Instigate her.

Collapse of your reign we invocate
Your sky will be torn open on this day
These grips of vengeance give the needed strength
Revenge is our fuel to unflinchingly slay
The time has come, I don’t care how
We’re ending you all, the time is now
With no fear of losing your clan is in for a war
I’d lose everything before ever backing down
I now feel no fear; it’s all disappeared
Heightened consciousness whenever you are near
Murderous adulation. Vengeful retaliation in full iteration
Incinerate you all; that time is here
We, the horses upon which you ride
Enslaved our whole lives to your sense of pride
Now reign our retribution upon your unsuspecting bodies
We will never again from you hide
Macabre c’oup d’etat. Blood tides rise
We inundate your land set to bring your demise

Outlander Harvesters
05:35
|
|||
|
They came from the hills by cover of night
Harvester militias, with flesh deprivation
With depleted resources, morals have ceased
They came for our organs in retaliation
Signal fires set on the horizon
Tracking our movements back to our location
Survival empowers their inherent loathing
Easily they overpower our fortifications
Our boldest and bravest counterattack
Defending our forts without hesitation
But their savagery could not be matched
Infiltrating our weaknesses in battle formation
With our warriors gone, our defenses felled
They chose through the rest and enacted serration
Organs were harvested, provisions were sanctioned
Subdivided the survivors and embarked on migration

Invocate Collapse
04:06
|
|||
|
This anchored rancor will not give in
Hate which once swarmed internally
Envelops me in depravity
And as I forage just to live
This anchored rancor will not give in
This hatred which still exists in me
Now my lifesblood of normalcy
Please invigorate this complacency
Enter new reality
Invocate collapse
This anchored rancor will not give in

Proven Finite
10:29
|

|
These storms, flowing steadily
Their threat denied most times
The currents sometimes intertwine
Elements align
The worst will come in time
Bow echo forms
Cerebellum contorts
Red rain pours
Higher and lower powers cease to exist
For only my selfishness will I pray
To nonexistent entities
For swarming ghosts of true vengeance
To rain down upon thee
With every last grain of self worth
I’ve bribed the boatsman
Your River Styx is nonexistent
With all strength left
I reduce you back to form
|

From this path, there is no recourse
Yearning for survival denies all dregs of remorse
Oh humans, remove all trace, restore the planet’s grace
As my mask in this task I will wear your face
It kills everything without distinction. This deserved mass-extinction.
We are all Gridfailure
A nemesis of your creation
My mortal enemy, stranger or elation
Decorate your village with your remnants
A reminder of who you were, what you meant
With only us to blame, we’re rejected by scathed mother
Forced to feed from and upon one another
She expels the human plague from her womb
Every family room becomes a new tomb
Smoke signals inform our clan to pillage your land
We are all Gridfailure
From how many lives will the blood be sprayed?
How many times must we use the same blade?
In black moon silence we come running
You’ll never see me coming
It kills everything without distinction. This deserved mass-extinction.
We are all Gridfailure

Farmer Suicide
03:00
|
|||
|
As resources were depleted, so were morals
Crop owners no longer could adhere
Ending centuries of tradition; razing their fields
If I cannot, nobody else will ever live here
Then ensued the family’s immolation
The vultures followed the crops to the source
Clans would track the scavengers
Disrupt the flock in their discovery
Enter the human ravagers
Flesh is flesh to us who've starved for weeks
No matter if it's been sampled by their soiled beaks
Owe our lives to these soaring survivors
Awaiting the death of all cultivators

Wish To Disinvent
04:17
|
|||
|
Our consciousness askew, our reality renewed
Payload deployed, we can’t avoid
An outward expanding florescent horizon
A thing we wish to disinvent
Something which we did not prevent
This thermonuclear desolation, which we now reside in
Rampant with civil war, we thrive nevermore
Perpendicular to the living ones
A process which can never be undone
The unthinkable, can now never be forgotten
In a psychedelic haze
You’ll live your final days, ablaze

Beyond Containment
04:16
|

Enemies amidst us
Microscopic. Misanthropic
Writing virus. Human conduit
Natural selection or terrorist infiltration
The source indifferent
Its objective apparent
Infecting. There’s no protecting
Infecting. There’s no protecting
Contaminating every warm-blooded being
Victim by victim, their insides on the outside
Rotting internally, breaking you down
Checkpoints in place all over the town
Outbreaking. Overtaking
Outbreaking. Overtaking
Is this for media hype? A terrorist strike?
Do we sit and wait or evacuate?
When the panic sets in
And the rioting begins
It’s everyone for themselves
Murderous hordes pillage the shelves
Infiltration. Depopulation
Infiltration. Depopulation

Irma
04:32
|
|||
|
Overnight she has magnified
In her path so many have already died
Surging with overwhelming might
A storm surge twice the island’s height
Is Irma killing my family?
Will we get used to these pleas?
We must relearn to fear the seas
These unfathomable tides where everything dies
And we’ll continue to hear these cries
Is Irma killing my family?
