Requiem

Oh great fanged mother
I call upon thee
Arise
With Vengeance
And a voice
Of blasphemy
Bring out your dead [x2]
touch, taste, feel [x3]
No. Don't do it. Stop.
I'm sorry, no, I can't, please
Can you hear me ?
help me
That's impossible, that's impossible, stop listening
As long as you are under my roof you will respect me [x4]
The only truth is suffering, the only truth is suffering
And it's ok to hate yourself
Just lay still don't cry for help
No. No. No.
Run, anywhere you can
It's coming, the suffering is here
I'm sick but I need my disease [x3]
Im sick
No one is safe, no where is safe
I'm sorry, it was a mistake, someone let me out of here
Please, let me out of here
Go away, go away, go away
Surrender
Is your only hope

Warhead


Why ?
The king of lies
Is alive
Look around
Look inside
Infidel [x3]
It begins here, it ends now
The prince must pay
His head or the crown
Rob the poor, slaughter the weak
Distort the law, perfect deceit

Do I need a gas mask ?
Should I get inoculated ?
Will this war last ?
Will we be incincerated ?
False gods
Death squads
Blind

This is a catastrophe
Weapon systems activated
Puritans have invaded
This is a catastrohpe
To protect against the threat
Order must be kept [x3]

Do I need a gas mask ?
Should I get inoculated ?
Will this war last ?
Will we be incincerated ?
False gods
Death squads
Blind

The elephants march to war
Concede
Conform
Concede
Conform
Deny the big lie
My tribe
Join me
An alliance of defiance, in the warhead [x3]
An alliance of defiance
All are welcome here
Give me your tired, give me your sick, give me your indulgence and decadence [x3]
He lied, they died, keep the peasants terrified [x2]
This is a catastrophe
You must lead if they get me
On my command
Break free [x4]

Buried Alive

I speak in verses, prophecies, and curses [x2]
I hate my life
No miracle is coming
Hate you
It's just a hole
Hate you
Nothing's wrong with you
Hate you
Must maintain control
Hate you
Everyone's asking questions
No place is safe
I'll forfeit resurrection
To escape this pain

I hate my life [x8]

I speak in verses, prophecies and curses
This storm of thorns is growing
Hate me
There's no end in sight
Hate me
Chaos claws my jaw
Hate me
And incites a mental riot
Hate me
I'm in the mouth of madness
With a tongue of poetry
I ate the spine of Atlas
Now the world is crushing me

I hate my life [x6]

Buried alive behind enemy lines
Surrogate child for the sins of all mankind
Hate
Buried alive behind enemy lines, buried alive, buried alive [x3]
For the sins of all mankind

Sepsis


Sha Nagba Imurru [x2]
All names, all forms
Obsessed about
Money and power
Obsessed about
Sexual encounters
Obsessed about
Passion and pain
Possessed like a martyr
Getting high off the flames

I have a bulimic mind
I have a soul that's one of a kind
I have a bulimic mind
Look at me enemy open your eyes
Accept your fate
For the hate you create
I'm sick of pretending
That your world is not ending

All names all forms
Sha Nagba Imurru [x2]
I saw the mystery I know the secret [x2]

Obsessed about
Dominion and death
Obsessed about
Infecting the nest
Obsessed about
Seeking revenge
For being trapped
In this body of wounds and regret

I know the mystery I know the secret
I saw the mystery I know the secret
Open your eyes [x3]

Said the serpent to the snake
You were shit when I found you
Pinpricks and emptiness
Deceiver
You doubt me
Eat my wrath
I will pull down the gates of abaddon
I will let the dead roam free
They will eat the living
Agony [x2]
Obsessed, oppressed [x3]
Sepsis
Obsessed, oppressed [x3]
Sepsis
Obsessed, oppressed [x3]
Sepsis
Smells like victory

House Of Secrets

Shh It's okay, it's okay
This is our
Dirty, little, secret

We're all alone in the city
My hands are stoned with pity
I could get by or get high with fifty yeah
And I, I, I, don't feel pretty
Today

And there's a lady in a stable
Her daddy reads her fables
About the moon and his bride
He's in her room every night
And feeds upon a table
Of silken robes, an altar of stone
But the child is unable
To run run run
And flee his tower of babel
So blood blood blood
Slithers down her ankles

We're all alone in the city
My hands are stoned with pity
I could get by or get high with fifty yeah
And I, I, I, don't feel pretty
Today

