Lower Than Filth
04:56
|
|||
Bone cracks, blood splatters
Red stream reaching the front row
To earn my salary, there’s no room for empathy
When I do my job a little red doesn’t bother me
Death by hanging
Broken on the wheel
Or by burning
I’ll be the last thing you’ll see
Up close, scum gathered
Dying in front of the poor crowd
Evaluated on how much I hurt them
In this grim theatre, only one thing is certain
Death by hanging
Broken on the wheel
Or by burning
I’ll be the last thing you’ll feel
Violence doesn’t really interest me anymore
I have lost my passion for the art of it
Kill without evil intention, just making ends meet
Life is cheap, as is my pay
No choice but to keep on going
Full spectrum of human suffering
In an honest days work
I have killed and maimed, delivered inhuman pain
Guilty or not, I’m glad I killed of the whole lot
Behind the lashes, and the broken necks
There’s a crying hangman, lower than filth
Lower Than Filth
I will cut you down
Lower than filth
Cut your life short

Reanimate
02:55
|

Exposed to radiation
No human has endured
Skin to internal organs burnt
No living tissue spared
Enter a new plane of suffering
Undiscovered world
Torture that never ends
Spare no resources
Spare no expense
No matter the cost
Pump life back in to a corpse
Enter a new plane of suffering
Undiscovered world
Torture that never ends
Stretching the limits of nature
Torturers in white
Brought back alive again
Breathe
Life
Animate
Howl in agony, without a voice
Gasp the last words, dying wish
Recharge the stopped heart, ignore the pleads
Deny relief of death, brought back alive
Again
Breathe
Life
Animate

The Loss
04:50
|
|||
Violent and senseless
Ripped from the peak of life
Hear voices, see movement
Swear it was real, senses cannot lie
When the loss is too much to take
And the grief will drive you insane
Irreversible changes
Mind cannot grasp
Inability to move on
Can’t bare to look, can’t face the truth
When the loss is too much to take
And the grief will drive you insane
Feel the cold, hair raising breeze
Chilling the bones
Feel the pull, untimely death
Grip from below
Slip in and out the merciless consciousness
To be awake can be far too cruel
It's not a secret, it's not a sleight of hand
Life is a scene, a paper thin veil
When the loss is too much to take
And the grief will drive you insane
Hearing things that are not there
Echoing through the halls of despair
Echoes through halls of despair

Concrete Salvation
05:49
|

Head in hands, sentence is read
Try to make sense of
Review past choices, what went wrong
Revel in regret
The game is rigged, you're set to lose
Spit on and cursed, face on the news
Undeserved guilt, and the abuse
Assume the face of a murderer
(Forget the old life)
Victim of a rotten circumstance
Wrong time, right actions
Swallowed by the system, and spit out
Submit and serve
The game is rigged, you're set to lose
Spit on and cursed, face on the news
Undeserved guilt, and the abuse
Assume the face of a killer
(Forget the old life)
(Life in a cage)
Trusting was the biggest mistake
(Now you're alone)
Fate is sealed by the clash of the steel door
(Unforgiven)
Take the pills and face the cold wall
(Escape)
Find a way, way out of this hell
How high can you fall to the concrete floor
Caged animal out of options
Suffer no more
Imagine flying, get rid of the weight
Let go paint the wall in memory
Of a crushed soul
The game is rigged, you're set to lose
Spit on and cursed, face on the news
Undeserved guilt, and the abuse
Assume the face of a murderer
(Forget the old life)
(Life in a cage)
Trusting was the biggest mistake
(Now you're alone)
Fate is sealed by the clash of the steel door
(Unforgiven)
Take the pills and face the cold wall
(Escape)
Find a way, way out of this
Concrete salvation

