Undone by the will we call her majesty
Ruled into the ground I'm spent entirely
How many times have we been blindly told to give it all?
Our fear is in our master
Our strength to fight is breaking apart at the seams
Refusal gets us nothing but a chance to bleed
A stone wall rises where our spirits fall
Heads on the gate destroys hope for us all
(Off with their heads)
We are just pawns
(Better off dead)
In the game of royalty
(They shat in our bread)
Just slaves
(Torn up and spat out)
Living for anothers purpose
Bow down or be slain with no remorse
No mercy in her smile as you fall to the floor
As she says, you will always be bound by the crown
The seeds we work to sow will never grow
Too tired to fight back and too weak
This is our call to arms
Come now my brothers
Gather round the meeting tree
Theres a meeting
At the tree
Come listen.
The hooded robin puts you in his pocket.
Where it's dark and full of lint
He lets you play
He lets you play the game
And it won't be long before you win.
In a cold glass box you sit and pull the lever.
The coins drop on the ceiling, the sight makes you a believer
Just a few more to drop through and you'll unlock the door
But the robin's giant hand swoops in and clears it all
its just a small set back, you know you're gonna win
Sit down and close your eyes, insert your coins and begin
You're just a jester in the court of the queen
Ruled into the ground I'm spent entirely
Been undone by the one

Shady Strip/Powertrip

We go
Like sand and snow
To blind
And confine
Why must it be this way?
Always unsatisfied
With what we already have
The power to decide to stop
Plowing forth to fell, the gods of lumber
Smog machines behind, here to plunder
Men in tin cans
Tearing through like they own the lands
Iron will to cover us
With sand and snow
They cover us
To build their home
Monsters as men
Perform the shady strip
Does it get you off?
The land lays bare
Been drilled real hard
The virgin fair
Violently scared
It wasn't all that long ago
The world was still in fragments
Although the pieces did not know
Becoming one let tyrants roam
It's happenning
Whips held as pens
In a place where anything can happen
Those above just push us down
Not enough for those who have everything
When's it time to turn it around?
For the weak struggle like Atlas
To keep it all from crashing down
The rich run the world we just live here
Don't forget without us you're fucked
Hope is not enough
When the rich men take it all
Action can be tough
All for one or all will fall
It wasn't all that long ago the world was different
But now the pieces know
They know, they know
Plowing forth to fell, the gods of lumber
Smog machines behind, here to plunder
Jackhammer to pry at earth's secrets
And profits shall rise
Bleed until demise

I'm Not Him

I'm not him
That glass of water motherfucker
With his shitty, boring life
Burn his home
Deadbeat fraud
Louse of the worst kind
I've got no pity
Your function's what?
I just love when I get to see your underpants
You can be guaranteed
That all of those who like you are just useless cunts
Pay to have your mother cut up for what she created
I'm not getting near that foulness
Drop the act
Drop dead
Fuck you
Die

Outsider

These halls alone
I've only known
Never seen light
The trees grow too tight
And tall
A tower above it all
I'll climb
Raging through me
A cold fire churns
Infinite horrors, a decaying tomb
Madness grows in emptiness
It's bleak below you know?
Am I destined for solitude until the end
A far bigger world but will I ever know
Ruminations of solitude until the end
Trepidation is no fool
Pull from above
Blank pages to be filled
Now strikes the hour
When my future is revealed
Precarious climber
The foot holds crumble beneath my feet
Push upon the marble door, what awaits me?
I breach the surface
Like a new born child, a brand new life
The slab drops down with a boom
For the first time I see the moon
The moon is full, as I am with anxiety
A warm cheer fills the night and I move towards gay revelry
Standing here, looking at distorted faces
Run for the doors
Horrible screams from nearly every throat
Where is this beast so terrifying
To chill blood and warp minds
and then I caught a glimpse
And just like Howie P told it, as if in a trance
I stepped forward - stumbled in fact!
And my out streched finger met polished glass...
OH NO!
I have seen light
No cure for my plight
Eternal I howl
Along the winds trail
No more a home, with demons I roam
Raging through me, forever the outsider

Meat Eater

Bkwarrrrrrrrr!
That's the sound of a chicken being slaughtered
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Pig squeals in it's life of torture
Baaaaaaaaa!
Lamb turned to chops ripped from its mother
That's the sound of the plants
Growing from the ground
If you want to hear brutality
Let me tell you the story of the meat eater
Oh!
This alpha beast eats
All it pleases
Woe
Innoncent life forms
Seen with no regard
But that's the appeal
They die for a meal
Sweet devourment enshrined
Savour death a bite at a time
Hunger, the void of corpse absorption
Yearning for flesh
Force fed choking on the pipe
Bones collapse, the livers ripe
Dragged aboard with conscience clean
Slice it off and hear them scream
Butchered in the name of taste
Anything to appease the meat eater
Chained up tight, no room to move
Withering in darkened rooms
Slow decay, losing light
Products of the fisting frenzy
The feeding never ends
Grinning through the blood
The cries unheard
Will the bleeding ever stem?
When you're bred as just a meal
And your fate's already sealed
How does it feel to be next in line?
Death in the jaws
The hunt's already won
Nowhere to hide, no place to go
The mighty brute will get ya!
Throughout the ages this barons roamed
Ever growing in power
No spear chuckers, bars fucker
Smother another over never having say
They can't refuse so eat them
What a shame they're not higher in chain
Gluttony killed compassion
No mercy for the weak
Rotting away in the pit
Ending up as steaming shit
That's all you are
A fucking means to satisfy his lust
Pain
We know
It's clear
They show
Utter fear
Madness led by the ego
Pain
We share
Yet still
Don't care
Love to kill
For taste
Dominant we reign
That's the sound of torture
Meat eater
