Atrocity Layers
02:13

incineration plants
absorbing countless people
ash raining
raped wife forced to
eat her carved up
husband's genital
perverse warfare
every night I relive
all the horrors
of past battles
no peace for me
fury haunted
treaties signed
reconstruction deals made
left alone with PTSD
my life layered
with atrocity visions
kids playing hopscotch
in the driveway
landmine ignites
feet bursting
blood and brain pieces
on the bed sheet
shot through the neck
at the evening prayer
the will to survive
only fuelled by the vision
of getting back my love
but now it turns out
beholding her unsoiled body
I recall a barrel raping
while we are rolling in money,
they are dying in a
hail of bullets
this tacitly accepted business model
is claiming constantly new conflicts,
new targets
so one scene will remain
the recurring charade
both laughable and sad
when leaders declare war
while being
fucked from behind

Contra Reo
03:16
|

|
scorching light floats
her pristine eyes
as they take down
the blind fold
dulled servants
vile orders
outsourcing jurisdiction
to legal vacuums
maintains a clean record
and keeps the critics down
craving
killing
outrage
silence
full of despair she reaches out
begs them to stop
but signs of weakness fuel the urge
to explore what
her bespoke skin will endure
before she breaks
gloating joy
feasting their state of dominance
crawling backwards
torn back by her flawless hair
as the resisting sword is
forced through the skin
the voice of sanity and reason
dies forever
impatiently two dogs anticipate
the bloodbath
mars and mammon
claiming their rightful offering
bloody pieces
split by the means of balance scales
and her soul rises
flees the earth
back to its source
ominously illuminated by the first rays
sent from the dawn of the iron age

Reprisal

take a look at your hands
bloody they are
idle they lie and
you won't stop
your head of state
as he destroys
life after life
for reasons of green
under the guise
of humanity
ignoble soldiers posing
with the humiliated
exposures that display
true human nature
in the name of the weak
stop this sensless war
see all the bodies
raped broken burnt
they torture you with passion
waterboarding
fearful you pray to god
but he is only watching
you are in their hands now
but justice is locked out
justice is locked out!
medieval methods executed
by the "civilized"
open your eyes, see the old
means of truth seeking
prove effective again
when they democratize
with lies
you better hide your
treasures of the soil
pull back the dogs of war
on their choking chains
erase every moral blind spot
never let the war shadows arise
reprisal in the name of the weak
too late for justice
'cause they're already dead
reprisal in the name of the weak

Communication
02:54
|

we all feed the system
constantly with all the facts
they need to know
expose where we are
what we think
and whom we know
blindly we follow
straight into the abattoire
using technologies
we don't fuckin' understand
do they work for us,
or we for them?
forseeing our next steps
and punish us
before the crime is done
unconcerned we trade our basic rights
in for security
therefore threats are made up
of nations
who is the enemy?
there is nothing to fear
but the return of the tyrant
the comeback of dictatorship

sever the wicked hand
as the abhorrent salute
cuts through the air
a fragile delusion
bursts into shards
I keep the one in my eye
for I can see much clearer now
shaken by disgust
love turns into scorn
devoted hearts
betrayed and broken
it's hard to bear
the downfall of an icon
(but) initial indignation drowns
in the flood of media overload
unprincipled
big stages lure
and fame is tempting
so craven keep
supporting ruthlessly
spread this shit at your place
and goose-step through it but
never try to infect us
with your narrow-minded
racial hatred
what is your pride based upon?
arson? genocide? slavery? holocaust?
never deny your befouled inheritance
beware the warning signs
deceivers waiting to set fire
to our society
we won't back down,
or rest until the war is won
against this ulceration
we'll cut it out
by means of truth and reason

Rape For Hire
05:39
|
|||
|
demons cracking the weak
shell of self-control
swarming out
to satisfy forbidden drives
harvesting purity
in human form
sufferers demeaned to breathing toys
made of flesh
dominating a broken will
bound by fear, pain and swoon
drifting through infinite bleakness
seized by gruesome waves of fate
granting scarcely room to breathe
irritating spray obscuring
the view on saving shore lines
toiling not to drown,
but tempted to let go
and return the deadly embrace
of abysmal dark
born into a sink of iniquity
lanquishing beneath society's drain
parental panders selling
their own flesh and blood
devoured and spit out
by the spawn of sadism
crept out from the dark net
caught in the maelstrom
of pedophilia
promising gifts left fallow
withered before first bloom
no satisfying redemption
in prospect to wait for
gather your strength
and get out of this
downward spiral
have trust in yourself and never,
never give up! never give up!
'cause one day you will rise
pervasive indifference calls for mutual care
don't ignore the sorrowful sigh
it might stem from a dark secret
