Blades and Arson Instead

Utilitarian in my plan of attack Use whatever is in reach to bring the bloodshed No truce will calm this animosity Opt for blades and arson instead Into my field of vision Appeared the target of this acrimony From the depths awoke the demon Which I've accepted will always be a part of me Balled-up fists and a locked-up jaw The initial signs of another downfall Cannot suppress it, I’m clenched in the grip Embrace it: enter hammerdown protocol In this mission I require no assistance No military persuasion or equipment Just rudimentary combat instincts This violent offense will balance the equation Go on and run The chase just adds to the fun And once I’ve got you there’ no escape from this fate It cannot be undone Utilitarian in my plan of attack Use whatever is in reach to bring the bloodshed No truce will calm this animosity Opt for blades and arson instead Elemental is this animus Vengeance the only word in my vernacular No chance I want this to appear anonymous This rampage shall be fucking spectacular At a time such as this one cannot be particular To the living ones I wish to make you perpendicular Blades sharpened or dulled, I’ll employ them all Whatever can be utilized to detach your appendicular Utilitarian in my plan of attack Use whatever is in reach to bring the bloodshed No truce will calm this animosity Opt for blades and arson instead

about

"While gangs and assassins resort to using blades and arson instead of firearms in Japan and other countries where guns are heavily banned, regulated, or otherwise unavailable, GRIDFAILURE adheres to this methodology out of sheer work ethic. In the US, where guns outweigh the entire population and it's too easy to spinelessly open fire on one's enemy with their back turned, GRIDFAILURE would rather track down, corner, and make eye contact with the adversary while exacting the rightfully earned revenge. Lines are blurred between work and pleasure as vengeance is achieved, as one sector of the lyrics describe: 'At a time such as this one cannot be particular, To the living ones I wish to make you perpendicular, Blades sharpened or dulled, I’ll employ them all, Whatever can be utilized to detach your appendicular.'" - David Brenner / GRIDFAILURE
