Лирика

1. Rise, Rebel, Resist

Perfect little spouses
In perfect little houses
Its family fun time
Lets commit a hatecrime

...If I cant be loved,
Then I'll be hated

I'm disconnected
I'm uninspired
I'm burning in water
I'm drowning in fire

I'm trapped inside my mind
Beneath these piles of stinking life
You use this abuse to keep me conquered
You're so absurdly common

Vacant faces
Brainless strangers

Sputtering, stuttering insect language
I'm the creature you created
Everyday I grow jaded
Calloused and exaspered

If I'll never be loved
Then I'll be hated

I'm the one of the freaks, the faggots, the geeks, the savages, rouges, rebels, dissident devils, artists, martyrs,
infidels...

Do we sit still
Under attack

Or do we start pushing back?

Never back up
Never back down

And Fight
Rise, Rebel, Resist
Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist
Rise, rebel, resist
Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist

I'm human pollution
I covet retribution
I'm just a big mistake
A defect you can subjugate

Your ridicule is just typical antics
Spineless, mindless, tragic, fanatic

Puritan, bigot, lunatic, hypocrite

To save my soul from disaster
Self destruction could be the answer

If I'll never be loved
Then I'll be hated

I'm the one of the freaks, the faggots, the geeks, the savages, rouges, rebels, dissident devils, artists, martyrs,
infidels...

Do we sit still
Under attack

Or do we start pushing back?

Never back up
Never back down

And Fight
Rise, Rebel, Resist
Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist
Rise, rebel, resist
Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist

Masochistic
So sadistic
All they see is another statistic

Maybe I'm a misfit, maybe I'm different
It will never be an average existence

Masochistic
So sadistic
All they see is another statistic

If I cant be loved
Then I'll be hated

Its family fun time
Lets commit a hatecrime

WAR WAR

Rise, Rebel, Resist
Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist
Rise, rebel, resist
Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist

We are the freaks, the faggots, the geeks, the savages, rouges, rebels, dissident devils, artists, martyrs, infidels...

Do we sit still
Under attack

Or do we start pushing back?

Never back up
Never back down
And Fight

WAR WAR

2. Sweet Tooth

(I swear
By my sin-loving soul

I can taste your sins
All over me)

I see broken angels
With splintered halos

I'm the serpent
Swallowed by the sun

My gentle obsession with
Corrupt nutrition

I can taste the madness
Dripping from my tongue

Between the spaces to
Scratch the itch

My sins of excess
Prove to me that I exist

My lips drip
Secrets of the flesh

They fold into a blade
And beg "make me wet"

I can't help myself
SWEET TOOTH

Seduced by my obsession
I'll build my own religion
So I can taste the secret places
That set you on fire

(You are my favorite)
Most dangerous
Fascination)

Tempt me devil
Teach me what you think I need

Her fingers are Caesar
Slowly conquering me

We move like Buddhas
Twisted in a silent scream

Our souls explode
& merge with the Shiva frequency

The meat is sweet
Is it love? or is it lies?

To burn in the heat
Of the fire in her eyes

My lips drip
A soft song of love and flesh

That folds into a blade
And beg "make me wet"

I can't help myself
SWEET TOOTH

Seduced by my obsession
I'll build my own religion
So I can taste the secret places
That set you on fire

Tempt me
Teach me
Feed me
Heal me

I feel like being bad

The tyrant of my desire
A blushing rosebud begging to be plucked

I feel like being....

Inside you baby
It was an atomic testing site

Explosive, corrosive
But oh, what a delight

They say the body's a temple
& desires a sacrifice

Devils speak, angels weep
For my SACRED APPETITES

Seduced by my obsession
I'll build my own religion
So I can taste the secret places
That set you on fire

Explosive, corrosive
But oh, what a delight

Devils speak, angels weep
For my sweet tooth's sacrifice

...take my temperature baby
This is what you taste like

When our souls collide
I can conquer everything
That defeats me in life

Feed me
Eat me
Drink me

Promise I'll never be bored
And I'll be yours tonight

THIS IS WHAT YOU TASTE LIKE
THIS IS WHAT YOU TASTE LIKE
THIS IS WHAT YOU TASTE LIKE

3. Smash The Control Machine

(With the perfect hair
And the perfect wife
And the perfect kids
And the perfect life
I will finally be somebody...)

(Let's play born-again American, resistance is the game!)

