Blood & Oil 01:40
We’re out of time to turn it around. We can’t escape the devastation. Can’t release the grip that it has on this nation. Children beaten from fathers who murder for a paycheck. One nation under war. The blood mixes with oil. The sins can’t be covered up. The atrocities can’t be forgotten. Hatred placed front towards enemy. Minds turned rotten. One nation under war. The blood mixes with oil. History repeats itself. In the face of destruction and slaughter nothing is learned.

Constructing my hatred for everything they do. The bombs continue dropping. Bodies shocked, confused. What will stop the suffering? Their hatred marches on. What will end the bloodshed? The gas chokes out their lungs. This war has taken many. It’s left the bodies cold. Kids dreaming of freedom. Bombs tear apart their homes. Women and children are fleeing for their lives. The men asked to stay and fight. Those that can’t get out pay with their lives. There’s no sanity in war, only fear that crushes bone. When will the blood spilt, be enough? We’ve got to fight to take back our lives. We’ve got to rise to bring their demise. Living their lives like they’re above us. Orchestrating death from machines. All this bloodshed, the end doesn’t justify the means. When will the blood spilt, be enough? We’ve got to fight to take back our lives. We’ve got to rise to bring their demise. All the death that surrounds us. Just for men’s selfish desires. All the death that surrounds us. Just to feed their greed. Feed their greed. Feed their greed. Just to feed their greed. Feed their greed. Just to feed their greed. Feed their greed. Feed their greed. Just to feed their greed.

What is left of this life before my eyes? Death, hatred, destruction, people I despise. Couldn't dream of a better way to go. Then watching the earth fucking implode. Every day I look at this place. Pain, agony, suffering, disgrace. Dreams are illusions, life is a nightmare. From which I can't escape. Believe in nothing, this world is gone. No hope for humanity. They've prayed a thousand times but only sin remains. Living out my hatred, day after day. Wishing that all life would fade. This life is a fallacy, only sin remains. It's time to wipe the fucking slate. My eyes have bled a thousand times for all the days spent suffering. The agony that I’ve felt has left me empty. My mind, an inescapable cage. The wounds that I've been dealt from fists raised. Torment comes from what you've done to me. At the blink of an eye. All life is ending.

Drown humanity in hellfire. Bathe in the ashes of the dying world. Succumb to darkness in the mushroom cloud. Breathe in the soot of the dead. Suck the world of its resources. Condemn humanity to apocalypse culture. Dying alone in your own corner of the world. Cowering shadows burned in the wall. Consume, annihilate, repeat. Sucked into the vacuum of death. The air escapes your lungs. Never to return as you die alone in your own arms. Wretched, wretched humanity. Succumbing to a ball of fire. Raining down misery. As you curse the gods above. To lust for the death of this whole world. Ashes raining as your life withers away. On a course towards self-destruction. No one to save you as all life fades. Let our bodies begin to decay for we never deserved this place. Blinded by hate and rage. This world has been disgraced. River of blood never stops flowing. Pain and suffering ever growing.
5.
Get off your knees, don't shut your eyes. They stand above us, watch us fall. They lit the match, burned our world. Played with our lives, killed our hopes. The dream is dead. Just another day in terror. The dream is dead. Kick around the ashes. Reality, they control the image. Make you embrace what they have sold. They contort their message. Telling lies to consume your mind. Get off your knees, don't shut your eyes. They stand above us, watch us fall. They lit the match, burned our world. Played with our lives, killed our hopes. The dream is dead. No fear left. The dream is dead. Kick around the ashes. Our time is running out. There's not much left. The hour is fleeing. Don't be late.
