1. Horrorscope
Borrow my eyes, see what I see
Time is a vampire, we wither away
Everything precious slowly decays
The sun that shines burns out someday
Evil will feed upon it self
But no one will ever live to tell
All that is and will ever be
Is broken dreams and agony
As this world comes to its end
Inevitably a fate we can’t change
We realize we are all sick,
Ridiculously fragile and weak
Only pure luck has kept us alive
It will run out, then we must die
From nothing we’ve grown, in nothing we trust
What’s built from ashes shall turn to dust
2. God We Have Slain
Lifespan depends on finance and status
Implants to rule us, robot or foetus?
Microchips buried deep in the flesh
Corroding minds lay us to rest
Erasing disorder, the chaos we rule
God we have slain, genetics our tool
Clones all alike, numbers for names
Programmed opinions dwell in our brains
Power is knowledge is implants for some
Yet unborn kings of the days to come
Never shall have an independent thought
Genes are replaced as perfection is bought
3. Cows Ablaze
As the night falls
he roams the land
In his search for lives to end
with matches in his hand
He wets the cattle with gasoline
If he can then why not be obscene?
The stench of burned flesh in the air
Seven hundred cows in despair
Chorus:
These days – cows ablaze
These days – cows ablaze
These days – cows ablaze
These days – cows ablaze
His violent behaviour
drives the farmers insane
But if they try to stop him
They will die in his flames
Nothing goes against him
but a rainy day
He can hear a voice say
You must obey
Chorus
As the morning comes
he heads back home
To refill with gasoline
and off he goes
So as the night falls
he roams the land
In his search for lives to end
With matches in his hand
Chorus
4. Spontaneous Human Combustion
Unknown cause of death
Utopia, impossible science
Of an unknown disease
Backdraft grows inside me
I can't resist, I've got no choice
There will be no help
No one hears my voice
Spontaneous Human
Human Combustion
Fire is taking lives
Total control - reasons unknown
Power of heat - is this deceat
We can't defeat it
People are living aims
People die in flames
Twilight means death
Spontaneous Human
Human Combustion
5. Distrust
On the first day he created hate
Distrust, untruthful words he said
Reconstruction laments you will hear
I will scream it in your ear
Those who live here when we are dead
Will curse our names - they've entered hell
When you freedom dies - cause: Security -
Then death will be the only way out
The uncertainty; do we deserve this fate?
Into the void we'll tumble dead
The destruction we're struck with fear
Can't you see the end is near?
Burning bridges, now there's no way back
Hear the death wails as the sky turns black
Our greed and exploitation
Left us a civilization of hate
Filled with terror we now beg and pray
"Please God, make this evil go away..."
Our screams die as we realize
No one is listening to our cries
All alone now, nowhere to run or hide
Stripped of all hope - stripped of all pride
As the universe comes crashing down
In waves of glowing ashes we'll drown
