Judgement Day
02:57
|
|||
“Only our concept of time makes it possible for us to speak of the Day of Judgement by that name; in reality it is a constant court in perpetual session.”
Funding destruction
Assaulting the poor
Forcing eviction
A lifetime at war
Endless aggression
Evil obsession
Vile oppression
Genocide
Children bury fathers
Families displaced
Never ending conflict
As cultures are erased
Feed the war machine
The blood of human beings
Fathers bury daughters
The death toll on the rise
Fueling extermination
Turning a blind eye

“It sickened me that with an imperial wave of his hand, an American could sentence people to death on the basis of a cheap whim”
Death squads now control the streets
Freedom has arrived
Boots and bats wielded to beat
And crush the will to survive
Armed invaders pillage homes
Populace in fear
Screeching of the service drones
Announce the end is near
Smoke and fire rising
Bombs fall overhead
Nations in collapse
Their children lying dead
A wave of the imperial hand
Shall sentence all to die
Broken bones and shattered homes
Under a burning sky
Extrajudicial judgement passed
The noose now pulling tightk
Dissidents now disappeared
By death squads of the right
Smoke and fire rising
Bombs fall overhead
Nations in collapse
Their children lying dead
A wave of the imperial hand
Shall sentence all to die
Broken bones and shattered homes
Under a burning sky
A wave of the imperial hand
Shall sentence all to die
Broken bones and shattered homes
To justify their lies
Blood in the streets
The dirty war
Is fought for lies
Death in the streets
Prolonged assault
None survive
Boots to kick
The poor and the sick
At home and abroad
Aggression sustained
No regard
For human life
Blood in the streets
The dirty war
Is fought for lies
Death in the streets
Prolonged assault
None survive

Servile Suffering
02:16
|
|||
“There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.”
Punishing existence
Sisyphean pain
Shackled for a lifetime
For the masters gain
Hollow
Empty
Shallow
Slaving for the bastards
Bleed until you’re dry
Sell your soul for cash
And never question why
Beaten
Bruised
Mangled
Consumed
Live for pleasure
Or die in pain
Hollow
Empty
Shallow
Punishing existence
Sisyphean pain
Shackled for a lifetime
With no hope of escape

Condemned to Chaos
02:10
|
|||
“Masses are always breeding grounds of psychic epidemics.”
Hell is other people
Condemned to social suffering
Uncertain of the future
Like every other living thing
Consciousness is chaos
And we are all drifting confused
Vainly enforcing order
Chaos will consume
The social order is in decay
Evolution leading us astray
Chaos reigns
No escape
Hell in my brain
Living in pain
Chaos reigns
No escape
Hell in my brain
Living in pain
Conscious plague
Driving me insane
Every day
Something more inane
Grin and bear it
Pushing through
I can’t believe I have to share a planet with you

Apocalypse War
02:44
|
|||
“In nuclear war all men are cremated equal.”
The time has come
Cower in fear
Failure now reigns
The end is near
A species marked for death
Our suicide is all that’s left
Nowhere to run
Arguments have ended
The bombs begin to fall
Consequence of inaction
As death comes for us all
Resources exhausted
No borders to defend
Nuclear destruction
All life is at its end

Death Spiral
01:43
|
|||
“The Earth is in a death spiral. It will take radical action to save us.”
Destroyed
Face the consequence
Destroyed
No recompense
Destroyed
Caged in a dying world
Destroyed
Face the consequence
Destroyed
No recompense
Destroyed
The body count will rise
Oppressing the masses
Destroying all they see
Killing in the open
This shouldn’t be
Don’t give up hope just yet
There’s still time to leave the bodies burning
Your oppressors have bones to crack
And the populace is yearning
The rulers greed and corruption
Have left our planet sick
But there’s nothing wrong with these people
That a bullet couldn’t fix

Monopoly on Violence
01:26
|
|||
“To destroy governmental violence, only one thing is needed: It is that people should understand that the feeling of patriotism, which alone supports that instrument of violence, is a rude, harmful, disgraceful, and bad feeling, and, above all, is immoral.”
Lines drawn in the sand
Will soon be blown away
Winds of change are strengthened
Facing perpetual decay
Decay
Grasp for power tightly
And watch it slip away
Power from the barrel of a gun
Inhuman drones unleashed
In power hungry feast
Armored law enforcement
Citizens crawl in torment
Monopoly of violence
Feel the cold hand of the state
Unsympathetic madness
Fueled by its own hate
