Welcome to the first degree
as I declare and I decree
We live in a land where speech is free
but no-one's voice is heard
I don't ever wanna be
part of the silent majority
Let's move to a state of emergency
and start a red alert
Practice what you preach
Learn from what you teach
Get up on your feet
Time to change the tune
Practice what you preach
Stand for your beliefs
Get up from your seat
and turn up the volume
I've got something to say but you can't hear me
'cause nobody listens to this frequency
You can scream if you want, but it'll never be heard
You can shout it aloud, but we live in a world
where explosions speak much louder than words
Strike a match and light the fuse
Burn away the blindness deafening you
Fuel the fire and watch it grow
Fan the flames until they're out of control
Signals smoke, releasing fumes
The transmission of silence won't resume
Drop your bombs and watch them blow
Repeat until, until everything explodes
Everything explodes
Practice what you preach
Learn from what you teach
Get up on your feet
Time to change the tune
Practice what you preach
Stand for your beliefs
Get up from your seat
and turn up the volume
Make this box boom
I've got something to say but you can't hear me
'cause nobody listens to this frequency
You can scream if you want, but it'll never be heard
You can shout it aloud, but we live in a world
where explosions speak much louder than words
Explosions speak louder than you and me
Explosions speak louder than we could ever be
Explosions speak louder than me and you
Explosions speak louder than we could ever do
Than we could ever do
Practice what you preach
Learn from what you teach
Get up on your feet
Time to change the tune
Practice what you preach
Stand for your beliefs
Get up from your seat
and turn up the volume
Jam the signal flow
Blast in stereo
'til all systems blow
I've got something to say but you cant hear me
'cause nobody listens to this frequency
You can scream if you want, but it'll never be heard
You can shout it aloud, but we live in a world
where explosions speak much louder than words

Biblical Proportions
04:25
|
|
||
At the genesis of a man made myth
taken from ancient scrolls
From archaic scripts and hypotheses
legends begin to grow
The creation of powers from above
and forces from below
As we push and shove and remove the gloves
in a fight to save our souls
I'm in overdrive from your distortion
'cause your stories scale biblical proportions
As you testify how the fallen rise
from underneath your oath
You evangelise doctrines of lies
a supernatural hoax
So recite your verse, casting war on earth
with fire and brimstone
But I won't convert to a false rebirth
and a truth that's filled with holes
If our sins are heaven sent
why the hell should we repent
In this land of make believe
built on rewritten history
I'm in overdrive from your distortion
'cause your stories scale biblical proportions
All the hell that you create
is here on earth for heaven's sake
Burn those books and read my lips
Welcome to my apocalypse
I'm in overdrive from your distortion
'cause your stories scale biblical proportions

Heavy Rotation
03:15
|
|
||
This is a juggernaut heading for a crash
On a collision course, we must change it's path
The earth will move when we're as one
so here's your invitation
Just like the moon orbits the sun
we move in heavy rotation
Witness perpetual motion in effect
Turning a physical force into a threat
This vortex in full flow spirals out of control
The earth will move when we're as one
so here's your invitation
The world revolves in megatons
Let's change the constellations
Just like the moon orbits the sun
we move in heavy rotation
We must fight all of our traditions
We must fight endless repetition
We must fight
Throw the gauntlet down until the globe implodes
and bear it's heavy load
This is the juggernaut of all meteors
in heavy rotation

Monster Truck
04:37
|
|

Come with me on this journey
A crash course in catastrophe
as I introduce you to your fate
Brace yourself as you and me
test my collision theory
I hope that you don't value your face
You're a rock in between
a hard place and this mean machine
A vehicle that's fuelled by pure hate
Once you meet my frame of steel
you'll get crushed under my wheels
'cause I'm an undisputed heavyweight
Start the engines
Charge the guns
Launch impending destruction
You get crushed
when I roll upon you like a monster truck
I've got you in my sights
In the glare of my headlights
as I push the pedal to the floor
We collide, sparks enter flight
You're horizontal, I'm upright
charging forward like a wrecking ball
I'm everywhere like Al 'Ka-Bong'
Wreaking havoc like King Kong
I crush what's in my path without a care
I'll break you down to ground zero
I'm Godzilla, you're Tokyo
and you will get fucked up beyond repair
Start the engines
Charge the guns
Launch impending devastation
You get crushed
when I roll upon you like a monster truck
Hey kid, what's that sound?
Bones crunching sound so damn loud
One by one you get crushed
when I roll upon you like a monster truck

Foreign Object
03:33
|
|
||
The right to remain violent is
a knucklehead philosophy
The product of your environment with
the notions that you preconceive
Your codes conducted by force of hand
upon whom set foot in your land
'cause there's no freedom
for those who speak in
a language you don't understand
You're taught from birth
that we're the scum of planet earth
We won't become poster children
of your objectification
Procreate
Spew forth hate toward the young
Spawn your breed
Hands that feed hold their tongue
Another object of your aggression
whose presence gets under your skin
A foreign body set for ejection
back to it's place of origin
Taught from the start
that we have torn your world apart
We won't become poster children
of your objectification
for generations to come
Poison spits
from your lips to my throat
Sticks like shards
Talk too hard to swallow
Stomachs churn
Guts react
Fear my wrath

