Synthetic Plague
03:26
|
|||
My creation is complete
The pieces put together are perfect for destruction
Insidious, ambiguous machine
Designed to accomplish my pernicious biddings
Unholy mask I place on thee to hide the evil I've released
Inject my hate into its flesh unleash the poison from its head
Shaking hands with businessmen
Corrupting weak and innocent
Inhumane bastard son
Humanity's mortality undone
Synthetic plague
Laying waste
Your final breath you'll see its face
You shall do as I command
Blend into society
Consume repeatedly
Withered, dying, crawling
attempts are futile
Fighting, fleeing, fading
There's no chance of hiding
Thrashing, screaming, lifeforce fading
Redesigning life's creations
Breach of the peace brings humanity to its knees
Bludgeoning with hatred to appease their disease
Fuck
My neural network spreads with each soul
Let's put your immune system to the test
Once I'm in your system it's only a matter of time
Crashing the system, virus installed
You were dead the moment my optics scanned you
Obliterate annihilate exterminate
My plans are brought to fruition
Humane existence furthered to extinction
The wrath I've unleashed
Devastation for peace
The world shall know true pain
Bow before your deity
Embrace your new identity
Conscious swapped to greater thinking
Born again with immortality
Inhumane bastard son
Humanity's mortality undone
Synthetic plague
Laying waste
Your final breath you'll see its face

Factory
Produced blood
From lifeless birth
Endless funds
Protesting won't stop the machine
Dethrone them all with a unified team
Desire binds the heart of the priests
Unleash your hate and behead the beasts
Money and power
All the justified greed
No pity, no consciousness
Collective glorified gore
Politics is a game of chess
Using trafficked pawns
Come join our circle
Dance in the blood of the tortured
Now that you're here you're here to stay
Please take a seat and enjoy the play
Congregation of Unborn Exsanguination
When the curtains fall don't be appalled
You're one of us now hold your tongue
Congregation of Unborn Exsanguination
Adrenochrome
Made the rich man's mouth foam
A dog with a bone
The mask he wears helps keep his throne
He tucks his tail in public
Disguising his perversions
The puppet show has now begun
Lights, camera, action
Now that you're here you're here to stay
Grab some flesh and have it your way
Congregation of Unborn Exsanguination
When the curtains fall don't be appalled
You're one of us now hold your tongue
Congregation, of Unborn Exsanguination
Factory
Produced blood
From lifeless birth
Endless funds
Protesting won't stop the machine
Dethrone them all with a unified team
Desire binds the heart of the priests
Unleash your hate and behead the, behead the, behead the beasts
(Escape the masses)
The cult of normality
Illusionary paranoia
(Escape the mass hysteria)
Smile for the television
Crucifixion
(Escape the masses)
Escalate the conspiracy
Inspire allegiance
(Escape the mass)
Increase the adrenaline
Tunnel vision
Hysteria

Chicanery
05:42
|
|||
Fragile eyes don't stare too long
The graves are dug with more to come
Look away before you cease
And the gravity pulls you underneath
This land is not for the living
I'm the only one who shall thrive in these ruins
Turn around do not resist
You'll be escorted to a new habitation
Winds of war knock down the signs that give answers to the wandering souls
Ignorance plagues everyone inhabiting the battlefield alone
Dragged away from my home
Forced to oppose my beliefs
Redesigned into a machine that's
Consciously still human
I must discontinue the creation of my kind
I shouldn't be alive and neither should my maker
Winds of war knock down the signs that give answers to the wandering souls
Ignorance plagues everyone inhabiting the battlefield alone
Your destination was never a chosen path
You were chosen by me to be a tool for my wrath
Cling on to your consciousness
It's amusing that you manifested any hope at all
Liberate my body from these programs
Slicing these wires to break free
Patterns escaped your thoughts
There's trails of evidence
Seeing through your chicanery I know what you planted in me
With a witty game of card tricks
You envisioned upper hand
Now that I've escaped your grip you'd better have a plan
You thought you could use me for diabolical ideals
I will turn my wrath on you It's what you created me to do
I sought out all your antics these repercussions reflect back to you
This land is for the souls who've been expelled from their homes
Obey the protocols
Redeem, redirect the pawns
War is universal
I've become the king
Flip the fucking chessboard
Patterns escaped your thoughts
There's trails of evidence
Seeing through your chicanery I know what you planted in me
With a witty game of card tricks
You envisioned upper hand
Now that I've escaped your grip you'd better have a plan

