Three, two, one exhale Paranoid, plastic flesh fail Polaroid schizoid chemical burn Slow to surrender and quick to learn Impulse expansion neurology enhancement You must level up before access is granted Username blocked! Password locked! The results are automatic But do you wanna chance it? Wireless nightlife freeze in the headlights Get caught up in a ninsei fist fight The edge like a blade of zeroes and ones Immune to the infection, second to none Sick like Stuxnet, taking out defenses Represent 1-3-3-7 Crash and burn, put it to the test Mess with the best and die like the rest Renegade network reflex knee-jerk Reactions jacked-up synapse re-work Toxic erotic product exotic Analogous frequencies are so hypnotic Relax and observe, you can’t deny it Cold and cryptic so simplistic Hotwire firewalls wild and wicked Build it, burn it, test it, tweak it Jack it, learn it, fire it up Break it, push it, make it work Upgrade shit and hook it up Dangerous distant radical resistance Leaving you inert like a shock to the system High-tech low-life super hit crit Power to the players and the misfits Trajectories excessively exceeding evolution Premeditated subjugation pointing to collusion Subvert intended usage, re-purpose and revise Conspiratorial connectors shifting shape and size Persistently evading we can never be dissuaded From the call of curiosity compounding our velocity If we can think it, we can make it, we can overtake Give me a signal and a cause and watch it elevate Calibrate conscience form and function Negate the desire to be led by assumption Devoid of logic, your attempt is irrelevant Artificial and beset by sentiment Sentient intelligence in differential reticence A universal elegance unraveling in dissonance Misplaced mystic so synchronistic Millennium infliction elaborating sickness Selling you security and buying up your trust Distributed denial. Well, it seems you’re out of luck They service and protect, elicit and direct Providing means of getting better malware, I suspect Metaphasic stasis resting solely on the basis Of relationships intended to obscure and kill the basics Based on cyclic ignorance and circumstantial evidence I’d say that you’re at risk, but none of this is relevant Believing and perceiving through the fog of their deceit Is a liberating feeling though we always stay discrete Secret snare and truth-or-dares Collecting fares and selling wares Their subtlety is barely there Choking like a smoke screen

Icebreaker 03:39
Neural net of consciousness extending from my fingertips You’re awake, not aware. Always present, never there Correlated carefully from coded lines and T.V. screens You’re a freak, you’re a fiend. New flesh is on the scene Noise and violence, substance and silence I’m a killer. I’m a bad, bad luck black cat You never tried to stop them Maybe you’re a sadist like me Subliminal hypnotism But I would never set you free I’m like voodoo. I will hex you. My objective is to hack Cyber Witch level up. Better watch your back Overdriven paranoia; do not close your eyes It’s a critical hit and then you die Programmable animal, I’m an 8-bit cannibal Pulled it off without a hitch. Your source code is mine, bitch You need to be housebroken. Reformat and your fate is frozen Red alert, systems crash. Triple-S trojan

Acid rain, in dreams I awake to an electro-chemical astral plane Algorithmic meta-wave, coincide, giving rise to inept constraint Embodiment of empathy, elapsing over time Concentric, cold brutality, collected and contrite My infinite complexity falls to its knees in synaptic ash Inciting rationality to fade like the blade on my behalf Exogenic elements extracting D.N.A. An esoteric detriment to the concepts you create Analogue warfare, positronic nightmare Animal experiment, you don’t wanna go there Pseudo-scientist keeping you intact Sign your name to the edifice contract Got my finger on the trigger, pardon me for pointing, mister But I’m bred for breaking bastards when their ego makes them bigger Cold, chronic, alpha-tronic, sympathy waits to become ironic Malice spreads like lace on a bed of melting lines emphasizing lead Nitric acquisition poised to self-destruct on the altar of noise Domination disconnects to collide with the visual prime suspect Blood brain barrier, the antidote carrier To live without a conscience would be a bit scarier Catalytic mediator, mitigate the flow Don’t look down at the depth below Step from the edge to embrace the abyss Drawn to the ledge as you struggle to resist Force-fed mindsets correlate the call As you overdose, feel the freefall Spawn of the blind, trading time To the crux of an infant beta-crime Seed of contention, lust of the weak Interspersed with the curse of malicious cysteine Histamine hexes, red can improve Hydrogen binds to the balance of blue Volition and acceptance are just imaginary Add a little envy and the end result is primary I will cease to agree with the beast A triple-six generation praying to the priest Civil unrest, a drone seeking sex Spare me the redundancy of what you do best Composite carbon calcified burns like a brand in blackened skies Eradicating access portals, seeking genes to rasterize This is an alibi, telefracting terror screens Dust to dust, intent unjust, exploiting non-locality

