On the Row 04:20
Through the woods I followed her To the deepest part in which she ran I pulled out my knife and put it to her throat Then I sliced till her blood ran no more A boy laid awake unable to sleep Under his bed waited an ugly creep A cold thing suddenly touched his throat It went into his skin when he started to croak Why did I kill them? They said to say Because I could, I said as I laughed away I pleaded insane to avoid the shot But they could've cared less; I know this because of what I got Filled with ecstasy when blood runs down my arms This is what I live for, for what I strive The only thing that gives me happiness It cures my pain and keeps me sane I awaited the end in isolation Not even a book to cure my cessation The only thing I had was a single light Coming from the window oh so bright They asked what I wanted for my final meal I said there's nothing I crave more than blood I sat on the table with a needle in my arm While chemicals flowed into my brain This is the end Oh, oh, oh This is the, my, end This is where I die I’m slowly dying, inside out I’m dead I’m dead I’m dead I’m dead

Die! Ahh! Now that it's done, nobody has won Atomic bombs in the sky, we're all gonna die Radiation decay as we stare in dismay The loudest sound and a mushroom-shaped cloud Doomsday killing endtime dying Epoch beckon rapture reckon US Russia Cuba China Now it's time for us to all die! Ohh! Kennedy attacked the Bay the Pigs While Khrushchev brought missiles to enrage and rig Reeking of dread were the unsure feds Volition of war had finally bore Stakes are high and tensions are vast Two countries control the fate of the world Each one with a knife at the other one's throat Grenades in each hand of the nations they broke Stakes are high and tensions are vast Two countries control the fate of the world Each one with a knife at the other one's throat Grenades in each hand of the nations they broke Nuclear holocaust Nuclear holocaust Nuclear holocaust We're all mother fucking doomed Young and broken boys sneaking through the jungle Men and women starving in the barren tundras Pacifists refusing to fight And revolutionaries plotting with might Countries divided by literal walls And a communist nation about to fall Blood is being shed within the Red Square Blood is being fed to the men in 'Nam Nuclear holocaust Nuclear holocaust Nuclear holocaust We’re We're all doomed We’re all mother fucking doomed

Ancom 01:28
Now is the time to rise Erect a new government No longer do we have to fight No longer do we have to die So far from the truth is that God damned belief In a system of government and hierarchy I have an answer but nobody seems to care It's just a little thing called anarchy Mutualistic pacifistic Ancomistic libertistic Freedom loving communistic Free market loving capitalistic Mutualistic pacifistic Ancomistic libertistic Freedom loving communistic Free market loving capitalistic I am amcom, I Absolution of state, absolution of pain Absolution of money, absolution of hate Freedom of speech and freedom of war Just another way to make society soar Absolution of state, absolution of pain Absolution of money, absolution of hate Freedom of speech and freedom of war Just another way to make society soar I am ancom I am ancom I am ancom

Noose 04:02
This ignorance inside of you Will bring you down and spit you out It'll influence all the trouble you brew Rent out all of the bullshit you spout Do better than this; be better than that. You've given in, become the new rat. When you sat down on your golden throne, Up your ass went the past year's woes. I was hopeful, disliked what you're about. You gave me all I needed to doubt. We still let you take a cup from our fount. Didn't take too long to piss it back out. Fired the one that could take you down. Now you've become an American clown. Dear Mr. President Donald Trump, Your policies suck and your hair is a dump. Silence the plebeians. Eradicate the congregation, The ones that want to put you out. Push more shit out your mouth, just let it all out. Trumped by ghouls bedridden with pain, Pain caused by your idiotic ways. If God exists, he must whack, For making us listen to this quack, But see God's not the one to blame. We should be the ones beridden with shame. America let's repair our ways. Let's wake up, USA! Let's try to fight it let's try to win. I wanna believe we wanna succeed. Inbred, artless, capital sins Unforgiven faults as the flag bleeds Country's gonna flush, the people gonna weep. Soon James Comey's gonna peep. So much for the GOP, But the Dems would be as bad if you asked me. Sounds of silence Sounds of sorrow Sounds of silence Sounds of sorrow Silence the plebeians. Eradicate the congregation, The ones that want to put you out. Push more shit out your mouth, just let it all out. Silence the plebeians. Eradicate the congregation, The ones that want to put you out. Push more shit out your mouth, just let it all out. Silence the plebeians. Eradicate the congregation, The ones that want to put you out. Push more shit out your mouth, just let it all out. Silence the plebeians. Eradicate the congregation, The ones that want to put you out. Push more shit out your mouth, just let it all out.

Leo's Song 03:13
My days are numbered I can never escape that I am ever encumbered By the threat of obscurity But I can try To leave something in my place that tells the world what I had to say My days are numbered I can never escape that I am ever encumbered By the threat of obscurity But I can try To leave something in my place that tells the world what I had to say

Sun God 03:42
Sun God! As the moon began to take shape The sky turns to a hue of violet The planets all align My body starts to recline And the night starts to fly Ra descends from the sun The Nile reflects his gaze Ra descends from the sun To receive his praise Sacrifice your first born to the gods And cover your doors with their blood When the Sun God punishes us with his plight You'll be saved from his deadly smites He is here to slay us all He is here to end us all As the moon began to take shape The sky turns to a hue of violet The planets all align My body starts to recline And the night starts to fly As the moon began to take shape The sky turns to a hue of violet The planets all align Ra descends from the sun The Nile reflects his gaze Ra descends from the sun To receive his praise Sacrifice your first born to the gods And cover your doors with their blood When the Sun God punishes us with his plight You'll be saved from his deadly smites He is here to slay us all He is here to end us all As the moon began to take shape The sky turns to a hue of violet The planets all align My body starts to recline And the night starts to fly Ra, Sun Ra descends from the sun! Ah! Ah! Ah! The Sun God, Ra! As the moon began to take shape The sky turns to a hue of violet The planets all align My body starts to recline And the night starts to fly As the moon began to take shape The sky turns to a hue of violet The planets all align My body starts to recline He is here to slay us all! Ra descends from the sun!

