Rise

We wage war
Not with swords and shields but with words and ideals
Demand more
Of yourself and climb leave the pettiness behind
The battlefield
Is soaked with blood but we march on til the victory's been won
Do not yield
Your cause is just and true
There is no greater god than you
Rise
Rise
Your destiny is for you to
Decide
Decide
The path you take to break on through
Hone your sword
As iron sharpens iron forge your mind deep in the fire
Onward and toward
Raise a glass in celebration those who fight in isolation
Seek your truth
Sever from and cast aside what your soul cannot abide
Fight nail and tooth
For what you're meant to be you have a greater destiny
Rise
Rise
Your destiny is for you to
Decide
Decide
The path you take to break on through
Thrive
Thrive
On bone flesh and sinew
Alive
Alive
A greater thing is here for you!

Death Throes
04:31
|
|||
Equilibrium can no longer continue
Dark energy that I must now distribute
I'm seething inside myself from the taste of things to come
The most delicious poison on the tip of my tongue
I feel my flesh breaking apart at the seams
Sinews snap, bones grind, my blood flows out in streams
Writhing around inside of my skin
Destroying the center for something bigger to come in
Wrenched from my state of satisfaction
Insatiable hunger keeps gaining traction
There is no transformation without a little pain
Make ready my sacrifice so that I can reap the gains

4. |

They came to me with chains of iron
My power evident from the start
To contain me was their desire
I flexed my muscles and tore it apart
They came to me once more with Dromi
Around my body I let it be wrapped
They laid the challenge and glory before me
Dug in my paws and Dromi snapped
The crafty dwarves they thought of a plan
To make a fetter from impossible things
To control the beast called man
Create a chain from golden rings
Drugged (by pharmacology)
Laden (down with policy)
Wrapped (up in theology)
Boxed (in ideology)
Bound (by economy)
Tied (to technology)
Infinite slavery, never to be set free
These mind forged manacles weigh us down
fettered by chains we cannot see
In a moneyed world we are tightly bound
If we're all in debt how can we be free?

Dread
03:46
|
|||
As you go to sleep tonight
Try not to think of the things that bite
Those fears that ensnare your mind
And cause sanity to unwind
This world is sick beyond belief
Our time to affect change is brief
You can't and so you start to cry
Then watch as life passes you by
The sweat that beads upon your head
Is from a deep feeling of dread
We're all compliant in this lie
You know and yet you still deny
Push down what you feel inside
The truth you're desperate to hide
That life isn't remotely fair
In hell, I will see you there

Gift of the Flies
03:36
|
|||
The weight presses in
Through your precious skin
And works it's way down
The snares all around
This disfigured face
Usurps your place
With the flick of a switch it comes crumbling to bits
Feel yourself torn
Tormented by scorn
And deep inside something is born
Gift of the flies
Reclaim the broken flesh
Remnants of lies
Throughout the world enmeshed
Hope is a crutch
You're better off without
Trapped in the clutch
Of victimhood devout
The final swing
Paralyzing sting
Down for the count when up comes the shout
Break your chain
Negative gain
Familiar tune but a brand new refrain

Symphony of Destruction
03:59
|
|||
Listen in reverence to the beating of the drums
The clanging of steel on steel
And the crumbling of concrete
This world is being torn apart
Piece by piece
Bit by bit
The sonorous melody of malady
This derelict symphony flows over me
Washes me in aural severity
Twist of metal and scrape of stone
Snap of wood and smash of bone
Rejoice
Crumbling
Cracking
Crashing and crawling
Rejoice in the utter destruction that is all around
inescapable and ever present

Mad As Hell
04:36
|
|||
I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore
Degraded
Forced down to our knees like a two bit whore
Frustrated
To the point of not giving a fuck anymore
We know our food is unfit to eat
We know our air is unfit to breathe
And yet we sit and watch TV
And hope to die peacefully
It lies decrepit
Bloated and fetid
Dried up and used
Harshly abused
Everything backward
And manufactured
We waste away
Locked in this cage
Force fed on nothing
And told we're obscene
For our reaction
To this infraction
I've had it up to here
I will not live in fear
Grab my battle-axe, and fight back!
Dictated
What we think feel and see by the forces of hegemony
So faded
Our collective memory of how life used to be
For fear of ridicule we think the same
What once was beautiful is now so plain
Myriad of colors have turned to grey
As we march on, towards our graves
