Dialectic Chaos



This Day We Fight !

For this I was chosen
Because I fear nothing
With confidence I tread through the dead of night
Off to another wartorn faraway battlefields
Wherein lies a demonic enemy horde

On this day I decide to anoint my fist
Engaging them in the mode of power and war

Stopping at nothing just short of fulfilling my destiny
Willing to die in my will after you for what I believe

A despair of men striking fear in their hearts
Invading their dreams before the day even starts

Wet with your blood I sharpen my sword
No turning the other cheek like a coward
Come tomorrow I may lay down and die
But not this day!

Sent on an unholy quest
To reduce all those who resist
[?]

Vanquish the strangle horse ?
That the netherworld sent for me
The last request of my life is to die killing my enemies

Bathed in blood up to my horses bridle
It's death to retreat, there's no chance of survival

Wet with your blood I sharpen my sword
No turning the other cheek like a coward
Come tomorrow I may lay down and die
But not this day

This day we fight !

Stripped of fallen heroes
[?] are wounded
Collect the spoils of war
and send them the dead

This day we fight !

44 Minutes

It was a cold winter's morning
somewhere shortly past 9:00 AM
the armored car they wanted to heist wasn't coming
so instead they went for the bank

The fateful duo that sat in the get-away car
heavily sedated with thousands of rounds
armor piercing, fully automatic weapons
the bowls of wrath poured out on the ground

[Refrain:]
Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 minutes of target practice
All hell's breaking loose
Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight with a pocketknife
getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel
and brought down the beast!!!

This was an accident waiting to happen
It wasn't if it would happen, it was when
The city's people sabotaged themselves
calling their firepower unneeded expense

The two most violent men it seemed couldn't be stopped
standard police issued guns were just not enough
But SWAT arrived to settle the fight
Between AK-47 and AR-15

1,320

Grinding my teeth, white knuckles grasp at the wheel
I rush from an avalanche of adrenaline, it's all that I feel
As quick as a bolt of lightning, a rocket ride in a bucket seat
It doesn't get any better than this, it just feeds my need for speed

Supercharged, strapped in and screaming
Fire spiting from the pipes
A burnout by the flame throwing fury
8,000 horses ignite
Full throttle, hit the ground running
With a tank full of nitro
And its 1,320' to go to the finish line

My hands hold tight, a fire breathing stampede
I fall into a trance, hold my breath till the light turns green
In a cloud of nitro methane, melting rubber, I say my prayers
Man and machine accelerate and I vanish in thin air

Supercharged, strapped in and screaming
Fire spiting from the pipes
A burnout by the flame throwing fury
8,000 horses ignite
Full throttle, hit the ground running
With a tank full of nitro
And it's 1,320 to go to the finish line

Bite The Hand That Feeds

They ball-gagged Lady Justice
And blindfolded her so she can't see
The erosion of the people's trust
Of what will come to be an FDIC Assisted Suicide

The depression of a depression
Worldwide suicide for the economy
Caused by the dialectic chaos when the
Mob on Wall Street took "We the People" for a ride

When its dog eat dog, you are what you eat
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds

They took everything and anything
As long as it once belonged to me
The rats got all the money; the roaches
Licked the cupboards clean of TV dinners and beer

This never-ending nightmare
Of the dreams I'll never, ever get to see
And just one silver-bullet to your head
It will set me free from all the life I wasted trusting you

When it's dog eat dog, you are what you eat
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
Like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
When it's dog eat dog, you are what you eat
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds
Just like the mad dog that bites the hand that feeds

Bodies Left Behind

This thing called "Life" goes by so quickly
On day you're here and then you're gone
This is the moment I've lived my whole life for
And I'll never give up; I've waited too long

I've waited, waited too long, I've waited too long

And all along the road, all the bodies left behind
May all have been good friends; just not good friends of mine

I've been kicked out and said I quit
Then I said, "I had enough" and "This is it"
All I wanted was just one more show for the road
Cause it was over last time before I could blink, I could blink

I've waited, waited too long, I've waited too long

Their bodies left behind

Endgame

Attention! Attention!
All citizens are ordered to report to their District detention centers!
Do not return to your homes;
Do not contact anyone!
Do not use any cellular or GPS devices!
Surrender all weapons at once!
Attention! This way to the camps!

