By Our Hand 03:41
Until there’s nothing left we will consume Leave the world in ashes build our tomb Separate our souls from self we stray Can't believe in anything we say By our hands We shall fall Seeking shelter from the gods When we know The damage done There'll be no place left to run The end won't come from comets Raining from the sky We'll take until there's nothing left And then we'll rot and die Our greed and lust unsated We will fuck until we fry We'll take until there's nothing left And then we'll rot and, we’ll rot and die Fattened hogs for market march as one The more we eat the dumber we become Fill our heads with shit from the TV We overpopulate and breed disease. By our hands We shall fall Seeking shelter from the gods When we know The damage done There'll be no place left to run The end won't come from comets Raining from the sky We'll take until there's nothing left And then we'll rot and die Our greed and lust unsated We will fuck until we fry We'll take until there's nothing left And then we'll rot and die By our hands We shall fall Seeking shelter from the gods When we know The damage done There'll be no place left to run The end won't come from comets Raining from the sky We'll take until there's nothing left And then we'll rot and die Our greed and lust unsated We will fuck until we fry We'll take until there's nothing left And then we'll rot and die

As the wheels hit the dirt I feel the desert rise around me Deployed again into the mouth of war but who am I defending? Bullets tear the air, fallen brothers paint the sand red Life seen in seconds, never years, how many moments until I'm dead? I hope you'll never realize or taste the terror I taste I'm told my soul belongs to God but my body's owned by the state Child of war What am I fighting for? The line is "freedom" yet I've never seen it Only blood The sand, the mud The face of death and the eyes to see it We move in packs like rabid dogs through narrow streets in search of hostiles Innocent and guilty look the same, they hide their knives, beware of their smiles Behind an unlocked door a starving child encased in C4 For her the screaming ends for me the screaming is a dead roar I hope you'll never see that fear inside the eyes of the soon dead I hope you're sleeping safe tonight, your children tucked in their beds Child of war What are they dying for? Is it for God because I've never seen Him Only the wrath, the plagues, the bloodbath The terror, the threats, and the death of the martyrs The martyr, the martyr I saw the head doctor today, I lied and said I feel great No longer fit to live with you, I'll stay right here a symbol of your hate I hope you'll never realize or know the thrill of almost dying I hope you'll shed a tear for me, no longer capable of crying Child of war What am I fighting for? I fight for pleasure, fun, and the rush of addiction No chance For penance I'm unashamed, I want no absolution Child of war What are they dying for? Is it for God because I've never seen Him Only the wrath, the plagues, the bloodbath The terror, the threats, and the death of the martyrs

Last Breath 04:00
We pray before your altar Swear we are the penitent We're true we'll never falter Common bonds of ignorance Believers fit the profile Preachers sate the need for truth with fear Building legends out of wishes In every age the time is near We ride the sea until the end of time Chosen are the sick the deaf the blind Content to trust the message Question not our state of mind We're blissful, loyal, faithful To your faults our eyes are blind Enlightened spreads the gospel From door to door we proselytize No proof, all faith, no matter Chosen children love the lie We ride the sea until the end of time Chosen are the sick, the deaf, the blind Closer now than ever to your death And praying like a priest for your last breath God below the skin Take and make me whole again Free of mortal sin Cleansing water closing in Staring at the waves Begging for a moments peace Sand beneath the foam With no hope for death's release We pray before your altar Swear we are the penitent We're true we'll never falter Common bonds of ignorance Believers fit the profile Assassins sate the need for pain with blood Building ships to sail the river Preparing for the coming flood We ride the sea until the end of time Chosen are the sick, the deaf, the blind Closer now than ever to your death And praying like a priest for your last breath

Man in a homicidal rage Staid inside petrified Psychoses are his chains Envisions death an end to bind Cacophony of misery A symphony in mind He doesn't know why he's compelled Doesn't know the difference between here and hell He isn't playing any games He knows no right from wrong yet he assumes the reins Within his fractured dream He watches himself scream Life on a TV screen, a death to die His gallows never sway He gives his life away His final message made as he hangs high Man in a supine fetal pose Fear itself raining down The conflict comes to blows Embattled loser paints his face Obscuring what he really is His visage in disgrace He doesn't know why he's compelled Doesn't know the difference between here and hell He isn't playing any games He knows no right from wrong yet he assumes the reins Within his fractured dream He watches himself scream Life on a TV screen, a death to die His gallows never sway He gives his life away His final message made as he hangs high Fail to see Knowing not the truths we share from his reality Born to be A hero burning planets down for all eternity He doesn't know why he's compelled Doesn't know the difference between here and hell He isn't playing any games He knows no right from wrong yet he assumes the reins Within his fractured dream He watches himself scream Life on a TV screen, a death to die His gallows never sway He gives his life away His final message made as he hangs high

Cannibalize 04:24
Painting in circles The well’s running dry Clinging to crosses We pray to the sky The planet evolves while we spit in its eye Confusion makes it hungry Contaminate nature And fight in our shit Fouling our rivers With poison and piss We all have a conscience But still we resist I think that makes us crazy Our resources dwindle Humanity grows Consuming, neglecting, and eating our own We cremate the land with the bombs that we throw Annihilate creation Like cancer we spread ‘Til we're in every cell Malignant, mutating, and fashioning hell Killing our host and ourselves just as well Our victory: extinction Now we can see how it’s all meant to be Reject basic truths and we’re sealing our fate In the Earth’s eyes, our end is a brand new beginning Cannibalize All men die Behaving the fool I doubt that you can hear me Cannibalize Consume your lives Dead with the knowledge you have been forsaken Cannibalize Obliterate meaning And ugarcoat pain Assassinate virtue and accuse the sane Let moral decay rot our wisdom away And with it take our children The lives that we leave them A form of abuse We're killing the earth and we're killing the truth Enriching our lives while we misspend their youths One day they'll know their Daddy Now we can see how it’s all meant to be Reject basic truths and we’re sealing our fate In the Earth’s eyes, our end is a brand new beginning Cannibalize All men die Behaving the fool I doubt that you can hear me Cannibalize Consume your lives Dead with the knowledge you have been forsaken Cannibalize
