1.
Young hearts buried in falling sand Heavy hangs the head As this road stretches our spirits thin with engine lungs forever failing Out running poverty with you Out running loneliness with you May death find us well May it's locust breath caress your cheek like old lovers do How the absence of grace has stolen my youth Drained you dry in the rip tide of crashing cars A scar for every heart No shelter from the rising sea No savior for the children of slum city Think of me as the wreckage And our great nostalgia, the roaring ambulance Outrunning forever
2.
Grasping for withered hope To this poison love we all cling False mercy Death in bloom Opportunistic vultures Bones of workers picked clean Torch wielders Street sweepers War promise Burning down the night I will hold you with molten arms Look upon you with eyes of matted tar You tremble with fear at your creation It’s shadow spills over like an army of starving kids in the trench I will give them weapons I will send them against you
3.
Shining Path 01:03
The street fire burns through the night The sunrise slaughters Another martyr sent toward the light They slowly suffer Hammers upon a canvas of sand Where the snow pierced sky meets the melancholy of the vast wasteland Farther than any tearless eye could see How the turbines seem to only dance for me and my dreams Sick of the hell and heartache Throbbing dull within Their Heads upon the butcher’s block Hatred chasm of low born stock As the cruel sun beats down Another fucking child will drown How The third world pays for my sins They will dream And they will sing of some day coming While toiling waste deep Throw your bombs Justice send forth the storm Rise against the first world
4.
I rise as berserker By darkness radicalized By loss made wild and blood drunk To tear down democracy with a brickbat To slit the throat of the plutocrat Society is fucked and no one’s got the fix Snuff you out for just one more hit Lost within the paradigm Day to day asinine One fuck up away from ruin The only way out: this gun in my mouth Fuck cynicism Fuck nihilism Searching for heaven in the books I read Disease of greed, weigh my love down no more The path before you made clear and bright By acts of iron will and iron fist
5.
These days are fucking fury Burning desperation laid writhing on the slab Our souls ablaze in sonic monument In hatred of this failed nation Clinging to withered branches You worship crowned skulls Crushing those that built your world The most vulnerable exiled to thirst Weeping infants screaming for mother’s milk long soured It was rage that gave my sorrow wings Clenching teeth and blood shot eyes Who are you Who am I You’re the rat that I despise I’m a crazy motherfucker and I’m ready to die Bleeding streets and burning skies Down the blade through the night Leave the bastards where they lie Coming for you motherfucker, hope you’re ready to fry Ready to die Every new era is painted with fire Every Phoenix born in ash
6.
Tank Reaper 01:55
I can see right through you Your weakness is a weapon Weep for me Wail for me Honor me, imperial slave Burnt black eagles prey in the night Sleep with me in the canebrake Your pain will rage Wash my feet in your sacred river I’ll take you with me Enemy of my homeland The perfect vermin Dominate you with my faith You belong in the dirt They carry the cross They won’t waste time in the reaping Your face turned red with blood Slipping, crawling Beneath their boots, your grave They spin their influence with venom and roses Still can’t decipher all the lies that they told us Here in the valley where we worship the rich They play with power as we walk with our caskets No absolution No saving my soul Jesus can’t see us with eyes made of gold Here this, tank reaper Child killer, I will never bend my knee again There’s no forgiving Bite the hand that feeds Come give it to me now The empire must bleed
7.
I see you, specter Ghost in the corner You haunt me like old tombs Like unread tomes of the western world Behold another war zone, another genocide Their blood nurtures the root of the devil’s vine Pierced through their martyr’s ribs Through burning trenches of shit My black rose grows across the bayonet These are the hands that bear the hive The burden of knowing
8.
Thorn Palace 03:23
Thorn Palace Upon ancient steps Where civilization once ascended and took it’s final breath I felt my soul decay Crumbling like the elder vines spreading razors through poisoned veins Another bearer of the mark of Kane bones grow weak and muscles ache I watched my reflection become grey and turn to ash upon the staircase A Blink in the abyss of time Dragging agony through epochs That colossal wreck buried far way Our grand ego decayed beneath the burning waves But it was our life The world we couldn’t save Parthenon crumbles as desert takes the sea Withered Reichstag, barren and bleak The seed grows as the void swallows whole Thorn Palace, the fallen have sowed I saw where their hearts were fed and where I would soon join them The cold smashed faces that mocked them staring lifeless at leveled sand Thorn Palace
9.