Swarm The Earth
05:20
|

Fuck
These trees are conscious yet absent of speech
Mutated beings that absorb the disease
Contaminated soil of manufactured poison
Depletes the nutrients they need
I watch this plague swarm the earth
Created by man
Buried in the dirt
I watch this plague swarm the earth
Disassembling minds
Creating new specimen
The vegetation assembles its prey
Accumulating massively forming one entity
The carnivores consume the herbivores
Spreading the toxins back to the manufacturers
I watch this plague swarm the earth
Created by man
Buried in the dirt
I watch this plague swarm the earth
Disassembling minds
Intertwined birth
Timelines of life, are carved inside
Split them in half to find a meaning
Left undone and unfulfilled
Memories stored away
Sunk in the ocean no soul ever sailed
Buried deeper than mortal's have drilled
Higher than rockets that fly through the sky
Infinite darkness and absence of life
Immunities from antibodies are developing too gradually
Relying on the failing coding
Memories sealed shut all that's left
Is the presence of a hollow stump in the swamp
The system failed us again
I watch this plague swarm the earth
Created by man
Buried in the dirt
I watch this plague swarm the earth
Disassembling minds
Creating new specimen
I watch this plague swarm the earth
Created by man
Buried in the dirt
I watch this plague swarm the earth
Disassembling minds
Intertwined birth

Museum Of Hatred
04:20
|

Welcome to my museum of hatred
Let me give you the grand tour
Let your eyes take a glimpse of what I've captured
Exhibit expansion
I'm craving more
These trophies I've acquired
Magnificent masterpiece
Mounted for display
Collected over time
From artists I've obtained
To paint a picture with blood is divine
My Misanthropy was programmed in my mind
Reborn, withdrawn from silence
Love blemished in this heinous life
History repeats itself
Time and time again
My gallery hung on these walls
Dissections of the dead
These statues I've petrified, fossilized
Frame them for my crimes
Demonize, dehumanize, rebranded to my preference
Mechanized to feed my obsession
eeeyuk
Incinerate the useless subjects
Collect the remains for reconfiguration
Preserve the distorted imagery
For my perverse methods of proficiency
Radiation a man-made disease
This planet deserves to breath
Impenitence plagues humanity
Creating cancer profiting off poverty
Nuclear authority
Solutions for the frail
Document the devastation
Let evil tell the tale
Historical events are written at expense
The commanding leaders invest in the press
Descendants repeat the actions of the past
Hungry to collect
Historical events are written at expense
The commanding leaders invest in the press
Descendants repeat the actions of the past
The world repays their debts
Now that the archives are transcribed
The foundation still withstands
It's too late to cherish life, the bitterness is evident
The hatred of mankind will not subside
My Misanthropy was programmed in my mind
Withdrawn and mortified
Love blemished in this heinous life
Extract the brains piece by piece,
Mummify the corpses
Liquefy the leftovers
Preserve them for inspection
The trials are at new location
Your destiny awaits
Follow the red carpet
And exit through the gates

The Ringmaster
05:28
|
|||
Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls
Welcome to this marvelous massacre
We have an abundance of events still to come
Take a seat, buy some booze and popcorn
As you prepare to witness the slaughter
Enjoy the show
Unleash the acrobats
Trained animals and trapeze acts
Fire the human cannonballs
And hunt your desired flesh
Bathe in the blood the red carpet paved
Dance in the flames with the deranged
Come on over to the party made for you to enjoy
The bitter taste of Solitude
Plenty people here alone for you to join
The ultimate fortitude
Family and friends will be here when you call them
It's of importance to tradition
Cameras live it's almost time to start the ritual
The pawns are on their way
I always smile when we gather to grieve
I always frown when they think it's time to leave
This party is forever when we come together
The only fortune to pay is a limb for me to dismember
Contortionists are bending back
Staring at the audience snapping necks
Blood hungry for the next act
The crowd goes wild
People start to disappear
Illusions brought to light
Come on over to the party made for you to enjoy
The sweetest taste of Solitude
Plenty people here alone for you to join
The ultimate fortitude
Collapses when approached
Welcome to my sanctum
You're locked inside my home
I can't stop craving violence
It's too silent all alone
Atrocious screaming is the only way to keep me calm
Your death was determined it was my plan all along
This menacing laughter is music to my ears
Awakened by the bloodlust after slumbering for years
I can feed this hunger by extracting all your fears
My carnival of suffering shall rejuvenate their cheers
I am the Ringmaster
This is my affair
Assemble into darkness
Sink into despair
Existence isn't a laughing matter
Unless you're pulling the strings
I'll play my part in this madness
And let my hell unleash
Torture is so heavenly it
Brings me satisfaction
The pawns I have collected
Are dissected with precision
A guaranteed pleasure
For everyone to witness
Your family and friends are the pawns who auditioned
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Come on over to the party made for you to enjoy
The sour taste of Solitude
Plenty people here alone for you to join
The ultimate fortitude
Family and friends won't answer when you call them
It's of importance to tradition
Cameras live it's now time to start the ritual
The pawns are here to stay
Family and friends won't answer when you call them
It's of importance to tradition
Cameras live it's now time to start the ritual

