I Live On
04:35
|
|||
|
From beneath the ground it travels
It meets a scanning ear.
Though the bones are rotten and
Decayed through all these years.
The past till now it's steadfast
It's journey to complete.
It causes them to tremble
Out in the scorching heat.
Etched in granite written in
The blood of mortal flesh.
A cold abomination from
The tortured and oppressed
Though this life is finite
The sound is never gone.
In the ruins they will find it
And forever I live on.
Can you feel the earth it's shaking,
The shroud it rips and tears.
With violence and hatred towards
All those who never cared.
To listen and obey
The logic I once spoke.
Now hanging from my words,
Their necks broke, my lips the rope.

Money in the Fire
02:32
|
|||
|
Dollar, dollar bill got a one track mind, makes you blind
When you see it doesn't make any sense.
Needs to change, it isn't worth the price, the cost you have to pay.
Like a drug and you need it just to get you through the day. Hey,
Maybe since the shit is made of paper, it will burn, and we'll
find out just what it will take to make these people learn.
That the greed it creates, and the world that I hate,
Up in flames would be a shame if that didn't set it straight.
Gotta burn all the motherfuckin' money money!
Throw your money in the fire, watch it burn, bitch!
Put a bomb in the vault, all your fault when it's on fire.
Say the world is made of money, hear me callin you a liar.
Let's blow up the fuckin banks, and set fire to the malls.
And we'll slaughter the accountants, with their blood we'll paint the walls.
I know we'll entertain with the pain and abuse, and we'll
Give the world a show, they can watch it on the news.
With no cash you quit your job and then we'll see what you're worth.
Either you make us something great or we remove you from the earth!
I know you think that everything can fuckin be
bought up and sold to those that have the most mothafuckin'
cash in their hand the plan the world likes to live by
i think it's shit let's go got a new thing to try.
I know you think that everything can fuckin be
bought up and sold to those that have the most mothafuckin'
cash in their hand the plan the world likes to live by
i think it's shit let's go got a new thing to fry.

Just Insane
03:30
|
|||
|
Now I know it's true,
The voices may be right.
How can you pen the way?
Are you sure there are no shades of grey?
Guess I should be locked away.
I don't believe the things they say.
Just some chemicals in my brain.
Am I a genius or just insane?
To the earth I am a danger.
The antagonist to their plans.
I might influence the others.
Can't let them see the things I see.
I can't envision what they see.
I see grey and they see green.
And if there's no reality,
How can this be apostasy?

Better Way
04:21
|
|||
|
Did Jesus build a cross,
To hang himself today?
At least it isn't hard.
To find a savior these days.
You know, they're looking for an answer.
And they've got the perfect plan.
Yeah, but there's a price to pay.
I know, there is a better way.
They say the pains represented.
Each time we disobeyed.
Better say a prayer a light a candle.
I made that carpenter hurt today.
If you let him hang above you.
You put yourself below.
And if he walks beside you.
He'll never leave you alone.
And with his words in your mouth.
There's not much you can say.
And with his arms around you.
You'll never get away!

Six-Hundred Sixty-Six
03:52
|
|||
|
I wanna put it on your children
I wanna put it on your hand.
I wanna stamp it on your forehead.
I'm sure that you will understand.
You are numerically coded.
It will be plain for all to see.
That you belong to the dragon.
It's not hypocrisy, it's prophecy.
Six Hundred Sixty-Six!
You won't be anything without it.
But a target of my government.
You've gotta show me your allegiance.
So I know you aren't outside of it.
You realize we're in this together.
The god of love has left us both behind.
So tell me now who really cares for you?
Don't you think it's time to wear my sign?
6-6-6 this is the number of the beast
6-6-6 enscribes the greatest and the least
6-6-6 this is the number of the beast
6-6-6 without which you cannot feast

The Great Many
04:05
|
|||
|
The appointed time has come, we are armed and we're ready.
The world is at the point of the guns we're holding steady.
There is no holding back, this is the point of attack.
Christian bodies will be piled to the heavens in a stack.
Satan is about to break free from his cage.
Armageddon is the play, the whole world will be a stage.
I will be your Devil with the leading role.
The Great Many will destroy everything you ever known.
The Great Many - we number as the sands.
The Great Many - got the future in our hands.
The Great Many - in the kingdom of the beast.
The Great Many - on your souls shall we feast.
We will weave a deception like the world's never seen.
We will take your first born children, and throw them in the sea.
The beast will arise inside of my body.
And we'll rain down plagues and woes on the meek and the godly.
The deaf will be blinded, and the blind will be made mute.
As the beast grows inside, commands the army to shoot.
At the women and the children, the weak and the frail.
We'll drink the blood of the world from the prostitute's grail.
The Great Many - we number as the sands.
The Great Many - got the future in our hands.
The Great Many - those against us will be least.
The Great Many - won't be keeping the peace.
"Make love not war" will be no more.
"Make hate don't wait" will be the cure.

