Once Human
Album • 2017
Fallen hero lives through his past Inflated ego makes you think he's coming back Owned by many, abused by all That dog stands for nothing Offended, united we crawl It's just good Business to keep you sick What doesn't kill you makes him rich Your killer, your master Bow your head and he'll noose your neck Your master, your killer Flock of flesh, you're going off the edge Hide inside the States of denial as the page unfolds We write the climax of the sadest Story ever told His eyes are warm, his blade is sharp He's bleeding out your bleeding heart Your leader's just a cylinder of heads All the same Agenda, one deadly mind Just like the chamber of Roulette The bullet, a matter of time Your killer, your master Bow your head and he'll noose your neck Your master, your killer Flock of flesh, you're going off the edge Do I offend you? You're not alone I'll stand uncorrected on your mountain of Stone Do I offend you? Run on home See if water from your tears will grow you a Backbone Flock of flesh, bow your head, flock of flesh Flock of flesh, bow your head, flock of flesh

I fear, only in death There will be freedom From all warkind May we all fall a victor They named me a killer I learned to walk I learned the blade To cut the soul from the soldier Now is the time to test my faith I of war I of chaos We of gods Create the hell Seek the cause My eyes, they fail me In my world blood is priceless Life is worth more When it's lifeless Death comes closer Apprehensive delay Hands take over You slip away (away) Colors of earth have all faded away All that I see Is the pale of your face Death calls, I answer I see it through The voices of reason Were buried with you I fear, only in death There will be freedom For all mankind May you all rest in pieces I carve the earth's gutters All will submerge in crimson lakes In the pools of my brothers For blood is thinner Than my blade I of war Liberated the eye of chaos And devastated We of gods Create the hell Pleas are lost Your eyes, they fail you

Do you see the terror from within, And hear sustained outer blame? Do you feel the liberty as it beats you to the ground? Do you smell the empty shells of freedom? Watch the humans race Straight into death's embrace. You're choking under pressure, With that boot on your neck. They're sticking to their guns To show you ways to go. And pay their debts. Your rights remain silent (silently changed) You're right to remain violent Until they take you away. Free guns, free will. Until we aim higher than our own. Your rights, your risk Their fists will dry your blood red on the stone. Will dry your blood red on the stone. They'll take your eye for your eye, To make a blind man is injustice, justified. Those who see beyond the lies will rise The wise will be withheld. The law's biggest fear is truth itself. Price of your life? A dime a dozen. Cheap to buy when you're in the way. Your eye for your eye, if you keep one open. Blind lead the blind, the rats start to race. Your rights remain silent (silently changed) You're right to remain violent. Until they take you away. Free guns, free will. Until we aim higher than our own. Your rights, your risk Their fists will dry your blood red on the stone. Will dry your blood red. On the stone of their laws, their gods. Their fraud system is there to fail you, ail you. And sell you on the nails of the cross. Roads of crossbones means that everything's in order. So sit back, relax, and watch another mass murder. Frenzy, mass murder frenzy. Mass murder.

dealized airwaves, their way of hacking my brain The Dahmers of data Scramble information and feed me a taste Of monition, saturated waste Holding on a broken ledge of sanity Fighting with exploding waves of gravity It wants to see me fall and feed me to the rocks The ever-growing salts of tragedy Now, the unobserved has the mass controlled To weave a fabric from fabrication That coats the mind and the soul from fated cold Human reason interference Planted seeds of end in the mind Elemental unity and constructal signs We are constant kinds So, I reject the imprint I am the code, I will restore me Holding on a broken ledge of sanity Fighting with exploding waves of gravity It wants to see me fall and feed me to the rocks But I’m drifting on the salt of my veracity They paint this place like an empty face An image to fill the empty space Encrypted world of dust and light Fight for a memory in someone’s eyes If nothing is real, why must I die as a vision In the illusion of life? I sever the leads of external drives Uncoil the filaments of my mind I close the ports and reduce the noise Through the interstice, at last I hear a voice My own All this time, I questioned the world And all this time it did not reply All my life, in search of the answer I needed only to ask myself Why am I here?

I've taken for granted the reach of my voice. Host to the outbreak, opaque blades of noise. Chaos evolved myself. A part of me must die to make the space for growing light. The past devolves with time. Don't let it define. Why run from what remains behind? Unclasp my hands. Let go of dead weight, outgrown. Constricting me around my throat. My words, my last? Who knows, when death will crawl through my window? Before I go, you should know. Fire is where life is made, Burn within, hear the pain. Blacken my eyes, char my name. Throw the ash in my face. It constellates inside my brain. Wear the scars, claim the shame. Now the fire, weakened flame. There's new growth after the blaze. My skin bled and dried the wounds. My eyes watched it mend. My teeth gnash these words of suffering. So my mind may transcend. Are you rears burning in likeness? In crisis we all unite. Redesign my bias mind. Born to blind to the worst of times. Growing a voice within me. As loud as the darkness I believe. Dark matter will ossify. Corroding my reason. Coalesce in my soul. I ossify, I blacken my eyes Axis of ice, frost of my spite. I create the mold. Orbit with heat, I increase the cold. To keep my world under my feet. I cannot defend what's growing within. Set fire to my skin. Embers escape, all that remains. The crux of what I am. Noose in my voice, weapon of choice. To suffuse my sable void. Dark matter, no light emits. I'm starved of life, full of regrets. We've taken for granted the reach of our voice. Hosts to the outbreak, opaque blades of noise. Chaos evolved the world. Part of it must die to make the space for growing light. The past devolves with time. Don't let it define Why run from what remains behind? Unclasp my hands. Let go of dead weight, outgrown. Constricting us around our throat. My world, my last? Who knows?

