5: A Carnivore's Platter, vocal: Joe/Craig
Meat, I'm a carnivore
Eat it, and feel empowered
Flesh, it's delicate texture
Bloody, rush to be devoured
Warning, embrace the savage
Learning, what it means to die
Killing, as a means for living
Hunger, there's a reason why.
Kill something and eat it!
Slaughter, only means to take it
Guilty, for the cause: to dine.
Aroma, now that is pleasing
Some pink, is just how I like mine
Feed me, I really mean it
Meaty, nothing eats like steak
Roasted, on an open fire
Satisfied, for now, for my sake.
Kill something and eat it!
5: This song is my tribute to the monstrous industry that is needed to
keep us all fed. Perhaps overfed. "Fat Guys Rule!"
6: Three Times Cursed, vocal: Joe
You bought your invitation, and it looks like a body bag
A detailed invocation in blood, unholy rag.
Midnight's unforgiving silver light, illumes your quest.
It's clear to me, as one, I see a loser.
You failed your test!
Three Times Cursed.
As silent themes can miss the point,
your target does not suffer.
The agony you wished for me, oh really it doesn't bother.
From the circle screams in whispered ire.
Finally now you get it.
Thrice you hail,and thrice you fail,
Seems as though you let it.
Three Times Cursed.
Yours is to serve, yours is to suffer...
6: This song was inspired by a verse in "The Infernal Diatribe" V.12 and I Quote:
"Thrice cursed are the weak whose insecurity makes them vile, for they shall serve and suffer!"
7: Off With Their Heads, vocal: Joe
Appeal it does to darker sides that lie with in us all:
The spectical of sudden death as a blade on high now falls.
The value of a human life means little to the master.
"An example set with severed heads, quells unruly masses!"
Off with their heads! Off!
I've seen the signs, the mad designs
Yea the time is coming. Yea the time, the final time,
When finally I'll have justice!
Words are war as words are weapons.
Mightier still by far, are the thoughts that
will condemn you all.
A choice is made.
And you are the one if the final say,
Is to be mine.
Wail all you wish it's final this time.
Off with their heads! Off!
7: This is a dark look at oppression and the mob mentality that so often
supports it, even as they are being abused.
8: Never Return, vocal Craig, Kenny, Joe
I once walked in darkness
and my skin burned in the sun.
To contemplate divine genius
is to count forever by one.
No need to call me a liar
the truth is a relative thing.
Formed by hammer and fire I sing.
I will never return to what I was before.
I will never return, it's not my home any more.
I climbed the highest mountain,
to carve, by thunder, a throne.
It changed my disposition and I never
made it home.
Now I'm known as a teacher,
Listen well and you'll learn.
The trial you face is fire now it's time to burn.
I will never return to what I was before.
I will never return, it's not my home anymore
Knowledge is known to be power,
I gain more power each day.
Still groping blindly in darkness?
If you ask me I'll show you the way.
Open your mind to the wander and know
that you cannot return.
Heed those who have faced the fire
now's a good time to burn.
8: A tale of unsought revelation.
