CITAZIONE ----> Eat the Children <---- Hush little baby Don't make a sound Hush little baby Don't make a move This is gonna hurt Me more than you
If I'm a danger To myself Just think what I Could do to you
Twisting and turning My insides are burning Like larva feeding From the kill
The pestilence of decadence I worship my emptiness I'm ravaged by the Damages of this hell
Eat the children raw Eat the children raw Eat the children raw
Feasting on bait As worms are asleep
Operators are standing by Some Restrictions May apply Side effects could include We'll steal the life Right out of you
Descending, I'm mending But still I'm pretending I regress to become one of them
They gave me this friction They yield to my diction I can't repress myself
Eat the children raw Eat the children raw Eat the children raw
Feasting on bait These worms are asleep
Operators are standing by Some Restrictions May apply Side effects could include We'll steal the life Right out of you
If I'm a danger To myself Just think what I Could do to you
Role model #1 Taught you how to shave Role model #2 Took you to the PTA Tell us how to dress And teach us to obey But they never heard a word That you had to say For shame For shame
'Cause I am vermin I'm the anti-Christ Just another lonely chapter In the book of lies
Don't they know That they are the prey Don't they know They are the prey Don't they know That they are the prey
Don't they know I'm predator Don't they know They are the prey Don't they know I'm predator Don't they know I'm insane Don't they know I'm predator Don't they know They are the prey Don't they know I'm predator Don't they know I'm insane
Eat the children raw Eat the children raw Eat the children raw
Feasting on bait These worms are asleep
Operators are standing by Soul restrictions May oblige Follow this simple rule Do unto them before They do unto you
These wounds cut deep And I'm out for blood
| Torna Su | CITAZIONE ----> Crooked Spoons <---- Take me down Where the baptized drown
So they say (Surface dweller Shallow swimmer)
Let's lick my wounds...
So they say I killed a man So they say I took his head So they say he was a scourge And all the world are his children
The best thing they ever did In this life was let me live
Digging swiftly out of Hell Madness helps me save myself Crooked spoons on every wall Genocide lines the hall Ten gauge needles and a prayer Smearing sin everywhere
What else could you need You've taken everything What else could you need You've taken everything (Surface Dweller Shallow Swimmer)
Let's lick my wounds...
We feed until we're engorged Let them sleep I need some more Nooses made of human hair Bodies falling from thin air
We speak and preach forbidden truth This is it, we're through with you I'm choosing to lose my mind Rape the blade and call it wine
Crooked spoons on every wall Genocide lines the hall Ten gauge needles and a prayer Smearing sin everywhere
What else could you need You've taken everything What else could you need You've taken everything (Surface dweller Shallow swimmer)
Take me where the baptized drown
I sleep too deep for you to wake me I sleep too deep for you to wake me I sleep too deep for you You'll never wake me
My lips are kissed With tiny stitches
What else could you need You've taken everything What else could you need You've taken everything
The venom that slips From your lips The tiny lies Shining in your eyes Pain in my veins Shallow, hallow Incarcerated Soul
I sleep too deep for You to wake me up!
| Torna Su | CITAZIONE ----> Perfectly Flawed <---- If you do this You'll never have A chance to try again If you do this You'll never have A chance to try
It's the same sound Same sting The same collapse Of every thing
It's the same slice Same blade The same lie Same old vein
My weight My face My height My race I'm a mistake.
My weight My face My height My race I'm such a disgrace.
You're perfectly flawed You're perfectly incomplete Like cracks in the glass And faded photographs
You're perfectly flawed You're perfectly incomplete Let them come near when Perfection's the key you need
Nothing left to lose Just try again Nothing left to lose Just try again
Its the same doubt The same dream It's the same sabotage 'Cause I'm the enemy
It's the same night Same day It's the same parasite Feeding on the betrayal
My weight My face My height My race I'm a mistake
My weight My face My height My race I'm such a disgrace
You're perfectly flawed You're perfectly incomplete like cracks in the glass And faded photographs
You're perfectly flawed You're perfectly incomplete A work in progress Perfection's the key you need
A disguise of self-deception Hides my secrets perfectly I'm rejecting my reflection 'Cause I hate the way it judges me
Don't you do it You're not even you yet Don't you do it You're not even you yet
You're perfectly flawed You're perfectly incomplete Like cracks in the glass And faded photographs
You're perfectly flawed You're perfectly incomplete A work in progress Perfection's the key you need
| Torna Su | CITAZIONE ----> Confrontation <---- Don't be silent, fight! Violence, melees And disturbances of peace
Here's your introduction To destruction And the hate sustaining me Are we safer or in danger? Drowning in atrocities Riot gear, the slaves are here Piling corpses high Its the rich man's war But its the poor that fight
More capitalist crimes More enemies than allies No W.M.D.'s Who gives a fuck if they die? Just kill 'em all Watch 'em fall Skin the world with their lies It's the rich man's war But its the poor that fight
Stand up, speak out Strike back! Stand up, speak out Strike back! They don't know What they started Confrontation!
