Footsteps approach my cell Starvation would soon take me to hell Sustained life by a rat Perhaps my inmate helped with that Now we are face to face I'm suddenly afraid to leave this place Is he man or abomination? A demonic manifestation If I sell my soul to be freed Serve evil for eternity How can I refuse this offer? I'm only man, I starve for power The wicked join him to stand In allegiance to the fall of man By the grip of fear dare not turn Our choice is made, our fate to burn Make fortress in the west Preparing to slaughter all those who detest Superior weapons, we make our assault For choosing the wrong side, you soon will be at fault Our leader appointed me A figure of high authority Of life's truth I have been deprived Like the rabbit in my youth I failed to keep alive The dark one has offered to me A purpose I've always envied If I turn my throat will be slit Will this price I pay be worth it?

Wax Empire 05:07
World domination In the blink of an eye World domination When you gonna realize? Have you ever met that one stupid bitch you just wanna grab by the hair and say, Look me in the eyes, and tell me that I am real Give me a sense that I can finally feel Is this a question of insanity? Or is this my identity? We live in a wax empire A motherfuckin' wax empire Is this my identity? Our superficial way of living Is just a lie that you've been given We follow a fake path Down this sultry road, an empire of wax Brought down by the way we look Changes the perspective of our lives Follow the rest and you'll be fine While they dare you to step out of line Why on earth won't you please just shut up?

As we swim deeper into the void Our souls become cheaper when employed The light becomes darker as time draws near This life has its martyrs instilling fear Life is a choice, a choice of life With age the world seems much smaller With a conscience the order sits taller Sell your soul or simply die early The choice of life is clearer most surely Life is a choice, a choice of life Running in circles as fast as your strife Sell your soul for another few years To a brighter future with a hint of fear Life is a choice, a choice of life Burning your bridges as fast as your rights Purging in war, a country unfolds But no one shows mercy to the lives that it sold Restitution found within a breath A silence that sweeps from east to west Sovereignty is only a dying breed It shows when liberty is surfacing Life is a choice, a choice of life Squandering over years of silence Trying just to fulfill my promise To a country so mighty on the surface But takes its money to the furnace

Green Devin 05:07
Plug into the atmosphere Screwdrives through the flames Fire breaks my sole career As we go down in pieces Why' have to end like this? Fire through the flames So many things in life to consist So many things you'll miss My ship is burning Disintegrating This carnivorous planet is awakening How can we stop ourselves? How can we stop ourselves? Looks like we're in for a rude awakening Why can't we stop ourselves? Why can't we stop ourselves? Plummet to a certain death Or so it does seem We have seen most things beyond Your wildest dreams If we go, nobody will know What the future holds There's so much room out there to grow The earth has nothing to show Houston, this is the Green Devin. We are losing atmospheric pressure. I repeat: We are losing atmospheric pressure. Our protective shell is burning up. I repeat: Our protective shell is burning up. Oh God, there's some kind of malfunction in our controls. I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! Why can't we stop ourselves?

You cracked from all the rotten informalities Of the culture praising sexuality The money frees you, takes you where you want to be But in the process seizes your morality Facing your mentality For more than sexuality All the privacies that we adore Now nothing more than vintage Asian porn Censorship is said to rise When fear is cast into their eyes All the privacies that we adore Now nothing more than vintage Asian porn Facing your mentality For all your sexuality All the privacies that we adore Now nothing more than vintage Asian porn Falling into your mind Misrepresentation of your own kind

Tortuga 04:04
Pressure grasping on my neck Falling power enters my death Curse this noose around my neck Paying the price for what you have done Hatred, anger, witness, devour This is the end, the end of my life The end of my hate as I suffocate Thus I am a fool for giving you rule To the tyrant they call a king I drop to the floor, can't take it anymore My life is at the end of the rope They will not forsake the crimes they have done They're laughing and screaming, cause I'm done Envy fills my eyes with lust Tempted with power you thought to be yours Rubies stain my hands A fortune you thought to be in command Guilty, terror, freedom, never Dead men will tell their tales Their message is spread when their lives have failed The feeling of justice instilled A few of us suffer, the rest are killed Downward force my neck shall break Life to me is worthless and fake Lead by example or rule of thumb Will this end be quick and numb? Hatred, anger, freedom, never

I'm a victim no more than the crack pot Is to his addiction, her addiction These pixels form my social fiction The game is going on around me So hard to see And hard to breathe Following me But I sit picking the grass with my hook in my ass School's on Saturday, but I ain't got no class A tree in the forest contained in a box The roots are nourished, but the fruit seems to rot The containment is destroying an invisible link It looks perfect from here, but God, it stinks It's fun to pour the oil 'til the funnel's overflowed The components will erode, and the engine will explode Feast on abomination, you'll get fat Genetic modification, humans fed Can you hear the sound of the slaughter As they grind up the bones of mother nature's daughter? I could listen, but I'll disobey instead You won't believe the fuckin' shit I'm being fed A tree in the forest contained in a box The roots are nourished, but the fruit seems to rot The containment is destroying an invisible link It looks perfect from here in blood and ink Being pollinated's more like being stung Wiping with sandpaper as the shit fills your lungs I hold in my hand the final blade that cuts the thread There is no filter for the shit I'm being fed

As we speak our minds, but ignorance is blinding us A challenger rises, humanity or stupidity? A subject pawn, You dare to tell me why I'm wrong Escape your thoughts, Don't flaunt your fake philosophy When playing the game, there's no time to hesitate When playing with someone who cannot communicate This conversation is running in circles We have no more purpose, an uncommon goal Without education on what would seem logical, How will you realize you reap what you sew? When playing the game, there is no time to screw around When feeling the pain, you're in your mind And you hear the sound So why fight over something that cannot be solved? What about the perspective of it all? My, how the order is tall, Didn't think you'd have the gall You can't run only crawl, You'll get up and then you'll fall So why fight? Subject to the path of the argument Thoughts will go unsaid The fine line that lies between the thread n' Victory in your head Victory in your head

Contempt for the inquisition A lust for the other's position Retreat to breeding self annihilation Resentment of the general population Abandoned by self satisfaction Allied by hostile reaction Betrayed a deficit tactic All that's left is an anger-driven passion Holy fuckin' shit You know what? Sup? I'm fed up with watching all the money go to a fucking train wreck. Me too This industry's polluted by a legion of faggots. Faggots Completely unaware of where their roots lie. Fuckin' pussies Simply put: A legion of... Pollution by insecurity Content with no maturity I'll put you on blast bitch, you're stirring me Lines crossed, there's no deterring me Starvation without an interest You get up, but you swing, and then you miss Mouth sour from the poison that you kissed Vile venom from the snake when it hissed Undecided prosperity, Let me just tell you what that means to me Lazy motherfucker

Dead Culture 06:07
Sickness spawned from the earliest of man Century after century the fear of it still stands When humankind becomes infected by a sickness that makes it difficult to die Driven by instinct, the sick feast on the living In their minds dwell thoughts no more Faded dreams of life lived before No escape from what's inside All their thoughts of life subside A conversation piece fed on by the youth Fantasy or induction of the truth Virus, possession, a parasite No matter the cause the dead, they walk upright The only purpose in life is to survive this plague They've lost their sight, they walk upright We lost our sight, we walk upright
