You and I in our stale weathered hole, sip the supermarket Merlot, The last of its kind The tube is chanting cries of a coming end to all, fear the Judgement of us all The neighbors are clearing out But I'll stay for a while for I died and saw the sign There was a time when we broke the day and carried sugar up the hill, canaries of a dark, secret world, snatching people and their screaming ilk, carried Turn your face away, look at me, be happy Take my hand and clear your mind, but really, The threat outside approaches quickly It may be time for us to hold the line But I'll stay for a while for I died and saw the sign All my regrets Never forget you Fear my portent Now I protect you Can you select ones who affect you Always reject Cannot respect you All my regrets Never forget you Fear my portent Now I perfect you Speak to me My TV Sing to me You sermonize hatred Strike my face Reveal your grace To all's distaste The fight is yours, take it As the fires rain down Over your head Goodbye All my cells prepare For rebirth I won't be the same Speak to me My TV Sing to me Your sermonized hatred Strike my face Reveal your grace To all's distaste The fight is yours, so take it Out by the broken road A gray death approaches slow Out by the Panchaean way Oblivion led astray All my regrets Never reflect you Kiss me goodbye I must go try and Join with the fight Try as I might the journey begins now we descend It's futile But I don't care How wrong I was There's no one to spare I should have known Love me Don't telephone but maybe I see the light Nuclear white A dark land in an ocean of white Was this the afterlife expected? And there's a billion souls rejected Floating in corrugated spaces Before me you dissolved like Lot's wife The memory preserved in ash piles The four horsemen's work is not quite over I'll fight this war someday, or another Die again and fight Die again and live Die again, repeat

I suck in the air through my rebreather 5000 feet above Korean Earth High above Kaesong, I hear you sing to me Something I knew I once heard Was this ever but a silly dream? Who was it I'm meant to be? Please Something I knew I once heard Leave Someday I'll never come home Please Swim in the neural net, atone Leave Some day I'll find you there alone Please Bring yourself forth to me Leave me alone to grieve Please Some day we'll find ourselves alone Upon our final approach The nanites infect my soul with terrabytes of telemetry a knowing of the land as far as I see Voices speak triumphantly with angry cries of victory A specter of the past appears Please Bring me back to you Leave Someday I'll win this one for you Please Someday I'll never be alone Please Someday I'll never be alone Descend Fire away Decend Fire away Decend Fire away Descend I'm going in With the flick of my selector Everything you know is ashes Seven miles past the DMZ Bringing doom upon your family Carrying seven airburst warheads An avatar of terror Bringing your annihilation Forever you shall never be the sky is red like the blood of your citizens Spears of flame rain down upon your children Cut off your fucking head My hunger must be fed My love of death exceeds your love of life Your love of the free precedes my right to fight Every one of ours Is ten of your own You are all the sickness of the world we fought so hard to cure I have filled my heart with hate and I will burn your fucking face Descend Fire away Decend Fire away Decend Fire away Descend I'm going in I have come to smash the state Unite Assimlate your fate And I've nailed the hands of your finest men to the doors of wisdom, now secured There are men with daggers sanctioned from the deep who approach your herald with sickness in their eyes Upon your pyre We shall construct A throne made of gold for all to fear No sacrifice is ever too much There's many of you Your corpses will do

Down the vanguard way we go A gleaming world I once foretold Don't mind the smell, it's still brand new Step forth and see, it's a hell of a view I built this place with my hands Upon a bed of lies of treachery and sordid deals There's bodies in the walls and smashed up bones under the roads We had to make do with circumstance This city was built just for you Pain and suffering are memories of the past Stay and bring your family here But first you must kneel before me I can achieve What I believe I will achieve What I've decreed Never again shall democracy prevail Never, again, tonight I am the emperor of mankind we made the world alright We gave you all your rights I am the emperor of mankind we made the world alright We gave you all your rights There are the infidels, they hide We'll save them all, don't fight But if we must, they'll die Hunt them all down in the night No prisoners this time Your freedom's but a lie I will tell you just what I am I am a savior of the land On this crusade I stand upon the heathens that are dealt with might I am the emperor of mankind we made the world alright We gave you all your rights There are the infidels, they hide We'll save you all, don't fight But resist and you die You will never take me You can never have me You will never take me You can never have me I have been ordained I have been ordained I have been orda ined You shall all be slain I am in the system I am now immortal I am now forever This is now or never Soon I'll leave this body Death will have no meaning The golden palace crumbles For I'm now more than human There was a tear in my eye You called my name I remember you now It's too late for me Leave the dream Beneath today Bring us all back to a familiar place Cleanse my name (hold it high) Tell them all of everything that was Cleanse my name (don't deny) Tell them all the truth as it stood here Now that you're home I'm no longer alone Cleanse my name (hold it high) tell everyone of everything that was Cleanse my name (don't deny) Tell them all the truth as it stood here Cleanse my name (hold it high) tell everyone of everything that was Cleanse my name (don't deny) Return to black
