1. Rancid Whore Tied to a Bedpost with Barbed Wire and Covered in Battery Acid
Drop dead, bitch
The camera pans to rope and barbed wire covered with the color of crimson
Maggot-infested mattress where you are bound and gagged
Forced face down
Slowly growing puddle of blood that is steadily dripping...
Receive a cleansing from all of your sins
In a dirty room that's barely lit
Bleed! No one is around to hear you scream
Bleed! No one is around to hear you scream
Shut the whore up, Sew her mouth shut, Blade graze the skin, On your knees--worship me
Shut the whore up, Sew her mouth shut, Blade graze the skin, On your knees--worship me
Shut the whore up, Sew her mouth shut, Blade graze the skin, On your knees--worship me
Shut the whore up, Sew her mouth shut, Blade graze the skin, On your knees--worship me
You will endure this unique torture
Very sick and twisted
It will slow to a fatal ending
You will endure this very intense death
Then splashes of battery acid melt your skin away
Untraceable remains of you, you knew you were going to lose
I will enjoy this. I will--ENJOY!
Drop dead, bitch
The sign of your bloody remains splattered on the wall
Drop dead, bitch
The smell of burning flesh is overwhelming the air
Drop dead, bitch
The fact that no one will ever possibly find you
Drop dead, bitch
2. Pray for the Living, Envy the Dead
Force fed, Mislead, More dead, We're next
What they should've done was shoot the fucker in the head
No seatbelt and we are spinning out of control
Catastrophic as we watch the rising death toll
Manmade disease made by our own airborne,
Blood borne, sold for war zone
Now that you know you should keep your fucking mouth shut
Double standard, either way, your fucking throat's cut
Why bother asking when your voice is fucking silenced?
Assassination for unnecessary violence
Anticipation for the aftermath
Or will it never end?
Anticipation for the aftermath
Or will it never end?
Anticipation for the aftermath
Or will it never end?
I am all ears
I am all eyes
I am still mind
I am all yours 'til death
I am all ears
I am all eyes
I am still mind
I am all yours 'til death
3. Coffin Birth
Headlong to death, grave made of flesh
Blue in the womb, infinite doom
God help me now, I can't help what I've become
God save them now, I can't help what they've become
So end this now before it even begins
Destroy all life before it takes its first breath
Murdering...
Some things are just left unsaid
There is just no love left
It is so concerning to know your life will be ending
The beauty lies within the brutality of a premature drowning
Why are you convusling and seizuring some damn violently?
Don't fight this
Relax and breathe, let your death come on naturally
The beauty lies within the brutality of a premature drowning
Don't fight this
Relax and bleed, let the death come so natuarally
I can feel your pulse is stopping
As I feel my own pulse pounding
As I killed them, Should I let 'em die slow?
Ruined
I ruined you
4. Stress the Violence
This is ugly face of truth
You get a fortune, all it says is, "Fuck you"
And the stress has razor-sharp claws
Needle-thin, injected into the veins
Complicated human circuitry
Something untune, I could never see
Infultrates the heart, Deteriorates the mind
No choices left, sporacity is blind
Overflowing hate for any specimen
Categorized as humankind
And then you tear it down--make it stop
Then you tear it down--make it stop
Come on
See the violence everyday, Capitalizing on the pain
They won't stop, 'til we bleed
This song's for everybody
Feel the violence in the air
See the violence on TV
Most of them are just 18
They're dying for this country
New America is not safe
When a rockstar is killed on stage
Murders happen everyday
Your death is just a breath away
You try to make it stop, But it only grows
Try to make it stop--what we need is more
Violence in here
Spare nobody's life in the crowd
Fists fly, noses break
Bodies stacked on top of bodies
Teeth shatter, LImbs break
Nobody's leaving with their worthless life
Puncture-wound fest
Push and shove 'til the room is filled with blood
You're not safe in your home
You're not safe at a show
You're not safe in your state
In this country filled with hate
5. Rag Full of Ether
Irrigation of my hatred, Smells so sweet just like the ether
Crouched and still within the shadows
My sights set on your blindside
You don't get it, You don't get it, You don't get it, You don't get it, You don't get it, You don't get it
Do you feel this? You won't feel this. Do you feel this? You won't feel again
You pass out from inhalation
Fully subdued from the intense
Fumes patient and calm within
The shadows of my revenge unfolds on your blindside
You don't get it, You don't get it, You don't get it, You don't get it, You don't get it, You don't get it
Do you feel this? You won't feel this. Do you feel this? You won't feel again
Tying the tourniquet tight to stop you from all loss of blood
Puncture your throat, waving the salt
Just to wait to watch you...
To watch you wake with a knife in your throat
As you lay there and bleed, My project is complete
As you lay there and bleed, My art is released
As you lay there and bleed, My project is complete
As you lay there and bleed, My art is released
6. Guilt with a Hammer
Become a liar, you'll fall
Look back at the night, Realize you fell
You hit the ground, broke your back
But you couldn't tell
Now it is time to look back at life and realize it's time to move on
No doubt in sight, Claiming your life
Realize when you're gone
Rise to the top, Don't expect to fall
Prejudge your life, You're not fooling them all
Rise to the top, Don't expect any help
And I know it is not my fault
And I know it is not my fault
And I know it is not my fault
And I know it is not my fault
And so she wanted it, and so she bled
And so she wanted it, and so she bled
And so she wanted it, and so she bled
And so she wanted it, and she bled
Guilt with a hammer, An effigy of failure
Guilt with a hammer, An effigy of failure
7. Impossible Art of Levitation
Think about it forever, The end result is never
Think about it forever, The end result is never
Have you ever even tried it?
Have you ever even tried it?
Have you ever even tried it?
Have you ever even tried it?
Morally, a metaphoric "High as Hell" location
Standing up to fall back down, constant repeat equation
Therics tested, re-releasing all my damned frustrations
Mind control right along with public intoxication
Your chances are better, now than ever
Your chances are better, now than ever
An empty room--a blank page to re-write myself
Explain this wealth of my addictions
You cannot choose it, it only chooses you--and you will lose every time
You cannot choose it, it only chooses you--and you will lose every time
You cannot choose it, it only chooses you--and you will lose every time
You cannot choose it, it only chooses you--and you will lose every time
You cannot choose it, it only chooses you--and you will lose every time
8. Assassination Will Save This Nation
One day, your fucking reign will end--we will prevail
Too long that you have fucked us over--your life will end
This is your voice of reason
It's telling me to kill
Erase you and your inhumane ethics--no more
Your greed will fucking catch up with you--you'll bleed for us
Escape the threat of dictatorship
Kill you. End it all. End this mess.
Assassinate all of our fears
Assassinate all of our fears
Assassinate all of our fears
Assassinate all of our fears
Someday, someone is gonna put you into your place--your grave
Someday, someone is gonna put you into your place--your grave
Pray for it! Pray for it! Pray for it! Pray for it!
Someday, someone is gonna put you into your place--your grave
Someday, someone is gonna put you into your place--your grave
Pray for it! Pray for it! Pray for it! Pray for it!
Pray for it! Pray for it! Pray for it! Redemption!
The only way to survive, It's every man for himself
Or is that not what you have taught us?
It's the new world you've made that will kill you
Killing you, Killing you, Killing you, Killing you
