We've walked in circles Time passing And for every copycat, a feast for a rat

Summerland 03:25
lyrics
Teeth clenched, knuckles split Back where i started; unfit, amiss Shepherd of the sick I am the star of the morning I descend into my throne of glory Separate from time, not forward nor behind Step from the grime, no longer confined Lost; one with the salt, tongue turned to chalk Oh, the circles I've walked With nowhere to run Got twelve on the sun, and the chamber holds one State of mind undermines reasoning Rob me blind, tell me lies; imprisoning Against myself, my conscience drags me to hell I'd give up now if I could skip the fucking farewell Grim premonitions Dim lights and a clouded existence Flat lined and behind the black sky Grim Premonitions My state of mind undermines reasoning Rob me blind, tell me lies; imprisoning Against myself, my conscience drags me to hell Nothing's free Pack it up and leave Hymns sung backwards Limbs twisted and fractured Snow entombs and ruins Frozen, broken State of mind undermines reasoning Rob me blind, tell me lies; imprisoning Against myself, my conscience drags me to hell I'll give up now I am the star of the morning I descend into my throne of glory

Death of a Volunteer 03:32
lyrics

Born for more than this A crown of thorns or a set of horns Mourn for the loss of every cross Welcome chaos Reckless and desperate for a sense of purpose Lifespan shortened following serpents Burn myself alive and dive head first into the hive mind To keep myself from being a part of the heap asleep deep inside Haunted, unwanted, and growing more exhausted Lessons unlearned; if I don't return, don't be concerned Ascend - plunged in and pupils pinned Convinced - you're still alive and everything is fine Deny - until you die, reach the end of the line Repent - get bent or start giving a shit Crusade a mission of misfits Convert the sick with a drill bit Pain thick in the air, trespassers beware Born for more than this A crown of thorns or a set of horns Mourn for the loss of every cross Grin and fucking bare it Push me away, I can't be saved Shame fills my veins for another day Exorcise the demon inside You're no sacrifice Crusade a mission of misfits Convert the sick with a drill bit Pain thick in the air, trespassers beware

Bomblove 03:29
lyrics
Abide by genocide A need to rectify An outcry to nullify the outside I'll take what's mine Straight from the source Full force on a shoreline with carbines Void of remorse Born into and aligned with a bloodline of swine Spineless Design the crisis Undermine Take what is mine Design the crisis Redefine what you think is fine Pass me the torch I feel confined from behind the side lines Detonating in the sky, steel vultures hurling by Suffocating, liberating Redefine what you think is fine Abide by genocide or step aside I know a beast that's been seeking release Missing a piece and slowly losing it's teeth Nearly deceased, accepting defeat Impaled to stop the breathing Idol of the occult And that's the result

Burden of the Master 03:22
lyrics
I'm fucking volatile and hostile Demoralized inside; fight my own advice I hide and agonize because it feels like I fail as many times as I try A prize fit for the size Smile Don't try to dial for help, there's no time Vile lies I'm fucking volatile and hostile every once in a while Burden of the master guised by a Curtain of disaster Wrapped in a coating of plaster If I'm alive, I need to die faster Vile It's not that I lack the awareness Lies It's just lonely in rareness Vile I don't believe in fairness Lies And I'm getting careless I want to hear the calls for help before you drop I want to see you engulfed in flames unfaught I want to feel you convulse when your skin pops I want the pulse you cannot stop To come to a halt It's not that I lack the awareness It's just lonely in rareness I don't believe in fairness And I'm getting careless Yeah, I'm getting careless Cause my effort is thankless I hope I soon perish I can feel my frame collapsing inside me The pressure is bleeding My breath is depleting The strain of a king, the weight of the crown Burden of the master, burden of the master If I'm alive I need to die faster Lungs crumpled and airless No sympathy, nobody sees Til my body swings, til my pistol rings I find truth as a function of power Find truth as a function of power Find truth as a function of power

