Craving Death
05:17
|
|||
you've got no chance for life unless connected to this machine
if the plug is pulled you will cease living on
ignored as hopeless doctors pass you by
but you have to live on all the while craving death
as you watch the moving clock you know it's time to get up
but your body won't respond repressed by an injection
screaming in total silence your vocal chords are now removed
science forgetting the human factor and you're left craving death
ever awaiting the fateful day when the plug's forever pulled
you will be but crumbling bones when the medicine's done with you
begging pleading for anyone to save your worthless life
in this darkness you're so alone craving death that comes too slow
you had no chance for life
your body lies in the grave
no one mourns your death now
forgetting you ever existed
your friends and family live on
hating that you even lived
people change the subject
whenever you are mentioned
they leave the past behind
even though they feel the loss
they try their best to hide it
not a tear was ever shed
(lyrics by Mike Stovicek)

Burning Cries
04:17
|

violently the air begins to ripple electricals cease their function
vibrations and crimson flash abruptly awaken the condemned
searing hot winds of hurricane force tearing the naked earth sunder
cities in fire from abominable blasts inescapable this infernal horror
disgusting carnage litters the ground shadows imprinted on walls acrumbled
the sickly orange dissipated sky holds death for later dispersal
radiation sickness begin the descent contaminating the earth left standing
children screaming in burning cries living in terror of a melting death
unsavable shattered innocence of youth
lies dying in sea of human bone
children screaming in burning cries
living in terror of a melting death
(lyrics by Mike Stovicek)

Destined To Die
04:15
|
|||
taking the future for granted while it fades away
fleeting consumer society abuses the here and now
self important feeble lives lethargic and unwilling to change
come to an irreversible end
lives snuffed out like candles left in the wind
never to know never to prepare for the time that is soon to pass
no second chance alive today realize you are dying
and will be gone forever tomorrow
the human race a race of death
the law for life kill or be killed
a fallen species destined to die
we are all apart of the tragedy that is humanity
desire to supercede puts us above none
our quest for knowledge leaves us dumb
empty shallow lives struggling to survive
doomed to fail as death lurks beyond the horizon
knowledge is nothing
the laws of science are false
pleasure is pain
life is death
what is now
is what was meant to be
all that is certain
is the inevitability of the end
taking the future for granted while it fades away
fleeting consumer society abuses the here and now
self important feeble lives lethargic and unwilling to change
come to an irreversible end
lives snuffed out like candles left in the wind
never to know never to prepare for the time that is soon to pass
no second chance alive today realize you are dying
and will be gone forever tomorrow
the human race a race of death
the law for life kill or be killed
a fallen species destined to die
we are all apart of the tragedy that is humanity
the earth was once without us and so will it be once more
when the race has ended and we are no longer
all that will remain is a scarred memorial
the planet earth in remembrance of our self centered lives
knowledge is nothing
the laws of science are false
pleasure is pain
life is death
what is now
is what was meant to be
all that is certain
is the inevitability of the end
self important feeble lives lethargic and unwilling to change
come to an irreversible end
no second chance alive today realize you are dying
and will be gone forever tomorrow

Absence Of Existence
04:39
|
|||
what leads me to do the things I do
a programmed machine conditioned by society
my mind is nothing more than a repository
for the creed of the polis
searching asking questions there are no answers only opinions
struggling to destroy boundaries are they society's or self imposed
will there ever be an end to the crippling psychotic warfare
that riddles my being and shreds my soul
why this feeling of anxiety
uncertain anguish
absence of existence
tormented by thought
coming to grips with the nothingness of being
embarrassed at the lessening of the self
nonbeing the key to finitude
nothingness the object of dread
death the path to freedom
but I am much too late
sounds of laughter from the unknown
creep into my head filling it with insanity
meaningless images
jam thought processes
the more want of sleep
the less able to fall away
psychotic intentions
subdued only by frustration
sinking in the abyss
living absence of existence
(lyrics by Sean Echevarria)
