Fireworks 02:01
Kneel before the nightmare of this broken universe, Revere my sacred form, Ashes of fate whisper tales of your end, At the bloody hands of a devil from the skies, A trembling universe frozen in my reign, Scorn upon the planets slain in my wake, Behold as extinction escalates mortal worth, You'll make lovely fireworks! A civilized world at the tips of my fingers, Polished in famine and death, Prophecies of slaughter illuminated in flames, Majestic genocide, A trembling universe frozen in my reign, Scorn upon the planets slain in my wake, Behold as extinction escalates mortal worth, You'll make lovely fireworks! Haunting these celestial catacombs, Silhouettes of a savior crowned, Praise unto he, the bringer of calamity, Shall we begin? Eradication is my gift to you, Macabre compliments of your lord, Liquidating life in sadistic delight, Your world belongs to me, A trembling universe frozen in my reign, Scorn upon the planets slain in my wake, Behold as extinction escalates mortal worth, You'll make lovely fireworks!

Funny Games 01:02
Good morning to my new-made friends, you may remember us from before, On the lookout for some clean fun, now we're knocking on your front door, The revolting plausibilities gamble times of your demise, Souls fractured in charisma by the purity of ice, A game's no fun when you're alone or it's players ignore the rules, For politeness' sake, participate, you'll be dead by daylight, don't be fools, Funny games, whether by knife or whether by gun, Funny games, losing your life can sometimes be fun, Didn't want to bring you harm, we were just here for some eggs, Inappropriate behavior stumped the functions of your leg, You could have loosened up, played by the rules, you needed not ask why, Now Georgie's sprawled out in the corner with a hole between his eyes... A game's no fun when you're alone or it's players ignore the rules, For politeness' sake, participate, you'll be dead by daylight, don't be fools, Funny games, whether by knife or whether by gun, Funny games, losing your life can sometimes be fun,

Wall To Wall 01:49
Polished filth scrapes at your heels, Lifeless gazes pleading to know what's real, Eyes roll back, souls are flat, existence is the drain, Shades of blue identify infernal gates, They want your blood, they want you fresh, Walk among the dead for less, They want your soul, they'll take you in, Rooted in desires hidden deep within, Stalk consumerist voids coined by demise, Salivate over captivated light, Step bare upon the coals, pain doesn't exist, Inhale fate through the vents, you will not resist, They want your blood, they want you fresh, Roam among the dead for less, They want your soul, they let you in, Rooted in cravings hidden deep within, (Unexpected, item, bagging, area) Welcome here, Welcome home, Supercenter, Exit the circus with a mournful aroma, Identity traded for an eternal coma, Rise, fall, consume, inhale, Sleep... They want your blood, they want you fresh, Roam among the dead for less, They want your soul, they let you in, Rooted in cravings hidden deep within,

The end is near, my present so clear, I'll conquer life and death while sitting here, The TV screen is frying, my monitor shining, Apocalyptic truths foretold by online writing, Doomed Moviethon, Doomed Moviethon, Doomed Moviethon, Doomed Moviethon, The end is near, the present so clear, I'll conquer life and death whileThe sitting here, Cinematic harbingers, the pure and the vile, Authored into an existence compiled, Doomed Moviethon, Doomed Moviethon, Doomed Moviethon, Doomed Moviethon,

A-L-Z! (1-13!) A-L-Z! (1-13!) A-L-Z! (1-13!) A-L-Z! (1-13!) NO! Unify strength to escape the pain, Corrode our path away from all humane, Respiring the virus to transcend, This is how it all ends, go! Pestilences reconstruct the only world man's ever known, Identifying another way, Supremacy endowed among this requiem for creatures dethroned, This planet belongs to the apes, Upon the ruins of history, Extinction shrouded in mystery, Founded on the bones and blood of the flawed, We inherit it all, Walk among the ashes of humanity's end, Evolution conjured at the fall of men, Inhale your future, there's no escape, From the rise of the dawn of the war for the planet of the apes! Pestilences reconstruct the only world man's ever known, Identifying another way, Supremacy endowed among this requiem for creatures dethroned, This planet belongs to the apes, Upon the ruins of history, Extinction shrouded in mystery, Founded on the bones and blood of the flawed, We inherit it all, Walk among the ashes of humanity's end, Evolution conjured at the fall of men, Inhale your future, there's no escape, From the rise of the dawn of the war for the planet of the apes!

Topless figures stand without legs, Wearing the piece at which you pay, Closing hours, the lights turn black, In the window, still staring back, Limbs are ripped off, they bear no skin, Plastic souls hold a blank look within, Tagging the price, you carry on home, After leaving, it watches you go, Walking past what grabs attention, Selling happiness with no expression, Register amounts of what it's worth, Next in line to know it sees you first, Limbs are ripped off, they bear no skin, Plastic souls hold a blank look within, Tagging the price, you carry on home, After leaving, it watches you go,

There's no turning back from here, Damned into this barren world, your lifeless geodesic sphere, Mechanical whispers of day, Conjuring the lost dreams of any other way, Illuminated in fatality, Everything you wanted to be, Condemned by all that you refused to see, Selective vision eradicates the key, To this Spaceship Death, Welcome Spaceship Death, Welcome Spaceship Death, Welcome Spaceship Death, Among these catacombs of time, Dunes of ashes brand the earth a victim of mankind, This is the path we chose, We left it prematurely chiseled on a planetary tombstone, Illuminated in fatality, Everything you wanted to be, Condemned by horrors you refused to see, Selective vision eradicated the key, Enter Spaceship Death, Spaceship Death, Spaceship Death, Spaceship Death,

