Shitstorm
05:18
|

Verse
They say it’s worse everyday
Maybe this time they’re right
We don’t have the words to say
As we stare into the night
You can’t breathe the fucking air
And outside you’ll cook
All the water is running out
And there’s nowhere left to look
Chorus
We fight and die in millions
We drag our neighbors down
We kill, steal, lie and cheat
In this shitstorm we’ll drown
Verse
We’ve entered the long emergency
No sirens or bells
We’ve grown numb to disaster
In our own personal hell
The rich will party on and on
The poor will starve and die
The middle class left stunned
Wondering which one am I?
Bridge
We’re just another creature
Alive on planet Earth
Among all the other beasts
By far we’ve been the worst
Everything that we build
All that we create
Just adds more to our bill
And a world we devastate
Verse
We’ve sucked all the fat from the land
and clawed the marrow from the bone
We never tried to understand
But we really should have known
The truth is that reality
Crept up on us from behind
We didn’t want to know
We pretended we were blind

The Reaper
02:44
|
|||
Verse
Turn to face your doom
Towards which we rush, but divided.
We go without thinking
Fear fevered, folly guided
He who waits to grind
Is known as the reaper
He looks upon us all
And strikes the darkness deeper
Chorus
No one will prevail
Against the awesome power
Your soul grows pale
The reaper will devour
Verse
Starting with our birth
We practice deathward dances
Every hour on this earth
The reaper casts his glances
Nothing escapes his sight
He is all seeing
So enter the night
Because time is fleeting
Verse
Don’t run and hide
Cause the clock ticks faster
Time is never on your side
But time is your master
Turn to face the truth
Rise to greet your maker
Time’s run out
and the reaper is your taker

Prince of Lies
03:50
|
|||
Verse
You amused yourself with fiction
Devouring more every night
All you needed was a spark
To convince yourself that you were right
Stockpiling ammunition
For a prefabricated culture war
Just one taste and then you learned
You won’t have to follow rules anymore
Chorus
Speech maybe free
But your lies won’t come cheap
Verse
Every idea is absolute
You’re both expert and cynic
Specultating without proof
it’s automatic
Spewing false revelations
Snake oil for the masses
Fear is the common thread with
Unyielding harassment
Verse
You’re the one behind the curtain
Pulling all the strings
Manipulating puppet master
Trying to shape and mold all things
Spreading your misery
Multiplying hate
Until you bit off more than you could chew
Now it’s time to set the record straight

Creatures of the Night
03:15
|
|||
Verse
Chrissie sinks underwater
Tina dragged across the ceiling
Rhodes ripped to shreds
And Kane exploding
Chorus
Don't make a sound
Maybe it’ll go away
But the images in your mind
Are the horrors that will stay
The dark surrounds
Extinguishing the light
Inhabiting your nightmares
The creatures of the night
Verse
Twins in the hallway
Come on Danny, play
When there’s no more room in hell
The dead will have their say

Autonomy
04:42
|
|||
Verse
Overwhelmed a feeling of dread
Did you hear what the news said?
Rights are slowly being stripped away
Jailed tomorrow for what you did today
Souls are saved by what’s overturned
What you do with your body is our concern
Remove one stone and the wall will crumble
Tear it down into a pile of rubble
Chorus
A battle for your humanity
A struggle to own your autonomy
A battle won, a war not lost
Fight for your choice at any cost
Verse
Let’s look into some other laws
If you’re wondering Why? Well it’s because
We no longer have to be hesitant
Now that we have legal precedent
You want to do what, you’ll need a signature
Just to make sure your intentions are pure
Your body was yours, but now it’s mine
And we’ll decide if you commited a crime
Bridge
State by state, until there’s no safe haven
Welcome to the new extremist nation
Verse
Will it stop? Nobody knows?
It all depends on how it polls.
Moral outrage can be weaponized
When there’s someone to victimize
Just in case you think you don’t have to worry
It can’t affect me, so there is no hurry
They won’t stop with what they’ve done
Now that every right can be undone