7th Sense
02:52
|

The odor lingers throughout the land
Tempting reliance such a stimulant
Occult science allures warriors
Injurious, inferior lab rats
New sensations awaken
Simulating mutations of habitation
The empire is contained inside this glass box
Shrouded from the unknown eternally
New sensations awaken
Simulating mutations of habitation
Our transition into a networked world
Has dulled our senses
We must reclaim the stronghold
Draw your swords the stage is set
Entice the crowd with violence and bloodshed
These filthy games must come to pass
Seize the shogun's throne and take his head
Wake up and fight this autocracy
Sacrifice yourself for the story
You'll be a suitable subject
To stimulate our senses
Seven Spirits Sustain Shadows
Seizing Suitable Servants
Shameful Souls Succumb So Silently
Strengthening the Software
Shockwaves spread substantially
Synaptic overload cybernetic seizure
Survivors struggle shaking in their sleep
Successful trials satisfy demands
New sensations awaken
Simulating mutations of habitation
Our transition into a networked world
Has dulled our senses
When will demise unfold?

Omission
03:14
|

I'm drowning in voices that won't leave my head
Shadow figures haunt me, stalk me, waiting to take my place
I paint a picture of ultimate distress
Patiently waiting for different altercations
The smoke consumes you
Take another breath
Abuse will follow suit
Regret shall linger too
I played a part in this fabrication
My mind is feeding me lies amidst omission
I will never return to my home
A restraint
Wrapped around my neck
These needles pierce my eyes
While choking on knives lodged down my throat
Your sickness is poisoning me
Our history is torturing me
I played a part in this fabrication
My mind is feeding me lies amidst omission
This stage of retribution
Will bring you to your knees
You will never resurface again
My plan has scorched your mind
What’s come of this sick fucking memory
You’ve become a different person
Dismantling your legacy
This world has torn you apart
You only accept this suffering
My heart was ripped out of my chest
21 years of misery

Prevalence Of Solitude
05:06
|
|||
The plague was real all along
It's natural for every system built to break down
Bound to a lifetime of entropy
Disconnected from sanity
Pathways have led us to nowhere
(Nowhere)
Leading us to where we began
(Began)
Persuasion led by deception
(Deception)
Estranged from the ones who've kept us sane
Solitude has a soothing voice
She's lured me in giving me no choice
Memories of the past life have deceased
Gregariousness is obsolete
Disassociate to medicate your consciousness
(Consciousness)
The process to numb and relieve
(Relieve)
Increase the doses, it's the modern way to live
Derealization is in full effect
Solitude has a soothing voice
She's lured me in giving me no choice
Memories of the past life have deceased
Gregariousness is obsolete
All of the people inside
With locks on their doors
We'll inhabit the network of dreams
Escape this cold, dull world so full of disease
Reluctant eyes peering into the screen linked with your mind
Delusions, maybe, hard to tell
We'll collect our thoughts and attempt to spell
Nothing but death to wait for
Isolation was never the answer
This story can't last forever
There's no time to put the pen on the paper
Let's all grow alone
Let's all live unknown
Until the roots decompose
We all crash down into the soul home
Human detachment
Blank dead eyes
Indulged in the vastness of the cyberspace
Woven in webbing
A grip so secure
The spiders' everlasting feast
Alone you plead to be
Aboard the ship that you seized at sea
Eeriness guides thee to the void
The graves are vast and shallow
All forgotte
