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

Barbed Wire Noose
02:34
|
|||
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

Bleeding Mind
05:38
|

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

Creeping Black
06:54
|
|||
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

Living Corpse
05:41
|
|||
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

Stray From The Path
05:38
|
|||
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?
