5 ContributorsSink Fast Let Go LyricsAs always, the will and desire

Passed off as a fault of the unlearned

As always, the will and desire

Passed off as a fault of the unlearned

 

Sink fast, let go

Sink fast, let go

Sink fast, let go

Sink fast, let go

Sink fast, let go

 

To live this but not to subscribe to god

Means we can halt our own rapid decline

To live this but not to subscribe to god

Means we can halt our own rapid decline

 

Sink fast, let go

Sink fast, let go

Sink fast, let go

Sink fast, let go

Sink fast, let go

 

No product of an almighty here

Cast in no creators' image

Trust in our own complexities

To exit, not degenerate

 

 

What joy to linger

Sink fast, let go

At behest of the appointed

Sink fast, let go

Dregs for the appointed

 

No product of an almighty here

Life's not precious at its fringes

He didn't help through trials and tribulations

So you can't bar the exit door

 

Scream out for shutdown

Sink fast, let go

At behest of the appointed

Sink fast, let go

Cling for the appointed

Dregs for the appointed

 

Life pushes major choices

And this is the most informed

We do as we please

 

Dregs for the appointed

Dregs for the appointed

 

When all we finally possess

Is the shadow of our former self

We do as we please

 

 

Sink fast, let go

4 ContributorsPuritanical Punishment Beating LyricsAutomatons strayed from their flock

Cast as the embodiment of ruination

 

Resounding words from God

And words are all they ever are

Astounding deeds from faith

That never quite astound

 

Moral yardstick beats us senseless

Observe some wills being broken

Blocked the clear sight

 

Better an outcast than a forced sycophant

Better a head free from religious checks

 

No protection - oh well, take a slow sexual death

No salvation through safe birth control (!)

 

Same sex, different habits - who gives a fucking shit

This won't make the species unfurl

 

Better an outcast than a forced sycophant

Better a head free from religious checks

 

Slavishly steered by redemption

Stricken by Biblical wrath

When solutions lie in compassionate logic

Not hearsay but the will of man

6 ContributorsIn Deference LyricsEthically aligned to the cause

Or so I thought

A cause that decried the exploits

Where masses are coerced

 

Often, social justice is a cynical smokescreen

Only at their bidding, only at their bidding

 

Close-circuit reach, don't overstep my boundaries

Such boundaries that crumble under order

 

Sincerely you serve your own ends

Do as I do

I can't tell my left from my right

Corruption blurs

 

Face the wrong direction

And we risk containment

Whilst they sanction murder

Whilst they sanction murder

 

Close-circuit reach quickly erases all travesties

Such travesties waved away with feeble ease

 

It's adjudged to be uncivil

You should be at a lower reach

Bound over

Because open thinking is an act of complicity

 

 

Leaders are leading by example

'Rights' and 'wrongs' on a sliding scale

Sit atop the order of importance

You too can reap the power harvest

 

It's adjudged to be uncivil

You should be at a lower reach

Bound over

Because open thinking is an act of complicity

 

The 'deviant' young get in the way

We become suitably distraught

Judges take lives near and afar

And reap the power harvest

 

Power harvest

Power harvest

Power harvest

Power harvest

3 ContributorsShort-Lived LyricsIn and out of boxes

And herded into packs

Get swept away on a current of mediocrity

Of mediocrity

 

Forcing pleasure visually, not offending their ears

How tedious

Maximum restriction, minimum enlightenment

How tedious

 

Approval to be worthwhile

Toiling to make the grade

Don't relax on a wide view

Seek pardon toward the grave

 

In and out of boxes

And herded into packs

Get swept away on a current of inadequacy

Of inadequacy

 

Swallowing what's 'right' and 'wrong'

Grasping the unproven rule

How tedious

 

Approval to be worthwhile

Toiling to make the grade

Don't relax on a wide view

Seek pardon toward the grave

Living to actually live

Mercy without faith's weight

I'll relax on a wide view

No apologies toward my grave

 

 

Drudgery prevails on the checklist of faith

So little time given moral restraints

Cut loose the sinners who can barely be named

Drudgery prevails on the checklist of faith

Drudgery prevails on the checklist of faith

Drudgery prevails

4 ContributorsEyes Right Out LyricsDon't look upon the spoils with accusing gaze

Don't insinuate that this stranglehold should really break

Don't jab conspiratorial fingers in that direction

Don't hold up to the light their dregs of purified poison

 

Gently you'll be dissuaded, brought around

Gently you'll be dissuaded, brought around

 

Don't work out that the suffering mind knows when to die

Don't drink from jeweled chalices and wonder why

Don't steal back from exploiters that stripped you bare

Don't arrive back to thinking that he's got your share

 

Somehow you've been dissuaded and shut out

Somehow you've been dissuaded and shut out

 

Objections raised all softened to a murmur

Wanton blasphemers shrink down in this vacuum

 

Loudest base pleasures stifled to a whimper

Colour and shade is so bland in this vacuum

 

Loudest base pleasures stifled to a whimper

Colour and shade is so bland in this vacuum

 

Repentant, you've been muzzled in their open arms

Repentant, you've been muzzled in their open arms

 

 

Repentant, you've been muzzled in their open arms

Repentant, you've been muzzled in their open arms

Repentant, you've been muzzled in their open arms

Repentant, you've been muzzled in their open arms

3 ContributorsRabid Wolves (For Christ) LyricsBelieving is deceiving

The Earth is to be scorched

Doctrines crushed underfoot

The very doctrines that perpetuate your cult

 

Archaic ways that would take the place

Are just an inverted spin on the regimented code

Divisive and regressive from the harmony of all

 

Must shoulder the fallen

The weak are not mere fodder

And that's what's called free-thinking

Distanced from all gods

Demagogue, demagogue

 

Distanced from all gods