Two pigs wearing suits
Brought the news
That I'm wanted by the bank

They say the rent is due
Caesar's onto you
So you better remember your place

Then they outsourced my job
And gave a raise to my boss

Bailed out the banks
But billed me for the loss

They say we must submit
And be one with the Machine

Because the Kingdom of Fear
Needs compliance to succeed

So waterboard the kids for fun
It's all the rage

And play born-again American
Resistance is the game

SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
Work, buy, consume, die

SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
Happy little slaves for minimum wage

(The revolution will be monetized
And streamed live via renegade WiFi)

The clinic said I'm sick
Toxic..... and impure

But there isn't any cure
For the poor or uninsured

So we live our digital lives
On multiple screens

And we forget that
The blood of the workers
Grease the machines

In the Psalm of the Fiends
Love...... discriminates

While the fat cats feed the rats
Their daily dose of cake

So waterboard the kids for fun
It's all the rage

And play born-again American
Resistance is the game

SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
Work, buy, consume, die

SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
Happy little slaves for minimum wage

SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
Work, buy, consume, die

SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
Haters, betrayers, liars, and thieves

(America)

She sold her soul
For designer clothes

For the perfect lips
And the perfect nose

The winner in the end
Always owns the most

Reality tv told her so!

(Mammonites)

Money changer!
Greedy bankers!

This is the Peoples House!

My minister has a sinister plan
To save my soul with a credit card scam

Exploitation is contagious
For the selfish & self-inflated

Start a war, use the poor,
Watch our profits soar & soar

We've become a nation of wolves
Ruled by sheep

Owned by swine
Overfed & put to sleep

And while the media's elite
Decrees what to think

I am wide awake
On the edge
And on the brink

So when Atlas shrugs
And The Fountainhead bleeds
And when Walstreet Apostles
Preach a gospel of greed

I'll renounce the fame of this gluttonous age
And be a Born-again American
Resistance is to blame!

SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
Work, buy, consume, die

SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
Haters, betrayers, liars, and theives

SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
A nation of wolves – ruled by sheep!

Exploitation is contagious
Exploitation is contagious
Exploitation is contagious
Exploitation...

4. Head

In that final look
Does the deer forgive the wolf?

You've stolen my fascination
You've amothered my holy addiction

And now I'm soaked in you
Like fat white worms or sad haikus

I woke up
& the worldwas on the fire

I woke up
& the swine had conspired

To erase all the faith
That I have in the human race

I woke up
& the world was on fire

It's all in your head
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee

Are they shepherds?
Or are they sheep?
Are we the butchers?
Or are we meat?

In this nest of lies
Living a life under siege
We sink in the stink
& I need my disease

It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
This neverending ordinary monarchy

Beneath the toxic water
Where my secrets come to meet
In catacombs of shadow
& wet skies of mystery

I found a soggy savior
A painted lady made of eyes
She sings to me, my deceit
"your life is a lie"

I woke up
& the world was on fire

I woke up
& the swine had conspired

To erase all the faith
That I have in the human race

I woke up
& the world
Was
On
Fire

It's all in your head
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee

Are they shepherds?
Or are they sheep?
Are we the butchers?
Or are we meat?

In this nest of lies
Living a life under siege
We sink in the stink
& I need my disease

It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
This neverending ordinary monarchy

If we stand too still,
They're gonna eat us alive!

Watch your tongue,
Teach them young...

Medicate the mutiny.
Better living through chemistry
Self destruction's patriotic.
Money fixes everything.

Wach your tongue,
Teach them young...

We're taught
To love & hate
To fight & obey...

I've lost my mind,
But I've found my way

(in this nest of lies
Every wall has eyes)

It's all in your head
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee

Are they shepherds?
Or are they sheep?
Are we the butchers?
Or are we meat?

In this nest of lies
Living a life under siege
We sink in the stink
& I need my disease

It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
This neverending ordinary monarchy

5. Numb & Dumb

I'm tired of being tired
Sick of being sick

I'm tired of being tired
Sick of being sick

Erase & escape
The meathooks of reality

Erase & escape
The meathooks of reality

Lock the door
Load your guns
& pray for nothing!

(I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care)

And daddy's shooting smack
And mama's smoking crack
And teacher is a sex addict
And preacher has a porn habit
And sister's such a whore
And my life is a bore

.take your vitamins
.whiten your teeth
.comb your hair
.know when to speak

They say jesus was a masochist
But maybe they said, pacifist...

