The Reaper

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

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
4.
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
