Hymns of Oblivion
06:36

Rising up from a pallid tomorrow
Never meant to be
Hide behind smiles wide false and hollow
Invisibility
Climbing high on the backs of the ignorant
Standing tall mighty grip to intolerance
Splitting wide with the axe of the privileged
Crushing force of policy
Play pretend from positions of power
Casting chains on all
Intimidate heart of stone cold and sour
Stand above the law
Striking out drive apart
Keep the hatred strong
Be the pet on the leash
Of the corporate throng
Puppet strings knotted deep
In the capitol, strangle unity
Words of clay tightly form to the narrative
Blinding silver tongue
Tuning in hear the words of your profiteer
Hymns of oblivion
Smoke and mirror fan and crack
In the dead of night
Slight of hand stack the deck
With an ugly might
Titan force no restraint pulling harder
Fall to depravity
Swallow hard the bitter pill
As your masters break your will
Laughing at your feeble lives
While dancing on your grave
Juggernauts hide in plain sight
Feed you poison out of spite
Tribalism join or die
There is no other way
There is no other way

Kill the Rich
05:21

I find myself exhausted by
Superiority
I want to simply live my life
By simply being me
Standing on my feet
I force a smile to my face
While staring blankly at a world
So full of man’s mistakes
Warring to no end with our family
And our friends
Keeping knives placed on the throat
Of peace time and again
We never stop to think about
Why we feel the way we do
Take a closer look, you’ll see
The strings attached to you
Kill the rich
There’s a class of people with no cares
Relying on us all
To hate and fear the world outside
To keep them standing tall
Hiding in the shadows while
Standing in plain sight
The elephant that’s in the room
His iron grip is tight
The cost of living on the rise
Our nightmares made alive
Pick the pockets of the blind
We struggle to survive
Although one day I think you’ll find
That money cannot buy
Your safety is in jeopardy
Your life we will deny
Kill the rich
No longer will you influence
No longer can you lie
We smile in our unity
As you are burned alive
Your screams of agony will be
A song upon our ears
A penance must be paid in full
For sins of countless years
And so we close this chapter
Of a future to unfold
The meek will bear the riches
While they feed the gallows pole
The wrongs made right by penalty
We march them to their death
No more will they control the world
Pay with their final breath
Pay with their final breath

I’m getting used to losses
Things won't be the same again
Welcome to the thoughtless
Age of man
Where thinking is done for us
Anything to pacify
Keep us safe, defend us from
An end
Getting used to being numb
Things won’t feel the same again
Welcome to the heartless
Age of men
Where anger is the only
Emotion we can quantify
Hate and fear until the
Bitter end
Protect us and feed us the lie
The threat of the world is alive
Death always lying in wait
Protect us from meeting our fate
Shield us from hurting ourselves
Identities placed on a shelf
Numbers are all that remain
Life support quelling the pain
Protect us and feed us the lie
The threat of the world is alive
Death always lying in wait
Protect us from meeting our fate
Shield us from hurting ourselves
Identities placed on a shelf
Numbers are all that remain
Life support quelling the pain
Life support
Life support
Life support
Life support

Poison In Us
02:56
|

Doesn’t matter what you say to me
I’m prone to hate
Doesn’t matter what the papers say
I’m gonna break
The weight of the walls
As the world falls apart
Grinding my bones into dust
The sound of the screams
Outside my door
Are riddled with cancer and rust
Doesn’t matter what you think of me
I’m gonna fight
Doesn’t matter if the muzzle’s on
I’m gonna bite
The weight of the walls
As the world falls apart
Grinding my bones into dust
The sound of the screams
Outside my door
Are riddled with cancer and rust
Poison in us
Is rotting away
Poison in us
Is social decay
Poison in us
Is driving apart
Doesn’t matter if you understand
I know you don’t
Doesn’t matter if you lend a hand
I know you won’t
The weight of the walls
As the world falls apart
Grinding my bones into dust
The sound of the screams
Outside my door
Are riddled with cancer and rust
Poison in us
Is rotting away
Poison in us
Is social decay
Poison in us
Is driving apart
Doesn’t matter if we’re family
Can’t be too sure
Doesn’t matter if we’re friends or not
We never were
The weight of the walls
As the world falls apart
Grinding my bones into dust
The sound of the screams
Outside my door
Are riddled with cancer and rust
The poison in us
We made it this way
The poison in us
We thrive on our hate
The poison in us
We keep it in place
The poison in us
We nurture our fate

Social Schism
04:34
|
|||
Welcome to the new world
We think you’ll love it here
And if you don’t, you are cast out
We’ll make you disappear
This is no threat if you conform
And celebrate our cause
Just keep in mind, you must fit in
Or be thrown to the dogs
One mustn’t think too hard
Never ever speak against
Our agenda is the future
Another way does not exist
So wear a smile and take a leap
Follow the leader like a sheep
We are offended, we are weak
Making logic obsolete
Welcome to the social schism
Iconoclastic mysticism
Destroying your identity
To unify society
The time has come for one true vision
Hypocrisy the new religion
We burn our books destroying lessons
For clarity and man’s progression
We will not tolerate mistakes
Forgiving those is not our way
People never really change
Until they die they are the same
Welcome to the social schism
Iconoclastic mysticism
Destroying your identity
To unify society
Welcome the social schism
Double standards, endless wisdom
Silence those who side with reason
Insanity will reign supreme

Spiders, I see them everywhere
Feel them crawling on my skin
And in my fucking hair
Spiders, I can’t escape their grasp
Lure me with fantasy
I fall into their traps
Their poison is tearing away at my mind
Spiders, whisper in my ear
Speak to me of blasphemies
And everything I fear
Spiders, spinning all their lies
Feeding insecurities
To sweeten up their lives
Spiders, In the corner of my mind
Catching little pieces of my soul
For supper time
Spiders, draining everything from me
Rushing from the shadows
Coming out to feed
Their poison is tearing away at my mind
Clouding my judgment and making me blind
Spiders, never content
Ruin your everyday
Til every life is spent
Spiders, snatching innocence
Fucking kill them all
Before we kill ourselves instead
Their poison is tearing away at my mind
Clouding my judgment and making me blind