Night Shift
05:11
|
|
||
I see the world as the world see's me
a malevolent, inhuman monstrosity
I've been ostracised but I set myself free
out of exile with my secret society
To unearth the truth, allow me to unleash
what is hidden inside me, what's lying beneath
so open your mind, check my reality
and I'll make you a believer in duality
I'm a living, breathing homosapien being
Inside my body an animal is screaming
Now daylight is falling and sundown is calling
I howl to the skies as the moon rise
We come alive on the night shift
We come alive when we shape shift
We come alive, come alive
We come alive on the night shift
I'll shed some light on my dark history
as this whole universe casts a shadow on me
I'm no longer mythical, I'm legendary
and I'll be the last creature that you ever see
I'll rip through your fears as I tear your beliefs
Yeah, you better beware 'cause I'm showing my teeth
So kiss goodnight to your mortality
'cause your worst nightmare's here to shatter your dreams
I'm a monster, a reaper, a misanthropic flesh eater
I'm hunting and feeding 'til bleeding hearts stop beating
'cause dusk has now fallen, I'm dining out until dawn
and I growl as I bite under moonlight
We come alive on the night shift
We come alive when we shape shift
We come alive, come alive
We come alive on the night shift
Tonight we'll paint the town red
I'll decorate with your blood
Tonight we'll paint the town red
Can't stop at mere contusions
Tonight we'll paint the town red
I'll decorate with your blood
Tonight we'll paint the town red
Won't stop, so let's commence the transfusion
We come alive on the night shift
We come alive when we shape shift
We come alive

Parts Unknown
03:46
|
|
||
I used to be part of your species
Now you are the pavement and I am the faeces
We're invading space so barricade your doors
We're contagious and rotten to the core
We infest, like an open can of worms
We infect, penetrate you with our germs
We devour, separate your flesh and bone
Take your life and leave behind body parts unknown
I used to be part of your species
Now you're a brick wall and I am graffiti
There is no escape and that's a guarantee
This decay has set upon your fresh meat
We infest, like an open can of worms
We infect, penetrate you with our germs
We devour, separate body and soul
Take your life and leave behind body parts unknown
Now things are getting ugly
as we spread this disease
It keeps on getting stronger
as our numbers increase
We're here to strip your carcass
spill your guts and set them free
Without arms and legs
you're half the man you used to be
I used to be part of your species
Now I am undead and you're resting in pieces
You can try to run but you will never hide
Sooner or later, you'll meet with your demise
We're unstoppable as you're about to learn
It will never end 'cause we'll always return
Live slow, die old
Live slow, die old

Black Clouds
04:59
|
|

The forecast is looking dull
I got a cup that's never been half full
Walking through empty streets
over broken glass on the cold concrete
Winds shift, barometers fall
precipitation begins to pour
and I'm on a beaten track
It's a long, hard road and there's no way back
Black clouds overhead
follow me every step that I tread
I said, black clouds, over me
I try to run but I can't break free
I could walk for miles
but my demons never get exorcised
because every time I look to the skies
a black cloud's never far behind
The forecast is looking grim
Chance of survival never looked so slim
Storm front cements it's grip
as the rain beats down on the blood stained bricks
This path was paved to meet
with a future that looks so bleak
I've lost all faith, I can't trust no-one
It's time to kill what I might become
Black clouds overhead
follow me every step that I tread
I said, black clouds, over me
I try to run but I can't break free
I could walk for miles
but my demons never get exorcised
because every time I look to the skies
a black cloud's never far behind
It feel's like I've been hypnotised
Bones turned to stone, nothing behind my eyes
A paralyzed manifestation
Trapped in suspended animation

Phantom Power
04:09
|
|
||
I just heard the clock strike
at the stroke of midnight
Lights begin flickering
as dark forces are quickening
Static within the walls I climb
as shivers travel down my spine
'cause my house guests are haunting me
now I'm a host to ghosts in my machines
Phantom power
It wasn't me, it was the phantom power
Generating through the late night hours
You must believe it was the phantom power
Yeah, it's something like a phenomenon
or a tale from the Necronomicon
I need some help to break the spell
close this portal to where they dwell
I need someone to lift the curse
this evil hex must be reversed
I need some peace so call a priest
I'm at war with the recently deceased
Phantom power
It wasn't me, it was the phantom power
Generating through the late night hours
You must believe it was the phantom power
Phantom power
There goes the neighbourhood, drowning in bad blood
I swear, I'm honestly plagued by the disembodied
Evil delivered me phantom powers that be
You'll meet your bitter end
when spirits seek their sweet revenge

