Immolation
Album • 2013
Feeding ourselves to the structure Striving for all that is wrong Crying for all the wrong reasons Living without any souls A sense of perversion surrounds us Its crafted perception is fading More obvious now is the threat The writing is breaking the wall Feel it all spiraling down Slowly rising... This ominous power... Beast of deceit... Creeping towards us Ready to show its teeth Kingdom of conspiracy Knowledge now contained Building up our weakness Subduing us with awe Watching us play their game Watching our freedoms fade A crescendo of unheeded cries Now cries of the persecuted Feel its presence expanding Swirling gently around us Looming like a predator Its putrid maw will devour us all No one but ourselves to blame No one but ourselves to shame Watching us all from above Watching our freedoms sink Branding us for life It's all gone horribly wrong

Ubiquitous and ever-seeing Your every move, your every word Fear, dominance and control Enforcing the code on all Protection for the good of the land Sentinel of the righteous, commands Invade you to control you No dissent will be allowed Obey, follow and conform Condemning those who oppose Oppression for the good of the land Soldiers of the eminent descend Corralled and contained like cattle To feed this despotic appetite Tagged and numbered, bound and tethered Now you'll never be out of our reach Fading glory, worn and vicious Guilty or not, they will all comply Submissive masses sterilized Move in lockstep to the beating of our drums Projecting comfort while administering terror They take the bait, while we take the prize The order must be upheld Understand, with safety comes a heavy price Monitor you, rule you Your every move, your every word Fear, dominance and control Enforcing the code on all Protection for the good of the land Our iron rule now stands

Drifting through life, the docile and faceless Our surface so pure, yet beneath it all slithers corruption A peril so certain, this chasm grows wider and wider Avoiding frail edges... Safely idle, holding your tongues The illusion binds us all, rooted deep beyond control Never seek the truth or suffer condemnation With eyes upon us now, we believe our voice will bring us down A plague of lies burns wild and we let the poison rivers flow Faith in what was has left us with nothing Submissive by nature, they have us now Embracing our silence, we're gagged into ruin How dare we watch it and not say a word If we look away from the danger, it will only get stronger We hide from the truth, numbing ourselves to death

Sowing the seeds of extinction Replicating the natural order Pandemic scourge of humanity Now growing to its fruition Breeding disease and weakness Creating a world of dependence Planned for mass intake Ingesting the fruits of malignant design Man becomes god Manipulates life Poisons the world Cultivates death Mass genocide, human revenue Sprinkling misery into their bodies Feeding their hunger, feeds our agenda Don't ever let them know they're slowly dying Man becomes god Manipulates life Poisons the world No chance of survival

The dawn of our collapse Our system in decay At the precipice of war No longer can we last We followed faithfully Those who hold the keys Lead us to the edge Hold our breathes in fear Fear empowers trust Trust empowers greed Greed breeds the corrupt The corrupt will break the world All around us the signs are there Rip open your eyes and finally see Times of peril, world in ruins Secret motions, mass delusion Like a storm coming at us from all directions We can't find cover We ignored the warnings and wrote them off Now brace yourselves as your sacred pillars crumble Clear the ash... Clean the wounds The enemy is now exposed The echoes of despair... Now resonate like an earthquake Find the way... Find the strength Find the will... Bring the storm to them The weight of time is crushing down The world must rise... To fight back

Ready the youth for this culture of madness What a terrible time to be brought into this world Indoctrinated by a parasitic rhetoric Engineered to spread like a fever Amongst the innocent Make them see what you see Make them be what you are Indoctrination of the young Insures your cause will always thrive Catch them while they're young Embed your venomous sting This hidden abscessed splinter Leaking deep inside them Flowing through callow minds A soothing toxin of promises Altering their thoughts Infecting those within their reach Make them see what you see Make them be what you are Indoctrination of the young Insures your law will always thrive Bowing their heads in loyalty Bowing their heads in shame The rituals of conditioning Repeated, over and over Legions of disciples Soon legions of soldiers Innocent now A dormant threat waiting to mature A lifetime playing host to this lunacy Held fast by the barbs of faith Mad and blinded beyond reason A haze of twisted morals clings to them all Vessels for their war machine Vessels for their way of life This ravenous piracy of human minds Designed to assure our ultimate downfall The sadness of wasted life The sadness of silenced dreams Sorrow for these unwary victims Witness the loss of all identity Make them see what you see Make them be what you are Indoctrination of the young Insures your rule will always thrive

A populace unknowing Caught in a dangerous trance So focused on the meaningless That we've failed to see what's real Sleeping away While the storm quietly moves in Distracted and unconscious Lost in a perpetual fog Burdened with hollow desires Failing to see our end is near Sleeping away Now awakening into the nightmare Our comfort breeds our numbness Our numbness fools our minds Now they've fooled us all It's only a matter of time Paralyzed by a false sense of worth What will it take to break through this coma Our standards have all been broken Oblivious to this vile coup Falling asleep, falling away from reason Hallucination of the grandest of scales Slowly we wake, too late to escape the horror Helpless, we watch them march in And take our world away Sleeping away While the storm, quietly moves in Sleeping away Awakening into the nightmare Sleeping away Never to awaken again Sleeping away Awakening into the nightmare Sleeping away While the storm, quietly moves in Sleeping away Awakening into the nightmare

Sell them lies, sell them hope Sell them what you know they long for Confuse, dilute, and warp perception Make them think they want it all and more Sell them glory, sell them pride Sell them all that's far from reach Suck them in with smoke and mirrors Make them think it's what they need Engineers of deceit, planting all their seeds Artful in their craft, painting us right into their corner Preying on the aimless, preying on the naïve Pray that we survive, all the poison we've been fed Inventing the problem Naming the enemy Creating the conflict The greatest deception Is to make them believe There is no deception This foul machine Cloaked in our ignorance Propagation Of hatred and war Sold on lies, sold on hope So grand is this dark charade The only prize is blood and death Running wildly fighting shadows

Eager soldiers will rise to your calling Holy servants will bow in support Father bless us, mother guide us The spirit hears us and lights our way Your faith will serve them well Their faith will serve us better They'll never question, they'll never doubt Mold their hearts, and they'll never go astray Give them theater, a model to follow Show them the way to serve the divine Give them a god who speaks to them And give him a leash to rein them in Blessed are they in the light High on worship and grace Eating all the deities up Sweetness to cover the pain A cult of servitude to lead them all On a mission designed to serve one end Your gods have misled you into the fires With an even higher power pulling their strings Paid for in service for one cause In silent collusion running the show This messenger of peace has wings of black Depopulate the world to feed our greed Divide the world with false beliefs to wage all wars Conquering lives by using faith to rule them all A cult of servitude to lead them all On a mission designed to serve one end Your gods have misled you into the fires With an even higher power pulling their strings

Avarice, apathy, virtue dies Wicked hearts, hubris filled, self-destruct Illusions fade, tipping point, social collapse Be afraid, no longer can we fool ourselves Storms of fire ablaze with hate, ignite the skies Our falling empires writhe in fury, scratching violently to hold on Tragic times, a sullen world, overrun Collective malice, wipes away the pure of heart The cracks appear, breaking down, slipping away Crossing over, we've reached the point of no return Our final act before we take our final bow Abolishing our legacy, no mistake of what tomorrow brings Is it truly darkest before the light Or is darkness all that awaits us? Tears for all the life we've taken Regret for all the time we've wasted So much was lost and nothing gained Our sickness will soon be gone forever Slowly fading out of existence Close your eyes and weep no more Slowly dimming, the beat of our hearts Close your eyes and embrace a darkness without end
