Albatross

|
The rotted bird looked him squarely in the eye
'Mariner, why did I have to die?'
Four hundred men, melting in the sun
The mariner lives for he’s the chosen one
Leather now coats the deck
Visions now paste his mind
He should have died, he should have died
Burned in hell with his crew
He should have died, he should have died
His soul of coal burning a cold fire

Gold Star
02:52
|
|||
|
No one knew your noble choice, it defined your future life
Those who helped cheered and praised you, you stood tall you did not brag
Keep it safe its your gold star, keep it safe its your gold star!
Society gave crap to you, and you stood tall in your truth
People did not understand, the gold star it is your prize
Gold star, keep your gold star
Gold star hold your gold star

Sleeping or Dead
03:42
|
|||
|
I know you think I am a loser
I could be your Mother Father or
Can’t assume the Next person will
Help where needed Do you know my story
Anyone can be a hero Be the one and do it
Anyone can be a hero Be the one and do it
Don’t worry about What other people think
Don’t keep walking by Or just stand and stare
The more of you there are The less help I will get
If help is the choice Be the One and do it

Namaste Bitches
02:24
|
|||
|
Un ef you or whatever, my conscious is clear
Don't be so offended, namaste bitches
Apologies are lacking, I sleep just fine at night
Your problems are yours, leave my problems mine
If you see me coming, best you turn around
Suggest that you start walking, close that pretty mouth
Find the darkest corner, crawl into the shade
Forget you ever knew me, and wish yourself away
Namaste bitches, namaste bitches
Namaste bitches, namaste bitches

Dark Hereafter
03:32
|
|||
|
In the moonlight I tread across the sands
Steal into the pyramid, the tomb of man
I trip the trap, trapping me inside, it slowly fills with sand, a thief’s way to die
No one mourns a thief, buried in the sand forever sleep
No one mourns a thief, buried in the sand 1000 feet deep
Immortal in the dark hereafter
Where do I rank among the dead?
The station of a past life
Cannot defeat mortality
Mortal! Mortal! Mortal! Mortal
The crushing sand, turning me to stone, immortalizing me like a God, forever
Ironic, I'm more valuable than the tomb I raid

Spread the Hate
03:39
|
|||
|
Confronted by cowards, that I must fight alone
Surrounded by friends, who say I’m on my own
Trolling online, parent’s basement, cyberbullies, spread the hatred
Bringing down, to their size, depressed existence, adults with no lives
Awash with hatred, I lose my fight, buried in it, I lose my sunlight
I will stand up, take it all in, absorb the hatred, that way I win
Drag these losers, from the basement, into the sun, melt the hatred
Stop the spreading, of their green skin, spread it wide, spread the hate thin

Humanity Demise
04:13
|
|||
|
As the world begins to burn
And the light escapes from your eyes
And you feel the ground with your hands
The ashes of your life
As your soul is held up to the light
And it burns upon one side
And is quickly cast away
Humanity demise
As the world now turns to ice
And the sky floats away
A dead and lifeless orb
Spiraling thru space

Plank
03:45
|
|||
|
'Look Alive!' he said boarding his ship
He took the keel and looked him in the eye
Sick of MySpace and the World Warcraft?
Get outside and make yourself a board
'Fifteen men to take me down!'
Took less than half to knock him on his crown
Take a pic and share it with your friends
And get a life cause your social skills are bent
The wind suddenly died
The rudder drifts amid ship
The server suddenly fried
My friends blocked me in a blink of an eye
Online friends are but a lie

Metal Grave
03:15
|
|||
|
In the black of night I scaled the fence
Dreams of 455 running thru my head
As I pull parts from my 455
Falls off the blocks leaving me to die
And as darkness falls, I’m shoved thru the ground
Alone to die in my metal grave
As darkness falls, I’m shoved thru the ground
Alone to die in my metal grave
The water speaks to me, the water speaks to me
The water speaks to me, the water speaks to me
No one knows I’m there, no one finds me there
No one hears me scream, no one knows I’m still alive

Mausoleum
03:20
|
|||
|
I reach out into thin air
I reach out but you are not there
I reach out into thin air
I reach out but you are not there
Run away, feeling gray as they lower me down
The coffin walls are closing in the blood as it soaks right through
Run away, feeling black as I start to rot within
They’re crawling in and crawling out the worms, eat my mind now
Each passing day I crawl towards the surface of my tomb
I break through these mausoleum walls in the moonlight’s gloom
I take one look around realize you were never here
I march toward your doom your end my dear
I will have my revenge
I rather die alone than know you’re living here without me

Severed Head
03:28
|
|||
|
Slam shift through the gears, the end to all your leers, your ass filled with fear
Smoke and broken glass, shoved squarely up your ass, now I will ask you
Please remove your severed head from my car's hood
Please remove your severed head from my car’s hood
455 rocket in my Buick, case of keystone in my lap, anger off my conscious
Your severed head upon my hood
Please remove your severed head from my car's hood
Please remove your severed head from my car’s hood
Please remove your severed head from my car's hood
Please remove your severed head from my car’s hoooooooooooood
