As You Drown
Album • 2011
Stuck in endless repeat Mere actors in this play Drinking bile from the same fountains Wading on through shit Forever chasing the phantom But never catching it All that you desire, that you believe Will be swept away The great void is calling your name For now amid the mimic rout A crawling shape intrudes A blood-red thing that writhes from out The scenic solitude It writhes! It dies! And seraphs weep Bleed! Die! Screaming on your knees Its hunger is eternal, as it eats away Devouring all that ever was and will be Conquering our fate All the liars, all the puppets Will be just dirt in the ground Out! Out! Out are the lights No hope! Everything dies Out! Out! Out are the lights No hope! Everything must die

They see the light of dawn And waste away They have no own free will, they are nothing Puppets on the master's string They are slaves to the kingdom of fear Their stench is revolting Their minds are unplugged Little sheep walk in line, laughing their way to the slaughter They are the loathsome product of this imprisonment Eyes - devoid of all natural light Souls - nowhere to be seen Man - spiralling down the abyss Governed only by fear Bent over in silence To welcome their king They're whimpering cattle, slaves to the kingdom of fear Don't want any part of this thing that they call life Six billion waiting servants, succumbing to the blight Cattle! Bastards! Whores! With my dying breath I'll curse you Slaves to the kingdom of fear Eyes - devoid of all natural light Souls - nowhere to be seen Man - spiralling down the abyss Governed only by fear

Their eyes behind every corner, their ears around every bend Big brother rears his ugly fascist head Forcing you to your knees, again Watching you! Peeping toms with gun and badge Controlling you! Your freedom raped by government Liberty's last dying breath Killed by the fear mongering swine of the earth Hide from their gaze in the veil of the night Learn to stay covered and just out of sight Death takes all who step in the light of the rulers Watching you! Prisoner of the camera eye Controlling you! We're under siege, you should be paranoid Guilty of being alive Captured in light Liberty's last dying breath Killed by the fear mongering swine of the earth Let your darkness shine, hide me from their light Let your darkness shine, cover me from their eyes Cut off the head of the serpent, sever the head of the state Eradicate all the watcher's perverted pigs Drown them before it's too late

You tell us you're different, say that you've changed No! same old deceivers, the same old chains Rabid wolves in sheep's clothing Telling nothing but lies Shit-eating grins, pitch black eyes There is nothing that's "new" About what you do It's ancient, archaic - barbaric and cruel Robbing the poor and harassing the sick Taking what little they have Treacherous vultures, feast on the carcass Of all that we used to be Everything's going down - falling apart Everything's going down - back to the start There is nothing that's "new" About what you do It's ancient, archaic - barbaric and cruel Robbing the poor and harassing the sick Taking what little they have Treacherous vultures, feast on the carcass Of all that we used to be Raping! Selling our soul The bastards are forcing us down So...tell me, how do you sleep? How does it feel? To kick a man when he's down, to prey on the weak...

Ashen, hollow yesterday souls Flashing cyanide smiles Nothing left to show but a back full of knives And there's only one reprieve, one final doorway Only one way out The only escape is the one that I offer Just one little push is all that you will need to be mine forever Twisted child of mine - you're nothing without me Concubine - my hallowed needle again, stabbing the vein Chemical burns, ashen skin - my mark is eternal You will never be free Savour me, never abandon me Or you'll suffer With mindless grin, speak to the god in me I am the white, your loyal betrayer I am the stars, the light in your eyes I am your cage, the walls that surround you I am the one who makes you crawl Dead hollow yesterday souls Flashing cyanide smiles Nothing left to show but a back full of knives The only escape is the one that I offer I'm your one way out I am the white, your loyal betrayer I am the stars, the light in your eyes I am your cage, the walls that surround you I am the one who makes you crawl

This track is instrumental.
Dead harlots come closer now! Give your flesh to me I'll drink from your disease-filled cunts These ketamine nightmares and frozen crack cocaine eyes Are all great friends of mine (But nothing burns as bright as this) Darkness closing fast, on this puppet made to hang Pitch black tunnel opens wide, grins with sharpened teeth You don't know what I am Peel the plastic skin to reveal the putrid mess beneath Deeper into nothing, a futile endless game The twisted scent of treason, fingers spark - synthetic flame The final consequence Of this failure to connect We offer up our souls, at the altar of the night Rotting piece by piece The worm is bursting at the seams In the cold grip of your warm flesh, finally revealed In powders, pills, ungodly juices - oblivion incarnate A serpent in the shadows - aching for release And as the veil does fall A violent retreat Deeper into you, into the nothing The final consequence Of this failure to connect We offer up our souls, at the altar of the night This is the end of suffering This is the end of all dreams We offer up souls, at the altar of the night

Fools! Short-sighted greedy fools, destroying our world They will do anything for green, spineless bastards Crooked poison fingers, infecting all things Bleeding the planet dry - blood for oil, death to all life Bleeding structure, falling down What will you profit from when nothing can survive? Bleeding structure, falling down Psychotic rampant fools, they're raping the world They will do anything for green, spineless bastards Crooked poison fingers, infecting all things Bleeding the planet dry - kill all life, kill for profit Bleeding structure, falling down What will you profit from when nothing can survive? We drown in rivers of shit

Cold metal goddess - deathly perfection Connecting everything A new beginning, visions untold The flesh dethroned The final step... Tentacles breach, humanity kneels Burrowing deeper - the cleansing hands Rising majestic, bathed in a sea of blood Consciousness reborn, to touch the stars above Steel arms of heaven - thrusting damnation Fucking the bleeding wound A new beginning - visions unfold Death to the old Let all connect... Every hole filled, with cold gleaming drills Burrowing deeper - the cleansing hands Erasing, rebuilding - the cleansing hands Perverse alliance, the end of all No soul required, as part of the machine A fractured echo, a ghost of our past Is all that remains after the cleansing hands
