By the light of the demon we are commanded to serve
To advance global downfall in the guise of solution
We are told to keep the peace. The realm is embroiled
Those who fight for freedom are construed as the enemy
Tearing limb from bloody limb
Killing in the streets
The population is at war
With itself
Product of words of hate, rhetoric
Spewing forth from magnates, self-seeking
A new era of civil strife has now begun
Increasing contradictions fueling the flames
Poverty in a land of plenty, nothing but excuses
Racism, state impunity as the planet fries
Capital is the cause
Reign of the deity to destroy life now
Into flames, into flames with dissenters
Misguided, they cannot see the light
Our equity a crowning achievement
According to lies
Product of words of hate, rhetoric
Spewing forth from magnates, the bloodshed
Time of rebellion in all of god's nations against capital
Unified in struggle, humanity puts forth the supreme demand
Liberty for all except cruel elites
Demon in disguise, purveyor of prosperity or so it decrees
More now know that this is the faceless god of exploitation
We must continue to struggle for what's important now
Slicing forth
Hang the bourgeoisie
Rip their flesh

Imperial Spawn

Insane monstrous full of evil
The empire burns within
Hatred pure lust miscalculation
Ensuring this great ark will sink
Path of destruction set in the past
Swelling power from a mode of production
Bested the influence of kingdoms
Lords and peasants bow before a new class
Try as they might there is no way out without sacrifice
A superior system to the old order
On the basis of wealth creation minimal regard for life
Fostering unsustainable consumption
Ever-hungry beasts lead the world into war
Fabricating pretexts for preemptive military strikes
Devastating nations with excessive force
For the purpose of resource extraction
The people's self-determination denied by the victors
Claiming to represent them with bourgeois ideals
They live self-assured in defiance of social progress for profit
Personified as a sadomasochist, capital leads empire
Irresponsibly taking life-risks
Cannibalizing itself in absence of fresh frontiers
The march for new lands goes on

Genesis of tranquility
There is undisturbed equilibrium
Nothing exists unless it's seen by me
Detected by my solicitous eyes
Or are they illusions?
Through self-generated perception
They are conceived by my neurotic mind
Born into the bed of my visual cortex
Already fully grown and matured
Each travel swiftly as electrical signals
...to my retinas
The abnormal phenomenon
Stimulates the tissues, arouses my nerves
Compelling me to focus my vision
Somewhere a nonexistent thing is visible
How can this be? Insanity?
I know what upsets me
Entities that beg to defy
My perfect way of creation
Giving birth to bliss
Is this real? Are they all here? I must confront my condition
In my righteousness, false or not,
What's before thee must be perfect
Or it should not be here in this reality
This is my domain to scrutinize down to every quark
I do not exist to compromise

Genocide

I am the spirit of evil
I am the spirit of death
I'm incarnate through your people
Corrupting their sanity
Reason slips away
Unity starts to decay
Selfishness abounds in a time of crisis
Man's soul has been weakened
They beg for food
They must starve
Children cry
Barons hoard
Disparity
Class warfare
Tragedy
Genocide ignored
Mass suffering pleases me
The master of this world
Keeping you all in line
Love the regime of hate
Dropping bombs where they'll be sure to kill innocents
Rebels fight to the death with the dark empire
Final battle to secure domination or survival
Lacking allies they face extermination
Discord, ignorance, overwhelming power
The tools to make nations fall
Missiles streak across the sky
Expression of human barbarity
Emaciated corpses line the streets
Images broadcasted in conceit
Look at what we have accomplished
An entire society demolished
Pound them in, into the ground
Pound them in, into history

Xenophobia

World of many peoples
Confusion from culture
Resulting from absence of reason
Primal fear is heightened
In wake of misunderstanding
Society is in crisis
Bleeding soul of man
Splintered by ideas
Conceived of emotion
Destined for disaster
Some attempt to make peace
With the curious foreign beings
Claiming they are the same
The calls for tranquility
Are promptly rejected
Formal exclusion begins
The elders have decided it's time for war upon the other
Ambushed in an attack from the hilltops
Savagery rains down on the newcomers
Unleashed by brutal adversaries
Slaughtering men, women and children
Indiscriminate racial violence
What started as a desire for preservation
Morphed into hateful extermination

Last Gasp of Empire
04:07
|
|

Enemies conspire
Dark lords congregate
Devising their plan
To destroy the human race
Turning man upon man
Exploiting animosities
Sowing seeds of hatred
Scars give way
Blaming other cultures for the misdeeds of the empire
Existence of terror, racial division expedient
Biases of all kinds fester with social decay
World domination in directing anger
Rising hysteria
Accompanies the pain
Of a conflicted world
Ready to explode
Finally the war has begun
Declared an act of cleansation
Tactic to distract from oppression
Resistance must win the day
The odds are stiff against the ragtag forces
Of the people's revolution
Fate is decided in struggle
The toiling working class will prevail...
Against the hordes
Imperial might
Crumbles before
Soldiers of light
The last gasp of empire
As proletarian might conquers
History reaches conclusion
By the slaughter of class warfare

I'm kicking my own ass for somehow missing this when it released. Expertly arranged death metal with kick drums that could demolish a high-rise.
