To our forefathers with love Thanks for tearing the world apart. Primitive minds are left terrified. Strife, confinement, and the pursuit of lucidness. This is philosophy of the history of our nations being. Fabricated, yet it's only what the public sees. There is significance in every move that's made. We live inside a living, Breathing juggernaut. His eye sees all. If we are so free then why are our minds not meant to be. Don't believe thy majesty, they'll eat you alive. He who controls the war controls our history. Reasons of this, they are shrouded in mystery. Evidence of schematics are hidden within the media. Feeding off of greed, we are the prey of the beast. We the weak, we man the front lines. Swallow lead, make sure the beast is fed. We have resided within the comforts of ignorance. But, this time through it isn't bliss. We live inside a living, Breathing, juggernaut. His eye sees all. If we are so free then why are our minds not meant to be. Don't believe thy majesty, they'll eat you alive. I will not be marked and considered disposable. We live like batteries, giving life to another yet simply born to die. If we are so free then why are our minds not meant to be. Don't believe thy majesty, they'll eat you alive.

Harvest the cancer, fill the sphere to the brim. It's overflowing with the thought of another. Don't fall out of line, you may find yourself floating. With the bodies of the rapt barricading the river. Oh, big brother we are the shrewd. Don't let your eyes surpass the obvious. Oh, thy tyrant, release us from your grasp. We are the pawns. You cannot over come the host you have created. Betrayal was evident. Intrigued by the powers you posses, the hunger is taking this over. Envy will be your only angst, we will not be hollow anymore. Oh, big brother we are the shrewd. Don't let your eyes surpass the obvious. Oh, thy tyrant, release us from your grasp. We are the pawns. Rape the mind of it's enterprise. Fabricate a host of drones. Bodies are punctured, minds are altered. The remains rest on the water. The buoyancy decreases as the air flows out of the aperture. Oh, big brother we are the shrewd. Don't let your eyes surpass the obvious. Oh, thy tyrant, release us from your grasp. We are the pawns.

Cataclysm 03:54
What makes us human? Is it out ability to create or our ability to destroy? To whom much is given, much is expected. To trust the corrupt is to swallow the toxins. We're scarred with sickening fables. Please don't take the lives of every man with an idea. Everything with meaning is smoldering. Pleading to the dead will not save us. Two billion people can be wrong. This way of life is outdated. We are the unarmed truth and we fight for the unconditional love, For the final word in reality and it makes you think. We set the stage, We pull the strings, Yet, we're in a world left heartless. We live alone, We hold our ground, Yet, we're in a room left artless. Lets wrap our roots around a new beginning, Because we're in need of a designer future, a holocaust of the norm. Sobriety is needed upon the desolate. The country's nose is bleeding as we take another hit. Social stratification is becoming bottom heavy. Stirring our minds with delirious allegories won't cure past mistakes. We are the unarmed truth and we fight for the unconditional love, For the final word in reality and it makes you think. We set the stage, We pull the strings, Yet, we're in a world left heartless. We live alone, We hold our ground, Yet, we're in a room left artless. Lets wrap our roots around a new beginning, Because we're in need of a designer future, a holocaust of the norm.

The Deceiver 04:11
For God so loved the world Is such a fabricated one liner Whether I am right or wrong We are both going to end the same End the same I will crawl out of the water And you will magically Part it Walk right through it If I'm a deceiver Then may lightning strike me down Down Reach for the sky There's nothing left here for you But atmosphere Darwin would envy me Lord I've been saved and it wasn't by you Can you fathom that? Oh can you fathom that? My emblem of choice walks on it's own two legs But yours just simply preaches a name And I believe that you've all been naturally selected To be irrational and perpetual to still believe Believe yeah This is survival of the fittest Where is your savior now? This is divine intervention Worship the savvy If I'm a deceiver Then may lightning strike me down Down Reach for the sky There's nothing left here for you But atmosphere If I'm a deceiver Then may lightning strike me down Down Reach for the sky There's nothing left here for you But atmosphere If I'm a deceiver Then may lightning strike me down Down Reach for the sky There's nothing left here for you But atmosphere

You gave birth to a deaf generation Visual talent is the new sensation The trade in value of soul has dropped to all time low Plastic molds are the new gold You devour virtue and spit out our glamour Faces have become vagrant pieces of abstract art This is rare This is candor This is sound without optical slander You can destroy my face before you rid me of my hands Pry out my eyes and I'll be all ears I won't be the surgeons new canvas Nor will I be the producers new plan This machine doesn't off of music Vanity's a drug and they seem to abuse it You devour virtue and spit out our glamour Faces have become vagrant pieces of abstract art [Dave from We Came As Romans:] "You have killed rock-n-roll and buried it with the average mans aspiration Never will I, never will I, trade myself to be the machines cranking gears You have killed rock-n-roll and buried it with the average mans aspiration Never will I, never will I, trade myself to be the machines cranking gears" This is rare This is candor This is sound without optical slander You can destroy my face before you rid me of my hands Pry out my eyes and I'll be all ears This is rare This is candor This is sound without optical slander You can destroy my face before you rid me of my hands Pry out my eyes and I'll be all ears