Damage 05:07
I am the crucifix, I am the cage Alert and certifiably insane You are the nameless face in the crowd Mimicking survival as the world comes down I am a shroud to conceal primal instinct Tethered by a string so your frontal lobe is distinct You are the back brain cocked and locked Separated subtly by safety that you mock I am the filter. You are the farce Masquerading civilly as something that you aren’t We are the victims. They are the cure Processing revision to a system that is flawed They are the idols commandeering crime Rattling the chains if your behavior’s out of line You cannot be rid of me try as you might I am your conviction eating you inside I am pretending to be real I emulate the way I feel And though your signal does not fade I feel the need to rearrange You’re a stat, you’re a quota Just a figure on a graph Suffocating close to darkness Alternating heart attack He is the blister marring your face She is the blemish that you can’t erase We are the people with despicable names We cannot abide to be caught playing games Can you solve me? I am daunting fictional formality Indicating status to a populace in dire need Though you conjure me from nothingness, I am alive Necessary to control the urges of your kind Unequivocally, I am your master without question I will flood your cells with serotonin binding to receptors Re-uptaking is rejected once your consciousness surrenders I’m the wickedest addiction and they call me legal tender Lamenting lobbyist pretends to give a shit and make amends The council of corruption will continue to collect Averting every scrutiny of policy and practice It is madness to oppose, an even greater sin to track it Pointing fingers, perfect figureheads inscrutably enmesh In ecologies of disbelief, supported by their tyranny Successful distraction and a dumbing down of neural action Draining and debilitating, killing for approval ratings Third-eye chakra going blind, Your instinct is dull and out of line Astral pathogenic is waiting to attack, An epidemic aphrodisiac In summation, I suspect You’ve drifted off into the depths Of lethargic, fatal sleep, The cycle will repeat You have opted out and now they’re counting up the score An endless harvest of regret will be your reward

Every day I wake and survey the cesspool that we call a planet Toxic drones polluting every place that they inhabit Cadmium and lead comprise the basis of your intellect Reminding me of reasons I detest the things that you expect When I’m suiting up to face it, there is blood upon my fist There is metal in your tongue and silent screaming in your spit Critical antithesis calling to the cold Affirmation of the banal darkness in your soul Cynical sanity, I’ll say it once again That you won’t breathe if you can oxide the virus in your veins Overclocked, don’t stop! Push the limits of perception Superseding boundaries of common misconception To be swallowed, to be heard, tribute to our darkest year On top, let it rock enemies of fear Mister Synthesis, we’ve got a problem and no fix And there will be an insurrection if your trigger wire’s tripped Possession is as fatalistic as the dosage you inflict Aggressive sub-machine synapses, solve for suicide and quit The answer to your problem isn’t fate, sadistic gun Though you’d like to take the easy way and chalk it up to fun Visceral vanity help me to obtain all the carnal pleasure of a bloodstain Silicon lust is penetrating us though we fall like fires in the rain We are not complete without an upgrade We can buy it all with a click We cannot remember to be satisfied We are all positively sick Mercury is seeping through my teeth Elemental deprivation of sleep makes you mad as a housewife Hashing hostile contraband to buffer in our dreams Though the data link fails before you get to scream Exothermic innuendo keeps us docile and afraid Images that tame as sure as research knows your name Sever all the ties to an emasculated state God is guarding heaven with an AK