Blue Crush 02:21

Coercion, self subversion Idols resorting to some form of perversion Give me a reason, cause it's killing season Still breathing, I'm not done squeezing I need to feel distinguished from the heathens Close your eyes and pretend you're dreaming Feed my ego with another beating One less pest, another mess created Hate Ingrained Adorned in red and embedded with lead With a head caved in beneath a heavy hand GO Spread on the pavement and circled by ravens With an obligation to maintain disorder Lined sights and waved rights Perjure and torture Line my sights out of spite Murdered out of sight Give me a reason, cause it's killing season Still breathing, I'm not done squeezing Like lambs to the slaughter Knee deep in a pool of red water Wrap my finger 'round the trigger and fire Bet it feels good to be the decider Give me a reason I siphon life, but I'm still deprived I need to feel like the cure, but I'm only abhorred I siphon life, I shouldn't be alive

lyrics
Don't tell me I'll find my place That all I have to do is give myself some space Although I need the help, I never asked for it I did this to myself The devil's luck isn't on my side And even though I've tried, It seems there's just another part of me that really shouldn't be Cause after all this time, things should have aligned But these thoughts and I just can't coincide So I remain in this decline The devil's luck isn't on my side I try to take a chance, but it seems to be That my hopes and dreams won't stay with me I know I have time and I can wait in line But I don't wanna go back I don't wanna go back I grow weary I'll carry on no further My thoughts are dreary Throw me into the burner Regress I will regress to pain My chest is empty I thought this time had passed But it seems that this holds no validity Mind's a mess, can't get any rest My heart is pounding through my fucking chest; distress I envy the comfort you find in your slumber There is no release for me There's no release for me Just fucking misery Won't live a lesser life Bury into me your scythe I know I have time and I can wait in line But I don't wanna go back Don't wanna go back

Judge 03:58
lyrics
Drown me on the sun Put your mouth around the barrel of my gun Peel back my skin Cause I'm tired of wearing this grin Amassed to exceed my being Downcast and I'm done believing Relinquish hope Forfeit to fear Tighten the rope Vision is unclear An unaddressed note Cause I forfeit to fear Manifest the prophecy, accept fate in atrocity Manifest the prophecy, accept fate in atrocity I have got a promise of death, because threats unmet are just wasted breath When the sun sets, you still sweat from the stress of your regrets and debts I have a brand to maintain In this domain, I reign I'll take you from the pain to a hole in the plains Try not to strain, it'll be more humane Blood and veins and bleach circle down the drain And you're a faded stain Where you'll remain; there's nothing left to gain I have got a promise of death, because threats unmet are just wasted breath When the sun sets, you still sweat from the stress of your regrets and debts Relinquish hope Forfeit to fear Release the hounds and hunt me down just to take my crown Keep me bound once I'm found Until I'm prepared to live in the ground Peel back my skin and tell me what you see within Find me, bind me, confine me Assign me a day to finally be free Wait for the day my soul finds its way Waiting for the judge when I become the prey

Northwoods 04:07
lyrics
I should really get to know myself Because my mental health's depleting (impeding me) It's all that's left after the damage I've done Overwhelmed, spread thin and compelled To get out of this place; to erase I just need a brief escape I need to contemplate some mistakes Exterminate some fucking fakes Am I corrupted or just self destructive Cause I've been burning alive Can't wait to see where I arrive Here I lie I don't know if I'm gonna survive tonight Sacrifice my delusions of paradise The price is too high This will have to suffice My character could use a rewrite Just read my last rites and watch me ignite I don't need the insight Everything is finite I should really get to know myself Because my mental health's depleting (impeding me) It's all that's left after the damage I've dealt Am I corrupted or just self destructive Cause I've been burning alive Can't wait to see where I arrive Only in the last moments of their lives Will the parasites recognize The creators, the judgement makers Walks amongst you and I
