THE FURY
Motor begins to rev death will now be at hand
Is this all a part of some pre determined plan?
Engine starts to idle things won’t turn out so bad
Not quite sure of the past or what the future brings
Seems to want the kill more than anything else
If you think something different you’re kidding yourself
Because this has rising to take some kind of hold
On the mind and heart of a being that’s how the story is told
She rolled off the lot maybe it was just for you
What other reason was it that you let your account accrue?
Been breathing here in this yard, murder on the mind
Awaiting someone who will give this lady some time
But she is made of bits of rubber, steel and speed
Forged in all the Fury not just to anyone will she appeal?
Whatever you want for her it’s not enough
I’m going to have this one thing, even if it costs my life
Say you tried to talk him out of it but he wouldn’t listen
You should’ve tried harder; I don’t take any shit either
Bastard killed himself in it, and probably still would
If you start that Mechanical asshole in here again
I’ll throw you out on you’re fucking ass
The boy has good hands, but bad taste in cars
You can’t polish a turd no matter how hard you scrub
We will see what he can do with this giant piece of junk
It’s not what he can do but what she can do for him
Bury the shitters and anything that gets in their way
This girl thinks she has him but couldn’t be more wrong
The heart of the fury has already taken him
As we belong together, as we belong together
Get rid of that car, I’m not going in that bitch again
My door was locked, and you didn’t do a god damn thing thing
Old songs, just stops now the pressure starts to drop
She will destroy all the shitters for what has occurred
Buddy and all his goons who think they even stood a chance
Mow them down and light them up, burn em’ to the ground
No one left to stand in our way, we will be happy forever
Dennis can try to stop the rubber from burning up the night
You heard she was totaled but you know that’s not true
Looks like the shitters will still get whipped off the street
Obsession rules the mind but will there be a next time

TOO LATE, FUCK YOU
Look who’s so tough, what a big man you are
Don’t take any shit drive a brand new stupid car
Flex all your shit to anyone who will listen
Still can’t seem to signal for a left fucking turn
Why do you drive like you’re going somewhere?
When nobody wants you to be anywhere
The kids hate you the wife is a cheat
Hates you so much its not even discrete
Maybe if you just got off that phone
You could see that you are all alone
Except the car that didn’t know you’d turn
It’s too late for you to ever fucking learn
Broadsided by a Buick, no more you
Now at least your wife can go get screwed
Fuck You

CRUSHED BY CORPSES
Clawing to return to the surface
The place from where and which you can breath
Surrounded by warm flesh and cold dreams
Not quite sure if they have begun to rot
Reaching out to feel if there is anything to grasp
Something to help you pull away from this hell
Maybe if you could see an ounce of light
You might feel a chance that you could break free
Will you be able to get you’re footing
Find a place to step that will not crush or spurt
The pressure begins to turn this flesh to liquid
Crushing your foot enters the chest cavity
Now entangled in this abyss of death
Hands and feet slowly become useless
No sense in trying anymore and you won’t
Scream but sound is smothered by the dead
This perdicament can be perplexing
And everything you thought here is now gone
Even if this escape is to succeed. it won’t
Are you even sure you would want to go on
The certainty is no longer certain
And what you believe is no longer true
Tormented by thoughts that now churn
Above this calamity only death remains

Subconscious Grief

SUBCONSCIOUS GRIEF
Complete and utter terror, white knuckles at the wheel
Racing with disaster, but still it does approach
Is there anyone behind the wheel or have you lost your mind?
Believe it to be possible, believe it to be true
That which you thought was gone has now returned for you
Still the creature gains no matter how fast you drive
Reality is that there is no way that you will survive
Still the questioned lingers how do you kill what’s not alive?
Given a small chance to Bust out
Cut down a dark alley maybe to safety
Looks like a dead end with no way out
Comes up behind you blocking you in
Cannot go left and no way to go right
The end of the road is now in sight
Die now or die later what is the matter
On the concrete your insides splatter
Thinking back on when all this started, was there something that you missed
Or a way that you could have made it out alive
You now ponder every second and reflect on each one hoping that you might
Be able to remember that you are still asleep
But what is realized is that all those stories about when the head is severed from
The body it actually does stay alive
For just long enough for it to see the torso falling to the cold ground where it
Will be left by the unrecognizable head
Here now the body rests while the head lies awake
Bleeding so profusely that it’s almost comical
Had no idea that you would end this way
Always thought that you would die from old age
But here you are dead on the very streets
That you thought were safe and made life complete
But now you twitch and spurt out the neck
A violent outcome is what you should expect

BUILT FOR DEATH
Deep in the factory the madman toils
For all those years of blood sweat and tears
what the boss doesn’t know can in fact hurt him
Not to mention all the people that will die
When the bodies start to pile up
The finger will be pointed at him

I can’t reach it’s to far away
Can’t even stand, not today
It’s where all the action is
The other side of the van

IN THE DARK
Walking around in endless circles
Lost and possible never to be found
Thought they knew where to go
But the ground just slipped away
Is this something that’s been imagined?
Or a thing that is ones own invention
It seems there are questions here
Ones that seem to be left unanswered
Some may choose to remain in the dark
A subtle feeling that you head might explode
Stuck between two places not here or there
No way to see through all this confusion

STILL BORN
News keeps coming in that the kids are dying
Some bodies found and others vanish forever
Is it what you expected or is it much worse?
They say that we all learn from our mistakes
Still some mistakes can never quite be forgotten
To the morgue the bodies keep moving
There is still room since the bodies are so small
Piled high like trash, because the plague feasts