I woke up in a black FEMA box
Darkness was all around me, in my coffin
My dreams are all nightmares anymore
And this is what I dream every night

The Leader of the New World Order, the President of the United States
Has declared anyone now residing inside the US of A
Without the RFID chip, you're just an illegal alien
An enemy combatant of America, welcome to the New World Order

This is the end of the road; this is the end of the line
This is the end of your life; this is the...

A society in a society, inside the fence life as you know it stops
They got their rules of conduct and we got ours
Be quick or be dead, you crumble up and die, the clock is
Ticking so slowly and so much can happen in an hour

I learned my lessons the hard way, every scar I earned
I had to bleed, inside the day yard
A system of controlled movement, like a giant ant farm
Any time is long time, now you're not in charge of your time anymore

The Ex-President signed a secret bill that can
Land a legal US Citizen in jail and the
Patriot act stripped away our constitutional rights
They say a Concentration camp just popped up, yeah, right!

Refuse the chip ? Ha! Get persecute and beat by the
Tyranny of Mind control, for the mark of the beast
All rights removed, you're punished, captured, and enslaved
Believe me when I say, this is the endgame!

The Hardest Part Of Letting Go... Sealed With A Kiss

Your such a pretty face, radiant
I saw you across the room, I knew I had to have you
I started the chase
I knew I would do anything to take your hand and make you mine
But I learnt long ago that if you love someone
You have to let it go
The hardest part of letting go is saying goodbye

You severed away and it makes him sad
Beneath the venomous moonlight
Why unleash my plan to watch you fail
And why I am so afraid ?

Go to sleep my love
And taste my sweet revenge upon your lips
Sealed with a kiss

I return to the masquerade bomb
I kneel the most if you're weeping
Storm by stone and you order the wall
Forever left you say cheeping

Go to sleep my love
And taste my sweet revenge upon your lips
Sealed with a kiss

But I've learnt long ago
That if you love someone you have to let it go,
Let it go, let it go
The hardest part of letting go is saying goodbye
Goodbye, let it go...

Headcrusher

It's time to take your last walk in this world before your journey begins underground.
Not before we torment you from here, sent straight to hell!
Shortest order in between.
Begging for mercy you're all alone, unable to handle the pressure.
Before its mortification!
Now let the torture begin!

Death by the Headcrusher
Head crusher!
Death by the Headcrusher!
Wow!

Got a ripping torture device for those who fail interrogation,
The most painful technique ever known,
People search for the worst
The stuff that's in exploration.
Beaten, broken, in bloody wreck
Bagging hits off the waste its payback death
It's much too late.
Now let the torture begin!

Death by the Headcrusher
Head crusher!
Death by the Headcrusher!

On your knees, prisoners, take your positions
Place your face forward into the restraint
Your head slowly caves in from the compression
You'll faint to black out from the infernal pain

Way to stay as long as the sky is blue.
You'll see how to break it loose; try to make your way out.
When in doubt, cutting through like broken glass,
seeing through, impregnates the sky, battery clouds,

There's nothing you can do!

How the Story Ends

Far off on the horizon you can barely see their torches
But rest assured they're out there and they're coming
If you listen, the sound is growing nearer of infantry
Marching out a hypnotizing rhythm

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

Above the ring of clashing steel, they raise flags of war
A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear
Amidst smoke of cannonballs, they bang the drums of death
Pound a cadence out for those who cannot see

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
Poison the wells and scorch the earth, everything slashed and burnt
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
Poison the wells and scorch the earth, everything slashed and burnt
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

The Right To Go Insane

I barely get to the graveyard shift on time
After pulling another grueling nine to five
I live from credit card to check
The paper money'swhirling by
And I hardly just, just barely, only just survive

I'm living on the edge, reality is teetering, my mind is on the brink

How will I face the day tomorrow if I can't make it through today ?
I got nothing left to lose, but my sanity and the right to go insane
I got nothing left to lose, but my mind
I got nothing left to choose, so I think I'll go insane

My stomach aches from insufficient funds
My cheeks are gaunt, my guts are overdrawn
My head pounds, starvation's given me the shakes
Too much squalor, too much pressure, and now I'm getting pissed

I'm living on the edge, reality is teetering, my mind is on the brink

Nothing Left To Lose
