Born in privilege, only to be forever cursed
Taunted and haunted by, the embryonicly incomplete
It tortures you in silence
Anxiety, your reality
Malignantly it mutters...
Things they only speak of in hell
Cannot escape the voice, in your head
It whispers atrocities, in your sleep
Slowly driving you insane
It seeks to take your life away
This Devil Twin, you won't let in, is taking over
The need for escape
23 years held captive by your own body which torments you daily
Deceptively, hiding its grim face from reality
The need for escape
23 years held captive by your own body which torments you daily
Deceptively, hiding its grim face from reality
- Mark solo -
Noble blood does not mean, a noble way of life
Taunted into submission, you pen your final goodbye
Can't stand the presence, of your Devil Twin
You order its immolation
Lest it continues its dreadful, whispering in your grave
Cannot escape the voice, in your head
It whispers atrocities, in your sleep
Slowly driving you insane
It seeks to take your life away
This Devil Twin, you won't let in, is taking over

The Scryer
04:38
|

- Ira Solo -
Fixated in a trance
Divination is at hand
Practicing arts condemned by the mass populace
Gazing into your reflection
Created by a luke warm liquid
The Scryer starts his mantra
As he departs from his husk
I am but an entity, dragging you down
Through the pits of Hell
The scripture is carried out
Desperately, disoriented, you frantically scramble
To pick up the pieces of your shattered past, but don’t cut your hands!
Never again will you innocently see the light of day
Now is the time for body and mind to finally part ways
To dabble with the unknown
And let your soul stray so far away from home
The occult is no place for your arrogant disposition
Overzealous aspirations has led you down a careless path
Now your soul has lost control
Engulfed by darkness, distress and despair
I am but an entity, dragging you down
Through the pits of Hell
The scripture is carried out
Desperately, disoriented, you frantically scramble
To pick up the pieces of your shattered past, but don’t cut your hands!
Never again will you innocently see the light of day
Now is the time for body and mind to finally part ways
- Ira solo -
Desperately, disoriented, you frantically scramble
To pick up the pieces of your shattered past, but don’t cut your hands!
Never again will you innocently see the light of day
Now is the time for body and mind to finally part ways
Predicting catastrophes
Millions of casualties, world disasters, part ways!
Possessed by the entity
Frightening humanity with your deviant tales

Shrapnel Baptized
08:31

- Brett solo -
Innocence denied, gone is any chance of a normal life
Things can’t be unseen, scars the developing mind
Taken from the care of home, forced to kill the ones you know and love
Trauma bred callous brings violence, brings hate, brings death!
- Ira solo -
Powers prey upon the weak
Forced to do unspeakable things
Leaders held to no accountability
Society has set a standard
Still questions are left unanswered
People want to know “Where could these children be?”
Powers prey upon the weak
Forced to do unspeakable things
Leaders held to no accountability
Society has set a standard
Still questions are left unanswered
People want to know “Where could these children be?”
They force the fight
On impressionable minds
Raised to hate
Desensitized
Torn away, from their purity
Stripped of all innocence
While cowards in power sit in luxury
Expendable young lives die
We all know something is not right
When the wolves hide in plain sight
- Ira solo -
Brainwashed and committed to the cause that destroyed their lives
Shattered is the splendor that they thought they knew
Malicious and twisted they have warped their feeble minds
The overwhelming feeling that you’re doomed
Drugged and desensitized a naïve mind
Raised in a war you’ve been Shrapnel Baptized
Twisted emotion contorted compassion
A struggle to re-patronize
- Ira solo -
- Layne guest solo -
Media shuts down any chance to shed some light
On the real situation and their torturous life
Learn to trust your captor and find safety in the pain
We’re all created equal, but not valued the same
Drugged and desensitized a naïve mind
Raised in a war you’ve been Shrapnel Baptized
Twisted emotion contorted compassion
A struggle to re-patronize

Ozonihilation
06:15
|

Carelessly we go about like any other day
Ignorance, pollute the Earth; yet don’t accept your fate
All warning signs they try to hide from public eye you can’t deny
Enslave the population
There is no other way
The bloodline must stay unscathed
At any cost; the divine plague
This way of life is too far gone
We now will never change
In detrimental bliss we live
Afraid to bring out change
Our stable lives; enslaved to die
None can hide behind the veil of lies
Our stable lives; enslaved to die
None can hide behind the veil of lies
- Mark solo -
Enslave the population
There is no other way
The bloodline must stay unscathed
At any cost; the divine plague
Ozonihilation
Planned planet deconstruction while the elite hide
The populace accepts fate
Without questioning who orchestrates it
World wide corporations
All working for the same goal;
Enslave the population
Ozonihilation
Only the rich live on
Buy their way to salvation
With a processed, manufactured way of life
Buy their way to salvation
With a processed, manufactured way of life
- Brett solo -
- Mark solo -
Mass suffocation around the globe
Panic ensues as terror unfolds
No escape for the general population
Watch as their loved ones choke and die
All will perish before the day is done
We brought this upon ourselves
Taken for granted life in itself
We thought we were untouchable
Like sanctioned by a divine plan
Careless, ruthless, we ran the planet fucking dry

- Mark solo -
We are victims of eternal damnation
Targets of infernal demise
Damned to walk
A living hell
Walk the earth
Your final prize is to rot in dirt
- Ira solo -
When we are forsaken
Forgotten and left to die
Nothing will matter
Currency is a lie
Fabricated for man to control
Because power is what we truly strive
Conforming ourselves
Molding our minds
Your morals are false
But that’s justified?
Sick of your malevolent ways
A Brainwashed Civilization has emerged
From the sadistic intent
To rule over all man
Is it a crime to breathe?
If I do not own the air
Is it a crime to be free?
Punishable by death
Is it a crime to breathe?
If I do not own the air
Is it a crime to be free?
Punishable by death

Sick of your malevolent ways
A Brainwashed Civilization has emerged
From the sadistic intent
To rule over all man
Is it a crime to breathe?
If I do not own the air
Do we own this land?
Yes
Or does it own us?
Is it a crime to breathe?
If I do not own the air
Is it a crime to be free?
Yes
Punishable by death
Living in fear
A constant “What if”?
But when it’s over you’re left with regret
I will not blindly follow ways
Because others do the same...
