Lividity

Now we see it's come to this
Undertakers prevalence in the perversion of the human essence
We've been conditioned to be heartless, empty and callous
Loving to gnaw at the throats of those that we claim to protect
Perfectly planned by our captors
Applied eugenics becomes a constant knee to your face
Riding headstrong into oblivion!
Overcome by feral genes and frigid reptilian brains
Enemies to us
With undying faith in the new human god
Thoughtless collective drives itself to extinction
Reek of death and plastic rot perfumes the air
Those aware are witness to
Radiated people with disintegrating lives
Emaciated men and women with the faces of ghosts
They stare into a barren distance with their deadened eyes
Seeking messiah and accepting slavery as rational compromise
Unless something is done soon our minds and spines will deteriorate
And the gift of life will be rapidly withering; succumbed to atrophy
A sick, twisted plot consumes your accursed future kin!
Sever the spirit from physical binding
Trapped in the grasp of a pentagram
Semantic webs spell our names in reality's cyclical grid
We transcend this meaningless suffering
Part ways with the world of the damned
But docile actions occur as lividity is preached
By a crippled race dying on its knees
Pain reigns in these final days and we still comply
Wake up! Please, wake up! WAKE UP! PLEASE, WAKE UP!!!!
I must sound the call to end this!
I must sound the call to wake the dead!

Vampirarchy

All of this insidious greed to which they abide
Wicked, divided, the species of man
Who serves no purpose other than a submissive underclass that eats itself alive
We don't deal in individuals, we deal in entire societies
And we suck them dry of all that gives them life
Surveilling with countless eyes
We have poisoned your minds
Left you weak; demoralized
You blindly step into our traps and we laugh as we toy with your lives
Out in the open domination wearing masks
Hiding subliminal messages with cryptic warnings that
In the coming days there will be a bloodletting ritual
With voluntary participation of the people of the earth
Who will smile as they die in sacrifice to a false god
See them coming now
Marching single file
Coming forth, the children of men gather into his fold
Accepting his glory into their hearts
Strike, O, lavish serpent!
Bend your grasp upon them
Invoke your presence, claim your place above all!
Domination of the masses!
Endless bloodshed and serfdom chains for those who are left
Gullible idiots, ugly and diseased
Agenda accomplished
And when they find out
It will already be too late
Outsource of nature
Leading to a two dimensional fate
We’ve built a well established throne
So glorious
Our tentacles reach unimaginable lengths
Filling the unused wrinkles in your brain
Providing endless distractions
Stamp out any attempt
To escape from this
Centuries in the workings
And all of you have done nothing
You must want to know the taste of dirt
Waging eternal war for a corrupted kingdom
Who will swallow all within its reach
You will all be living through it
In these endless years of tribulation
So breed for the bleeding

Look now how they all dance
To the tune of the morning star
A beacon of deceit
On the horizon of a changing world
Hearts and minds overindulged by a destructive sense of pride
As countless die
Out of sight, out of mind
Young man, you must not realize
You put your life on line to feed an old man’s greed
They live
Thrive
A pernicious form of idiocy
Brings us to our knees
And takes our dignity
Killing the innocent in our names
The crusader’s enterprise massacres with love as a pretense
Seemingly without end
Man will heedlessly kill for any ideal
Other than to ‘live and let live’
And look how the world is on fire now
Insisted that it’s rank and trophy that make a man
Whose casket is canonized as a savior
You obey a jealous God who will brook no rivals
Whose health is war
Aggressive Ideological Domination
The AID gifted to your neighbors
“Light ‘em up!”
Bringing on their ending
In violent disintegration
To dust from whence they came
Return to the earth as bullets rain
Disaster worship
Losing ourselves in an onslaught
That may never end
Look now how murder is justified
Someday when you’re disillusioned by your own deeds
You’ll live in misery
You will hear your victims screaming for mercy in your sleep
Forever echoing voices
Regret will replace your sense of honor
And guilt will shackle your every limb
As you descend into a personal hell
You’ll soon be haunted by dreams of your grandchildren
Who will suffer the consequence of your actions

Tribulation

A voracious and conceited evil entity
Presents its magnum opus performance piece
Of planned obsolescence
The blueprints run in the colors of
Every nations flag as a facade
to call itself everything its not
Hearts and homes
Shrink into something torn, pathetic, and sad
At revealing of idols the hourglass cracks
The countdown complete as the elite bring
The unification of control
Through cull and coup
A liars kingdom claim nature itself a state of terror
Feral in their eyes
Insisting on saving us from ourselves
Only at their command
does the world live or die
How does it feel to be forced to beg at the ruling sadists feet?
A wicked ghost machine that controls then disowns you
Keeping you running endlessly in its maze
Intensifying stress
Coldly, objectively viewed
Chasing sensation is a cheap trick
Biting at shadows on walls
Hope flies as a banner of an unobtainable goal
Only a concept of those born without it
Generation of fear
Takes what it's given and reaps all it sews
A government of storms
Infesting the sky to poison the light
It’s all happening
Hypnotized masses looking down as death looms above
What dreams will we come to chase
When wires replace whats left of our veins
As the sky fills with clouds in shapes of snakes
Forming a cage to keep us contained
And unlearn escape
The soil sweetened with the flesh of weakened indigenous
The heartless few walk high beside death forever
Glutton consumption of decaying loin of a ruined earth
A grand introduction at the sinking of dragons bay
Twisted horns of the undertaker glow
Over a series of chess boards
All men are pawns in this game
Even those labeled as kings
An illusive authority visible only as shadow
The silent knowing
Awaiting a strangers revolution to pardon them from slaughter
Executioner on standby laughing
Awaiting the end with no end in sight
The present is actively darkening
A permanent overcast with no rain or wind
A sustained supremacy reigns
Time stops and we all fall down
