1. Stillborn
Souls are siphoning
Spirit begins to drain -- to drain
Feel the presence of obscurity
Nailed to the saw of reality
Sad repressions
deep impressions
In this womb
remove and consume
Break control and remove this fetus
2. The Suffering
Our children will die and the greed will continue
From the womb into pain and agony
Where pain and agony equal a profit -- a profit
The pain inside my head tries to control my life
What is a soul, a mind, constructed by social bind
What is a soul what is a mind, constructed
3. Numb
Crushing of soul
Rotting of spirit
Degradation of mind
Black sphere battling
Unsustained life giver
The rapped mother spits
Mother spits
4. Anguish
The slaves emerge with sunken face
The progress of mankind stand still
Viewing the landscape
Rotting existence that your government has created
Throughout your life
Skeleton (unclean)
The slaves emerge with sunken face
The progress of mankind stand still
Viewing the landscape of a rotting existence
5. Catatonic
Born under water
Raised to drown
By an anatomy of tears
The water crashes against the neck
Of a reluctant child
Born without an abdomen
Melt the hammer that breaks the hearts...
It will wait under a diaphragm sky
A ruptured diaphragm sky
Die
Die
Die
6. Nebuchadnezzar's Dream
_______?
Have fallen to the earth this day
People go their separate ways
_______?
Majestic tree of life decays
Human did not change its ways
The sun is set from sky to sea
Mankind meets his destiny
Majestic tree of life decays
Sun is set from sky to sea
Mankind meets it’s destiny
Malady
Malady
7. The Wall Of Yawn
Souls of friction close your eyes
Will guide you to the other side
Astrosphere inviting you
Your spirit trapped in solitude
Altered celestial
time cosmic
Wisdom flowing
spirit
Soaring mental
Wisdom soaring and solstice
eclipsed
Altered celestial
time cosmic
Wisdom flowing and spirit
eclipsed
8. Prey
The surgeon removes an open heart
and scrapes it clean give it a heart machine
Why
The surgery failed
their hands remain clean cannibal machine
Pray for the eyes
the eyes of the prey
that are clinched tight in the fist of a butcher
9. Scourge
