Let me die
In the streets tonight
I can't find
The stars in the city sky
They must dine
In heaven beyond my sight
Black and white
I won't apologize
War, famine, pestilence
And unjust death
Are all our stories tell
The gods are malevolent
Discriminate
So tonight let's burn in hell
Worlds decay
Eat away the shades of gray
Burn the stake
Use it to light the way
Judgement day
Callous minds decide my fate
I will pay
But so will they
War, famine, pestilence
And unjust death
Are all our stories tell
The gods are malevolent
Discriminate
So tonight let's burn in hell
War, famine, pestilence
And unjust death
Are all our stories tell
The gods are malevolent
Discriminate
So tonight let's burn in hell
Mercy's a pearly gate
To separate
Where our angels fell
The righteous can segregate
But hate breeds hate
So I'll see you in hell

You Only Get Two

Narrowed our gaze
Now we're stuck in our ways
And the parties can rage
You only get two!
Narrowed my mind
Ill-equipped to define
What's the truth and what's lies
You only get two!
Filtered content
Nullify our dissent
Kiss the fucking pavement
You only get two!
Narrowed our gaze
Now we're stuck in our ways
And the parties can rage
You only get two!
Manufactured concept
There are idols/ideals to erect
And we'll revel in the dreck
You're fading...
Politicos on parade
There are issues to evade
Enjoy the brutal charade
You're fading...
Distort the standpoint
There are suits to anoint
And demographics to exploit
You're fading...
There's discourse on the news
Let the static bleed through
And pacify me and you
You're fading out

You came from humble beginnings
Back then your crest it meant nothing
Market place was an empty space
Until you made it your own
And now there's no more rooms for guilt
In the house your twisted morals built
Your family tree's an effigy
And it's rotted down to the roots
Quantify your father's love
Ostracize the son for fucking up
The mother won't cry when she sees him die
Because now the family will be in better company
You're coasting on your state of grace
You pledge allegiance and false faith
Normalcy smeared from ear to ear
But nobody will buy
Your sociopathic words mince
Much like the ignored impotence
Your mistress feigns ignorance
But she's laughing to the bank
Monetize your life blood
It's easier to dispose of
The town will respect your selfish sect
And ability to clean house in the name of progress
And when the notion starts to resonate
You'll be cost cut into a shallow grave
Your last breath was a justified death
Because your children learned compassion from a faceless figurehead

Oh baby, you hate yourself
I think your rage is justified
You never cared that much
And now your sins eat you alive
Your lips are stained with blood
Hard to rely on severed ties
Can't recall what it was
Oh, how the little things divide
You see the white or the black
Your fears so choreographed
The world sings your epitaph
I think your time is running out
Oh baby, you love your drug
Even when you rot on the inside
You try to mask it but
Your veil does so little to hide
Heretics called it what
A slow decay or suicide?
I'll see you in the slums
I hope our pain is worth your high
You see the white or the black
Your fears so choreographed
The world sings your epitaph
I think your time is running out
You see the white or the black
Your fears so choreographed
The world sings your epitaph
I think your time is running out

On with the show, we've got shit to sell
And our showmanship goes unparalleled
Light up the stage, we'll light up the sky
It's the final act, are you ready to die?
The world's our stage so act out your part
Conquered, complacent is your character arc
It's almost comedic in its tragedy
No standing ovation, get down on your knees
It's the final act are you ready to die?

I fought for god and country
My brothers did the same
The service promised us glory
Because no one dies in vain
Their cries now echo my own
In my family's empty halls
Sleepless nights I walk alone
Faceless names upon walls
My son was a brother and father
He praised our god's name
Protected his lambs from slaughter
And then the war hawks came
They torn his flesh from body
He was a peaceful man
Not a soldier, a killer or "haji"
Just a victim of circumstance
Through destruction I find solace
Courtesy of my complex
Empire's before have fallen
I'll be damned if mine is next
Replace your politics
With the drones of demagogues
Your souls are up for bid
When I'm done you'll call me god
