Lowly 03:23
Praise the god you’ve cleverly hid The spear in your side has been rid You know it so well, you’ve built this yourself Your only threat is gone Hang by my neck through victory song I watched as you gnawed at the hand from which you’ve fed I’ll sacrifice an arm to tie this rope around your neck But if you only knew The moments I’ve wished to grasp your throat If you only knew Times I’ve dreamt of breaking your bones You could never know The amount of your relief I own You will never know The depth of shit you would have dug on your own Praise, praise, your all seeing eye Adversary hanged, swayed from the sky Now your troubles are washed as white Take this victory with you in stride Find a new subject for you to condemn Punish their help, on your own wings you’ll win Cut their wrists so their hands are dripping red May you never be damned, for you are free from sin You are the holy You are the brave I am the lowly I beg to be saved You are the holy You are the brave I am the lowly I beg to be saved You are the holy You are the brave I am the lowly In your ruin I’ll lay
2.
You Are Your Failure Grasp for air Gasp for meaning We are nothing I am lower Keep pushing your boulder Keep ripping your stomach Keep clinging to your faith As your bones grow older We will always break We will always bleed We will always feel Deaths longing ache Days. Nights. Passage of time. Fall. Rise. Stare through the sky. Solace in a null existence.
3.
Shaking bodies draining blood See the loss, kill, rest, numb A flaw in my design Mental gap Says you’re no different Sees my bones snap The blade always dulls the second time around Killed the alert, never mind the wounds This is just me, and me knowing you Watch me rip at my scars Fingernails digging deeper to cut out anything you touched Taking knife to bones, scraping off the built up rust Getting farther from myself with each vein I tear Leave me an empty shell, so no trace of you is there You’ve laid claim to everything Let me down, left me out Hollowed out Begging for any feeling Fell below No longer human being
4.
Tongue sharpened through your jagged teeth Spitting your blood on anybody you see Praying and hoping to win their pity Then slither behind and sink your venom deeply Leech hooked to skin, parasite of human life You Plague Me Finding open wounds to slither through my veins You Plague Me Dragging down all life, lowest form of being You Plague Me A virus, a sickness, an infection all at once You Plague Me Bloodsucker Worm feeding off the host Pestilence spread around Your own worthless existence Taste your own disease
5.
Hollow Stone 02:18
Scare the blood from your veins Tear the hair from your head Lay and accept your fate For nothing awaits your grave An empty wake for a shallow soul A faint memory forever uncared for Your wasted life carries no tragedy You’ve left no mark, you’ll disappear eternally No mourners No living soul surrounds Your ash will not cover the ground
6.
Oppressor 07:09
Age old oppression New age aggression Claiming their progress Prey clenched in their jaws Pale white knuckles of men On the back of their scalps Grasp opposition Drown the resistors out Cyclical hatred pandered to simple sons Rich and religious, never pay for their sins Still taking control of her body Still killing him for his skin No room for the ignorant and dangerous Not a world for them to fucking belong Every race, every sex an equal life form Archaic men can’t hold the power anymore Abhorrence Of tyrants Upheaval Of ignorance Oppressor Decease
7.
Apparition 02:47
Apparition take hold Tear the skin from my skull Split down to my spine Gnaw the vertebrae I’m nothing more Pathetic vessel Fucking rotting bones In blood and filth Nothing Slip, tear End me These thoughts they swarm me Built my own pedestal Lie in wait to crumble Wreck the body who stands before you Valueless measures of breath Lungs of no meaning Heart not worth beating I am revulsion I am loathing
8.
You’re backwards logic is ruining the earth Killing and raping, claiming it’s yours It’s not your property Not born for your disposal The animals you’re eating Living, feeling, breathing Not yours to break and train Suffer a fate of even strength Refusing to see the world around Living, feeling, breathing Hook your body, hang from the ceiling Slit your swollen throat A bolt against your own skin Send the metal through your skull Steal your offspring And send them to grinding blades Grinding blades Force metal through your mouth Let the blood muffle your groans Living, feeling, breathing Fuck your tradition Fuck your addiction Fuck your supremacy Fuck your dependency Living, feeling, breathing
9.
Inevitable fate no more than a natural cycle No life with a meaning, only fights for survival Bound to Extinction Death looms Overhead Dust among stars Dead from the start
10.
Fatal optimism Clasps your pulsing veins Bury your head held high Lay still in your grave Content or deprecating, our bones will rot the same Forever covered by soil, unaffected by these worthless days We are alone in this, there’s no point to feign a hope Numb the body, kill the senses, no choice but to cope Nothing is waiting Nothing is here Swallow your faith Swallow your fear Stay down Stay hurt Stay out Stay broken
