Ingested - Follow The Deceiver

Memories, shackles round my feet.
I swore I wouldn’t feel it, push it down till I forget.
These crippling memories, manifest in death.
Cut my husk down to the ground, so I may draw another breath.

When, will be enough? I can’t believe I felt again.
I’ll never trust, another broken bird to mend.
You’re just a walking contradiction, you need to be the victim.
What you did goes unforgiven, cry and convince them it’s all your condition.
Just a fucked up, stuck up cunt, the pain you caused has no remission.

I have gained a new perspective,
We’re all plugged in and we’re defective.
Nothing more than neurotic machines, full of emptiness and sertraline.
Can’t live a life that’s not perfected,
Distort the truth till you’re accepted.
Nothing more than neurotic machines, discontent unless we’re living our dreams.

What is your nightmare?
Insignificance, your fallacy in vain.
Just as worthless as before, yet arrogance remains.

Quick it’s getting tough, you better find another vein.
The sweetest rush, anything to make you less mundane.
Afflicted are dying again and again,
But you want the glory, and none of the shame.

Just a fucked up, stuck up cunt, the pain you caused has no remission.

I have gained a new perspective,
We’re all plugged in and we’re defective.
Nothing more than neurotic machines, full of emptiness and sertraline.

Memories,
These fucking memories.

So sincerely as your mind becomes mine
Three inch incision, purge all uniqueness
We'll give you meaning, respect and position
While we gorge upon your weakness

Welcome to our slice of heaven
Leave your life by the door
Sing with us and do not question
You are now one with the four
Convert from six to seven
No ones worthless, none are whores
Leave behind all past possession
You are now one with the four

Ritual
Come join this decadent orgy
Trade in all the pain for pleasure
Now it's time for you to write your story
Sit in an office and waste away
And the baggage piles up beyond your weight
So close to death what a tragedy
Friends and family won't cure your melancholy

I will

You can kill a prophet but you can not kill a god
Bury us in coffins but we've reached the level above Открыть страницу с текстом

Angels and demons you look the fucking same,
The sinners stab you in the front, they’re proud that they’re to blame.
You’ve tarred yourself with feathers? Absolved of all your shame?
Cowardice and avarice, running through your veins.

We are the pack, the four adorned in sheep.
Never let the wool obscure our vision, we will never sleep.
Friend or foe we smell your fear, you stink, you reek.
You’re just another step towards the paradise we seek.

False pretences, offensive, to think that we’re defenceless,
Apprehensive, we’re ruthless, relentless and protective.
We give an inch you take an inch, obey us or be lynched,
Or beaten till you fucking clinch.

No one else, no one new.
When none are worthy, all are dead seraphic forms.
Try your best, but we are few,
It’s time for you to pay us what we’re due.

You’re just another step towards the paradise we seek.

Unbreakable.
Dragged through the glass we’re invincible.
Stronger than ever, unbreakable.
Together we’re flawless, it’s no surprise that you fucking adore us.

Not the first man, just a next man.
We’ve tasted sour grapes there’s no more fucking bread to break.
Not the last man, just a wasteman.
Painting false effigies but one less fucking mouth to feed.
12 years thrown down the fucking shitter,
We put our everything into another quitter.

Challenge accepted, demented.
Too late to come to senses no incentive,
When overall we find you unimpressive.
You took and took and never gave, we put you in your grave.
You’ve gotten mighty fucking brave.

No one else, no one new.
When none are worthy, all are dead seraphic forms.
Try your best, but we are few,
It’s time for you to pay us what we’re due.

Dragged through the glass we’re invincible.
Stronger than ever, unbreakable.
Together we’re flawless, it’s no surprise that you fucking adore us.

We never ate our own,
Or bit the hand that fed.
Leave these towers of ivory?
I’d rather I be fucking dead.

No one else.
No one new.
When none are worthy,
All are dead seraphic forms. Открыть страницу с текстом

It's like I’m drowning, gasping for air
Every time I take a breath, it all stinks of shit, fucking sickening
Sycophants and suck ups
Frauds and fuck ups what a time to be alive

I'm fucking sick of it, the fucking hypocrites
So self-obsessed you won't confess but now that’s beyond doubt
I've had enough of it, you're fucking counterfeit
So self absorbed across the board and now I'm calling you out

My words are mine and mine alone to this I can attest
From in the hole you can't control what you do not possess

If sticks and stones break backbones then I guess you're spineless
You are not ready for this world
Non-believers kill your teachers, follow the Deciever

Soulless cancer
The face you wear is not your own
Constrained by anger
Quit your shit I'll watch you die alone

Alone
The face you wear is not your own
Alone
Quit your shit I'll watch you die Открыть страницу с текстом

The invisible enemy, I cannot stop it feeding on my energy
Shapeless stalker, sensory slaughter
Is it behind me? Is our distance getting shorter?
The resonating choir, blames me for my desire
Protection I require, bridges torched lost in the fire
Is it exactly how they say? It's best to take the easy way
Fight through the agonizing pain, or this is absolution? Pray

My heart is pounding, I know that I'm dead
Wishing that someone speaks conviction that it's all in my head
Every cell in my body belongs to the beast
Please release me undefeated are you holding the key?

Is hope just a symptom of delusion?
Does my story even have a conclusion?

