Valley of Defilement
04:29
|

Frustration boiling over / Unable to contain / In response to the callous / Who look blindly in the face / Of an unsustainable system / Driven by the death / Of creatures just like me / Turned into commodities
Fighting hateful urges / To avoid making a scene / Filled to the brim with rage / Over things I cannot change / Lie awake at night / Paralyzed by guilt / Hearing the anguished screams / As I fail to fall asleep
Hatred spilling forth / Erupting from the earth
Humans digging our own graves / With every life we take
Souls of countless innocents robbed of life's ether
Another lost soul withdrawn from its vessel
Grant strength to the weak so they may regain control
Mend this damaged world and make things whole
All living struggle to maintain life and avoid pain
And there has to come a time
When we call holocaust what it is
We are killing our own by the millions every day
Gaia will come to take her revenge
And this will be the genesis
Of humanities fucking end
Vegan
Straight Edge

For hundreds of thousands of years, the stew in the pot / Has boiled up a resentment that is very hard to level / If you want to know why there are calamities and wars in this world / Just listen to the sounds from a slaughterhouse at midnight

Death in the Family
03:58
|

Take a backwards glance / Remember the face / I want to see regret with nothing left to change / To see the muscles twitch as you strain to find an answer / Resign yourself and accept / On that fated day when your flesh becomes the earth / Know that you will never be forgiven / With a guilty conscience on your head be driven into the ground / Knowing you can never atone / Memories come to haunt you / Apparitions congregating / Around your table / Patiently waiting / it's time to show your face / Time to face the music / Give up once more and waste away / Make this earth a better place / Sink into / And in that final hour as you fade into the dirt / Know that you will never be forgiven / Piercing eyes see to your fear through the brave front / Die knowing you can never atone / No forgiveness left to earn / Nowhere left for you to fucking turn / This is the space past your last chance / This is how it has to end / Watch the seconds count down as you fade into the earth / Know that you have not been forgiven / And I will always fucking blame you.

I've seen the forked tongues spitting / A sermon for the weak / Excuse the crime away / In a pseudo-scientific haze / Jawline / Canines / Necessity / What a fucking surprise / Gnashing / Biting / Clawing / Tear at the flesh / Strict adherence to Darwinian ideals / Built on the backs of the freshly killed / The jawline / The canines / Your necessity / No surprise / By the bolt gun or by the blade / There's blood on your hands / And you can't shift the blame / For the innocents that you've killed / Burn.

Gaia's Vengeance
03:18
|
|||
|
Airways erupting with mucus and blood / Battle to push air through bogged down lungs / Holding on with a gaze of steady kindness / Purity untouched by the swelling and the ulcers / They don't ask for forgiveness / They don't even bat an eye / A cold calloused indifference / That will never be atoned for / Jeremiah please forgive us / Let the evidence travel across the land / Let the guilty be punished for their sin / Let the blood stain every filthy hand / Let the storms tear down our monuments / Let some toxin take hold / I wouldn't even fight / Ensure the huddled masses / Don't survive the night / Wipe all of this blight off of the land / Leave only husks of bone and skin / Jeremiah take revenge

A Coward's Anthem
03:56
|
|||
|
Weak willed generation, treading on the dotted line / Widespread exploitation, a sign of changing times / Unsure motivations, blurry vision and dodgy aim / Throw up our collective hands, shift responsibility / More than an extension of another culture's failures / We can be better than a vent for anger / We can be a counterweight to a fucked up system / As long as we don't give up and quit in the mean time / I want to see you struggle and overcome / You have to choose to be / Sickness nor symptom / In a change of the classes are you servant or master? Or will you shift the paradigm and be something better? / In a reverse of the roles, are you slave or captor? Or will you break the mold and be something better? / In a flip of the switch, are you victim or killer? Or will you rise above it all and be something different? / Speak up / And take back what is yours by right.

Ignorance Is No Excuse
03:32
|
|||
|
Another thoughtless day / Pumping life into an industry / Pretty up the packaging / To hide the truth of the decay / Drink the blood / Ignore the signs / Appeal to the nature / Our biology defines / Sharp or dull it's just an excuse / The necessity was always a ruse / Hide the pain with numbers not names / Close your eyes and turn away / Plug your ears / Block out the screams / The fingers are snapped / The life is snuffed out / Could you slit their throats / If you had to do it yourself? / There is no innocence In being complacent / Secondhand murder Is still murder / And you are culpable / Ignorance is no excuse
