5. Harmony Of One
1. Stanford Prison
Steel door enclosure
Blood-speckled walls
Barred confinements
Unleash undying pain
Desperation analysed
Chronology of ruin
Human behaviour stripped
Laid bare the frames of madness
Panic-stricken prospects
And horrible ways to die
Naked cold denial
No way out
Savage cruelty hidden sides of human nature
Brutal display of power, humiliating torture
Psychological warfare led to death
An experiment in terror and sadistic torment
Failing from 1000 open sores
Casualties increasing drastically
Avalanching human devastation
An epitome of disdain
Inbred soul of violence
Dislodged insane collapse
Unhindered by restrictions
Masks of dignity crack
Forced to the extreme
Façades tumble and fall
Pathetic little beings
With weak and fragile minds
2. Beyond The Threshold
Prescribed existential codes
Purified standardization secured
Subconscious behaviour neglect
Apparent effectiveness reached
Prophesized restricted performance
Coerced normalization
Socially patterned plausibility
Extraction of innate multiplicity
Forced subjection of self
Requiring modifications
Premeditated opinions
Phobic of forced submission
The chimera of diversification
Voluntary disclosure of discordance
Constrained imagery
Hallucinating nondescription
Beyond the threshold
Lies the abyss
Moral pressure
Over the edge
3. Age Of Bleeding
Throughout the aeons man adhered to war
Inventing while re-inventing destruction
Firepower increasing as technology provides
Superior killing-potential as nations collide
Smart bombs and slick disease anxious to unleash
An ever-recurring universal bloodfeast
Bludgeoned or vaporised or choking on smells
Flies cleaning bones on the lands where we fell
Massive population on the rise
Breathing space on the decline
This is not the first time we've come to see
Inevitably there's nowhere left to hide
The earth starts to crumble beneath our feet
Critical expansion's turned up the heat
As fire liquefies the skies
The human race screams in defeat
Self-preservation justifies the means
Instinct for survival prevails
Tribes against tribes colliding with brute force
Or crusades defending our gods
The wheels of world-domination struggling through the sands
Dying in the trenches in a far-away land
Battling on barren wastes, ambushed in the cold
Fuelled by revenge for the things that they've done
Just like wild beasts trapped in a cage
Tearing at each other's throats
Increase culminating in acute density
Control denied population reaching its capacity
Driven into frenzy by the stench of decay
Feasting on the blood of the slaughtered
With sardonic lust and wretched pride
We condemn ourselves to Hell
Our bloodlust cult survived
Resistant to time
Violence craved and nurtured
As crazed birth-control
A growing hunger for mass-obliteration
Eternally addicted to the rush of hatred
4. Pandora
Do my eyes deceive me so,
As I'm witnessing the end?
Black prospect emissions
Are blotting out the sky
It seems our luck has changed
Death by misfortune of all quickly erased
A gift of enormous proportions
Creating vast voids of humanoid waste
King of the world of collective insanity
This putrid corpse we forged shat us out as refugees
A nauseating smell of people in decay
Appalled by what we've done we scramble to get away
Can't escape this menace rolling across the land
Incorporating on its way, an inheritance of pain
Searching new vistas of unaffected remains
Our creations have declared the rest of us as game
Accomplishing our task time and time again
Conquering a world of hurt, the destiny of Man
Incorrupting further this endemic disease
Has turned an epidemic and on carcasses it feeds
Awoken from a sweat / This suffering has no end
Imprisoned by this nightmare / Madness close at hand
Enslaved by the Creator/ Misfigured and deformed
A cancerous infestation/ Yet blindly ignored
No lesson from mistakes/ As history repeats
Worsening the odds/ Relieved to admit defeat
An infected host ignoring its condition
Pandora has released its abominations
Tainting the times with hopelessness and hysterical delusion
We've thrown away the key in panic, a fatal evolution
5. Harmony Of One
Like particles of dust we live and breathe
Mingling heterogeneously
Omnipresent through the voids
Circling around for places to settle down
Like a colony of termites we undermine
Leaving little nourishment behind
Profoundly eroding our habitat
A barren waste testament
Like piles of dirt we contaminate
Spreading vigorously
Tainting all where we're piling up
Choking on pollution, riddled full of flies
Harmony of one
Condemned coexistence
Harmony of none
Like a tumour we're ready to burst
Pressure building from inside
A cancer gets more deadly as its spreads
Emaciate its host on excruciating pain
Like a bomb ticking and waiting to explode
Total devastation
The fuse getting shorter igniting with a blast
Destroying without mercy
