This is Ballista Territory, you son of a bitch
The Cream Of The fucking Crop
If you wanna play God
Then I'll show you the fucking devil
My kingdom come, my will be done, on earth as it is in hell

How many times to I have to try?
How many times have I failed?
To prove I deserve my place in life to myself and everyone else
Suffering is the solace I found
My pain has kept me spellbound
But death won't take me
God can't erase me
And you won't break me down
You won't
Bend or break me
Absolute terror
My ultimate fear
Exposing my weakness
To those I hold dear
Six million ways to die choose one
Swarming inside my head
Cloaked in torment, blinded by death
Kissing the scars I kept
How am I supposed to feel human?
How am I supposed to relate?
When I can't even look you in the eyes
Walls I built obscure your face
The angel of death
Goddess of unhappiness
Can't scratch the phantom itch
Can't run from life the bitch
Do I deserve your love?
Am I even good enough?
Absolute terror
My ultimate fear

View From The Ditch
03:17

I'm always searching for the harmony
Between life and death
Heaven is dark and hell is cold
Born to rot I sold my soul
Sold my soul to my vices
Sold my soul to the dirt
Set aflame by sacrifices
Return my body to the earth
All your dreams in the cradle
To the last call from the crypt
Every night I spend swallowed by venom
Is just another view from the ditch
The only constant is pain
Every grave looks the same
The only constant is pain
The spectre of death bears my name
There is no living without suffering
I felt at home beneath the weight of my chains
The taste of toxin still lives on my breath
Refuse to run from life or death
That with shape will one day break
Choked by the smoke of the witch
Every portrait in the coffin
Is just a view from the ditch

Are you painfully aware of the silence that falls around you?
And the shadows that creep up your walls?
Are you paranoid that ghosts from the past have found you?
Can you hear the whispers in the dark?
Hackles raised frozen in place a chill creeps down your spine
Gossamer covering your face, the worm of dread crawling in your mind
Loss of feeling, body heavy
You stepped in to the realm of fear
I was born covered in crimson, I'll go out the same
The clock strikes the hour of violence
Black blood boils in my veins
I dream in red and blue
My body lacerated and bruised
All the pain I have felt, I'll inflict on you
Dull my senses
Numb my fingers
Distorted lenses
Torture lingers
Forgive not an enemy, waste not time
I'll show no mercy, won't turn my back to your knife
Fear and abandonment by the likes of you
Mental mutilation for a clearer view
The law of the jungle says kill or be killed
So step up to my face and face my rage motherfucker
Sacrifice my soul
Ash to ash and dust to dust
Shed my human skin
Just to quench my bloodlust

Tusk

Cull the herd making me sick to death
Eat the weak
Population of greed feeding on
Their own shit
Just another smoothtalker conned their way
In to power
Two sides of the same dirty coin
Sacrifice
Selfish fuck working for the status quo
Performative actions thinking that we'll never know
Fencewalker praying that you'll never pay the price
It's laissez faire better roll the fucking dice
No more
Promises broken
No more
Lies of solidarity
No more
Morals eroding
No more
Thinly veiled sincerity
Beg for death from the mother you plunder
Thrust upon the sacrificial knife
TUSK
Complacent masses, content in their classes
All I see are blank faces in this nation of stasis
No king
Just another bastard
You promised us change, its time for your pain
Pray to your god while you're down on your knees
TUSK
The sacrificial blade

You fired first now you're in front of the gun
Every vein I have is burning with bad blood
Where is your backbone? Show me where your spine is
Stupid games win stupid prizes
You're just a two bit piece of shit with no pot to piss in
No one fucking cares, no ones listening
Only thorns left on this rose
I try to bite my tongue but my teeth sever the sinew
Fueled by rage and discontent
Memories marred by disappointment
No love left in hate I'm adorned
No petals left only thorns
A beautiful display of violence
I summon death with every breath
Ruthless retribution
Guillotine resolution
Thorns
I killed you in my mind one thousand fucking times
The wolf devours the one that cries
No love
Only thorns
Strangled by the webs you weave
With a bullet in the head you bit the hand that feeds, bitch
The walls have ears and hear every word
You lit the match now fucking burn

With my own hands I will tear heaven from the sky
A war upon the holy
My path of deicide
No judge, no jury, executed for your lies
No salvation
Only your damnation
Enemy of man
Burn to dust
Holy land
Your temple left in ruin
Your throne engulfed in flames
Blood will fall from the sky like acid rain
Nourishing the earth with all your pain
With my own hands I will tear heaven from the sky
A war upon the holy
My path of deicide
No judge
No jury
Executed by my fury
You are not our father
You are not our savior
You are not our father just a voice inside their heads
You are not our savior rot upon your crucifix
Dead children and disease
You could've saved them all with ease
Wars started by those with greed
You never answered any prayer or pleas
Enemy of man
Burn to dust
Holy land

Cleanse this earth
Baptized in shit
Born into a world of perverted entitlement
Raised to believe that its yours if you can take it
I'll hunt you to the end of the world to cleanse your sin
Nobody will ever fucking save you
Cutting through your flesh and your skin
I'll make you choke on the consequences of your actions
Your life is forfeit for the one that you desecrated
She wasn't yours to take
Your need for power makes you weak
I'll take your last fucking breath
No remorse, no regret
Sentenced to death, a price on your head
I'll carve their names in your bones while you still live
I'll take your last breath since I can't take what you did
Your life is forfeit for the one that you desecrated
I know what I must do
Cleanse the world of you
