1. Immortality in Culture
The more you make the more that you need
By your possesions you are defined (defiled in time)
Long before later years you will be
Dead from the emptiness left inside (witness my mind)
There will be...
(chorus)
No retreat, No surrender
At my feet will lay the heart of man
No surveying ruins, no more failures
I will kill them all
Spinning your wheels through the sands of time
Faceless purveyor of ignorance (by grand design)
Moving through mazes so meaningless
Your life a fiction inside your mind (the dream has died)
There will be...
(chorus)
Your youth a fabrication
Most choices not your own
Your life must fit their model - Conformist, conforming
The hidden truth is that you're
Discarded when your old
Your work your worth to mankind
Deformed by lies untold
The unseen strings controlling,
Their hand involved in all
The numbing comfort it brings - Reformist, reforming
They bring you up to their chest
And lure you to their fold
Your mind a spinning play thing
Broken they take you whole
Conform, Reform, Deform
They'll try to break you, Don't let them take you (defiled in time)
Conform, Reform, Deform
They'll try to break you, Don't let them take you (witness my mind)
Conform, Reform, Deform (All of these people are laid to waste)
They'll try to break you, Don't let them take you (by grand design)
Conform, Reform, Deform (All of these people are laid to waste)
They'll try to break you, Don't let them take you (the dream has died)
There will be...
(chorus)
2. No Bargains
You infringed upon my life
Crossed a line knowingly
For your insolence and gall
You shall suffer
One thousand years of pain
Will befall your existence
Disease, despair and woe-
The remainder of agonizing life
Cut off mortal coil
For your acts - suffer
For my anger - release
For this dark time - an end
Reveling in creative carnage
Let me count the ways I can make you die
Intelligence used for killing
Instinct used for prolonged pain
Bizarre acts of dismemberment
Strewing parts around the room
Walls once white stained sanguine
A life once precious...chopped to pieces
Severe thread of life
Punish with a knife
Release anger inside
Heal my tortured mind
No Bargains
No Deals
No Gods
Can save your life
You infringed upon my life
Crossed a line knowingly
For your insolence and gall
You shall suffer
One thousand years of pain
Will befall your existence
Disease, despair and woe-
The remainder of agonizing life
Cut off mortal coil
For your acts - suffer
For my anger - release
For this dark time - an end
No Bargains
No Deals
No Gods
Can save your life
3. Brought to my Knees
You can't defeat my mind
You can't divert my strength
You can't control my thoughts
Or topple my resolve
For I am master
Like waves blasting a shore
Comes blow after blow
Absorbing lethal attacks
Still my fortress holds fast
I am not weakened
CHORUS:
Your attacks come heavy
And I'm brought to my knees
Games like this perpetuate
But they'll never conquer me
Where is your endurance now?
Where is your ego?
The tribulation ends
I'm the last man standing
I am the victor
You can't defeat my mind
You can't divert my strength
You can't control my thoughts
Or topple my resolve
For I am master
CHORUS
4. Godman
God-man
I have unmasked the truth
God-man
No longer shall your lies deceive me
I know your essence is but flesh
For years you've hid in shadows
Through evolution of my mind
Comes light which reveals your humanity
CHORUS:
Religion is a cage
And my mind is the key
Religion is a cage
And I will break free
God-man
Your rules of stone were your shield
God-man
Your shield cannot block the truth
Your word is long since dead
Just like your bastard son
I'll do what the fuck I want
I make my own commandments
God is a man
His laws are dead
God is a man
He reigns no more
God-man
I have unmasked the truth
God-man
No longer shall your lies deceive me
I know your essence is but flesh
for years you've hid in shadows
Through evolution of my mind
Comes light which reveals your humanity
5. In the Name of the Father
Our blood bleeds the same father
Though you may hate this
You can't erase me
You can't pretend to
Not know your bloodline
Ignore your own kind
Show me your loathing - You only hate yourself
Our blood - Raised apart
Our blood - Brought together
My blood - Needs to know
What binds - Us forever
Our blood - Raised apart
Our blood - Begs forgiveness
My blood - Needs to know
What ties? - Why I should give it?
Artificial heart beats be-
neath your chest pumping
Fathers blood through your
Plastic breast - I see
Through your skin into
What's within - A Shell of a Man
So Undeserving Can't Understand
You Only Hate Yourself
Our blood - Raised apart
Our blood - Brought together
My blood - Needs to know
What binds - Us forever
Our blood - Raised apart
Our blood - Begs forgiveness
My blood - Needs to know
What ties? - Why I should give it?
Why let it go?
What fuels me inside
It raises the cross
That cuts through your lies
Why let you go?
