Orb Weaver
07:09

All alone, a world twisting shockingly
Wandering, hidden from common eyes
Wading through the darkness
Suspicious and paranoid, they reached beyond
A voice emerged from the void
Beautiful, enchanting alluring voice
Speaking the words they wished to hear
A truth to rejoice, finally she opened the door
Welcome children, listen to me, I have the real truth
I have knowledge of the world
That they're keeping from you
Like a spider were her fingers, spindly and frail
Orb Weaver what they called her
As she wove her tales
Mystified they looked into her blue eyes
And saw only kinship there
She had so much wisdom to share
The secrets of how to survive
Unmasked, untethered, alive
If they hunted today, would she devour their prey
Or would her children be her slaves
Orb Weaver now we see you for what you are
Though small weak and abandoned
We’ve come this far
Like a spider luring victims into her lies
Orb Weaver spinning webs
For her monstrous disguise
The spider's eggs have hatched
Filling the world with her voice
Treachery filling empty spaces
Ignorance lead to rejoice
Teaching their children that knowledge is fraud
Only to grow and breed, planting a million tiny seeds
Crawling through every space
Giving light to the blind
Her children are watching
They're spreading her voice
To every single ear they can find
Draining the blood from the minds of the young Leaving them weak and frail
Diseased and pale, will the orb weaver prevail
Spider, where are you now
Your children are hungry
Is there no food for them
Corpses of your children are everywhere
Is there no blood to spare
Or was it all a nightmare
Orb Weaver now we see you for what you are
Like a predator who fed on blindness
And rose like a star
Children screaming for their mother
slowly wither away
Clinging to her deception even as they decay
Like a spider luring victims into her lies
Orb weaver pinning webs for
Her monstrous disguise

As the jaws of chaos vocalized with promises of fear
A cloud of noxious language
Flowed throughout the atmosphere
Repugnance swore the world would change
And cleanse their stolen land
Until members of the Kult
Set forth to follow his commands
They walked the streets as one
Weapons ready to assault anyone who questioned
The sanctity of the Krimson Kult
They were hundreds weak at first
Rich and poor alike
Seeing change throughout the land
They dreamed of a fourth reich
Recruiting children, old, infirmed
They spoke of unity
Freedom granted for obedience
To white supremacy
Freedom reigns they cried, chanting for their master
Feasting on his every word, numbers growing faster
They rose up on the streets to praise
This foul and vulgar man
Stars and stripes replaced with his face
It's the rise of the Krimson Kult
The Kult grew faster as they toiled
Words dripping with the fear
That they could be the minorities
In a world that once held them dear
And when it was suggested this power be reclaimed
They took up flags that bore their master’s name
It's the rise of the Krimson Kult
They gathered for their master
On the capitol one day
Murder, chaos, treason
Fellow Kultists gave them way
But the voice of their dear leader
Would be silenced in the end
Their dreams of white utopia were already dead
Freedom reigns, they cried
Chanting for their master
Feasting on his every word
Numbers growing faster
They rose up on the streets to praise
This foul and vulgar man
He who raised the Kult of Krimson
From the children of the Klan
It's the rise of the Krimson Kult
Led by children of the Klan

Behind the Light

Behind the light
That blinds you in the sky
There is a right
To always question
Always question why
So hear the silence
And ask yourself for faith
And eat the answer
As it all fades away
Oh will this era end or fade
Is anybody getting paid
A generation of destitution
Or will we fight a revolution
Within this day
We always find a path
No other way
To feel everlasting love or wrath
Unto the world
Bring all your fears and ecstasy
Internal driving of madness
For only you and me
Oh will this era end or fade
Is anybody getting paid
A generation of destitution
Or will we fight a revolution
Why would you open up your doors
Why would you bring about this curse
Is it your pride that's guiding you
Toward the deep
In the end are we all his sheep
In the end will we ever sleep
Oh will this era end or fade
Is anybody getting paid
A generation of destitution
Or will we fight a revolution
Will these souls ever get to rest
Can we even pass this test
Open your hearts to me
Open your eyes and see
Open your mouth and feed
Open your life and breed

Grave Troopers
03:43
|
|||
The sun illuminates
Another vicious day
The nightmare plague has condemned
The poor to die this way
Strap on your weapons
And prepare to meet the dawn
Now countless dead have risen
And it’s time to battle on
Summon grave troopers
They’re here to clear the way
Spilling their blood for all mankind
Summon grave troopers
Naive of man to think
That death could set us free
When bodies rose
We fled undead humanity
Greed saw death
As opportunity to be possessed
Rose the dead as slaves
To cleanse the weak oppressed
Summon grave troopers
They're here to clear the way
Spilling their blood for all mankind
Summon grave troopers
Familiar faces on the rampage are the test
Grave Troopers take the burden
Putting them to rest
Sacrificed for the belief
That mankind can be saved
Taking memories of battle to the grave
Summon grave troopers
They’re here to clear the way
Spilling their blood for all mankind
Summon grave troopers