We never would have thought that we were dead. We were torn limb from limb. Let this be known as our battle-hymn. Our spirits rise from our shattered remains. No bones to speak of, but the passion retains. We have died and returned as a phantom. Nothing can stop our push for power. The asphalt stained a shade of red. We never would have thought that we were dead. We won't rise from the ashes, but we'll rise from our hopes. The afterlife means we reign as ghosts. Black smoke drowned out a birth to the obscene. The critics tried to suffocate the flames with gasoline. Smoke and flames couldn't stop us now. We will forever live on to haunt this town. We have died and returned as a phantom. Nothing can stop our push for power. The asphalt stained a shade of red. We never would have thought that we were dead. We won't rise from the ashes, but we'll rise from our hopes. The afterlife means we reign as ghosts. The asphalt stained a shade of red. We never would have thought that we were dead. We won't rise from the ashes, but we'll rise from our hopes. The afterlife means we reign as ghosts.

We were seeded By a mother culture Children of genius That have stalled into ignorance. The writings on the wall Spell out a surprising past. We only decipher them To be primitive artistic rash. God dies when the churches rise He was born when the ancient astronauts arrived The heavens exist and our maker is there, Death is not the way to visit, technology is our only prayer The gods left behind, We're just scorned upon when appealed They are the maps to our existence That are soon to be revealed The writings on the wall Spell out a surprising past. We only decipher them To be primitive artistic rash. God dies when the churches rise He was born when the ancient astronauts arrived The heavens exist and our maker is there, Death is not the way to visit, technology is our only prayer Not ready to be the grateful slaves of the state God dies when the churches rise He was born when the ancient astronauts arrived The heavens exist and our maker is there, Death is not the way to visit, technology is our only prayer

Art Attack 03:26
The greatest illusionist of all time This is the end of an era What a god damned shame they became Eyes glazed over and hysterical Like a moth to a flame They've died with a smile When you fight for something you can't see How can you believe? How can you believe? To not have a remaining organ That has a beat Has a beat The indifferent tone of your voice Let us be your ventriloquist The beloved, the devoted The never ending force of the choir Is this really so controversial? Don't be so hypocritical Hung by our necks, we're suspended in disbelief We'll keep on swinging 'til judgement day When you fight for something you can't see How can you believe? How can you believe? To not have a remaining organ That has a beat Has a beat The indifferent tone of your voice Let us be your ventriloquist The beloved, the devoted The never ending force of the choir In the eye of the illusionist Oh, what a pretty picture you are To lay down In the eye of the illusionist Oh, what a pretty picture you are To lay down The indifferent tone of your voice Let us be your ventriloquist The beloved, the devoted The never ending force of the choir

These creatures travel through the night Coming to your town, bearing ideas through melody They are the voice of a million upon open minds They hold true, until they die, so much they're blind You can stop an army, but no barricade can stop an idea But the power they're all leaving Shall conquer the universe They have given it all up Just for the rush of the voyage Constantly in transit, But never alone A family, not through blood It's something deeper in our bone They're still versed in nature, But warriors at heart Their rapping, a choice Ourselves wish for art These vagrant souls are in no search of a home The feed on friends and misery In hopes of turning inside-out Who we don't really need, do you feel me? Creatures of the night People fear these persuasive creatures Hiding the risk of exposure They travel for many miles, To leave an impression They are the carriers of the truth And it's slowly spreading They seem to be exactly Just what everyone's been dreading They're still versed in nature, But warriors at heart Their rapping, a choice Ourselves wish for art These vagrant souls are in no search of a home The feed on friends and misery In hopes of turning inside-out Who we don't really need, do you feel me? Creatures of the night

Element 151 04:13
Satellites are falling to the ground The trusting don't make a sound What are we here for? There are lights in the sky Brightly flashing in patterns (Mr. Lazio was so right) The horizon is filled with strobes of light The auroras create a different night Losing touch with our sense of fear This is your vision of splendor, a loss of feel This isn't human, I know this can't be human The ulterior are here The world is in an uproar Oblivious to warnings That are embroidered by the media (Mr. Lazio was so right) The horizon is filled with strobes of light The auroras create a different night Losing touch with our sense of fear This is your vision of splendor, a loss of feel This isn't human, I know this can't be human Will they devour our world whole, Or spit it out because of the wretched taste? The horizon is filled with strobes of light The auroras create a different night Losing touch with our sense of fear This is your vision of splendor, a loss of feel The emotion arrived, disappears from what once was home