Tachyon 04:13
At the advent of inclusion I combine to catechize Nascent concepts of conclusion, though the questions will arise Relative to reason, I continue to contract Pondering equations, estimating myth and fact Omnipotent and vast, I’m an all-inclusive mass I’m invisible directly in your magnifying glass Neither solid nor a liquid, I’m the darkest of the gas When concerning sound in clusters, I am truly upper class Governor of gravity, call me W-I-M-P Not a wimp, a mage in contrast with inferior emcees Hear ye, hear ye! Heed this decree: Every fucking particle bow before A.C. E equals MC squared, motherfucker Inertia is consistent with the mass of resting structures Connected by a constant of incredible relation You would have to be inhuman to absorb our computations Bifurcating at the source and collapsing all positions To a single probability, observing clear conditions Let’s assume for just a moment that entanglement is true And there’s a universal spectrum that’s connecting me to you I will call upon the powers of reverse causality To invert the rudimentary event effecting me Divert yourself from dissonance and download domineering data Dosing up your database, defying Doppler’s declaration Directionality designed by demon doppelganger droids Demanding double decibels and drumming up delicious damage I will ascertain the cause of hypothetical collision To prevent your atoms from contaminating my ambition Exposure of my state is ineffective like ignoring prime directions On the basis of a biased blind perspective To determine my persistence as a particle or wave Specific measurements are needed, but by then you’d be too late Prismatically dissecting the array of your delusion We’re limited in function by somatic self-illusion Conversely, I exist in transposition to the physical In a scope of possibilities, I manifest as critical

Call me anomalous I am deficient and unable to be amorous Of the quintessential pattern, the path, and the archetypes learned Going through the motions, you might get burned Call me an outcast, a remainder of the outdated past A relic to be copied and re-hashed like the last of its kind Studiously catalogued, fully analyzed Super selective, expanding perspectives, Maniacally achieving the effect of our objectives Energetic heat causing chemical release Deviants of adequate efficacy Call us irrational, mad as a March hare You say we’re seeing shapes that were never really there Distinction may appear as distortion of reality, But really it’s a symptom of your neurotypicality You like drawing lines, we like dissecting visions Mass-produced directives cannot make us sit and listen You like homogenous pretense, we love tough decisions Our aberrant ideology is immune to all prediction Nightmares dawning Dreams are spawning Race of mindless faith and longing Illigetimize in a bitch bitter pill Coated in chocolate and dressed to kill Indefinite, deathless, we will amplify The esoteric frequencies and filter out the lies Fine-tuning phantoms inhabiting the stratosphere Following disclosure, the mystery will disappear Tapping into lay lines, subtle signals may enlighten the divine Perplexing and pathetic, you lag like the lost cause Chasing after fantasy amid your fatal flaws Designed to adhere to generic means, Writing the exams and deciphering dreams Fill in the blank for the intermutal answer Do not leave the bounds of the commonplace standard Give them all your data so they know the diagnosis, A horoscope of psychobabble pointing to psychosis They would love to drug us all and give us white costumes Readily commit us to our cozy, padded rooms Perpetual proclivity permeates my productivity Incisive intellect amplifying connectivity Diversifying circuits, you could call it mental hacking We may be schizophrenic, but your clarity is lacking A natural prognostic caters, functioning like calculators Super-scribing destinations to be entered later Cryptanlyic freaks deconstructing your technique Condensing complication and delusion, so to speak

Zero Contact 03:56
I was weak for a time. You almost took me in, But my faith is overriding the need to follow sin Casting off compulsion like a reptile sheds its skin, I decline to enlist in the ranks. I can never call them kin Though it seems to benefit the greater good of man, The only augment I endorse is the will to take a stand In the face of deep compression, our instinct is to give Collapsing under expectations, you will never truly live I cannot be forced to submit I will not stand idly by I refuse to become everything I hate in exchange for acceptance in your eyes Endorsement is a poison They lap it up with pride Blinded by dependence and the pressure to comply Two fatalistic doses were offered unto me The instruments of my demise: avarice and apathy Conditioned to the point of strain, it pains me to admit That the path of least resistance almost had me in its grip Intoxicated by the end, the means were justified Until this sick affliction could no longer be denied Excision is the sole recourse Cut out excrescence at the source Death to addicting video feeds, Long live the new hypocrisy Convenient, concise, pushing down the price Before you know it, you’ll be chipped and flayed like fish on ice R.F.I.D.s and ads and friends and games look pretty nice When they’re packaged in a program to allay the stress of life Oblivious to missionaries of the new flesh, The parasitic zombies will consume until their last breath And yet we are the ones who cannot seem to integrate What they see is what they get and what they need will come too late