Buried deep down in the south
When County Crow was new
Legend says out in the woods
A wizard lived there too
They say his beard was white as snow
His skin like leather hide
He wore a robe of starlight and treated people kind
When bees bit little Tommy's eyes
The old man made some tea
And after screaming through the night
The little boy could see
One day a preacher came to town
His wide hat just as broad
His sermons preached witchcraft
And the mighty wrath of god
He taught the town to fear the gifts
That blessed their livelihoods
And soon the town marched on the man
Who lived out in the woods
Led by the preacher, torches lit
They stormed the Wizard's land
But some crows flew ahead of them
And warned him of their plans
The wizard of Crow County always had a cure
Healing with the magic of the forest and the stars
He stood outside his wooden shack
Waiting for the crowd
And when their fire reached his eyes
He spoke and stood his ground
I've been good to this town
I've helped you build your lives
But if you want I'll up and go the sad old wizard cried
Without another word he went, cats following his steps
The mob descended on his shack
And stole the land he left
And now the town lies destitute
The wizard's curse they say
He who never hurt a soul or had cruel things to say
He could have burned the land to ash
Or plagued their crops for years
But all the wizard left behind
Was suffering and tears
So think on of the wizard and County Crow's downfall
You can use your hands to heal your friends
Or you can damn them all
The Wizard of Crow county always had a cure
Healing with the magic of the forest and the stars
The Wizard of Crow county used his gifts to heal
If only man could understand the power he could wield
The Wizard of Crow County lives to serve mankind
A legend or a myth they say of magic left behind
The wizard of Crow County lives in every town

The Golden Age
06:40
|

Reaching for his gun, hatred in his eyes
Look around and smile, see the Kult arise
Whispering a silent prayer to the god of fear
Give us this fine day, the truth is crystal clear
Time to march with the boys, head held high
No one will ever stop them
One nation under one red sky
Go back! Keep your huddled mass away
Go back! Keep your tired and poor
Initiation done, blinded by the lies
The spider has spoken, deception and disguise
She said voices were erased, crying it's not fair
Now there's a score to settle, revolution in the air
His pulse racing, mindless mob on the prowl
Climb the wall of tyranny, gang justice here and now
Go back! Keep your huddled mass away
Go back! Keep your tired and poor
Place the blame, there’s nothing more
Tripped and fell just like before
Backed into a corner now
Got to make it back somehow
This is the cause that is fought for
Determination to stand strong
A mind that can’t be wrong
No one dared to speak
The consequences of his chosen path
Sins and sirens wailing
No!
We will not go!
We will not go!
The world will turn
Until the end of space and time
Evil in the heart is their cruel design
The voices of dissent echo through centuries
The tyranny of mind is a disease
The past is gone
It's time to change our destinies
It's in our hands
The future that was meant to be
Two visions of the world
Will play out on the stage
Who will write the rules in the golden age
Go back!
The huddled mass will lead the way
Go back!
The tired and poor are here to stay
Go back!
The huddled mass will lead the way
Go back! Go back!
The tired and poor are here to stay

Beach Murder Party
04:01
|

Bodies lithe and oily
Coconuts and booze
Swarm like horny locusts
Spreading plague to the youth
The sickness spreads from tiki glasses
Mouths agape while eating clams
They have no idea what is spreading
Until their lives start ending
It's a beach murder party
They'll remember all their days
Even though those days are numbered
Who cares what those doctors say
It’s a beach murder party
Dead
Wheezing through the fluid
Filling up their lungs
Coughing blood, cheap beer and bile
Choking on each other's tongues
Dropping dead right on the surf
A delicious shark buffet
Ocean water red with carnage
What a sunny day
It's a beach murder party
They'll remember all their days
Even though those days are numbered
Who cares what those doctors say
Beach murder party
Dead
Dead boy summer
Beach murder party
Beach murder, beach beach murder murder
Beach murder party
Dead
Dead boy summer
Life’s a beach

Twisting vines
From the depths of the river
Reaching through sewage
Thick with age
Amber eyes scanning skies to deliver
The vengeance of earth
And its boundless rage
Two hundred years of waste and pollution
Cast to the waters to drown
Not even smallpox or typhoid
The great retribution
Could stop the filth from raining down
Did man think
He could smother the spirit
The river breathes
With the soul of the earth
Revenge made flesh
From the depths of corruption
The fury of the Anacostia
Putrification
Fetid waters bubbling
Acidic footsteps dissolving the road
Feasting on refuse
Who blindly serve the masters
Carrion trail left by all who oppose
Did man think
He could smother the spirit
The river lives and breathes
With the soul of the earth
Revenge made flesh
From the depths of corruption
The fury of the Anacostia
Did man think
He could smother the spirit
The river lives and breathes
With the soul of the earth
Revenge made flesh
From the depths of corruption
The fury of the Anacostia
Into the maw
The creature devours
The living disease
That gnaws on his pain
Swallow the bones
The meat and the power
Until his water runs clear again
Until his water runs clear again

Do It All
05:07
|

Remember when they said I couldn’t win
Remember when
And when the doubt sets in
That's when the fight begins
Couldn't break my will
Now go in for the kill
And I do it all , do it all
And I do it all
Do it all for spite
They peaked so early
And then had nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Sweat and bleed and scheme
Grind your fingers to the bone
See strength and wonder
Find the will
And I do it all, do it all
And I do it all
Do it all for spite
You are more than them
Do it, do it, do it
And I do it all, do it all
And I do it all
And I do it all, do it all
And I do it all
Do it all for spite