Sweet goddess of narcotics
On my knees I pray
Just give me one more dose
& make it all go away

Make me completely numb & dumb

(Watch your tone, obey the law,
Know when to bend, believe in god)

I took his wife into my mouth
Like a slice of wedding cake
I went back for extra helpings
& then I clean my plate

Still covered in her yolk
The wet drug of my addiction
I'm nature's little criminal
A selfish crucifixion

Of sweet scarecrow in the sky
You have all the answers
But we will never die

Sweet goddess of narcotics
On my knees I pray
Just give me one more dose
& make it all go away

Make me completely
Numb & dumb

I ran out the front door
The devil's at the backdoor
Whispering to the sea

& above
A black feathered sun
Drunk on teenage meat

I don't care,
I don't care
I don't care,
I don't care

Make me completely numb & dumb

Medicate & sedate
Pass the punishment
I need another fix

6. Oh, So Surreal

I wish I didn't know
What I know

I wish I could pretend
Like they do

If I could
I would

Smile &
Forget

& there's a child
Out on the battlefield

A pistol in each hand
He trades a kill for a meal

& it's oh, so surreal
& it's oh, so surreal

& there's a man
Standing on top of a hill

Screaming freedom for some
But all others must kneel

& it's oh, so surreal
& it's oh, so surreal

Apathy is so hip
Everyone's doing it

In your sterile life
In your sterile life

A little girl's lost
On the streets of L.A.

She complains about the sharks
But plays the part of the prey

& it's oh, so surreal
& it's oh, so surreal

& children
Will go to sleep hungry tonight

While our dumpsters overflow
With our careless delights

& it's oh, so surreal
& it's oh, so surreal

Apathy is so hip
Everyone's doing it

In your sterile life
In your sterile life

Apathy is so hip
Everyone's doing it

In your sterile life
In your sterile life

(Antiseptic ways)

I don't care
But I lie
Never feel
Never try
Empty people
Empty steeple

If all the oppotunists
& leaders of men
Were forced to fight
In the wars they begin

If we could starve the rich
& hurt the cruel

If we could take revenge
& leave it all in ruins

What would you do?
What would you do?

What would you do
If we did it to YOU?

Apathy is so hip

Now, there's silence
Now like the lips of the dead

Now, there's silence
Turning inside my head

Smile & forget
Pretend like they do
Smile & forget
Pretend like they do

Apathy is so
Everybody's doing it
Apathy is so
Everybody's doing it

(& children
Will go to sleep hungry tonight)

7. Run For Cover

You have 7 more seconds to decipher your life
Before my tongue becomes a blade & your brain gets sliced
I warned you before I'm addicted to war
I was preying for armageddon on the day I was born

Incite & ignite
Cried my muse
Elevating IQ's as I enter the room

It's elemental
Defying gravity with these
Lyrical miracles & street philosophies

It's the chosen child
Destroying idols like a pentium

Processor, throw these rocks atcha
I be the queen weaving dreams with supreme lectures

Infect ya, lyrically dissect ya
I got control of your soul so no gods can protect ya

"you betcha"!
We can set ya free best believe that this tribe of mystery
Was born and bred to conceive

Brilliant galaxies of mind expanding poetry
Enemies know it's me, armed with mental weaponry

Ain't no testin' me, the tribe comes prepared to get live
You're just a drone to the hive, ain't no way you'll survive

Ravage
Vanquish
Mangle
Destroy

RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER

NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE

RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER

NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE

Ripped at the seams
I destroy galaxies

Word becomes flesh
I bring nations to its knees

So feel the blast as this broad casts
Out any doubt that real rhymes last

Its the voice of the apocalypse
The god of war

With Osiri's esophagus
An omnivore

Take you higher than the Krsna consciousness
From gotham to metropolis the lesser gods eradicates the obvious

We fight for all of us so get up off the ground
Weapon systems armed it's about to go down

IT'S FOR THE CROWN!

Ravage
Vanquish
Mangle
Destroy

RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER

NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE

RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER

NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE

Craven!

There will be blood
On my fists
On your face
On the ground around us

This is pain
Have to taste
I'm addicted to the rush

Of bruises & bloodstains
Dark god in my veins

I will hate it all away
No, nothing will remain

The enemy is me!
You weak, ineffectual plebe!

