- Acid Head
Johnny is a chemist's son
But Johnny is no more
What Johnny thought was H2O
Was H2SO4
Water cleans the system
Acid eats the flesh
Squirm yourself much deeper
- Ark of Suffering
You think it's alright to destroy God's creation
They don't have a voice so who cares how we're treating them here
If you read His word you should know that he blessed them
I know your defense is to say God said dominate them
Do you think dominate means to kill just for sport
Wear the fur from their backs
Train them for circus acts
Take our pets to be gassed once their cute age is passed
- Carry the Wounded
We all have known someone
Whose life has come undone
But be careful lest you fall
For help you will call.
The Word was my desire
To calm the raging fire
Within me burning
And solace I did find
- Convoluted Absolutes
I feel numb
And think we're half asleep
Our collective sense of outrage
Has gone the way dodo birds and Model T's
We're being trained
We tell them what they want just to appease
It's the end of absolutes
Welcome to the death of meaning
- Drawn And Quartered
Deliver to me the thieves, the murderers
And those with whom I find no fault
Just give me bodies - and the means to kill
It matters not who is guilty, who is innocent
It only matters where my fancy leads me
I live to please myself as you blood spills out
When you expire - there's a hundred more:
- In death we rise
Fear not, the grave has no power
For you will be with Me this hour
Through myriad eons of lost time
In sea of coal black sin
I was there – I am now –
I have been there – I have been there
Through dark medieval ages, and biblical invasions
- Melting The Golden Calf
Bring us your trinkets, your baubles of gold
Join the debauchery, the young and the old
Let us bow down to his great golden calf
Darken our spirits, as we dance and we laugh
The golden calf takes shape - the idol of black hearts
The whole deed, from the sum of its parts
From the healer of sorrow came a great molten blast
- My promise
Just a boy, you will not remember half
The things you're going through right now
How can I explain to you things don't
Always go the way you want them to
I know you feel confused
Your mother never wanted this for you
She did her best but that he wouldn't do
- Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance
The iguanidae sees East and West simultaneously
The praying mantis sees three hundred flies from three
Orbit of man, divergent strabismus and
Compound eyes alien by design
Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance
Unravel the surcingle, clotted and much
- Phantom Limb
The case of George Dedlow
Double amputee, one of 500,000
Civil War casualties
Suffered a phenomenon so bizarre
Even the doctors looked on from afar
How can you feel a leg that isn't even there?
From cold to burning heat
- Swarming Spirits
Two spirits call my name
One from glory, one from shame
Burning different flames
I must believe I am receiving
True words of light of the Christ
Swarms of Legions
- The Threshing Floor
You see life as a game
That you don't want to play in
Born in a world
That you don't wanna stay in
There's only two roads
And none in between them
If you don't choose the Son
- The Tomb of Gilgamesh
I ask that you return me
The years I did ignore thee
And with my burden bury
The weight of guilt I carry
And lead me to the well of life
Before my soul departs
Now I so clearly see how I have murdered me