The jewel of the devil’s crown Who’s throne rests in the pine barren of hell’s hanging garden Gazing up at Appalachia Sliding like a diamond back down the Gulf of Mexico I stripped my skin in New Orleans Waist deep in the insane Puking up death as the southern wind howls And when the whiskey and the drugs run out I gotta carry that weight back home Child of nowhere Born with nothing Behind I hear the iron bars banging You won’t resurrect those slavery chains We’ll fucking stop you Just let the old world rot with them goddamn grays My fucking Dixie Never gonna change Until I curse my name Tear down every statue New south gonna rise Class conscious With the demon in their eyes Gonna take you down Breath life Another fucking fight tonight My fucking Dixie Sliding like a diamond back down...
10.
My lover is straight razor The only one that calls in the darkness I love her Sweet hell raiser Nothing else can stand in the tidal wave Heavy days of lead rain fall down like missiles on The West Bank Can you feel your heart sink Another dead kid ‘cross the LCD They drag the bottom again It could be yours floating face down They drag the bottom again It could be yours feeding infinite war My lover is straight razor The only one that crawls through my conscience I want her Call her my hell raiser Who will stand against the morning when the stars of God fall ...And they fall forever Drag you down to my level
11.
You and I hand in hand in the mushroom cloud Breath deep this venom atomic Close your eyes and remember our love as it once was Our dreams of a yard and a home filled with art One last kiss as the sudden rush hits you Fear not, dear Its just my spirit passing through Our teardrops sear across blackened skulls like shooting stars Our embrace evaporates and falls away like shattered glass
12.
Death to the game Down til the grave No fucking slave Bathe in the flame of the furious movement I tried but I can’t thrive in their neo liberal hell Cant you hear the snap of worn bones echo through the bowels of the capital Remember what you owe Your blood Your labor Your life To your god Your nation Tear down these halls that cretins clad in blood stained gowns built from stolen labor of calloused hands Reap what you sow Sink like a stone Men who shield their eyes and ears and clench their fists at those that behold not in awe but in criticism of the cracks in the holy throne Reap what you sow Sink like a fucking stone 1234... Utopia shall fall Like the pedophiles of Rome Weight of your murder comes crashing, fucker Dragged through hell I’ll dress her wounds She lies by the dying light on the western shore Killers gather in her shadow Reap what you sow Sink like a stone
13.
She dreams As she waits for me This road is too buried to pass Solemnly, the specter drifts through walls into my room Taken by sorrow’s grip My soul burns as I bark at the moon She dreams As she waits for me...
14.
In my dreams the empire falls under a napalm shadow The carrion call of nuclear winter rings in my eager ears Ash like snow stains heaven’s tarnished gates Above the entrance of a smoldering kingdom My love raised as high as God nailed upon the cross On mighty blood wings Her crown adorned with the heads of priests, aristocrats, and oligarchs Failed sons of lacerated sky Incestuous rulers of ruin Our great utopia of putrid democracy We rage at it’s true face and smile as it’s death rattle shakes the earth Mighty colossus of eternal wreckage stretched a thousand miles into the boiling sea And then I wake Eyes forced to look upon reality My heart is filled with fear Meth town Where I live there’s no chance No future for these fucking kids No hope Only pills Check by check Day by day to the fucking grave The air is thick Can’t catch my breath The heat dancing like devils on the pavement I’m sorry, mama I swear I’ll save you yet Nine to five Blood and sweat Nothing left I long for her to crawl down from the cross Rest my weary head upon her chest Somewhere inside I must be loved Take me in your arms Turn my flesh to Steele My mind to super nova My heart to stone Eyes forever fixed toward your light Saint of revolution and revenge Angel of assassination
