The Invisible War
02:01
|
|
||
|
See how deep you can plunge them
Seal off sunlight to the dungeon
A policy document sleeping on the floor
Social progress for a begging bowl
Do not get sick, poor or old
Masked brutality huddled by the door
Cast a shadow theatre of the invisible war
Transfer wealth, rented hovels
Roll out new ways for them to grovel
Take welfare, erode it to its core
Embed an ideology so sadistic
There are no people just statistics
And custodians of wealth embezzling offshore
Cast a shadow theatre of the invisible war
Tent city on the bleak side of town
Cops wade in, break it down
Wrong time, wrong place, wrong side of the law
When they catch the masses slowly waking
They just point out who does the taking
Those immigrants washed up on the shore
Cast a shadow theatre of the invisible war

Former Self
02:02
|
|

With my gathered achievements and a list of final demands
I stared at nothing but two calloused empty hands
Turning out old pockets to assess my accrued wealth
I found a tattered note, an apology from my former self
An apology from my former self
Former self
Like a beacon from the past flickering in the gloom
It came to question me and all that I presume
Spelt out mistakes I’d make, diagnosed my future health
Would I live to regret this apology from my former self?
An apology from my former self
Former self
This reek of remorse wise beyond its years
An ink that danced across my future hopes and fears
A past that stalked me in a knowing stealth
Now I cast a shadow, a shadow of my former self
An apology from my former self

To Spite My Face
01:51
|
|
||
|
I’ve got my fingers in my ears
And my head in the sand
Spreading like a blight
That darkens every land
Like an overgrown child
That doesn’t understand
Cursing what I touch
With an invisible dead hand
I would cut off my nose to spite my face, spite my face
When we work together
We can all achieve
Our annihilation
Faster than conceived
Zero-sum game
Passing with distinction
Consume the consumer
Post Capital’s extinction
We would cut off our nose to spite our face, spite our face
Q. "What is it about society that disappoints you so much?"
A. "We voted for this. Not with our rigged elections, but with our things, our property, our money. We all know why we do this, because we want to be sedated, because it’s painful not to pretend, because we’re cowards. Fuck society.”
I would cut off my nose to spite my face, spite my face
We would cut off our nose to spite our face, spite our face

Cold Digital World
01:54
|
|

Heart of machine, cold and digital
Everything’s new, nothing is original
Accept all progress as right and good
Because we can, not because we should
So crammed with facts, superficial
Look ‘em in the eye, are they artificial?
Moral authority; deferred, transferred
Wolves in the pen, no panic in the herd
Analogue brain – digital world
Cold digital – cold digital world
Information highway has a toll
Plug-in devices of thought control
Sell us nostalgia, it was built to last
Living in tomorrow by way of the past
We will have this future thrust upon us
And see the androids, bestowed with honours
But beyond the glass, out in the cold
A different class, won't know the code
Analogue brains – digital world
Cold digital – cold digital – cold digital
Cold digital – cold digital – Cold digital world

Apex Predator
02:21
|
|
||
|
The apex predator, seeks out the prey
Subjugates, to keep it at bay
Apex Predator
Develop structures, establish control
The alpha ape, understands his role
Apex Predator
No common sense will reason with this brute
He’s only adept at fetching low hanging fruit
Life of convenience means he gets what he wants
Thinking persuasion is cat calls and taunts
Abuse comes from banter, macho rivalry
We should teach our sons it’s not primacy
When regression obsession turns violation or death
They explain he had such a bright future ahead
Ahead
Regression obsession, violation or death
They explain, his bright future ahead

Kill Chain
01:38
|
|
||
|
For all our self-enchantment
Technological advancement
Our greatest strides come in how much we can kill
Find and fix and fight and finish
Demand expansions to diminish
The death machine needs more grist for the mill
Kill Chain – Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill Chain – Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill Chain – Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill Chain – Kill! Kill! Kill!
They’re piling on the pounds
For their gluttony knows no bounds
As the cattle trucks grind on by at night
A death cult observes a ritual
Slaughter becomes habitual
Convenience out of mind and out of sight
Kill Chain – Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill Chain – Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill Chain – Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill Chain – Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill Chain

Rise Of The Right
02:08
|
|
||
|
Breathing the oxygen of publicity
There are no bounds to their duplicity
Wellspring of hatred from whence they tap
They frame the narrative, they set the trap
Vote against your interests
Rise of the right
They already think you’re stupid
Stop proving them right
While those who should unite bicker and deride
With each witch hunt, does nothing but subdivide
Thirst for small victories never quenched
Their advantage, you’re entrenched
Vote against your interests
Rise of the right
They already think you’re stupid
Stop proving them right
Lay down with denial at night
Wake up to a rise of the right

Look on in horror, flinch in disgust
We can’t help wonder why it’s so fucked
When the inspiration at its inception
Was partly fuelled by our fascination
All we can do is hold ours close
And simply watch moral panics unfold
It’s so disturbing, but we can’t look away
Just hope they find another way
Our fascination with monsters
Sees monsters rule the world
Our fascination with monsters
Means monsters, yeah monsters rule the world
We read the book, we watch the show
Folk devils and bogeymen, we cast our vote
Another spectacle, glued to our screens
There’s monsters under the bed and monsters in our dreams
Our fascination with monsters
Sees monsters rule the world
Our fascination with monsters
Means monsters, yeah monsters rule the world

Skitkids and Herätys came in mind at once as the record kicked off which meant for me that this one is bought. From start to finish this is a very good response if domeone asks how does Hardcore should sound like in 2019.
