Curse
01:40
|

You don't own him...teeth in this corpse...builds a dying monument...flesh and earth cursed innocent and black...raped with tongues of steel and glass...how could you fucking touch him?...torn from the ashes to be...dragged by your face

Dar Al Harb
01:56
|
|||
White rain falls across the walls of new Jerusalem...to the ashes of disbelief...cry your filthy lie...venomous embodiment of wrath and hate...the star burns bright scorching the land clear for repopulation....repopulation...swallows whole...your Zion crushes whole...caging every life for the devil's prize...country gutted out...nailed through the foot...christened in power...the beast's power....the beast's power

Path To Misery
03:05
|
|||
Born with no soul of your own so you dig for bones in the graves of those you've enslaved and massacred....bronze your horns and hooves with blood and sacrifice...collapse at the altar of your barren life...frail and yellow...your spine twists downward from shame and the weight of your arrogance...carry the whisper that we are nothing more than stolen bones...and the blistered tongues of the dead carry the whisper...awake to a bleached destiny of sorrow...do you hear the voices escaping from the tongues that your hand cut out....the bell that summons you to surrender prayer is the bell that summons you to kill...in the end your own savagery has left you with nothing...and you're the one left out to die

The Rise
03:21
|
|||
Stand up...do you hear the songs of redemption coughed out from blackened lungs?...as the bitter martyred voices harvest the songs to ruins...ruins...pump the veins with blood and demons...to breed havoc baptized in venom...the screams turn to whispers and we forget it...do you see the streets turn cold and red?...as millions of swollen hands are unable to close or clinch...in a cycle of filth the rewards are reaped in ruins...ruins...and now we're safe...with blood in our own mouths...swallowed in faith...spit it out...the fear soaks in...pointing the way to the horizon...do we choke on our sins?

Suffocation
01:25
|
|||
These academies packed full ready to kill for the throne...in drone...gouging at any voice of fist raised to piercing...state stands...in death of the defense...the resistance falls in flock...for your ideal...power feeds...brokering the means of survival and liberty...when the soot falls down from the sky and hope breaks lose...are you numbed by the blade being pointed at you?

Broken Dust
04:40
|
|||
Broken dust falls from our hands to the grasp of eternity...eat it all till nothings left to consume but your own flesh...and from the birth of Jonah...ninety-nine names carved into hands of clay carry our liberation

Cast You Down
03:03
|
|||
Temples adorned with charred and suffocated bodies that lay upon the ruins of broken hopes...split tongues of the white prophets of a new order...as millions of swollen, naked bodies left to rot in the sun...hang them from their white crosses...rip their throats out...and make them remember...the cries for forgiveness that echo down these empty, scared hallways...i cast you down with the strength of god

Bury me in this belief
Men so weak fall to sleep
Do our ears fail
Do our knees buckle
Ever faded dream shackled is a monument to death
And I won't wait for hell's apology to come
How many times do we submit to flesh
How man times do we submit to truth
When those in bonds
We're bound with them
And as the current pulls and I slip under
The bonds dissolve by sea
Do I believe
When wounds burst with ash we all bleed like pilgrims feet
Do you believe you are free
When this cage was built for you
We're bound with those in bonds
All as one

Let’s build the envy…let’s hide our shamed faces…let’s drown the image of yesterday…the footprints lashed across this land…they mark trails we fear to walk…so when this river finally runs dry…the blood is the water we will drink…and then we cry to smiling guns “reform and compromise”…but the countless prayers are answered in…lies…and this put fills with bodies in drowning trust…knots on every belly tighten…blisters on every hand bleed…so when this river finally runs dry…the blood is the water we will drink…let’s build the envy…let’s hide our shamed faces…let’s kill the dead of all time…before the sun returns home…

I’ll keep the promise in the last breath of martyrs…these feet are heavy but they’ll move on…from broken limbs to broken halos…these words of war become words of shame…and I still scream for days of sun…the trigger pulled…the horror echoes…where is the ease I need to feel…where is the faith I need to murder…does terror rule complete…hope kills fear…hope kills fear…the breath of life…hope kills fear…turning back into golden shells…we close our hearts and minds…but keep flying if you rise because this beast will never rest…one thousand times the devil lied…my complacency…burn it to the sky…“the chains of sha’tan were not made that strong”*…their steel rots…it’s made to be broken…to be broken
