SIMULATING YOUR OWN DEMISE
Battle clears the psyche
See how long you can last
Yield or embrace the dark
Create bonds so unique
Cannot breath cannot move
We are here to improve
Egos croak all the time
Show respect earn your life
Simulating your own demise
Testing the strength of intention
Simulating your own demise
Great revelations come with pain
In the core of the storm
We will learn who we are
Push yourself help your foe
Lose the hate learn to flow
Existing on the verge
Welcome to the judgement
Everyone's equal here
Bestowed your lineage
Simulating your own demise
Testing the strength of intention
Simulating your own demise
Great revelations come with pain

Satanic Encouragement

SATANIC ENCOURAGEMENT
Somewhere in sin the heart delights
The church has failed, madness prevails
Violent princess, her cuts have healed
Lonely fools suppress thriving lust
Jesus wasn't answering you
All you had left was the devil
There was no god looking out for you
Satan taught you how to survive
Satanic encouragement
The only one there when you wanted to die
Had a cloven hoof in the gleam of his soul
Torn from the brink, the smiles are rare
Miserys feast, demons beware
Lucifers muse provides you love
Secret addict unlocks the cell
Jesus wasn't answering you
All you had left was the devil
There was no god looking out for you
Satan taught you how to survive
Satanic encouragement
The only one there when you wanted to die
Had a cloven hoof in the gleam of his soul

WITNESS TO SAMSARA
Eighteen aeons gone since you
Completed suicide
I've swam through the fear
Survived torture for years
Seen the things you never knew
Been to hell, I didn't see you
Tore the noose from the throats
Pulled them out of the road
Confiscated the blades
Witness to samsara
At midnight I hail you
As dank destiny drowns

Guarded By My Familiars

GUARDED BY MY FAMILIARS
A scorching light burns me as the ants scream
Locked in a room filled with false connections
Irrelevant images distract me from my focus
I oscillate to escape pandemonium
Shut down my mind I need to sleep
Guarded by my familiars
Shut down my mind I need to sleep
Guarded by my familiars
My breath is hard as I watch the clock turn backwards
I am not sure if I'm really here or not
No unity for me and the termite mound
The collective does not feel the intensity
Shut down my mind I need to sleep
Guarded by my familiars
Shut down my mind I need to sleep
Guarded by my familiars

LIGER MASTER
Liger master
In the night
Lurking in the gloom, prowling round the zone
Liger master
In the night
Teeth sink in your arms, claws scratch at your skull
Liger master
In the night
In the night
In the night
In the night
Her tongue scrapes your eyes, before the sunrise
Liger master
In the night
Offerings are made, to keep the beasts at bay
Liger master
In the night
In the night
In the night
In the night
Liger master

Flesh Controlled By Will

FLESH CONTROLLED BY WILL
Trapped within the city of lies
Surviving harrowing twilight
The stranger in the mirror expires
Consumed by an insincere blight
All we are
Is flesh
Controlled
By will
Insanity supplies the zeal
Bloodlust ensures mortality
Desensitised to the unreal
Our blizzard rages silently
All we are
Is flesh
Controlled
By will

NEURO TYPICAL ENERGY FIELD
I'm surrounded by confusion
Neuro typical energy field
Herd mentality depressing me
Neuro typical energy field
Disinformation vague and unclear
Falling deeper into the maelstrom
Neuro typical energy field
Huddling together like shoals of fish
Neuro typical energy field
Fatal malfunction in the hive brain
Neuro typical energy field
Conformity droids subjugate me
Neuro typical energy field
They dread when we can self determine
Overloaded by fake faces
Neuro typical energy field
Neuro typical energy field
Neuro typical energy field
Neuro typical energy field

ROBUST ENDEAVOUR
Collector of scrolls
Coded language unfold
Translator of mortals
Archives of the bold
Robust endeavour to build up morale
Learning fighting to instil good values
Looking for the link
That unites the styles
What defines the art
And how it is learnt
Robust endeavour to build up morale
Learning fighting to instil good values
I have travelled far
To study kata
Insights to the past
Maps of the future
Robust endeavour to build up morale
Learning fighting to instil good values

CHEMICAL RESTRAINT
You will submit to
Chemical restraint
No one can resist
Chemical restraint
De escalation
Is priority
Fierce outbursts cannot be contained
Equilibrium is paramount
You will submit to
Chemical restraint
No one can resist
Chemical restraint
I administer
Chemical restraint
Lying on the floor
Drugged yet still manic
Totally discombobulated
The paperwork says you are happy
You will submit to
Chemical restraint
No one can resist
Chemical restraint

LEITH PUNK FLAT
Starvation is easier when on amphetamines
Violence is inevitable
When you're full of shit
Fucking feeling it
Alright
Living the dream
In a Leith punk flat
Since the eighties and beyond
Living the dream
In a Leith punk flat
Poverty's cooler when in a punk band
Violence is inevitable
When you're full of shit
Fucking feeling it
Alright
Living the dream
In a Leith punk flat
Since the eighties and beyond
Living the dream
In a Leith punk flat

BENEFIT OF STASIS
Do not underestimate the benefit of stasis
Keep the body still
Banish thoughts of toil
Do not underestimate the benefit of stasis
Dwell not on serpents
Remove the mouldy stench
Do not underestimate the benefit of stasis
Block out the senses
Calculate the void

NOT READY FOR SOCIETY
I'm not ready for society
Send me back to jail
Away from the world
This freedom's a sham
You can't keep me safe
I'm not ready for society
Despite your bullshit
The monsters are real
I'll stab you to death
Until I'm secured
