Dead From the Start!
03:32
|

(Places ready? Let's roll!)
Smile for the camera,
Smile little prey!
Smile for the faceless crowd,
Smile to the grave.
Smile for the camera,
Your face is looking blue-
Can't have you passing out
So I know what to do.
Smile for the people
Spread out far and wide
Tuning on the internet
To see your breakout line.
Smiles for the victim
From vultures hunting prey
Now its time to cry, what do you have to say
Die, die-
I need you screaming for me
Pulling tight the rope
Finding it hard to breathe.
Stab, stab-
You're a real bleeding heart
We're here to make a movie
But the thing is
You're dead from the start.
Cut!
Smile, smile
Smile as you pray
Smile for the camera
While tears roll down your face.
Don't try and play the victim this time
Damsel in distress you're doing just fine.
My you look so pretty,
It truly is a shame-
I'm here to take your life
And I don't know your name!
Die, die
I need you screaming for me
Pulling tight the rope
Finding it hard to breathe.
Stab, stab
You're a real bleeding heart
We're here to make a movie
But the thing is
You're dead from the start.
We're here to make a movie
But the thing is
You're dead from the start.

Blood Diamonds
03:34
|

Raised was I in a village
Far from here, the crime.
Young are my eyes to the ways of men
And their brutal hands and minds.
Enlisted was I in a village
Burned and pillaged for me,
Enslaved at the end of a rifle
To die before I can be.
Taken was I from my family
And demanded to kill for war.
A million broken families
Lay shattered, forgotten, burned.
Young are my eyes to pain
To see so much suffering.
Blood diamonds fill the pockets of the rich
Burying bodies, how many different kids?
Holding ground, sneak attack-
Raiding a village who aren't fighting back.
High on the powder, filling with rage
Such young a mind for so much hate.
Pillage and plunder, plunder and kill
Raping and killing for another's will.
Burning tears fall from the sun,
A woman screams as the hyena run.
A village is burning, it's paths run red.
Marching feet of the living dead.
Marching feet of the living dead.
Raised was I in a village
Far from here, the crime.
Young are my eyes to the ways of men
And their brutal hands and minds.
Enlisted was I in a village
Burned.
Blood diamonds fill the pockets of the rich
Burying bodies, how many different kids?
Blood diamonds fill the pockets of the rich
Burying bodies, how many different kids?
Burying the bodies
How many different kids?

Ghostways

Gone you've been gone
So long,
And yet here you fill my head?
Gone you've been gone
So long-
Get out!
Your face as I watched you drown.
This misbegotten frown,
My hands still feel your hair
I still feel you there
Haunting me everywhere.
Get out of my head!
Why can't you just stay dead?
I watched the light leave your eyes.
I watched you horrified,
You died.
Haunt, why do you haunt
The hallways of my mind?
I see you in every mirror,
Your face looks just as clear.
This misbegotten crown
My hands still hold you down!
Shadows dance in tattered gown
Soaked and watered down.
Faces in puddles I turn,
Why won't you let me out?
Remove your rotten fingers from my brain.
Remove your rotten fingers from my brain.
I watched the light leave your eyes.
I watched you horrified,
You died.
You died!
Haunt, why do you haunt
The hallways of my imagination?
I see you in every instance,
Ghostways have become my existence.
So long,
And yet here you fill my head?
Get out of my head.
Get out of my head.
Get out of my head!

The Passing
03:53
|
|||
Stood by your side
I'm here with you.
I watch you sleep in between,
Never sure of your return.
I imagine your dreams of cosmic sheep,
Dreams in the cosmic deep-
The time is passing
But I know
You are leaving me here.
I cannot keep you here.
Stood by your side,
I'm here with you.
I watch you sleep in between
Never sure of your return.
Return!
Stay!
I'm stood here by your fading visage
Colorless against what once was bright.
Beautiful and once immaculate,
Desecrated and robbed of light.
The time is passing
But I know I cannot keep you here
But you are leaving me
(Desecrated and robbed of light,
The time is passing but I know-)
Beautiful and once immaculate
Desecrated and robbed of light.
(And I'm not ready to wait for you there)

