Show me the signs
An empty casket
A sunken grave
Or the marks death finally made
A despot world
Behind the veil
Turned to process and conceal
The truth is failing
It all means nothing
A crisis actor paid monthly
Reject it all
Accept a farce
Rather that than sift through the weeds
One by one
Deeper and deeper
One by one
Forfeit it all
Unearth the dead
Show the face
Wreck the families
Cross off the names
Your fucking world view
And bankrupt minds
Won’t stave the fear
You feel inside

Say something to fill the void
One lie to solve it all
The people you hurt mean nothing
Machine grinding away
The master you serve
The people you sold
Cauterize
All your wounds
The final means
To an end
Was it worth
your fucking soul
Every day I’m slipping closer to the void
It’s there I see
Another body in a bag, another step on a path
To strike a balance, to fulfill your life, to bring an end to the strife
I’m dropping out of this life

Trephine
01:47
|

|
I know that for every note
There's a hollow word
Success is
Who you know
Outcast
Wayside
It fills me until I hate myself
I forget why I’m here
Cast down this emptiness
Resurrect that old pain
Hole
In my
Head
Break the chain and start again
Fill this hole in my fucking head
Buried in hate
Hole
In my
Head

Short Rope
01:12
|
|||
|
Raise the flags
Fuck your games
Control them all with nothing to gain
Just the wheel
All the same
Hang them all, bathed in flame
Shallow
Drop
Short
Rope
Your justice destroys the lives of them
Women and children who never wanted this
They’ll survive but at what cost
Your hollow ethics are the short drop
Gasp for air it’s a slow death
A better alternative
You save a life and give two more
Who’s the victim in your holy war
Shallow
Drop
Short
Rope

Attrition
01:33
|
|||
|
Only the dead have seen the end to war
Every day all I see is the cost
Endless waged fruitless fucking violence
Every hour, aimless death, vacant eyes
Endless waged fruitless fucking violence
|

Mule

If it’s broken then break it in half
Marrow mined on a dead end track
It’s all fucked and always was
The island’s sinking and I want out
Out out out out
White saviors who really care
Celebrities who have the answers
Pretend champions with guns and beards
The world’s insane and I want out
They hate the state but love the cops
Capitalist Christ’s favored flock
No moral compass. It’s been erased
It’s all crashing and I want out
Ignorance is a sign of pride
And the left just fucking recites
You’re wrong if you’re not totally right
It’s all burning and I’m alright
Right right right right
|

8. |
Death Knell
01:38
|
|||
|
The blade swings
Burning flesh and concave heads
A barbaric service you fucking asked for
A civic standard to keep the fiends in line
The bodies hang as a message for all: This is what happens to those who fall
Castrate
Maim
Subjugate
Tame
Us and them
In a society, “civilized”
Justice becomes torture
Mouths agape, beg for blood
Innocents have fried
For your peace of mind
Remember that
When you sleep at night
|

Pig Fuck
01:26
|
|||
|
A complex
For a little man
who signed up
to use his gun
You protect
one race one class
Militarized, left none behind, you decide, who’s in line
Marginalized, dominate, thrown away, new slavery
It’s open season for killer cops on a spree
crime drops, the violence doesn’t stop, and you get to just walk away
You betray your fellow man for a power trip and a place in hand
And every pig is an enemy of us all
|
||||
10. |
Crutch
00:49
|
|||
|
A means to cure this fucking disease
Despair at arms reach
Little crutch to help you sleep
You got yours, I got mine
Without them there’s no way to survive
This modern age is fucking cheap
Just like you. Just like me.
You’re no model, you’re a slave like the rest
No higher plane, morality null
Crutch
|

11. |
Cells
01:19
|
|||
|
Bring out the corpse of god
Permanence
Descendent
Digital ghost
The servers die
Workers starve
No one discovers, the ruins submerged, no witnesses
Universe, pulled apart, the stars finally cool and die
An accident of consciousness to this waking dream
I want it all to fall away, every name, everything
And all man ever made falls into darkness
Never had the chance to realize it was all for naught