CLOSE THE GATES
Night, Bath in Silvery light
Moon, across rolling hills
Curse, Breaks the still of night
Fear, Grips the countryside
Goat formed obscenity
Born from immortal seed
Interdimensional
Cosmic Blasphemy
Invisible, beast upon the earth
The book, cause of weird dramatics
The creature, walks between two worlds
Doom, it prowls across the landscape
Must stop him, before it’s to late
Seal off the portal, for sanity sake
Doom, humanity’s final fate
Must stop him, close the fucking gates

2525 HARDCORE WARRIORS
I still don’t want to talk politics
But this is more important
When people start getting beaten up
Only because, you are ignorant as shit
Doesn’t mean that we have to stand for it
Replace the truth and fill it with lies
Make up shit that you believe to be true
No matter what will be the consequence?
Even if all it does is spread more ignorance
Knowing I could say anything at all
And you wouldn’t even give in a chance
Because you have made up your mind
Even if there’s nothing inside
Still you claim I use the wrong source
Even if where you get all your info
Is from angry shitty white guy radio
It seems the conversation started
But there is nothing to be said
All you do is mask the facts
Try and make people feel small
The nonsense is always past down
To the mutants that you call kin
Just setting up the next wave to fail
Keeping them in the same place you’re in
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
When I speak the truth

ANCIENT DEEDS
The fog rolls in on an otherwise normal night
A feeling so peculiar like you have been here before
Disturbing sense of dread just as night takes hold
But fear is just the lead in before the true horror descends
An ancient deed has ensured that you will meet your end
A family lays in wait for the suffering to begin
For centuries revenge has been the only thing in mind
Besides the worms that inside the skull they grind
They rise from the deep and muddy earth
Filled with rotten bugs and not much else
The bones are broken and skin fully decayed
In these shallow graves so long they have laid
A maze of death mixed in with all this waste
Vengeance is something that they will soon taste
Chills in the air and even yet colder screams
This soil has been filled with all the lost dreams

CHILLY MEMORIES
Falling through the ice,
Not trapped but cold as fuck
Frozen to the core, still able to stumble home
Thawing out but the melting just won’t stop
Frozen to the floor

UNYIELDING MESSAGES FROM BEYOND
Enter the room, completely consumed
Circled around a table you sit
The lights turned down tension high
Seeking truth which you’ve been denied
Unyeilding messages from beyond
Screams come forth from the dark
From the unknown and beyond
Still we call out to the dead
Request of silence, hands held tight
To summon the dead this very night
The chants begin, the questions posed
To these questions only the dead know
Nothing you have ever heard before
Out from the void of stillness it comes
The screams of tortured spirits
Not saying a thing but yet they speak
Almost certain of an untimely demise
Everyone starts to try to rise
Held down by a force that’s greater than you
No way to escape the ever tightening grip
Forced to watch as the mystic erupts
Now there wil be nothing to keep you safe
No bond that can keep the spirits at bay
Unable to move, just watching it all end
Candles all burn out and the madness fades

REPEAT OFFENDER
You say I’m a repeat offender?
Well that might just be true
But we have to thin out the heard
Of people like you
Happy with the simple things in life
Like dying slow
You would consider doing something
But have nowhere to go
So we will help you out the front door
With a spine crushing foot that will end your life

CONCERNED MOTORIST
Looks like someone could use some help
From the terror the highway has dealt
Turns out to be some kind of ruse, there is easily 5 or 6 dudes
Ready to steal your car and life, not to mention what they’ll do to your wife

No Recovery

NO RECOVERY
Go into the madness of what they call the world
Try to keep a straight face and not let on too much
Don’t want to be noticed or to get in a confrontation
Just want to get through what they call a day
Next one might be better but that I kind of doubt
Unless I do something but that just seems hard
I’d much rather sleep and not get out of bed
Have to make money or I’ll be out on the street
Chronic illness, slowly breakdown of strength
Devastation still incomplete, rotting every second
Made out of disposable flesh, beginning to decimate
No recovery, just irreparable harm
Then my true insanity is what people will meet
But everything around makes be want to puke
Can’t believe its all come down to this
People killing each other as well as themselves
Everything begins to collapse
Transformation into nothing
Comprehension is now blurred
Life is now denied
Can’t identify the body, there isn’t much to see
Melting to the ground, now there is no more
This wide-awake nightmare has only just begun
People kill each other and they say its fun
Head keeps pounding harder, stress too much to bare
Confinement has set in, not to leave my lair
Think I will just stay inside and slowly Rot Away
No need to worry no need to fight another day
Still feeling tired from yesterdays work
Finally up and at em’ going to take care of shit
But what’s the reward for all this hard work
A bullet in the head from some lowlife jerk
Never know you’re going to get it, Just that you will
Whether it’s from cancer or from a loaded gun
Either way you better fucking run
Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
Still time continues forward, no matter how slow
Nothing but time and nowhere to go
Is this the end I’d really like too know?
Waiting for an answer but don’t know the question
Thought I had concerns or are these just thoughts
Mind begins to wander, as I just stay right here
The lesson has no end and that seems so clear
Can there be a conclusion, if there is no end
Are there still ways to cope that I have not tried
Running on steam soon to be bleed dry
Give me one more chance before I fucking die
Spending to much time inside my head
Trying to decide whether I’m already dead
Never had help and there is none in sight
But until the end I will keep up the fight
Time has slowed down but maybe it’s too much
Need some space with these walls closing in
Cannot breath, cant get ahold of it
No way to reach anything or anyone
Put my hands around the neck of this life
Have to get it in shape, Have to make it right
So many years spent just wasting away
Here’s to a few more that’s all I can say
Keep on moving forward because that’s all you can do
Can’t take the easy way because that’s just not you
Won’t do that to the people that you love
Together we will give this world a fucking shove