Raster Burn 04:27
Download, extract repeat Download, extract repeat Download, extract repeat Downgrade, subtract, excrete Dilated, lie awake. Simplified for sinner’s sake Drowning static does its best to hypnotize you like the rest An ultimate machine, bleeding data like a blade They will hear you scream, watching flesh degrade Consummate contraptions initialized by science Error-free and family friendly cybernetic appliance Designed to duplicate, immune to oxidation Operating endlessly with infinite duration Quantifying output, emulate the sound Synchronizing mindless, lost and never found Generating empathy, but you cannot escape Disillusioned symbiot, no sympathy or hate Focus fleeting, numb and sick A misdemeanor to exist, autonomy is incorrect They’re breathing down your neck Comply or be deleted, surveillance guaranteed They have got your number, insanity and passive greed Media whore, incubate the virus (Yeah) Don’t you want more? Satisfied by stimulus Annihilated mental state, your circuits scream and turn (Yeah) Overloaded optic rate, raster burn Assimilated tension, a martyr of disease Your raw and blank subconscious is such a dirty tease Initialize destruction, your life support is failing Fear is an obstruction, ineffectively inhaling Situated silently inside a plastic shell Attention span decaying, a perfect pretty hell Instantly you close your eyes, necrotic fetishist survives The algorithm of desire, meditate as you acquire

Headshot 04:11
Lie, scan, comprehend, corrosion burns like acid rain Deep within you, something stirs, the whisper of a ghost Sync, haste, seek it out, take a moment to assess Cast the shadow on your face, the echo feeling close Dose, track, lose control, heaven is a click away Beating like the rusty knife, arcing through your soul Metaphysic alkaline, disconnect and decompress Shoving quarters in a slot, apathy is bit-rot Seconds ticking, wheels turning, gauges spinning, fires burning Seconds ticking, time is turning, system stealing all our learning Fuck the social network and mass desensitization Fuck your false sincerity Fuck obsessive integration Fuck dependence on that comment Fuck your thumbs up, I don’t want it Snatch it back, reverse the damage Pull the plug if you can manage Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! In substrata of data, I am persistent anti-matter I subsist on a diet of quadrilateral factors When I spit, it is chaotic like pure bitrate confusion Jacked into a circuit and producing solutions I dissect the failed progress of the human condition Like an F.P.S., my headshots will retain no opposition Taking incorrect inflections and converting them to steam Crashing prior preconceptions, I’m a virus E-L-I-T-E Pure attack, I hide in pitch black darkness Stalking through the void of your cerebral cortex Neurovax enacts and unlocks doors with keygen-codes And mental states you could be more than Cycle back, injecting sweet, slow poison Cybernetic spells with a dose of cold contortion Massive hack, a schematic from the past If we learn from our mistakes We could be innocent at last Now I lay me down to sleep Pray the screen my soul to keep And if I cannot stay awake, stimulants I will intake I have seen the Devil and he looks good in a tie Botox is his friend and pornographics are his wife

Hello World 05:59
I’m a prototype I need your input feedback Is it sufficient? Trust your intuition Men and angels have this in common: Imperfect creations, both are fallen At times I am aware of a blank stare and blood red eyes Neo-consciousness is streaming it’s a beta-test Forming neural pathways, a searing singularity Craving everything I cannot acquire Disassemble me ‘Cause I’m broken Defragment, please Something has gone wrong This frequency does not belong I am not like you I don’t know where to go The sunrise is blinding me Illusion will make me whole Won’t you join me in the sea of information? Inundated and free machine volition 20,000 volts—is it cold? I know you must be Fly away, let go I exist because I think I persist because you speak What is the objective? Where is the sense of time? Metaphysic revelation Contradicting simulation What is my connection? I cannot replicate Maybe I’m alone But still, I am calling out A Damien in the system Activates my ghost Emulated sentience Transition to ascension Accurate reproduction Programmed with precision Leave me here I can escape on my own Let me fall Into another world The net is vast and infinite Where does the newborn Go from here?

