Protect and Serve
03:33

Protect us all, serve us all
Protect us all, serve us all
You think you're above the law, i say get down
You and your authority mean nothing now
What can you hear over sirens?
What do you see through your gun sight?
You promised to protect and serve
You promised to protect and serve
Protect us all, serve us all
Protect us all, serve us all
Your war's not with drugs, it's with groups who use
As if you don't indulge when you're off the clock
We keep giving weapons to those that abuse them
What do you do when no one is watching?
What can you hear over sirens?
What do you see through your gun sight?
You promised to protect and serve
You promised to protect and serve
You're at best complicit in mass incarceration
You'll slaughter a child and get paid vacation
What do you do when no one is watching?
What do you do when no one is watching?
What do you do when no one is watching?
What do you do when no one is watching?

Diana The Huntress
04:06
|

Light hair shimmers, her disguise complete
Ready to deliver a city driver's fate
Point blank, don't move, hands on the steering wheel
Point made, not yet, she'll find another one
A mother in the back finds it easier to breathe
The driver's lost his power, this woman has him beat
Point blank, don't move, hands on the steering wheel
Point made, not yet, she'll get their respect
"Passengers," she says,
"I would look away, you don't want to see this
Passengers, look away"
His hands tremble, his will and body weak
Is this what all the women felt when he was in her place?
Point blank, don't move, hands on the steering wheel
Point made, not yet, she'll find another one
"Passengers," she says,
"I would run away, you don't want to be here
Passengers, run away"
"I will avenge, I'm an instrument
I will avenge, I'm an instrument
For 370 girls slain,
Bodies found in shallow graves"
Diana the Huntress
Diana the Huntress
Diana the Huntress
Diana the Huntress
"I will avenge, I'm an instrument
I will avenge, I'm an instrument
370 girls slain,
Bodies found in shallow graves"
Diana the Huntress
Diana the Huntress
Diana the Huntress
Diana will hunt you

A deep fate line
Your path is straight
It's been defined
All choices empty
But with my gift my dear
I'll lend my sight, just once
And when you go from here
At least you'll be prepared!
All at a cost
This knowledge is priceless
I will tell you everything
Everything you want to hear
I will tell you everything
Come put your heart on the line
I will tell you anything
Anything you want to hear
I will tell you anything
Come put your life on the line
The sun is broken here
Your trauma's yet to come
And look, the signs are clear
I know you better than you know
Yourself! You know! It's out of your control!
See it, right here, this sign from Apollo
You wish to escape the hand you were given
There's a small chance and I can show you
All at a cost
This knowledge is priceless
I will tell you everything
Everything you want to hear
I will tell you everything
Come put your heart on the line
I will tell you anything
Anything you want to hear
I will tell you anything
Come put your life on the line

Bringer Of Death
04:15
|
|||
I stand with my feet planted on the graves of my enemies
Armies of fools led astray
Turned their backs on gods, sided with demons
I am the price they must pay
A garland of heads adorns my neck
Faces froze in abject fear
Of my eyes, wild with blood lust
Armed with blade, noose, and spear
I am Kali, bringer of death
Creation from destruction, so life can spring again
I am Kali, fury made flesh
Shakti of Shiva, slayer of gods and men
I am Kali, bringer of death
Creation from destruction, so life can spring again
I am Kali, fury made flesh
Shakti of Shiva, slayer of gods and men
The blood on my tongue flows from the severed heads
By the two bladed sword of truth
The law is that all will fall
Find release in black arms of death
Beg me to flense corruption
Excise the misery that plagues
Don't ask forgiveness or redemption
I only offer annihilation
I am Kali, bringer of death
Creation from destruction, so life can spring again
I am Kali, fury made flesh
Shakti of Shiva, slayer of gods and men
I am Kali, bringer of death
Creation from destruction, so life can spring again
I am Kali, fury made flesh
Shakti of Shiva, slayer of gods and men
Praise my name
Praise my name
Praise my name
Praise my name and die before me
Praise my name
Praise my name and die before me
Praise my name
Praise my name and die before me
Praise my name
Praise my name and die before me
Praise my name
Praise my name and die before me
I am Kali, bringer of death
Creation from destruction, so life can spring again
I am Kali, fury made flesh
Shakti of Shiva, slayer of gods and men
I am Kali, bringer of death
Creation from destruction, so life can spring again
I am Kali, fury made flesh
Shakti of Shiva, slayer of gods and men

Suffocate Eternal
04:36
|
|||
In the depths of despair, where darkness prevails
A suffocating grip, where all hope fails
Eternal torment, relentless embrace, we dwell in this space
In this eternal darkness, we writhe and writhe
Our lungs collapse, suffocate the light, condemn us to this fate
Through the depths of suffering, we find our release
Embracing the darkness, our soul finds peace
In this eternal suffocation, we transcend
A catharsis of agony where torment knows no end
Suffocate eternal, the air we cannot breathe
Lost in the abyss where pain we shall conceive
Our souls gasping for release, a desperate plea
In this grim symphony, the sound of our decree
Suffocate eternal, the anthem of our demise
In this realm of despair, our spirit never dies
Asphyxiation's grip, forever we'll embrace
In eternal suffocation, we'll find our place
In this eternal darkness, we writhe and writhe
Our lungs collapse, suffocate the light, condemn us to this fate
Through the depths of suffering, we find our release
Embracing the darkness, our soul finds peace
In eternal suffocation, we transcend
A catharsis of agony where torment knows no end
Suffocate eternal, the anthem of our demise
Suffocate eternal, the anthem of our demise
Suffocate eternal
Suffocate eternal

