Put the Bins Out

the time has come
the beating of the war drum
their days are numbered
we cross the names off one by one
the time has come
to cut the cancer out
their world is ending
our reign has begun
piece by piece their culture crumbles
the walls protecting them turning into glass
and the glass they walk on, cracking
the boot-marked faces biting back
for too long we have suffered these
kings and charlatans to hide in plain sight
now they’ll suffer us
as we take back the power they abuse
for all the broken stairs
for all the misplaced hands
for all the poison words
for all the poison deeds
for justice!
for innocence lost
we must rise above
and be better than them

human cruelty is perpetual
by nail or beast or flame or rope
the ichor must be homogenised
the stain of heresy
must be washed in blood
human cruelty is perpetual
put aside the scars of the past
burn the idols, slay the savages
erect the symbol of your struggle
ignore the irony, bottle it and throw it in the river
let it flood the earth
This is how it felt, as your churches burn and their ashes scatter in the wind, this is how it felt to them when your ancestors did the same.
when your children kill them,
make sure they remember
how the wheel spins

Criminalise Poverty

bureaucrats rusting in sea salt mist
waiting for the waves to come
hold my head down
in the ocean
when I’m dead I’ll be
back to haunt you
your words become dust
your deeds become dust
entropy washes you away
your life worth nothing
it was all in vain
I’ll come back for you

why do people hate Rats; is it because they are better than us?

Gilded Castle
01:53
|
|||
|
take your friendly face and shove it
your gilded castle rests on angry shoulders
your gold and glass and earth will all come
crashing down on your head
you’ll see your end, fucking pig
your riches will mean nothing when you’re dead
your greed will bury you, in the end
do yourself a favour and hide away
The End is Nigh

Onwards/Upwards
02:55
|
|||
|
there’s a sickness in your head
it comes in the shape of a friend
and leaves the real ones dead
there’s a sickness inside your head
and it feels like all our happiest memories are in the past
but all hope is not lost ‘til those moments have been forgotten
I keep chasing my tail
like I’m chasing a shadow
it always slips through my fingers
I can’t hold onto anything
there’s a sickness in your head
to grow when we fall
to have faith in the dark(ness)
that is our purpose
Onwards and Upwards!