Come one, come all, witness the fall
Cry to the sky
Today we break away
Uprising [x3]
In the house of secrets
What happens here stays here, say nothing disappear [x2]
Uprising, what happens here stays here, uprising, say nothing disappear
Uprising [x2]

Locked away
In the chamber of hysterics
Here
In the house
Of secrets
In the house of secrets
I will tell you of loneliness
Shhhhh

Hooks & Splinters

You fucking parasite
I'll beat you til you die
It hides inside me [x3]
Sic semper tyrannus

Everyday you decay
In chains, dismayed
Broken soul, splintered bones
Ghost children
In their graves
Sold as slaves
Unstable
Greedy flames
Life is a sacrifice
A 7 inch slice
The still-born waste
Of a suicide christ

I'm learning to like the pain
I hope you die, we broken people [x2]
It's hides inside me [x2]

Everything is dead
Every day is black
Word becomes flesh
Bloodied, burned, and scratched
Everything dead
Every day is black
The face I wore was yours
As I launched this self-attack
Hypocrite
Heretic
Blasphemer

In pain
Insane
A bullet in the head, a knife wound in the
I cried, as my innocence died [x2]

Death will have mercy
I won't
Here in the serial killer holy land
It's not over [x2]
We've only just begun
Like a fetus on the floor
Like an addict wanting more
Like a sex slave
Crying and sore
I want to smell the violence
I need to see you bleed
Take me inside your soul
And make it weep for me
I need to believe

I will sit, I will wait, I will make, no mistake [x2]
>From slave to master
I've become the hydra
More heads and venom
It hides
Inside
Me
Hooks and splinters [x2]
It hurts
To
Exist

Gutter


I once
Dreamed of a world
Without consequences
Without reminders
Of this
Brutal
Gutter
I am collapsed in
Once I dreamed
But then
I
Woke
Up

Autopsy Song


Open wide, look inside [x2]
At my autopsy

I feel like
A woman
I feel like
I care
I feel like
I shouldn't
I feel like a child
Of despair
I feel like
It's over
I feel like it's coming
After me
I feel like
It's closer
I feel like this is all I'll ever be
I feel like
A failure
I feel like a hungry
Parasite
I feel like
A razor
I feel like a prayer
Lost in flight
I feel like
I'm hopeless

I'm afraid I'm a slave, I'm weak and average [x2]

I feel like
A hammer
I feel like
A nail
I feel like
I'm guilty
I feel like the wrist that it impales
I feel like
A butcher
I feel like
I'm being decieved
I feel like a beautiful loser
I feel like all you sheep
Are laughing at me

Open wide, look inside, at my autopsy
My autopsy

I feel like a complete waste of time
I feel I'm
Transparent
I feel like I can't
Escape my mind

Suicide Trees


I spent my
whole life
In love with despair
Kept my lungs full
With the breath of thier
Mute atmosphere
I became
What I hate
And thus
Shall I remain
To give birth to a
Mighty assasin
Armed with a weapon of words
To defy the lies
To never compromise
No
Today
My name
Is pain
I stood
Beyond the world
Whispering secret syllables in the
Eyeless dark
Dancing wildly
Round and round on the rotting ground
Surrounded by the dead dusts of hell
This is how I delete myself
And this is how I corrupt
Everyone else
Obey [x2]
Betray [x2]
You are not unique
You do not need to think
Take it [x3]
I will [x3]
You succumb
So nicely
Like an insect staring back
Like a dying dove
My love [x2]

So here we are again
The sheets are staind and bloodied
The animals scratch at my skin
Here we are again
My face is scraped and bloodied
I've nothing left to give

I wasn't there
I'm not involved
I'm innocent
It's not my fault
I wasn't there, I'm not involved, I'm innocent, It's not my fault [x2]
Here in the suicide trees [x2]

No, bloody, bloody, bloody
Murder
Among the exciment of my sins
It's not happening [x7]

So here we are again
In secret ceremonies
Changing shape, amen
Here we are again
Pretending not to notice
The illness sneaking in

I wasn't there
I'm not involved
I'm innocent
It's not my fault
I wasn't there, I'm not involved, I'm innocent, It's not my fault [x2]
Here in the suicide trees [x2]

Toil and labor, hate your neighbor, faith in favor, obey [x2]
Obey [x2]
Here I do as I please, obey, here in the suicide trees, obey [x2]
Hate your neighbor [x2]
Scratch at my skin
It's not happening

