Fear Fire Foes

they hammer your swords into plowshares
the steps made to subjugate the weak
no resistance to breach the walls of ruling hand
transfigure the wolves into sheep
the cycle repeats
hand over fist
victory to the corporate elite
the summer of ignorance draws to a close
frost at the doorstep
now is the time! go for their throats!
fear, fire, foes!
the enemy's at the gates!
children born for war
live free

Hawk Smoke

inevitable death will come for me
as I linger in the womb of this life
above the surface like a shade
he awaits my steady rise
the end comes quick
a sudden stop forevermore
I will cease to exist
I will not grasp for eternity
I will rest my eyes
as I return to the depths
my life will peel away as bark to a flame
and my ash will sustain the earth
inevitable
relentless death will come for me
pale hand outstretched
I cannot see
beyond the veil
he's ticking off the days
and from his shadowed post I turn away
to view the earth through ashes gray
he awaits my steady rise
to the grave

Slammed in a Coffin
01:35
|

mankind from the dust
animal born of time
the sweat of your brow is shared
all on earth, breathing life
thoughts of self piled high
unbalanced and apt to kill
to reach the dome of the sky
and rain down
your difference is not set in stone
as a standard for all beasts of the land
pitiless you sink into depths of depravity
to point fingers and cover the past
I will not stand by
while you set guidelines and govern the way
a free spirit should walk the paths of earth
each life to be measured
by it's merit

Pale Knife
00:54
|

I will remove your grasping hands
as they reach for your sick prize
from the shadows like a bat
you will feel the edge of my pale knife
I'll create the hell you ask for
a sentence to pedophiles
rapists soul killers
death to you

Wheels of War
01:37
|
|||
hammers of industry
conquest of land
wheels of war churning the sand
the ringing will be heard for time out of mind
when a lost soul finds the earth
a wasteland drifting through dead space
memory stained in the tapestry of the stars
red with blood
hot with hatred
I will fight this vision
the trajectory of pain
bent on the thorough raping of all life
sickness of man will be cleansed from the land

rites to annihilate the sun
the blade won't stop until its
hunger feeds on every one
a sword rests upon the throat
satiate the earth
blood upon the stones
one by one they return
one by one to the land
one by one
climb the mount with torch in hand
a resistance to reclaim the ages
swift stroke of the firebrand
as payment for your sins against natural man
heads will roll
reject eternity
reject the lamb
a resistance to the holy man
the bell tolls
