Distemper 03:06
the end is coming say goodbye no more dead promises no more cool lies civilization cut and dried the hour of reckoning that hour has come and passed us by perish the thought wish it away follow your bliss down into your grave save yourself mistakes... landslides one giant stumble for mankind each step towards modernness two steps behind forget your cares forget your crimes your world has broken down your money cannot save you now relish the thought wish it away follow your bliss down into your grave save yourself mistakes... landslides aeons divide millennia subside

Morningstar 03:48
the tired and the poor complain free-born and still in chains no matter how the thought's ingrained free will is just a long cold dreaming bow made of fire made of clay read it again nothing lost, nothing gained all supposition vain the huddled masses all deceived by wretched craving thieves all around you hope is grieved ignorance is just faith's unspoken vow made of fire made of clay read it again no fate ordained made of fire made of clay read it again nothing lost, nothing gained all supposition vain the dragon slain your borders breaking down perceptions chafe and the doubt is growing the empire maimed your borders breaking down perceptions chafe and the doubt is growing made of fire made of clay read it again no fate ordained made of fire made of clay read it again nothing lost, nothing gained all supposition vain

High Horse 04:16
for gold and greed they sailed across the seas the violence of the righteous did guide them in freedom's name every inch was claimed and providence did shine down upon them yeah this horse is right take the high horse this horse is right claim the low road this horse is right for you we made our beds across the land we spread like the pious, loving virus that buys you on freedom's wings facts are stupid things especially when they come back to bite you yeah this horse is right take the high horse this horse is right claim the low road this horse is right for you it's how we've been trained while you're bleeding and your pockets are drained who are you feeding? who stands to gain? this horse is right take the high horse this horse is right claim the low road this horse is right for you

the billions waft across the sky they humble and dare midway between the gods and beasts yet going nowhere credulity kills while conjecture thrills there's gold in those hills! but beware the shills waist deep in gasoline the sworn enemies poised three matches one, the other five who is destroyed? credulity kills while conjecture thrills there's gold in those hills! but beware the shills somewhere, something, waiting to be known who speaks for us? who claims the throne? who goes on trial? who casts the stone? credulity kills while conjecture thrills there's gold in those hills! but beware the shills the flame it fades, trembles and shakes the darkness gathers in its place the demons stir and give chase

my soul is screaming down my back i didn't even hear the rifle crack don't need the flesh don't need the fight just love the sport love the spite and i say fill the canyons take the holy man at his word damned if you do and damned sure if you don't rolling backwards thinning the herd the four winds are about to break from honest deals with the snakes burn all blankets you can find burn all the papers you have signed and i say fill the canyons take the holy man at his word damned if you do and damned sure if you don't rolling backwards thinning the herd when it's time weep and pray my soul is singing its last song dying like a hero going home and i say fill the canyons take the holy man at his word damned if you do and damned sure if you don't rolling backwards thinning the herd

rules! any fool can make laws! bound to bend and break dig! truth! not too hard to feign thrall! less and less arcane dig! disobey! lead your rotted flock the dumb and blind frozen, numb and gray all your patrons in decline keep your lobby sated they crawl and climb blood and money tamed aging faces smug and so sublime as aristotle would say some rule and others obey no more, no less it's innate disobey!

Goat Leaves 03:48
though i'm sure you had your reasons there is nothing more you can say every year it has seasons even the tightest knots eventually fray don't rouse the giant when he's sleeping storms are headed for the shore will you be eaten, trying to get even? cause you never could close that door there's a funeral in the offing there are no cards left you can play when you finally smell the coffin the stench of the rotten will never decay don't rouse the giant when he's sleeping storms are headed for the shore will you be eaten, trying to get even? cause you never could close that door

Dead Wrong 04:17
something is sitting in the room elephants and shadows slowly starting to loom vultures are waiting down the hall eyeing carrion from the coming fall with the hours growing late you'll be the first in line to dodge your fate thick foam and scum the sickness brewing as the man kicks at the throng back in the dirt where you belong when the hard times come it's his undoing cause you're dead wrong dead wrong dead (dead) wrong dead (dead) wrong as the fires burn and blaze as the oceans boil and cities razed when it's all undone the wisemen rue it and the maker wax and wanes can't hear your cries through the searing pain when the end times come the skies will prove it cause you're dead wrong dead wrong dead (dead) wrong dead (dead) wrong the ride is ending soon turning earth into endless dunes the great, sacred womb withered to dust emerging a tomb cause you're dead wrong dead wrong dead (dead) wrong dead (dead) wrong wait the crowning squall the hovering gloom the growing pall ruin coming for us all the spreading cataclysm the final crawl

Zealots 05:09
is it healing? the god shaped hole in your spine and are you kneeling? cowering reverence frightened of your divine all roads lead to rome all roads lead to rome no questions that's what you're raised to believe no discretion the pride of the proverbs 'ask and ye shall receive' all roads lead to rome all roads lead to rome all roads lead to rome all roads lead to rome travesty heresy valor you're able to banish the ethos of yesterday's wars fairy tales legends myths and or fables punish the orthodox mores of lore all things are possible the unthinkable waits.. and it waits sorrow and pestilence and the future looks grave... grave through my eyes time and you follow the rest left to wander in deep in the night and tomorrow you falter and fall to your knees and you cry well we all want a perfect world and with courage we might but all i can scream at you is 'the moment is ripe' all roads lead to rome all roads lead to rome
