Serf in U.S.A.
04:17

Bloated husk of fleshy steel lumbers heavy still
Spokes within a rusted wheel unknowingly give their will
To the plod whose weight they'll feel when the load is spilled
Your life has been stolen but you do not even know
Collective pustule swollen, under pressure must explode
Systemic function broken, by our own hands erode
From first light, choked with doubt
Until life's flame dies out

Mortality's Affair
03:38

Thrown down an empty abyss
Your body forgotten, your soul never missed
It didn't have to come to this
Now for a quick end is all that you wish
Meet a death wrought by loving hands
Your mind's in a frenzy, you just can't understand
You're falling hard with nowhere to land
Watch someone you love turn beast from man
Your last thoughts are one of confusion
Your last words are one of beseechment
Conflict built to resentment
This is how the fairy tale is ended

Reality seems to be shifting
From the life you once knew so well
In and out of sound mind drifting
Doomed to frantic confusion in your own hell
Madness in waves approaching
Breaks up the ground on which you stand
Upon your weakened life encroaching
Cast out forever in your own land
Circuitously drifting, blind to the beauty of life
Shattered misconceptions make you helpless to your strife
Premortem decomposition affects your spirit and mind
The voices around you sound uplifting but they drag you further from the light

Martyrs by machinery suspended
Over jaws of justice pretended
Fascist chains shackle minds
Keep the people scared and blind
Living in a police state of hell
Beaten from the pulpit inside the cell
Thoughtless the process dominating
Tossed to the hounds for mutilating
Hunted, cornered, killed, evicted
No wind in the pipe restricted
Bringing the innocent to their knees
There's no justice, there's no peace
Showing no regard for human life
Sowing discord, hate and strife
The game of violence is always rigged
Until we kill all the pigs
In the hands
|

Animals who eat the hearts of gods
A thousand years of pain within an hour
Hatred of all human evidence
Join the catastrophic killing dance
No more time to waste
Walk to your own fucking pace
Take a step out of the line
Slave to the wage, slave to the grind
So long we've acted as a herd of sheep
Doing as we're told without a peep
Following every single command
Now it's time to think with your left hand
No more time to waste
Walk to your own fucking pace
Take a step out of the line
Slave to the wage, slave to the grind