My religion of resistance Challenging everything Radicals and dissidents Of creativity We are the children Of the siege you hide In this rich man's war Where the poor just die
More deception and greed More wars and disease More lies from the high mind That seek to deceive A weak nation of need Like silent thieves in the night It's a rich man's war But its the poor that die
Stand up, speak out Strike back! Stand up, speak out Strike back! They don't know What they started Confrontation!
Stand, fight Speak, fight Strike back! Stand, fight Speak, fight Strike back! They don't know What they started Confrontation!
This is my battle cry Defy the lies Of the tyrant race With a fist in the air And a finger in their face!
Defy the tyrants Don't be silent Defy the tyrants Don't be silent Defy the tyrants Don't be silent Defy the tyrants Don't be silent
Stand up, speak out Strike back! Stand up, speak out Strike back! They don't know What they started Confrontation!
Stand, fight Speak, fight Strike back! Stand, fight Speak, fight Strike back! They don't know What they started Confrontation!
There's no way They can stop us now There's no way They can stop us now There's no way They can stop us So let them try We fight or we die

| Torna Su | CITAZIONE ----> Invisible <---- Dress like we do Speak like we do Think like we do Obey
Beneath the cold sun Watching you walk away Where my terror runs In rivers of decay I am invisible
I'm in this room for days Teeth on every wall They never go away
I'm made of blades and flame I'm sick and dangerous You're still my favorite prey, 'Cause I hurt the ones I love
You're so lovely when you cry You're so perfect when you lie You can be my crucifix (You never saw it coming You never knew what hit you!) Hold me up to watch me die
Can't you see? Well, I'm invisible
(Lies, lies Lies, lies Lies, lies Lies, lies)
Beneath the pagan moon One more prey dies today On sheets of flesh and doom Shivering in endless shade Like criminals The stain still remains And I promise you It never goes away
You're so lovely when you cry You're so perfect when you lie You can be my crucifix (You never saw it coming You never knew what hit you!) Hold me up to watch me die
Behold! Feast your eyes As the peripherals explode
Can you see me now? Can you see me now?
The ugly will resign When the young blood Eats the light And one day, this pain Could save your life
You're so lovely when you cry You're so perfect when you lie You can be my crucifix (You never saw it coming You never knew what hit you!) Hold me up to watch me die (NOW THE BLIND CAN SEE. NOW THEY NOTICE ME)
Laying in the shelter Laying here alive We're painting submission accross our shadowed skies Fire on the side, burning bright as i rise lost in flight on you're golden molted wings
Now do you see? Now do you see? Now do you Now, do you see?

| Torna Su | CITAZIONE ----> Adrenochrome Dreams <---- I had this dream Where I woke up To a grand commotion. And uhm I just jumped From the blankets And whipped the door From its lock And rush blindly Into the blackness Of the hallway But there, on all sides Lying next to each other Were rows and rows Of executioners
Some were shirtless, robeless And throbbing with anticipation. Sweat delicatley sneaking Through their body hair All were hooded Some like seventeenth Century guillotine henchemen Others had crudely made hoods Like scarecrows Or sudden ripped ski masks With slobber from Their clenching jaws And some had burlap masks Sum together That looked like they Were made of human skin
Each one held a weapon Large mallets Crudely fashioned axes And large clubs pipes
But I wasn't compelled To retreat No
I was forced to Move between them Past their swinging weapons The clubs The bats The slicing tools The shovels The large and small axes Big boards with nails Staples and razorblades Embedded in them Taking the beating Falling down Getting up Again and again And again and again Driven to make it out At any cost
And next I stumbled into a This strange marshy world Where I was, I was oddly drowning In squirrels and other large Starving rodents Then From above Out on the treetops Several dolls fell from the branches Were they were hanging With nooses made of human hair They all, uh, they started biting and sucking And trying to feed from me Trying to enter my belly And some pushed large needles Into my veins and And as I looked back Some had nails through Their hands, torsos and throats
I was froze Dead eyes carbonized As I kicked them away I could see all around me Of piles and piles Of dead sea life Large fish, smelly crustaceans Covered all in dead shrouds
And their soulless Empty bodies whispered A secret language I couldn't decipher But somehow understood
And their cries were "Feed me... feed me..."
They wanted me to devour Those around them Chew them up into a paste And smear them inside their mouths And as I turned around I could see the shape of a woman Perfect Perfectly erotic Squatting over a pile Of these dead things... And as I ran to her and said "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"
And she had no face And she turned to glass And suddently cracked And then exploded into 1000 pieces at my feet
And just as I took a quick breath this world was shoved and decimated But an intruding tidal wave Of microorganisms, neutrinos, exploding atoms, and binding molecules
I was suddenly in the moon then Frightened, aching, and alone... And that's what I remember most...
...The ache.
I can't escape
