Butchers Bakers
03:00
|

Flesh is tasteless, traitors betrayed us
Binary binds us, leaving them markings behind us
Finders keepers, winners losers
Movers makers, Molotov shakers
Butchers hands, now the hands of the bakers
Tinkered tailored, feeling wayward
Distant to everything you think you are
They’ve enslaved us
Sweet baby with the brutal behaviours
Scream for some saviours, decipher them signs
Hidden behind them blinds, blinkers
Thoughts to thinkers
Walking through the pain of them blisters
Brothers, Sisters
Flesh is tasteless, brutal behaviour
Flesh is tasteless, thoughts to thinkers
Flesh is tasteless, they’ve enslaved us

Covet

An injured beast, a belly not full
Ugly faces telling all what’s beautiful
God’s promises, this cursed plague
Risen from the clays, sons daughters of apes
Hunt them pigs wild in them bushes
Strip them naked, let their reaching hands fall
They been leeching for too long
They been leaching for too long
Tales in the darkness, light the fire ignite the mind
Move silent whilst guiding the blind
Can’t bear the idle weight, idle hate
Can’t idle or wait
Heart beating at a furious rate
Furious pace, see the furious chase
Furious food got me thirsting a furious taste
Titles trophies, numbers names
Fire water intensifies them flames
Run for the hills, hands skilled with the scissors
Unrecognised faces I knew now configured
Watch the skin starts to wither
Tables lined with their leathers
The beast has been dining like this forever
Everything they covet, impossible math
The smarts and the street smarts
Smarts you need to take part
Or get your parts taken real fast
They be breaking real hearts, real hard
Cages, steel bars, bricks and mortar, real hard
Bow to the real God
Poison paid for, money slaved for
These dialects you don’t know
But they be speaking to your soul
So when she cries I gather tears
Carry water to the thirsty
Cos I've bleeding like this before

Masterpieces
03:04

Masterpieces, leaving pieces
Diseased master whips them to pieces
Puzzled pieces need quick releases
Pieces puzzle to scramble for pieces
Scrambled pieces fight in their Faeces
Pieces of faeces, fed em in pieces
Wrapped like sweeties, anti-thesis
Won’t know what meat is, pack it in pieces
Them once hated, their time now waited
We waited for them to go through all their faces
Look at them dancing, emotions lie deep
So deep they shall lie, them creatures still creep
Something tainted our love, my heart broken in pieces
Riddled with diseases, feasting on the pieces
Can’t find a piece of mind to piece together the pieces
Peace is in pieces, pieces and pieces
Gathering pieces rebuilding pieces by piece
Pieces of the pie, georgy porgy pudding and pie
The pie into pieces, beauty shattered to pieces
Don’t believe them as they lie, painting their masterpieces

Slanted
02:09
|
|||
Lost it to find it, blame no-one
Red rose on a tombstone for all enchanted
Re announce renounce your name
Power granted
See how they flaunted
I see ghosts, see everything haunted
Thoughts emotions, they burn so quick
Once the fuse lit, easy to amuse it
Feed off them for they will abuse it
Wasted vantage, shadows slanted
Bodies unaccounted
Don’t push me coz I’m close to the edge
Edge of the madness
Sounds of war, there is no warning
Feel the heat warming, it keeps on calling
We keep heeding, so keep on falling

One Friend
03:53
|
|||
Feel it rot, gunshot to your head what
One friend when I need one, enemy I see one
On my blood they feed on, craving lusting that taste
So I feed em
Why can’t we feed em
Power in my hands, I could heal em
So numb to their feeling
Screaming for that meaning
Thieving stealing
Colours change, keep changing,
But the outlines remain
Killing season
I can see them lying through your teeth
You don’t believe in
But in the quiets of the night, always kneeling
For them scars no healing
It’s in the sight of my eyes, all revealing
Language same but I don’t understand them
Speaking them anthems
Boogy men scare the children, stir the tantrum
Free the bird into the sky, light a lantern
In the wars find an inner sanctum
Feel it rot gunshot to your head
Another morning see you falling now you dead
Went and believed everything that you read
Who said the Devil creeps and his blood ain’t red, what
And what you got when you ain’t got a friend coz
Everything you know comes back again, and
Spending your time with them fools who ain’t men
And, can’t you see that they’re all just pretending
And can’t you see that they ain’t supposed to be here
Even the rats here want to leave here
Can’t you see that they’re ain’t supposed to be here
Even the rats here just want to leave here