Paranoia
03:50
|
|||
|
Hey, don't you know they're watching me
Feel like I'm on TV
In a place I don't wanna be.
I refuse to let them see.
My lack of normalcy.
My fear of everything.
And the terror that it brings.
So now I've gotta say.
Need to take this shit away.
And the price I'll have to pay.
Is steep. Another day
Where I must not delay.
to get out of the way.
This feeling never strays.
Every time I go, it stays.
And I want it fucking gone!
Now, I know what they're capable of.
And I really don't feel the love.
And I think there's something wrong
so I, dispose of all my trust,
I know that something's up.
I think I know I'm fucked
This paranoia is so mother fucking real.
Hey, the eyes in the back of my head.
Are wishing you were dead.
All the glances they are fed.
Are making me see red.
Cause the laser infrared.
And all the sweat I shed.
Is where this shit is bred.
And I think they know why.
Each night that I have died.
They have opened and they have tried.
To find the strength inside.
All the things I really need.
And the energy you bleed.
And it all just multiplies.
And it all just multiplies.
And it never will divide.
And I hear them talking.
I can feel them stalking.
I just need to get control
get control of myself
This paranoia is so real.
You'll never know how this feels.
They're watching, they're watching
Every hour, every day.

Void Where Prohibited
03:25
|
|||
|
You just wanna shout but your voice rings hollow.
It's easy to spit when you're too afraid to swallow.
Mind control, self fulfilling prophecy.
Forgive and forget the way you ought to be.
Do what you like to do
Be who you wanna be
Fuck the things you have to fuck
See what you need to see
Say the words you wanna say
Kill what gets in you way
Exhibit what's inhibited
Void where prohibited
It's the same today as it was in the past.
Pull down your pants so they can beat your ass.
Don't hold it inside, and let it decay.
Leave it in a bag, ding-dong, run away.
I got half a mind to . . .
Don't make me remind you . . .
When someone is special, someone else becomes shit.
It's hard to figure out exactly what to do with it.
When you made me into this, now it's on your soul(sole).
Watch where you step cause I might dig another hole.
Filled with the excrement of lies that you told.
Stupid fucking bitch, fucking cunt, asshole.
This is ancient past and I'm sure of what I've learned.
But this is for the innocent who have yet to be burned.

Pope With A Shotgun
03:09
|
|||
|
The pope is ridin' high in his popemobile, he's comin' to get ya!
He's got a bullet for the heretics, he's pissed, and he's comin' to get ya!
He's trading in his robes for a bullet proof vest.
Metal cross to carve the Lord's name into his chest.
If ya think he's gettin tired, think that he needs a rest.
Machine gun to your head will show ya he's not impressed!
He's a pope with a shotgun, pope with a shotgun,
Pope with a shotgun cause everybody's got one.
Better say a 'Hail Mary', he's the pope and he's comin' to get ya!
Stash away you condoms and your pornos cause he's comin' to get ya!
Abortion clinic pamphlets, dildoes, anal beads are contraband.
Lord knows he'll give you aids if you don't put 'em in his hand.
If you're not righteous, "exit stage right" is his terrible demand.
The pope's comin' tonight, you know he'll cut ya if he can!
"Dominus Vobiscum" is the last thing you will hear before he shoots ya.
He's a pope with a shotgun, pope with a shotgun
Pope with a shotgun, even kindergarden's got some
Everybody's got one (or two).

