God Complex 02:48
lyrics

You can't play me You know life is a fucked up game You can't see me Fill your banks up with pocket change I hate seeing Every ounce of sweat on your brow I won't release Until I see the sweat turning red Money talks Enslaves, butchers, and bleeds It's not complex This God made up of our greed Slave for what you need In a world full of broken dreams Scrape up what you can For an ounce of this reality No prayers for the meek With social security beckoning For every bit of your Open and visible privacy Money talks Enslaves, butchers, and bleeds It's not complex This God made up of our greed Money talks Money talks Money talks Enslaves, butchers, and bleeds It's not complex This God made up of our greed I'm no God I'm a corporate penalty Green and red The colors our nation bleeds Money talks

Made of Stone 04:03
lyrics
buy track
The only way I know To survive an unknown road Is to mask the things that I've shown and to be the man made of stone We will not hesitate To take your words away I will not hesitate To take your life away In these days of cowards The wrong are glory showered In terms to make a good man bleed They often play the victim falsely We will not hesitate To take freedom away They will not hesitate To take my will away The era of the blind These are darkened times Obscure indifferences Upon a picket fence They protest in resistance To all that's made us whole And still they have the nerve to burn the place they call home So now I ask you Can you see it too? To strip indepenedence From folks like me and you We will not hesitate To take freedom away They will not hesitate To take my will away The era of the blind These are darkened times Obscure indifferences Upon a picket fence They protest in resistance To all that's made us whole And still they have the nerve to burn the place they call home To mask the things that I've shown To be the man made of stone

Waste 04:42
lyrics

Let me introduce myself I am the one who looks out for all else And even though it might seem false to you My actions are what bleeds the truth All I've done and all I've been through All this shit I did for you A waste of time A waste of effort Go to Hell as I did for you I am the one to take the fall When all else fails and you've lost it all But you can't see what I have done And realize when there are none All I've done and all I've been through All this shit I did for you A waste of time A waste of effort Go to Hell as I did for you A waste of time A waste of effort Go to Hell as I did for you, bitch The people that you idolized and still to me you demonize Waste every second of my life to be a creature in your eyes Go to Hell Go to Hell Go to Hell All I've done and all I've been through All this shit I did for you A waste of time A waste of effort Go to Hell as I did for you Go to Hell

You Don't Know Jack 03:10
lyrics

Hell or high water, I will find you You can't hide what I can find Deep inside my twisted mind I ponder with a twisted smile They call me Ripper Jack, that is You have no concept of what true terror is I find the wicked Released for profit Opening new business With other wounds that I rip I find the sickened Red lights for profit In sinful ways they can't justify They call my Ripper Jack, that is You have no concept of what true terror is You won't find me As you hear the screams These wretched whores deserve what I give Can't deny me Yet you can't find me here In the dreary streets of London They call me Ripper Jack, that is You have no concept of what true terror is They call me Ripper Jack, that is You have no concept of what true terror is

Sinner 03:21
lyrics

Place your bets and take a roll of these dice it's a sinner's game tonight Hold your glass and take the pill Please the flesh The sinner's thrill ignites I walk a path that many tread But I'm aware of the target on my head From demons that I've manufactured They all run beneath my skin The drinks, the drugs, and I'm a bastard I'm a sinner, I can't deny it I'm a sinner, and I won't fight it I'm a sinner, can't justify it I'm a sinner, why don't you try it Hot feet and a cold sweat Dive down and hold my breath I feel impending death and I have no last bets I keep my thrills inside Until I start to fly Hot lead and a cold sweat I feel impending death I walk a path that many tread But I'm aware of the target on my head From demons that I've manufactured They all run beneath my skin The drinks, the drugs, and I'm a bastard I'm a sinner, I can't deny it I'm a sinner, and I won't fight it I'm a sinner, can't justify it I'm a sinner, why don't you try it

The Grey Matter 04:16
lyrics

They make a claim That there's no on inside They make a claim That they just can't justify So many lies Pave the way for the injustice Between the lines They weave corrosive thread It's not a matter of what you think It's a matter in the grey Conspiracies arise It's in the grey matter They take away all the proof that lies behind All the crime, all the guilt Yet they despise Committing patients to a padded room (I hear it in my head) For understanding all of these lies It's not a matter of what you think It's a matter in the grey Conspiracies arise It's in the grey matter When will we learn to fight about our civil rights? When will we vilify the arrogant and the sly? I have no words to say (or they'll take my life away) A coffin silhouette They were both shot in the head

The Viscera Enigma 06:51
lyrics
buy track
Young men await the trial A battered, war torn isle No branch of peace today How many will we slay? The price of peace is blood but why spill mine when it floods? Every grain of sand it saturates This is why I hate Boats align with the tide Waves of men now take the sand Splashing waves Upon the shore of young men's flesh The blood and gore Screams align the blackened sky As bodies fall and bullets fly Come now and take my hand on a foreign land Death's reach is outstretched As they breathe their final breath Upon the ridge they spray MGs from Hell await Shredding our brothers here That only raises fear Boats align with the tide Waves of men now take the sand Splashing waves Upon the shore of young men's flesh The blood and gore A freight train straight to Hell But in this book I tell my tale No plan, just storm the beach Not men, just bodies This kid is still so young Now he rots in the sun Breed hate and kill their souls The meddle of metal men One day, the sun will rise An image of blood red tides Boats align with the tide Waves of men now take the sand Splashing waves Upon the shore of young men's flesh The blood and gore Screams align the blackened sky As bodies fall and bullets fly

Every time I look into your eyes I see something pitiful Every time I walk away I remember all your lies Feel the weight come down on you Something about this place Reminds me of all I hate about you Hold me down I'm falling from you now Wanna see the terror written on your face Every time I think bout the pain I wait til it bleeds you Every time you turn away I hope to watch you drown Feel the weight come down on you Something about this place Reminds me of all I hate about you Hold me down I'm falling from you now Wanna see the terror written on your face Torn away There's nothing you can do or say to keep me waiting for the Hell you've made Hold me down I'm falling from you now Wanna see the terror written on your face Torn away There's nothing you can do or say to keep me waiting for the Hell you've made Something about this place Reminds me of all I hate about you Hold me down I'm falling from you now Wanna see the terror written on your face Torn away There's nothing you can do or say to keep me waiting for the Hell you've made Every time I look into your eyes I see something pitiful