Even jesus worship me,
I bow down to none

Your little light is like a candle
Trying to outshine the sun

RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER

NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE

Inside my mind
Where heaven & hell collide
You won't survive
Suck!
& swallow your pride
Suck!
& swallow pride

No one gets out alive

The enemy is me
The enemy is me

8. Kisses & Kerosene

I wish
I could have you
Here

In my clutches

To remove the excuses from your mind
To part that haze and slice your soul to pieces

To sing a lullaby as I tied you to the slab
To shave your head with a dulling razor

As you watch
In the splattered mirror above you

To break your ribs individually
With a rock hammer

To shatter your shin bones
With a shovel

To burn your fingers & toes
To a necrotic black
With liquid nitrogen

To crack your teeth
With a splintered club

To pierce your limbs
With a nail gun

To silence your cries
To laugh in your eyes

To sharpen my favorite slicing device
And take your arms ah the elbows

To keep u alive
For a few moments longer

To smell your fear
To cover your body
With kisses & kerosene

To watch u burn
As my human sacrifice
To hear you
Scream in agony

The popping
Of your flesh
Crackling
As it cooks

To feel your child smile
The one u betrayed
The one you took

For nothing
For selfishness

...in a
Pefect world
I would get
My wish.

9. Unveiled

Isis, ishtar,
Hecate, kali

Isis, ishtar,
Hecate, kali

Come to me...

I'm sharpening my halo
Into forest horns

I've sanctifying pages
In the protocols of war

I've abolished your mythology
& vaniquished all your gods

I've liberated your women
& cradicated your laws

I put books in the temple
To annihilate the lie

I broke the bones of Kronos
To restore what was mine

Made of flame
Made of mud
I'm the many
I'm the one

All the children sing along
Thank god for the atom bomb

...thank god for the atom bomb

Isis, ishtar,
Hecate, kali

I've got a splinter in my finger
From carrying the cross

I sleep on sheets of sulphur
& dream of all we've lost

I travel iron oceans
Singing sinful songs

To hypnotise & defy
Sex-starved lonely gods

I'm the woman clothed with the sun
The moon beneath my feet

I'm the silver spear of athena
The tongue of kali

Made of flame
Made of mud
I'm the many
I'm the one

All the children sing along
Thank god for the atom bomb

...thank god for the atom bomb

Demon
Daughter
Monster
Whore

Obey
Good little slave

Better behave & watch the words you say
Ownership laws apply
You can break my bones with jagged stones
But I will never comply

Impotent breeder
Flaccid leader

Earth & snakes
Fires & quakes

What once was lost
Will be replaced

All that was
All that is
All that will ever be

Shed the veil
Shed the veil
Unveiled

10. Ur A Wmn Now

Stars litter the sky
The moon is shining high

This soft, September night
Two lovers creep out of sight

A maiden dressed in white
With copper hair

Restless for adventure
She don't care

That the wolf is in disguise
She's been ensnared

He got the devil in his eyes
& stylish flair

He shoves her to the ground
Her soul begins to drown

A sky full of eyes where the stars should be
A sky full of eyes watching silently

You're a woman now
You've become a women now

The weight of the cradle has broken the bough
You've become a woman now

Mama woke me up at dawn
She helped me get my best dress on

She braided flowers in my hair
So sweet was the summer air

I'm to meet my groom down by the sea
A perfect stranger to correct me

The judges arrive in pairs of 3
Don't be scared, just relax & breathe

Good girls hold real still
Surrender your free will

They cracked the crown
To pluck the pearl

Here, on the jagged edge
Of the world

You're a woman now
You've become a woman now

The weight of the cradle has broken the bough
You've become a woman now

Standing on the welfare line
My daughter clinging to my side

I see the faith in her eyes
I whisper, baby we will be fine

I'll get a good job
& we'll find a new place

I'll work real hard
& we'll make our escape

I promise you I will get us through
Together we will bloom

You're a woman now
You've become a woman now

The weight of the cradle has broken the bough
You've become a woman now

You're a woman now
You're a woman now
You're a woman now

11. Serv Asat

To exterminate the plague
Coiling my brain

I put the pen to the pad
Until the madness drains

Cuz words are colossal
Aggressive not docile

Infectious like a brothel
No need to get hostile

Calling all apostles
United we stand

They bleeding out they nostrils
I'm wicked with hands

Throwing vicious combinations
Witness devastation

I just fucked your soul
Annihilation

Feel the sensation
Tickle & grow

Spreading over your mind
& taking control

A noble savage on a rampage
War is all that I know

Feeding hungry heads
Defeating all your heros

Art saves
Make the pain
A weapon you can use

Art saves
Make the pain
A weapon you can use

From the moment I wake
It rains grenades

So I scribble on the page
& reality fades

I walk the scottish moors
With pagans on forest floors

Test the sacraments
& conjure up thunderstorms

I hunt with Cernunnos
& dance with satyrs

Conquer Rome in a day
& battle armored invaders

Infested with ticks
This existence is shit

All these traitors in the trees
While the napalms drips

Words burn their lips
Like old roach clips

Holy as I
Infected by this

Art saves
Make the pain
A weapon you can us

Art saves
Make the pain
A weapon you can use

Serv
Asat

I liberate the devils in my head
Through the paragraphs crafted by my pen

These demons drip on the page
My blind multi-eyed children of rage

I coulda took a bat to the back of his head
Or dropped a napalm bomb on the bed as she slept