Eye of the Storm
05:01
|
|||
|
I've been through hell and hell's about to go through me
I can't explain the way feel, the way I feel explains me
I've only got a short time to breathe, I'm about to get choked.
The storm that is my life encircles, swirls like the negativity
In my head, the sea is boiling and it's fucked up
It's about to let loose again, worse than it did the first time.
If I thought I had a chance to weather, the severity of the weather
Would probably leave me lying dead and fuckin' gone
This has to be the eye of the storm
Destruction circles me like a marksman's target.
This has to be the eye of the storm
I know I'm set to die, no turning back, no escape from this.
Pretty soon I'll have to face the other side
And that's the side where all the damage is most likely to occur.
Now if somehow, someway, I survive and live another day
It won't be long before I'm wishing it would end.
You see, my life repeats and repeats, keeps on repeating
Another day, another beating, just the way it goes
And most of the time continues to get worse.
So it gets harder an harder to stay with myself
Until it ends and just starts over again.
This has to be the eye of the storm
Destruction circles me like a marksman's target.
This has to be the eye of the storm
I know I'm set to die, no turning back, no escape from this.
This has to be the eye of the storm
Destruction circles me like a marksman's target.
This has to be the eye of the storm
I know I'm set to die, no turning back, no escape from this.
This has to be the eye of the storm
Destruction circles me like a marksman's target.
This has to be the eye of the storm
I know I'm set to die, no turning back, no escape from this.
This has to be the eye of the storm
Destruction circles me like a marksman's target.
This has to be the eye of the storm
I know I'm set to die, no turning back, no escape from this.
This has to be the eye of the storm
Destruction circles me like a marksman's target.
This has to be the eye of the storm
I know I'm set to die, no turning back, no escape from this.

21st Century Asshole
04:16
|
|||
|
Pay attention, won't ya listen real close.
While i'm screamin' to you, baby, bout' nothin' at all.
I wanna use strong words to deliver this weak message.
Not rebelin', just yellin', what's the point when it's sellin'?
I'm not a felon, just another attention seekin' freak.
I've sold out, and you can hear it every time that I speak.
I make big assertions, but they're just little abortions.
But I'll just keep fuckin' truckin' till the day that I die.
I've been wasting all my time,
But, to me, it's worth the hassle.
I live and hope to die,
A 21st century asshole.
I will get up in your face, wanna invade all your space.
Leave you lookin' and hopin' there's a way out of this place.
Ran out of things to say about 10 years ago,
But how could I miss this chance to make you feel like a ho?
Yes, I've lost my mind and I'm about out of time
So I'll just have to borrow yours, I didn't think that you'd mind.
I never say I'm sorry, because I don't believe in wrong.
I'll sing my song and everyone will believe in this lie.
I'm like a sinister minister, when I administer
The punishment that you rightly deserve.
This contribution of retribution
is the solution that I deftly shall serve.

Me and My Ugly Face
04:24
|
|||
|
Don't fall to pieces when you find out Jesus doesn't know your name.
Even if you're born free from sin you're gonna get all of the blame. Oh fuck. Oh no.
What you hold tight in your arms will fade and fall away.
Even when the writings on the wall, you know it's never going to stay.
One thing is for sure in this world of fuckin' shit.
Me and my ugly face are never gonna quit. No No.
I got an ugly face, it's on an ugly head - I don't care.
I don't care at all. Cause the perfect faces I know melt under the sun. Oh ye-ah
The brain damage has only retained a few things that I've learned.
The brave are few, and love is weak, and hatred is the cure for everything.
But with my ugly face I can conquer the whole wide earth.
They run away when they see, no fight, nothing of worth.
I can achieve simultaneously nothing and everything.
Me and my ugly face; the loser and the king. Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Nothing will ever be the same - put this world to shame
with my ugly face - me and my ugly face.

Today is the Last Day
04:25
|
|||
|
I will do the same things every time
For the love of drugs and money.
I don't want to ever have to leave
This land of milk and honey.
Slowly I begin to feel the strain
The effects of rust and weather.
And I can feel the brand new pain
I know I can't hold it together.
There's not enough of life to go around.
It picks you up and it drops you down.
It makes you smile then it makes you cry.
It's fucked up how life makes you wanna die.
I hope tomorrow will be
Slower than yesterday
Then we might not have to live
Like today was the last day.
I know I've said it before
But it bears repeating.
This world can leave you a mess
It gives you a beating.
You can smoke like a lit cigarette
You'll smolder in the ashtray.
That's why I'm living my life
Like today was my last day.
I hope tomorrow will be
Slower than yesterday
Then we might not have to live
Like today was the last day.
Tomorrows come and its gone
Just like yesterday.
Before we know it will be
The end of the last day.
