Ruin
The knowledge that seeking
the favor of another
Means the murder of self.
This is the resolution
The end of all progress
The death of evolution
It bleeds all life away.
Silence speeds the path
to the streams of solace that run so few and narrow.
Brooks that babble the sounds
of torture.
You will one day rise
To flood the banks of the
chosen.
This is the art of ruin.
This is the resolution
The end of all progress
The death of evolution
It bleeds all life away.
I will show you all that
I have mastered
Fear. Pain. Hatred. Power.
This is the art of ruin.
As The Palaces Burn
The fiends have gagged a
generation of pacified fools
Bound by our greed a nation
enslaved as corporate tools.
Arise and raze the legacy
of their lies
To realize that this in
itself is an ascension
Towards the day we revolt.
As the seeds you've cast
away take hold
War will be born.
Rejoice, the age of the
fall has begun
We'll dance as the palaces
burn.
A shot gun blast into the
face of deceit
You'll gain your just reward.
We'll not rest until the
purge is complete
You will reap what you've
sown.
My redemption lies in your
demise.
In such a world as this
does one dare to think for himself?
The paradox of power and
peace will destroy itself
To know the truth and live
in fear of no man.
To realize that this in
itself is an ascension
Toward the day we revolt.
As the seeds you've cast
away take hold
War will be born.
Rejoice, the age of the
fall has begun
We'll dance as the palaces
burn.
My redemption lies in your
demise.
Rejoice, the age of the
fall has begun.
We'll dance as the palaces
burn.
Purified
Can the pestilence within
you be bled out
May I have the honor of
this amputation?
Know that you have made
an enemy
To show you the meaning
of indignity
I live no solely for the
pleasure of your slow decay.
Feel the pain of vengeance
burn you,
Soon you shall know silence.
With trembling hands you'll
beg for mercy.
I'll show you none.
Purified by my hand
In this my world
It is salvation.
Your futile existence draws
to a close
A cloak of lies drops.
The lies drop.
11th Hour
The hour of wreckoning draws
near
Judgment day is here and
gone
Sweetly she draws me into
her arms
A liquid embrace to chase
the day way.
Sedate Numb Deaf and Dumb
Stumbling into solitude.
A clouded judgment day is
fueled.
Take me under your black
wings
Mark my words and remember
me.
So sweetly she shucks away
at my time
So sweetly she draws me
nigh
Closer and closer towards
never ending sleep
Spin the bottle
Kiss only the bottle.
The dark mistress of many,
beholden to none
Slips a ring of needles
around your arm in an engagement
Eternal engagement
Never consummated.
Take me under your black
wings
Mark my words and remember
me.
Destroyer of senses.
So take as needed for the
pain
Another gray morning dawns
across an ashen sky.
My sweet demoness beckons
me
Ever again and again and
again and again.
The dark mistress of many,
beholden to none
My sweet demoness beckons
me
Ever again and again and
again and again and again.
Take me under your black
wings.
Jacked up on the taste of
self-destruction.
For Your Malice
Welcome home to my reality.
So you taste yourself every
time?
This must be your pleasure
This your swan song I'll
sing for you.
I'll cut the words from
your mouth
You'll never speak my name
again.
Locked up and sold the fuck
out
Don't think you won't see
me again.
It'll come back three times
Once in the name of deceit
Twice for your malice
Three times when I take
you away.
This is a homicide daydream
I won't waste my hate on
you.
All that you've claimed
not to be
Has now come to define you.
It'll come back three times
Once in the name of regret
Twice for your envy
Three times when I take
you away.
Turn on my heels
And spit apathy on this
bridge you have burnt.
Feast on my own blood
I'll drain myself to sleep.
I'll rise from death to
knife this beast
These last regrets the ones
I keep.
It'll come back three times
Once in the name of deceit
Twice for your malice
Three times when I take
you away.
Bootscraper
Watch the broken common man
Drown his sorrows at unhappy
hour.
Dirty and sweaty
With just enough to get
by.
Calluses on his hands calluses
on his soul
Hard-boiled son of a bitch
Scraping away on the down
hill grind.
It's a means to an end,
a mean end for most.
Death and domestication
ends in shattered hopes
Can't see the hand at the
other end of the leash.
Turn and bite.
Turn and bite the hand that
bleeds you dry.
Throw yourself a bone, no
one else will.
Compromise leads to self-loathing
Money the excrement of labor.
And you don't get to keep
shit
Except politics and power
trips and a bad breath down your neck.
