Here I lay, underground, this is my anti-commencement There's no light there's no sound there is so sense of remembrance of who I was, who you are, or what the world was before this All that's left is a darkened and blurring twisted semblance Let me tell you what death's like giving all your strength to fight so you stay in the light but it's too damn bright so the only other option is to lay in eternal night But this is no catacomb You can tell by the name that's etched into the neighboring headstone I'm in my grave Accompanied by centipedes and bugs that like to feast on remains. Here I lay, underground, this is my anti-commencement There's no light there's no sound there is so sense of remembrance of who I was, who you are, or what the world was before this All that's left is a darkened and blurring twisted semblance Plotted near a crumbling mausoleum what a wonderful sight to see as I remain here for eons No visitors My wife won't come because In life I did all I could to distance her The ones I loved, they have grown and would rather leave me on my own There's no time for their past life or a fucking box of bones I am gone and forgotten I lay cold and rotten My bones dry of their marrow Embalmed like a fallen pharaoh. Here I lay, underground, this is my anti-commencement There's no light there's no sound Because i'm buried beneath

You are blinded, walking through the dark With no free thought, to set you all apart You just obey the scriptures like a mindless creature and you cling to every word thats spoken by a preacher When will it end No ones soul can transcend When will you realize, that god has left us all behind People, can't you see, spirits cannot live for all eternity They say that history repeats itself, well do you know what happens when you don't think for yourselves We're all brainwashed systematically but no one seems to care about this sick insanity We all proclaim to do the best we can but then we turn around and demonize our fellow man When will it end No ones soul can transcend When will you realize, the book you read is just a lie People, condemn the church They don't do shit to stabilize the earth They say that history repeats itself, well do you know what happens when you can't think for yourselves We all become slaves We all become slaves But still you pray But still you pray You pray to nothing You pray to nothing at all At all

You took our dreams and turned them all to dust You take our money then demand our trust You want our lives and our very souls all so America can achieve it's goals You created the problems we face today You won't change, it doesn't matter what we say Silence all free-thinkers with your persecution We're all kept in cages Now face our rampages You lie for our protection then question our defection Standing tall, you watch us fall You stagnate our whole nation Corrupt civilization You feed us your bullshit, then profit from our ignorance Standing tall, you sold us all Betrayed us all Turned your backs on us and on everything this country stands for My brothers and sisters i welcome you to the Divided States of America "The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and alter their constitutions of government. But the constitution which at anytime exsists till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to eatablish government, presupposes the duty of every individual to obey established government." We'll never know freedom under your tyranny You create madness You create madness You create chaos You create fear You bring hatred You create judgment You create terror You deny change You bring failure You bring failure You lie for our protection then question our defection Standing tall, you watch us fall You stagnate our whole nation Corrupt civilization You feed us your bullshit, then profit from our ignorance Standing tall, standing tall.. Standing tall, standing tall.. Standing tall, you sold us all

Theres a hole in the world like a great black pit and man is the one that created it As the land we stand on begins to quake and fold, oil companies help write the greatest tragedy ever told Catastrophe strikes as our homes begin to flood and we're questioning why as they drill for the earths blood And as ocean levels rise higher than ever before, it's a sign that the end times are knocking at our door Welcome to corpratocracy, where the wealthy will always stay on top and theres absolutely no accountability for their travesties Big Oil owns the worlds energies and they claim to help it's economies but what about the 100 million of Nigerians that rot in poverty? Well What about them Do you see their hunger, do you feel their pain, can you hear their cries, as their family members drop like flies You pollute our seas, and the air we breathe, and when you reap what you sow, you'll also force us down that rabbit hole. You live well above your needs, with an insatiable greed and as this planet fucking collapses on our knees we plead... God have mercy on their souls and give us back ours which they sold You see the signs The end is nigh We approach our final days, the earth will crumble in their wake but we'll save her, You Soul Savor You monsters Give us back our world This is the final warning of a dying earth So quit trying to deny Or your children will never survive You see it's not too late We can change our fate but we must fight together, or we will all die out forever She cries out in pain as you rape her when you frack When armeggedon comes upon us we can never go back God have mercy on their souls and give us back ours which they sold You see the signs The end is nigh We approach our final days, the earth will crumble in their wake but we'll save her, You Soul Savor Over 1000 workers have lost their lives on oil fields in the U.S. dating back to 2005 Over 300 million gallons of oil has been spilled into our oceans and aquatic ecosystems Nearly 3 million americans now live in fear of earthquakes that are induced by fracking And oil money was used to fuel, a 27 year Angola, civil war Soul Savor, you steal our lives Soul Savor, I see the face you hide Soul Savor, shrouded in lies You won't be happy till we all... Soul Savor, you steal our lives Soul Savor, I see the face you hide Soul Savor, shrouded in lies You won't be happy till we all fucking die

