This blasphemy, why can’t you see? Their crimes are crystal clear Deception reigns, you live in chains You can no longer feel In your eyes there is no life Only flesh and blood Fluoride heads, the walking dead, no fight to stay alive Our minds are numb, our body’s overcome They beat us down – bread and circus This is our destiny, spawned from their master’s creed A vicious plot – to cull the masses They set the trap, you took the bait Diseased, they vaccinate Create the fear, create the pain In chaos they will reign Spewing lies, a thin disguise To mask their true intent Depopulate, with quiet rage Patience will feed revenge Our minds are numb, our body’s overcome They beat us down – bread and circus This is our destiny, spawned from their master’s creed A vicious plot – to cull the masses We reign with our shadows Fomenting the treason Soulless corrupted vessels Don’t question our motives It’s clear to see, in history, the harvester of death The trusting herd will never learn They just repeat the test In your eyes there is no life – an empty shell inside Fluoride heads, the living dead, victims of democide Our minds are numb, our body’s overcome They beat us down – bread and circus This is our destiny, spawned from their master’s creed A vicious plot – to cull the masses We reign with our shadows Fomenting the treason Soulless corrupted vessels Don’t question our motives We reign with our shadows Fomenting the treason Soulless corrupted vessels Don’t question our motives Oh!

Send them down to the pits of hell Clip the angel’s wings and watch them as they fall Spiral into the silence Blackened sun turns the ancient tides Mountains crumble and we watch the ocean dries The dawn of the end approaching Space and time call the chosen damned As demigods we will reign across the land Our shadow creates the darkness Serpent skies shape the oracle of time Shadow future makes the prisoners in their minds Our power creates the darkness We will tear the weak from the strong To enslave the masses Our storm has come, see the times are ending Until the culling is over We will tear the weak from the strong To enslave the masses Our storm has come, see the times are ending Until the culling is over... Take their bodies We will kill them all This divide wicked factions shape our plan Shake the sky – we besiege the earth and man Follow us to the ending We will tear the weak from the strong To enslave the masses Our storm has come, see the times are ending Until the culling is over We will tear the weak from the strong To enslave the masses Our storm has come, see the times are ending Until the culling is over...

As was promised you Pathogen’s upon them This creation out of control They’ve come back to life Their hunger is unrelenting The flesh will ease their pain They will never take us Our numbers are to strong They’ll never see the light of day Waves of the undead storm Draining life from their path Spreading death and vile decay When in the darkness, the groans are all we hear The sunshine rises, they never disappear Then they come, the evil procession Sweeps through us all and we fall When we rise, a gruesome creation Enslaving the dead as their pawns Oh... Oh... They’ve built themselves an army Mindless, void and violent Crushing all opposition And those preaching resistance Roaming armies of death The plague sweeps across the land Created by the hands of men Body’s ripped to shreds The stench makes us sick Among the living dead When in the darkness, the groans are all we hear The sunshine rises, they never disappear Then they come, the evil procession Sweeps through us all and we fall When we rise, a gruesome creation Enslaving the dead as their pawns Oh... Oh...

On your knees is where you’ll be when we find you Smoke you out, a den of thieves, we’ve succumbed to You stand warned, your mindless hoard We will not falter You think your gods upon the earth We smash your altar No more time to justify or look for reason We will survive, we will defy this blatant treason We are strong, we stand tall, we’ll face the judgment We are alive, we will survive this corruption Take a deep breath, winds of freedom Spread like fire through the minds of brothers Love the fallen, fight the tyrants Face the challenge and you’ll never find falter Oh! They think it’s over (they think it’s over) That victory is imminent (they will fail) Safe in the illusion their reason goes unpunished The vicious crimes against their fellow man They suppress and enslave us An endgame of total death We shall rise! And resist! You think you’ve won, we’re overcome but we have risen You can’t deny, your cloak of lies no longer hidden You’re going down, you are exposed in your deception We’ll string you up, you all will die We’re reaping vengeance Take a deep breath, winds of freedom Spread like fire through the minds of brothers Love the fallen, fight the tyrants Face the challenge and you’ll never find falter Take a deep breath, winds of freedom Spread like fire through the minds of brothers Love the fallen, fight the tyrants Face the challenge and you’ll never find falter We shall rise! And resist!

