An act of truthful misdeed, believing our constant need Believing constructs of lies, for safety from the truth we despise Ignore the facts all you want, the awakening might sometime be spawned In this ignorance are no rights, just some fucked up wrongs Betraying, yet clinically sane - swallowing on my own pain Eating, while filled to the brim - leaving others lovingly eat their own skin Leaving when clearly meant to stay - ignorance will never be astray Slammed, thrown to the ground - at least my soul stayed unbound An act of untruthful favour, hailing your so-called saviour Obliverating all signs of truth, that all is an act of sleuth Initiate the mind's obstruction, further quickening destruction In this ignorance are no rights, just some fucked up wrongs Betraying, now critically insane - everything seems like a fucked up game Eating one's own skin - feasting on the hand's we're given Here to stay against all odds, beneath our feet the earth tears up The sight is focused on golden lies, global greed becomes a trite Recite the morals we left behind, the brightest day becomes a night Keep ignoring the fathom fact, each beginning brings an end Now that all deeds went undone, destruction is what is common Every building meant to stay now the wind carries astray From the ashes from what once was, organically rebuild what never was These peaceful visions seem reoccur, like a wet dream in a pervert's soul Here to stay against all odds, beneath our feet the earth tears up The sight is focused on golden lies, global greed becomes a trite Recite the morals we left behind, the brightest day becomes a night Keep ignoring the fathom fact, each beginning brings an end

Tyrant 03:47
And it feels like a tyrant is waking within Fed by the fears of the masses and corporate wealth The golden youngling smiles at us and plays at messiah When time is right for riot, it might be too late The fire has burned down long ago, yet embers remain The working class once united, now stands duly divided Might regain the backbone of righteousness and tear off the veil from their eyes Then the golden tyrants might relearn the power of fear Rise, break those chains raise your voice and shout out your anger Rise, break those chains raise your voice and shout out your anger

The gust of impurity blew and let chaos befall land Comprehensible yet so complex, mindlessly destroy what's made Defying all logic to stay damned, through noxcious concepts Reaching into a deadmen's land - a purtian's hand The rotten's heart is full of darkness and mess Without thinking he provoces chaos to seem Further encapsulating destruction in this dimension While the enlightened's heart might be more pure Also his action shall bring chaos to these lands The difference lies not in action, but merely in reason The gust of impurity blew and let chaos befall land Comprehensible yet so complex, mindlessly destroy what's made Defying all logic to stay damned, through noxcious concepts Reaching into a deadmen's land - a purtian's hand The gust of impurity blew and let chaos befall land Comprehensible yet so complex, mindlessly destroy what's made Defying all logic to stay damned, through noxcious concepts Reaching into a deadmen's land - a purtian's hand Let chaos befall land to mindlessly destroy what was made through noxcious concepts

I have cast off shackles of faith A believer nevermore Go cast me out of your little tribe I don't need you anymore So put the noose around my neck And with a smile, I'm defying death "Part of the group" has lost appeal If the group is certifiably insane You stay on message, and they repeat The whole flock sharing half a brain So put the noose around my neck And with a smile, I'm defying death A lone pariah, a heretic King of the outcast, a lunatic Walking alone, I will survive Head held high, fist to the sky Feel the fury, bring the pain I endure, hail to the insane The downward spiral of society Has got me scared and entertained Mankinds demise brought by mankinds hand Just puts a smile upon my face So put the noose around my neck And with a smile, I'm defying death A lone pariah, a heretic King of the outcast, a lunatic Walking alone, I will survive Head held high, fist to the sky Feel the fury, bring the pain I endure, hail to the insane

Among the first light of day the visions appear to stay The hardships of yesterday swept by bliss from reveries Oh sweet silence, break the violence Oh sweet violence, break the silence At the end of the crescent day the torment seems far away In reality owned by hunger and knavery Oh sweet wisdom, break the wholesome Oh sweet wholesome, break the wisdom At the end of the crescent day the torment seems far away In reality owned by hunger and knavery Sunshine comes after a rainy day, these visions were never meant to stay Gold pot under the rainbow rays, these visions were never meant to stay Freedom upon a shackled race, these visions were never meant to stay Just waiting it would go away, these visions were never meant to stay Mindlessly walking away, these visions were never meant to stay 75 years of silent peace, these visions were never meant to Oh sweet sheep, break the deceit Oh sweet deceit, break the sheep Hope will wash all evil away, these visions were never meant to stay We won't build a wall, they say; these visions were never meant to stay Calamity will bring a better place, these visions were never meant to stay Lastly live after you're buried deep, you were never meant to stay

In the biting winds of this ashen realms We drown in molten rust, burned remains Nothing to lose, nothing to gain Walking wounds, we remain No more haven, no more shelter Our betrayal made our tomb Nothing to lose, nothing to gain Walking wounds, we remain

Death Hippie 03:02
The tale of a man concealed Forsaken within his 20m² Always fucked up in worn-out yoga pants No shoes found in his belongings Vegan blood of rage rushes through his veins Killing people for the sake of animals They all call him by his middle name The job-center worker's final boss Said to be on food-stamps since '84 Reaping working-class money is just fine Vegan blood of rage is rushing through his veins Spinal fluid ripped from the bong, They all call him by his middle name And he's always moving in for the full-blown kill Never accept a tab from him It will decompose your organs from withing Holes in the brain and in the nose Yes, death will be really close They all call him by his middle name They all call him by his middle name They all call him by his middle name Jack the bong reaper

Unnerving beauty Picture-perfect being Cloaked deity Terrible fate Faceless legend Cracking skin Clay-formed face Terrible fate Oh, nameless distress Fathomless Forge the way Lead me astray Oh, nameless distress Fathomless Reveal Thy Face Reveal Thy Face Hand me a mask I'd take mine off Replace my soul Rip me to the bone Hand me a mask I'd take mine off Refurbish my holes Fix me awhole

Slumped on your throne Your voice coarse and weak Your realm's a damp dark basement You feel a mighty king Wrinkled flesh on bones Twisted, brittle, thin Your mirror shows a warrior Loving your own deceit You fail to see what you have come to be you fail to see what you will always be Your chamber echoes wisdom The truth that you speak No need for other voices When you know all you need Wrinkled flesh on bones Twisted, brittle, thin Your mirror shows a warrior Loving your own deceit You fail to see what you have come to be you fail to see what you will always be

When the crowds in town amasses, we mesh into the masses A Legion built from discontent Stealthin we remain unseen, almost as if we've never Close to you Hail, Chaos, Hail Hail, Chaos, Hail Hail, Chaos, Hail Hail, Chaos, Hail We pollute the minds, provoke their sentiment To contain irrationality They become content, obedient and numb But freed from their chains we built Hail, Chaos, Hail Hail, Chaos, Hail Hail, Chaos, Hail Hail, Chaos, Hail Spawn of Chaos sits inside your mind You've been infected, no longer strife For your longing of dissatisfaction You've been freed craving attention Spawn of Chaos sits inside your mind Soul-polluting your inner drive Of constant passive exploitation They call us the Legion of Chaos Once infected there is no cure, not a damn thing you can do Until death Better get some comfort in staying unbound And spread the malady Hail, Chaos, Hail Hail, Chaos, Hail Hail, Chaos, Hail Hail, Chaos, Hail Spawn of Chaos sits inside your mind You've been infected, no longer strife For your longing of dissatisfaction You've been freed craving attention Spawn of Chaos sits inside your mind Soul-polluting your inner drive Of constant passive exploitation They call us the Legion of Chaos Malignant beings for valueing freedom Labelled by chained zombies
