Painless Premeditated Cultural affliction Bullet through the head Blue stain Smeared on the pavement Wish I could regret it Wake and forget it Plunging Water is depression Lines of succession now are broken Sentenced Lifelong regression Cold metal tension Awaiting injection Sweet dreams of violence Never wake me up Lost the will to fight it

Bloodsong 01:34
World is turning World is burning To the rhythm of a bloodsong Sacred learning Unconcerned Another victim of the bloodsong When's the last time that it felt wrong? I don't even feel it I don't feel wrong Palms burning Flesh churning To the rhythm of a bloodsong Psalms of hurting Masses buried Only victims of the bloodsong When's the last time that it felt wrong? I don't even feel it I don't feel wrong Double-blind and crucify me as a martyr for the bloodsong Keep lying Keep crying Another victim of the bloodsong When’s the last time that it felt wrong? Only thing I feel It always feels wrong

Jeans on Friday All I ever work for Guess that’s fucking life for me Lust for death Semi-casual slavery Life of regret Semi-casual slavery Jeans on Friday All we got to live for Pathetic fucking life for us We breed Semi-casual slavery We exist to feed Semi-casual slavery Think I’ve lost the thread Might as well be dead Better them than me Bureaucratic creeps Hammer takes the slave Master’s debt to pay Violence will sustain Retirement delayed

Joyride 01:37
Feel so good it makes me bored Bought a life I can’t afford I hate the summer I hate the noise I want the ride without the joy Wearing black will make the sun burn too bright Burning drugs will make my brain hurt just right Being happy is just a fad Miss my mom and miss my dad I hate the girls I hate the boys I want the freedom without choice Wearing black will make the sun burn too bright Burning drugs will make my brain hurt just right

Lyrics written by Christian Death: I see the end, and I see the end well it was open so I crawled inside And someone up ahead was crying, well someone up ahead was dying Lost in the darkness, lost in today Well you can only lose it to your mind, you got to lose it to your mind Waves and waves of tranquility is hard on your innocence Discarding all that was before, let's crawl inside La virginal souls devour without shame, we lick our lips clean, so clean No one outside knows, no one outside knows what it means To me, to be, set free Well you can only lose it to your mind, you got to lose it to your mind Waves and waves of tranquility is hard on your innocence Discarding all that was before, let's crawl inside

Brain Dead 02:05
Looking ugly now Guess the smokes caught up Feeling ugly now Big mistakes add up First light and it’s bright white Turn it all to red First life and it’s quite nice Guess my brain is dead My head Brain dead

Best be in it for the long run Every soldier’s gotta shoot the gun Better smoke ‘em if you got some Pull the trigger baby have fun Have fun I feel nothing Kill enemy Do what They tell me Flak jacket family Best be in it for the long run Every patriot is a chosen one God’s plan under a burning sun Freedom’s work is never truly done Never done I feel everything Terror and security Do what He tells me Flak jacket family Best be in it for the long run Pray to god but just the only one Go to school and try to have fun Go to work until the game is won Buy the bonds and we maintain the funds Watch the movies and we sell the guns Kill thy neighbor and go on the run Sell the story for the highest sum In America respect the Boss Every worker fodder for the cause Know your place so that you won’t get lost Family Hierarchy Under God

The Cowboy 02:00
The world is a burning metal flower The petals rust and fall like towers A wasteland sold by smiling cowards Empty minds grown ripe with power The Cowboy brings them all to justice A smoking gun to bear the bloodshed I’ll never see the Eiffel Tower My fantasies now taste more sour

Medicine 02:32
Take a bit Take a little hit Crush a bit Feeling it Are you feeling it? Cursed with it I got shit I need to do tomorrow The earth is dead The void is black and hollow Take a bit Take a little hit Crush a bit Feeling it Are you feeling it? Cursed with it Everything’s fine Everything’s alright I feel fine Are you feeling right? I feel fine I’m fine You’re fine I’m fine We’re fine I’m fine I feel fine Take a bit Take a little hit Crush a bit Feeling it Are you feeling it? Cursed with it
