A1. PREACHER
agent of a dying god
sound of triumph
whimper of defeat
blaring screams
from wounds so deep
well written melodies
composed by fears
understated issues
fall on deaf ears
doomsday preacher
with thundering voice
he came to enlighten us
to the darkness that lasts
overcompensated souls
with fuming mouths to feed
targeted by the crusader of greed
with words designed to deceive
but the power of christ doesn’t compel me
doomsday preacher
came to enlighten us
to the darkness that lasts
he’s an agent of a dying god
he came to enlighten us
to the darkness that lasts
doomsday preacher
shining crosses hanging from your madness
constant hunger for power and violence
doomsday preacher
he came to enlighten us
to the darkness that lasts
but the power of christ doesn’t compel me
“properly read, the bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.”

A2. VIOLENCER
lay low or hang high
violencer
creates a climate of fear
he dares us to question his reign of terror
but he doesn’t owe us no answer
violencer
he’s here to stay like a fucking cancer
his system is perfect
and we deserve it
as we chose this
so fucking eat it
violencer
enthroned again
this time with a barbed wire crown
you can lay low or hang high
his heart is a black stone
that breaks all the windows
to keep an eye on us
to make sure we keep our mouths shut
violencer
dares us to ask any questions
his system is perfect
no one could beat him
his reign of terror is bloody working
violencer
enthroned again
this time it’s for ever
violencer
dares us to question his reign of terror
“world belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. world belongs to humanity.”

A3. TERRORIZER
unbeaten propaganda
terrorizer
fear thy leader
instant warlords
running amok
hunting instincts
triggered by weakness
1312 written all over their crests
they cannot crucify me
if my hand is in a fist

fear thy leader

his face turned into a mask

A4. LAWGIVER
óvakodj az embertől
beware the beast man
for he is the devil's pawn
alone among god's primates
he kills for sport or lust or greed
yea, he will murder his brother
to possess his brother's land
let him not breed in great numbers
for he will make a desert
of his home and yours
shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair
for he is the harbinger of death
a víz fertőzött, szenteld meg előre
a majom visszafejlődött és ember lett belőle
elhagyta a kolóniát, a gyengék uralják az erőseket
tudománynak hívják, ami ellent mond a természetnek
villog a kék fény, sok fánkzabáló polizei
szétzúznak mindent a banánzabáló gorillák
baszd meg nekem nem mondod meg, hogy mi a faszt csináljak
az agyamat nem mosod kis és nem borotválsz simára
sok nyakkendős kurva a parlamentben, kőkorszak alkotó rendszer
majd egyszer a naplemente lehúzza a mélybe a buta gólemek tündöklését
a háború vége sohasem jelenti a békét
sohasem jelenti a békét…
“óvakodj az embertől, mert ő az ördög eszköze. isten teremtményei közül egyedül ő öl sportból, pénzért. megöli testvérét, hogy megszerezze annak vagyonát. ne hagyjátok, hogy elszaporodjon, mert elpusztítja az otthonát, de a tiéteket is. verjétek láncra és vigyétek vissza a dzsungelbe, mert ő a halál hírnöke.”

A5. ENSLAVER
a choice and it’s absence
never a moment’s rest
in this barren wasteland
the exploiter’s realm
has a wide expanse
enslaving the masses
without consequences
no bread but the biggest circus
we’re nothing but pallbearers
carrying a box of dirt
lingering death closer than ever
we’re on the edge
hate rose to it’s climax
yet we still in awe of the serpent
that lurks in our garden
skulks in the shadows
and steals the lives of others
political gain
with no control
suppressed anger
never seen before
enslaving the masses
without consequences
no bread but the biggest circus
we’re nothing but pallbearers
carrying a box of dirt
lingering death closer than ever
we’re on the edge
enslaving the masses
without consequences
no bread but the biggest circus
we’re nothing but pallbearers
carrying a box of dirt
lingering death closer than ever
we’re on the edge
hate rose to it’s climax
“the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants”

B6. KINGMAKER
empire or graveyards
decades of dark crimes
last for lifetimes
in this empire of graveyards
it’s a religion
and he’s the cult leader
worshipped and loved
in this empire of graveyards
just crown him already
he’s been ruling over this country
with a tyrant mentality
every word twisted
constantly changing
nothing is permanent
who needs a future when we have a king
unequipped hospitals
echoing stadiums
eternal enslavement
for a temporary grant
running towards
the welcoming arms
of the great unknown
i hope they know they’re in a fucking cult
just crown him already
he’s been ruling over this country
with a tyrant mentality
every word twisted
constantly changing
nothing is permanent
who needs a future when we have a king
just crown him already
he’s been ruling over this country
with a tyrant mentality
everyone’s cheering, you’re a king now
no one’s stopping you főispán
magyarország előre megy, a kurva anyád
“a jövő térképén magyarország helyén egy fehér folt lesz, ezzel a felírással: ez magyarország volt, de elsikkasztották”

B7. WOLFTAMER
history shapes us
waving a flag in front of invading tanks
in the middle of freedom square
drones circling the endless convoy
that’s coming to destroy
civilisations fall
humanity evolves
we become starving wolves
some with rifles wearing wool
others got eaten, hunger rules
he cracks his whip and we back fall in line
it’s still his hunting ground
“history is a vast early warning system”
- norman cousins

B8. WEAPONIZER
planet of the greats
barbed-wire entanglements
hidden machine gun nests
all our concerns are nature of violence
there’s no solace above nor below
only us battling one another
and there won’t be peace until it’s profitable
heavy is the head that wears the crown of swords
tier 666: welcome to the bottom of the cauldron
in the year of the lord
two thousand and tears
only the dead have seen the end of -
- this war for the planet of the greats
fire will rain, it’ll pour non stop
this is a war for the planet of the greats
if we burn you burn with us
darkness breathing down your neck
you can feel the eyes on your back
by speaking your mind
you make yourself a target
don’t ever forget that
but we must keep fighting
for the last fortress in the middle of this war
this is a war for the planet of the greats
if we burn you burn with us
“i know not with what weapons world war iii will be fought, but world war iv will be fought with sticks and stones”

B9. PAYMASTER
the most corruptible souls
the most corruptible souls
sitting ducks
blinded by orange neon light
force fed geese smiling
as they’re treated like royalty
filthy swine bathing in fear
welcoming the rusted blade
life-stock by choice
these are the most corruptible souls
unlike theirs my spine’s not for sale
i’d rather be a beggar sitting straight
on the curb of these streets gold paved
keep your fucking money i want change
emotional blackmailer
turns us against each other
because he knows goddamn well
that a brother’s blade cuts deeper
our paymaster
seeks out the most corruptible souls
unlike theirs my spine’s not for sale
i’d rather be a beggar sitting straight
on the curb of these streets gold paved
keep your fucking money i want change
the most corruptible souls
“if you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor”