But I split
& wrote it down instead

At least now you know
Who you're fucking with

I'm sick
But I'm free

You're weak
& I'm built for the siege

(burn)

Serv asat

Art saves
Make the pain
A weapon you can use

Art saves
Make the pain
A weapon you can use

Serv
Asat

Serv
Asat

12. Where The River Ends

Come
With me

I will let you see with my words
I will let you burn & observe

But where I go
You can only follow

So close your eyes
Open your mind

...and see

Somewhere
Out in the dark

A car pulls up
& parks

& the passenger
Shifts nervously in her seat
& butterflies
Flutter in her belly

& the driver
Shuts off the engine
& moves a little close

She giggles a little
As he unbuttons her blouse

She pushes him away
& he whispers,
"aw baby, don't be that way.
I took you out, I treated you right.
Now, don't put up a fight.
Come on.
I only want to put the tip in.
Don't fight, don't fight. come on.
This is all your fault you know.
Just relax, let me do what I gotta do
& I'll let you go.

Don't you love me?
Don't you love me?

DON'T YOU LOVE ME?

Breathe in deep
A sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth
& I must scream

Brethe in deep
A sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth...

And somewhere
In a normal neighborhood
In a normal house

A normal family
Is falling part

And down the hall
The little ones hide

Frozen as fossils
As their mother cries

Listening
Now that the others have gone silent

The walls blister
As sister rises in defiance

Here
In the depths of the labyrinth
She will make her mark

She travels the cavern
Searching for the Minotaur

& she finds him
Asleep in the heat
Of his triumphs

A sparkle of flame
Flickers in hey eye

She nudges him softly
And says, "Daddy, wanna give me a try?"

And he rumbles a roar,
"You must lick honey from a thorn
If you are to survive this night"

And she says, "no, I'd rather pick a fight."

And he reaches out and she's on the attack
And he's face down and she straddles his back

Ans has the moonlight fades from his eyes
She sighs,
"come on, what's the matter?"

Don't you love me?
Don't you love me?

DON'T YOU LOVE ME?

Breathe in deep
A sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth
& I must scream

Breathe in deep
A sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth AND I MUST SCREAM!

Whate we are
You too will become

Liberated children
Of a bloody-hungry god

Sedition!

They used to HANG women like me,
Strange fruit of the poplar tree!

They used to OWN women like me,
Necessary accessories!

They use to BURN women like me,
To quell the fires of liberty

In the blessed fertile orescent,
THEY STILL STONE WOMEN LIKE ME!

And one day you will say
Just look at her now!

...and as everything fades to black
...and as the jackals laugh in the aftermath

I'm not yours anymore

13. I Remember

Who's there?
Who's there?

And I remember
Flashes of laughter
And lunatics
Lost in the asylum
Seductive propaganda
Scrolling across my mind
Like guerilla cinema.

Belts and wooden spoons
Flies in the afterbirth
Like shadows across my brain
And crawling on linoleum kitchens
Streaming death and corporate concienceness into my brain
And cracked porclein sinks stuffed with
Dirty dishes.

The early morning anxiety of gradeschool
Dark stockings to hide the bruises.
Secret friends and festive holidays
And everyone in their sunday best
Pretending to like each other.

For generations and generations of
Sad mistakes.
Stealing away in the dead of night to
Escape the stiff jawed henchmen in the hungry trucks
Of an angry slumlord miles and miles away.

Impatient and understanding
Waking on the side of the road
Hissing radiator hoses cracked like
Burned skin.
Days so hot a nuclear holocaust would've felt like siberian blizzard.

And I remember
The first time I felt it alive inside me
Turning the deadweight
Moving within the folds of its winged embrace
Opening and sliding those black feathers
Inches at a time.
Those feet
Pushing and digging into the membrane
Deep enough to cause pregnancy
And I remember it going numb
And listening to it hum
And I feel it move in its mysteries
Exploring me
And I remember this
And I know
I never had a chance.
There's never any escaping it.