Razors Edge
05:41
|

Waking up, the air is different than before
See the colors for the first time
Watch your step, measure the distance from the sun
Take in the scale of the cosmos
Count with your fingers, imagine all the times
One should be deceased, left without a mark
Closing in, feel the cold breeze on your skin
Memories rushing from last time
Come to terms, the way of life you knew is gone
Take a step to the real world
Count with your fingers, imagine all the times
One should be deceased, left without a mark
Death in the air
Crows are flying low
Unbearable tension
Turning of tide
Moon is shining bright
Balancing on straight razor
All the ways to die
(Perish off the earth)
All the ways to perish off
(Calling your name)
The earth, the void
Calling your name
A fine, red line
Razor close
Razors edge
Hyper aware, or careful
No matter what you say
Can’t ever know who is listening
Avoid the light, read the signs
They’ve never been so clear
Avoid all contact with strangers
Count with your fingers, imagine all the times
One should be deceased, left without a mark
Death in the air
Crows are flying low
Unbearable tension
Turning of tide
Moon is shining bright
Balancing on straight razor
All the ways to die
(Perish off the earth)
All the ways to perish off
(Calling your name)
The earth, the void
Calling your name
A fine, red line
Razor close
Razors edge
Feel the aching, senses burning
Constant alarms ring in my head
Boat capsizing, temperature rising
Remember the words when you're drowning
I feel the urge to flee again
I feel the need to fight, invisible beings
The light keeps following me
Exposing my brains
I’m running until I can’t

Against the Grain
02:31
|
|||
Time to recover, years did nothing
Take the matter in your hands
It's not a choice
Programmed deep, survival instinct
Invent a new faith
Imagine a new way to breathe
Restless mind always wanders
Head stuck inside the clouds
Fog that hides
Who is to fault
Where it went wrong
See through the lies
Cut off the harmful ties
Find a way under the road
Meaningless hollow things float
Learning to filter them out
Flourishing under the ground
Underwater is where I live
Burying myself deeper, the colder it gets
More freely I breathe, more clearly I see
I'm used to the feel, of cold rocks breaking my skin
Rip the pages from your holy script
I don’t beg for forgiveness, I turn away
From your kind, directions are mine
I chose the freefall, In to nothingness
Burning coals and rusted nails
Focus on breathing
Ignore the flames (chosen path)
Slow suffocation
Thousand cuts
Keep marching forth
Against the grain
Find a way under the road
Meaningless hollow things float
Learning to filter them out
Flourishing under the ground

Apathy
06:46
|
|||
Wallowing in your filth
Sores all over, wheezing breath
Takes commitment
To rot away like this
Aspirations long gone
As is will to live
Lying in a pool of shit
Blood and vomit, something else
Foreign growth on your skin
Senses long gone
As is will to die
Close your eyes
And its still black
Vibrant dread
Won’t go away
Can’t face the failures
Buried deep
Crippled by
Emotions denied
Apathy
In this life its all you get to see
Misery
Barely breathing useless lump of flesh
Worms that feed
On your foul meat
Only warmth
You’ll ever feel
Marked for failure
Gone since birth
Course of life
Too late turn, choose to rot
Apathy
In this life its all you get to see
Misery
Barely breathing useless lump of flesh
Inside and out
Mind and body, slowly collapsing
Gradual change
Too late to rewind what has been done
Left to your own
Slow devices, unable to function
So frail and weak
Too pathetic even to off yourself
Wallowing in your filth
Sores all over, wheezing breath
Takes commitment
To waste away
Aspirations long gone
As is will to live

Burning Hatred
03:24
|
|||
Tainted blood
Moved through the vessel by frantic heart beat
Corrupting every living cell
Strike a nerve
Feel the radiating, lacerating chaos
Slave to adrenaline, self consumed offering
Eyes wide and dilated
Consciousness separated
Fall in the trance that's sacred
Harness burning hatred
Cut the limbs
Lose the weight
Spread the wings, soar higher
Built to take lives, streamlined for genoceide
Rising heat
Learn to ignite white flames on will
Pure emotion, pure determination
Eyes wide and dilated
Consciousness separated
Fall in the trance that's sacred
Harness burning hatred
Emerging tension, pressure increase
Sinister feeling, reach the boiling point
There's something moving, coming deep below
Malignant tumor, a cancerous growth
Separate flesh
Clawing out eyes
Fingers from nails
Impulses run wild
Isolate, self immolate
Reborn, leave the flesh
Exist as a higher being in a black void
Burning hatred
