Wired to Die

Brain crash looming near everything begins to fade
Mind, shocked, frozen still I can’t take another day
Distance irrelevant, there's no way that we can lose
Existence limited by the worlds we choose to use
Spreading the malignant virus
Control within the plague
Engulfed in temporality
Ultimate dependency
Power with no stability
YOU'RE WIRED TO
Suicide, going back to the game of reality
Power in your hands erasing history
I need some time to vent; memory overload
Dumping, I am spent ready to explode
Hashtag or it didn't occur, documenting our lives
Futurephobia overwhelms me, this will be our demise
MINDLESS living for the update
HIDING but you will soon be found
WORSHIP the machines, OBEY their orders
Surrender to the electric crown
Spreading the malignant virus
Control within the plague
Engulfed in temporality
Ultimate dependency
Power with no stability
YOU'RE WIRED TO DIE!
Only with time will you see that this is how the story ends
They feel no pain, man verse machine; I think I know who's gonna win
They will enslave the mighty race. The slaves will bring the master down
Creation lives, creator dies, there's no one left to save us now
Watch it burn see her die; your mother on her dying bed
No one to blame you lit the match and now you must watch her collapse
See the tubes giving her life; the only thing that keeps her ill
The pain consumes mind overthrown, her life becomes a living hell
A living fucking hell
Fatal error the planet's crashed, begin to wipe the mind of time
Its face turns blue the first to go damaged file: human kind
MINDLESS living for survival
FIGHTING but soon to be enslaved
WORSHIP the machines, OBEY their orders
Welcome the dawn of the electric age!
Spreading the malignant virus
Control within the plague
Engulfed in temporality
Ultimate dependency
Power with no stability
YOU'RE WIRED TO DIE!
WIRED TO DIE

Scourge
05:23

Shadows consume all life beneath your wake
Impending doom our ecosystem you forsake
We all starve while in gluttony and greed you thrive
Prioritising the bottom line over our lives
SCOURGE
Not satisfied until you’re drowning us all in our own blood
Like a maelstrom
That’s how you get what you want
CORRUPTION
We’re trapped in a battle of wills
Where only greed succeeds
Don’t you know
THE WORLD DOESN’T TURN FOR FREE
A quest for gold a race we're all against the clock
To build our empires, feed on the weakest in our own flock
Driven by pipe-dreams fed by the leaders of the game
No remorse, no consequences, bureaucracy shifting the blame
They SHIFT THE BLAME TO US
The best friends brigade a handshake filled with others’ cash
A closed party we weren't invited but we're paying for the flash
Investing for us our lives into whatever feeds your desire
Sitting smugly atop your pile you throw us all onto the pyre
SCOURGE
Not satisfied until you’re drowning us all in our own blood
Like a maelstrom
That’s how you get what you want
CORRUPTION
We’re trapped in a battle of wills
Where only greed succeeds
Don’t you know
THE WORLD DOESN’T TURN FOR FREE
Your selfish apathy no concern for those around
The world is yours you claim as you BURN IT TO THE GROUND
Take everything it's all for one and one for you
The system is broken like our trust, we’re born to lose
SCOURGE
Not satisfied until you’re drowning us all in our own blood
Like a maelstrom
That’s how you get what you want
CORRUPTION
You line their overflowing pockets
And you grease their palms
Keeping us down
SCOURGE
Not satisfied until you’re drowning us all in our own blood
Like a maelstrom
That’s how you get what you want
CORRUPTION
We’re trapped in a battle of wills
Where only greed succeeds
Don’t you know
THE WORLD DOESN’T TURN FOR FREE

Benevolent Destroyer
07:45
|

As I look down to see these beings dispersed
Can’t help but think of all the time I’ve immersed
Into a plague, upon this land
Your extinction is near, die by my hand
My heart is full of sadness
I can no longer stand this madness
And now to destroy my passion
My creation, my pride!
Arggghhhh!
Burning buildings, twisted metal, gas fumes fill the air
There's no choice, in your demise the concept of extinction isn't rare
Your rise will bring your fall; these eyes have seen it all
Rage, cheating, anger and disposition, they don't shock me any more
Evolve to recede
Repeat after me
I’m human I AM FREE
Chasing destiny
You’re blinded by greed
No choice but to destroy this disease
These hands, they've built empires then crushed them where they stand
Where once stood exuberant palaces lays nothing but shifting sands
I am the leader, destroyer and conqueror; none shall live, you all shall know
The plans of your destruction; the grandest of my obstructions
Evolve to recede
Repeat after me
I’m human I AM FREE
Evolve to recede
Repeat after me
I’m human I AM FREE
Regression: Back to a time of suppression
Aggression: Now is the time to fight
Obsession: A constant quest for possession
Digression: The world has gone awry
And now you all must die!
Encaged is the mind, break out or die; confined within insanity
A broken mirror reflection blurred. Is it them or is it me?
A walled in city but who's protecting who? None are free 'til all are free
A flattened planet, none shall survive. My last plea: awaken your mind!

