Born Empty

Born empty with nothing to lose
Given the illusion of the freedom to choose
Taught to conform, taught how to behave
Then left to rot, threadbare and afraid
No helping hands and no loving embrace
A bleak existence enmired in shame
On the horizon we see our fate
Nothingness, futility
Forced onward, everything to lose
Burdened with confusion, all our progress a ruse
We climbed the mountain, climbed out of our graves
We rose from ashes and we are not afraid
No fucking masters, no gods, and no kings
Won’t bow my head, I won’t kiss any rings
Your time is ending, we know your names
Armageddon
We sharpen our blades
No masters, no gods, no kings
No helping hands and no loving embrace
A bleak existence enmired in shame
On the horizon our legion assembles
The ruling classes tremble
No fucking masters, no gods, and no kings
Won’t bow my head, I won’t kiss any rings
Your kingdom is rotten, putrid, and depraved
On our blades we carve your names

Hang The Masters High
03:14

Melt the crowns of the kings
Make the blades for the guillotines
Collective power, collective eyes
Hand in hand we burn the empire of lies
Boots on our necks for too long
We’re done with being your pawns
Unified power, unified aims
Now we have nothing to lose but our chains
All we’ve ever know is degradation
Everywhere I look I see mutilation
You eat our young, you drink our blood
We’ll break the dams and bring on the flood
Take the swords from their sheaths
Crush your skulls under the stampede
We’ll never falter, we’ll never hide
No hesitation - regicide
Build the gallows up high
Sun is shining in the sky
Clock is ticking, don’t close your eyes
The blade drops and it’s time to die
All we’ve ever know is degradation
Everywhere I look I see mutilation
You eat our young, you drink our blood
We’ll break the dams and bring on the flood
We’ll break the dams and bring on the flood
No divine rights
No noble blood lines
No divine rights
Hang the masters high
Build the gallows up high
Sun is shining in the sky
Clock is ticking, don’t close your eyes
The blade drops and it’s time to die
The blade drops now it’s time to fucking die

Unbuild
04:22
|

Trapped and lost, disoriented
Our suffering is never-ending
Stuck on board a burning hull
We can’t abandon ship
Our only hope is
Kill the captain where everyone can see
Expropriation from sea to sea
Loot the looters
It’s time to seize
Our future
Cursed
Until we recognize:
All solids dissipate, all that is holy is profaned
We, degraded, are forced to face a labyrinth crafted by The Ancient
A machine forged in their own image grips and drags and tears asunder
Our grief, our heartache, our yearning, our serpentine chains pull us under
Don’t you know the end is near?
Don’t stop now there’s no time for fear
Can’t you see? The end is here
All you’ve done is sow wreckage on abounding fields
Everyone must look inward - we are the dispossessed
All we know must be erased as we unbuild ourselves
Everything disintegrates into the abyss
The Earth begs you to wither away
All desire must be abandoned
Return to the wild eyes open wide
Or become the last generation

Open the gates, the masses writhe
A specter is haunting, biding its time
The heartbeat of a people destined to rise
Spirit of resistance coming to life
From the womb to the grave
Relentlessly showered with hate
A wedge driven ‘tween mother and son
They laugh as our houses burn
The sun is setting, hear the thunder clap
No quarter - hold nothing back
Lift your voices to the enemy’s call
Until the last blade falls
In the forest the whispers thrive
Undulation of the hivemind
The consciousness of a people returning through time
Spirit of the giants alive in our eyes
From the fields where we stood
Loyalty forged without blood
Arms locked - this trust we’ve earned
We laugh as your castles burn
Feel the lightning crack in the sky
There’s power in your eyes
The sun sets, hear the thunder clap
No quarter - hold nothing back
Lift your voices to the enemy’s call
Until the last blade falls
Draw your blades, tighten your hold
Breach the walls, slit every throat
Nock your arrows, draw back your bows
Our minds united, we are not alone
Lift your voices so our enemy knows
We carry our vengeance where’er the wind blows
