An Abnormal Form

I’m consternated by conflations of the how and why
My heart might beat but nothing lives behind my eyes
I’m living on borrowed days, I’m thinking with thoughts replaced
By an abnormal form of an invasive swarm
And every thought I lead results with blood to bleed
And I will bleed until your appetite is filled
In feral future we will waste away
In simian reversion we decay
I’m living on borrowed days, I’m thinking with thoughts replaced
By an abnormal form of an invasive swarm
Card houses built in eyes of hurricanes
Made up from decks of jokers all the same
In feral future we will waste away
In simian reversion we decay

Morbid History
03:12

In a culture that’s risen to dominance
(Assume righteous inheritance)
On exterminated continents
(What a fucking embarrassment)
Our history is a morbid thing
And its legacy is still resounding
It’s continuing
Glorify our history
Justify their misery
When pioneers of biological war
(World’s largest genocide)
Are heralded as cartographers
(Conveniently sanitized)
Our history is a morbid thing
And as far as I can tell we’re continuing
We’re not questioning
Glorify our history
Justify their misery
What justifies your judgement on an other’s human worth?
A random act of nature decides your place on this earth
No one is chosen to rule by a higher force
No one is chosen to rule by a higher force
No one is chosen to rule by a higher force

For empires carried on the broken backs
Of serfs and servants set in caste
For masters woken in the night
Tied down and doused, their beds ignite
The stench of boiling flesh will wipe the slates a sparkling white
As heads of state burn in the sun
Strung up on crosses, every one
Maliciously we drive the nails, one by one
To flesh and wasted skin
With centuries of spite we drive each fucking nail in
Brick by brick tear down these walls
The prisons and the shopping malls
No churches stand on promised land
Not on our watch, not with our hands or minds
Will we support this paradigm, subvert or face decline
As heads of state burn in the sun
Strung up on crosses, every one
Maliciously we drive the nails, one by one
We’re afraid to upset what we’ve deemed common sense
In reality is a vicious indifference
In unspeakable ways it manifests
Our destiny is resistance
As heads of state burn in the sun
Strung up on crosses, every one
Maliciously we drive the nails, one by one
To flesh and wasted skin
With centuries of spite we drive each fucking nail in

Disease Doctrine

Rip me to pieces and tear me to shreds
I won’t leave this alone ‘till I’m dead
Pull me apart at the seams and release
The anger I hold that is so dear to me
Life is too long to be optimistic
Hung on a cross for all to see
I’ll have your master serving me
Arise unscathed from the debris
Of wars made just by prophecy
Of empty lives – clean, steralised
We vomit bile, heave it dry
The globe is choking with disease
But ancient scriptures justify
We cough
We choke
They steralise the strychnine smoke
The globe is choking with disease
But ancient scriptures justify
We vomit bile, heave it dry
We vomit bile, heave it dry
You’re ruining the planet and your logic is feeble
Your religion’s a crutch and it justifies evil
Strife born from faith
Philosophies misplaced
Greasing up the gears
Of prejudice and fear
Shed the veil of belief
My vision of God disappears
We’re all alone here
Routine become the wretched lies
As viraly we multiply
And choke our host, blacken the sky
In nuclear winter we decide
Even the fittest won’t survive
Turn back, resist, while there’s still time
