Living to Lose
03:34

How do you win at the game of life
Married with children in paradise
Living your life in the day to day
Just to have it all ripped away
Fall apart
Decompose
Rot away
Joy is
Living to lose that’s what I’m all about
Worked all your life for security
Traded your soul for false purity
Treading slowly towards your certain death
Bleeding you dry till there’s nothing left
Fall apart
Decompose
Rot away
Joy is
Living to lose that’s what I’m all about
Living to lose that’s what I’m all about

Modern Medieval
02:30
|

|
Locked away in a dungeon dwelling
Bound and gagged with bloody rusted chains
We don’t buy what the kingdom’s selling
For their heads is where we lay our claim
This ain’t gonna be your average kind of fiction
There is no good and there is no evil
Everybody wants to see some action
You’re gonna die in the modern medieval
We demand your undivided hatred
For the ones who make it like it is
Hired knives of zealots they surround you
Cleaving out a world made for the rich
Capitalist communist
It don’t make no goddamn difference
A theocracy of anarchy
The modern medieval’s gonna make you bleed
Burn it all
Burn it all
Burn it all
Fuckin burn it all
Burn it all
Burn it all
Burn it all
Fuckin burn it all
Hit em right between the mother and the fucker
Hit em right between the mother and the fucker
Hit em right between the mother and the fucker
This ain’t gonna be your average kind of fiction
There is no good and there is no evil
Everybody wants to see some action
You’re gonna die in the modern medieval

Panic Shackles

The faith you swallow
The path you follow
This life so hollow
Panic shackles
Choking my ankles
My lungs are mangled
My words are tangled
Panic shackles yeah
Panic
Shackles
Strangles
Panic shackles yeah
In life they hunt me
At night they haunt me
Punishment with no folly
Panic shackles
System is crashing
Confidence collapsing
Agony everlasting
Panic shackles
Panic
Shackles
Strangles
Panic shackles
Sever my limbs from these panic shackles
Sever my limbs from these panic shackles
Sever my limbs from these panic shackles
Sever my limbs from these panic shackles

Hellhunter

Riding on a southbound train
Set for the valley of pain
Thy poster’s now on the wall
Louder the death rattle calls
For you
Nothing can save you
From this doom
I am
The hellhunter
Trespassers will be shot dead
Survivors will be shot again
Your guns won’t save you my friend
I’ll hunt you all to the ends
Of the earth
You can’t
Weasel your way outta this
I am
The hellhunter
Bring em in cold or warm
The pay is all it’s good for now
Bring em in live or dead
The price of blood’s on your head now
Draw
I ain’t here to kid or fool you
Gonna get what’s coming to you
I ain’t here to kid or fool you
Gonna get what’s coming to you now

Gonna let the engine burn
Gonna lock and load

Gonna swim through the Teflon river
And climb the mountains into outer space

Gonna learn how to play the banjo
Mandolin and fiddle too
Gonna start me a demon string band
Gonna steal away your souls from you
Country roads
Take me home
Burn my body
Where it belongs
In West Virginia
In West Virginia

Dead Comedians
03:25
|

|
Vision through rose tinted glasses
Feel good laughter for the masses
Standing up to fall back down
It’s laugh or death when you’re a clown
It’s funny
To see you slip
We’re all just
Dead comedians
You’re just a
Dead comedian
Inside
Portrayal of self betrayal
Hate and fear is what I’m made of
Suicide is one big punchline
In the teeth so give us a smile
It’s funny
To watch you cry
We’re all just
Dead comedians
You’re just a
Dead comedian
Inside
It’s funny
Portrayal of self betrayal
Hate and fear is what I’m made of
Suicide is one big punchline
In the teeth so give us a smile
It’s funny
To watch you die
It’s funny
HA HA HA HA HA HA
It’s funny
To watch you die
We’re all just
Dead comedians
You’re just a
Dead comedian
Inside

Fake War
02:02
|
|||
|
Do you feel the lances
Piercing through your lungs
Do you see your castle
Crumble as it burns
Fake war
It’s complicated
Great war
You’ll be eviscerated
Power struggle heightens
To new lows of depravity
Do you go out fighting
Or die in captivity
Fake war
It’s complicated
Great war
You’ll be incinerated
Kill them all
Fucking die
Fake war
It’s complicated
Great war
You’ll be obliterated

No bread or water
For the starving masses
Sins of the monarch taint the land
It won’t be long now
Before the tensions boil
Seek sanctuary while you can
A demonstration
Of opposition
We show no mercy
Only perdition with our
Hatchets torches and pitchforks
Hatchets torches and pitchforks
The carnage ensues
Refusal to retreat
The robber barons eat their gold
Staggering losses
A means to an end
The knights and nobles heads will roll
A coalition
Of devastation
They show no quarter
Only damnation
Craft your iron will and break the walls
Down
Storming the throne room
Outnumbered ten to one
Ruptured corruption of a fiend
Kill
Kill the king
Before his crying queen
Hatchets torches and pitchforks
