Son of a soldier, operator one Cleansing of the scum has just begun The means don't matter, its all about the ends The company defends, pre-emptive revenge Death at every step, no reason to care Arison is the world of the living nightmare Euthanization, the gift of devastation A ruthless campaign on a toxic population This is the city of the silent sun The third revelation from the barrel of a gun Lethal from a distance, we crush all resistance Mechanized mercenary, terminal existence The second coming has arrived, united we stand Prey for those that don't heed the command No discrimination, everythings a target Annihilate it all to get promoted to sergeant Walk through the field, the swift gun of justice Die for the false god mentally adjusted Bow to the crimson cross on my right shoulder The power, the glory and to all of God's soldiers Welcome to the golden age, 2029 Babylon commands, flawless design Agent #9 and I'm ready for war With an AK, some rockets and a cake of C4 Intelligence reports a threat to our theology A weapon of mass destruction that's infected our technology Under heavy fire from the enemy faction Our only hope is an emergency action Situation hot, position compromised System control re-enforce the front line Combat ready, weapons operational Re-route the power so I can get a visual All I saw was her ghostly face The sinister stare of her ghostly face A mechanical clone steps beside her Target acquired...open fire

"Paralyzed, electric hive Tubes and plugs keep you alive" Signal, down, cut and lost Brain unchained from stimulated thought The screen comes back with a pale glow An endless void begins to grow Consuming static, constricted breath The world turns black with the chill of death Deafining silence, lost and alone Cut from the power of the combat drone Twicthing and screaming, where is the fix? Chemically starved, covered in piss Legs won't move, bound to a chair Eyes pried open locked in a stare Dead to my world, the organization Wired to the State, living automation Hunter from the sky, remote controlled Seen a lot of faces, never met a soul Blind to the filthy rotten cell Hooked on plastic sight and smell Without the dose everything is cold Nothing but the stench of sewage and mould Fantasies of the flood my only love Floating in the static, nothing above Cubicle warrior battlespace drug No risk, no fear just a thirst for blood Sirens scream, cut from the dream Terrible shrieks what do they mean? "Don't try to run, your judgement awaits The grid is locked there's no escape" Dead to my world, the organization Wired to the State, living automation Hunter from the sky, remote controlled Seen a lot of faces, never met a soul

"Kick down the door, load 'em in the train" Clubbed in my face, drugs in my veins Knees to water picked up off the ground Dragged to the purge going down all around "Check one two, the building is clear Demolition crew do your worst in here" Lined up, outside of the entrance Shrieks above from the bomber engines

Streets of hunger, darkness awake Welcome to the city of skeleton apes Shrapnel stars, chaos reigns Breathing in lead universally deranged Trapped in the battlefield no where to run With the sound of screams and the echo of guns Brink of destruction, filth beyond description Death a routine, misery the tradition Standing at the gate, the twins are alive Silhouted terror, the demon inside Monolithic smoke from the mountain of the rotten Burning in the sky, the ash of the forgotten Shackled, led to the end of the line Black is the water in the kingdom of slime Now witness the horror throughout the planet Gigadeath flows from the modern commandments Pity the condemned diseased descendants Mandatory waste, indebted independence Living in the city where the sun is always silenced Cameras all around, survivals found through violence We take what we're given, and do as we're told Mass suicide for invisible gold Boarded in a cattle car, "flies in a jar Packed so thick we don't need any bars" CHildren cry, elders stare Shivering inside everybody is scared Look up above the heads of the frail The ceiling scarred by fingernails Bound by the crowd can't stand or lie "Amplified screams before you die" Cruel, numb, remorseless, frantic Discord and vengeance blindly commanded Living in the city where the sun is always silenced Cameras all around, survivals found through violence Desolate grief, the subhuman fate In the endless abyss, mega-slum cityscape

Camp Justice 03:36
Drowning in a flood kept alive by the mask On a slab of salt and broken glass Whipped by electrified chains Stabbed in the feet by searing flames "This is the clinic, pain is the cure No one leaves 'til thought is pure" Vicious assault, hour after hour Crushed at the whim of absolute power Sittin on a narrow bench tryin to keep still With an aching in my belly that I need to fill Walls turn red, the screaming begins Guards rush in with their black truncheons "Its hard to deny the freedom that you feel The confessions a formality the sufferings real Time to move to a new location Begin the next phase of your rehabilitation" Keep your liberty alive 2 + 2 = 5 There is no law, the Party is truth You talk about reality, where is the proof? You never existed we destroy and we change All the vermin are exactly the same Surrender will come from your own free will When the mind is clean you will beg to be killed Locked down staring up at static Plugs in my body, terror automatic "I am the Party you will think like me Look at the screen, what do you see?" A neverending forest, beautiful trees Its gotta be fall by the color of the leaves Legs blown to pieces, spine rips in half "Not even close" he says with a laugh The suffering ends as quickly as it came Summoned through the chips in my body and my brain Next up, a child beaten to death Intoxicating pleasure when breath has left Life, and a thousand needles strike Genocidal slaughter, my body feels light Back and forth and its plain to see That pain is god when good is agony "You're learning very fast but there's more to be done The final step to sanity, room 101" Keep your liberty alive 2 + 2 = 5 There is no law, the Party is truth You talk about reality, where is the proof? You never existed we destroy and we change All the vermin are exactly the same Surrender will come from your own free will When the mind is clean you will beg to be killed "Stand up" crippled and weak "Enter the room" chattering teeth Tomb of mirrors, brighly lit "Close the door and climb inside of it" Face to face I concentrate On the broken mess, beaten, disgraced Now I'm falling back down into the earth Sealed with dirt every breath is a curse Heart beat slows, pulse flat Withering alone lying on my back All that's left is the tick of the clock When the air runs dry it'll finally stop "I always arrive when all is lost" The Windigo Ghost with the body of frost "If you wish to survive, begin the feast Eat all the pain that feeds the beast" Revitalized, by cries and flat lines They brought me to this place so with them I rise Outta the ground I am re-born Walking abyss, bringer of the storm

