I left the box sadder With the knowledge that only torture can bring I left the box sicker With a sicker purpose defining my brain I left the box a wiser boy Prepared to manifest their purpose I left the box a wiser boy Leaving reformation to hang Every philosophy colored by environment Every failure has an origin Overgrown children, stifled somewhere A normal human I was born Leave open the cage doors of the animal you made savage The post massacre roar from the moral world is one my mind can manage (Repeat all) Once free to make my own choices A young boy I did lead to the gravel pit Left him with his brains spilling out his ears But not before relieving him of his innocence. I'll make everyone pay for that one Sunday morning.

Different places, different people Different ways to sour the milk of human kindness Malnourished graces in brick-wall cathedrals Different scenery to develop a disdain for God's brightness The more cooler you get the more heat and hate there is in your heart Every hour in the jacket creates numbness with contempt its counterpart Different dungeons, different whips Different demons making light of the blood on each back Unbreakable chains, once you've been stripped Curse the name of The Red Heifer with each crack The bread and water you get after being beaten with a paddle or bat Barely helps you survive, let alone leaves you with strength to attack The more cooler you get the more heat and hate there is in your heart Every hour in the jacket creates numbness with contempt its counterpart There is such hatred in my heart No piecing together this what's torn apart A buzzard of the human species and his pet humming bird Ice cold water in a steel bathtub, a current transferred The agony is intense, preparing one for the grave or mad house And only one feeling can this torture ever rouse Pure contempt We have outdone you, Torquemada.

Sodomy, the same in any tongue A thousand fucked before the day I'm hung The one reform granted to a man Sweet vengeful death delivered by my hand If all mankind had but one neck to choke To this task, myself I'd gladly yoke The one reform granted to a man Sweet vengeful death delivered by my hand Might makes right, a lesson taught by others Dulled the sobs as boys cried out for mothers The mercy rape, innocence agape The last escape, humanity reshaped A thousand wrongs, one thousand men made humble Pleading throngs, as tattered psyches crumbled I don't believe in man, God, nor Devil And for mankind, in hatred I still revel A worthless race, I prey upon the weak Through punishment to violate the meek Upon this slime, savagery I wreak The rape of scum, the language that I speak As a boy these lessons cast in pain The Son of God had left his fecal stain By loathing shaped, a creature made of bane Throughout my days, twenty-one I've slain And for my acts I hold no guilt or shame Society, the culprit that I blame In this cage down filthy darkened halls Born of rage and trapped by these four walls The stage is set as lady justice calls Your Jesus Christ the fool in every stall Today I'm dirty but tomorrow I'll be dirt My only solace is how many I have hurt Might makes right, a lesson taught by others Dulled the sobs as boys cried out for mothers The mercy rape, innocence agape The last escape, humanity reshaped A thousand wrongs, one thousand men made humble Pleading throngs, as tattered psyches crumbled I don't believe in man, God, nor Devil And for mankind, in hatred I still revel A worthless race, I prey upon the weak Through punishment to violate the meek Upon this slime, savagery I wreak The rape of scum, the language that I speak

What have we done? With all humanity it’s only just begun The promise of a dismal life the insanity sinks in It's outright mental torture, these brains we must dissect Until nothing is left these brains are wrecked Society is tired and gone with no true sense of power for the strong The smell of death under the sun stepping forth into destruction We as humans break our backs and we bleed Those in fear are forced down to their knees It's always work and war, face in shit ancient folklore Until all sanity is gone An infinite end will come This deadly realm doomed to oblivion These dreams of blood visions of Agartha Another chapter in fear there are those who don't want you here Do you know your way out? Death will rule you soon What a pleasure it is to dissect analyzing anxiety in a world so complex Dissected and wrecked, dissected and wrecked Until all sanity is gone An infinite end will come This deadly realm doomed to oblivion These dreams of blood visions of Agartha All for all and around these lives we lived now all are left The new age has brought us down A haunting message comes from the dead The taking of souls the crown these lives we lived now all are left The new age has brought us down, the taking of souls the crown Precious life, worldly tomb, stench of death, now consumed In a world that rides on the filthy you are malnourished meat The silent void that once was great beauty Now a display of defeat
5.
Now the blood is spilling out It's so fucking hateful He's coming to control your thoughts Words of the devil from deep inside Love for the blackest of the night He fears no religion Immortal beyond Hear the demonic yell it'll pierce the heart Enjoying life all the better Keeping an open eye in the dark Know the left hand path of the past Fly in the demons void It still won't and can't be long The key Life's tight noose on us If your hands are clean there is no art Hold your list up the good won't even go Descend First and only judge Of what is wrongly or right He fears no being He fears no beyond This is my life I wander under this moon I look to the ground There will be maggots soon They'll grow, they'll die
6.
In this life what are you? In that soul you'll writhe Losing the game through and through Is that what you want? Like defenestration, thrown you'll fall down Losing sight in all that you do Be as you are like fools everywhere Living their glorified existence A pain well kept a negative plane is all that is left As true darkness invades your world There's nothing to say After you're down and put in your grave You worthless subhuman life isn't long Time wasted flesh, time wasted til' death A blind existence bleeding delusional retribution You fail life, you fail life, you fail life You fucking failure Live as you are you'll fade with dead memories The blood of existence is futile, it's vapid and vile Now closer to death as you're holding onto your last breath At least slow brained humans understand dying, pathetic and trying Digging deeper to hell inconsistent feelings you dwell Lies, deception, fear, honor Digging deeper you dwell inconsistent you are in hell Pain, torture, anger, chaos Digging deeper to hell inconsistent feelings you dwell Drowning, depression, wolves, scarring Digging deeper you dwell inconsistent you are in hell Dreaming, falling, escaping, dying
