1. Vision Conquest
Witness torment in its purest form
Impossible definition of infinite pain
Look into my eyes
What do you think you see?
What you see is not me
But a dormant stage of what I'm expected to be
Realities lifeline cuts through me
Forever destined to a life of misery
Realities lifeline cuts through me
It manifests my vision conquest
Mourn not the dead
The living suffer
Enter me
Withess torment
2. If the Truth Be Known
Your self-determined place of value
Think before you act!
Can you justifiably criticise
A situations development
Sometimes there's only a single path
Which we have to walk
You realise before you even speak
That we're standing in a one-way street
Why should we retreat? - To satisfy your gain?
Think hard - tell me
What's your actual thoughts?
Could you even give your brain the time of day?
I'm not defending things I've said or done
But let he without sin
Cast the first begrudging stone
If the truth be known
you desire to judge unchallenged
and revel in the according attention
3. Inner Incineration
Malformed spirit
An infestation
Supressing ways of communication
Depression lingers
Then the journey
At wits end in a socialised hell
Confusion in recognition
Pessimistic thoughts invade
Shared amounts to archieve a goal
Roles reversed could summon change
[Verse x 2]
Expectations are enquired
Exceptions should be required
4. Malicious Intent
Previous times you stuck by me
Relations fine undeniably
Mutual trust and honesty
The essential recipe
There's two sides to a coin
Opinions numbered many
Yet resolve came with ease
Compromised and regret - free
Then the vhange of expression
A unit of friends and the chance to be free
Your thoughts on these cast a jealous light
A concensus of hate to accompany
A vindictive acid taste
Flows from your chalice
Valued friendships tainted
Martyr of malice
Then the final straw
Violent intimidation
Your self acclaimed pacification
Brushed aside for self-gratification
Blatant ignorance - martyr of malice
5. Unfit Earth
Looking from outside inwards
A view to dumbfound the most outspoken minds
Silent screams from an unfit Earth
Battered and bruised with nowhere to hide
Disasters man made and natural
Gradually pushing to absolute imbalance
On the scales of survival
Soon to tip in favour of extinction
An unrelenting dioxin cloud
Propelled to dispel our oxygen
Slowly seizing up our lungs
And choking the ground we depend upon
Silent screams from an unfit Earth
Battered and bruised with nowhere to hide
Transforming aquatic inhabitance
Overcome by cocktails of sludge and chemicals
Interfering with life on which so many rely
Then dumping our shit to economise
Wanton destruction
Environment in regression
All reverse into decline
Kiss this unfit goodbye
Silent screams from an unfit Earth
A future of provocation with nowhere to go
[Backing vocals by John Tardy (Obituary) & Glenn Benton (Deicide)]
6. Circle of Hypocrisy
Talk of unity - a far cry from the slander and rivalry
Why should we encourage what in fact is a circle of hypocrisy
Impulsive jealosy
Where;s the so-called harmony?
Internally untrusting
Externally inspiring
Assume your place above the rest
The wisest of the less
The knowledge you'll never possess
Compensated for with single-mindedness
Bored with life you turn to test
Battleground for pettiness
Pick at flies to justify
Temper's raised - You wonder why?
Why??
Supposedly Accessible
Come support our scene
Just another target
Harassed to the extreme
7. The Chains That Bind Us
Forced exposure to create what is expected
(To face) neglection is the price no-one wants to pay
Line in line, stereotypes perpetrated
Similarity of negativity
The chains that bind us grow stronger
Break away from the pack of mindless dogs
Taste the scent, realise ambition
Life - a stagnant lair in which to lie
Taste the scent, realise ambition
A label to some, habits preset
Faction alienation, bias hold the key
8. Mindsnare
Reasoning poison in the vein
Chasing the dragon who's frying your brain
The shit that once gave you the high
Now controls your escape from proverbial cloud nine
Sad dependancy - Brainfried society
Mindsnare
All essence of being in turmoil
Your white powder god brings life to the boil
Forget all you family and friends
Heroin becomes guardian till the end
Jack-up
Its powers of deception
Seems to null all daily strain
But just another fix
Grip on reality fades out day by day
9. Extremity Retained
You come to us and criticise
Without prior inspection
Judge us as a waste of time
An incorrect perception
Just a noise - your shallow view
An opinion I find misconstrued
There's probably more thought in what we do
Than a large part of what appeals to you
Why should we? - Why the need to justify?
Only in others' presence are you motivated to jeer and jibe
Everybody has the right to opinionise
But to us your pettiness is used to occupy your tiny minds
Extremity retained- never fall into your line
10. Suffer the Children
Your unflappable conceptions
Moralistic views
Never open to criticism
Your overpowering ruse
Promises of sanctuary
In eternal bliss
With starry eyes and cash in hand
Pledge all to the master plan
Just face the truth or fund the farce
At one with your god
your sole intent
Your treasured place assured
For a substantial rent
Global lunacy
Death threats for supposed blasphemy
No room for free thought
All non believers pushed to the floor
Aggressive tyrants
Supposed saints for the cause
Judgement through force
Faith a fuel for pointless wars
When all is done
Who shall benefit? Who is the one?
Not those who pass on
But those dictators divine waving their deceitful wands
