Snatched from my mothers breast I'm labertory bound, Raised in captivity I was experimented on In a facility deep beneath the ground they took my humanity When I was experimented on. Let me be your Frankenstein Let me be your Frankenstein Monster They fed me radiation They fed me LSD They opened up my mind I was experimented on chemicals awaken psychic abilities to travel through space and time When I was experimented on I was cybernetically enhanced through surgery They taught me how to kill when i was experimented on I open portals to distant realities and bent them to my will Yeah! I was experimented on Let me be your Frankenstein Let me be your Frankenstein Monster I can shoot lasers from my eyes I can set fires with my mind I am a slave to science I am a victim of science fiction I can shoot lasers from my eyes I can set fires with my mind I am a ticking time bomb I am a victim of science fiction.

Meat Grinder 02:14
The daily grind... its fucking killing me its eating me alive we're all just sacks of meat trapped in this machine until we die and I can't take it anymore the rich are swollen ticks feeding on the working poor I hear death knocking at my door Looking at each other through a prisoners eyes Smiling like mannequins the blind leading the blind We look at each other through a prisoners eyes Smiling like mannequins the blind leading the blind The daily grind... its fucking killing me its eating me alive its so maniacal its so mechanical herded like animals turned into hamburger wasting our lives Looking at each other through a prisoners eyes Smiling like mannequins the blind leading the blind We look at each other through a prisoners eyes Smiling llike mannequins the blind leading the... Wage slaves, wage slaves marching in the fools parade road rage every day marching in the fools parade into the grave Wage slave... marching in the fools parade Wage slave... marching in the fools parade into the grave

Death will be the ride of you're life every day is an uphill climb time flies like a brick to the face happiness begins to decay You slipped away into a narcotic haze you couldn't cope so you hid from the pain a coward drowning in euphoric embrace you gave up... I'll find a way I'll find a way a way out of this place. Its hard to see past that easy fix content to be the captain of a sinking ship I'll keep staring at the puzzle until the pieces fit and build mosaics from broken promises You built a prison from a tired cliche a waking nightmare you could never escape as your reflection slowly wasted away you gave up, I'll find a way I'll find a way Lifes a bitch, flirt with death and the party never ends if the legend never dies I will never compromise Lifes a bitch, flirt with death and the people you despise will revel in your demise I will never compromise I'll find a way a way out of this place.

Tonight heads are gonna roll... Its Friday night, just cashed my check girls at the local bar are smoking cigarettes showing off their tattoos, so statuesque every single word she says is stabbing me to death Cuz I'm so fucking bored... bored out of my skull if I don't have some fun tonight heads are gonna roll I got a fever baby and its burning through my soul if I don't have some fun tonight heads are gonna roll! Roll on! Tonight heads are gonna roll! Down at the poolhall the boys are chasing tail got scratch on the 8 ball, I'm going off the rails if I drink one moe whiskey I might wake up in jail but you know I got that fever baby, I feel like raising Hell Cuz I'm so fucking bored... bored out of my skull if I don't have some fun tonight heads are gonna roll I got a fever baby and its burning through my soul if I don't have some fun tonight heads are gonna roll! I'm so fucking bored bored out of my skull All fucked up with nowhere to go.

The night hides the crimes of those who chose to Defy the ground starts to Quake as the steel behemoths slowly rumbles by his heart starts to pound lungs drowning in the paint fumes toxins fill the air as colors start to take shape focusing hate against everything he Abhors working like a man obsessed he Paints and Destroys Paint and Destroy People are sheep guided by lies the poor and weak are cannibalized so let the bombs fall from the sky only the strong will survive High above the city lights where vertigo takes hold he climbs in defiance of the robots down below His heart starts to pound lungs drowning in the paint fumes toxins fill the air as colors start to take shape focusing hate against everything he Abhors working like a man obsessed he Paints and Destroys Paint and Destroy People are sheep guided by lies the poor and weak are cannibalized so let the bombs fall from the sky only the strong will survive

The system's existence is just an illusion we are complicit in our own deception being complacent is our contribution to the exploitation by their institutions Its all a lie. Its all a lie, its all a lie every aspect of your life has been commodified its all a lie, its all lie Your thinking is manipulated and homogenized its all a lie, its all a lie the values of the ruling class are then internalized its all a lie, its all a lie the system that we live in is a giant fucking lie Arc of the Hammer swing of the blade flight of the arrow crest of the wave Power is gained by the force of momentum Indoctrinated dull and submissive placated by convenience addicted to indifference ignoring self-interest in the name of God I want to be the whirlwind inside this house of cards its all a lie Its all a lie, its all a lie every aspect of your life has been commodified its all a lie, its all lie Your thinking is manipulated and homogenized its all a lie, its all a lie the values of the ruling class are then internalized its all a lie, its all a lie the system that we live in is a giant fucking lie Arc of the Hammer swing of the blade flight of the arrow crest of the wave Power is gained by the force of momentum Don't let the bastards drag you down Don't let the bastards grind you down Power is gained by the force of momentum.

