Faithful of the Grind

Stand for something, stand for nothing at all
Learn to walk before you learn to crawl
Listen closely, heed your master’s call
Dig a grave and into it you'll fall
Every time
Bend your ear, hear your brother’s yell
Take up arms and give them hell
As blisters callus, they harden the shell
Build a prison and enter your cell
Serve and die
Strapping everyone to the teeth
Wielding sword without sheath
Crushing every bone that’s beneath
Terror beyond belief
Striking under cover of night
Slaughter is a God-given right
Never questioning who we should fight
Peace is a bloody plight
On and on the war machine churns
Countless bodies piled to burn
Ashes smoulder never knowing the urn
On and on
The war machine churns
Bodies piled to burn
We’ve armed the traps, any moment they’ll spring
Locked and loaded, reinforcements in the wing
Bracing for whatever happens next
Primed to kill but sent to our death
In the future, your body leaves your mind
Separate the self and feel your heart resign
Power is granted to the faithful of the grind
Is it peace or is it apathy you'll find?
Empty shell

Cruel Communion
05:59
|
|

The Savior died to deliver men
He saved them all when He rose again
A loving Lord bestowed the gift
The same that caused the Red Sea to shift
All believers partake to be pure
Their faults and sins they seek to cure
Swallow the bread and drink the wine
The body was given freely to dine
Breaking the body
Drinking the blood
Come now, live forever
Heaven awaits…
Me
I know I’m pure
Feast, fill, feed
The Word made flesh and the flesh made fare
A sacred rite conducted in prayer
Nourished by the Prophet’s skin
His followers now absolved of sin
Unto the world they proselytize
A pious vision which clouds their eyes
Sated by the Holy Ghost
Consumed themselves by their Heavenly Host
Breaking the body
Drinking the blood
Come now, live forever
Heaven awaits…
Me
I know I’m pure
Feast, fill, feed
Cruel communion consumed in droves
By every mouth the Spirit chose
To speak His Word and do His will
In the name of love, by the thousands they kill
Listen now what I say to you
I am the way, the life, the truth
My kingdom come, my will be done
Bear witness and enter the Kingdom of Heaven
Heaven, Heaven, Oh
Breaking the body
Drinking the blood
Come now, live forever
Heaven awaits
This is a cruel communion

Call the ones who tend the fire
Midnight strikes, ignite the pyre
Cultists chant in serpent speak
Illuminate the mountain peak
Ruby eyes pierce through the haze
Signaling the end of days
Peer into their vile gaze
Feel the heat of the blaze
Darkness now enshrouds the land
The only light within their hand
Gather here and bring your young
Hear the song of forked tongue
Ruby eyes pierce through the haze
Signaling the end of days
Peer into their vile gaze
Feel the heat of the blaze
Slithering through the æther
Summoned to leave the lair
Beckoning call of seers
They grow
Ripping the void asunder
Bearing their fangs in terror
Serpentine cosmic nightmare
They go
Ruby eyes pierce through the haze
Signaling the end of days
Peer into their vile gaze
Feel the heat of the blaze

Common Enemy
08:45

|

Now we have a common enemy
Nature's force is staring back at me
I feel alone and know it cannot be
That there are those who still refuse to see
There's nothing you and I can do
There's nothing you and I can say
When the sun burns through it all
Monuments of man will fall
What did it get us in the end?
Flaming day by day
Freezing in the dark
Choking on decay
Fill my lungs with grey
I swear we've heard it all before
Yet we still must do more
We have passed the final hour
Deserted by those who hold power
When the last one's carried away
When the night becomes the day
When the sun burns through our eyes
Will we then have realized?
What did it get us in the end?
Flaming day by day
Freezing in the dark
Choking on decay
Fill my lungs with grey
While the world was scorching
Gluttons fanned the flames
Pissing on their minions
As they play their heartless games
Generations left to toil
A future worse than grim
An endless slog to be alive
The hearts of man grow ever dim

Regicide
01:51
|
|

Nigh is the hour when the bastards will pay
A billion coins won’t keep them safe
Their hoarded treasures become their doom
Palatial vaults made majestic tombs
Another day, another king
Another song my sword will sing
Let every ear hear its call
And know that every lord shall fall
Their cup runneth over as they watch our wells run dry
The time has come to reclaim the thrones
Whose builders sacrificed their bones
Tyrants bid all to take the knee
How many backs were broken for thee?
The price of pride is regicide
No tears are shed for the king who died
Let that be a warning then
For those who seek the crown again