The Needle 03:28
Ah! From the bottom of my heart Only hate remains for you In the depths of your withered soul Is a monster too wretched to love The black waters rest in sinister silence Like the calm before a storm Death is what lies ahead of you But you refuse to heed my calls You shove the needle into your skin Feel the drugs pulse throughout your veins Insidiously invading your mind It is too late to help you There is fear within your eyes There is hope within your heart There is love locked in your soul You just have to set it free Ignore the others; they matter not All that matters right now is you Don't let the threads that hold you fray And don't you ever give in Fear within your eyes Hope within your heart Love locked in your soul You just have to set it free

All of this terror is scary The sound of the news just fills me with glee Politicians sit up high just pointing to the Middle East Cause our problems lie there in the ISIS ridden desert dunes Save our blessed country from the dirty Muslim terrorists Home of the brave and land of the free America! Such a beautiful land. Such a beautiful American dream. Another school shooting occurred today Followed by hours of media coverage He built a bomb by doing this and blew it up by doing that He stabbed a dude for being black and shot a girl for saying that He was always nice even though he beat his wife He wasn't really Christian even though he went to church every week 1, 2, 3, 4. America! Land of the free America! Home of the brave America! Land of the free America! For you and me America! Such a beautiful land. Such a beautiful American dream. A government that never works. A system that protects our worst. A land where no one ever starves, Where the media worships you. You. You! You. You! Yea! America! Yea! America! Ooh! Oh.

Dark Sun 07:24
The red sun whipped down at my frown Left at the gate in skin and scraps Of the only oasis in this crippled earth The oasis I just happened to call my home Exiled from my homeland For slaying the man who murdered my family What do I have left here? What lies ahead of me? Please don't leave me In the endless desert maze Would you save me? From the dark sun that blocks my gaze Please don't leave me In the endless desert maze Would you save me? From the dark sun that blocks my gaze Ah... Kept out by every settlement passed by My reserves began to run low Hallucinations of my home call out to me My children cry out my name As the butcher ripped out their souls I felt the bright darkness getting nearer Its tongue slithered down the back of my neck I saw the end getting clearer Please don't leave me In the endless desert maze Would you save me? From the dark sun that blocks my gaze The sun calls out my name The desert echoes my shame The barons refuse to accept my name The gods abandoned me in shame I deserve my fate For killing my own sons I denied the truth all along Now lock up my halls and forget my name I deserve my fate For killing my own sons I denied the truth all along Now lock up my halls and forget my name The gods abandoned me in shame

Am I a man? Am I what she needs? Am I your wings to soar? Or an anchor to the bottom? Am I asylum? A safe place? Am I who you'll run to? Or what you'll flee from? Am I a monster? Or am I the one? I can't decide Whether or not I'm the one for you Just leave me You would be so much happier Just leave me You would be so much happier Jekyll and Hyde I don't really know Which one I'm supposed to be Jekyll and Hyde Have I burned away the river or merely dammed up destruction? Is my shell so cold? Have I shed too much? Where is my heart inside of my mind? I've rambled too much, am I lost in my head? Can I ever come back? Or am I just a fool. A cold exterior to kill a molten secret The cold begets a stillness I wish that you could know Your secret's stronger and its sails are lost I wish that you could know what it truly cost Jekyll and Hyde I don't really know Which one I'm supposed to be Jekyll and Hyde Am I a monster Or am I the one I can't decide Whether or not I'm the one for you Am I a monster Or am I the one I can't decide Whether or not I'm the one for you Just leave me You will be so much happier

I float to the sky above My body staring back at me The arms of death caress my soul And now I am finally Free Now I float back down The moon shining off of my face A place of nothing at all A nully infinite prison of Light The gates of heaven I had reached Then they shut in front of me Surrounded by an endless white light A seemingly infinite prison of Light Now I float back down The moon shining off of my face The arms of death caress my soul And now I am finally free Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, And the sea was no more. I also saw the Holy City, a new Jerusalem, Coming down out of heaven from God, Prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be his people And God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, And there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, For the old order had passed away." The one who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things news.” Then, he said, “Write these words down, for they are trustworthy and true.” He said to me, “They are accomplished. I am the Alpha and the Omega, The beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give a gift from the spring of life-giving water. The victor will inherit these gifts, And I shall be his God, and he will be my son. But as for cowards, the unfaithful, The depraved murderers, the unchaste sorcerers, Idol-worshipers, and deceivers of every sort, Their lot is in the burning pool of fire and sulfur, Which is The second death." God left me unfinished!

Promises 04:50
don't really know Why I'm here And some days I don't wanna be Cuz when I look around me I don't see very much Worth staying for But I made you a promise That I'd stay And I promise you That I will But know this I don't really want to But know this as well It has everything to do with you But I made you a promise That I'd stay But you didn't promise And you chose to leave Now what am I to do When all that mattered was you
