The Crowning 04:44
lyrics
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 05:35
lyrics
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 02:05
lyrics
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 04:01
lyrics
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 06:17
lyrics
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
