Ambassador of Fate 02:33
lyrics
Slowed down & nullified Visions of drunken haze Cold sweat covers your body As you push forward in pain Low rises loom in horizon Snow eight inches thick Drag your feet across the alley A slab of bleeding meat All went Straight to hell This freezing shithole A bottomless well Neighborhood so familiar Endless poorly lit road Past burned wood housings A walk of a dying ghost You were never wanted there So why did you leave this place Just three hundred meters If you stay... on your feet Stupor and disbelief Distorted faces, self induced lucid dreams Like a cockroach, a true survivor Blood staining your best shoes and you just bought 'em The march of the ambassador of fate

Scavenger's Rhyme 03:34
lyrics
1 Tingling cold wind Against a weary face Breathe in deep, authonomy Of a born-again usurper of space 2 Standfast for the nadir In vast darkness in the eye of the storm Beneath locked lids of their abandoned values Lies an oasis for the (dirty and) outworn 3 Loot, pillage, and it shall be given you; Scavenge to replenish, and ye shall find Break in through the doors of this barren wasteland; With our morals and aesthetics redefined 4 Don't ask what goes down here Under the auroras of the night Together the agent and the seer; Will to power grows with appetite 5 Standfast, my dark figures Prosper in times of decay Tear down the structure to bare essentials In the rhythm of the roaring disarray
3.
Murder-Suicide Before Dishonor 03:25
lyrics
Fast forward to the end Execute every witness Death before dishonor Written on your grave Build a monument on stray leaves Tie your neck in a noose so you could breathe A ritual murder in the house of God Consumerist spectacle of desperate love Feel the walls already closing in Play the part, keep away from sin For a cultural promise of a tranquil state That led you into a life that filled you up with hate No one can know what you're dealing with The shame of failure of a lesser man Come what may, you either stand or fall And wipe your existence from the face of the earth In sickness and in health 'Til death does us part Look back to realize You'll die in this house An isolated economic unit Foundation of the nation-state What could go wrong, no dysfunctions at all Another row of holes in the family grave
4.
Parrhesiazomai 03:49
lyrics
It was too pristine for most to comprehend But every giant presupposes a dwarf; An occurrance of resistance First as a tragedy, then as a farce Poster child of the new reign Meaty face, pockets filled with cash Along with the middle class pipe dream Claim subjectivity through consumerist acts Dead slogans, empty values Shining smiles, righteous judgements Self crowned kings of useless competition Over a monopoly of a shit pile Standup guys, role models Affirm the norm, future idols Colonialize, absorb the code Milk it up while it has some worth Waiting for their time to come It's over when it's just begun They're growing up now so fast How long the trend will last? The essence's always too dirty Intolerably vital, uncontrollable Not harnessed into a cloak
5.
Disownment 04:12
lyrics
Your existence's on a string A razor thin path Socialization honed your hands into fists You pray there was a generation gap They said that you could become anything They said it was all up to you As how you dealt with your childhood of violence Was something you consciously chose to do Independence, disownment, rejection of the circumstances False promises, inprisonment, a set of fixed changes Bravely plan your life Step forward the biography line But you're a margin; a destructive outlier Your contradiction will never be forgiven It's not like you were born crooked Or couldn't attach to any values or goals It's more of a process where the burden of recession Builds up to manifest itself in your state of depression So it goes on
6.
A Prerequisite for a Sanctimony 03:14
lyrics
Sucked it out from mother's breast; The pure morale gaze Set of choices laid before you No different from the rest Trajectory of life was plain; Hard work yields a serene future without pain 80 years past the Four Frightful Words Strike your heart with fear You were given the authority to build distinctions Now watch as the facade tears Raised up to preach tolerance as your primary value Like it was already decided that we need to be tolerated by you You're as dead inside as your self is corrupt A predator smile cannot hide your plain disgust Cosmopolitan who fears her own shadow World citizen prejudiced to the marrow Your high horse gets shot dead before it's out the stable door 'Cause we're crawling out from the gutter to ruin your beautiful neighborhood The stench, the weirdness, the insane, the unknown Where nothing rules and to each his own You've invoked the measures of symbolic violence You think we'll watch you run the show in silence?
7.
The Ban and the Wolf 02:16
lyrics
A flame is lit in hearts of man Dionysian invocation, a liberating madness To shut down down your uprise once again Animalistic force that cannot be contained We'll ride your tiger to weed out this poison reign Where limp dicks are standing in lines to get a piece of the already beaten down and marginalized It's happening again Initiative to rip out from constraints Disorderly coalitions to rid the head of oppressor Charismatic leaders with the oldest distinction in the book Man and animal History repeats itself Man learns nothing Worst ideas gathered up Repeated as sacred tenets They left you cold and stupid and you can't decide Between an apartheid, closed borders, hate crimes, genocide If a measure of man is his enemies How to sum up those who round up against those who've lost everything Soulless, sycophant, parasite Xenophobe, bigot, coward

Revenant 03:30
lyrics
buy track
You've been raised up by malice that spews through the cracks of yellow teeth of a burned out mother Kept awake by the sizzling noise of lifetime of bitterness boiling inside them You're a stranger in your own life, you don't have a say, you just get by A growing consern while innocence lasts, then you're thrown into a world where you're haunted by your past No hope No reconcile No peace No truce No compromise You're a representation of all that's unwanted, morally wrong, departed You speak in a language no one wants to hear, surrounded by faces of intrique and fear When realities clash on a predefined stage, among mice you will state your name A bastard son of distorted premises now occupies the guilty position They hand you scraps and expect gratitude when they come to cut off your hands You got away, woke up outside the city limits in past nightmares' deserted land Distant thought reminds of strangest ways to cope Refugees' fire keeps your heart warm at night as you stare at the long distance target through a beaten periscope

Ruined Floor 01:51
lyrics
buy track
Eyes of glass in a face of stone No one could stand you so you drank alone Took years to end up like this Hate engine primed at fifties Passing out between short impulses Backed up with shit assumptions You never doubt, you think you tell it like it is Climate of fear, masculine clichés Fist holes through walls A middle class facade can't cover it all When male breadwinner spins into delirium Bitter jealousness, paranoid delusions Broken furniture, dried blood Putrid stench, still can't drink enough Amounts consumed beyond belief Mind gone while lungs still breathe few hundred pills, couple of tries I watched it happen and said goodbye To a stomach acid burned wooden floor Your bloated corpse that carried a life no more

Healer 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Shackles of Material Won't chain you down anymore You engraved your own destiny For an apologia drew a transcendent world Justify divisions Discard what don't meet the end Pick views with delicate taste Teleology of oppression Hey healer Do you ever lie awake at night; Don't you hear the ghosts of old times Blisters on your palms, hunger and fatique; The ear piercing machine ring That threatens the myths you recite And unto which you desperately cling Longing yet immanent In refusal to see The justifying lie In your vision of harmony Totem erected upon Alienation and fear Blood and desperation Forged in fire Entombed in steel
