Annihilation By Design

"We knew the world would not be the same...
A few people laughed, a few people cried,
most people were silent.
I remembered the line from
the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita,
'Now I am become Death, The Destroyer of Worlds...'
I suppose we all felt that,
one way or another" - J. Robert Oppenheimer
(Paraphrased)
Annihilation by design
Eradication through war crime
Scorn and hatred fill my eyes
I shout towards an empty sky
Fabricated world of lies
The mind is razed time after time
Deceptive practice at its height
The “Right” is wrong and the “Left” ain't right
Politics of martial might
The hand of doom is within sight
Machinations against design
Resurrection of wartime
In the abyss what do you see
The abyss it sees in me
Perfect chaos, anarchy
Our destruction We will be
The Power brokers I despise
Obdurate masses revulsion rise
Surfeit Fury, servile guise
Refuse/resist it is the time
[Guitar Solo]
Scorn and hatred fill my eyes
I curse the falling empty sky
Devastated world of lies
Humanity is crushed this time
Deceptive practice comes to light
Self imposed terror strike
Politicians final fight
The hand of doom is here tonight
Annihilation by design
Eradication through war crime

"To those nations, who would make themselves
our adversary, we offer not a pledge
but a request, that both sides
begin anew the quest for peace,
before the dark powers of destruction
unleashed by science, engulf all
humanity in planned or accidental
self-destruction." - John F. Kennedy
I'm burning in a field of glass
Tortured memories of the past
My body soaked in radiation
Nothing left but devastation
A molten sea of liquid sand
Solidifies the fall of man
The end complete
A final flash
Transforms the deserts into glass
Now the time has come
They've erased all that's been done
Brighter than the sun
The End
It has begun
[Guitar Solo]
A burning world left in his place
Humanity has left no trace
Mutually Assured Destruction
As the man presses the button
A burning winter engulfs us all
As the ashes begin to fall
Flaming nations
The cities smashed
All the deserts turned to glass
[Guitar Solo]
I'm burning in a field of glass
No more future
No more past
My body soaked in radiation
Nothing left but devastation
A molten sea of liquid sand
Solidifies the fall of man
The End Complete
A final flash
Transforms the deserts into glass
I feel the Gamma Rays
Ripping Through my DNA
Nuclear decay
Extinguishing away
[Guitar Solo]

Coercive Aggression
08:21
|
|||
Ideological dictator
Imposed ignorance
Through coercive aggression
Contradicted recompense
Propagandized nullification
Of pragmatic thought
A prison of the mind
We are over-wrought
I have dreamed a dream
But now that dream is gone from me
The world that I once knew
Just a fading memory
The power-hungry manipulation
The weakness of their minds
Intimidated into submission
They’ve left it all behind
[Guitar Solo]
Ideological dictator
Imposed ignorance
Through coercive aggression
Contradicted recompense
Propagandized nullification
Of pragmatic thought
A prison of the mind
We are over-wrought
Why can’t they see?
The lessons of our history
Why can’t they see?
How this world has come to be
Why can’t they see?
The lessons of our history
Why can’t they see?
How this world has come to be
[Guitar Solo]

Damn-Nation
02:24
|
|||
With the power to crush opposition
No hesitation for break-neck decision
Overcoming the weak willed contention
With the force of controlled demolition
Damn-Nation
All out war, nations in ruin
Persecution mania, madness ensuing
Dominate with force of blows
There's no stop 'till total control
Damn-Nation
[Guitar Solo]

The Mind Afire
04:23
|
|||
Unrelenting, never subsiding
Never will it cease
The Architect of my pain
I’m nothing if my torture’s in vain
.
Fear and loathing with no cause
A damaged soul wrapped in gauze
No injury of which to speak
Just a putrefied reek
.
The Underground
Beckons again
Violent release
Pacification
Regurgitation
Incineration
.
The Meat is tepid
The Mind is afire
Thoughts of release
Thoughts of desire
.
Intentions are good
But the weakness of will
Is the only disgrace
.
Man of sorrows
I will be, No peace...
.
Meaningless trials of dissent
Covered in sores of lament
.
Water to wine
Fermented grapes of wrath
No remorse
Or repent
Fuck everything that it meant
.
The Underground
Beckons again
Violent release
Pacification
Regurgitation
Incineration
.
The Meat is tepid
The Mind is afire
Thoughts of release
Thoughts of desire
.
Intentions are good
But the weakness of will
Is the only disgrace
.

Mutagen, Teratogen,
Carcinogen, Toxic Waste
Venin, Pathogen
Roentgen Equivalent in Man
You Rot
Rot
[Guitar Solo]
Radiation, Contamination
Your death before your eyes
Hideous, Deterioration
You wish that you would die
You Rot
Rot

Darkness Fills My Eyes
05:02
|
|||
Darkness fills my eyes!
.
Some say, they can’t see
I’m lost, redefine my life
Coming day, they will see
The sky was lit that night
.
The cruelty
Apportioned unto me
The Entity
Took sight from me
.
When the time’s out for contemplation
What’s left of our salvation
They said there was nothing out there
Then they arrived amidst the burning air
.
All my days
They were here
Human species will cease to exist
I curse the fall of man
Judgement Day will soon be here
.
The cruelty
Apportioned unto me
The Entity
Took sight from me
.
When the time’s out for contemplation
What’s left of our salvation
They said there was nothing out there
Then they arrived amidst the burning air
.
Time to devise the fight
It’s our only chance at life
This is mankind’s final right
Our final fight
.
[Guitar Solo]

War of All Wars
09:39
|

"We are going to become gods.
Period.
If you don't like it, get off...
You don't have to contribute,
you don't have to participate...
but if you're gonna interfere with me
becoming God, we're gonna
have big trouble." - Richard Griffith "Dick" Seed
I shall not yield to thee
Blind submission’s not the way for me
They may follow a worthless trend
I am far more rigid, I will not bend
Strength of mind my paradise
Not your worthless fucking merchandise
You may have control
Over lives replete with suffering
Look in the mirror you worthless fuck
Bloody hands will not clean
Killing corporation
Taking control
They’ll not have me living
I’ll prevent them from my corpse
[Guitar Solo]
War of all wars
War on Tyranny
War of all wars
Do not walk in the black
Worthless suffering
Only thing that they will bring
Unrelenting punishment
For those who made a shadow government
I will not yield until I die
War of all wars
War on Technocracy
War of all wars
We must end this suffering
