Escalating tensions leading us to darkened times I question what can happen Profligate, our leaders push us in a foul direction Just to line their pockets Egos rise while they engage in violent rhetoric Their threats of destruction Expectations of a blistered earth they ignore They have us marching towards War In due time death shall fall like rain In due time we'll pass our point of no return In due time the end will come, and all will be pain In due time we shall watch our world burn Burn Grandiose, bragging of a finger on the button pompous in their actions Push aside the consequences of their decisions Modus operandi Attributing the blame to political opponents Red faced accusals Blackening the end and bringing forth ruin They have us marching towards War Termination, expectation, degradation, nothing will thrive Population, expiration, cancellation, millions of lives
2.
Under cover of law, enforced with violence Villainy protected by the blue wall of silence Use of excessive force breeding dubiety Filling the public with constant anxiety Rise, oppose, destroy Fabricated suspicion, arrested sans evidence Innocent people torn down, broken when they defend Constant brutality fueled by the war on drugs and racial profiling, enforced with shotgun slugs Rise, oppose, destroy Gunshots and flashing lights Arrests end violently A nation held in fear by Police brutality Serve and protect That promise broken Harm and neglect Their crimes unspoken Perpetual and never ending Corrupt and seeped into their core These blood-stained shards Of public trust Truth is a prisoner of war
3.
Piles of corpses Democracy Rivers of blood Foreign policy Support the moderate rebels while they still serve our ends Historic, we have always followed this foul policy Supply them with the weapons and the training they require Because supporting extremists has never ended poorly Promises of peace Twisted into war Fire from the skies Endless warfare Bodies piled high Fuel for the machine ’Til the end of time Endless warfare Oil fields near Influences A sudden change In policy Remove our protection from allies for dozens of years Discovered cables show the truth of our ultimate goals Ignoring outcomes that resulted in the death of many Decisions based on fiscal goals and not humanity Exercising influence across the middle east Always ending in war while we preach about peace Nations burning to the ground, but opium defend And so we keep perpetuating war without end

Damnation 04:34
They drink damnation from a blackened chalice Their crimes warrant no redemption Suffer as one for their malice Their can be no exception They drink damnation as it overflows Marching forwards to perditions throes Earthly pleasures now replaced with pain Begin their eternal suffering The people screaming, the Earth is dying They drink damnation as their cities burn to the ground Bullets of filth from guns of ruin A path to hell paved with destruction

Murder! Annihilate, rid the world Vengeance! Fight hate with hate Torture! Prolong their pain; bleed them dry Fascists! Your time has come Slaughter! Eviscerate, end their lives Evil! Poisonous views Slaughter! Die by the sword; retribution Fascists! Your time has come Purge from our nation this vile filth Supreme to none, just nazi scum Violent! Our resistance, no quarter Broken! They shall become Strangle! Their grip on society Fascists! Your time has come

Wiping the sweat with my fingers from my eyes Radioactive beasts circling me Position crosshairs on a tooth-filled maw Exploding bodies spray the desert with gore Wasteland butcher, tear your apart Wasteland butcher, rip you apart Unleash the nuclear assault from my arsenal Bring the humans to their knees Mutated mongrels have descended upon you Their teeth are gnashing as you bleed Traversing endless miles of dry desert Looking for more humans to slay Keeping their bloodied scalps with me as trophies Murder them all with my knife blade Blood splatters forth From shattered heads Crushed in my hands Torn from their lifeless bodies We dominate The human race We are the future There is no escape from the Wasteland butcher Tear you apart
