Be My Enemy 03:50
filth spewing from out your mouth I got your threats punching into my brain you got my breath coming in short and fast you got my life hanging there by a thread you,ll leave me dying there, twisting my truth into despair you want me to declare, admit to lies that will betray not this day chill is creeping into my bones your hate is burning into my flesh but submission to this is a compromise sad witness indeed to truth,s demise and all that you want is a tyranny while my life to you is a blasphemy you,ve got your grand designs to bend us all unto your will forever slaves and whipped, divide and conquer, blood will spill not this day I will rise above all of this resist the pull down to the abyss screaming in pain for integrity revolution and fire will set me free and on this day

The Purge 03:44
we ride the ferocious wind, taking life from those who,ve sinned grim retribution for narcotic vice you,ve crossed the line and now you have to pay the price you were born kicking and screaming you,ll die the same on a blade that,s gleaming calling card from above, the iron hand a red terror foul that creeps across the land you,ll come to fear me, you will not see me, I reign from on high call me vigilante, call me the scurge, I am the scumsucker I am the purge I will fight against your liberation caravan of death leads to extermination the enemy of free democracy an evil state that acts without impunity behind these words and deeds there lurks a black shadow that pulls the strings of all the puooets in a row deafening silence from those i,ve disappeared their ghosts will haunt me, they taunt me,beyond the grave suffocating mask, near death experience castration with a rope, no self defence am I the shepherd or the lone wolf? extraction one by one let pain engulf torture of the mind, my speciality confess to me to earn a little clemency I will follow you, be careful where you tread I,m behind you, beside you, I,m in your head

mass appeal, away the layers peel, so revealing, the cards you,re dealing eat the shit to which we submit, sleep walking, you,re double talking maladiction, feel the heat of friction, caught in quicksand truth imprisoned over-rated,too much stated ,saturated from fortress hatred stand for what you believe but whilst you deceive I will not sing your hymns of hate in the land of the free and the home of the brave you can hear the hymns of hate praise the power, make it great that creates a nation, make it great and conquer we must, make it great when cause is just it,s just absurd how, make it great he,s celebrated, make it great but I,ll not sing now, make it great your hymns of hate alt-right, assassins of the light, so enlightening, white lightening critical, the words are minimal,territorial, unconstitutional separatist, rule them with your fist, build it higher and stoke the fire cruel and wrong the wrath is so strong, no redeemer, you,ll stop the dreamers incubate the seeds of racist hate, with constriction, unholy mission humiliate those who penetrate and shine a light on your collusion power mad, aint it just so sad how you charmed them and now disarm them righteous anger, now the votes desert you, tide is turning and fear is burning

Dark Daze 04:33
another day my brain is screaming, righteous anger inside my head cast aside, I,m lost again, stranded in this desert of love waking to the realization, the days that pass are dreaming and I,m unravelling like a thread, got the look of the living dead now all my friends are enemies, it always ends this way and I,m treading on hollow ground, struggling to find my way dark days, kill the light, dark days, you gotta fight dark days, kill the light, man you gotta fight treason weaker than weak, trouble walking, the air,s thick with the scent of decay my body,s burning, flesh defiled, a trippy nightmare but it,s for real wasting away, nothing inside me, a sickly mess of skin and bone and I,m part of the scavenger army, rip out your heart it,s my revenge storm clouds on the horizon, darkness is falling fast with night comes the alienation, I feel cursed with a rising dread but I,m not him, I ain,t the one, who gave you love with only his fists I,ll fight the pain of the poisoned arrow, bear the weight of tears and sorrow
5.
The Butcher 02:58
you,re just meat to me, so pleased to meet thee you,re so blind that you don,t see me as prince of darkness I,m revealed to you silent screams within, now you are paralysed you,ll regret the day you stepped out on the street can,t stop the hate I feel, yield to my cold steel you,re so mediocre that I,ve gotta choke ya I,m the butcher now I,ll cut ya you,re so mediocre that I,ve gotta choke ya I,m the butcher now I,ll cut ya out welcome to my world it,s so dark in here nothing,s tangible, just the smell of fear compulsion deep within for a prize of skin I will steal your face, how I need it stay with me a while, you can watch me dine on others that have strayed, creature so divine I,m watching, I,m waiting, I,ll take you something,s dead inside, no feelings of remorse beyond depravity, a mask of sanity I,ll be quick to act you won,t be coming back a truth held within a bloody well of sin there,s no humility just impulsivity I,ll be conseptualized and live on in their dying eyes

first there was the word that we heard, reverberating sound reaching out beyond the blackness, bringing gifts of life taking on the shape of man-god, you loved us as your own waiting for the gods, waiting for the gods shining out across the night sky, the lights of those who,ve passed their spoken word is passed on down, revered and full of weight raise the stone to watch the stars with, our work now here is done we measure time and passing days for what? they will not know waiting for the gods, waiting for the gods waves of evolution pass us by and at the gates we stand where shadows in the rising sun are both equal for one day encoding knowledge in the land so our story will prevail nature is the great redeemer, into the flood we,re cast waiting for the gods, waiting for the gods boots on the ground, eyes to the sky boots on the ground, eyes to the sky they,re here
7.
Division 04:26
with a bomb in my bag and death in my eyes incubating a plan that lives in my head I,ve been living to die for the sacred cause i got my reasons inside to make you all dead gods of war grow ever stronger lines of dispossessed ever longer and so the ghosts will always haunt you bringing visions of a bloody future I was born of devastation, raised to hate for a terror nation crawling inside a web of deceit, constant war, repeat defeat rising up and above the golden sand building walls to defend our holy land harvesting from the seeds of hate we,ve sown a place we,re taking back to call our own turning deaf and blind with this disease we,ve got your nation dying on it,s knees uncle sam is a friend of development foreign policy, fucked up experiment better run just while you fucking can my attempt at tolerance just a sham you and your kind, something I despise wipe you all away with fire and lies religious dogma is my guiding hand flames of hatred burn across the land I,ll eradicate you I will persist crush you maggots with my holy fist
8.
now winter,s knocking at your door you can,t run so swift as once before an icy grip is on your shoulder a withering look that say,s you,re older beat your chest and stride the world proclaim your life with banners unfurled muscle bound and glory stained with deeds of wonder all life,s gains the sun is high in your life,s sky but soon to set, you can,t defy the dark that pumps your heart with fear the enemy of youth is here the enemy of youth still marching, still marching, forever marching wild beasts, you,d chase them to their lairs now silver streaks run through your hair father time,s a friend no longer as foe he claim,s you cos he,s stronger once I thought you,d live forever in wizened love we cling together your scattered seed once set to sail have now returned to watch you fail
