As the Palaces Burn Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The fiends have gagged
A generation of pacified fools
Bound by our greed
A nation enslaved as corporate tools
Arise and raze the legacy of their lies
To realize that this, in itself, is an ascension
Towards the day we revolt
[Chorus]
As the seeds you've cast away take hold
War will be born
Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun
We'll dance as the palaces burn
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
A shotgun blast into the face of deceit
You'll gain your just reward
We'll not rest until the purge is complete
You will reap what you've sown
[Bridge]
My redemption lies in your demise
[Verse 3]
In such a world as this
Does one dare to think for himself?
The paradox of power and peace
Will destroy itself
To know the truth and live in fear of no man
To realize that this, in itself, is an ascension
Towards the day we revolt
[Chorus]
As the seeds you've cast away take hold
War will be born
Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun
We'll dance as the palaces burn
My redemption
Redemption lies in your demise
Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun
We'll dance as the palaces burn
For Your Malice Lyrics
[Intro]
Welcome home to my reality
So, you taste yourself every time?
Bitter must be your pleasure
This, your swan song, I'll sing for you
[Verse 1]
I'll cut the words from your mouth
You'll never speak my name again
Locked up and sold the fuck out
Don't think you won't see me again
[Refrain]
It'll come back three times
Once in the name of deceit
Twice for your malice
Three times when I take you away
[Verse 2]
This is a homicide daydream
I won't waste my hate on you
All that you've claimed not to be
Has now come to define you
[Refrain]
It'll come back three times
Once in the name of regret
Twice for your envy
Three times when I take you away
[Bridge]
Turn on my heels and
Spit apathy on
This bridge you have burnt
[Verse 3]
Feast on my own blood
I'll drain myself to sleep
I'll rise from death to knife this beast
These last regrets, the ones I keep
[Refrain]
It'll come back three times
Once in the name of deceit
Twice for your malice
Three times when I take you away
[Outro]
Three times when I take you away
Three times when I take you away
Three times when I take you away
Boot Scraper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Watch the broken common man
Drown his sorrows at unhappy hour
Dirty and sweaty
With just enough to get by
Calluses on his hands, calluses on his soul
Hard-boiled son of a bitch
Scraping away on the downhill grind
[Verse 2]
It's a means to an end, a mean end for most
Death and domestication ends in shattered hopes
Can't see the hand at the other end of the leash
Turn and bite
Turn and bite the hand that bleeds you dry
Throw yourself a bone, no one else will
Compromise leads to self-loathing
Money, the excrement of labor
[Bridge]
And you don't get to keep shit
Except politics and power trips
And a bad breath down your neck
I know, for I have
Toiled in the halls of the mighty
And not received
A teardrop in
[Chorus]
A bucket, motherfuck it
The world doesn't owe me a thing
But you do (Motherfucker)
The world doesn't owe me a thing
But you do (Motherfucker)
[Interlude]
So crooked when you die
They're gonna have to screw your ass into the ground
[Verse 3]
As life slowly unravels
With nothing to show but wasted time and dust
A thousand points of lies falling
On the deafened funeral eardrums of the blind masses
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
Rise above, extract your life
Will you look within
Then turn around and bite?
Day by day, the mask suffocates your life
Is this any way to live?
No, no, no fucking way
Blood Junkie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A shallow little jackal of a man
Posing as a hawk, conniving opportunist
Lease the blade, the gun, the bomb
In the name of justice
A violent panacea for what ails the nation
In advancement for the pig
You'll not wrest the truth from my hands
Eyes never closed, clarity
Clamped down in a grip so tight
On ordinary horror
Peering through a curtain of blood
[Verse 2]
Retribution or vengeance
It matters not which as long
As the pig stays on top of the ladder
Of bone his father has built
Ashes to ashes to the dust
Eaten, spiced with ambivalence
The nation swallows it all whole
Weakened by their collective neck in the noose
[Bridge 1]
Commerce brings war
Jihad has come to both sides
Eye for an eye, fire for fire
Raining death as the towers crumble
This will never end
Left without a choice
By the fiscal elite
War is set in motion by higher powers
A pissing contest for the unknown
Left bankrupt, we all die inside
As a couple jumps hand in hand to their death
[Bridge 2]
Wrapped in swaddling lies and laid in a dumpster
Spoon-fed shit doesn't even turn their stomachs
Gaping mouths yawn for more abuse
Someone needs to tip the nest
The pig ascends as I sink deeper
Seething, waiting for my death
[Outro]
The pig ascends
As I sink deeper
Seething, misanthropic
Waiting for my death
