k2012dua Their drummer Tony has a cat named Butters. Let this contribution go to many cans of Fancy Feast. Also this record slaps. 10/10

Testimony 08:09
Lyrics: "Testament to those of my time: It began, the great expansion. All things at once, the dirt, from nothing, Condemned to return, Thus igniting the spark of life. Rise up from the mud just to rot and to consume all. Plague to the world, disease conquers everything. Praying to gods, but there’s nobody listening now to us. Savior backs are turned. Plagued by visions of our final days, Suddenly my vision fades. Intolerable injustice, Built on cowardice and lies. We are born and designed to die. Our love ever fleeting, Addicted to pain, Never content, We are searching for something more. ‘Til our final day in the sun, Holy war ne'er be done. The horror to exist, All hail the emptiness. By the voices compelled I, We build their pyre high. Great destroyer, Bring all this to an end. The gift of silence, bringing me sweet death. Awaken from eternal slumber, Frozen for millennia"

Lyrics: "I renounce every part of this. I’ve seen both sister and brother turn to cannibal, Seen through the lies of our species. Disposable, everyone expendable; Unable to depend on anyone, can’t even trust yourself. Minds eye designed to process lies. I despise this detour we’ve all stumbled upon. Forget the bodies we tread on. No hope left - (Hear) It’s undeniable, (Me) A bitter truth that’s hard to swallow. Free will: gift or curse? Mere mortals bear no answers. Pray now to the Earth: “Oh, why chosen were we for this?” Searching for something more. No hope left here to find. Vacant eyes scan for life signs, all they find is us questioning ourselves; Are we born pure, or is the Devil in our cells? No hope left - (Hear) Unfaithful (Me). Skepticism; I am a nihilist at heart. Or is that biased of me? So selfish, I can’t see clearly. We don’t weep for the dead. We weep only for ourselves. We are left behind. Reflected like mirrors aimed inward; Fears flicker behind empty eyes. Why was I designed without purpose or peace of mind? With wheels set in motion, devoid of emotion, In facing ourselves, we meet our demise. Insatiable hunger is clawing at my stomach. Oh, I’m so sick at the sight of it. Avoidance is better than facing disappointment in the mirror. Everyone around you, Every corner, Every park bench ever slept on. The cold now one with me. I surrender to the dark. Lost souls left to wander alone. I kneel to Your will"

Ghost 04:51
Lyrics: "Set me on fire, Release us from the chains that bind us. Flesh rubbed raw at the altar, I kneel in repentance, in need of your guidance. Right Divine is upon us. Surrender all worldly possessions. This life is not mine to decide, We belong to His house now. And so the lamb embraces the blade. Heavens break: Your voices now grasp My attention, I descend from My Kingdom of clouds. With mighty stone hands, I relieve thee, mere mortals, The burden of your choices. Through yee, My will be done. Cast out all desire, In its place, leave a sliver of doubt. We feel whole again, But in truth, all condemned. Roots take hold. It’s already begun. Voices say I’m worthless. Voices say I’m fucking worthless. They say I’m worthless. They say I’m oh so fucking worthless. No will remains. Loyal Termite Empire System. Propagate immortal throne. Holy war, now won. Our leniency on acceptance, Is dependent on where your allegiance lies. Intolerance reigns supreme, The Hierarchy wills it to be. So rise and hear yee children of mine: God is dead because he is forgotten. Rise and hear yee children of mine: Trust in me. Confess this bloodlust within you’re a slave to now. (Rise and hear yee) Sin within, the look in their eyes; Hollow, empty. Nothing but lies, the keys to the Kingdom. Disguised in their bones, the poison I hide, Lay cradle for death. We’re condemned to destroy ourselves. Now bow down to me"

Lyrics: "All is lost. Lost in a sea of our own contempt, Black water leaving us breathless. I long to secede from society. True nature comes to the surface. Malicious intent built from within. Vicious circle without a reason, I'm a slave to this heart inside. I would sell my soul to find a reason, I find myself in this life. It plagues me so. Removing myself from the equation. Life in isolation is not without sacrifice. Purge all emotion. Cease to be another place holder for pain. Black out. The silence still bears my name. Loved ones lost beckon me to the door. Oh welcome back to the beginning, A place that you swore never to return. The dirt I left behind, I was no longer to be The Forsaken One. Off-white frames lead to crumbling foundation, Refurbished beyond recognition. The light and the dark are now in the open, I'm afraid to open my eyes. So in the name of love we suffer, To time's illusion succumb. Fear not for those who leave us, Bound to memory live on, Til our final day in the sun"

Lyrics: "Endless desire, Expectation artificial, We're scraped to the bottom now. We gaze upon the heavens, From barren wishing wells. A burial ground for human souls, I choose to buy and sell, And make tender of it. Let go before finding pleasure, Pleasure in what you've found: The danger in well-crafted words. Dulcet tones give life to belief, Now spiraling downwards. Deepest fears now come to life, Subtle glance from my deathbed. From a promise now to the tomb, A vow not taken lightly. Never resurrected. The noise has become intolerable, Hope, heartache sorrow. The ringing echos trough generations, And blends into static. And at the end of the day, Love speaks of us together. Empires once formed, now erased. If the answer is not togetherness, Then what compels us to do so? Invent the path we travel on. We didn't ask to be here in the first place. Our fears, they make their beds, In graves we dug closely in trenches. Welcome one and all to our final resting place. Together we lay here in fear of the dark. This can't go on forever. Oh rip this life from me. Avoidance is cowardice. Escapism is alive in the youth of the present day. We walk along the tightrope, Dangle above the belly of the beast. Lean towards complacency, Or keep our fucking mouths shut. Every letter narcissistic, Every word another ploy, Towards the lost. Free the prisoner within. Every act in self-assurance, at the core of every action. Who do we think we are?"

