Smolder 00:26
lyrics
buy track
Smolder (4 count & blast) Wasting away (blast) Into the abyss Caught in trap, designed to enslave 20 times over, I smolder & fade The fire of rebirth, to the darkness of silence The slow suffocation from decades of blackened infection
2.
Erased 00:49
lyrics
buy track
Erased No respect, for tradition No regard, for limitation The strength to break the chains The fuel for new creation Vision for a better way Mind & muscle, cut & pave Dangerous is the path to discovery (bass/drum break) Society rejects what it cannot - comprehend

Meaning Of Life 01:06
lyrics
buy track
Meaning Of Life Another morning, waking up to endless Failures, fuck ups, and rejections A constant reminder of the waste this life is Never finding peace in this shit existence Just-push-on-and-everything will be ok That-sounds-like-bullshit I cannot see a better way (breakdown) The meaning of life – is that it ends The meaning of life – is that it ends The meaning of life – is that if fucking ends!

Mirror Image 00:36
lyrics
buy track
Mirror Image I’ve seen the cause of every problem that’s befallen me It’s right there in the fucking mirror Destroy yourself! Destroy the one you hate! Destroy yourself! Destroy everything There is no escaping the monster inside you You’ve got to take control and kill beast before it kills you Self-destruct, recreate Self-destruct, and build again

Decades Of Decay 00:48
lyrics
buy track
Decades Of Decay Getting old, getting by, just trying to survive (Bass break w/pick slide) Time is the enemy who cannot be defeated The destroyer of dreams and the ender of worlds Slowly, we rot until the best parts of ourselves Are nothing more than shadows Then we’re buried or burned and turn into forgotten memories

Fooled Me Again 00:38
lyrics
buy track
Fooled Me Again Fool me once, never fool me again I get the best of you in the end THIS-WILL-BE-YOUR Annihilation, humiliation Completely blown out of proportion YOU-WILL-NOT-BE Allowed to continue your infection Feel the full force of my contention Choking on the smoke from your deceptions This more than indigestion From year of being fed your lies Your filthy life, I despise One last look into your eyes and Then you’ll see, it was me, who brought on, your demise

Bleeder 00:34
lyrics
buy track
Bleeder Tearing apart, all emotion A dead heart can never beat (ah fuck it) Giving back the same I received The void in my chest left to silently – bleeeeeeeeeed!!!
8.
God Damn 00:20
lyrics
buy track
God Damn Blind to the joys of this world All it’s beauty is hidden from me (blast) Because my eyes fixed upon All this death, destruction, and greed (blast) This life, this earth No point, no hope, no dreams, fuck me!

Gutter Meal 00:38
lyrics
buy track
Gutter Meal My whole body - is dying slowly Every day, I become weaker and this Suitcase full of - meat, blood, and bones Is going to give - out & I’ll be Left-to-watch-as-the world-leaves-me to the rats Left-to-watch-as-the world-leaves-me to the rats My last rites will be - the piercing squealing Of starving rodents - who don’t know my name.

Jackhammer 00:32
lyrics
buy track
Jackhammer You think you’ve hit pay dirt But you’re wrong The bottom of the barrel isn’t This far down Just when you think things cannot get Any worse You wake one day and realize That-you’ve-just-fucked-up (breakdown) And it’s too late to repair The pieces of this shattered realm Nothing left but to wallow in a lake fire No one’s coming to get you out (Blast) You always knew this day would come for you Now you’re fucked and no one fucking cares

Monument To Consumerism 00:32
lyrics
buy track
Monument To Consumerism Just like a vacuum, all we do is consume A hole that can’t be plugged and we choke to death on what we’ve bought Work to death to pay for the waste to cover all our graves And mountain of mistakes, never ending cycle of consumption But somehow we find a way To redirect responsibility It’s got to be the fault of someone else But Humanity designed this plastic hell
