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

Hymns Of Hate
04:48
|
|||
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

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

Waiting For The Gods
04:30
|
|||
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

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

Forever Marching
03:34
|
|||
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