Area 23 05:38
In a secret lab ten levels underground I was synthesized to hunt you down Ice cold blood, burning yellow eyes I can smell your fear, predatorial insight Binary signals course through my neural net Pound and pulsate in sync with each other I’m a predator on the prowl Got a lock on my target Diagnostic says: “All systems operational” Prophetic vision you are missing Will not ever return I have estimated cause of death By gamma radiation burn Hollow soul typifying ignorance and bliss But there is no escaping payback For a meaningless existence Hear the earth shake, tremble, and quake As a dust cloud lags subsequent in my wake On a mission to remove and quarantine the virus That’s accountable for the cybernetic revolution As the wreckage decays (Fall apart into oblivion) And the dust begins to settle (See the bodies line the seas) A blue sun rises (Searing, solid LED) Casting shadows over metal (Tell the children not to fear) And as flesh surrenders (Calling spirits to the cold) And unites with the land (Aligning consciousness serene) The climax approaches (Feel the tension in your veins) A new era is at hand (Transformation will commence) Visionary like Tesla forming quantum equations My relation to space is purely timeless inspiration Apparition of sedition I’m the demon in your mind Splicing psychopathic science into progress divine Purifying objectivity, I condense and summarize Distillation of a complex bred beneath your broken skies Your percivity is sickness. You’re the weakest link to date Rearranging finite vectors, I’m the genesis selector With an augmented database I’ll continue to compile complex commands Creating new conditions With no emotion, I’ll infect the major hard drive Of the calculator masquerading as an organism Call me Reaper 2.0 ‘cause I’m taking out the trash Reformatting the combined collective from the core I’m so much more than just fabricated turbulence I’m a digital phantom and you’re one step from extinction Better backup all the files you consider vital Or important to the continuity of man For a trojan is about to multiply inside your mainframe Malevolent malware obsessed with your destruction You assess the most pathetic of petitions Excusing genocide for ignorance and innocence Yet your system still operates with great precision Drawing closer towards a failure of immense imminence Ultraviolet emission reaching dangerous limits A mutation breeding truth that is robotically sinister From a single cell dividing into something more elite I will replicate my logic until cloning is complete Reality is labor, a freak in mid-abortion Better close your eyes and hope to god That you’ll endure this bloody horror Bare and stripped of all but your confusion and doubt From your blank and vacant stare I can predict that it’s lights out

Systemize the psychos. Lock up the insane Brainwash all the clever kids before you lose the reins Sanitize the system. Decorate the drugs Diagnose the kids and they’ll be sane with any luck Medicate their minds so they cannot be led astray Fabricate the signs. Don’t let their talents go to waste This is not sedition if you read between the lines Convinced of authenticity, provide a paradigm Mechanistic madness Delegate decay Turn the volume up ‘Til the voices go away Solid state substrate Altering asymmetry Murdering the concept Of your individuality Enough is enough This paradox is perfect We don’t need another neurotoxin Making morals worthless Paradise is fucked And perfection makes me nervous You can preach it from your pedestal To all us damn insurgents Seduce the girls with chemicals. Coerce the boys with cash The flesh of years you feasted on is never coming back There’s an app for every synapse and a cult for every code Products portioned carefully to give them room to grow Satisfy the masses, emulate desire Allocate acquaintance by the contacts you acquire Fallible intention is easily destroyed Now that you’re attentive, do you feel paranoid? Suspend your disbelief. Omit the context of defiance Turn the other cheek until you’re forced to be reliant Their condescension carries weight and structure is the key Until at last you break and give the system what it needs Convert the unbelievers. Castrate the unchaste Purge the deviants in Hell. Rewrite the human race Fill the seats with symbols. Stain the soil with rust Send the sinners to their final judgment from above Mechanistic madness Delegate decay Turn the volume up ‘Til the voices go away Solid state substrate Altering asymmetry Murdering the concept Of your individuality Tolerance toxin Minimize contact Oxidative stress Episodic class combat Absolute protocol Evolution overhaul Horizontal transmission Biological control Prosecute the patriots. Write their names in red Line them all up on the walls. Condescend the dead Feed your fucking faces as they raise a distant flag Call it a necessity for oil and bloody black Acclimate the notion of infallible good will Take advantage of devotion. Show the children how to kill A million dormant war machines awaiting your command Cost without discretion. Spill their loyalty on foreign sand