Hear, can you hear them coming? The voracious hounds surround. There's no sense running. No hiding out, they will hunt me down. Life worth living for the taste of fear. A trail of tears leads them near. Scents of my flesh ripping. But I'm still here. Excavate my earth, exhume my corpses. Parading your dismay of a face contorted. I lead them to rest, you attempt new life. To display your virtue, garner the eyes. Let it die, Let it die young Let it die young. Behind the glass, barricade yourself free. Strong in isolation, weak upon your feet. Reinvent yourself an effigy. Painted face, a guarded place to force your beliefs. Paragon from a distance; You just play a part in your own fiction. Paragon, from a distance, You tell anyone who will listen. From afar, a quintessential being. Your façade is your existence. You dare not to swim in your salt and your sulfur High above the ruinous faults of your brothers. Give them something they can turn to, Human un-being. The world will look upon you and learn nothing. Nothing. Let the graves be graves. Let the graves, be graves. Are you searching for your life at their gallows? Are you searching for your light in their shadows? Paragon from a distance, You tell anyone who will listen. From afar, a quintessential being. Your façade is your existence. Ripped apart by corruption and power. Breeders of hatred and subdivision of green. See you reflection? All access to platforms to spread their disease? In a word that's bleeding. Be a cell that clots, watch it renew. The peace comes in pieces. Let the inception of war end with you. Let it die. Let it die young.

Survival mode sheds light on reality. Out for my blood, prepared your apologies. Your victim guise, haunting my bones. Mouth mimics cries, but your laughing with your eyes. Drowning in the mire. You've fallen for my faces as my breath devours. Take me by the hand. Let me have my way with how you end, my friend. Break me down pre-digested with your acids. All boils down to your hunger pains I watch you tremble. At the sight of healthy flesh, you addict. I know what you're here for. It lies between your teeth. The sweet taste of failure. In my favor. There's two sides to you, only one that you feed. There's no life in you, but what you take from me. I turn my back on you, so you turn th world on me. I want to run from you, but your steel trap rips my feet. I had no choice but to chew and sever that part of me. Sink your teeth into my fate, through my soul. Took a blunt cut to my head to kill you off. You're bleeding out my senses. Drain it all. You're feeding off my ashes, cannibal. I've been your breathing machine all this time. I will not resuscitate you, I'll cut the line. Accomplice to my own killing, retract my blade. Inflict the wounds of healing, I cut you out of me. I go dark on you You light the fire to hunt me. You didn't know they'd see you. You're exposed. I had to walk away as your screams fill the air. Your pain, calling my name. But you killed the part of me that cares. Sink your teeth into my fate, through my soul. Took a blunt cut to my head to kill you off. You're bleeding out my sense. Drain it all. You're feeding off my ashes, cannibal. Cauterize my softer side. I'm under the knife. Solder the remains of my life.

We come to the killers, for the cure. Slow, cold blade. It runs down the center of your spine. Pleading hunch. That you're running out of time. Something's wrong. And your mouth's stitched up shut. Like waking up with your head against the gun. Seems that the lead has got your tongue. Unspoken minds will speak with blood. If you want change, you've got to change the source. We come to the killers for the cure. Only the dead have seen the end of war. For we come to the killers. Why do you expect to feed from the hungry? A poor soul in debt will bleed. To get the rich blood flowing Your sweat is to drain you out. Your fear is to drive you. On a path that grows from tears. No drought where blood is shed on bones. Imprisoned It needs no lock.s It needs no guards. It's not your vision. A high-jacked mind won't see the bars. It's your decision to accept all the things as they are. The hands of deliverance cannot save benighted hearts. You're not meant to understand. You just stand under. If you want change you've got to change the course. Welcome to the killers for the cure. Only the dead have seen the end of war. For we come to the killers. What would you say if you weren't afraid? What would you say? What would you change? What would it take? Mold, regrow. We know we are the cure. Re-mold, regrow. We know -- we are the cure.

We stand upon the hands of borrowed time. All we are must be returned. We parallel the elements from the sky. With a limit to the light we burn. We're monoliths with everything to lose. A dusty abyss, obscure and diffuse. Particle, this is not your helm. Let go of control and flow as a cell. A journey by the will of the sun. We are many yet we are none. We've only just begun, we fade. Passenger, you have overstayed your welcome. Your help comes. They come with suns and spears of light. That disappear with you. You say you'll change. You misunderstand. You think you have time to kill. But time is a greater hitman. A supernova in our eyes. A sole reminder, we are finite. A supernova in our eyes. Our soul reminder, we are finite. You and me We are the passengers. Just passing through. You are not acting alone. Collide if you don't let go
