500 YEARS
02:35
|
|||
There's gasoline on the floor here,
a trembling hand on your chest.
Another prayer that nobody finds you,
another waste of a breath.
There's thunder coming closer.
No escape from the rain.
Soon it will be winter,
another reason not to stay.
-Chorus-
500 years.
Five hundred years
of hell on earth.
What is gone is gone,
save what is left.
"Broken glass is everywhere now.
Put your shoes on and run,
Take your father's rifle,
now you're his only son.
Set your sights on the rider
on the back of a stolen horse.
Your brother's watching you now
from the hills to the north."
-Chorus-
"See here now noble savage"
Said the man with a gun to his head.
He pulled a book from his saddlebag,
"Salvation" is all he said.
The book was left wide open
in the dirt where the hypocrite stood.
One less man for now.
One less thief for good.
-Chorus-

EMPTY GRAVE
02:52
|
|||
Killer stress chips away
Once was strong now decayed.
Broken teeth in a wooden box,
smile for me now, brother, all is lost.
Everything dies or fades away
Ash to ash, last remains.
Counting down your precious days.
Death means nothing, all a waste.
If you're just waiting to die, you're already in hell.
The end is nothing but an empty grave. See it there. Read your name.
Cut down a tree to build a cross.
But don't eat the fruit, or all is lost.
Fuck your preaching pointless rules.
Death is my own, our days are few.
Death means nothing, empty grave.
See it there, read my name.
Counting down your precious days,
Death means nothing, all a waste.
Chaos is your god, now, suffer not the false prophet to speak.
Chaos is your god, now, an empty grave waits patiently.
Chaos is your god, now, afterlife is a hole in the ground.
Chaos is your god, now, an empty grave waits for me.

CHAINLINK
04:14
|
|||
taste of rust, second chance,
gravel road, bare chest.
screams and, fighting hands,
narrow vision, street lamps.
pushing backwards, shuffling feet.
fearful eyes, no one between.
fucking coward.
swallowing poison words.
string of bulbs, a chainlink fence.
broken jaw, cigarettes.
clean hands, empty now.
wide eyes, bleeding out.
"What are you doing?
When did you become
the type of person
that hurts someone?"
pissed earth, lesson listen.
deaf ears, tunnel vision.
sirens louder, party's over.
one hundred faces, dead sober.

ANIMAL PARTS
02:27
|
|||
Kill the body, tear it apart.
Build it back up with animal parts.
Walking, talking chimpanzees
dressed in suits and trained to speak.
Gorillas attack a weaker creature.
Human being? I don't think so.
We're the same in relative ways,
Primate psychology's here to stay.
-Chorus-
Evolution comes up short.
A failure of adaptation.
Slaves to a broken chromosome.
Abandon the ape.
Destroy me now, rip me apart.
Build me back with animal parts.
Perfect eyes see through the trees.
Walk upright or drag your knees.
Crawled from the sea, that was the start.
All that's human, comes from the heart.
Swing the stone, wrong is right.
Twist the bone, life feeds on life.
-Chorus-
("I will not tolerate a challenge to power, disrespect is a sin and I'm your god." The ape is me, the ape is us, abandon it, or destroy what you love.)
Take your body, cut you apart.
Build you back with animal parts.
Abandon the law, kill to survive.
Remnant of the primate inside.
Take from me, it's eye for an eye.
But when I'm hungry rules don't apply.
Violence: The deadly genetic disease.
You're just another human beast.

THE CROWN
02:42
|
|||
Take back the crown.
Coronate, seat the throne, wear the crown, for your own.
Coronate, let them see, wear the crown, you're the queen.
Take back your crown.
Coronate, take the jewels, run your life, make the rules
Coronate, run the coup, take your crown, execute,
Take it, take the crown.
Lock up your shadow.
Take it, take your crown.
Own it. You were chosen.