I stalk the night night in search of prey I am a beast in human form livin off whiskey and cocaine fuck with the bull you get the horns I shot a man in New Orleans and watched him bleed to death I drove my Oldsmobil to Texas smoking speed and cigarettes He was runnin is jaws like a bitch now all thats left is a stain and I been running from the law ever since and I haven't done slept in days all I wanna do is raise a little bit hell with the voices in my brain You don't wanna play with me little girl I got voodoo in my vains I came to drink and I came to fight I came to fuck all night... I'm an Outlaw Possessed You came to die, I came to kill bury you by the moonshine still I'm an Outlaw Possessed Pulled off the highway strung out eyes rattling in my skull asked around where all the girls hung out and the rivers of whiskey flowed walked up to the bar and sat right down with blood all over my cloths a big black cigar rolled up in my mouth and cocaine under my nose grabbed a little girl in leather and lace and told her it was time to dance her old man got mad, pushed me out of the way and said she's there with the band all I heard was screams echo through the place when the razor flashed in my hand I drew a pretty picture on that pretty boys face you know he never did stand a chance I came to drink and I came to fight I came to fuck all night... I'm an Outlaw Possessed You came to die, I came to kill bury you by the moonshine still I'm an Outlaw Possessed Get em boys! Marshal Brown tracked me down Hell hounds wail on my trail shotgun shells hit the ground Officer down

I live with my brothers in arms who answered the call of the gods to take what is rightfully ours and the Ogre Army marches on on through the night, into the day, fighting and killing we plunder and march over the hills marshes and swamps, over the mountains and forests and deserts we march, through blizzards and storms, ravenous hoard eating the flesh of the children we march, for years at a time in the name of our King fucking our way through the countryside and so many of us our now gone but the night is always darkest before the dawn our feet they are bloodied and scarred but the Ogre Army marches on on through the night, into the day, fighting and killing we plunder and march over the hills, marshes and swamps, over the mountains and forests and deserts we march, through blizzards and storms, ravenous hoard eating the flesh of the children we march, for years at a time in the name of our king fucking our way through the countryside And they say this war will never end but no one can remember when it began still we are loyal and strong for the Ogre Army always marches on Looting raping killing crushing bones eating gruel from bowls of fractured skulls warm our hands on burning piles of meat decapitated bodies in the street hold heads as trophies high above our steads presented as a tribute to our King War is all that we know.

Our foes lay slain on crimson plains we wipe the blood and gristle from our blades leave them where they lay in desecrated graves praying to some lesser god down in the mire of evacuated bowels and twitching limbs amidst the flames that is their final resting place Laid to waste writhing in pain now its time to celebrate with goblets raised punish the weak honor the brave raid the coffers of the rich and drink the wine of vanquished Nobels burn their churches down to ashes in the name of our unholy crusade Tonight even our horses will drink wine To the victor goes the spoils You will bow at our feet like begging dogs To the victor goes the spoils Your soldiers are now slaves your maidens are now whores its time to let these motherfuckers know to the victor goes the spoils On blood soaked earth once sacred land now monuments to fallen heroes stand sword in hand sculpted from bone draped in tapestries of silk we pilfered from deep catacombs a sacrificial offer stained with virgin blood adorned with precious stones prophecies told through ancient scrolls of warriors who swim in pools of gold have come to pass by wrath of fate raid the coffers of the rich and drink the wine of vanquished Nobels burn their churches down to ashes in the name of our unholy crusade Tonight even our horses will drink wine To the victor goes the spoils You will bow at our feet like begging dogs To the victor goes the spoils You will respect the crown You will bow at the throne or we'll burn this motherfucker to the ground To the victor goes the spoils... Spoils of War.

Hateful Dead 05:13
They came from the hills one day stumbling lifelessly a wave of jagged movement crashing on the weak self rightousness soon became a carnal need to feast as mindless hippies grew more mindless in the streets dreadlocks caked with blood tie dies stained with brains sandles dragging entrails patchwork soaked with pus Vegans feed on human flesh eaten by the Hateful Dead suck the brains from your kind head eaten by the Hateful Dead hemp and crystals around their necks eaten by the Hateful Dead don't bogart that human leg eaten by the Hateful Dead They grew their Devil weed in a forgotten place where government agencies buried toxic waste at first it was kind of hard to tell them apart because zombies and hippies look alike from the start I thought I heard them say something... something like, "Spare some change?" but what they were really saying? what they were really saying was... "SPARE SOME BRAINS!!!" by then it was far too late for us to disappear as the air filled with the pungent smell of patchouli and fear Dreadlocks caked with blood Tie dies stained with brains Sandles dragging entrails Patchwork soaked with pus Vegans feed on human flesh eaten by the Hateful Dead suck the brains from your kind head eaten by the Hateful Dead hemp and crystals around their necks eaten by the Hateful Dead don't Bogart that human leg eaten by the Hateful Dead