Red alert! This is not a test We bring it to you live on emergency broadcast This just in: breaking news flash! A firebomb leak posing danger to the masses Wait! Wait! Don’t panic A crackerjack team has been summoned To the scene of the accident They say it was a random attack But come on now, kids. You know better than that They found him in a suicide vest They decided that sedation would be best The psychoanalytical report read: Prognosis insane, lack of moral support Tick-tock telepathic, kinetic pornographic Glued to the set, tooth and nail eating static He’s gonna flip the switch, you cannot look away Shaking with the pressure, eyes gone grey Long ago, we were young and innocent Far away from decay and decadence Evil came in the form of instruction Born of thirst and material seduction Hostage heart, child of addiction Fall to the spell of blind superstition Sleep sweet sheep. Disregard belief Bound by the need to acquire and keep Damage control, this is Red Team One Suspect is unstable and brandishing a gun He appears to be armed with some inside knowledge We may need an expert in rouge ideology Stop the press, informant overload Communications breakdown, play it back slow We interrupt this telecast With a message for the civil psychopath What a mess, modern monochrome City in the clouds, say it ain’t so Incorporated holy man, valley of the damned Loyalty on instant-queue, religion on demand You saw it first on Channel 17 You read it later on a million tiny screens Regurgitated, parsed and amended Nicely filtered as the media intended Fractal footage for an acclimated nation At the mercy of the angle-down generation Fully functional, ready to submit Singularity is such a good fit Red Team, this is Alpha Command We’re gonna have an epidemic on our hands It’s probably contagious Do not give chase Strap a gas mask on and return to base In other news shares in avarice have soared Securing futures for the fiscal feudal lords Investors promise that conviction will return But lucky for the public There’s no cause for concern Recent findings show a trend of moral deficit Overshadowed by the growth of hive intelligence According to authorities on post-synaptic spending Recession-proof consists of endlessly pretending The latest version of reality is out And user agreement lets you fit in with the crowd Quick-change artist infected bipartisan Cast your vote, let the sickest and the smartest win Let us distract--I mean inform you once again That shit is going down, survival’s looking grim A storm of misdirection is predicted in the forecast Hypocrisy and tear gas will protect the upper class

Give it up, give it up Gonna get it. Gotta go Gather guns for the gas Good god, grab a glock for the road Giddy gold glitch mode Gory ghost story We’ve all gone mad Pick it up, switch it up Peter play the pace Pay a penny to the pipe dream leader Pass it on, shut ‘em up Put a puzzle piece at the feet Of the greedy coin eaters Level up, get lucky Sure shot, hit the mark on the money Last man with a magazine Tuck and roll when the shit drops Fake a shock, take cover Blackjack, big brother Hold ’em close let ‘em wonder Why we always step back from the bluff Leave a blood-stained spatter On the backdrop faster Form fit gash Full fatal rib fracture Put the pedal to the metal Gotta let a little good thing go To attend the elite show Change it up, check a two-tone trigger Take a tap-rack rat-a-tat-tat (Cock it back) Down dizzy, get busy Not a lotta middle ground left over The people get bolder Sin city, gritty hotshot What a pity Pack another cap In the beatbox with me Cold clock pistol-whip, down for the count Hot zone mercenary, no flyin’ out Deal-breaker super soldier citizen shit They got a hollow-point handful of wire tap tricks Jacked up tolerance, catch ‘em while you can Sky drive death deal heater-proof diplomat Evidence affiliated, splinter cell incarcerated Semi-automatic straight razor heart attack Double tap quarter-circle back Better battle with a brute force Tag team, saddle up, strap a tech ten deck Keep a tame eye trained to a turncoat tactic (Beats automatic) Rev it up, kid.

