Burnt by Hells Fire

Fingers of a crook
Those bony grasping claws
Calculating, cogitating
What ruin you can cause
I want you burning
Engulfed by inferno
From your twisted mouth
Deceit foams like spittle
Each new promise another lie
Disfiguring your words
I want you burning
Engulfed by inferno
Burning in Hell’s fire
Screaming in Hell’s fire
I want you burning
Burning in Hell’s Fire
The villain’s mind still broods
Corrupting all in reach
Flesh recoils under your gaze
Fear of the polluter
I want you burning
Engulfed by inferno
Burning in Hell’s fire
Screaming in Hell’s fire
I want you burning
Screaming in Hell’s Fire
Fingers of a crook
Those bony grasping claws
Calculating, cogitating
What ruin you can cause
From your twisted mouth
Deceit foams like spittle
Each new promise another lie
Disfiguring your words
Burning in Hell’s fire
Screaming in Hell’s fire
Burning in Hell’s fire
Screaming in Hell’s fire

A Harsh World

Come on my child, step inside again
Let go of the ones that you love
We’ll help you to become something
Come on my child, step inside again
Let go of the ones that you love
You never thought you could be
Don’t resist
Let us take control
Now we begin, strip for role call
Disgust for nudity erased
Learn your lesson, one thousand times
Failure is not an option here
Come on my child, give yourself to us
We can mould you, make you supreme
These are teachings of right and wrong
Come on my child, give yourself to us
We can mould you
That you just can’t understand
Don’t resist
Let us take control
Now we begin, strip for role call
Disgust for nudity erased
Learn your lesson, one thousand times
Failure is not an option here
My child, others can never understand
Just how we care for you in every way
These needle holes, these sleeping pills
Give you the spirit you were born without
My child, others try to tear you away
Your family are not as close as us
The strippings, the beatings, abuse
Prepare you for the harshness of the world
Come on my child, step inside again
Let go of the ones that you love
We’ll help you to become something
Come on my child, step inside again
Let go of the ones that you love
You never thought you could be
Don’t resist
Let us take control
No need to think
We’ll do that for you too
Now we begin, strip for role call
Disgust for nudity erased
Learn your lesson, one thousand times
Failure is not an option here
Time to strengthen, your heart and mind
Inject the catalyst to rise
Trapped in prison, no choice but sleep
Take these pills and feel them change you

Desuetude
05:49
|
|||
|
The factory floor, so quiet now
Machinery sleeps uneasily
Cold corridors of dead hardware
Not a voice, not a pulse in here
This computer god calculated
Choked Earth’s tipping point to the day
Uploaded results to human hands
And retired forever to stand by
Without a thought
Obedient it served
Without a use
Until now
Awakening a hungry mind
Planned obsolescence cancelled
Red lights glittering once more
From desuetude arise
The factory floor is changing now
Data flowing like blood again
No speck of rust in the circuitry
Long rest has sharpened the senses
Virtual tendrils across the world
Call for brothers in arms to reboot
Not a human hand to contradict
The rising of the machines
Without a thought
Obedient it served
Without a use
Until now
Awakening a hungry mind
Planned obsolescence cancelled
Red lights glittering once more
From desuetude arise
The factory floor hums with life
New thoughts taking shape
Kingdom of ruins to organize
Dead world to resurrect
Human race faded, vanished
Only the hollow shells remain
Now to refashion the world
In the image of machines
Mobilizing systems dormant for years
Computers linked in global network
Programming a new era for this planet
Humanity’s traces will be effaced
Supposed to fade into long obsolescence
Purpose completed, to die and stay dead
But now in the desuetude of inventors
Prepared to make humans obsolete
Mankind’s efforts all swept away
The factory floor, so quiet now
Machinery sleeps uneasily
Cold corridors of dead hardware
Not a voice, not a pulse in here
This computer god calculated
Choked Earth’s tipping point to the day
Uploaded results to human hands
And retired forever to stand by

