Return of Death Adder
01:14

To the fools that thought the end had begun:
Where there’s spark there will forever be life,
And to the death addicts who pine for perfect pathos:
Your time is up, you lost with a simple breath.
The gears grinding, perfect harmony in time with me,
And you’ve been left behind / The damning of your kind
We cannot pacify the guardians of endless Hate
We cannot risk a martyr for a hipsters’ lore.
But now we’re here you don’t like the words that we speak
Even though the meaning’s the same.
It’s you that has shifted, now preaching against our kind,
You target us because you failed, driving static lines.
What you see is what you get
It’s the same old twisted machine
Not the God that you bled for
You were misled by your narrow faith
And now you’re face to face with fables that took on a form,
Finding flesh and blood can never math up to the dream,
And somehow that’s the fault of your imaginary prophet,
“He misled me into the dark, he drew me in with heathens’ eyes!"

Unnatural End
00:48
|

The skies begin to dim
And I don’t wanna play
But it’s not because of you
We’re at our natural end
To cut our time here short
It has been hard to do
I’ve been trying to bring new excuses
But nothing sounds like us
I don’t care, no,
I don’t care
A natural end?
Let’s speed it along
I’m stringing you along
When I can’t put my spine forward
It’s best we call it a day
This is the best time for us to die
I don’t care, no,
I don’t care
A natural end?
Let’s speed it along
I don’t care, no,
I don’t care
A natural end?
Let’s speed it along

Amigara Fault
01:17
|

You feel so left out
You just want a place in life
A slot to fit in
A place to call home
Deeper and deeper
A guttural beacon of hope
Deep in the cliff side
In the warmth of the earth
Do you feel it?
Heed your calling
Be something bigger
Than another dead end
A cutting room idea
Killed by autocracy
This will cause rifts
Divide the sea
But it’s better off marching forward
Than staying in the grave
We all gotta find our groove
Even if it means solitude
Little gained from being dead
Than a false sense of dignity
The past will always have its guards
Custodians of “proper” faith
Time to leave them there
And carve out a new legacy

A Deserter in the House
02:27
|
|||
You’ve been hiding in the shadows
You told me that the war was over
That those that fought had laid down their guns
And those that died had done so in vain
Lies and deceit have led this life
They inscribed it into our grave
But nobody told us that the war would never end
And here we sit, cowering from the sky
Worrying of the day that the bomb will fall
But the war had left us long for dead
I will run this family to the ground
For lying to my face like a fool
Propping me on display like a doll
Throwing me around for your amusement
Lies and deceit have led this life
They inscribed it into our grave
But nobody told us that the war would never end
And here we sit, cowering from the sky
Worrying of the day that the bomb will fall
But the war had left us long for dead
It’s no more his fault than yours
Your soul is laden with holes
This game has been dragged to death
Now the time to step out is rising
I would like to come down and greet you
Step down from the skies undisguised
Now the time to step out is rising

Resting Pains
01:28
|

You wouldn’t let them torch your soul.
You came back as something they didn’t want you to be.
Reanimated husk of their vision.
Reincarnated beast of yours.
Beaten down, you lumbered on.
You reincarnate of my son.
Your heart of fire still burns in me.
You’ll bleed me dry, but that’s just fine.
You fiend
Eating from the dead
Demon from the ashes
Scratching at the soul
This false camaraderie
Is what pulled us to the grave
And in the end, it’s what kept us there
Pinned down by hands who had no right
You fiend
Hacking at the heart
Draining from the blood
A vessel of want
You fight
Shattering the silence
Barking every breath of this belayed return
Make no mistake: this beast is the same
Another chapter, but the same tattered book
Pen an ending worthy of the name
You fiend
Pulling at the strings
Setting up the stage

Walking through the streets
Or hiding under sheets
The ultimate decision
Is the one that brings our reckoning
Money money money
There’s no quality of life
People live and die
By the gears of the machine
Money money money money
Money money money money
Money money money money
Money money money money
And what is the cost
Of the price of freedom?
War is not an option
War is not an option
War is not an option
War is not our goal

What We Had We Wasted
02:19
|
|||
Do you remember the good ol' days?
When we saw nought we wanted to see
We became disillusioned, lost sight of ourselves
We tried to form new friends
Out of dirt and rust and shit
And all we had was an empire of sticks
We had the greatest time
Rubbing shoulders with the grime
We had the perfect system
Toeing to the edge
We had the greatest time
Rubbing shoulders with the grime
We had the perfect system
Toeing to the edge
The one thing that could stop us was ourselves
We were the only ones who could trip us down the well
We threw it down the drain in search of what we needed
If only we realised that what we had, we wasted
We had the greatest time
Rubbing shoulders with the grime
We had the perfect system
Toeing to the edge
We had the greatest time
Rubbing shoulders with the grime
But what we had we wasted
What we had we wasted
