Different Day (Explicit)
03:23
|
|||
|
You’re always breaking your back
For just the left over scrap
Wait for the crumbs to be thrown
The struggle is all you’ve known
Everyday you’re breaking the rocks
Your hands are bloody from punching the clock
Work your fingers to the bone
You’ll never reap what you have sown
It’s hanging over your head
Just out of reach they’ll never let you get ahead
The uphill climb will never end
Push the burden incessantly until you’re dead
Wake up realize it’s wasted all away
It’s the same monotonous shit, different day
Just a self-inflicted tragedy
Save the bullshit for a eulogy
Why did you think you even had a choice?
Insignificant you have no voice
You’re always breaking your back
For just the left over scrap
Always bending over for the man
When will you take a stand?
It’s hanging over your head
Just out of reach they’ll never let you get ahead
The uphill climb will never end
Push the burden incessantly until you’re dead
Wake up realize that you’ve thrown it all away
It’s the same monotonous shit, different day

Black Coffin
04:34
|
|||
|
I’m hearing rumors that I can’t believe
What other tricks are hiding up your sleeve
I’ll tell you now that I really don’t care
Your time is up and you better beware
You stole it right out from under my nose
You tried to sell it back before you were exposed
You’re not as clever as you like to think
Walking disaster that always on the brink
You barely got a foot out of the cradle
You lost your footing ‘cause the ground’s unstable
Fall in your grave and tuck yourself in
And pound the last nail in your black coffin
Your sanctuary is just out of reach
You keep on trying but it leaves you in disbelief
A bitter pill that’s hard to swallow
It’s your curtain call there’s no act to follow

Disowned
04:51
|
|||
|
Follow the trail of shit
Straight into the cesspool
Swimming blind in their filth
Human waste is what they consume
Draining the mire
Leaves them naked and exposed
Unearthing the bodies
That lie decomposed
Without hesitation
They will turn on their own
Left for the vultures
To strip the bone
Tied to the stake the mob conspires
The hypocrites throw the torch to lite the fire
They’ll watch you burn sitting on your thrown
Without a second thought you’re dead to them…disowned
The sacrificial lamb
Might keep the pack at bay
The wolves are always hungry
And won’t stay away

Infamy
03:17
|
|||
|
Have someone do your dirty work
You don’t drag your own dick through the dirt
The hired hands grease the machine
So that you keep your hands clean
A shell game of contradiction
Justified with such conviction
Caught in another conspiracy
The blue print for anarchy
With an air of arrogance
And a constant craving for consequence
Without regard for humanity
And an appetite for infamy
The saboteur seeds the scandal
Lighting both ends of the candle
With insidious intention
Raising the point of contention
With an air of arrogance
And a constant craving for consequence
Without regard for humanity
And an appetite for infamy

How Much Longer
05:04
|
|||
|
Every time I think I have my demons exorcised
You come back to haunt me, leave my soul terrorized
Why can’t you just leave me alone once and for all?
You know I’m not that strong, I come crawling when you call
Must you constantly remind me that it’s all my fault
You keep the wounds open by rubbing in the stinging salt
I’m down on my knees won’t you let this broken man repent
But you find your pleasure in your sadistic torment
How much longer will I have to be your scapegoat?
How much longer will you keep your hands wrapped around my throat?
How much longer will you keep me entangled?
How much longer will you keep my life strangled?
Every time I think I have my demons exorcised
You come back to haunt me, leave my soul terrorized
I can’t escape this agony as long as I live
How much more do you expect this man to give?
How much longer will I have to be your scapegoat?
How much longer will you keep your hands wrapped around my throat?
How much longer will you keep me entangled?
How much longer will you keep my life strangled?

Nemesis
03:09
|
|||
|
The line has been drawn
False pretenses gone
It’s time to confront
And start the witch hunt
Your name is on the list
This time it won’t be missed
A witness to the wrath
Caught in the aftermath
Blind folded and draw
Find yourself with the shortest straw
The system is rigged
To ensure your failure
Guilty by design
The jury is deaf dumb and blind
The outcome is fixed
Shake hands with your nemesis
You’re losing your grasp
On the verge of collapse
Watch colossus fall
To the ground and crawl

Afterthought
04:17
|
|||
|
The voice of reason
Has turned to treason
Suspicions of a false pretense
The alibis
Blatant disguise
Suffer the consequence
The albatross
To bear the cross
The burden is undenied
The crown of thorns
The blood adorns
The scarlet letter on the swine
An after thought
Of what’s forgot
And what is not
Caught in the flow
Dragged below
The undertow
To cast the stone
It has been thrown
The seeds are sown

They Live
03:38
|
|||
|
They pull the strings on everything
And they control the show
The puppets dance in their dead trance
In the masquerade below
Behind the scenes they script the dreams
That keep the masses numb
Hypnotized and mesmerized
Illusion of freedom
chorus
Consume, conform
The day we’re born
Obey like sheep
They live, we sleep
No will, comply
Until we die
Fall in line, severe the spine
From the mold we’re cast
The blown out brains are what remains
Nothing more than trash
Keep our heads down, face to the ground
Don’t question what they sell
We are the slaves that dig our graves
And serve our masters well
Stay asleep
No thought like sheep
Consume, conform
The day we’re born
Obey, comply
They live, we die

Funeral Procession
06:53
|
|||
|
I sit here staring into the midnight’s gloom
I feel as though this house has become my tomb
For hours I’ve been lost in thought
Debating whether I should or should not
All night I’ve been digging into the graveyard of my brain
And as of yet I haven’t located any remains
A part of me just wants to break down and cry
The other part of me can no longer deny
I can smell the stench of rotting emotions
Feelings have decomposed from going through the motions
By forcing the words that have no meaning
Makes me feel like I’m being choked of my breathing
I know that it’s too late ‘cos rigor mortis has set in
You can feel it when you touch me, the stiffening of my skin
See the vultures circling in the sky, overhead
They know something down here is already dead
It seems like forever since I wanted to end it
But for some reason, I managed to defend it
Too afraid to admit the truth I know is there
I just don’t fucking care
I hold a passion for you that has long since deceased
I’m truly sorry my dear I must let you rest in piece
So put the finishing touches upon your coffin
Let the march of the funeral procession begin

Debt
04:02
|
|||
|
He sits all alone, in a candle lit room
It was once his sanctuary now it’s become his tomb
He sold his soul to a devil, he can never get it back
He regretted the moment as the blood dried on the pact
And he knows, it just a matter of time
Before he faces the consequence he can never leave behind
It’s all leading up, to one final day
There is an old debt, he knows he’ll have to repay
He wakes up screaming, another cold blooded sweat
he curses the darkness and wishes he could just forget
But all the wishing in the world, can't change what is done
He closes his eyes knowing the nightmares will come
And he knows that this moment is the time
He has to face the consequence; he tried to leave behind
It’s been leading up to his judgement day
The uncollected debt, the time has come to repay
He sits alone knowing; the end will come as no surprise
He takes a final breath, his life flashes before his eyes