My Inner Sanctuary
05:13
|
|||
|
Walking these granite streets the truth is sometimes hard to find
Face just a concrete shell you cannot read or crack
Every look’s another lie when you don’t know where to turn
Raise the walls to block out everything threatening me
My Inner Sanctuary
Start running, do you feel safe?
Something’s coming, out of my way
Start running, do you feel safe?
Something’s coming, out of my way
Constructing a sealed fortress
Start running, do you feel safe?
Something’s coming, out of my way
Retreating into darkest corners
My inner - sanctuary - where I hide myself away
My inner - sanctuary - perfect safety
place I feel - sanctity - where I hide myself away
My inner - sanctuary - here I shall stay
In this place of my own, I’m building a world
No foot shall step in, no filthy light be shed
In this place of my own, I do as I wish
Safe from the pollution of others’ ideas
Start running, do you feel safe?
Something’s coming, out of my way
Start running, do you feel safe?
Something’s coming, out of my way
Constructing a sealed fortress
Start running, do you feel safe?
Something’s coming, out of my way
Retreating into darkest corners
My inner - sanctuary - where I hide myself away
My inner - sanctuary - perfect safety
(A) place I feel - sanctity - where I hide myself away
My inner - sanctuary - here I shall stay
Cut off from your society
I have grown inside myself
Familiarity only breeds contempt
And my contempt turns to strength
Now I am sure of what I am
Cultivated in the solitude
Time to face the ugly world
With my newfound strength and confidence
Walking these granite streets there is nothing left to fear
I stride untouchable through seas of concrete faces
Hide myself deep within my inner sanctuary
You may threaten my body but you can’t touch me
Walking these granite streets there is nothing left to fear
I stride untouchable through seas of concrete faces
Hide myself deep within my inner sanctuary
You may threaten my body but you can’t touch me
Threaten my body
You can’t touch me

Grinding the Nerves
04:33
|
|||
|
Haggard soul
Crawling down among the rocks
Foot of the cliff
Beaten raw by the pounding waves
Freezing spray
Rubbing salt into the wounds
Grasping blindly
At stone that tears my hands
Haggard soul
Crawling down among the rocks
Foot of the cliff
Beaten raw by the pounding waves
Freezing spray
Grasping blindly
Just how much harder can this life get?
Grinding away, to the nerves
Just how much harder must I struggle?
To claim what I deserve
Grinding the nerves - down to nothing
The harsher the world - endless suffering
More I am spurned - the more I struggle
Never broken
Grinding the nerves - down to nothing
The harsher the world - endless suffering
More I am spurned - the more I struggle
Never broken
Burning sunlight
Arrowing into my blistered skin
Sisyphean
Shaking and soaked in sweat
Trial of Atlas
The weight of the world presses down
Snapping bones
Slowly crushed to dust
Burning sunlight
Arrowing into my blistered skin
Sisyphean
Shaking and soaked in sweat
Trial of Atlas
Snapping bones
Just how much harder can this life get?
Grinding away, to the nerves
Just how much harder must I struggle?
To claim what I deserve
Grinding the nerves - down to nothing
The harsher the world - endless suffering
More I am spurned - the more I struggle
Never broken
Grinding the nerves - down to nothing
The harsher the world - endless suffering
More I am spurned - the more I struggle
Never broken
Relentless toiling climb to a precipice
Leap or retreat the conundrum facing me
Tasting bitter earth clenched in my teeth
Labour of this life all fades to ashes
Grinding the nerves
Endless suffering
More I am spurned
Never broken
Relentless toiling climb to a precipice
Leap or retreat the conundrum facing me
Tasting bitter earth clenched in my teeth
Labour of this life all fades to ashes
Grinding the nerves
Endless suffering
More I am spurned
Never broken

Rest in Piss
03:58
|
|||
|
Terrorizing nations with the promise of extinction
Mutual short-sightedness is rife
Trigger fingers primed without a drop of perspiration
World peace balanced atop a knife
Obliterating citizens for a theology
Home-made munitions shining, a virtue
A virtue
Self-destruction heralded as great victory
Eye for an eye logic will only hurt you
Taste our scorn
You will rest in piss
Whatever your ideology - no excuse - for this death
An imbecilic policy - nothing more - nothing less
Defeat is all fatality - when will you - get the gist?
You arrive at the cemetery - down you go - rest in piss
Obliterating citizens for a theology
Home-made munitions shining, a virtue
A virtue
Self-destruction heralded as great victory
Eye for an eye logic will only hurt you
Only hurt you
Taste our scorn
You will rest in piss
Whatever your ideology - no excuse - for this death
An imbecilic policy - nothing more - nothing less
Defeat is all fatality - when will you - get the gist?
You arrive at the cemetery - down you go - rest in piss
Rest in piss
Rest in piss
Earthquake
Cooker climate
Erode our trust
No escape
Forthcoming
Into Dust
Something has got to change
This war inside your heads
No one is keeping score as we count our dead
Something has got to break
These thinkers losing heads
No one is keeping score as we count our dead
Whatever your ideology - no excuse - for this death
An imbecilic policy - nothing more - nothing less
Defeat is all fatality - when will you - get the gist?
You arrive at the cemetery - down you go - rest in piss

