1.
Starving for global democracy, Garnishing a fabricated safety, Everyone is so quick to adhere to.  Captivated by deceit, Utilizing a preconceived fear as a tool for constriction.  Run for the hills, Its every man for themselves as the serpents are sent after you.  Surrender, Surrender before the toxin spreads.  Disconnect, Disconnect to save yourself - disconnect from myself.  As the pillars supporting your existence crumble and fall all around you,  Men, women, and children of the lower standard will suffocate to death, They are long forgotten before any man could excavate the remains.

Destitution 02:08
As the hailing rain cleanses the Earth of this immoral slaughter, Women and children are being raped and wounded, Struck down by the hands of evil. They lost their lives protecting one of their own, Loathe and behold a man devoid of innocence - thats been broken. The remnants of distant travesties erased by the construction of new eras, Men and priests are shot and humiliated, As they are laid to rest face down and burned alive. Ancient societies destroyed by the hands of their own, In order to conceal the secrets as the dead reveal their lies.
3.
Building new civilizations at the expense of their lives, This isn't war - it was sacrifice, It was not death by hanging - it was suicide, This is not a protest, This is a request for you to hang the bastards. Losing contactl with the world, You fought so desparately for control, And now we're left for the vultures to pick the flesh from our bones. Blindness remedied by the unveiling of your deception, Lacking the ability to ration their strength while clawing at the walls in desperation, They are hopeless. Surrendering our arms, As we relinquish all control to the enemy once again.
4.
Deceiver, How does it feel to know I pull the strings, To know I am no longer compelled to your beck and call. If reap what you sow is the message, Then your neglectful actions have made you into a hypocrite. Call me a wrecker for destroying the bonds,  Call me a nihilist for bearing the knowledge,  Call me manic while biting at the hands. As you live your life of uncertainty, I will carve canyons in the path that will proceed me. Starving in a race for the cure, This madness will never recede me.
5.
Labrat 02:01
With our immunities wearing thin, The desire to cure the ailments begin to take shape. In a form smaller than our teeth and nails, We have grown to be paranoid and psychologically addicted. The men in white have manipulated a generation, Forcing man to fall - to there knees abandoning their will. A cure to surrender their minds beneath the blindfolds, Of this new consumerism breeding waves of cattle. Make your curious incision on my polluted heart, To uncover the evil manifested within my mind. With our hands raised to god, I plan to turn your world upside down.
6.
The Altar 01:53
After years of deprivation, I am callous and unyielding in the face of death. When the music stops obedient lambs are offered for the communal sacrifice, Decimate the remains as we conceal the truth. With our eyes sewn shut, We're left to wander against the forces unknown. We listen with our ears to the ground like the natives to her land,  As we lift our hands to the air, Palms up unsheathing empty hands, We'll commence this protest. Slicing open their necks, The blood will rain [over the altar of sacrifice.]
