They refuse to see how far we’ve fallen We can’t be anymore than they’ve permitted Our worlds have changed We are no longer who we used to be Individualism is becoming a unified entity Suggestions of change fall upon deaf ears A blind eye turned on god given freedoms The taste of death lingers in your mouth Touch of the reaper, you’re in his grasps This rampage Is the only thing that will save our fates from oppression The vacuum of rage is never ending The fury we feel is all we need The pain we felt is enough inspiration To see how red is the blood you’ll bleed We’ve brought shame Upon our forefathers graves And the only chance for redemption is to Fight for your life Let go of all your secrets (Theres blood in my eyes, and I can’t see) Give in to the new salvation (What my culture is doing to me) Through slavery we are reborn (Losing my sense of self worth) Truth is found in integration (Liberty must be my curse) But like hell we will surrender With revolution in our hearts we shall not falter Subjugated to an endless cycle of slaughter Like hell we will surrender Break out the call to arms This is an all out war All of our brothers have been laid to rest And so we march against these heathens, I detest Flags dripping wet with the tears of man Armies of able vs legions of Cain Look where we are, right where we began Alone and scared on a desolate plain Wars over But there was no solution, no armastice No happy ending, No valiant heroes to be given medals All due to our ignorant Terms of Enrampagement

Crimes Of Passion 04:34
lyrics

Your Majesty, I commend thee Your viciousness matched only by your bloodlust The sheer senselessness of it all drives me mad with grief So if I'm damned at least you're coming along for the ride Since a little boy I admired the nobility Dreaming of the days when I could end my families poverty Day in and day out I would look upon his majesty Gallantly riding his noble steeds backed up by Calvary Everything changed one fateful day when a prophecy was made That the ruler, once the slaver, soon would become the enslaved Maddened and drunk on power, the king sought out a way to avoid This catastrophic class war that threatened to usurp his throne Rounding up every family residing in the slums He murdered them in cold blood Little did he know, he created an assassin when he took away the only thing that tied me to this kingdom Now instead of dreaming of a day when I become king I lay awake dreaming of the day I destroy him I feel I should start with the raping of his princess Let him experience what he did to his servants Blood will run down like water to mountains Tonights the night Tonight your life Tonight I take everything you love away from you When you look upon your altar you will see your precious daughter and queen bound and writhing helplessly trying to scream out warnings But by then it'll be too late and as you lay there bleeding out The last thing that you see will be your whole family dead...and defiled Everything will have finally come full circle Now my families afterlives can be carefree and peaceful Yet as I begin to walk away I feel a realization Vengeance now complete, I sit and contemplate My actions tonight that have led me to such a place Though my intentions true and my revenge well earned I cannot help but feel as if I made a mistake When I found that letter The order came from another Done by another, murder's my color Now a killer it doesn't matter Works not done yet, I have nothing left I will find him, The High Priest

Some Men Just Want To Watch The World Burn 04:18
lyrics

We are the victims of Irrational martyrdom Cursed by the past generations Doomed to burn out like dying suns Born into hatred of Any living soul different than us Scriptures taught and bastardized to train us against compromise Xenophobia is an acceptable course of action when someone else's beliefs contradict yours Scared into submission Forced into patriotism Warned against revolution Individualism is dead When the towers fell, our morals fell with them And genocide was no longer taboo, but rather state sanctioned We're regressing back to the antiquated methods of 1939 But the fallible logic and hate filled tirades are yours, not mine These transgressions shall not prevail and you and your yippe-ki-yays can all go to hell We the people has become bastardized But I won't allow the rest of us to be subsidized Mission Accomplished Destruction of our brothers Thank God for Bullets We will be the children lost to time Thank your god for causing our demise Then thank yourself for denying us life We will be the children lost to time

I think that someones trying to sue me By fucking us up and destroying our cred We are playing this in a different tuning And you'll notice that I sound nothing like Brent Smallz made us changed the lyrics Luigi is scared they'll deport him I thought hangover didn't need a sequal The first accomplished it's goal on it's own We need more words to fill in this next line (Indistinguishable gurgling) Jazz needs to find a home Damien should try to get a job This song is not called Blood and Thunder Because that name is trademarked I bet you would've bought this album If we didn't ruin this song But how the hell can you hear this this doesn't make much sense These lyrics created a paradox On to the last funny chorus part We still love Mastodon Just not enough to pay royalties

Love is black, and you're a lost cause Your life's in remission, and it's my fault Without me, you'd've never gotten this far So it's only right that you hear this part For so many years I've taken all your bull shit Lies and mistrust, I've had enough of it I looked ahead, saw the end, so you're full of it I just hate the fact that its come to this! Now you've gone, to the arms of another To be consoled by none other 3 years of my life down the drain I'll make sure the rest of yours is the same "Life goes on" was all you could say 3 little words cause so much pain Fear is true, I see it in your eyes The realization that your life is now mine )Run still, your life will grow old, solitarily Cold as ice my heart no longer Why were we only a secret We could see the earth curve How could this joy turn to pain so quicklly Now I know Where I stood Used me up and Wore me out then Danced in my head Left me for dead No emotions You repress them All your secrets Only I know them

