THE LOCK

(Kyle)

..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

Drop seeds to borrow, this rock, this dream of sorrow

Turn tides to ease, this rain, this growth tomorrow

so

Bleed these machines,

Release disease,

Carry contagions across seas

Stamped Metal Sigil¹, to show the world,

The Beauty of The Lock

Taste Freedom.

In cages, they keep us, they feed this toxic weakness

Through ages, they reap us, and sow their greatest inquest

On backs of will, in burrowed silt, we come crawling

so

Bleed these machines,

Release disease

Carry contagions across seas

Stamped Metal Sigil², to show the world,

The Beauty of The Lock

Taste Freedom.

Like locusts, we rise up, we swarm and fill the sky

Like slow-dust, with focus, each one with a pearl inside

And so it all unfolds, on the backs of the untold

We come churning through the sea

To land on the sleeping quay

On legs of dirty steel

These massive turning wheels

Pour forth their filth upon the masses

And let this ancient gift go.

THE ETERNAL HOLLOWS

(Kyle & Justin)

So what do I know?

So what the fuck do we know?

Us Eternal Hollows,

Who won't grace the House of God.

You say we're going down.

Well let us speak now, with a voice you'll no doubt call possessed,

And let us bleed now, a little like your saviour.

For all the ages, for all the sages that spilt the blood of heathens,

For all the bones, the backs, the lives your institution has breathed in

We renege, we return, we crawl back into the ground,

Where pleasures lie, where peace is found, where your Hell is nil

So what do I know?

So what the fuck do we know?

Us Eternal Hollows,

Who won't grace the House of God.

Your Hell is up on earth.

So here we have it, so here we know,

To grasp the Firebrand, we must show

Rape

Behind the walls of every Holy House

-         in more ways than one.

We seep out into the soil.

So what do I know?

So what the fuck do we know?

Us Eternal Hollows,

Who've come to claim the house of God.

Mere feet away now.

Mere feet away from you.

LACERATIONS

(Kyle & Mike)

Son of Adam we'll redesign

The Hand of Science has come alive

Daughter of Eve we'll come to find

One collective Machine Mind

Sever the Stem - Lacerations

Open the Mind - Lacerations now

Design Again - Lacerations

And Come Alive - Lacerations now

From our desks, into our hands,

From our hands, into our flesh¹

Sins of the Father saved for the Son,

The Singularity has begun

Microorganic intelligence

Sub-Atomic dominance

Sever the Stem - Lacerations

Open the Mind - Lacerations now

Design Again - Lacerations

And Come Alive - Lacerations now

From our desks, into our hands,

From our hands, into our flesh²

Son of Adam, Daughter of Eve,

The Hand of Science now reaches to the tree

What will it find, just beyond the veil?

What will this trembling hand reveal...

SURROUNDED BY CORPSES

(Justin)

You may appear alive

But inside you have died

You walk and talk and breathe,

But your mind lies dead, supine

Full of rot

Your soulless face

Hollow stare

Deceased state

Cold and stiff, emotionless

Expired, lifeless.

Surrounded by corpses.

Animated cadaver

Putrefied brain

Conscious oblivion

Heartless human being

Full of rot

Your soulless face

Hollow stare

Deceased state

Cold and stiff, emotionless

Expired, lifeless.

Surrounded by corpses.

BEAST

(Andy & Kyle)

Memories of something I dont have anymore

Try to live without knowing what was once before

People thinkin that youre stupid, you dont belong

Just another no-good misfit, wont last long.

You think your life is just a simple breeze

Day by day I struggle to fit in as you please

World doesnt slow down to remind you of what youve lost

You just gotta keep on movin, no matter what the cost.

Stubborn minds see things straight as their own will

Social war, corporate wall of steel

Soldiers of the real world, fighting for their lives

But no one seems to care unless its them who die.

Lock and Load becomes a way to walk through the door

The boiling point for all these years lost to the war

Hot metal sings the lost's Hell-Fire song

This repression bites flesh and the moment's gone

You think their lives were such a travesty

I tell you they're exactly what we needed to see

A little blood on the face of suburbia's own

To remind us just how far we are from home.

Stubborn minds see things straight as their own will

Social war, corporate wall of steel

Soldiers of the real world, fighting for their lives

But no one seems to care unless its them who die.

This laughter builds a beast. 

BUILT TO BREAK OUT

(Kyle)

You sit as they feed the fire

You sit as they forge the ire

You sit as they use it all,

To build and Empire

You keep all the parts in tow

You pray for them all to grow

You sit and you hold your breath,

As you watch this machine go

Built to Break Out, we lean it straight out

Attach all new parts and throw the old out

We've seen your design and it's this we deny

Cause weve grown our own clout,

And were Built to Break Out.

You sit as they steal the truth

You sit as they kill the youth

You sit and you take it all,

As they feed it to you

You kneel at the feet of the Altar

You pray to the God of Slaughter

Dust and bones is all you have to offer

Built to Break Out, we lean it straight out

Attach all new parts and throw the old out

We've seen your design and it's this we deny

Cause weve grown our own clout,

And were Built to Break Out.

And so we see the end, just around the bend

Call it the prophecy of those who care to see.

From your dust well rise, open up our eyes,

Breath life into this mind,

And Mobilize.

FROM THIS FLAME

(Kyle) 

Watch it turn,

Watch it burn,

Watch it fall away.

This Stone, to Re-Mind

From this stone you draw freedom now

Drop the mind and pull old blinders down

But for teeth you slit your wrists to grow

And that bitch, she bit right through the bone.

For freedom this stone rolls on out

For liberty, your own go without

For pride, you kill it all away

These teeth, these claws, they will decay.

Watch it turn,

Watch it burn,

Watch it fall away.

This Stone, to Re-Mind

From this stone you draw hope now

A nation lost, possessed now

From this Flame, you do lead the way

Into what, the rest of the world can say.

Formed Woman from your hoping hearts

Carved out all the intended parts

But for teeth you slit your wrists to grow

And that bitch, she bit right through the bone.
