This track is instrumental.
Lie awake It's all give and take Wretched place That you've never known As you've made your way Through the cemetery Of mistakes that you've never made Debts that you've never paid Most precious waste You could never throw away Just one more taste You're never gonna stray Welcome to your fix When you thought you had kicked Some things just never go away Ingrained though hazy as memories fade Save those ones that you've never made Most precious waste You could never throw away Just one more taste You're never gonna stray We are what you have made The world engulfed in flames And I'm no modern man This is no modern land Give me your process Your pathetic progress Bury me in the ultimate tomb Give me your process Your pathetic progress Your posthumous prosthetic womb Not a second too late As you storm the gates With the force of a thousand Blood rush to your head Gives you strength that you've never had Most precious waste You could never throw away Just one more taste You're never gonna stray We are what you have made The world engulfed in flames And I'm no modern man This is no modern land
Says the feral instinctual side "The thrill of the hunt" Says the prophet of all that's been said and done "Savor the kill" Unsettled, severance undone A non-living presence will never Grow until you fall overblown Transcend to the beat Separate from the world of thought The world of belief I don't show what you already know I'm plagued with relief Out in plain view for all to see They'd never believe Compelled to separate the needs From all you wanted the world to see I'm no better than the Animal in everybody Changing your mind Keeping the life in the Wild have you never noticed Everyone who thinks they know The answer is wrong A vision, a saying, a song You are the fall No master of your domain There is no law I'm no better than the Animal in everybody Changing your mind Keeping the life in the wild Go out into the cold dark night Show your survival, your purpose, your plight I'm no better than I'm no better than I'm no better than The animal

Breathe your every breath self-obsessed a sensational place Your winning hand cripples this impoverished state Your business here I don't care you're not welcome to feed Yourself to death it's just not ever gonna be enough So chemical every scent you wear A bath in shit all flesh and hair Among the squeals and the selfish prayers I never knew you were never there Need you think you need so you live so lustfully Peel the skin away we're all the same until you taste Yourself but all you want is more an insatiable breed And you will know the slaughterhouse the happy home Pigs they think that they own you Every pig can smell where you've been Everybody knows a pig that wants to reform you All those pigs they're all soulless beasts A subtle mount a ripe affair I'll be your accomplice anywhere And I don't know if you even care A cloven hoof in the mouth beware And I've never known the difference Between man and swine Of rabid sex so self-aware It happens all the time I want you sick and slovenly I want you all the time No common lines to hide behind It happens all the time It happens all the time It happens all the time

And with the presence of power Comes the rebellion of innocence We're in this all for each other Lifetime reversal in decline Commencing countdown the time has come Battle lines are drawn Commit the ashes back to the earth Lifetime no decline or falling back to the end of the line You've known the secret all along Never stayed where you belong A battleground that you adore A heavy heart in a savage world This is a war with love as a weapon When all that you've lived for is gone Heavily armed stay ready for anything I don't believe the innocent night or day I'm at the mercy of all i say I don't give anything away I don't give anything away You've known the secret all along Never stayed where you belong A battleground that you adore A heavy heart in a savage world And it's a savage world One that I've never known Out of the safety of your home This is a war with love as a weapon When all that you've lived for is gone Heavily armed stay ready for anything I don't believe the innocent night or day I'm at the mercy of all I say I don't give anything away I don't give anything away

I can't feel anything, I don't respond to pleasure or pain, a vapid void, neglected toy, saturate in shame Is it better than, better than the rest or does this end with abruptness, shallow at best I don't know anyone, I don't know anything but this, met with either the calm or massive resistance And at the end of your everyday disaster, does it keep getting faster Awaiting patiently as the circle completes, it's finally coming around, but when the smoke has cleared it's been another year Of wasting and running around I don't know anyone, I don't know anything but this, met with either the calm or massive resistance And at the end of your everyday disaster, does it keep getting faster Awaiting patiently as the circle completes, it's finally coming around, but when the smoke has cleared it's been another year Of wasting and running and finally coming around

Oh you're in the crosshairs did you ever know You're in the process of phasing out War for peace every treaty written in blood Struck down with disease Get away Give up the prospects of Better days They're over you're washed up Against your own kind the animal Cannibalistic inseparable War for peace every treaty written in blood Struck down with disease Innovations of warring clans Sacrificial the contracts of man Devoid of purpose or precedence A selfish existence violent by nature Get away Give up the prospects of Better days They're over you're washed up I'm a masochistic machine I shit where I fuck where I eat So don't ever listen to anything I say Cuz I just don't believe Anything anymore And I've lied to myself And I've stolen so much more but All I need is something that's new All that I've made I can't undo All I need is someone like you You're never lost I'm not confused Fates lie to me Lie to the faces of all that believe in Faith the price of virtue Paid in full is it all that you've worked for

