1. Man Named Hell

Through the mouth of Hell we rise
Leather up and grab your axe
There's no better time to die
Scale the walls, destroy the doors
No respect for the demon's cry
No fury like mine

Hell, Hell hath dominion of air and sky
I, reject and deny its right
Pride, selling our souls to the source of a debt,
Owed to a man named Hell

Follow us down to the man named Hell
Take back the crown from the man named Hell

The night we own, we'll claim his throne
Execute the winged spawn, their domain overrun
Burn the gates, no escape
Metal-clad we ride to die, or be free of your curse

Hell, Hell hath dominion of air and sky
I, reject and deny its right
Pride, selling our souls to the source of a debt,
Owed to a man named Hell

2. Heavy Lies The Crown

Cross, star, serpents coil
Carved in the graves that scar our soil
The living will always know war
Death, rape, greed and hate
You live or die like a cop on the take
Over your shoulder, looming black
It's hell to pay and you can't come back

Oh, heavy lies the crown
Built on the back of an army bent on doom
There's no coming back for you
Oh, heavy lies the crown
Built on the back of an army bent on doom
There's no coming back for you

Amputation
Remove the heart and we all become victims
Just a culture of slaves and whores
Liberation
Subservient to this congregation
And if the shepherd is a wolf in a robe,
Then we'd rather never know

Oh, heavy lies the crown
Built on the back of an army bent on doom
There's no coming back for you
Oh, heavy lies the crown
Built on the back of an army bent on doom
There's no coming back for you

Attack
Heavy lies the crown

Cross, star, serpents coil
Carved in the graves that scar our soil
No army formed will then stand down
Heavy lies the crown

Oh, heavy lies the crown
Built on the back of an army bent on doom
There's no coming back for you
Oh, heavy lies the crown
Built on the back of an army bent on doom
There's no coming back for you

No coming back
Cross, star, serpents coil
Carved in the graves that scar our soil
No army formed will then stand down
Heavy lies the crown

3. Bring It Down

And if it ever was a failure, control, collapse,
And let the whole thing start again
Build the machine, give it guns, give it wings
It's a homemade, homegrown, blind doomsday

Empire colonize into the teeth, society subdues
You will bow, you will beg, or stand and face your ruin
Loner, free man, wanderer and thief
We have no use for you
The cult of greater good won't abide disbelief, so get back on the grid
Got our eyes on you

An individual? A faulty gear
We will grind you down to size
You will play our game or you will die in vain
No martyr's death, you will quietly die

Bring it down, tear this tower down
Bring it down, oh down

Reject the life that's made for you
Protect what's in your heart
Live free and disobedient
Respect only to God

Bring it down, tear this tower down
Bring it down, oh down
Tear the tower down

Our anthem, our prayer, our call to men of will
Abide not one injustice, strike down what makes us ill
Become the change and catalyze, breathe revolution's air
Become the key and take it back, this world was never theirs

4. Take Me Home

The burning, the bleeding
The lifetime spent retreating
The black eyes, the white lights
The love that will not die

Now the dreams bring troubled sleep, so keep them away
Stretched along the road too thin, by too many days

Take me home
Southland's calling my name
Neither love nor man nor law could keep me away
Take me home
Southland's calling my name
Neither love nor man nor law could keep me away

He won't give, he must live
He cannot give into this
His blood cold, he craves home
The weary soldier crawls

Now the dreams bring troubled sleep, so keep them away
Stretched along the road too thin, by too many days

Take me home
Southland's calling my name
Neither love nor man nor law could keep me away
Take me home Southland's calling my name
Neither love nor man nor law won't keep me away

Take me home
Southland's calling my name
Neither love nor man nor law would keep me away
Take me home Southland's calling my name
Neither love nor man nor law won't keep me away
Neither love nor man nor law won't keep me away

5. Blood In The Gears

The gun and the tongue do the job just the same,
And under the knife you will cry my name
Impale, the reaper prevails and drags you from a cursed earth
Erased, easily replaced, another suicidal gear

Dream death, suicide nation
Blood in the gears, suicide scream
Dream death, suicide nation
Blood in the gears

The suicide machine rolls on
Blood in the gears to keep it strong
The suicide machine rolls on
Blood in the gears to keep it strong

Come now sleep, and bring me a man
Who will dream of my name
Now come leech, and drain me
The fuel to drive us all insane

Dream death, suicide nation
Blood in the gears, suicide scream
Dream death, suicide nation
Blood in the gears

The suicide machine rolls on
Blood in the gears to keep it strong
The suicide machine rolls on
Blood in the gears to keep it strong

Suicide, futile rebellion
Suicide breaking your will
Suicide, hatred turned inward
Suicide, kill the machine

Our blood in the gears, kill the machine

The suicide machine rolls on
Blood in the gears to keep it strong
The suicide machine rolls on
Blood in the gears to keep it strong

