Class War

|
Holding the reins
Steering towards
Total extinction
As mankind struggles to defend
You attempt to reality, bend
But what is the cost?
Is all of life
Worth your short-term goals?
And at the end of the road
You have left them in the cold
And time after time
You reach for life’s fleeting pleasures
But naught to be found
Your passions lie in your possessions
And time after time
You tell yourself
That all is fine
And wither your worthless life away
We’ll send you to the grave
Lives will be lost as you take from the earth
(Class war!)
Your riches are temporary
You take from the poor to gather up more
(Class war!)
Your lies are no longer ensnaring
Dividing humanity to conquer them all
(Class war!)
Oppression for one and all
United we stand and divided we crawl
(Class war!)
Exclusion will be our downfall
Class is for
The capitalists to
Divide and conquer
For tiers of power are
The perfect illusion of democracy
Of the freedom to choose
One’s own masters
One’s own slaves
One’s own life is in their hands
And we let it stay that way
Lives will be lost as you take from the earth
(Class war!)
Your riches are temporary
You take from the poor to gather up more
(Class war!)
Your lies are no longer ensnaring
Dividing humanity to conquer them all
(Class war!)
Oppression for one and all
United we stand and divided we crawl
(Class war!)
Exclusion will be our downfall

The Accuser
03:30
|
|||
|
Blood stained linens of white
A pointed hood, concealed by nickel and brass
The slave catchers offspring cloaked in blue
Cowers behind a bullet proof vest
Pathetic coward, his badge conceals
A swastika marking his chest
A mindless colonial soldier
No more no less
You think that your murders
One good deed can negate
And that going to church
Will wipe out your rapes and your murders
Abusive and mindless
You waste your existence
Oppression on our dime
And hope that your hate won't usher your time
It rapidly draws near
No shelter in sight
The hand of oppression
A murderer enacting the law of the land
A gang of criminal thugs
Filling the prisons with innocent men
A rapist, abuser
Blatantly lying that you serve and protect
The guilty accuser
You've placed the rope around your own neck
The hand of oppression
A murderer enacting the law of the land
A gang of criminal thugs
Filling the prisons with innocent men
A rapist, abuser
Blatantly lying that you serve and protect
The guilty accuser
You've placed the rope around your own neck
Serve and protect
A mindless brigade of jackbooted thugs
Cut through the neck
Destroying what serves as the brittle facade
Serve and protect
A mindless brigade of nazi fucks
Cut through the neck
Destroying what serves as the brittle facade of justice
The hand of oppression
A murderer enacting the law of the land
A gang of criminal thugs
Filling the prisons with innocent men
A rapist, abuser
Blatantly lying that you serve and protect
The guilty accuser
You've placed the rope around your own neck
Serve and protect
Cut through the neck
Serve and protect
Cut through the neck
Serve and protect
Cut through the neck
Serve and protect

Justice

Bring in the liars and thieves
Bring in the poor
And they’ll tell you of grief
Answer the riddle
The ones in the middle
And losing it all
Is this all that you fear?
Fire awakens
The cry of the damned
Suffer, the weak
And return to the land
The ice of the empire
Will crumble and end
And fuck those on top
You will die by our hand
Fire awakens
The cry of the damned
The ice of the empire
Will crumble and end
Can you tell the truth to me
(Is this what you call just
Is this what you call right?)
Exploiting the young and the free
(And after it all
Can you even call it life?)
Explain this system of greed
(Is this what you call just
Is this what you call right?)
Killing the hope of humanity
(And after it all
Can you even call it life?)
Sentence the victims to dust
And burn off the entrails
Of endless disgust
The empire states
Over buried remains
That only in them
Can you honestly trust
Rot will awaken
The cry of all men
The wails of the children
Who bury their kin
And endless display
Of the bloodthirsty race
We’ll claw out the eyes
And lay it to waste
Fire awakens
The cry of the damned
Ice of the empire
Will crumble and end
Can you tell the truth to me
(Is this what you call just
Is this what you call right?)
Exploiting the young and the free
(And after it all
Can you even call it life?)
Explain this system of greed
(Is this what you call just
Is this what you call right?)
Killing the hope of humanity
(And after it all
Can you even call it life?)

The Hammer

Parasitic
Bloated
And covered in shit
Resurrecting
The rancid corpse of
Hate and oppression
Feeble bodies
Wallowing in ignorant pride
Cut from humanity
Through blatant fucking lies
We'll take to the streets
To shatter the bones of your structures
And fill its body full of holes
We'll tear it limb from limb
In agonized throes
You'll cry for mercy
But you are all alone
Your cries of supremacy
Are empty and shallow at best
Colonial mindset
Still stuck in a past of extermination
Standing atop miles of corpses
The rotting foundation of culture
Flaccid and lifeless
You wave your imperial genocide flag
We'll take to the streets
To shatter the bones of your structures
And fill its body full of holes
We'll tear it limb from limb
In agonized throes
You'll cry for mercy
But you are all alone
We'll take to the streets
To shatter the bones of your structures
And fill its body full of holes
We'll tear it limb from limb
In agonized throes
You'll cry for mercy
But you are all alone
A violent rupture
We've fucking had enough
Flaying the flesh of your order to bone
Immolate all to ash and dust
The equalizing hammer of justice
Pummels the fetid cadaver of old
Lending a voice to the silent rejected
Freeing the poor from the system's death hold

Law of the Land
04:08

Distribute your wages
Like rations to the starving poor
While raking in record profits
You cut back on spending some more
Your greed for money and power
Ravages the ones to whom you owe
Without them producing your riches
You’d slowly die in a hole
A murmur runs through the shop floor
A rising tide of taking it back
This factory belongs to us
No longer slaves to a pay check
Your efforts to stifle rebellion
To stomp out the flame of the just
Have turned to rot and rust
Your heads on the chopping block
And after the end
Freedom shall be the law of the land
And after you fall
Freedom shall reign for one and all
And after you’re gone
The workers that fought will
Tell everyone in the world
A new social order
New freedoms are being unfurled
This new way of living
No bosses, no managers, no masters
And there are no slaves
The old social order is sent
Straight to a fiery grave
And after the end
Freedom shall be the law of the land
And after you fall
Freedom shall reign for one and all
