Nothing but a blemish in the sky
A veil meant to obscure the terror
Committed by its own
I see no splendor in the glimmer of your stars
Nor the stripes serving as a shroud
It's despicable
Our nation's history - a star spangled atrocity
Freedom
A concept so egregious in a land of children locked in cages
Widespread
Celebration all while families are being separated
Our past
A tattered legacy revered to the highest esteem
Does the future hold the same?
I'm not a patriot
I never will be
There is no valor in the illusion of liberty
I'm not a patriot
I never will be

Cadaver Wave

Cadaver wave
Cadaver wave
Seismic menace wreaks demise
Bodies graze the heavens then submerge the earth as they strike
The stench extends for miles
Horrors of its odor shock the senses before its sight
Cadaver Wave
Remnants of
The past collect
Putrid sludge of befouled decrepit flesh
Festering horrid expanse
Starts to rise
Horizons collapse
Beneath its weight
Cadaver wave
Seismic menace wreaks demise
Bodies graze the heavens then submerge the earth as they strike
The stench extends for miles
Horrors of its odor shock the senses before its sight
At the wave's peak the sun's light is banished to the void
No proper grave
Become one with the cadaver wave
A swell of fetid corpses bathes my skin in rot

Hourglass

Thoughts of crime
Running through my mind
My conscience
Devolving
I'm running out of time
The breaking point has long since passed
I can't escape the hourglass
Get me out
I've had enough
Trapped within a maze without an end
Send me to hell
I yearn for the descent
There has to be more to this life than inconsequential repetition
Get me out
I've had enough
Suspended in the air
Swinging by my neck
Ravens in the sky
Mock my last breath

Terrorist Culture

Foreign invasion to defend the nation
Foreign invasion to satisfy god
Invoking christ to defend devastation
Democracy through kids dying abroad
Enlisted then shipped to war
They weren't being honest
When they told you
What you'd be fighting for
Bombs falling from drones
Land on hospitals and schools
Death manufactured for profit
Humans used as tools
Death manufactured for profit
Humans used as tools
Bloodshed has been commodified
Justified by divine rule
The artillery persists
It draws a halo of blood around every innocent's lifeless head
The call was sent from above
It's not a sin to atone
Our convenience is held in the arms of burning children

Necessitated to React
02:10

Look what we've become
A culture bent on the demise of those who we share the streets
Driven deranged by a profit motive
Subduing the misguided and the weak
Look what we've become
Unknowing to the power in our numbers
Along we walk among the herd
We've got our heads in the clouds and in the sand
Greeting reality with our faces in our hands
Look what we've become
Apathetic
Trampled til we comply
We have to unite through our pain
The time for decency has passed
Peace is no longer an option
Necessitated to react
Peace is no longer an option
Necessitated to react

Tomb Evasion

Prosperity is the only option
Failure promises a wretched end
Few will stand in the face of misery
I ascend drenched in the blood of my foes
Born to conquer
Forced to suffer
Victory does not come without a price
For as many wounds as I've inflicted
I still can't put into words the pain that I've endured
Conflict is perpetual
Determined to overcome
No one shall impede my progress
My opposition lies severed limb from limb
I won't surrender til the coffin is nailed shut
