plagued with forever wars
unfurl the red and white blue blood soaked rag
stars and stripes symbolize ethnocides infinite
plagued with forever wars "peace through strength"
hatred courses through their disciples

a new hell every day
01:16
|
|||
|
man will soon be an afterthought
we’re all on borrowed time bad luck is infinite
life had a great moment mankind ruined it
in solitude we don’t need mediation
if we choose the lie we must endure
these are the consequences a fever in the blood
now make your children witness the horrors you construct
trapped in a world legislated by zealots
that believe in mystic realms and fables
thousands of children slaughtered
now say to us that, any god worth serving
would condone such atrocities
we’re condemned to watch it all unfold
rend the heavens beget ruin ignite the world end it

normative violence

back from the dead burdened with contempt
we've been | you can only
patient | force a smile
for so long
waiting | until it becomes
to strike | a grimace
does no one cry here
back from the dead we met an intimate portrayal of violence
staring through the wall i've never heard you be so cruel before
this is an obscenity a crime unfolding centuries
losing confidence it was shock that did this to us all
misanthropy, deafening memories
a curtain dropped in front of emptiness
words repeat

survivor's guilt
03:01
|
|||
|
you really think you know everything | death
open you up and feel nothing | pain
pain kept me conscious I accept the embrace
so sick of entropy
let the fruit of despair liberate your belief
at these heights a fall
feels like
floating
as we trace along scars fade with each new dawn
if it gets any louder I can’t pretend things will ever get better
the residue of collapse
we’re a violent kind we live violent lives
at these heights a fall
feels like
floating
will you ever know this

no longer human

she opens the door wearing a scent you can't ignore
absorb into new oxygen
the room
step into
face black with wings beneath the maggots burrow
now you smile
eyes eaten senses heightened
claustrophobic in body decaying
consumed by rot
flies dug into flesh
face black with wings beneath the maggots burrow
now you smile
the worms made it inside the worst made me alive
void of matter gone forever
we become the dust in the palm of her hand

requiem

we'll keep the pieces of you

hanging from the gallows
no one will remember
the flesh from the bone
silently lurching forward
just the promise of
guiltless bloodbath
and eternal violence
everything is passing us by while the door is left open
from schools to barracks to factories to prisons
the limitless postponements of a life compromised
fed on our own horror
the unrelenting corporeal spectacle
betraying our want for deliverance
filled with this knowledge
our anger will open the torrents of a collective discord
they're all betting that we won't survive
while they sleep we come out at night
ours is an illness that makes death less attractive
to practice this deceit we must repress our consciousness
we must repress our consciousness
words repeat
|
||||
8. |
||||
|
quiet isolation breathing in putrefaction
consciousness a malefaction
exiled from hope we erupt
we erupt
figure it out we're so empty
we've had more than enough
begin the moment you abandon desire
patiently waiting on a future that will never arrive
the dead hands of eschatology trapped and atrophied
pose and form their diseased effigies countless tragedies
two thousands years and still this curse haunts our lives
an immoral delusion of lies
we've been corrupted by
a coalition of a christ haunted cult of death
|
||||
9. |
love all the people
01:43
|
|||
|
life is cheap disgust grows
we're not divine, just a joke
the paradise that we call earth destroyed by stupidity
we shall soon decompose
and when it ends what's the point
man made a hell out of his own fragile creation
you look so radiant
fire can’t hurt us now
death will be a great blessing
spare us from more suffering
no more sorrow I will save you all behind us are endless routines
no more sorrow I will save you all nothing is certain in life but our death
cut it
|
||||
10. |
||||
|
this is not the promise they swore to us
why do we carry on with a false one
when we breached the yawning gulf of hell
and soon found a comic futility failing over and over
man the wound of nature spreading like cancer
life is the farce we all have to lead
darkness is the essence of uncertainty
life is the farce we all have to lead
there will come a day when music
will no longer be heard again
a legacy of suicides fleeing humanity
chasing the drive for accumulation
we plant the seeds of obliteration
a civilization of excess redundancy and waste
if an absolute must be had
then I will give you just one
let all that I am
be as a forgotten dream
why carry on with a false one
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
welcome to the indefiniteness of the void
this time we did it to ourselves
there is no need to fear or hope
but only to look for new weapons
kill the cop inside my head
what is the meaning of this
accursed fucking place
violently born of fragments
retaliation
we are nothing
end this self deception
human error eternal growth
inflicts us with a wound that never heals
an aphorism on negation a pessimism above all
thrown into an existence a period of refusals
we’re witness to the spectacle
of humankind's annihilation
if this is the last moment
for me to say something beautiful
even though we were always doomed
our love was my only refuge
the hour of death is without importance