I know
For I have toiled in the
halls of the mighty
And not received a teardrop
in a bucket.
Motherfuck it.
The world doesn't owe me
a thing
But you do (Motherfucker).
So crooked when you die
they're ganna have to screw your ass into the ground.
As life slowly unravels
With nothing to show but
wasted time and dust
A thousand points of lies
falling on the deafened funeral eardrums of the blind masses.
Rise above, extract your
life.
Will you look within
Then turn around and bite?
Day by day the mask suffocates
your life
Is this any way to live?
No fucking way.
A Devil In God's Country
Down south soldier
Third world soldier
My vengeance will be swift
and terrible
Many will die.
I am the distance between
two points
Forgotten. A Void.
I dig holes brother.
Well, I've got a bone to
pick
And a nerve to pluck
A skin to get under
And a home to wreck.
I've got ends to meet
So I've got a job to do.
Acrimonious and sanctified
Call me what you will.
Stick to your guns
The difference is mine are
loaded.
Taste the sting of your
arrogance
Stuck in this screeching
bitch called life
Drop the coins and send
you to Charon.
I will have my vengeance
In this life or the next.
Well, I've got a sucker
to punch
And a back to stab
A head to kick in
And a throat to toslit.
I've got a job to do
Harsh and unrepentant.
Step back before you're
the next to get served
With some Southern hospitality.
In Defense Of Our Good
Name
Returning to solace
So sweet like honeysuckle
on the tongue
The sound of silence blesses
my ears
Enveloping like the earth
I will one day lie in
Metropolis is bad to wither
the soul
Roaring concrete and steel
washes you in blood.
So let you point and laugh
Provincial ain't so bad.
Take me back down to where
I belong
To rust in rivers.
I do not covet any man's
life
I know my place all to well
One man's paradise is another
man's living hell.
To each their own
Generations ago made this
place my own
The roots are deep and strong
Carry them wherever I go.
Never wanted your approval
Never wanted your acceptance
Never wanted to be anything
but me
Never wanted to be anywhere
but here.
Carry me Southeast bound
home
To speak in defense of our
good name
Lay me to rest with my kin
In the ground of God's country.
Lash out at any who would
smear you with hate
Deify no one, Never crawl
ashamed
The past screams injustice
on Southern night wind
Whips Manacles Chains Musket
balls
A dark history never forgotten
Only misconception remains.
Speak in defense of our
good name
The blood of kin grants
absolution
I'll join them soon enough
in the ground of God's country.
Never wanted your acceptance
Never wanted your approval
Never wanted to be anything
but me
Never wanted to be anywhere
but here.
Blood Junkie
A shallow little jackal of
a man posing as a hawk.
Conniving opportunist
Lease the blade the gun
the bomb in the name of justice.
A violent panacea for what
ails the nation
In advancement for the pig.
You'll not wrest the truth
from my hands
Eyes never closed clarity.
Clamped down in a grip so
tight on ordinary horror.
Peering through a curtain
of blood.
Retribution or vengeance
it matters not which
As long as the pig stays
on top of the ladder of bone his father has built.
Ashes to ashes to the dust
Eaten spiced with ambivalence.
The nation swallows it all
whole
Weakened by their collective
neck in the noose.
Commerce brings war
Jihad has come to both sides.
Eye for an eye fire for
fire
Raining death as the towers
crumble.
This will never end.
Left without a choice
By the fiscal elite
War is set in motion by
higher powers.
A pissing contest for the
unknown.
Left bankrupt we all die
inside.
As a couple jumps hand in
hand to their death.
Wrapped in swaddling lies
and laid in a dumpster
Spoon fed shit doesn't even
turn their stomachs.
Gaping mouths yawn for more
abuse
Someone needs to tip the
nest.
The pig ascends
As I sink deeper
Seething misanthropic
Waiting for my death.
Vigil
Our father thy will be done.
I have denied this life
its worth
I will not be the victim.
Sickness to you my master
Here's to getting worse
Hope it kills you faster.
Show me how it hurts to
rot from the inside out.
This vigil burns
Until the day our fires
overtake you.
Our father we forsake you.
Blessed be his name
Nothing now the same.
Ask me why I hate
Why I've prayed to see the
nation that I loved disintegrate
And gladly give my life
That revolution regenerates.
In honor of the strife of
those who've died
In generations before for
your blood stained glory
I reject you
I deny your
I defy you to continue.
Smite the shepherd and the
sheep will be scattered.