As we gaze uncertain of the future Breaking dawn reveals impending rapture The darkest days seem to fall behind us We stand tall with pure defiance... Stench of death is thick with carcass and decay Destiny obscured, have we been led astray? Forge ahead, we will scale the mountain We are focused on the path of inner light Salvation, we are chanting to the sun Drawn closer, we’re fearless to the end Torch the dead, see the burning embers Eradicate this disease, reclaim the earth Bodies cleansed, our land purged of this nightmare Standing tall with these who truly are aware We survived, is it really over? We are clinging to the thread human of life Are these illusions in our minds? Or will the plagues come back in time? Will we survive to find a new life? Or will the rage reclaim us? Feeding on our yearning for the end Everything seems perfect and surreal Can’t help but wonder if this is the end Look around as paranoia swells Are we safe? Only time will tell We feel uneasy Vagabonds drifting all around The aftermath of their global cleansing We survived the attempt of mass genocide Is this the end? We are guided to the clean and promised land Seek a life, live where darkness has an end This horizon leads us to our freedom Reminiscing, all the plagues and death behind Are these illusions in our minds? Or will the plagues come back in time? Will we survive to find a new life? Or will the rage reclaim us? Feeding on our yearning for the end Are these illusions in our minds? Or will the plagues come back in time? Will we survive to find a new life? Or will the rage reclaim us? Feeding on our yearning for the end

We see the air is thick Between the ocean and the forest mist This blackened ocean calling for us Our minds are drawn to hate’s eternal storm The being screams its name and howls for more This spawning creature rises to our shore... Dark soul of the elder gods Spawning evil from the oceans floor Shape shifter fools all mankind To manipulate this world Mankind is hypnotized We’re standing paralyzed We are minions in the master plan Evil falls into unconscious minds Building armies for the chosen one To dominate this world Our future will be drowned The dark one will be crowned! We are grains in the sand of time His power gained though the passing tides Soon he’ll rise draining life and air Leaving man in despair The scriptures on the wall Hear the Cthulhu’s call! You will see the visions peel away Shape-shifting demon Casting spells upon the human race Death phoenix rising Tainted by his vile heinous stare Consciousness fading We are misted by his salted air Cursing our spirit All behold as the Cthulhu rises Taking its form from the ocean floor... His tentacles grasp embrace with power We’re tantalized, transfixed by evil... Spewing anger on the land below We submit to the creatures form Demi-god reigning with his power Were twisted, broken and torn The age has reached us now The dark one has been crowned! You will see the visions peel away Shape-shifting demon Casting spells upon the human race Death phoenix rising Tainted by his vile heinous stare Consciousness fading We are misted by his salted air Cursing our spirit You will see the visions peel away Shape-shifting demon Casting spells upon the human race Death phoenix rising Tainted by his vile heinous stare Consciousness fading We are misted by his salted air Cursing our spirit!

It rises from dormant slumber Drains life from the host in hunger Seeding its evil Manipulation Disguise, masking true intention Truth lies in its own reflection Burrowing deeper Spreading infection It grows, swelling in the darkness Feeding on the host and weakness Feeling exploited Our path in turmoil In the dark it drains our energy Devouring for its own need Vigilance will fight the parasite Prevent its roots from settling Our minds and bodies strengthening Flush the poison from existence Inside! It burrows! Divides! It tears us! No more! Destruction! Shifting! New victim! Defeat, cast away corruption Embrace with a new beginning These wounds are healing This strain has lifted In the dark it drains our energy Devouring for its own need Vigilance will fight the parasite Prevent its roots from settling Our minds and bodies strengthening Flush the poison from existence

And as I sit and ponder Regrets I have no longer But the questions still remain A world filled with injustice Division, pain and violence Will we ever find our way? I look deep in their eyes The fear I see makes me cry It’s the truth we must embrace You may take me But you’ll never break my will My soul is not for sale I fear nothing And justice will prevail My soul is not for sale This is my commitment And darkness, I’ll resist it And if danger comes my way? Well, I’ll stand firm in knowing The truth just keeps on growing We’re getting stronger everyday If they take my fleshly body Then I truly am free My spirit will remain, oh... You may take me But you’ll never break my will My soul is not for sale I fear nothing And justice will prevail My soul is not for sale You may take me But you’ll never break my will My soul is not for sale I fear nothing And justice will prevail My soul is not for sale

I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride With sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade The bastards tore me in the spring of twenty-five But I, I am still alive I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide And with the sea I did abide I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed But I’m living still, oh! I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide Where steel and water did collide A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound But I am still around... I’ll always be around and around and around and around and around I fly a starship across the universe divine And when I reach the other side I’ll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain... And I’ll be back again and again and again and again and again and again and again

“Hey you, I got something to tell ya, “Arr!” (Laughs) "Fuck yo couch. (Laughs) Fuck yo couch, mothafuckas. Arr, fuckers.” (Laughs) “Did you even know that was on there?” “Yeah, that was, I wanted to get us out here.”