What you get, is what you see Corruption and hypocrisy This is no democracy We're heading towards an anarchy But before we kill each other one more conflict against our brothers So protect the rich Sell out the poor Tell them to prepare for war Our country doesn't give a fuck We send out drone strikes to wherever the fuck we want Another child dead Another troop deployed More houses painted red Another city destroyed Falling into a disgusting spiral We are threatened by our own survival Welcome to my home Do you see, do you see The hypocrite standing right in front of thee Do you hear, do you hear the bullshit fucking lies that they forcefeed in your ears As they sign our own demise you're all too willing to comply Our country's made of glass and all they do is laugh cause.. You're all looking for a scapegoat who you can shame, defame and burn them like a straw filled effigy Cause from themselves they shift the blame with their snake like tounges and sick manipulating fallacies So will you fall into their trap Become a victim of their fabricated perceptions Or will you kill your apathy and see through the misconceptions Open your eyes and you will see you're living in a lie Just look around and you will see you're falling to the ground Sometimes i fucking wonder i cannot deny I ask myself are we all born just to die Sometimes i fucking wonder i cannot deny I ask myself are we all born just to die When you're all thrown into the fire will you consider then that you might have been fucking mistaken We die When we're all thrown into the fire will we consider then that we might have been fucking mistaken This is the end I can see, i can see the hypocrite standing right in front of me I cast aside, cast aside these wothless fucking worms before they spread more lies As they sign our own demise we're all too willing to comply They'll toss our bodies in a pile and all they'll do is smile cause.. We're all looking for a scapegoat who we can shame, defame and burn them like a straw filled effigy Cause from themselves they shift the blame with their snake like tounges and sick manipulating fallacies So will we fall into their trap Become a victim of their fabricated perceptions Or will we kill our apathy and see through our misconceptions A nation lost in totallity cause we reject our very own reality We're dictated by political deformities and we submit into their conformity As we feed from the hands of these politicians we ask them why they still won't listen to our cries Will we ever see through their lies Will we ever see through their disguise

Seven years ago I fell in love with somebody Seven minutes ago I found her body She was lying on the floor covered in red I don’t understand how could you be dead Your twisted frame on blood soaked tile Your eyes looked glazed and filled with denial This can’t be real this must be a dream Wake me from this fucking horrific scene Wretched diamond scorch through my skin My own descent reflects from your faithless sin I froze with fear when I saw you lying there Eyes filled with tears a pain just too much to bare These splintered memories of rage and woe Now where’d you go And in a flash cops burst through the door Their weapons drawn I can hear them roar Don’t move hands up now get down on the floor (x4) I’m Innocent (x3) Don’t take me away We found the knife you took her life in such a flash Here is the proof she cheated you you can’t turn back You can’t turn back There's no second chance Wretched diamond scorch through my skin My own descent reflects from your faithless sin I lost myself when I saw you with him But now in hell I hope you’ll miss him These splintered memories of rage and woe Now I must go I’ve come to realize after it all You cannot play with love You cannot toy with love I've come to realize after it all You cannot play with love You cannot toy with hearts I will not rot inside this prison cell I’ll make my escape and I’ll see you in hell (x2)

Affinity 05:44
I have always seen the darkness inside of me I had only known the hatred that i had grown Beaten and broken i fall again Humiliation that never seems to end In my head In my head But when you all came into my life i had finally dropped the knife You have saved my life All the daily intimidation from fiendish faces and all the insults I would hear year after year, had me walking on shattered glass A life that I didn't want to last but then you showed me there was more than just this torment I might lose my way, in this wicked world, so cruel, but you'll navigate me back to the kindom that we rule I just want to thank you for the times you've always had my back We fought together regardless of how the odds were stacked We stood tall, when their armies were strong, and the conflicts were long but we conquered them all You saved me when i couldn't even breathe You showed me when i was too blind to see that we all need somebody in our lives Someone to catch our tears when we cry People who can take our pain from inside and make us feel alive In my life, you showed me forgivness and sacrifice and i'll remain loyal till the end of all our days Affinity, strengthened by our connectivity I'll always be your armour, your shield, the sword that you'll wield on the battlefield I'll always be right here All the daily intimidation from fiendish faces and all the insults I would hear year after year had me walking on shattered glass A life that I didn't want to last but then you showed me there was more In my life i was taught forgiveness and sacrifice and i'll remain loyal till the end of eternity Affinity