I accept nothing from their betrayal
Forsaken in desolation
Denied by false portrayal, fatal emancipation
Exile a friend and devalue their word
It must be so exciting to live the absurd
Was I naive to feel close to the herd?
Kept closer as the target?
Hunted like a witch, to be burned

The unchangeable effigy
The palpitating past, perusing picks apart positive paths
Weight of the world versus the weight of the sand
Do I bury my head or do I die by my hand? Открыть страницу с текстом

Born on life support, I can see my glory shining in the distance.
They finally rest, all my bravest and best, when I drag my immaculate flesh to the summit.

What more can be done? Laid waste to my every rival.
Oh so tough when you huff the stench of survival.
When will all this end? Just admit I am your idol.
Will I cease this? 30 pieces? Upon my revival?

No fucking way,
Cut out our tongues and we still won't obey.
Ask the betrayed,
If your life's in my hand I can clench it away.
All will pay.
Course you know that routine, reputation demeaned, bought yourself some esteem.
Gold and green.
A plebeian smokescreen, as you prance and you preen, nothing's stopping this oil-less machine.

Should I just fade into legend before I'm revered?
I guess that's what they want when your name invokes fear.

Lynch made coffin birth, I was spat into the dirt.
Everything I've earned, was exactly what it's worth.
My actions concur with the deafening words,
Expected to swallow the bullshit you serve.

What more can be done? Laid waste to my every rival.
Oh so tough when you huff the stench of survival.
When will all this end? Just admit I am your idol.
Will I cease this? 30 pieces? Upon my revival?

Impending.
Dominance.
Infamous.
Prominence.

As I walk on the friends and the foes I have slain, I finally ascend to my throne.
Middle digit on the hand of God, the final letter in Man's tombstone.

Cut out our tongues and we still won't obey.
This world's in my hand I can clench it away. Открыть страницу с текстом

Burn the children
Save yourselves and kill our future
Destroy freedom
Slice our tongues and leave us neutered
Raped and beaten
Murdering our generation
Purified by immolation

Forgive me father I would say yet here I stand remorseless
No one will stand before us now
The despair, and sorrow, there will be no tomorrow
No one can stand before us now

I will pay the price of nothingness
No second chance and no half measures
I thrive in torment nonetheless
When the past consumes the present there will be no future

It's not fighting for me, it's defending yourself
Now stand up and be counted or sit on the shelf
If you want to believe then get ready to learn
The die is cast, the bridges burned
Remove reality, I live inside a vacuum
I never wanted to be myself, what's the fucking value?

Oh, the cost to fill the emptiness
The crushing weight of all the pressure
I thrive in torment nonetheless
When the past consumes the present there will be no fucking future

Fuck your gods and fuck your kings
Fuck your bastard martyrs
We're the ones who suffer first in the dirt
We're the ones in the trenches

I will pay the price of nothingness
No second chance and no half measures
I thrive in torment nonetheless
When the past consumes the present there will be no future

Fuck your gods
Fuck your kings
Fuck your bastard martyrs
We're the ones who suffer first in the dirt
We're the ones in the trenches

We're all worthless anyway
Join us, follow me
Subscribe to my philosophy
The things we hate, that we create
Within our mob mentality
Join us, follow me
Subscribe to my philosophy
The end's epoch, now cull the flock
Shepherds of catastrophe

Entwine and merge with me
Don't you want to be free?
Just step inside, come and see
And trust the beast in me

Oh, the cost to fill the emptiness
The crushing weight of all the pressure
I thrive in torment nonetheless
When the past consumes the present there will be no fucking future

No future

Consumed in a shadow, the one that I've created
From the guilt and sorrow, I have unrivalled hatred
An ugly life has formed, in the stagnant abyss
And you realize time won't heal this

Looking into the void but the reflection is black
Where the past is a blade that stabs you in the back
You're the fucking maggot, two heads fought for the prey
I've spoiled those sacred grounds, deceit has come your way

I see the fires burning red
A stomach filled with empty dread
Questions answered more are raised
I've not come out of this unscathed

Defeated by the failure, a mind that never stops
Sick of wasting days staring at a broken clock
Trying to shed old skin, convinced that's what I seek
Life repeats itself and shows my grasp is weak

Looking into the void, but the reflection is black
Where the past is a blade, that stabs you in the back
You're the fucking maggot, two heads, one prey
Sacred ground is spoiled, deceit has come your way

There's still blood to be shed
We've cast aside the meat and sinew
No longer bounded by the shackles of our minds
Of course our legacy continues
And when you speak of us you better pick a side

Dismiss? Negate? Contempt?
Acclaim that warrants envy
Respect, support and bond
Dedication unrivalled

The ones who did us best, ascend with us to infamy
The rest are left to rot, victims of their blasphemy

Crawl to the back of the line, you've made the list, now grow a spine
There is a place, there is a time, we will be one with the divine

This could end tomorrow, try and take it I'll show no mercy
And still you'd cry but with sorrow, as you drown in mediocrity

This place was made for God, now tell me what you see
Ignore these rival corpses, only truth will set you free
Admit that you were wrong, rejoice in Man's swansong
You'll never be our equal, but it's here where you belong

Deep euphoria, accept, defect
The legends are all true
Intense, both love and fear
Forgiveness is a privilege, atonement's why we let you in
Oh what a gift we've given, born again without your sin Открыть страницу с текстом