Divine Intervention
03:39
|
|
||
I wake up every day as the chosen one
I've got a part to play, performing acts of god
I've got a voice inside my head
instructing me to take your last breath
Another day, another fatality
Another rise in the rate of mortality
It's so divine, my intervention
It's so un-natural, natural selection
One more statistic
One more bucket kick chalked upon my list
One more silhouette of a living thing joining my dead set
One more body bagged
One more addition after I subtract
You won't multiply after I divide, conquered won't survive
I've got your lives inside my hands
I am your god and your days are numbered
'til I strike you down
Another day, another fatality
Another rise in the rate of mortality
Another day, another fatality
Another victim of my inhumanity
Make ends from means
Make ends with means

Primogeniture
05:25
|
|
||
Dear all assembled here today
please take a seat and hear my liturgy
No longer do I need to take heed
to your guidance or advisory
The meek shall not inherit now
it's time to fulfil my own destiny
You conceived, now let me bereave
I'm 'bout to sacrifice my ancestry
'cause tonight's the night that I read your last rights
Let the congregation mourn
as this rose becomes a thorn
Let the congregation mourn
the state of primogeniture
People have gathered here today
like a swarm of flies to rotting meat
Circle around your prey
behaving like insects inside a colony
You make my skin crawl as you creep
upon this twisted, tangled web you weave
Believe, I will not be deceived
I'm gonna keep it in the family
'cause tonight's the night that I claim my birthright
Let the congregation mourn
as this rose becomes a thorn
Let the congregation mourn
severed ties as flesh is torn
Let the congregation mourn
bloodlines cut by your firstborn
Let the congregation mourn
the state of primogeniture
Dearly beloved have now departed
From this day forth, you're disregarded
Ashes turn to dust, you've been discarded
You worked out of the wood to drag me through the mud
Dressed in black, out in droves
The coffin lids are now closed
You flock to death to pick the bones
just like a murder of crows
Let the congregation mourn
as this rose becomes a thorn
Let the congregation mourn
the state of primogeniture
Let the congregation mourn
as this rose becomes a thorn
Let the congregation mourn
severed ties as flesh is torn
Let the congregation mourn
bloodlines cut by your firstborn
Let the congregation morn
the state of primogeniture

King Size
04:01
|
|
||
I was born under bad signs
The stars aligned and gave birth to me
The weight of planet earth
from my shoulders to my extremities
I'm becoming superhuman
It's all in my chemistry
I have grown into a giant
It's in my biology
I am not a mere mortal
I am more than skin and bone
I belong upon this throne now
It's in my genetic code
Kingsizing
All hail as I reign
Kingsizing
I rule, you obey
All hail as I stand tall
as a physical anomaly
Behold this oddity
thing that should not be, this anatomy
I became a superstructure
It's all in my chemistry
I became a worldwide wonder
It's in my biology
Nobody will overthrow me
Nobody can fill these shoes
My genetic information will be the death of me and you
and you, and you, and you
Kingsizing
All hail as I reign
Kingsizing
Through these growing pains
You'll obey, you'll obey or you will choke
You'll obey with these hands around your throat
You'll obey as your world begins to flood
with your tears, with your sweat and all of your blood
Long live our king
One man
One mountain moving

Play Dead
09:44
|
|
||
This is a call to arms and legs
stationary and motionless
folded, forming a steadfast X
crossed underneath skeletal heads
No vital signs, just skull and bone
bodies lifeless and turned to stone
comatose with their eyes shut tight
mere mortals giving up the fight
Before I say my final words of farewell
Until I hear the sound of funeral bells
I will not sleep in my deathbed
I won't lie down on the ground and play dead
With these feet I will stand my ground
I won't kneel before thorned crown
Raise my hands as I clench my fists
I oppose ceasing to exist
Before I'm committed to heaven or hell
Until I hear the sound of the death knell
I'll live to see what lies ahead
I won't lie down on the ground and play dead
Let's celebrate one more day
in the life of this goddamned planet
I won't play dead, lay my head
down below a great stone of granite
As long as blood still pumps through this
heart that's beating inside my chest
Until I take my final breath
these remains won't be laid to rest
Before the crucifix is nailed to my frame
The gallows disconnect my body and brain
Until the guillotine detaches my head
I won't lie down, underground, and play dead
I won't lie down on the ground
six feet below where you stand
with soil and shovel in hand
Let's celebrate one more day
in the life of this goddamned planet
I won't play dead, lay my head
down below a great stone of granite
I'm wearing war paint
You're wearing corpse paint
You can't reduce my life expectancy
I'm wearing war paint
You're wearing corpse paint
You wont bury me in your cemetery
by any, any means
You made your bed and lay to rest
You dug your grave now putresce
but I wont play dead
I won't play dead
I won't play dead
I won't play dead
This is farewell to arms and legs
Life and limbs are now separate
Lest you forget these words I've said
I won't roll over and play dead