Predator
04:54
|

Fleeced by the predator
Following the herd
Mindless naïveté
Sure seems absurd
The exploitation of the innocent
Total confusion is the name of their game
RIGGED FROM THE INSIDE
The more you know the more power you hold
But knowledge is fastened under heavy locks and chains
There’s no end in sight
Their words are not in black and white
BLOODSTAINS red on the page
Exploited and broken left to rot in your contractual cage
Predatory wolves
Devour the dumb
In complex pastures
There's no room to run
Into their life grinding funnel
Fed by self-serving advice
You’re left to die in a tunnel
With no ending, no light
There’s no end in sight
Their words are not in black and white
BLOODSTAINS red on the page
Exploited and broken left to rot in your contractual cage
Aw c’mon!
LOST IN AMBIGUITY
THERE’S NO MORE SECURITY
SUFFER FOR ETERNITY
Spend your life in chains
ENTER THE PREDATOR
They own the fields, they pay the Shepard his wage
They built the fence, they sell the wool
And they open the gate for the wolf every morning
And when a lamb is taken they’re the first to play the fool!
The exploitation of the innocent
Total confusion is the name of their game
RIGGED FROM THE INSIDE
The more you know the more power you hold
But knowledge is fastened under heavy locks and chains
There’s no end in sight
Their words are not in black and white
BLOODSTAINS red on the page
Exploited and broken left to rot in your contractual…
YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A PREDATOR
FEEDING ON THE INNOCENT
PREDATOR!

Kingdom of Fear
04:46

Revel in victory but what you say ain't what I see
I'm raped of liberty, you must repay
River running red, drown in our own blood
You’re carving it in stone, only proving what they say
You're in my world, merely my pawns
Embrace your king, do exactly as I say
Dripping from your eyes, bleeding tears of lies
Soldier on the front you're not going home today
(No way)
Your pedestal high
Drunk deep in pride
But you're no God of mine
Your kingdom comes
Your will be done
Your kingdom
Kingdom of fear
Who's got the biggest dick? Insecure prick
Safe upon your throne, feeding scraps to the state
Unrelenting lies, still we must abide
You will never stop until oppression is embraced
(Embrace it now)
Your pedestal high
Drunk deep in pride
But you're no God of mine
Your kingdom comes
Your will be done
Your kingdom
Kingdom of fear
ONWARD WE FIGHT
KILL ALL IN OUR SIGHT
For a CAUSE THAT AIN'T RIGHT
So OUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT
Your pedestal high
Drunk deep in pride
But you're no God of mine
Your kingdom comes
Your will be done
Your kingdom
Kingdom of fear
Open our eyes
To see the lies
Meet your demise
I will be the fall of your kingdom!

Sabotage
05:12
|
|||
Born to inspire not impede change
We’re growing tired of this power race
All you do is vilify
You run your mouth running them down
Laying to waste all of the things you have built
Just to spite your foe; you can’t let him win
Fight at all costs; it’s all or nothing
Sabotage!
SABOTAGE!
Out of principle alone, it’s red versus blue
It’s black verses white; opposites through and through
Dogmatic one-eyed machine on a straight beaten path
If you can’t beat them, join them in destroying all class
Sabotage!
SABOTAGE!
Nations flushed down the drain for a bullshit ego war
Every point you can steal is a point on the board
Criticise every move, argue every single thing
With fire in your eyes, too blind to see the world burning
Sabotage!
Destroy your confidence through fear
Though they’ve nothing to give
A war of words no one wins
It’s all lies and deceit
They make it easy to believe
Until they’re under the gun
Now the tables have turned
And there’s nowhere left to run
You choose the lesser of two evils
But both are just the same
They’ll screw and rape and beat you,
Say the other is to blame
They’re both the devil in disguise
The illusion of choice
You can scream all you want
But they won’t listen to your voice
GUTLESS POWERS FULL OF SHIT
Safe on your soapbox you talk it tough
VULTURES TEARING US TO BITS
Appointed leaders that no one wants
WHY MUST YOU PLAY WITH OUR TRUST?
Selfish deceivers while the people are ignored
WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN US?