Rubble flies, dying eyes Crumbling debris destruction synchronized Born from a cage in the circle of fire No one will be saved from the pyre Bitter winds, toxic fumes The infinite bloodbath is what I consume Engulfed in the barrel of the killing machine Harvester of suffering, economy of screams Pop pop pop of uranium shells Absorb in my flesh, power swells Lightning flows from outta my veins To the bot up the web right back to the brain Crumbling puppets, cut from the string Do not know the vengeance I bring Fear in the visor, the Patriot stares At the spectre in black with one red glare Once there was a time when a soldier was a hero Now I'm on the battlefield all I see is one's and zero's Systematic phobia, vacuum of death Sorcerer of hatred, product of the mess Once there was a time when a soldier was a hero Now I'm on the battlefield all I see is one's and zero's The only way to end the pain Bury it all in a bed of flames I think about the world that brought me to this place Weary eyed souls flow in my wake Up from the shadows, rags to their name Fist in the air follower of the flames Nothing to believe but the vengeance they seek No one to lead so they're looking at me Thousands now the crowd has grown The legacy of ashes is my throne I think about the world that brought me to this place Instinct of extinction I am the face Take what I need from the energy they feed Negativity demanded manifested in me Breathe a sigh, blow through the sky Bodies shrivel up like leaves they fly White light, black rain Too far gone in the conflict chain Once there was a time when a soldier was a hero Now I'm on the battlefield all I see is one's and zero's Systematic phobia, vacuum of death Sorcerer of hatred, product of the mess Once there was a time when a soldier was a hero Now I'm on the battlefield all I see is one's and zero's This is the day of my terrible reign Prepare for the flood from the sea to the plains

Riding, on the toxic sea To the island of infinite luxury Thousands of miles off of the shore To escape from the putrid stench of the war Concrete fortress dome on the top Circulating air, synthetic crop All of the gold and riches on the land Consolidated up from the monetary scam I arrive at the palace gates Worldwide retribution awaits Evaporate, to a cloud of grime Float through the vents to begin the decline Of the sleeping tyrants tucked away From the horror they create every hour of the day Eyes shut tight, false sense of protection Unbreakable locks, unlimited weapons Crush the malevolent one The day of reckoning has begun Marble halls, hollow treasure Crimson lit, artificial weather Standing in a circle, hooded and robed The Power Elite bow to His throne They heed the call for sacrifice Blood at the altar for the priviledged life Constant slaughter, throughout the earth To Appease their master's infinite thirst Darken the lights lock down the canvass Infect their minds with blinding madness Crippling fear, furious hearts Watch the Elite tear themselves apart Trapped in the mausoleum glittering grave Pitiless massacre of the depraved They bought the right to be the last ones down Alliances collapse as they dash for the crown "MY bidding is done" voice no form Survivor of the self-inflicted fire storm "I am the commander, universal speaker Right behind the idol, the Supreme Leader" "Lord of the World, Patron of Nations Omnipresent Master, Beast of Devastation Flawless, efficient, never asleep Eye of the world everything within reach" I look at the machine and it couldn't be clearer The face of the system is a big mirror Now I know how to help Immolate myself and everyone else

Quicksand 02:34
Sinking, in boiling mud "No rest for avengers covered in blood" Did I start the cycle, or was I just smothered? "Revenge and pain can't exist without each other" "Spiral down, Ghost of Vendetta Infinite punishment, suffering forever" Marching down, circle of links The more you fight, the deeper you sink Caught in the quicksand of revenge Condemned to descend over again Deity of Destruction Possessing the repressed, oppression's eruption Memory begins with every single weapon Every day I'm born again but they never learn the lesson Cursed creator, the opposite of life The other side of progress, shadow of the light Attempting to cleanse the pain of my race Just added to the cycle that brought me to this place Heed my plea so you can end it Beware of becoming The Spirit of Vengeance

about

An apocalypse funk/heavy hip-hop nightmare about the future. The year is 2029, when all of civilization's wealth has been usurped into an organization known as Babylon. The leaders of this Private Military Company have declared war upon humanity, in order to keep the planet's diminished resources all to themselves. Their soldiers are weaponized robots remote controlled by brainwashed and drugged slaves. This is the story of one of their virtual soldiers...
