Heathen 04:53
Heathen Waking to a nightmare, see them asleep in time All eyes on you, all eyes are blind Shifted blame, the slate wiped clean Every word a fucking lie Leaving us a future thrown to the sky Tell me what to believe Tell me what to see Tell me now so I can be Devout in the eyes of the savior Without judgement again Pathetic, blind sheep men Bring them their tortured end Greasy palms, empty eyes Serpents tongue sheepskin disguise Leeches on our side Brainwashed children of brainwashed children Your minds are sour ground Indoctrinate, proliferate with rhetoric so profound With pride I stand on my own But I don't stand alone All I know, all I see Held at arms length The power of belief The wolf is at your door Wanting more, wanting more Don't break, you can never break Don't turn your eyes, see it straight Convince you to kill, surrender your will Now shed your blood for what's real

From Eden to Ash Moving to fast to see the sign As locusts swarm and darken the sky Monuments weeping tears of stone In our final hours we are left alone Black heart bastard committing legal crime Profit margin turning green to grime Death now creeps in our veins The winds that howl through radiation trees Look forward and never look back Watch as it falls, we turned Eden to ash We should have known none of this would last The curtain falls on mankind's final act Let the dollar eclipse the sun In twilight we are left to run Destroy creation with a simple mindset Sinking as low as it gets Living through the new dark ages All our lives locked in cages Now let fear grip your spine See what's coming with eyes wide Hear them howling, the dogs of war Always so hungry never knowing what it's for Two steps forward, one step back A blackened future comes to pass Revelation falls from the sky No time left to ask why Shadows moving in the fog What is now will soon be gone We all wear the mark of cain Share the blame and fade away Drown together, down forever In a sea of blood

Blind Nation 05:32
Blind Nation This weight cannot be carried by one man alone With our lives directed by self righteous fools It's always coming back around No higher entitles, no law handed down When the wolves have circled and the herd won't move An example of blood must be made Have it shown for the cowards above Kill your congressman This weight cannot be carried by one man alone With our lives directed by self righteous fools It's always coming back around Disinformation, force fed lies, far past the time to rise Between the lines you'll find their meaning Pull the blade on a blind nation I step back and watch from the outside Anger and shame Cover my eyes The thrall of distraction The media is government extension Open your fucking eyes The empty lull, the painful wait Scent of a changing season It's a battle born from desperate reason Rise and burn everything, the night will glow with flame

Bloodgutter 04:45
Bloodgutter Separate by race, faith and class Keep the fires burning, relive the violence of the past Pit man against his brother, turn one against another The tension grows An infected wound Bone grinds against bone As the eyes all close Bloodgutter Now tell me, what do you see? Tell it to to me, are you free? Once again they were let in And the people turned their heads A mind held in a vice Tightened by hands hidden in plain sight Led to the end by a failed ideology Fighting a war no one can win Ignorance built to last The future screams from the past Empty whispers of revolution Hollow words did not bring change Promise failing to the pressure unyielding You dance like puppets on a string Servants of the cause, elimination of the law They came, they saw, they took it all Not right, not wrong, all judgement gone The cost we only count after we felt the loss Do you know pain? Or would throw it all away? Watch as it grows Eyes wide with fear As we're slowly drained Of everything

We Carry Our Dead One more time I'll cross the line And step into the unknown Spirit by my side, my light, my guide Voices from the divide, the ghosts in my mind So lay me low and let me be The lost, the forgotten in faded white linen Hold back tomorrow Forever the greater of pains The loss without gain In fever we dream In the night we are alright Walking a path none would follow As the serpent watches from shadow The memory that stains our days The misery that never fades Baring the weight of ages in the service of sorrow By degrees we regain Taking back but then it's never the same So move on down the road Weary to the bone One by one the colors fade into a gray insane The fist once clenched now relents The fire fades as I repent As revelation shines bright I'm terrified
6.
By Initiate, By Rite Watch it all from under the hood Dust in the rays through stained window pane Moving through centuries, sideways to the top Carry the arcane and all that you forgot Undone by all of us Whispered in shadow, hunted down in light Spoken so hallowed, by initiate by rite Human ouroboros Infecting with corruption, living to destroy As we were, without form and void Moving slow but gaining fast In a world of cobwebs and ash Power within, invert the will, collector of debt, insurrection and sin Beyond human, sun after sun, a scorched land between the ages What its become cant be undone, death saves none, the sacrifice Barring the weight, beyond the gate, carry the message, apostate Breath deep, hold tight Bleed out into the howling night Lay in wait for the coming dawn And rise now by the light of the morning star

Virus 06:00
Virus Drifting, seething, rising from beatings Could be the end we're always seeing Damned from the start, hatred choking all our hearts Numb to understanding, reason left us far behind Craving isolation, feel yourself going blind See without seeing, think without thinking Waiting for a savior, someone to set you free Speak the word, make me believe Before the hallowed on bended knee Deaf to the common language, rejected before the fact Everything that they've taken you'll never get back It's getting colder here, the walls are closing in Bodies on the t.v. screen, the virus under your skin See without seeing, think without thinking Good enough to teach, good enough to reach for But always just outside Nerves shaking, shocked to the core Fixed stare of death, the marching hordes Bones stabbing out from skin, now the message comes again Living sorrow, evil words Scream with a whisper, live in dread Hunter of the mind Harvester of soul Reaching out from shadow Bring the blood freezing cold Do you see your bright future? Carried on servant wings The new world waiting will eat your dreams
8.
Sundowner 03:55
Sundowner Waking to unrelenting hatred, sickness with every breath Drag along with the herding masses, to the rhythm of the deaf Dead leaves cover your heart and give you strength to bleed Reach for the bootstrap and crawl back to your knees The witching hour, demon delirium, I've got the cold sweat blues Moonlight through open windows, shadows accuse the fool There is no cycle breaking, there is no guiding light Left slumped, twisted and poisoned Tripping with no end in sight There is no reason, don't ask why Haunted retrospection, from visions I cant hide The rising tide Dreaming of cold hands reaching, blindly searching To find your throat and exact their price at last Dead leaves cover your heart and give you strength to bleed Reach for the bootstrap and crawl back to your knees And out beneath the pines mother is crying in her grave The glass is full again and its only you to blame
9.
Hostis Humani Generis Black rot vein burst in bliss A stare lit with revenge Sweating visions, final ride into sonic suicide Everything that matters is here Wasted space Bleed yourself to separate Crawling back to start, the weary children Ask for something or nothing The candle in the skull burns low Worms in the mind, fire in the sky Death on the wind, giants among men Obscured forever Secular devotion leveled the age The mist and the maze Twist your heart for all it's worth Make it hurt, now make it hurt

Full and By 11:37
Full and By Obey the call from shaded places You can absolve what you were The silence is long but can be ended With the yield to desire At the edge of none, in the heart of one Drowning All forgotten, all betrayed by me Without this pain you never see The haunted that waits inside Watching behind my eyes The desert sun, skulls in piles Wander alone, dragged for miles Now follow me, I will set you free What I can give, what lies beneath I'll tell you once, the most you could lose Is everything I can't carry this weight alone It's always coming back around The fire comes, then you see The rise and fall, is it you or me? Face the reflection, occupied destruction In the cold, vivisected soul Hear the thunder, split the sky Carry on now, full and by Endless abandon to the last emotion Regression New resolution to leave it be The future seed I can't carry this weight alone It's always coming back around
