Of vile dominion is this barren waste
Contaminated with the pursuit of utmost greed
Where the need of the people is afterthought
And czars dance on famine filled graves
Deliver us from the madness endured
Our vanquish by his majesty's unholy endeavor
The cycle of horror begins anew
The cycle of horror defies virtue
Humanity
effete of all vigor
in silence they weep
This desire I cry for
Is my destiny longing for me to beg for your mercy
Abysmal deliverance
Is it worth being a peasant near death
At the foot of a coward's treacherous path
Sanctimonious son
A mirror image of his god in his own two eyes
Following this facade
Impel the notion of an imperialist regime
As indoctrinated followers starve unredeemed
Bow to this gluttonous madness
Defy your own morality
Condemn your world
This almighty maelstrom to this tyrants deed
Madness, depravity
Disavow the word of your god and serve the king

Like sheep to the slaughter,
we follow and falter.
We are born into slavery
Under the frail guise of
fighting for freedom that's already been won
Coerced by the false, and ingrained with sweet nothings
To lead us astray from the pack which we came
Communities of commodities,
Nothing but pawns in this grandiose cycle of war and famine
ID'd and marked for disposable purpose
Another flame to cast
Another prawn to feed the abyss
Fighting another man's war
Fighting for the sake of fear, and greed,
and "hope for a better day";
we feed their lunacy.
When there's nothing human left inside of us
do we open the gates and give away to the unruly dark and despair?
Breeding atrophy
Bearing destruction, nuclear collapse
We burden the weak instilling our religious theocracy.
No quarter, no love,
We're raped of all morals
They take, and take, and take all they can take
We're forced to exist like feral animals
The system has failed us
The system is fucked
Single file we march to death
Numbered in sequence
We are nothing
We are
nothing; to this world
nothing; disposable
nothing but abused, broken and the damned
Single file,
Bred for violence
murder disciples sent to riot
Bringing quietus upon our dissidents,
reality too dissonant; it never sets in
Reality fades
into a distant memory,
an anecdote from another life
Nothing but a hollow sequence
Precedes the wicked lies
bringing forth this disconnect
Catastrophe brings us disarray,
Terror and divide;
Ending all collective progress made
This world is all for one, for one to profit
and none for all, led by word of false prophets
Let them burn
The system has failed us
The system is fucked
Single file we march to death
Numbered in sequence
Like sheep to the slaughter,
We follow and falter.
And we burn and burn and burn on forever
Like sheep to the slaughter,
We follow and we falter.
Burn and burn and burn on forever
Like sheep to the slaughter,
We follow and we falter.

This Heavy Rain
04:07

Heavy hangs the head which wears this crown
Dark and alone lost in the cadence of despair
The downpour of these constant battles
This heavy rain muddies the floors of this castle
But I don't know where to go to find peace
I don't know where to find shelter from myself
Are you satisfied
I'm at war against myself
Are you satisfied
Cast aside this fear and these feelings
Nevermind these grim delusions
Cast aside every last bit of doubt within
And go against the flood
This mortal shell is bound to break
These bones are breaking down
I am nothing but a cynic
Collapsing under this
This mind is breaking down every fiber of my being
Sinking deeper and deeper inside my core
Cast aside this fear and these feelings
Nevermind these grim delusions
Cast aside every last bit of doubt within
And go against the flood
What once was radiant and gold is rusted and old
What once glittered has lost all purpose and hope
Lost it's gleam and glow
Cast aside this fear and these feelings
Nevermind these grim delusions
Cast aside every last bit of doubt within
And go against the flood
Are you satisfied
Are you satisfied
Are you satisfied

Don't Let Go
06:00

Like a dog in the cold of the night,
with nowhere to go, no home in sight
barking incessantly until the sun gives way to light
Like a worm lost in the current
ever flowing, without control
Squirming and pleading for the flood to drain,
there's no end in sight, only room for the pain, grief, sorrow and despair;
The downward spiral that further impairs
the will to live and see beyond
the fog which blinds us
from knowing our place
Will you push on
against the raging wind
Just keep on breathing
The journey's far from over
Will you follow your true north, and carry on burying the bones of your past?
I've been digging and digging for far too long
Don't let go
your understanding of
the world around you
You belong right here
Don't you leave
There's no room for goodbye
Let's come together
Against the world
All alone
In this burial ground
of my last hopes;
my dreams that fear now envelopes
Tightening the rope around my neck
My albatross, the one way ticket to my death
Don't let go
I cannot let go
Cannot let my demons
from long ago
drown me and bury me deep down below
Turmoil and loss is all I've ever known
I've screamed out for help but no one heard me, no one can ever hear me
Turbulence
Disrupts the course of
this arbitrary path of righteousness
To understand the meaning of the world
Is to see that living is
Pain, grief, sorrow and despair
suffering is the only way to heal
Pain, grief, sorrow and despair
Why is the world so ruthless and cold?
Pain, grief, sorrow and despair
Don't let go
your understanding of
the world around you
You belong right here
Don't you leave
There's no room for goodbye
Let's come together
Against the world
And so you know,
There's no saying goodbye
Let's come together
Against the world