Nein


My pain, my pride, these scars are mine [x3]
I will tell you a story
That's never been told
I wll tell you a secret
Five lifetimes old
My life has been a prison
A labyrinth built beneath the mountain of tragedy
I'm a stain on the cloth
I'm just an after-thought
But I
Would die
For this

But through the veins of decay
I'll remain to betray
To live like Caesar
To die like Jesus
To build my own religion
No gods, no laws
To celebrate pain
Forsaken and ashamed
To watch them all
Crawl beneath us
On this bed of nails and regret
Dying of fevers, betrayal, and sweat
I cry

My organs are rotting
My enemies are plotting
I am made of pages
Paragraphs and inspirations
Paper girl, burn the world
I pass the flame to you
Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him [x4]
Murder, mayhem, fuck her, slay them

My pain, my pride, these scars are mine [x2]
My pain
My misery has been formulated into an equation of nein
My sanity wrote a suicide note but
One of us is illiterate
And the other is blind
My first act of treason was picking up a pen
My
First act of love was
Finding myself again
The hardest thing to do
Was standing up to you
Now I'm off my knees
Now you're begging me please
I'm the wound and the weapon
The fracture and the
Fist

My organs are rotting
My enemies are plotting
I am made of pages
Paragraphs and inspirations
Paper girl, burn the world
I pass the flame to you
Murder, mayhem, hurt her, hate him [x4]
Murder, mayhem, fuck her, slay them

That stabbing in your heart
That black hole in your soul
Slowly ripping you apart
That's me [x2]
So let it be written
So let it be done
The brighter they shine
The darker
We
Become
Vae victus, abomination [x3]

Self-Made

No [x3]
Into the defect
The reason
The source
Of all this
Mysery
And extract it
Forever

What heals me kills me

I'm a natural assasin
A massacre in action
I've never known remorse
Or felt any compassion
This is my drug of choice
The reason demons rejoice
My rage remains a beast untamed

I bet you'll remember me now

Glutton
I am heartbreak and depression
Regret without redemption
A wounded animal
Afraid of my reflection
I am an epidemic
This is a crime of passion
The willing weak deserve defeat
The penance will be savage

I bet you'll remember me now [x2]

Bi-polar
Self-abortion
Mind fuck
Can't escape
These chains
Of shame
I'm stuck
Swollen in the mud
Barely
Standing still
Hungry for the hunt
And the thrill
Of the kill

Come on
I've always been a shadow
Content with my disease
You'll never see it coming
'Cause you never notice me
Unload
Words are the remedy [x2]

What heals me kills me [x9]
The plague rages on

I've built myself out of ash and agony
I am ready
I
Am
I
I am my own creation, I am, self-made [x3]
Destroyers
I am I
A bone heals
A bruise fades
But art is forever

Shattered Pieces

And this is how the world died [x2]
I can hear you judging me
I'll hear your confession
I found the best piece of me
Kneel down
Alone
Shivering in the dark
Three centimeters tall
And talk to god
Eating it's heart
But you will not feast on me today
This is how the world died
Who will slay this thing
I forgive you
Who will play the butcher and
End my suffering
I forgive you
I fucked the minds of the masses with the fingers of liberty
This is not a threat
This is not
A threat
I'm not perfect
I'm not a beauty queen I'm just me
I'm just me
We are all
Prisoners here
All shapes and sizes
I've screamed for all the women I've never been but hoped I would be
I'm proud of who I am
Forever
Chasing the sun
I'm proud of me
She bites her trembling mind
It began as all tragedies do
Forgive me [x2]
With pain and deception
If you'll be the paper I'll be the pen
This is it
I've tasted hell
And it tastes just like you

My final plea
No one is coming to save me
No one is going to change things
The answers will not drop from the sky
I will not one day wake with a different disguise
No
The only solution
Is revolution
Art is war
Fight [x2]
The odds were always against me
Lose weight
Clearly think
I exist I am broken [x2]
If god is my father
Then I am an orphan
I am broken
I am not a mistake [x2]
My ancestry is a ghost story
I'm a prophecy
My love life is a crime scene
I'm an omen
My self-esteem is a string of unsolved murders
The radio is brainwashing me filling my head with these
Self conspiracies
I am an emotional nightmare
I can't hide the pain inside
Builder of my own mythology
Just tell me
You're listening
