1. The Perks of Being In Office
Life-Force of the Thousands Enflamed,
The destruction of the human race enchained,
Caused by the eventual decay
Of the foreign policies that our governments interchanged.
The life of luxury enjoyed by the high,
Opposed by the shit of poverty in the sty
Losing the trust of the people they relied.
(They’re) pulling blinds across our faces to make their people blind.
Enslaved and Deranged
The People Suffer Rage
At the Ones that Caused them Pain
Unleash the Fury
Abused and Chained
The Pitiful shall reign
The Bloodlust and the Fever
Unleash the fury
The Glory and the high life reign
The rich are a plague to the game we play
We go to war at the drop of a hat
Then we end up losing and (we) call the government crap
Lives are lost at the Parliaments will
“Lives don't cost as much as swill,”
In their eyes we are but pigs,
But (we’re) not as bad as the people from the streets.
(They) Sit in their office and decide who to slay
They target the people that are unlikely to sway
Why do we even elect to put them there?
In the place where they can do most damage and wear?
Abusing their power everyday
Mocking the people that let them have their way
Trust is a concept - to them unknown
And we'll only find out long after they've flown.
Why do we not try and oust them from their seats?
Kick them out of power and trample them on the streets
We could do much more than wait
Like awake the new governmental earthquake.
Get up from your seats and put an end to war,
(It’s) more exciting than the sofa where you (go to) snore.
Join us now in this new Eruption
the siege of power marks this revolution!
2. Black Hordes of Fallen Angels
Apocalyptic cries of lust
amidst the thrusts of revelry
disguise the trust of midnight’s eve
with jewels that glitter blissfully
A crescendo of knifes ignite to aid
the people’s faith in tyranny
whence heathens came to breed and pain
lives and loves are lost to our disease
One red rose
in its death throes
explodes like supernovae.
Loves delight
shines its last light
plummets down like a boulder.
Sensations bring temptation
into the lives of many others
through dusk our silence golden
demonic hordes of devilry
Spill forth to sweep the night sky...
Fires burn in the looted towns
that suffered their deathly villainy
o'er the mountain peaks
and through the deepest valley
was no reflection of dawn
to be found on this day
evil dreams and a kiss of death
to take all life away...
3. The Beast
The fire burns through the night
the sword fights beside
with the promised caress
of twin blades on Flesh
And so its does gush forth...
As the shadows slither
across the floor
they catch a fleeting glimpse
of a female slant-
across the doorframe wide
in her resplendent glory
bronzed bathykolpian woman
arise to meet...
The Beast, risen once again
has cast eye on his future
In one swift strike,
he catches
her!
She flails and weeps
but all that shows
are the bruises on
her naked skin
so she succumbs
to his wish of
infinity in
Servitude...
4. Vampire Rising
He awoke from his grave, confused;
While around there was nothing to which he could fuse;
In the dead of the night, owls wings flapping in flight;
He punched his way clear of the coffin:
He had risen again!
As he regained his senses, he looked around,
And as he did he saw an auriferous tomb.
But when he walked inside, he couldn't believe his eyes:
Beings feasting on human necks, which forced him into a terrible retch.
They looked around and threw him a glare, then carried on eating their victims rare,
So he swiftly departed and fell on his knees, frightened, he panicked and crawled for the trees.
Coming from nearby, whimpering he heard.
He walked over the look, the girl then screamed.
She showed him a mirror, but he was not in there,
He licked his teeth when the horror dawned...
A vampire he'd become!
He ran through the night
Leaving visions of fright,
Running blind
But leaving behind
A certainty of celestial doom.
When he reached the old town hall he walked inside,
And then barricaded the doors so that he couldn't get outside.
He walked to the reception and he asked for some help,
But when she looked up at his face, she almost died.
She fell off her chair and collapsed in a heap,
But not before she managed a squeak.
He looked at her there just lying blank,
So he bit her neck and drank...
Blood was on his face, dripping to the floor,
So he ran to the bog, and wiped it on his shirt.
Then he realised what he had done,
So he opened the window and leapt to the floor.
A vampire he'd become!
He ran through the night
Leaving visions of fright,
Running blind
But leaving behind
A certainty of celestial doom.
(Solo: Blade)
A vampire he now was!
He was a creature of the night
Leaving people with bites!
Chasing food
And leading his brood
To victory over humankind!
5. The Agonising Screams Of Torture
In rampant bursts of aural agony
Wretched screams cry out
As the tormentors return from their brief repose
The tortured can do no more than shout
Harsh shrieks are heard
Shrieks that leave behind
A great foreboding
An overshadow of impending death
Yet...
An Unmistakable sense of relief
Is emitted from the prisoners
The screams disappear
The cries are no longer heard
The shrieks cut off midstride
And the tension is gone
But this is not a merciful release
This is a persecution
The prisoners are lead off
Apparently freed
But instead are walking to their deaths
And as the screams once again break out...
God smiles.
