1.	Devilskin 04:11	lyrics	buy track
Storm the manor, kill the master String him up by his supporters Because they have betrayed our honor Strip the premises, burn the structures Leave behind only our justice It’s how they’ll be remembered Burning from within Wrapped in human skin Demonic immortals They are the Devil’s kin Scorch the unnecessary nether Nothing lies beyond the faultlines As though hell were at our side Put upon them their destruction Those who’ve earned it, they are wanton Fuck them until they die We are the Devilskin
2.	Mother of War 03:15	lyrics	buy track
I’ve grown accustomed to the morbidness So much the thought of caring makes me sick I understand now why it comes to this Every time we can forget our past You think you’re better than a pile of shit When in reality you’re living it Proof positive there is no comeuppance High ground or otherwise You take what you get The pantheon is ill-defined We’ve blurred the lines spilling so much blood To clean it up would take too long So the ground is blackened From being burned I’d love to see a single ray of the truth Penetrate the death shroud of the aftermath I want to watch as the darkness envelopes Every dream that you’ve ever had of deliverance Mother of war We’ve met before But I can’t remember What tore us apart Mother of war You are the world to warriors Who bear you honor The arms race is superior However godless is the victor No mercy for the weak of heart No coming back to this ruined earth We seek your power In order to conquer We feed you bodies So we may have more
3.	Planet of Beasts 03:36	lyrics	buy track
Our leaders will say anything Same old bullshit, different society Moral contracts with legal pretexts Capitalize on a lack of ethics All is fair in love and war They’re both a business To come to grips with Or get your throat slit They don’t give a fat flying fuck For one head of livestock So do not act like you are in luck Squeal because you’re stuck They want your blood in their mouths They want to drink you down till you’re all out Hazard to stray into open range The laws of nature aren’t in your favor Her majesty burning below your feet Deals everyone a death penalty Oh what a world that’s eating itself So many ways to intern a grave If this isn’t normal Imagine what the neighbors must think Of this cursed planet of beasts Part of the problem With being a being Is being is a problem Whole lot of holier-than-thou God-fear-porn Don’t think that context Can explain away the past Backpedal forever It’s too hard to fathom Such irreconcilable unequivalencies Makes it murder to breathe But do find the stamina to fight in spite of the Brutality of bared unending teeth Climbing the walls to avoid being meat Cursed planet of beasts
4.	Ratland 04:40	lyrics	buy track
Waiting for the luck to change Beat the traffic Life is green in barely any lane Halfway to death Idling in pollution for days At their own game Rush hour is always slower Surplus traffic such a downer Gas and brake and merging lanes The congestion is pure road rage Just enough to get you going Not so much that you get comfy Wouldn’t want you to start thinking About all the time you’re spending If this was just a rat race Perhaps then we could escape But let us not just a maze We’re in Ratland Looking at a life that’s red That’s putting thoughts inside my head It’s a form of mind control Disguised as safety protocol Guzzled gas and burning rubber Breathed brake dust and air freshener Smell the progress in the morning Taking drugs to keep the focus Where are you going In such a hurry And so slowly And drearily Where will you get off How much will be enough Will the business even ever stop
5.	Heliocenter 06:18	lyrics	buy track
Frostbite crystalized Weightless paralysis Faces distant Disappear in silence Unawareness makes the bed Where the gods lay down their famous heads To dream of their own magnificence Only to wake up and forget it all again Swallowed in blackness Intergalactic digestive acids Variations extrasolar How long forever is
6.	Tinderbox 03:31	lyrics	buy track
Blood mixed with oil Then sprayed over hay bales Set it all on fire Let’s pile the kindling Let’s light the matchstick This is our tinderbox So let’s set fire to it The gasoline comes from my skin I’ve bled out, now breathe my fire in I am a beast of such burden I am a fate that’s worse than death I am your catharsis I am your clothes melted to your skin This ain’t a reckoning There won’t be fact-checking The boiling point of your blood Is not open for discussion I will engulf your world And you will never put it out Confounded beliefs burn For ungodly superstition Wrap yourself inside of a tire So your saviors can set you on fire I am the smoke inside your lungs I am the shroud around your homes I am pure comeuppance I am karma burning from within
7.	One of Many 03:05	lyrics	buy track
If you can’t kill your idols They will come fiending for you That toll you hear is a dinner bell Did you think that you were special? Your frequent flyer miles will all be expired By the time your ship arrives You’ll be too tired to ride Statistically one of many Aberrations and underlings Your body lies in the street While leopards feed on your face
8.	Zero Oxygen 05:14	lyrics	buy track
You like to talk about the sun You want to walk in zero oxygen You’d like to be a shooting star Like astronauts on a space-yacht No one wants what you’ve got You aren’t the sun of this solar system When visible light is the enemy It’s preferable that deeds go unseen Chaos becomes the means Advancing upon unknown things So kill anything that moves They are enemies Take this you dirty motherfuckers Siblings of space, but not our brothers Thinking you are a son or a daughter When all along you were an imposter They leave the rest of humanity Walking the beat The lowest of life forms Shall be our common denominators You are a motherfucker Not only for fucking our mother But for flying off into nothing Looking for another Don’t go to those lengths that you cannot breathe Your air supply may be denied but you’ll keep on gasping Collapse like a tin can without any contents Strangled to death by your desire to outlive
9.	Nailbomb 02:00	lyrics	buy track
There is only one question Do you want to blow up? If you are professional I doubt it will be difficult Get your shit together Y’all lot of amateurs I can’t stand these goddamn gaslighters Try your best not being Such combusti-babies It’s really not that fucking tall an order There is no more conundrum Once you decide to blow up If you’ve done your homework You gotta pull a big one off If you can’t get your shit together Please at least consider Not blowing my shit apart Flashpoints all around me So incendiary This is why we can’t have nice things