Spectrums of color run through your veins,  End your life in my master's name,  The pit, the river, over your cries,  Lifeless eyes coated color this time,  You won't inhabit a shallow grave,  The balls, the colors, so beautiful this way,  As I watch you sink right in the pit,  I know where my life spends, this is really it!  Swarms of my brothers crawl down my spine,  They whisper in my ears, "it's time..."  You won't inhabit a shallow grave,  The balls, the colors, so beautiful this way,  As I watch you sink right in the pit,  I know where my life ends, this is really it!  Such a shining glimmer in your eyes,  Such a sight as you're petrified,  Frozen in shock as you're devoured alive, Grinning as you fade in my sadistic sights, I'm the Son of Blattella,  That's what I tried to tell her,  She chose to disobey my needs,  Now on her face, my mother will feed,  Having my way with her crunched, brown shell,  Bury you beneath this colored hell,

Fruit Cellar 00:46
Well, we all go a little mad sometimes, But this time, you've crossed a line, Once the glue that held our world together, Now I'm bric-a-brac, it's asinine, They say that a mother is a boy's best friend, So why do I feel so abandoned in your den? Now I'm rotting in the cellar 'cause you think that I'm fruity, Decaying in the snow 'cause you love me, excuse me? The cord is thinning so screw off, shithead, It's time for you to comprehend that mommy's dead, Not good enough for my own bed, Or even for the attic, Unworthy to maintain my charm, With taxidermy or prosthetics, They say that a mother is a boy's best friend, So why do I feel so abandoned in your den? Fuck! Now I'm rotting in the cellar 'cause you think that I'm fruity, Decaying in the snow 'cause you love me, excuse me? The cord is thinning so screw off, shithead, It's time for you to comprehend that mommy's dead,

They hold my hand and disappear, I consume the milk of their darkest fears, I'm getting kind of hungry and I'm thinking that it's time to float, Awakened following 27 Years, The storm blew the whole circus down here, But we're no longer strangers and baby, it's time to float, Just look into the light, Beyond all bounds of infinity, Gaze upon my eyes, Take my hand and you'll float too, Eternal fun and games for me and you, They hold my hand and disappear, I consume the milk of their darkest fears, I'm getting kind of hungry and I'm thinking that it's time to float, Awakened following 27 Years, The storm blew the whole circus down here, But we're no longer strangers and baby, it's time to float, Don't you want a balloon? Invite all your friends, they'll float too! Step right up, child, you're among friends, I'll covet your redolent terror, It flirts from within, Oh, I can taste your every fear, There's no escape so crawl on in, And we'll all float down here, They hold my hand and disappear, I consume the milk of their darkest fears, I'm getting kind of hungry and I'm thinking that it's time to float, Awakened following 27 Years, The storm blew the whole circus down here, But we're no longer strangers and baby, it's time to float, Don't you want a balloon? Invite all your friends, they'll float too! No, wait, look into the light, Beyond all bounds of infinity, Gaze upon my eyes, Take my hand and you'll float too, Eternal fun and games for me and you, We've got peanuts, cotton candy and popcorn, too! The only thing missing is you! They hold my hand and disappear, I consume the milk of their darkest fears, I'm getting kind of hungry and I'm thinking that it's time to float, Awakened following 27 Years, The storm blew the whole circus down here, But we're no longer strangers and baby, it's time to float, Don't you want a balloon? Invite all your friends, they'll float too!

There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile, Found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile, He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together in a little crooked house, The crooked man stepped forth and rang the crooked bell, And thus his crooked soul spurred into a crooked hell, Murdered his crooked family and laughed a crooked laugh...

Would you kindly endure my life? Would you kindly secure my wife? Would you kindly abide as I say? Would you kindly set the end of days? My actions are your accidents, Follow me now, we'll begin the end, The past washed ashore in all it beholds, The future, undecided, flows as it's told, Would you kindly crash your plane? Would you kindly play my game? Would you kindly follow me? Would you kindly refuse to see? My actions are your accidents, Follow me now, we'll begin the end, The past washed ashore in all it beholds, The future, undecided, flows as it's told, Would you kindly? Would you kindly? Would you kindly inject my Eve? Would you kindly do as I please? Would you kindly step aside? Would you kindly let Rapture die? Would you kindly? Would you kindly? Would you kindly?

Kneel before the rodent where it stands, For entry to enchanted lands, Disobey his terms, you will be found, Condemned to utilidor burial grounds, You can't run without a grin, Aware of the terror hiding within, Mortality traded with the almighty vermin, Your casket sealed with grins by the almighty vermin, Kneel before the almighty vermin, Die for the almighty vermin, Masquerading blindness as your light, Voluntary erasure of the night, This is our realm to do as we please, Our sacred grounds that you won't unsee, Behind the magic, beneath the floors, Manufacture nightmares, swallow the lore, You won't run without a grin, Confident in joy that persuades the end, A conscience traded for the almighty vermin, Beckoned into flames by the almighty vermin, Display the price of your purchased soul, Garnished to magic by whimsical mold, You knew that this was the only way, It was your decision at the end of the day,