Awakening To Desolation 03:30
lyrics

I've heard many things as the days roll on From planet smashers to detonations of atomic bombs Great wars covering the land in blood The very sun blocked out by ash and soot The return of the Christ, or his counterpart come to rob us of soul, empathy and heart 2012 doomsday apocalypse But to me it all sounds like a load of shit But enlightenment, the idea that everyone will awaken within a period of unmatched harmony, mutual understanding and unity Wouldn't it be nice? Everybody holding hands as we join the light But what if when we enter out we don't like what we find? Insanity brought on by joining of our minds Awakening to Desolation Awakening to Desolation Imagine every fucked up thought you've ever had, multiplied by Every murderer and psychopath alive Schizophrenia lived out for the rest of time Omniscience has a price, visuals solidify, heaven and hell unify, into one Individualism gives way to hive mind Losing our way over unyielding skies The vast landscape of time stretched out before us Will we like what we find? An unending stream of every souls consciousness Will we like what we find? Armageddon comes alive when we decide Armageddon comes alive Armageddon comes alive when we decide Armageddon comes alive

Worst Bedtime Story Ever 05:44

Unprovoked war, funded by fear tactics History henceforth will be written in civilian blood But no one cares about ramifications What’s a billion lives when the moneys good Our voices will be drowned out under missile fire We have no say in the matter, the speaker does not recognize you Discussions closed, the doors are shut, start barricading your homes Don’t be surprised when they’re busting down your door We always knew it would come to this Oh ignorance, how I miss your bliss There will be no winner, there will be no peace There will be no order, the fighting won’t cease The earth will be torn apart by our arrogance No warning will be heeded, we’ve squandered our final chance Fear these days Fear these days Fear these days, and prepare yourselves Logic is dead, where it was now chaos dwells Don’t bother pleading for your lives You won’t be needing it with a bullet in your eyes Fear these days, and prepare yourselves Logic is dead, where it was now chaos dwells Don’t bother pleading for your lives You won’t be needing it with a bullet in your eyes Listen closely, Do you hear the trumpets in the night? Who would’ve guessed that out of anyone, the Mormons would be right? It’s kind of funny, in a fucked up twisted kind of way Imagine all the facebook statuses that you would’ve seen....if not for the EMP Might as well laugh, after all it’s all just a vicious gag It’s all just a vicious gag It’s all just a vicious gag It’s all just a vicious gag It’s all just a vicious gag It’s all just a vicious gag

)We are Rebels Sworn to Defeat the Empire Blow up the death star Pushed around for far too long You may have all the credits but we're numbers strong I bet you thought that you'd won the fight But you forgot we have the ewoks on our side You tried to stop us with an evil scheme To turn our hero Luke into the apprentice of your dreams But as you see the light prevails over the dark And the alliance will have left our mark Palpatine, you've betrayed us for the last time (your reign is at its end) Watch your boy Vader throw you down the core (We've brought the battle to your door) Our once peaceful worlds besmirched by greed( corrupted by malevolent deeds) We'll erase every trace of you from history We are Rebels We are Legion We are Rebels We are Legion I'll rip, the life, straight from, your bones Your throne will, collapse under, the weight of, your blood I'll rip, the life, straight from, your bones Your throne will, collapse under, the weight of your blood I wish I'd seen through that bullshit smile you charmed the senators but you were evil all the while We should've known the Clone Wars were a ruse We never had a chance, it was destiny to lose You took from us the Chosen One phasers shouldn't have been set to stun Windu's death was just a prefix To the horror of Execute Order 66 Palpatine, you've betrayed us for the last time (your reign is at its end) Watch your boy Vader throw you down the core (We've brought the battle to your door) Our once peaceful worlds besmirched by greed( corrupted by malevolent deeds) We'll erase every trace of you from history

From Revilement To Ruin 04:32
lyrics

To my eyes I see a waste A defilement to my creations of clay Thou hast wrought upon thyselves a fury which you all may pray is never seen again To the depths of hell are you all condemned Don't even bother trying to repent I gave to you the blessed river Jordan and in response you give me rage and war I gave to you salvation through Abraham and in response you give me sin galore Wicked heathens, kneel before your god for soon you will know his wrath Cherish these hours for they'll soon be gone Your budding future now returned to ash Look not upon the ashes, Look not upon the flames Look not upon the ruin, or a pillar you shall remain I often wonder when alone, if maybe I made a mistake In trusting such a young and stupid creation with their own fate Could it be that I, the creator , the omnipotent in forsaking my archangels fell pray to arrogance? Though I offered mercy and everlasting forgiveness to you all You repaid me in kind with the raping of angels and so I damn you all Cursed Humans I often wonder when alone, if maybe I made a mistake In trusting such a young and stupid creation with their own fate Could it be that I, the creator , the omnipotent in forsaking my archangels fell pray to arrogance? As I look down upon the cities, as the flames take their toll I cannot shake this feeling that I'm the one who should atone For clearly I must have made a mistake, a miscalculation For perfect beings in my perfect image can't deserve such devastation The storm's behind me now, and yet I feel hallow Powerful though I am, it seems not all invincible Emotionally vested in these creatures of mud and dust What makes them infinitely more important then the universe?

History (A Reprise) 05:16
lyrics

Their eyes beat down on me like desert heat I drown in a sea of critiques The worlds not satisfied with live and let live These people all act like machines My life has been a giant Social disembowelment There is no higher dishonor Then putting logic before Country God and Altar Irrelevant are your morals, inconsequential is your life Everything you think is wrong, sit down and shut up you're here for the long haul Activism is a thought best left to hippies and liberal scum After all an open mind looks better with an exit wound Where did the radicals go? When did pushing the envelope become obsolete? What happened to ingenuity? Are we really all fucking content? Who are you to tell me that I dress wrong? We're not from the same make, so back the fuck off I'll be the judge of who I am Don't blame me for your lack of self worth Welcome to the end of life as you know it Hope you enjoyed your time as a member of the club Please don't forget your complimentary manual on How to reinvent yourself according to our norms The gates are shut forever We've lost everything we held sacred To my children please forgive me We held your futures in our hands, and we wasted it
