• 1. Seer (07:18)
   copy

  Bad for me
  Bad for everyone
  The pariah, the working fool
  The seer, the fuck up
  
  I know
  Too much
  So my heart beats
  To hell
  
  Giving all that I have
  To the dreams of empty men
  What once was passion has become chains
  Wrapped round my mind
  Wrapped round my neck
  Wrapped around my chest
  And raping my soul
  To contain, how to contain?
  I struggle to contain
  This violence growing within me
  
  A black beast that I struggle to contain
  I writhe and it undulates within me
  The black beast I struggle to hold
  I pray that it will annihilate my fears
  And enemies as they become
• 2. Devotion (11:46)
   copy

  I pick up the steel
  It does not matter who I was before I did
  Born blue, wandering into a back alley
  Covered in black, shitty blood
  
  Bars on windows and doors
  The ever subtle tracing of her fingertips on my motherwound
  Hiding from the inside of a trash can
  I am burning inside of her cigarette
  
  I am going to ruin my life for this fucking love
  Melodies of relaxing next to a gun
  The police state outside softens to the curves of her body
• 3. Transactional (13:53)
   copy

  I see
  Your
  Smile
  In the dark
  It spreads
  As I run
  To overcome you
  
  Now the black dog
  Has come to collect
  Panic in my chest
  The pain in my bones
  Disease in my blood
  And the fear in the air
  
  I feel it panting and growling
  Wet, ever-present, gnawing at my heart
  My soul, and who I am
  And who I am trying to be
  A better man is not fueled by things like vengeance and revenge
  
  The old ways stay buried deep within, in the grave
  I want to feel the spray of blood
  I do not want your camaraderie, companionship
  Associations, advice, or words
  
  I do not want your empty promises or stories of your greatness
  I do not desire acceptance
  I want the laments and wails of the clowns that follow your every move
  I choose to remain alienated and free
  
  You cannot take what I do not have
  I choose to walk away from the gnashing, wanton mouths
  Who will bite anything to feed
  The clown at the other end pulling the strings of a rusted king's crown
• 4. Iron Sights (instrumental) (01:52)
   copy

  instrumental
• 5. Natural Law (14:01)
   copy

  With the holiest gasoline in the sea
  I will burn their ships down
  A prayer of hatred, a spell of revenge
  
  I tried to meet their demands-an impossible task
  To please a human pig, a bleeding sow, an old bird
  
  Natural law
  Fuck the law
  Natural law
  Fuck the law
  Natural law
  Fuck the law
  Natural law
  Fuck the law
  
  All of these enemies
  And not one willing to cross the line
  But the will of what keeps me from doing it?
  Many men stand against me
  Cowards stand up in line
  
  I'll hold inside the need
  The means to pray to God for their death
  My real fear lies within my willingness
  To die in the shadow of my hatred of you
  Under the rising sun
  I should have never revealed myself to you
  
  As sick as I am and as weak as you are
  I am willing to die for this
  We are going to die for my lack of hope
• 6. Social Contract (10:26)
   copy

  Living the blues inside the body of a dead god fucking the void
  Earth inseminated by our rape
  Gift of stillbirth
  With 450 million fucking guns, things do not have to be this way
  Blood dripping from my mouth, polluted with history, fear & shame
  A fear joke
  With 450 million motherfucking guns, things do not have to be this way
  Now it's us or it's fucking them
  End of dreams
  Fog of war
  Now new horrors until peace rises from the tomb
  With 450 million motherfucking guns, things do not have to be this way
• 7. Water (09:04)
   copy

  Grown old enough to forgive
  Oh the man of trash and waste, "How will I breathe?"
  As a child I asked you, "Is this filth home?"
  Your home was a piss prison
  And a haven for the trash of the world
  
  The hate in my heart is not the all of me;
  It was forced upon my heart forever
  The most bitter end to a story
  Pitch fucking black, that runs into these veins
  
  Take the hell hurt out of my heart
  Burn the hell hurt out of my mind
  Devil man, "Father", please do not let me find you in the wild
  One of us will die