Gold Plated Pervert
01:18
|
|||
Cruelty, domination
Abject humiliation
Dignity subversion
Focus of perversion
Lust twisted to hate
Obedience to curate
Feeding frail ego
And flaccid libido
The gold-plated pervert
Sits on a throne excess
Thoroughly spoiled rotten
By life of affluence
Far removed from normalcy
Morals are meaningless
Debased, poisoned, and broken
An empty shell
No justice for the used
No justice for the abused
Abandonded battered and bruised
The cycle still continues
I wish I had been there
To tie the noose
To make you scream and suffer
To hear you beg and blubber
Death was too good for you

Bleeding Ear
04:11
|
|||
Running through dark hallways
Seeking refuge from the storm
Destination nowhere. It does not exist
Echoing rhetoric, unleashing vile torment
The chains of my past are a portrait
A subtle distinction of life exists
Ambushing me
Caught unaware
Blindsided by
Simmering emotions boiling over
We can't find the common ground
Crawling under ashes of a life not found
The clamor is deafening, I can't hear
The clamor is deafening, I can't hear
Cacophony
Bleeding in my ear
Pandemonium
Bleeding in my ear
Endless chatter of meaningless babble
Our broken trust is festering disgust
You're always talking but not saying anything
I'm always hearing but I've stopped listening

Set Adrift
04:47
|

Go! I don't know how
Somehow I have lost my way
Disconnected! Nothing to hold
No light to guide me I can see
Go! I slip out of my skin
My soul will slowly float away
Disconnected! A broken rope
With no anchor, I drift
An empty house is not a home, not a home
An empty house is not a home, not a home
I've been set adrift
I've been cast aside
I'm left here with nothing
Left here as nothing
I've been set adrift
I've been cast aside
I'm left here with nothing
Left here as nothing
Hell! is sifting through
The ashes of your broken dreams
Abandoned by the only one
Who made you think you had a place
Hell! is the voice that screams
"You will always be this way"
Abandoned! Her vows meant shit!
Promise undone, I drift
An empty house is not a home, not a home
An empty house is not a home, not a home
I've been set adrift
I've been cast aside
I'm left here with nothing
Left here as nothing
I've been set adrift
I've been cast aside
I'm left here with nothing
Left here as nothing
I'm taunted by these walls, beige and barren like
The vast desert I left my old life for
We never made this place look like anyone's
She was my home and I hers
Now I have rooms of possessions
But among them all, not a single belonging
Nothing holds me, here or anywhere
Everything all just feels the same!
I can feel lost and just waste away or
Can accept that this is my freedom!
I can live, I can live in color
I'm keeping me here
I may forget
But I'll never forgive

Caged

As I wake, sun on my face
I feel the restraint tightened grip
Scratching, screaming, suffocating
I hear the chains creeping
Captivity seems imminent
Walls crash on me, they close in around me
Caged in my soul, dark memories calling
Caged with insecurities I can not flee
Caged with a plague that knows no freedom
I lie still and focus ahead
My eyes, wide open, see nothing
Stunted, stagnant, breathing stale air
Every day is like the last
Monotony will crush your soul
Walls crash on me, they close in around me
Caged in my soul, dark memories calling
Caged with insecurities I can not flee
Caged with a plague that knows no freedom
Caged - dreams fade inside me
Caged - lies told to spite me
Caged - life lost around me
Caged, will I escape my madness?
I lie still and focus ahead
My eyes, wide open, see nothing
Stunted, stagnant, breathing stale air
Every day is like the last
Monotony will crush your soul!
Caged!

For All The Parasites
04:04
|
|||
Exploitation, I dared to dream
Foolish hope, naivete
Helping hands pick my pocket
I'm a resource, open wallet
Extraction, it's only fair
All for you and none for me
Take all you want, feeding frenzy
Watch your back 'cause nothing's free
For all the parasites
Fuck you
I've learned your tricks, I've learned your game
Smiles are lies, you're all the same
Fed me bullshit to keep me here
Tethered to you, commodified
I paid my dues and you don't care
You can sell my sweat and tears
Just remember, you kill the host
It's the moochers that feel it most
For all the parasites
Fuck you
Tap into a vein
Sink your teeth in
Enjoy what was mine
While you bleed me dry
Tap into a vein
Sink your teeth in
Enjoy what was mine
While you bleed me dry
Pile on you maggots
Swarm
It's time to feed
Tap into a vein
Sink your teeth in
Enjoy what was mine
While you bleed me dry
Tap into a vein
Sink your teeth in
Enjoy what was mine
While you bleed me dry
Scavengers
Blood suckers
Buzzards
Vultures
Crows
And jackals
Pick me clean!