Carrion

As the snake eats the snake
Eats the snake eats the snake
As the snake eats the snake
Eats the snake eats the snake
As the snake eats the snake
Eat these foods from these hands
So we make no mistakes
In breath my brethren
We keep each other awake
As it quakes
Wipe the tears falling down the cheeks of her face
No more weeping we’ve wept
Through promising and promises unkept
Look at where to where the flocks been led
Forgiving ain’t forgetting
I remember the face
We became the opposite sum of
What we claimed to have become in this place
Naked ape spinning in space
Stripping all the vines of grapes
An arid taste
Look at what they got from what they crush
Only thing I hate is hate
I hate it so much
As the snake eats the snake
Eats the snake eats the snake
As the snake eats the snake
Eats the snake eats the snake
Wasn’t it us that played
Now it’s us that slays
Ignorance weighs them weary
Wearing away
Now scared to pray
Prays scared them away
But them prays never wasted
Hard when your taste buds blemished
And your answers never tasted
That beautiful taste
Don’t let her waste
No need to follow them ways in case
As the snake eats the snake
Eats the snake eats the snake
As the snake eats the snake
Eats the snake eats the snake
In this madness there is no clarity
They eat their children and grind them bones
Then bake them cakes out of their own.

Scars
04:26
|
|||
When you feel the snake bite
Hold tight
Don’t fear the the wolves
Howl at the moonlight
Sea tide see the seashore
We saw what they weep for
Now we don’t need your
Keep your
Fed mine so feed yours
Ill fated sequels
Sequined savages eat yours
Eat your fair share
Teach your
Love we reach
Through what they scheme for
Fiend for
Not what my heart beat for
Don’t cheat your.

Statues
04:11
|
|||
The lonely fight while the spirits wait
Beyond the dreams you know I saw your face
I feel the fever of God when I stand in this place
When I stand in this place
Haunting voices touch and caress a soul
And lead it by the damned
The fatal actions of a man
Keeping me warm but promise me nothing
Just hold my hands
Speak no words and we might just wake
As the wars span and the Earth starts to quake
Rumble and quake
Recognise this movement where a miracle came
Statues stand chiselled the features
Incarnate plans
The puzzle riddled with worms
Behold the rotten jewels I earn
I grasp them with my hands
All the gestures of self
But foolish acts of jesters are smelt
The stench lingers and coats
A burning taste
My fears fool me though
Across the ledge and over the burning floors
We could hear them calls
From faded lords sounding haunting chords
All their babies ready to feast on your remains
With a hunger grinding deep
They thought you was dead
But you arose like a beast to see instead
To once see instead
But you arose like a beast to once see instead
But you arose but you arose
The lonely fight while the spirits wait
Beyond the dreams you know I saw your face

Cakes in the Windows
02:25
|
|||
Filthier than swine kept confined
Filthy unlike pigs their out of their minds
Deep in the belly of a beast
Sleepless sleep blurred in an instant
Diseased infants they're far in the distance
The cakes in the windows eat them slowly
Wretched diet eats me slowly
They're speaking slowly
Any words to take them there
Ain’t any words that can bring them here
Ain’t any words that can bring them here
See it’s hard to see beauty when she drenched in filth
And you won’t find her if she hides in them hills
Flesh eat flesh the skies rained blood
Frogs falling down in plagues down on us
Crumbs on the table blind mice fighting furious
They're delirious

Nothing
02:41
|
|||
Maybe in the end it all meant nothing
But the hunger in these veins
Kept it all meaning something
Nothing something
All things from nothing
You bore the suffering sacrifice to bear your offspring
Spring off the suffering
Bore for the sacrifice to mean something
It means something
Some mean something
Some mean nothing
Can let that one mean nothing
From the ones comes something
Something came to one
When I was close to nothing
Nothing
They’re telling us that we don’t see them anymore
They’re telling us that we can’t see them anymore
Cos we can’t see them anymore
Nothing, nothing
Something ,one thing
Everything one thing
Everything something
Everything nothing