What cuts me inside
Is burning the cross
That fuels all your lies
Don't Hate Me, Don't Hate Your Own
Our Father Binds Our Blood Unwhole
Don't Hate Me, Don't Hate Your Own (Our Name, Our Father)
Our Father Binds Our Blood Unwhole
We Are One in the Name of the Father
Blood
Don't Hate Me
Why let it go - What fuels me inside - It raises the cross - That cuts
Why let -- it go -- What cuts -- Inside
Why let you go - What cuts me inside - It's burning the cross - That fuels
Burning -- The Cross -- That fuels -- Your lies
Why let it go - What fuels me inside - It raises the cross - That cuts
Why let -- You go -- What cuts -- Inside
Burning -- The Cross -- That fuels -- Your lies
Why let it go?
What fuels me inside
It raises the cross
That cuts through your lies
Why let you go?
What cuts me inside
Is burning the cross
That fuels all your lies
6. Human Extraction Systems
This fucking world's a pile of shit
I hate to breathe inside of it
The stench of mass complacency
Is just too much for me
Although it's always been like this
I just can't take this hopelessness
We live inside a well told lie
That only I can see
Weakened mental fronts
They're subjugating
Waiting world will see
There's no escaping...The WAR
Most only learn to reproduce
The things they make are of no use
Like rats upon a spinning wheel
They waste their time with games
We've numbed our minds to video loops
Receiving lies as if lies were food
Spawn of the information age
We piss our minds away
Weakened mental fronts
They're subjugating
Waiting world will see
There's no escaping...The WAR
The blind that line our nations streets
Provide the soldiers with fresh meat
Submission takes so many forms
Like following the trends
Don't try to find what's right for you
Let others say what you should do
Once in the church, now in the schools
Human Extraction Systems
Weakened mental fronts
They're subjugating
Waiting world will see
There's no escaping...The WAR
7. Suffering
Prostrated, eyes raised up
Wallowing, begging for mercy
No more dreams to defend
No one left to ease this dying
Decomposing, eyes ripped out
Left alive, reaching for death
Tear me down, bury my dreams
Left to spend death suffering
CHORUS:
Nail me up, impale my dreams
Cursed to live life suffering
I know thy name
But the pain stops my every utter
The ancients keep tempting me
Tearing at my flesh
CHORUS
8. Feast of the Vanquished Flesh
I hunger not but for victory and justice
I shall feast when I am victorious
And the feast shall be of the vanquished flesh
Pain for them
I feel nothing for those that betray me
Let them be filled with sorrow and suffering
Let me administer their defeat
Pain for them
CHORUS:
They tried to take away what I once loved
Then tried to strip me of my life
But revenge will come with deadly force
Their corpses will be made into trophies
Anguished and tortured but I live on
For those that are dismayed I have a gift
I shall eat their souls
Pain for them
CHORUS
CHORUS
9. Predator
My mind a twisted laborynth
Spawns memories of old
Feeling hate and eternal sadness
Perpetual vengeance
The truth is crystal clear
But I can't take it
Lurking in the abyss
The predator awaits to kill again
Demons forever my soul will take
Misery fear and emptiness
My predator hunts me
No one else sees its shape
Slip into the shadows
Can't go anywhere to hide
Just me and my soul inside
It won't fade until I'm dead
Or until she has bled
Demons forever my soul will take
Raped mind
10. To Crawl Into a Pit
I feel this...
Is where my rot belongs
In an earthen pit
Bathing in dirt, I'm at one with the soil
I can't live with the rest of you
So I'll live in a pit
The worms are my brothers
The slugs are my people
They know me I am of them
It is so clear the earth is my home
Dirt to dirt back to earth
Hidden from life above
I sulk underground
Deep in loving mud
Loathing in darkness
The life that walks above
Scorned long ago
In the world above
But here I'm loved
This is my kingdom
Of crust and mud
I'm beckoned
To crawl into a pit
Cast down from light
Into mud into slime into home
Human to shit to womb (the true existence)
Away from joy from hope to nothing
I bathe in mud
Swallowed deeper down
The maggots speak my name the flies rejoice (the true hyms of praise)
I conform not to your futile ways
I conform to sewage and insect
I live in mud
Coward
And you'll never save me
No
I'm beckoned to crawl into a piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
11. ...Baby One More Time
Oh baby baby, Oh baby baby
Oh baby baby, how was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh baby baby, I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby cause I need to know now, oh because
My loneliness is killing me (and I)
I must confess I still believe (still believe)
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign, hit me baby one more time!
Oh baby baby, the reason I breathe is you
Boy you've got me blinded
Oh pretty baby, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
That's not the way I planned it
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby cause I need to know now, oh because
Oh baby baby, how was I supposed to know
Oh pretty baby, I shouldn't have let you go
I must confess that my loneliness
Is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign, hit me baby one more time
I must confess (my loneliness) that my loneliness
(Is killing me) Is killing me now
(I must confess) Don't you (I still believe) know I still believe
That you will be here (I lose my mind)
And give me a sign...
Hit Me Baby One More Time!