Note on the Door

To whom this may concern,
I've been watching you.
I know who you are.
I'm your friend to be.
(I watch. I see)
(Run)
(Hide)
Run!
(Get away!)
To whom you know this to be,
You yes you,
You belong to me!
Call the police and see.
I know you but you don't know me.
I'm free and you're prisoner now!
Prisoner to your own safety.
Home is where the heart is
And home is where you will bleed.
To whom this may concern,
I've been watching you.
I know who you are
And you don't know me.
(There's no escape)
(Run!)
I watch you when you sleep. (never sleep)
I see you when you cry. (cry cry cry)
I trace you when you walk about,
I want to see you die!
I'm free and you're prisoner now!
Prisoner to your own safety.
Home is where the heart is (You will never escape!)
And home is where you will bleed. (You will never escape!)

Violation
04:04
|

It's so hard to breathe
I still feel the weight of your chest.
Haunting me like a phantom
Everyday is a fight for my best.
I'll never be whole again.
Stolen once and now forsaken,
Water wash the filth away.
All the pieces you've taken from me.
Stolen all smiles and love
Defiled like animal,
Violated by your violent dreams.
My world is an engulfing fire.
Fueled by burning desire
I beg to see you suffer.
(Scream)
And watch your people defiled
As I have been defiled.
Your ultimate denial
As I have been denied.
You can never replace
what you have taken from me.
You can never change
What you have done to me.
You can never replace-
I despise the thought of you.
What I wish I could do
To make you feel how you made me feel too.
All the pieces you've taken from me.
Pulled apart at the seams
Defiled like animal
Shattered by your violent dreams.

I need, I see, I want,
The cheaper the more I bought.
It's made to be replaced,
Born to become waste.
I need, I see, you're mine-
New releases for me to buy.
They happen all the time
Trained to cycle through every design.
Don't think, don't care, don't hear!
Subversion by dealings unclear.
Psychology against your mind,
Advertising by design.
I need everything money can buy!
Throw away last seasons old design.
Piles are forming all the time
Burying us all alive.
Burning in someone's stove.
Their children choke on smoke.
Born defective in decay
In A world smothered by waste.
I need, I see, I want,
The cheaper the more I bought.
It's made to be replaced,
Born to become waste.
Avert your eyes to the pain
Brought by your reckless spending.
Pollution sends us all to the grave
As millions slave away.
I need.
I see.
I want,
Taught to spend without second thought!
Burning in someone's stove.
Their children choke on smoke.
Born defective in decay
In A world smothered by waste.
Don't think, don't care, don't hear!
Subversion by dealing unclear.
Psychology against your mind
Advertising by design.
Burning in someone's stove.
Their children choke on smoke.
Born defective in decay
In A world smothered by waste.

Swords of Submission
03:35
|
|||
Binding words of silence
Heads held in the air
Welding shields of violence
Walls against despair.
At war with ambivalence
Back breaking indifference
Callous opposition
Reflecting real hell.
Jailer of self damnation
Condemned by bitter truths
Pinned by swords of sadness
Designed to make you lose
Stagnate the blood above
Stagnate the water below
Drowned in sorrows we sow
Witch hunts with our reason
Nooses stocked with feelings
Heads bent in anger
Self reflections fading.
Self flagellation
Repenting inner lies
Bleed through for salvation
Saved by hollow cries
God forbid the swords of submission
Brought against the minds of men
Recipients of your derision
Cast into the dark again.
Stagnate the blood above
Stagnate the water below
Drowned in sorrows we sow
(Pinned by swords of sadness designed to make you lose)
We sow.
Binding words of silence
Heads held in the air
Welding shields of violence
Walls against despair.
At war with ambivalence
Back breaking indifference
Callous opposition
Reflecting real hell.
The lord giveth
and the lord taketh away.
Stagnate the blood above
Stagnate the water below
Drowned in the sorrows we sow.
God forbid the swords of submission
Brought against the minds of men.