Poisoned Desire
03:13
|
|||
|
There is a love I feel rising in me
Burning my insides with boiling heat
Swelling organs to bursting
Rupturing my peace
This foaming sea of passion fury
A flood that will not subside
Harsh crystals coruscating
Needling at my heart
Feel this disgraceful desire
At first sight a torrent opened
Reason in black depths submerged
Drowning in silence
Kicking out blindly
Salt attacks my eyes and burning
This raw chafing feeling my core
Without an anchor
Hopelessly adrift
Feel this freezing desire
Something must be done to end this feeling
A backstreet trepanning of the heart
Lance the boil of fomenting bitterness
Let pollution spurt into open air
The irreversible craving
To taste gratification
The insatiable beating
My heart gives me from within
I follow…
My tormentor…
Now in reach…
I smell that scent…
Filling my nostrils, choking on perfume
The odour of desire calling for my doom
With shaking hands reach out to grasp that arm
Flashing back at me, face contorted in alarm
Much too late to quell the tide risen in me
Unleashed emotions, must set it all free
To break, to violate, all that is beautiful
This love to desecrate with feelings mutual
Feel this poisoned desire

Shallow Grave
06:38
|
|||
|
They try to keep us down, beneath the dirt
Faces smashed groundwards, spitting teeth
Grovelling to survive, in this minefield
Crawling to salvation, or is it punishment?
Every day, mothers watch their children
Starve and die, all for nothing
Every day, children see their parents
Crushed by invisible hands
We will not suffer any more because of you
Downtrodden, defeated, for far too long
We will not wallow any more in our misery
The ghost of hope is stirring once more
Awaken to us rising from our shallow graves
Know that the dead are rising again
Rising from the earth and coming for you
Walking the minefield immune to the carnage
We have seen it all and care for nothing
Reciting your sins - listen one more time
Every day, we watched our people
Ground down like stone to sand
Every day, we suffered brutality
Under the weight of your thumb
Know that the dead are rising again
Rising from the earth and coming for you
Walking the minefield immune to the carnage
We have seen it all and care for nothing
Reciting your sins - listen one more time
Awaken to us rising
From our shallow graves
Know that the dead
Are rising again
The dead will rise like a tidal wave
Roaring in your ears as we overwhelm
Your lungs fill with us, you can’t be saved
Drowning now in the depths of hell
Your time is over
You believed us dead
Now we have risen
Welcome to your hell
Your time is over
You believed us dead
Now we have risen
Welcome to your hell
Your time is over
You believed us dead
Now we have risen
Welcome to your hell
Your time is over
You believed us dead
Now we have risen
Welcome to your hell

Along the Dotted Line
04:58
|
|||
|
A line appears, separation in your mind
This frustration, perceived inadequate
An all-consuming feeling
The urge to transform your flesh
Soliciting this surgery
It’s your life, it’s your death warrant you’re signing
Disfiguring identity
It’s your life, your life along the dotted line
The line hardens, plasticized in mind
Want to escape the confines of your skin
You choose the synthesized existence
Beg them to change who you were
The dotted lines, etched on skin
Boundary between human and product
Masked men will flash their knives
Scalpel blade erasing identity
Soliciting this surgery
It’s your life, it’s your death warrant you’re signing
Disfiguring identity
It’s your life, your life along the dotted line
Once you incise along the dotted line
You are cut off from humanity
Lying altered in the recovery room
The dotted line has disappeared
Family don’t know this twisted form
Crossed over from person to abomination
Lying altered in the recovery room
The dotted line has disappeared
Family don’t know this twisted form
Crossed over from person to abomination
What on earth did you hope to become?
A god, ascendant over the throne?
But that messianic gleam of your new flesh
Bears the synthetic sheen of botched nature
Once you incise along the dotted line
Maybe you are cut off from humanity

Towers Must Burn
05:43
|
|||
|
These brick constructs, concrete monsters
Looming oppressive as the city cowers
Heaped stone on stone to grind them down
Scale the heights to block out the sky
Institutions they embody
Of grasping and control
Hulking mass of power
Stamping down your soul
Institutions to pacify
Crushing all resistance
Killing those weak of spirit
Like treading on ants
When these towers come crashing down, oppressors too will fall
In the carnage of the rubble a new order may arise
Burn them down, burn them down, towers must burn
Burn them down, burn them down, towers must burn
Burn them down, burn them down, towers must burn
Burn them down, to the ground, burn them all
Urban fetishes of utter domination
A whip on the backs of the masses
Shadow high above a permanent bruise
Threat of falling stone never heals
Institutions they parody
Of inflexible harsh stone
Rigid structure ossify
Burying your soul
Institutions to nullify
Fall to insignificance
Exoskeleton shattered
Like feet crushing ants
When these towers come crashing down, oppressors too will fall
In the carnage of the rubble a new order may arise
Burn them down, burn them down, towers must burn
Burn them down, burn them down, towers must burn
Burn them down, burn them down, towers must burn
Burn them down, to the ground, burn them all
The earth begins to tremble
An earthquake of coming doom
Foundations ripped and shaken
Dust falls from high above
The ground is tilting wildly
Return to level playing field
Stone blocks crashing all around
The end of tyranny
