Sacrificial mercy
Prayer for the divine
You died for your sins
And I will die for mine
Final crucifixion
Penetrate the palms and wrists
Reason death with sin
Yet the innocent still suffer
Praying to a god
That we don't even know exists
You think we've found resolve
Yet the innocent still suffer
Faulty ceremony
Blasphemous disguise
Fraudulent messiah
A worship built on lies
Mission of conversion
Force upon us his good word
You say it is God's plan
Yet the innocent still suffer
Cast assimilation
Ensure that all have heard
One god who loves all
Yet the innocent still suffer
Hammer the nail straight through the palm
Shatter the bone
Chant the psalm
His mortal blood soaks into the dirt
His death was in vain
Our sins can't equate
To the life of one
To spit in the face
Of creator and Earth
And the stars above
Foundations of greed and hatred
With regard for none

Black Blood
04:02
|

My blood is black
Dried out from the sun
Shed for them
Smoking gun
My limbs are frail
Too weak to run
Execution
Devil’s son
Bitter taste of blood
Lingers on my breath
Fills the salty air
With pungent smell of death
Clock has struck the devil’s hour
The pendulum rang
As the blade was removed from the sheath
Foaming and drooling
Blood drips from the fang
As the beast picks flesh from its teeth
Darkness approaching
The wind whispers a curse
In ancient language older than the sand
Sickness encroaching
Black clouds fill the sky
Shadows slowly wash across the land
Rain falls to the sullen ground
Silence ends distorting sound
Night ensues devoid of light
The wind blows dust impairing sight
I hear the sound of turning ground
See movement in the trees
I cough and spit and struggle
To pull myself to my knees
Adrenaline again kicks in
Struck with a sudden spike
On battered legs and bloody boots
I stumble as I hike
The agony will not subside
Closing in, it’s close behind
Losing breath, no hope in sight
Death offers its cold hand
Plunges like a knife
Tearing through the flesh
Draining out the life
A waning moon hangs in the sky
The ritual repeats
An endless serpent swallowing it’s tail
Destined as the sun rise
The cycle completes
Striking the hammer to the nail
Darkness consuming
Absorbing like a plague
Satisfies the elders in the void
Sickness resuming
Amusing the divine
A power which will never be destroyed
The prophecy perpetuates
The suffering, there’s no escape
Grasp for life to no avail
My blood is black my limbs are frail

No End In Sight
03:32
|

Nuclear detonation
Two hundred thousand dead civilians
Plutonium implosion
Ignore the ultimatum
Enriched uranium
Prompt and utter destruction
Radiation sickness
Declaration of war
Millions wounded and killed in action
Fighting until suicide
Victims piling in the streets
Until we can’t see the light
Civilian militia
Inevitable defeat
Urgent abdication
Declining merchant fleet
Offensive undertaker
Conditions are getting worse
Endless blockades
Ignore the allies' demands
And fight on
March on to your suicide
Bodies tossed down
Into caverns
Creating endless blight
Leading us to nowhere
Future’s looking bleak
Living in a nightmare
Preying on the weak
Sand slips through the fingers
Of the iron fist
The idle hand that lingers
Cuts the iron wrist
Orchestration
Confrontation
Desperation
With no end in sight
Nuclear detonation is live
You wait in fear to march and to die
Struggling through the strife with no end
The militia will break before it will bend

Modern Day Slave
03:08
|
|||
Misery and despair
In the slums and ghettos
Impoverished families
The children starve
And sleep with the rats
Under piles of trash
No chance to survive
No hope at all
Womb to tomb, live their lives in the grave
Stripped of spirits, they are damned and depraved
My brother; the modern day slave
Fat dumb and happy
Content with your life
No concern for their hunger
Consumed by your greed
Selfish by nature
Deaf to their cries
A prisoner of war
Unseen in your eyes
A boy lays his brother
To rest in the grave
Flipping through the channels
You sit in your home
You lift not a finger
But still you complain
As conditions diminish in the ghettos of Ukraine
One percent thrive
Ninety nine cry
Sentencing them to a life of calamity
Starving kids die
World leaders lie
Living their lives surrounded in luxury
When will it end
Injustice we send
Eating away like a sickness inside of me
This night will live on
Until new dawn
There’s no humanity, only insanity

Fuck You
01:14
|
|||
You scream and shout and call me names
You treat me like a fuckin dog
Enough’s enough, today’s the day
I’m walking out straight through that door
Through blood and sweat and tears
I’ve worked these knuckles to the bone
I’ve none to show and you’re to blame
No trophies no rewards
You’ve shown me none so don’t expect
For me to show you remorse
My duties done, I’ve nothing left
It’s all been said and gone unheard
I gave you power
You threw it all away
Now you ask me for a favor
Fuck you
