Death And Faxes

Never more worthy a head to sever
Think you're so, so fucking clever
But fear the drop of a grey feather
Stuck in your own head forever
Service with a motherfucking smile
Sick and pile, over with denial
Rigging your own conviction and trial
All the while
So vile
Fear radiating at any advent of tranquility
Abhor the silence and the glances within that it brings
Arguing symmetry
Tormented over some hypothetical key
Only get off for misery
Hear not and speak not thee
Speak not and be not free
This smells of heresy
Heresy heresy
Meticulously repeating exactly the same motions
Expecting the unexpected break in the paternal aftermath
Hear not and speak not thee
Speak not and be not free
This smells of heresy
Heresy heresy
Endlessly lost in a loop of minuscule victories and self adulation
Least resistance your chosen path
To each his own, and you care not, so get exactly what you want
To each his own, and you care not, so get exactly what you want
To each his own, and you care not, so get exactly what you want
You want, what you want
To each his own, and you care not, so get exactly what you want
It's your choice, but you get off on misery
Get what you want, it's what you wanted, get what you want
Get what you want, it's what you want

Built upon a refinery of molten magma
A place that no sane man would dare to keep
Conspire for those to wipe the floor with their foes
Blood pools like lava down deep
Tools of the trade bringing pain to teams of intergalactic beings
A burning desire to be the one that triumphs on this day
We must shift the balance
Remaining callous
Confrontation
Well underway
We must shift the balance
Remaining valiant
End goal
Reign supreme
I will run with thee
Our planet caught up in this struggle to feed the dream
My desire for death fuels a fire that tests
Cauterize past 1200 degrees
A burning desire to be the one that triumphs on this day
We must shift the balance
Remaining callous
Confrontation
Well underway
We must shift the balance
Remaining valiant
End goal
Reign supreme
Dreaming amongst chaos
All lifeforms set ablaze
Where I lay my head shall be where I hang your grave
A trophy to show that I was the one who triumphed on this day
We must shift the balance
Remaining callous
Confrontation
Well underway
We must shift the balance
Remaining valiant
End goal
Reign supreme
Dreaming amongst chaos
Our futures change
Divided amongst chaos
Changing face
Bear witness
Destruction grows
Testing fate
Dreaming amongst chaos
All lifeforms set ablaze

Break down break down break down
The bleeding walls around us
Take down take down take down
These fabricated skies
No love push comes to shove
This contradiction's sick
With the rise
Of septic tides
Invasive mass of fucking lies
At critical state
Perpetuated hate
Highly unstable, awkward
Suicide bomb of fate
We are all our own
Greatest enemy
Cock blocking our own great destiny
We must build the new
Paradigm
Upon the corrupted path
Left for us in ruin
Left for us in ruin
Steaming, sweat beading, streaming pass the brow
Hungry as a lion, branded bandit, hand it over now
Seeking knowledge and the power to assimilate
Sense of self unpresent in the void, self eliminate
We must build the new
Paradigm
Upon the corrupted path
Left for us in ruin
Left for us in ruin
Ripping apart away from our own
Selfish bags of juice and bones
Illuminate these realms we've come to win
Far beyond the physical we dig
Forever remaining digging down and in
Force the spade cutting a new path within

Blastatorium
04:11

All the galaxy is a stage
And all the species merely players in this game
They have their exits and their entrances
One mans pain, in time, knows many
Knows many layers

At first the infant
Screams with a battering of harmonies
And then the lover
With dreary eyes and pressed to find
That which waits across the stars
What will reside
๐๐ข๐บ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ฆ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐ช๐ถ๐ฎ

Then a soldier
Remaining callous
And then an army
Remaining valiant
Even in the mouth of the beast we reign supreme
And then the justice
Here in the graveyard of this civilizations dream
At last the justice
Lay waste in the Blastatorium
Only one will rise in the Blastatorium
Lay waste in the Blastatorium
Only one will rise from the Blastatorium

Martyrdom
03:48
|

(0:01, Matt - Manhack)
Martyrdom
Drowning now
I wash away
Truly one of a kind
Unbranded flesh, unsevered mind
Forced to suffer fools
I soar alone amongst the endless skies
Freedom is a right yet has a price
And I refuse to pay it
And I refuse to pay it
I will refuse
(0:32 Luke - Awaken The Ancient)
Martyrdom
Shatter now
I break away
From gagging breath, a simple plea
Exonerating, a lie will suffice
And I refuse to say it
And I refuse to say it
I will refuse
Days are growing shorter
My patience wearing thin
For every face thats starring back
Three are looking in
My patience wearing thin
(1:26, James - Void Eater)
Martyrdom
Vanish now
I fade away
Destroy my rights before my eyes
They must cover up
Destroy my rights then compromise
Its never enough
Destroy my rights then normalize
They're just acting out
And I refuse to fake it
(2:16, Anthony - Hollower)
I will refuse
Agreed upon, a common thought
They slowly start to grin
The knife that slit my back has found its way inside your skin
Martyrdom
Forced upon
I push away
Etched in stone
Carved alone
To commemorate my actions on this day
(2:46, Dakota - Obleak, Thresholds)
Commemorate my name
Color leaves your face tonight
Before the paint has time to dry
Unnoticed is the stench of the red soon flowing by
Air escapes your lungs
The silence slowly cries
My legacy will thrive before your blackened eyes
My legacy will thrive before your blackened eyes
(3:36, Matt - Manhack)
Martyrdom
Punish now
Disintegrate
Disciplined
Diligent
Fueled now by results of hate