I'll Give You S.T.A.R.S

S.T.A.R.S
(Listen to me
You need to leave to leave right now.
It's coming and it's going to kill both of us
and its not going to stop until we're dead.
You need to get out of here
Go!)
(This is my last chance.
My last escape.)
September 28th daylight
Somehow I'm still alive
The city has fallen in the depths of night.
Arklay personified
I cannot wait
This is my last escape
Running through streets alight
Bodies piled left and right
Police cruisers left in the way
(Past the bar
Past their arms)
City full of the walking dead
Monsters chasing me again
Hands reaching out from death
I just need to fight
I must survive
What the hell is that thing
Wrapped in black and seamed skin?
Chasing me it calls from its disfigured jaws
Pursuer in the night, my nemesis my blight
Time to run or time to fight.
This is my last escape
(S.T.A.R.S)
Searching for S.T.A.R.S in the night
One target gone, the other verified
Mission directive to find Valentine
Find valentine
Find valentine
It's chasing me again
Mutating, infection
Hulking mass of walking death
I have to fight
I must survive
If you want S.T.A.R.S I'll give you S.TA.R.S
If you WANT S.T.A.R.S I'll give you S.T.A.R.S
If you want S.T.A.R.S I'll give you S.TA.R.S
If you WANT S.T.A.R.S I'll give you S.T.A.R.S

Drowning Indifference
03:42

The cockroaches make good companions
When you're the living trash
I feel at home with the maggots
They and I, I see no difference.
Another stale cigarette to add to this image
I've gone and spilled another bottle
I'm too lazy to care about my existence
And I'm too far off the edge again
I hold my breath until the panic hits
I hold my breath until breathing quits
How much can I drink before my liver quits?
It's fucking pointless to care
Because who the fuck cares about living anyway?
I just want to drink myself to death.
I just live to fuck and die.
Story of a life
Wasted
Story of a life
running out of time.
I hold my breath until the breathing quits
I hold my breath until panic hits
Oh!
Hold my breath
The cockroaches make good companions
When you're the living trash
I feel at home with the maggots
They and I, I see no difference.
Another stale cigarette to add to this image
I've gone and spilled another bottle
I'm too lazy to care about my existence
And i'm too far off the edge again
I hold my breath until the panic hits
I hold my breath until it quits

Into the unknown
Again we’ve arrived
Darkness takes the world and submerges it in lies,
Weapons in our hands
Against the hordes of undead
Hearing laughing voices all within my head.
All within my head!
Corpses smile amidst the rubble piles
Fighting wave after wave.
Beaten, bitten, surely to be eaten
We're ready to meet in the grave.
Teleporters sparking lightning in the night,
Haunting faces putting up a fight
Advanced weapons of war ignite
Say goodbye to your life!
All within my head
Voices of the dead
Telling me the secret
That I will live again!
Corpses laughing in the pale moonlight
At the monkeys little chimes,
Blood is flowing at the edge of my knife
I'm not ready to die.
Drink up for a bottle cap
Double slaughter, double tap
Fight them off, no turning back
Reload, chamber, rack
Reload, chamber, rack
Panic, attack
No one gets out alive
No one will survive
No one gets out alive
No one cries when everyone dies
Into the unknown
Again we’ve arrived
Darkness takes the world
No one will survive

The sea sits calmly here
And peacefully she breathes,
Her caressing hands comfort fear
Of nearing troubled seas.
We spoil under the ever rising sun
Recently the days have come
Where storms are on the horizon
The clouds have massed beyond the sun
Obscuring what can be seen.
I walk between the arches
And float upon the sea.
I walk between the arches
And float upon the sea.
The great Mandala spins far beyond the eye
Chants come rolling in from the ever speaking tide.
Voices whisper softly of comfort in my ear,
Then scream until I cannot stand to hear.
Voices whisper softly of comfort in my ear,
Voices from the sea tell me trouble is near
Then scream until I cannot stand to hear.
(Shi)
The great Mandala spins far beyond the eye
The great Mandala spins far beyond the eye
The great Mandala spins far beyond the eye
Recently the days have come
Where storms are on the horizon
The clouds have massed beyond the sun
Obscuring what can be seen.
Embraced by the warmth
So bright is the sun
My eyes glow so radiant
The circle becomes
Encircling
I'm breathless
Spinning
I am wind.
Encircling
I'm breathless
Shining
I am wind.