I'm out of balance with the earth Out of rhythm with the moon Just a savage primal being To the modern world immune To the modern world immune There is no solace this way I know you want me as an enemy I know you want all you can never see But we're all living in purgatory Damned it's all a part of the plan Wherever you walk and everywhere that you stand You stand in the way Another cycle ends too soon Another season of monsoons Just a savage primal being To the modern world immune There is no solace this way I know you want me as an enemy I know you want all you can never see But we're all living in purgatory Ascendance pretending Immortal wandering Look to the skies Look to the heavens for guidance or lies And through the depths of oblivion Lies your living salvation I'm out of balance with the earth Out of rhythm with the moon Just a savage primal being And now it's over and there's no way To find the solace today I know you want me as enemy I know you want all you can never see We're all living in purgatory It's so ordinary Human oratory We're all living in purgatory

Severed into separates We are segmentary habitats All that we know never has the structure Gotten through Place everyone into a maze Watch them run around the race Work your life away End up in the streets Oh the price you'll pay Never be at ease The need to be together Or put in your place Muzzled bound and tethered A compromise you make Involuntary crime Flares up A solitary life Masks the mass hysteria And you should know This is no area to be alone So work your life away End up in the streets Oh the price you'll pay Never be at ease The need to be together Or put in your place Muzzled bound and tethered A compromise you make Your process leads you Where your thoughts misread you A peasant once removed Brand new set of rules They'll never leave you Once you shelter and feed them Supplemented And synchronized Work your life away End up in the streets Oh the price you'll pay Never be at ease The need to be together Or put in your place Muzzled bound and tethered A compromise you make A compromise you make

This strategy won't change It's over when Never do you gain And always you win And tragedy remains Though we're given Every chance to change We don't listen just pass the blame Sing over decay Blood flowing the wrong way A constant state of refusal Now it's too late When you're ready you will see The maker's always been within your hands Destroyer at your feet Save every resolution You never could create When your way is the only way You can't look at yourself and say 'I was wrong' You've got the head of the king On the body of a pawn The passion of a storm The contemplation in the eye A separatist within our midst A loyalist divide When your way is the only way You can't look at yourself and say 'I was wrong' You've got the head of a king On the body of a pawn When it's not the life you want What answers do you need Want everything up front Prepare to meet defeat When its not the life you want What answers do you need Want everything up front Such turbulence such turbulence Won't go away silence never stays And such sympathies such sympathies Will never fade some are never made Never made All living is All knowing Or so you thought But it's never been the same When your way is the only way You can't look at yourself and say 'I was wrong' You've got the head of the king on the body of a pawn Is this all the result Of conflict You know that we're not all so different We share the same space or find a better place And I'd give I'd give anything if this would all stop Let me walk away

I'm that face you think you recognized Saw you in a dream Saw your life flash by Hallucinating Looking through the crooked glass Prison within A prism like existence We'll never know the truth We'll never get a chance To undo or relive our youth Put every sacred place in a state of stasis nonentities And I'm the bitter release I'm the better disease Come down with me A secondary life to precede visions from your past Feeling that you've saved the worst for last You're on the path prepared to misstep but it's never where you go It's who you've seen and the impressions that you leave We'll never know the truth We'll never get a chance To undo or relive our youth Put every sacred place in a state of stasis nonentities And I'm the bitter release I'm the better disease Come down with me Come down with me Come down with me Your life in control separated What we know and who we are Put every sacred place in a state of stasis nonentities And I'm the bitter release I'm the better disease Come down with me Beyond the life you The life you know As a phantom as a phantom Beyond the life you The life you know As a phantom as a phantom

Create the same opposition It's all part of the plan Design the sordid creations Wipe the blood from your blade The call of the pigs Sense the defeat in the air Take all of their heads Leave everybody to rot to the end In the wake of men Living on borrowed land So you can carry out The will of your master's plan And I've been a slave and a noble man No difference anyway I've been away for too long to tell The predator from prey Erase, erase the division It's a sign of revolt Always silence my barrier Are we products of all we've been taught? In the wake of men Living on borrowed land Is all we know And I've been a slave and a noble man No difference anyway I've been away for too long to tell The predator from prey Our will is Our will is dead When we hang our heads Defeated and beaten down Your faith is a river in which you will drown Our will is Our will is dead When we hang our heads Defeated and beaten down Your faith is a river in which you will drown We are a sign that burns We burn it everyday And I've been a slave and a noble man No difference anyway I've been away for too long to tell The predator from prey Go and cover your heads You don't know how to live You're already dead This is the moment to Free your pitiful soul You don't exist When you're under control This is the time to decide
