about

the prophet wrote down these crazy lyrics portraying an epic story one day, and he sent them my way. i then took to the mountains where the riffs for said lyrics came to me, along with some wicked altitude sickness.

lyrics

[part 1: machinery bop]

When the world starts a-burnin'
And the dead get ta-turnin'
All these chickens keep a-yearnin'
For lust

It's the middle of December
Their heads are getting dismembered
For the cult made all their members
From dust

The wind blows in from the East
Following behind is the Beast
Only one mission left to meet;

Sitting on a throne is the Queen
Metamorphosized to intrigue
Making sure the nation reigns Supreme;

Little did the Beast know
There's more to this than a show
The cult is not all they reap and sow

Yet, still the Beast continues
Errupting from within, shoots
Out minions, who were forced to choose

Critters crawl onto the scene
Making their way to the team
Wobbling, as fat as can
be

Something must be inside them
There's evidence there's somethin'
What ever it is it has an awful
stench

But what could we have ever known
We are all so turned into
The obvious and scared of the unknowns
Of trust

Caged!

Crazed!

Craved!
(x2)

Arranging for a meeting
Can we sort this peacefully?
Retain the Market for all species
far and wide

Maturing way too slowly
Or rapidly declining
We are those that are deciding
other's fates

The queen didn't like that answer
No peacefulness here
Their team blocked all the exits

Closing in from behind,
the front, left, and right
The only way out is up,
or down

[part 2: mechanical slop]

Rise from the ashes of
Life, and let your mind be
Free.

Stand up for what you believe, and let your body roam
Free.

Fight back by simply ignoring, and set your soul at
Ease

At ease

[metal shuffle]

Peace.

[part 3: war drums]

We won the day
We are victorious tonight

Showing that we can prevail
In a world we don't belong in

Without this chance
I thought that I would end my life

But there's an oasis that I have always been longing for

The battle has begun
The battle must be won
Now for the next one


Riiiise!

Peace.
