Grand Guignol 05:39
lyrics
buy track
The Grand Guignol Welcome to the place where the walls come alive And your blood is the prize of the whole damned show I dare you to run from these things that will haunt you forever and always Look at your loved ones for the last fucking time, Because you'll never look at them the same. Come and see it, The Grand Guignol! Welcome to the show where fear is alive and the Devil is watching Step in the shadows and bloodied curtains, Director is calling Watching the blood flow, applauding the carnage, as we take your life Curtains are rising, the show has begun, feel death in the lights! As the blood hits the floor, there is death in store, You can run, you can hide, but your lives are mine! Cursed remains in the halls that retain your everlasting soul Blood and carnage will grip you and tear every grip on sanity that remains Come and see it, the Grand Guignol! Welcome to the show where fear is alive and the Devil is watching Step in the shadows and bloodied curtains, Director is calling Watching the blood flow, applauding the carnage, as we take your life Curtains are rising, the show has begun, feel death in the lights! Come and see what death looks like from a conscious mind See your insides turned out right before your eyes. Embrace the energy, embrace the darkness See, see what's in store! Embrace the Grand Guignol.

Island of the Dolls 03:37

Island of the Dolls: rrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I am the one in control I am the ruler of all here No one shall remain on my island unless I bid it Yet before me lies a girl that I have never seen How did you land here? All this time, unknown, no one to care for you I won’t separate you from your beloved doll She shall hang above where you will lay I cannot leave here This is my home and here I will stay Ten feet below is the only solution They will watch you To the problem that shouldn’t be Yet here you lie I still hang them as they wash ashore Always watching Never looking away from your body Eyes by the thousands Island of the dolls!!!!! Why are they laughing at me? I gave you the burial you deserved Every doll that arrives is hung in your honor Yet all I can hear is the laughing Get out of my head! Just tell me what you want and I will obey. Ten feet below is the only solution They will watch you To the problem that shouldn’t be Yet here you lie I still hang them as they wash ashore Always watching Never looking away from your body Eyes by the thousands Diving into the water I can see my soul being ripped from the inside out I can almost reach you as my eyes begin to fade into the darkness I want to reach you I will find meaning to my island of the dolls.

Fight! 04:19
lyrics
buy track
Fight! Take a look Inside my mind Come and see The torment I feel I will be who I will be There will never be an end To the walks of life Seldom thought as a means to an end Would you ever believe in something you want more than anything? Just take a fucking step back Don’t pretend like you care I know who I am I don’t expect you to understand All these walks of life and you choose mine to judge? You act like I’ve never been through this before You’ll just be another stain on my shirt I never believed that just because I’m the way that I am I would be faced with such scrutiny. I want to see your face hit the floor Take a look Inside my mind Come and see The torment I feel Surrounded in blood, maybe then you'll see what you've done The only way to settle this is to have it your way Settle this like men put up your fucking hands Don't you dare deny me of my redemption I will bathe in your blood if I must I will live up to the stereotype you place On all that you can't understand Give me my shot, to cover you in the lies you feed You want inside my head? This is just a glimpse! Take another look and fight! Put your arms up and fight! I want you to fight! Now we will fight! Take a look!

Taif to Mecca 04:06
lyrics

Ta’if to Mecca Prepare your soul for it's inevitable rape You shall dine no longer, but we feast By the time you see us coming your heads will be rolling in the sand Your imminent demise will fall on you and everyone you love We have no use for the earthly belongings you offer I will make you bleed! Blood is the only currency that holds its weight I will drain it all! Pour it in a chalice and trail it in tow just to paint a trail Cackling with glee! And wash your kin in the sins you have gathered in your Pathetic lifetime! By the time you see us coming your heads will be rolling in the sand Your imminent demise will fall on you and everyone you love Fix your eyes on the blade as it slides into your neck Ripping you apart! And witness your lifeblood as it spills into the abyss Devour your soul! Our horses make no noise on sand Your family will die! And you will not see it coming Sodomizing your namesake! Heartless Cursed souls We will string you up like pigs! String You Up Like Pigs! String You Up Like Pigs!

R.C. 03:30
lyrics
buy track
R/C Breaching the collapse Finding the weakness and devouring All that is living Feel the mechanization Replace the pointless cartilage Fill the voids with solutions Your fields will turn to dust Your lives belong in archives The echoes, remain Feeding on the cavities Of a mind lost in echoes, Remains humanity And pursue the reason Your fragile lives came to extinction Here dawns a new age, true to the reckoning Breath deeply, take it in Let the machine take you hold Let it feed on your mind Stirring and waiting to become a vessel Nothing more, but string and bone The marrow, turned to wires and sutures Fixed by circuits and synapses We are standing at the eclipse of another mankind Taking hold and taking back what was rightfully ours Consume the pointless light of the world and rejoice in the darkness And watch you squirm like a worm in the dirt Redemption is nigh The echoes, remain Feeding on the cavities Of a mind lost in echoes, Remains humanity And pursue the reason Your fragile lives came to extinction Here dawns a new age, true to the reckoning Behold your new overlords

Enceladus 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Enceladus Truth remains in the skies The answers are ours to take Blind eyes cannot deny What remains in the stars Our history books will become fiction The gods you serve will not exist. Let Enceladus carry your hopes Only in the ice can life prosper Send the probe and discover the truth We were never alone Burst from the darkened eyes of progress Progression is only found in an open mind There is peace and solace in believing Eyes turned red toward the sky Follow me friends, into the stars The red planet is a falsified folly A wasted effort when life stands out in the ice No matter what the consequences You have been led to false pretenses No common sense, no structured comments Just the fact of the future of evolution Go hand in hand to a civilization Not compromised by a false nation Or an unsettling solution Take a breath, your time here is done.

Dodecahedron 03:28
lyrics

Dodecahedron Follow me brothers to the depths of Hell Unsheathe your blade to cut down those opposed to our cause They will fall Ride forward, mame and vanquish those that rise against Capture souls that remain a corpse Let the blood flow, whether it comes from our veins or from our foes Rise above and conquer the opposition (GARRrrgggghhhh) Show them the might of the human race When our lives and families are torn apart With crimson and limbs flying across the skies We take arms up again and fight! We’ve been taken as weaklings for far too long Now we must rally and seize the day Wooah WooOOAaH WOOOAaahhh WoooAAH Watch above, brethren, the sky turns dark Those that fight against now stand in awe Our nations and flags shall be burned to the ground If we do not stand against this tyrant now Wooah WooOOAaH WOOOAaahhh WoooAAH The flames are scorching the earth Burning to our very core No mortal can defeat this beast Armor smolders onto the corpse. The dragon rises Pierce its hide and claim our victory Death awaits for no hero’s redemption
