12. Forever
There’s no conscious in failure
No room for mistake
For their own gain they’d take my life
For their own gain they’d make me pay
Don’t want to lose my place
Don’t want to quit before I make my place
There is a war on culture
In every aspect of life
This war is not in passing
This war progresses everyday
This war gets more and more funding
Then bleeds you to nothing when it’s done
Nothing is forever
Nothing promised, nothing owed
Any day could be the day
Your whole world comes crashing down

13.Thirteen
Thirteen sings to me, my shining star
Thirteen leads me astray
Thirteen knows my name
Thirteen screams my name
With all the confidence I can collect
I justify every move
No matter how many times I fall
Thirteen knows my name
Thirteen screams my name
Windows of opportunity come and go
Obligations do the same
Consequence is the only reality
Thirteen knows my name
Thirteen screams my name
The path I walk is implied
No promises of refuge or sustenance
I will not be divine/will not be blessed/unholy
Keep pushing forward / Blinded by thoughts / Wasted time
Always there / Always watching / Always ready
Thirteen knows my name / Thirteen screams my name / Thirteen is my name
When I bleed, I bleed red
I mate. I eat. I sleep.
One day I’ll die
hirteen won’t mourn the loss

The Hour Of The Rat

16. The Hour of the Rat
A day without conflict
A day without choice
A day that does not lead to another day
In quick succession
Moments pass like slides
Snap shots turn to memories turn to lies
Feeding the seed of doubt
Collecting the reasons for
A genuine feeling of empathy
Carries me through the night
The fury of the fight
The violent slumber of a day past
Begging to be taken away
Begging to be taken away
I have not found inspiration in faith
I have not found solace in the acceptance of failure
Tossing and turning, close your eyes tight
Itching and Scratching, up all night
The Hour of the Rat
My thoughts turn to what cannot be had
Rewind what must be meant for another time
Clinched teeth chip away what can’t be seen
Staring into a black so deep it can’t stare back
The rat can’t be free, forever locked into regret
Sickened by the clock that cannot turn back

17. The Ultimate Disappointment
Rest assured nothing will change
Nothing will move
Except everything always
A scale model tragedy happening
At the very moment of elation to some
Forced moment of rest to ponder and regret
Relief at the end of devastation
This acceptance brings me closer to
All I have known
All I want to know
Challenged by experience
To fear the ultimate disappointment
The ultimate disappointment
The ultimate disappointment
A porous, breathing, sliver of truth
Solicits hope to desperation
Reveals to me the unfathomable
The journey unfolds and embroils
A complexity of behavior not taken back
The ultimate disappointment
Face down in concrete
Why couldn’t I know
Why can’t I tell
Why can’t I live again
To change the journey and relive what I regret
Our battered spirit decomposes like the flesh on our bones will
Disappears like our possessions will
Moves on like your friends will
Like your family will
Like the world will

15. I Cannot Die Tonight
Too much to lose, too much to gain
Motivation and responsibility bleed together, glaring straight ahead
I beg for mercy, retrace my steps
I cannot die tonight
A mouth to feed
A friend to bury
Work to be done
I cannot die tonight
One single fleeting moment of disregard
Just one instance of indifference
Can make the difference
This burden falls on me
haunts my dreams
I cannot die tonight
I cannot die tonight

5. Forget What You’ve Been Told
O.K., they’ve crossed the line
Our intelligence is being insulted
Shoving shit down our throats has become too fucking effective
Forcing us to passively consume
They’ll feed you what you want – just let them know
The quickest way to end your pain is to stab you in the heart
Know your weakness, they do
Name your weakness, or they will
Forget what you’ve been told
I can see myself wipe my eyes in the faces of so many
Some can forget, some can ignore, some fade away over time
But the rest of us are bitter and cold and out for revenge
Summoned to tell the truth – forced responsibility
Pay with your life – giving up your life

14. To Be a Pillar
The Blood Coursing through my veins makes me animal
Inorganic propaganda floods my walking corpse
Can’t seem to dodge the projectile of contradiction barreling through
Poker face of the jester, sinister smile with broken teeth
Keeping motives pure requires selflessness not quite understood
Obedience is steadfast in order for masses to survive
Motivation for staying power in the form of dollars and cents
An ego deviance by all makes fight or flight and easy choice
Just as soon predict failure then close the eyes and leap
To explore my unknown brings each new day
Obstacles that bring disappointment come crumbling down
To persevere for family and friends summons strength through pain
Strength Through Pain
So easy to forget that’s the reason for it all
To Be a Pillar
Dedicated to building a foundation for all
Not exempt from reason
Devour
Lust
Violence
Guilt
Intention

Nakedness As Insult

Nakedness As Insult?
The man was already sick, long before the magazines and movies
So now you think it’s sexist, to show the human body?
Who are you protecting, and at the same time oppressing?
Whose contest is this?
Who would really want to win?
Nakedness as insult?
or fondness of natural beauty?
a matter of intelligence, a matter of personal choice
in which should be analyzed individually,
and not stereotypically
who’s oppressing who?
who’s the rapist in this room?
if it’s a sickness it needs to be addressed,
Instead of people on all sides
being ignored, accosted and oppressed

I love the combination of the late 80s deathgrind sound with Incantation style cavernous death metal. These guys have a good understanding of speed dynamics too; when the tempo drops the grooves hit hard. Also the aesthetic is super cool.
