Permafrost 04:57
Centuries of subterranean slumber Encased in ice, dormant Frozen cadaver remains untouched by times hand The sickness lurks inside Beckon the thaw as it begins Releasing death so cruel from permafrost From permafrost Folly of man cannot be purged Greed beckoning the carbon scourge One more unforeseen consequence Drowning the world in pestilence Sleep no more, a newly awoken horror Upon this world released To leave mother nature but a grieving widow Folly of man prevails Beckon the thaw as it begins Releasing death so cruel Releasing death so cruel from permafrost

Evil has infested the dark halls of parliament Democracy has festered, do you smell its rotten stench? Parasitic leeches suck the lifeblood from this land Hypocritical preachers holding ruin in their hands We must now rise up No time to lose All those who lied to us Shall face the noose You don’t look so mighty with that noose around your neck Take one last look around you at the country you have wrecked You should have known just when to stop, now please enjoy this final drop Say your prayers and choke on the barbed wire I beg you look me in the eyes as I sing you this lullaby Say goodnight and choke on the barbed wire

Falling, blackened crown You’re bleeding, altered mind Obsession destroying The thing that set you free Losing your health, losing yourself Your bleeding mind, controlled by obsession Your vacant eyes, consumed by Hatred is growing Forgetting true meaning Obsession, slip further Depression, blackened mind Soon you will find, deep in your mind Your bleeding mind, controlled by obsession Your vacant eyes, consumed by Nothing You’ve lost your true self Reduced to nothing All that you feel now Nothing is real

A creeping black, the clouds descend Atomic thunder strikes the sea and the land The creeping black surrounds this world The light of day obscured by impending doom The creeping black infects us all Further and further into chaos we fall The creeping black, sulphuric rain And radiation poison those that remain Creeping black, clouds descend Light of day obscured by impending doom Hindsight is the devil’s curse As we wander on this barren world Societies have crumbled to dust Our so-called leaders betrayed our trust We wander on this barren plain War is over but the suffering remains The creeping black has consumed our lives The creeping black will always survive

Blades 04:51
The lawless rule on this domain Here now no peacekeepers remain Every child for themselves A generation raised in deepest hell Rupture the skin, sever the flesh Bleed out the vein and force out the last breath Blades will expose the true depths of the soul Violence spiralling out of control Rupture the skin, sever the flesh Twist on the handle til no life is left Blades will destroy those who wield them for gain And leave empty shells all humanity drained Hatred bursts forth from old neglect An unhealthy lack of respect Tragedy at every turn A thousand easy lessons left unlearned Now life must be taken To prove your worth in this our darkest hour Bright futures forsaken On the promise of respect and power Safety long forgotten Predators roam freely without care This city gone rotten The stench of murder heavy in the air Rupture the skin, sever the flesh Bleed out the vein and force out the last breath Slice through the muscle, tear through the nerves This is a fate that no person deserves Rupture the skin, sever the flesh Twist on the handle til no life is left Slash for your throat, gouge out your eyes No good will follow from carrying knives Drop your blades

Withered and decayed A shadow of your former self Humanity stripped away By disregard for your own health Tormented in a living hell Turning your body into a cell No-one remembers how you looked before Misery festered deep within Manifest now upon your skin Sallow and sunken Just a living corpse Hollowed out and left to rot Hopes and dreams ruthlessly shot No life left behind your eyes Your death will be no surprise Losing all control Your sanity has long been spilled Smoke and alcohol The poisons that sustain you still Somewhere between alive and dead Unravelling the vital thread Body and mind irreparably warped Misery festered deep within Manifest now upon your skin Sallow and sunken Just a living shade of death Walking on the earth Discarded as an afterbirth Hollow and rotten Just a living corpse

Those weak of mind wander naively Cannot contend with the tragedy of life Born a creature of wrath Destined to stray from the path And he said "Why art thou wroth? Countenance fallen?" Full of resentment to justify your sin Born a creature of wrath Destined to stray from the path And he said unto God "I know not. Am I my brother's keeper?" Resentment beckons through your lack of understanding A curse on Being itself Consumed by bitterness your sin is unrelenting You betray your own ideal So be forewarned, this twisted potential Dwells within all our hearts We are the evil, the slayer of brothers Is all of mankind not to blame, For each of us who stray from the path?