Suicide Itch 03:46
Lyrics: "Kill Earth and eat her body, Stasis finds us with no will to resolve. Systems thicker than concrete, Sick with delusion of permanence and regeneration, Satiate us and fuck the rest. We ache to be sick, We ache to be dirty. Scarcity engineered to force reliance on, A system that starves us. Psychotic society, Metastasized and terminal, Like inhaling the fumes of our burning skin. Almost invincible we stood ablaze against the black, Darkness dispelled where our eyes gaze. Conquered death knelt fall by our feet, The stars just an arms length away. But will this fix me? We scream, “I want to be better, I want to be dead”. Give me the exit we seek, So sick of the chains of this sadist society. We are hopeless and I want out. No reprieve for those who spit on wilderness, God is the nature of things as they persist"

Lyrics: "War drums pounding, March in rhythm to the sound of reason dying. To the ill informed, we gather round. Systems feed, susceptibility thrives on lack of focus. Sow the seeds of Idiocracy, We all face our judgment now. All hail the King of Ignorance, What we don't see does not exist. All hail the bringer of suffering, Tie the noose ever tighter, Perpetuate the pain. Yeah, I'm a masochistic freak, Society now proven weak, Choices were made with no regard for consequence. Regress into a state of emptiness. No witnesses left to see, No infrastructure left to stop me. The doomsday clock is counting down to your demise, To our extinction. Appetite, repetition never satisfied. Now their schemes begin to play out. How will we rebuild what they've destroyed? Cogs still turning, Is there still time to save our souls? Darkness spreading, Their plot comes to fruition. All hail the King of Ignorance, What we don't see does not exist. Fear nothing, for we are too blind to see. Say nothing and you're as bad as all the rest. On your knees now and pray to me, Your ruler, Absolute. All hail the King of Ignorance What we don't see does not exist"

Lyrics: "Feeble and hungry, we crawl from the mud; The first to wield the fire, but now all for not. Cells multiplying, structure still weak. We had such promise, but it was too much to keep. Giants, they feed upon the weak. Now flashing forward several thousand years: Material possessions, meticulously purchased. Constantly weakened by their self-inflicted lack of purpose. Giants, they feed upon the weak; Metabolize, and then they sleep. The ritual is now complete. Innocence is gone. Her bidding will be done. Peeling flesh from bone. Human beings are born and designed to die. Actions are null, inevitable our fate: Our fate to return to dirt. All your surplus will soon to dust. Sinking deep into chaos, As thick as the oil in our veins, The voice of giving Earth now drained. Flightless vultures, consuming the dead remains. We build the pyre high, to watch it all burn down. We build the pyre to watch it burn. The lie of humankind, Will soon come to an end. And from the great divide, We will return again, The lie of humankind. We will return again. (The lie of humankind) We can’t go on like this. (Will soon come to an end) Something’s gotta give. (And from the great divide) We can’t go on like this, we can’t. No. Artificial compensation, Repetition, never ending. We rest in pieces, forever empty. Only the fat survive; How heavily their pockets lined. Unstoppable rebirth. This hole we’ve been digging all our lives, Was meant for us this entire time. The Earth God Mother will swallow us whole, The lie of humankind will be answered for"

In Terram 10:26
Lyrics: "Where do we begin and end, Time body thoughts and words we pretend. How do we live in peace within the restlessness we keep? Live freely, die slowly. Can't shake this feeling, there is something wrong. Words meet eyes meet actions. You put your hand in mine, To guide me through these blackened waters. Shout to the earthly horrors. Truth wielded by those who are wiser, Until that fateful day my grip begins to slip. How to they rest in peace knowing promises still to keep? Oh why chosen were we for this? So give me what I seek, Surrender all to me. Ode to those of equal affliction. Bottomless pit. The price of everything you try to decipher now. The horror of those who created you, Show some respect and repent. Reveal the stain on my steel resolve. Soul exposed. At night they take flight, created by mine own hand. Like rats they feed, oh owl they see the truth of the darkness in me. Stuff of nightmares, built from within. From stone and blood and spit I built this home, These walls surrounding me. Fearful of what lies just from beyond, A fortress of selfishness, I stand atop the tower and watch, As if I could ever be any more than you. To see through the eyes of another at last. To expose the light, they finally cease. No longer haunted. Now tested and failed, the sediment beckons to me. Ripped to the core, nothing remains to be erased. This I accept. Let go, Sacrificing everything, just to know the answer won't mean a thing. These words were never yours to own. We live on borrowed time. The centuries go by, the lessons we learned don't sink in, it seems. Preferring the cages we're in. Bring all this to an end. We will rebuild the world, with heavy heart in hand. One final blow, now striketh. Now take one final breath"
