1. Solution
Poverty stricken, people are dying,
Not of starvation, but (of) plagues running free.
Strains of diseases bloom out of nothing and
Take little children in painful release.
Death rate and birth rate pulsing together,
Graveyards are covering dry arid land.
Organs are failing, skin decomposing,
Monotone signal, the end is at hand
[chorus]
Nature's solution to our domination is
Death to us vermin, forcing her hand.
Eight billion people consuming and breeding,
Judgment is coming, God's fighting back.
Researchers spending the government's money,
Working and toiling for global relief.
Virus is spreading, death toll is rising,
No one can save us from our destiny.
Biology's clever: we cannot beat it,
Our cures will be endless, needles and pills.
Natural predators, we have defeated, so
Look in the mirror to see who to kill.
Top of the food chain, the view here is lovely, and
We've got the science to outlive it all.
Then why are we blind to the only real problem?
Genocide beckons, let's heed the call.
Pillage and plunder, rape, hate, and torture.
Wars were the answer for culling our culture.
Our fighting for deities lessened our numbers,
Religion's the answer, our angel of death.
2. Destiny In Flesh
[Chorus]
Effigy, tied to stake for
Fatal claim, doomed to find
Endless waste in rotting minds,
His dreams see eternal cries.
Leaders and victims, festering symmetry,
Contagion of serpentine nature proposed.
Corpulent weakness in apotheosis by
Flesh torn asunder, cadavers disposed.
Waking dead!
All misled!
Cursed by fate!
It’s far too late!
[Bridge]
A forgery interred, desperate need.
Mutilated face of a dying breed.
Fermented sadism behind those grey eyes,
Disembowled legacy, searing your lies.
Sculpted demise, brought by legions undead.
Destiny in flesh, endless bloodshed you dread.
Drums pounding violently, the dance has begun.
We are the eclipse silencing rays of the sun.
Sharpen our daggers, destroy the enemy.
Laughter of the soulless condemns him with glee.
Leaders and victims, festering symmetry,
Contagion of serpentine nature proposed.
Corpulent weakness in apotheosis by
Flesh torn asunder, cadavers disposed.
3. Descent
4. Haloed Thorns
Dogma shines and masses rise,
Candles lit for eternal prize.
Needs of spirit have comfort here,
Book of death, hold it near.
Sacrifice long ago, needless torture, blow by blow,
Punished son, beaten, torn, see him there, dying slow
Nature's gift in angel born, viral plague through haloed thorns.
Breeding death from war and scorn, faith will perish in this storm.
Human nature, human kind,
Can we see or are we blind?
Life is never black or white,
See the grays and gain your sight
Stand up in your churches,
Singing empty hymns,
Passing the collection plate,
Fill it to the brim.
Money funds the massacres,
Graves filled with the dead,
Keep reciting verses while
Priests do things unsaid.
Icons stand for morals,
Don’t stray into sin.
Satan comes to take you,
Can’t you see him grin?
Remember all the people,
Bombs strapped to their chests?
You are not so far from them,
One more crusader blessed.
5. Aspiration
Losing your skill, day by day:
Unending work has made plain
Tired of life, pittance made.
This spark fades away
Chalkboards raised you, bar code painted,
Sharpened wit with scribbled grades.
Grown man ready, view untainted,
Human weakness ends today.
[chorus]
Planning a holocaust, dark mutilation.
Venting your anger to forget the frustration.
Inevitability weakens their lies,
Hammer of justice crushes their cries.
Revenge is your horror, the silence your friend.
Let go of compassion, no more you'll pretend.
After you're finished, they'll cease to exist,
The demons you'll torture, dead of your fists.
Locked away in utter darkness,
Far away from public view.
Howling madly, laughing deeply,
Sharpened nails rip out your eyes.
6. Undeceiver
Black and white exchanged...
Anger a virtue
Lust betrayed
Left alone to wander.
Bear disease,
On wings of a phoenix…
No decisions left
No compromise to plunder.
Retribution awaits.
Design your tomb
Engulf the mind.
Cease the beating of my heart.
Condemn betrayal as thy crime.
No decisions left
No compromise to plunder.
Grim descent, stained in bile.
Consuming passion unto me.
Reconcile this death, immolate me.
Judge my transgression
Destroy this shell
Devour me.
Penchant for lies, forgive me not.
Blind me with myself
Caress this broken shattered form.
Drown it all and come out laughing.