6. Dogma Enthroned

There is no hope
There is no hope

Dogma the tempter
Tormentor of souls
Fuel for all conflict
The source of all woes
Weakness and fear
A crutch for the blind
Corrupter of love
The father of lies

Reign Hell
Dogma enthroned
Reign Hell
Your mind is not your own

There is no hope
There is no hope

Like puppets we dance at the whim of the strings
And heed to the lies told to comfort our fears
We're weak, confused, and stand for nothing
With change comes no safety and that cannot be

Reign Hell
Dogma enthroned
Reign Hell
Your mind is not your own

Ubiquitous lies, no place to hide, no truth
Swallow and choke, give up the ghost, no hope
Tear out your eyes, reject this life, no truth
Rip free your mind, tradition defy, take hope

Reign hell
Dogma enthroned
Reign hell
Your mind is not your own
Reign hell
Dogma enthroned
Reign hell
Your mind is not your own

7. No Escape

No escape, this room is a cage
The bars of perception are bending his will
Dopesick and lonely, a desperate man
Voices and images swelling his head

No escape
In the mouth of madness
Find your doom
No escape
Not for a rat like you
No mercy for you vermin-kind

Hatred and envy, war and disease,
These are a few of his favorite dreams
Scratching and clawing, the mind of a rat
Praying for failure, he's not coming back

No escape
In the mouth of madness find your doom
No escape
Not for a rat like you
No mercy for your vermin-kind

No escape
No mercy for your vermin-kind
No escape
You can crawl, but we will have your life

No escape
In the mouth of madness find your doom
No escape
Not for a rat like you
No mercy for your vermin-kind

No escape
In the mouth of madness find your doom
No escape
Not for a rat like you
No mercy for your vermin-kind

8. The Crooked Path

You need a house
You need a yard
You need a wife
You need a car

You need a 5 year plan and a respectable name
Because safe and sound is the name of the game
Time share, mortgage, 401k
Consume, Consume
Bankrupt, blank eyed, but thanks for playing

I will cross the crooked path
I will live what all men dream
I will break colossus' grip and tear free of the beast
I will cross the crooked path
I will live what all men dream
I will break colossus' grip and tear free of the beast

You're not a man, you're just a pawn
You may be free, but not for long
You may be black, you may be white,
Under the heel you have no rights

So find a suburb, good school, big TV
Consume, Consume
And fill the hole with distractions, be entertained
Consume, Consume
(The endless light)

I will cross the crooked path
I will live what all men dream
I will break colossus' grip and tear free of the beast
I will cross the crooked path
I will live what all men dream
I will break colossus' grip and tear free of the beast

I will cross the crooked path
I will live what all men dream
I will break colossus' grip and tear free of the beast
I will cross the crooked path
I will live what all men dream
I will break colossus' grip and tear free of the beast

Oh, bring it on, boys

9. Graveyard Of Empires

War
Empire, the heretic dream, a man who would make his will law
Endless, by conquest provide, spend your tomorrow, the call
Helpless, the people subdued, nation upon nation falls
The victor spoils your hard earned toils
Submit or be destroyed

Paranoia, terrorize, welfare, warfare, state as God

Liars and prophets of doom, forsaking tomorrow today
Ten thousand feet march to you home and bring taxes or death
The merciless aries

Sky bound, looking for the high ground,
But the graveyard of empires is what we found
Sky bound, looking for the high ground,
But the graveyard of empires is what we found

Willful, most arrogant man, pretensions to holy thrones
Central, his tentacles reach into each and all of our homes
Deadly, the will is consumed, the head and the heart are weighed down
Resist, do not submit, we'll burn this empire to the ground
Let's burn it to the ground

Sky bound, looking for the high ground,
But the graveyard of empires is what we found
Sky bound, looking for the high ground,
But the graveyard of empires is what we found

March, the grave will find you soon
One million voices strong, the angry voice of doom
March, you colonizing fools
The endless call of war, your life is just the fuel

Breathe lies and propaganda
War is the only peace
Bow down to the majority
Receive the grisly fruits of war
The merciless aries

10. Diggin' My Own Grave

Whatever thrills you, takes your place
Who's gonna kiss you, with no face?
Who tried to kill you, what's his name?
Look in the mirror, can't escape

Cause I'm diggin' my own grave
And I'm diggin' my own grave

Who's gonna miss you when you're gone?
Who's gonna dig you your grave?
Dig your grave

Will you leave this world a gift,
Or fly an albatross in your wake?

Cause I'm diggin' my own grave
And I'm diggin' my own grave
(Oh, dig that grave)

It's a lonely, lovely road, every step nearer your grave
Every mile farther from home, another year, another place
A traveler lives a thousand lives, can't take them with him anyway
Got too much to see, too many memories to take

Cause I'm diggin' my own grave
And I'm diggin' my own grave

Cause I'm diggin' my own grave
And I'm diggin' my own grave
Cause I'm diggin' my own grave
And I'm diggin' my own grave
Oh yeah