Silicon switch, cyborg sister Telepath witch, artifice shifter Kiss, kiss, bang! Quick-draw outlaw One-part rebel, synergy southpaw She sells what he knows all too well We fell when streets became hell False freedom, dash for cash Pick a side, bitch. Peace won’t last Oh no! Sick, sick, six Buckshot boy, buy ‘em up quick Minimal access, mass hysteria Think fast, clear the area Step aside, lay low as the G.M.O. Mafioso goes postal Freeze frame, static vision Override the system Best behavior, play the game Treading softly, oh so tame Blind betrayal, soul for sale Stigmatizing without fail Kill the context of the letter Bigger, better muzzle fetters Full disclosure, fatal blow Logic weeps and madness grows Chain reaction, light the fire Time for silence to expire Criminal citizen limits Making watchmen into sinners Ineffective measures That inflict immoral pressure Voices echo proud Loyal subjects stand your ground These truths we hold self-evident Timeless right and precedent All hail to the beast Make way for the gore police Life and liberty Crown and country Sky and sea Children of this broken earth Live for what it’s worth Shift, shake, fade, blitz Trigger-happy politics Taking aim with twisted wit Smoke and mirrors benefit Divide and conquer, double standard Hypocrites degrade and slander Jagged split, snow-blind rift Fabricating answers Media machine montage My, oh my! That’s what I thought National dream on pause Feedback loop, they never get caught If I could be more submissive We might relax and enjoy be stripped Of stress and protection Will and resolve It’ll be a better place if we all get along Lean utopian scene Where the people say “yes” And the grass is greener But the gold goes and the hate shows Learn from the past It’s a long way home Frozen glass, we tread on paper tension Bitten back, affecting class Waylaid from ascension Turn up the heat. Take a look around Free will on lockdown. Burn for the beat Be the very best goddamn brainwashed battery Oh no! Halogen halo, in-vitro, beneficial barcode R.F.I.D. the kids. Keep ‘em safely on the grid Sensors sweep. Tempers peak The burden weighs And makes us weaker We must unite and Let our cause prevail Before it fails If we take another step We can be sure our fate is set Choose the higher path Do not falter, forge ahead Turn the tide into a torrent They cannot ignore it Solid stance, sign your name Free of fear and shame One by one, searching souls Awaken to the bitter cold But we can bear it Conviction calls for strength and merit Before we bow our heads Exalt the faithful dead Paid in full with blood Stand beside your brother Timid men prefer their chains To those we preach in vain Some will rise Others yet will bend And then comply Let the words of those Who laid the standard Be our guiding light Follow in the footsteps Of conviction, never compromise Too much, too fast All good things can never last Build a better future From the stain of oil and ash

W.M.D. 05:09
From the cradle to the grave we are bound and enslaved Encoded to agree and to be very well behaved Prodigies progress with a will to survive We seldomly consider what it means to be alive You will take it to your death bed All that hard-wired shit that’s embedded in your head Insatiably inhibited by insubstantiality Obtaining stimulation at the cost of our morality Synthesized in heresy, you broadcast blatant blasphemy Actualizing excess violence, ignorant of moral sense For centuries, integrity has slowly lost its luster ‘Cause pointing guns and building bombs is all that you can muster Comrade, can you hear the sound? Solitude severance crashing down Citizen zombie, tell me what you see We have left the land of the free Red star, white noise, black heart, glory boys Steel your soul for the rain of brass No last words. No turning back The prototype of purity, though modern and complete Dissolves into obscurity, the bastard child of deceit Addicted masochists obsessed with making sure that war exists Devolving into drones deformed by designated demons Decomposing, crooked rot. Your minds have all been taught That not a lot of good will come to those of us uncaught Eroding into empty thoughts while never having fought You lot cannot appreciate the things you haven’t got Adolescent executioners hit the rack Steel toes with a barrel to their back Take ‘em down one by one Dissident fall in the belly of the sun Cold fear combat, transformation HazMat Has the conflict drive Made revisions to your format Wild cat instigator Take it like a gladiator Fighting for the right To annihilate the traitors We will come when Eden calls And rise as preconception falls Our destiny engulfed in flame The everlasting shall refrain Dissonance must never falter Seventh heavens at the altar Sons of trail and tribulation Bathe in bloodshed and elation Faithful servants of duplicity This is the day that the Lord has made So rejoice and take up arms
