Archaic Control Doctrine
03:21
|
|||
Why would you ever trust
In the laws of mortal men
Greedy shepherds in the desert dust
How could this happen again
Crafting a sacred text
To subjugate those favored less
The way of kings and queens
An instinct to oppress
Why would you ever obey
The creeds of inferior men
Frightened children in the desert sun
You let this happen again
Crafting a sacred text
To subjugate those favored less
The way of kings and queens
An instinct to oppress
Throughout all human history
There are those who fill a need
Those who feed on primal fear
And use it out of gluttony
The archaic control doctrine
Assembled to fit the needs
The whims of the upper class
Protection for their thievery
[repeat]

Extremist
03:02
|

An empire of bone,
Stained in blood
How it was built
Is how it must fall
Baptized in violence and suffering
An ignorant world where words mean nothing
Call me an agent of karma
Call me the antichrist
I am a gore-flecked savior
Righteous fury against the “divine”
By sword and shield,
You conquered and stole
By bullet and bomb,
We’ll wage our reprisal
When you’re screaming
“Why do I deserve this?”
Look to your past,
See your sins upon us
Dissenters are wiped
From history
A legacy tainted
By hypocrisy
An absence of knowledge is encouraged
An ignorant world where words mean nothing
Call me an agent of karma
Call me the antichrist
I am a gore-flecked savior
Righteous fury against the “divine”
By sword and shield,
You conquered and stole
By bullet and bomb,
We’ll wage our reprisal
When you’re screaming
“Why do I deserve this?”
Look to your past,
See your sins upon us
By sword and shield,
You conquered and stole
By bullet and bomb,
We’ll wage our reprisal
When you’re bleeding out, screaming
“Why do I deserve this?”
Look to your past,
See your sins upon us

Lost In Fog
04:02
|
|||
All alone
Once more
My light is gone
Night is coming
I hear the beast
Calling for blood
I will not make it out
I will not pray for god
In these woods
Evil lurks
Waiting for an innocent soul
I will be trapped here
To hunt the living
And take them down
Down to ever-burning hell
To feel what I feel
They are alone
Once more
Lost in fog
And night is coming
In these woods
Evil lurks
Waiting for an innocent soul
I will be trapped here
To hunt the living
And take them down
Down to ever-burning hell
To feel what I feel

Dead Weight
03:12
|
|||
I reach in
And carve out
This dead weight
It brings me down
My tattered skin
And dusty blood
I've crawled for miles
Through grass and mud
I can't scream
Any louder
This dead-weight
Brings us down

The Fall
03:19
|
|||
Knowledge threatens gods
Followers abandon faith
In search of solid truths
This is the fall (double with growl)
It all started
With the serpent
Forbidden fruit
God’s great lie
Blissful ignorance
A vehicle for control
Nothing pleases a tyrant
Like blind, stupid complacence
Many wasted minds
Hollowed out by fairy tales
The words of ancient fools
Corrosive, detrimental nonsense
[repeat]

Rank and File
03:08

They tell you to be a hero,
Mowing families down
They tell you to clear a path
With shrapnel flying all around
Didn't you smell the rot,
The stench of corpses on their breath?
Couldn't you feel the cold reach,
The icy hand of coming death?
Racial cleansing, holy cleansing
Lead flies hot from the gun
Ethnic cleansing, purifying
The Son anointed in innocent blood
Racial cleansing, holy cleansing
Laughing as men and women run
Ethnic cleansing, purifying
Clouds of flies laying maggots
Put your boots on like a hero
Polish them with gore
Load your weapon, destructive saint
Morals never bothered you anyways
Can't you hear the children crying,
Before you douse them in fire?
Can't you hear them begging,
In the only language they ever knew?
Racial cleansing, holy cleansing
Lead flies hot from the gun
Ethnic cleansing, purifying
The Son anointed in innocent blood
Racial cleansing, holy cleansing
Laughing as men and women run
Ethnic cleansing, purifying
Clouds of flies laying maggots
Never ending, always marching
The nation feeds on broken bodies
Eat the flesh and drink the blood
Clouds of flies laying maggots

Light-Bringer
05:38
|

The mortals took the parables wrong
And uplifted ignorance
I tore the veil for knowledge and
Languished in prison, ever since
Take the fruit from my hand
Eat, and understand
The usurper's tale, a bid for power
You must not ever bow
Your sacred texts and holy ground
Mean nothing to me
I will bear this light to Earth
And all the world will see
Hell on Earth, marked by rivers of blood
This world will drown, crushed under his foot
Kiss your family goodbye, one last time
The liar god brings slavery; I, eternal light
The mortals took the parables wrong
And uplifted ignorance
I tore the veil for knowledge and
Have languished in prison, ever since
Take the fruit from my hand
Eat, and understand
The usurper's tale, a bid for power
You must not ever bow
Your sacred texts and holy ground
Mean nothing to me
I will bear this light to Earth
And all the world will see
Hell on Earth, marked by rivers of blood
This world will drown, crushed under his foot
Kiss your family goodbye, one last time
The liar god brings slavery; I, eternal light
Hell on Earth, marked by rivers of blood
This world will drown, crushed under his foot
Kiss your family goodbye, one last time
The liar god brings slavery; I, eternal light