Venomhead
03:59
|

A beast among the herd
Terrified they've always served
Sick with fear and blind with greed
Religious fear that breeds inside
Witches beaten and burned alive
Kill for your honour or die with your pride
Sentry rounds light up the sky
Billions spent while millions die
Knowledge serves to fuel the flames
Watch them as they burn higher
Worldwide shock therapy
Mankind's irreversible lobotomy
They manufacture meaning to your life
A SURGE of poisonous hate flows through my veins
IT BURNS, don't worry you'll soon know my pain
VENOMHEAD
Indulgent fiend, controller cradle to the grave
VENOMHEAD
Venomhead; beware the poison in my brain
An insincere and wicked beast
Traditions twisted for the feast
Preach your salvation in the streets
(Preach)
There's no way out once you get bit
Donate your life as the poison hits
Death will surely find you if you flee
YOUR LIMBS sawn off while you are still alive
DEEP BREATH as your head is severed with a smile
VENOMHEAD
Indulgent fiend, controller cradle to the grave
VENOMHEAD
Venomhead; beware the poison in my brain
A SURGE of poisonous hate flows through my veins
IT BURNS, don't worry you'll soon know my pain
VENOMHEAD
Indulgent fiend, controller cradle to the grave
VENOMHEAD
Venomhead; beware the poison
VENOMHEAD
Indulgent fiend, controller cradle to the grave
VENOMHEAD
Venomhead; too late the poison has you…

Listen up
You got me forced to crack my lids in two
I'm still stuck inside this rubber room
I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind
I'm just another gear in the assembly line… oh no!
The noose gets tighter around my throat
But I ain't at the end of my rope
'Cause I won't be the one left behind
You can't be king of the world
If you're SLAVE TO THE GRIND
Tear down the rat racial slime
You can't be queen of the world
If you're SLAVE TO THE GRIND
You gotta get it!
A routine injection, a lethal dose
But my day in the sun ain't even close
There's no need to waste your prayers on me
You better mark my words 'cause I'm history
Yes indeed
You might beg for mercy to get by
But I'd rather tear this thorn from my side
'Cause I won't be the one left behind
You can't be king of the world
If you're SLAVE TO THE GRIND
Tear down the rat racial slime
You can't be queen of the world
If you're SLAVE TO THE GRIND
They swallowed their daggers by turning their tricks
They tore my ambition apart brick by brick
I'm sick of the jive
They talk verbal insecticide
They swallowed their daggers by turning their tricks
They tore my ambition apart brick by brick
I'm sick of the jive
They talk verbal insecticide
Well I won't be the one left behind
You can't be king of the world
If you're SLAVE TO THE GRIND
Tear down the rat racial slime
You can't be queen of the world
If you're SLAVE TO THE GRIND
I said SLAVE TO THE GRIND
SLAVE TO THE GRIND
SLAVE TO THE GRIND

As Darkness Comes
06:20
|
|||
A storm rolls in on the horizon
The clouds are brewing black as night
Thunder roars, the lightning cracks across the sky
USHER FORTH THE END
The beast of time has been awoken, unleashed
The rising force of equilibrium
The scales are tipped now we must pay the ultimate price
NO ESCAPING YOUR FATE
We think we're safe in the great eye's unblinking gaze
She wants us gone, we've overstayed our time
It watches on waiting to strike at any moment
OUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED
I see the rising of disease and allergies
Super viruses are not coincidence
Biological warfare we're getting weaker
IT’S NATURE'S SIGN
You have been selected
There’s a target on your back
For carelessness and apathy
Humanity has met its match
THE PERFECT STORM BEGINS THE END
Our future is looking grim
We're in a war
Humanity can never win
BATTLING A FORCE that cares NOT FOR OUR CAUSE
Human existence in the bin
Take one last look at the light as darkness comes
For every action we’ll be held accounted
A hundred years of abuse will be avenged
Judgement is ours to bear for all that we have done
BRING DOWN THE HAMMER
Cities that once stood tall and proud levelled in seconds
An entire race brought to its knees before the beast
Its monstrous form will devastate us all with vengeance
WE'RE OUT FOR THE COUNT
Justice will bring the end
A powerful enemy we’ve made
With greatest ease it devours
And turns the human race to waste
THE PERFECT STORM BEGINS THE END
Our future is looking grim
We're in a war
Humanity can never win
BATTLING A FORCE that cares NOT FOR OUR CAUSE
Human existence in the bin
Take one last look at the light
DARKNESS…RISES
DARKNESS…ENGULFS
Who are you to choose my fate?
Carelessly watch as we degenerate
Whether by storm, flood or FIRE, or our own DESIRES
Time will tell how we terminate
So can tell me what do you know?
Destroying everything you think you own
The decimation of TRUST, pillaged, plundered and BUST
Now we wait for the final ...blow
As you suffocate, on your self-served hate
You realise it’s too late you’ve lost it all
Asphyxiated on greed, confusing what you want and need
You’ll see the human empire fall
The seas swell will blood
The lands left barren
The skies turn black
The earth is poisoned
Arrogance and apathy
Ticking like a time bomb
Ready to explode
An ever-mediating force it will always find a way
