Pigs to Slaughter

Welcome to the slaughterhouse
Where you are lined up and numbered
Prime meat used while remnants burned
The grotesque sounds are unheard
Shades of black are perceived
As every single material thing
Don’t have a clue of where I am
Rope is wrapped around my hands
I hear the sounds of metal crashing
I hear pained voices screaming
Down my neck I feel breathing
The blade I hear unsheathing
Encased rooms are air tight
Blinded by florescent white
Chained down and hearing laughter
Killed like pigs at the slaughter
Chained down to the table
My movements are disabled
Neurotoxin in my veins
Pain won’t register in my brain
They’ll hack and slice with no remains
While I watch everything
My vision turns to black again
The meat is sold just like a strain
Grab a number, wait in line
Slowly suffer, now you die
Encased rooms are air tight
Blinded by florescent white
Chained down and hearing laughter
Killed like pigs at the slaughter
Thank you for your sacrifice

Under the Queen's Rule

Unleash the hounds!
Fetch me their souls!
An evil king sits upon his thrown of gold
A vixen queen sits near ensuring he’s cold
Her beauty has blinded him of his morals
His mind is lost inside her realm of control
Intoxicated with wine and drunk on love
Blissfully following the song of his mourning dove!
Fly back to a place where you still wear your crown
Go back to your castle while the walls come crashing down
Reign, king, once again for all your empire to see
Show them your pathetic attempts to conquer me!
Attempts to conquer me!
A brother’s bond torn apart by the wretched queen
While the king was in court, she snuck away unseen
Crept up to her chamber, where the king’s brother lay
Devising a plot to make their king pay!
Unleash the hounds!
Fetch me their souls!
Fly back to a place where you still wear your crown
Go back to your castle while the walls come crashing down
Reign, queen, once again for all your empire to see
Show them your pathetic attempts to conquer me!
Attempts to conquer me!
An eye for an eye may leave the whole world blind…
But I’d rather be blind than know you're still alive!
Know you're still alive!

As every single day goes by
We still wait to be the ones that die
Watching as time goes on without us
Forgotten and alone, out in the cold
We sit and wait!
It's these lonely days with grey and gloomy skies
We sit and watch these days go by
I just can't believe I'm the only one
Who can see the gleaming strings
As every single day goes by
We still wait to be the ones that die
Watching as time goes on without us
Forgotten and alone, out in the cold
We sit and wait!
It's these cold and tired days
The smoke still finds our lungs
We sit and watch these days go by
Blending all together and turning into one
As every single day goes by
We still wait to be the ones that die
Watching as time goes on without us
Forgotten and alone, out in the cold
We sit and wait!
We are here waiting for this life to be over
Aimless and without reason, we continue to live our lives
Until the angel in the sky decides to come down and save us
Bringing with him the reasons why we're still alive
As every single day goes by
We still wait to be the ones that die
Watching as time goes on without us
Forgotten and alone, out in the cold
We sit and wait!

It’s been said time and time again
We are dead, we just don’t know it yet
Poisonous gasses fill the sky
Breathe them in just to stay alive!
They kill us slowly at the same time
We destroy to recreate
Artificial life we hate
We are the plague; overgrown
We are also the antidote!
We destroy to recreate
Artificial life we hate
We are the plague; overgrown
We are also the antidote!
Our brains swelling with information
We are told to keep us complacent
It has become the mass appeal
To ache with greed, to lie and steal
We have become so self-centered
Look at this world we’ve dismembered!
We destroy to recreate
Artificial life we hate
We are the plague; overgrown
We are also the antidote!
We destroy to recreate
Artificial life we hate
We are the plague; overgrown
We are also the antidote!
The apocalypse is coming, due to our own ignorance
We do not know when or how but we know it’s closing in
It may not be in our lifetimes or the ones of our children
But we still have time to prevent this catastrophe…
The antidote is within us all!
We will rise while they fall!
They will fall!

Ghosts from My Past
04:46
|

Surrounded by darkness, familiar faces
Floating in the black void around me
With bloody sockets and disfigured voices
They are laughing in distorted tongues
This vision now fading, whisping into nothing
Leaves my mind in disarray!
All of the good times we had; fragmented memories
Images in a black veil, bleeding into my conscious thought
It was nothing but a dream I thought I had woken up from
A nightmare that never ends; torturing mentality!
When shall I awaken!
Am I forsaken!
At the edge of the world
At the end of all time
There is just one thing left
Making me lose my mind!
Lose one friend!
Lose all friends!
Lose yourself!
Lose one friend!
Lose all friends!
Lose yourself!
When shall I awaken!
Am I forsaken!
Reality shaken!
Innocence taken!
