown in a sea of horror
As life denies
Another dawn dies
Death reborn
Rise
Through barren wastelands
Of solitude unknown
Ethereal frontier
Masters dominions knighted to the thrown
Baptised from blooded tears
As life denies
Another dawn dies
Death reborn
Rise
Fallen angels gather in the sky
Unite the king of terrors
Rapturous angels in unity defy
Drown in a sea of horror

The time has passed, since i
Once felt the need, to fill the hole
That opens wide, devours the weak
The young the old
To challenge or to run and hide
I cant resist i will confide
In anyone, who crosses me
Before they end i make them see
Skin crawl, Infection from the inside
Peeled flesh, destruction is nullified
Stripped bone, picking at the eyes
I’m not alone, from the earth up to the skies
life that was, but now i own ten fold
Taken all, values and your moral code
A gift of life i now devour
the hollow depths in the final hour
There’s more you know
Their just like i was
I’m here to help
To make them more like me
The way in which
Your’e meant to look like
A martyr for
The world to see in me
Skin crawl
Infecting all inside
Peeled flesh
Destruction is nullified
Stripped bone
Picking at the eyes
I’m not alone
From the earth up to the skies
But now i own tenfold
Values and your moral code
A gift of life i now devour
The hollow depths in the final hour
In the shadows, they follow through
Beneath the surface, calling you
A seething violent pedigree
That's null and void of empathy
Crossed out eyes , that draw the flies
All’s forgiven, when he dies
The voice inside, guides me to
The path that leads, is straight and true
Straight and true

Not Like You
02:58

Not pointing the finger
Not stating a fact
Just observing the way you behave
And the way you act
Believe when i say to you
Look me straight in the eye
You say your word is gods honest truth
But even god is a lie
You’re a self made man with a scar on your life
That opens up and bleeds like a slice from a knife
Self importance and the verity
I’m not like you, and will never be
I’m not like you
I’m not like
You say your not like me
I’ll follow through, you wait & see
The voice inside that leads you there
it’s getting louder i fucking swear
Hold me down ill cut the pain out
Losing blood and start to blackout
You’re a self made man with a scar on your life
That opens up and bleeds like a slice from a knife
Self importance and the verity
I’m not like you, and will never be
Hold me down ill cut the pain out
Losing blood and start to blackout
You’re a self made man with a scar on your life
That opens up and bleeds like a slice from a knife
Self importance and the verity
I’m not like you, and will never be
I’m not like you
I’m not like