Whoa what a fucked up place I've woken into
Can't remember why I signed up for this twisted mission
Tainted by the light and the darkness alike
In this thin dimension overgrown, seeds oversewn
Charged to balance chaos and bear witness
To the evolving balding apes altering the landscapes
Frantically changing shape
Attempting to find a place
No purpose for a race
No need to save face
One blood, one kind, one mind, one place, one time
As we write
Whoa what a fucked up place I've woken into
The story of man
In this thin dimension overgrown, seeds oversewn
As we write
Running and running and running and running and running and running and running and Run with the weight
Running and running and running and run with the weight of the world
As we write
As we write the story of man
As we write
As we write

Here I lie
Clinging to this breathe of eternal life
Inherently blind, apparently kind
To those who conformed well before their time
Crucified, for the betterment of mankind
"๐๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฆ๐ด ๐ข ๐ญ๐ช๐ท๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ด๐ข๐ค๐ณ๐ช๐ง๐ช๐ค๐ฆ, ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ญ๐บ, ๐ข๐ค๐ค๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ต๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ณ๐ท๐ช๐ค๐ฆ"
I won't die
For an ignorant, flesh-feeding, heretic's fight
"๐๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ญ๐ฅ, ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ด๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐บ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ธ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ"
I won't die
For the betterment of mankind
From the cradle to the grave
Misery and agony follow in my oppressive wake
Bow to the debt collector, an executioner
"๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฎ๐ข๐บ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ด ๐ข ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ง๐ฆ๐ค๐ต ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ"
For a lack of better words, a murderer
Justified sacrifice to cover up these severed ties
Witnessing the delusion of these dreams as we march, tooth and nail
Witnessing the division of ill-faded hearts, their truth will fail
Resurface again and again
Witnessing the deception as we breach, only freedom we hail
Pull out from under the weight of a life destroyed
Resurface resurface
Again and again
Resurface resurface
Again and again
Resurface resurface
Again and again
Resurface resurface
Again and again

A King Without A Country
04:31
|
|||
|
Awoken on this day by the melody of a hush
This voice soothes as does its softest touch
Justice won't be done in speaking what I want to hear
Rather truth, self-evident, is what I've come to fear
Another day in the life of the bleak
Simplicity is the comfort I seek
Finalize routines, collapse again into debt
Certain standards for achievement must be met
Another day in the life of the bleak
Its the extreme comfort I seek
Collapsing again into debt
Certain standards for achievement must be met
A king without a country
A ship without a sea
A gun without a bullet
A statue I can't flee
All of this falls around me with a lack of gravity
The lights dim low, blacked out from the start
This stage comes into place, piece by lonely part
Distant our goal, yet within our reach
Beauty this rich a near impossible feat
**Knees giving in to the state of pressure
Mounted on my back, the world, with no measure
Belittle, force, and flaunt our ideals
Till they counter with a collection of steals**
Force and flaunt our ideals
Counter with a collection of steals
**A king without a country
A ship without a sea
A gun without a bullet
A statue I can't flee
All of this falls around me with a lack of gravity**
Another life
Another mind
Another hymn without a rhyme
Placed within the pages, between the lines
Faked for countless ages
Find them now
Painting their own hell
Find them laying with the enemy
**Under a dark veil
Find them laying with the enemy
**Painting their own hell
Find them laying with the enemy
**Under a dark veil
**A king without a country
A ship without a sea
A gun without a bullet
A statue I can't flee
All of this falls around me with a lack of gravity**
A king without a country
Forgotten memory
A rose unplanted never grows to spread its seed
Step back
Question these analogies
To find yourself denying what you believe

We work, we sweat, we burn
We learn our lessons
We yearn for truth we've said
I've bled fighting full force
To find the few bits that I have left
Yet so effortlessly you think that you're just swimming in it
Your world is not my world
You hear none of my words
Your world is not my world
You heed none of my words
And I know one dark day
You'll know the weight of my word
But it will be too late
Under the weight
We grind, we bleed, we pay
We try and clear our head of lies we've said
Bull-brained and stuck in a sick mind trap of sorts
Buoyant core
Yet so effortlessly it seems that you're just
Sinking in it
Still looking innocent
While you betray your own kind
Still looking innocent
While murdering your own
How can you live with this
Too dumb to care for your own
Still looking innocent
Your world is not my world
You hear none of my words
Your world is not my world
You heed none of my words
And I know one dark day
You'll know the weight of my word
But it will be too late
Under the weight
Can't see the long term, can't see the short
All the while you're being played for the sport
Truth does not come served with a fork
It takes much practice to digest
But you'll never know
Because you're already the best
Already the best
Belligerent waste of sentience
