Into the fray once again Dying for the chance to find what's real Carve out your truth and hold it close Cannot falter, or you will surely die Blinded in a sea of contradictions Where are the answers? What is the question? No one knows Expression is a struggle of the soul Filtered through a maze of perceptions led astray Where understanding becomes impossible Still the need for another drives against the fear of pain Even when that pain consumes Slaughtered upon the grain When mind and body are defeated The need it will still remain Screaming its wrath into your core Insanity, a welcome paradise Bloodied, at the brink Figure in the mirror forever the unknown Into the fray once again

Prometheus 02:42
Butchering the golden god Carving glistening meat Unable to die, his suffering fuels our greed Feast on writhing riches Chew on gleaming bones Mute and frenzied fallen one from him we carve our thrones Everyday Severed limbs grow anew Everyday His torn heart beats once more We bathe in rivers of his lifeblood Flaying the divine His teeth will make our weapons His eyes will give us sight His tongue will teach us prophecy to guide us from our plight From him we rend our future with each jagged slice Praise the lustrous titan Eternal sacrifice Everyday Eyes return to sunken holes Everyday A plundered husk made new We bathe in rivers of his lifeblood Flaying the divine The idol dies His flesh begins to rot Limbs are filled with poison Limbs that formed the core Of this world, built on divinity Foundations are rotting Tainted meat

What you crave an unmarked grave Conditioned visions Give everything, lose all feeling The price of possession Chase the promise to find some solace When is it over? A yawning distance earns you a pittance The thought leaves you sober Why? And still you try, leaving all for want of a cause Why do we pine for hollow lives? Bleeding ourselves into deceiving jaws Top of the chain, the shackles remain There's no one to blame Where is the joy? You're rich and employed and feeling the same There is no meaning, tired and needing satisfaction An empty shell trapped in hell, your lifelong creation Why? And still you try, leaving all for want of a cause Why do we pine for hollow lives? Bleeding ourselves into deceiving jaws You're chasing a dream, American dream Breathe the tedium, Breathe the tedium Chasing a dream living a nightmare Ask yourself, why?

Body in revolt screaming eyes Inhaling an endless misery Quality of life, the killing joke Preserve mortality at all cost Their God decides who lives and dies A line that won't be crossed Burden that no one wants to claim Kept alive to waste away Torture called humane Tubes feed machines In an endless symphony of automated screens Destroying sanity Voice lost in the void of perforated skin Utter filth surrounding Festering within Life is precious Nosocomial putrefaction Devouring a dying human being Quality of life, the killing joke Preserve mortality at your cost Their God decides who lives and dies All rationale is lost Mercy from this fate will be denied Savor every wretched breath You have no right to die Everything is pain Senses overflow Narcotics pumping endlessly Faces come and go Writhing now in agony medicine can't mend I.V.s embalm a gasping corpse begging for an end
5.
Do Not Speak 02:28
Language is infected Grammar-based disease Mobs of hosts are growing Taking to the streets Do not speak Contaminated vocabulary Traumatized, leaving mental scars Aphasia flooding in synapses in disarray Toxic cries Phrases repeated in an endless mania Consuming confusion pervades Hordes of the afflicted deafen with their rants Virulent cacophony seeking to implant Shut up or die Bar your doors Shield your ears from words that claim your soul If you understand their sermon You too will extol In frustration, agony Desperate need to get inside Only way, the only way Gnashing teeth, empty eyes Comprehension virus Do not speak
6.
Machine 03:30
Feed the machine An ocean of vacant faces Sacrificing hours of life on an altar of empty expression Feeding the glow Feeding the glow Minds as one in atrophy Feeding the glow Feeding the glow Surrender all ambition Feeding the glow Static monument crafted by the complacent dead Feeding the glow Minds as one in atrophy Eater of all doubt
