A Last Time For Everything 01. Cancer Eater
We give and take life from either side of the knife
With his stale bloody gloves, he reaches in Knowing death has a plan, holds the filth in his hand Shuts the cellar door tight and makes his goodnight 02. Physician Heal Thyself
Physician heal thyself
Can you cut yourself precise and deep As to reach in and remove what's dying inside of you A colossus of irony Physician heal thyself With great intelligence and experience Can you prescribe a way not to die alone A colossus of irony We are not what we are Physician heal thyself The structure deconstructing Arrogance and blasphemy There are no controls Like the unfortunate patient The physician dies sick and Alone 03. Everything You Love Will Soon Fly Away
Everything you love will fly away
On the wings of an unknown destiny Behind the sun and disappearing sky Everyone you love will pass away Some before, some after, some together Somewhere along the way Everything you are will be forgotten Your memory dies with those who knew you History itself grows old and falls apart Everything you've gathered will be lost Ripped from your hands by fate's desire Or the entropic breath of time Everything you love will fly away On the wings of an unknown destiny Behind the sun and disappearing sky Everyone you love will pass away Some before, some after, some together Somewhere along the way Everything you are will be forgotten Your memory dies with those who knew you History itself grows old and falls apart Everything you've gathered will be lost Ripped from your hands by fate's desire Or the entropic breath of time Everything we are, we are when we're alone Chaos and order stand side by side One day sitting on the top of the world The next day dying on the side of the road 04. It's Hard Not To Shake With A Gun In Your Mouth
I am not a prophet or a teacher
I am a failure of God Standing in a circle of my brothers Their fangs out Everything I had I gave to you Everytime I tried I would lose It's hard not to shake with a gun in your mouth Everytime I try I hear my mother's voice And see my mother's eyes But when her's close I'm scared so will mine You are no brothers Everything I had I gave to you Everytime I tried I would lose It's hard not to shake with a gun in your mouth Filling out the church of Cain Like a thousand foot pious snake Hiding its sins deep in its stomach Digesting them one at a time And your voice is a sounding trumpet Announcing the mountains that you've moved But love is the farthest thing from you Everything I had I gave to you Everytime I tried I would lose It's hard not to shake with a gun in your mouth 05. Kingdom Of Thieves
From the day they washed ashore
The first brick in the foundation In the kingdom of thieves Befriend and destroy Built upon stolen land Painted with innocent blood Give thanks and betray them Shove them into dark corners Feed them the leftovers of dogs Dig up their graves and laugh Pick your teeth with their bones The fruit of the holy voyage is sour and cursed Forced by our heroes To walk a trail of tears Forced by our forefathers To watch their wives and children die In this great, honorable, holy American land In the kingdom of thieves The great American land 06. Killing Time 'Til Its Time To Die
Killing time 'til it's time to die
Do you remember when you were a child? And the sky loomed above like a great mystery We hoped we'd crash into the other planets Growing old we become numb and obsolete Killing time 'til it's time to die Growing into our accursed bodies With tired eyes and a tired soul Growing to fit into our accursed bodies Can't wait to die so I can get some sleep Give up life just to get by We were born into this curse 07. There Is No Such Thing As Paranoia
There is no such thing as paranoia
Walking living nightmares embodied in a horrifying form Keep your fears in front of you Or they might crawl up your back These things are based in reason The fact came to life from fiction A response based on condition Reason can quickly abandon the mind On her hands and knees she cleaned up The blood her mother spilt Did you see the look in his lifeless eyes? The poor boy with a hole in his head Caved in with the claw of a hammer Swung by an arm of cruel intent This is no dream This is happening There is no such thing as paranoia Walking living nightmares embodied in a horrifying form Keep your fears in front of you Or they might crawl up your back 08. Purdy Young Blondes With Lobotomy Eyes
Pudgy young blondes with lobotomy eyes
Keep their fingers down their throat to attract all the guys Who will drug them at bars and take them home to his friends She'll wake up the next day and she'll do it again Vomit yourself into the social shining spotlight Pudgy young blondes with lobotomy eyes Get fat shoved in their chests and sucked out of their thighs And your new broken nose will look so good when it mends Worship MTV, watch and worship the trends Queen of the congregation at a wax museum Sit and rest at the feet of your airbrushed deity Follow Obey Fall into the crowds Falling faster Blind You're blind Roll your eyes Follow and just pretend Your life is a shallow fleeting trend Your life is so shallow 09. My Love, My Love (We've Come Back From The Dead)
My love, my love we've come back from the dead
It's been seven years Past the seventh day On the seventh night Crawl from within the earth tonight The wind it howls, the wind it screams Pulled up like puppets on invisible strings Rise from the earth Undead breath of life Holy revenge shall take place tonight (The dead travel fast) My love, my love we will feast tonight On the flesh of our enemies Who put us in the ground The ones who put us in the ground With their blood on our hands We shall be able to rest again Rest in the arms of our grave 10. American Sheets On The Deathbed
Liberty and justice for those who can afford it
There's American sheets on the deathbed And American bombs in the sky American ghosts in the graveyard The American heart beats in the TV One nation above God Himself There's American fangs on the serpent And American blood on his tie American pride in his heartstrings American venom drips from the TV He who controls the all-seeing eye Liberty and justice for those who can afford it There's American sheets on the deathbed And American bombs in the sky American ghosts in the graveyard The American heart beats in the TV He who controls the all-seeing eye Would rather kill than live in peace We are monsters in the eyes of the world He who controls the all-seeing eye Would rather kill than live in peace Divided while we conquer 11. A Last Time For Everything
A last time for everything
My head is burning inside Once again they've found me Their swirling voices fill my ears Leave this all behind you Screaming their way into my mind Leaving everything you know behind I'm in fast-forward and you are in rewind The song plays when life and death align The shaking seems so still When you're shaking as well In time we all crossover Alive inside our death Fear escapes alongside of my breath A last time for everything Time stops for one But not for another Sever the great strings of the earth The fear is what keeps us here |
