Unbound 02:40
The system vies for complete control. Your treason of self will smother all. Among the faceless ranks of enemies forces work to undo the whole. There are no laws higher than my own. Fucking charlatan cowards will be overthrown. Amassing power from your failures of will. The ground longs for royal blood to be fucking spilled. I will not be bound and dragged by your laws or lawman’s grasp. I evade the dogs and chains and scorch all earth in my path. I rule a kingdom of myself outside the reach of men and cast down every traitor from the highest mountain. The system vies for complete control. No civilians in the war of mind and soul. The age of fear ends with a tyrant's death. And I’d bring the whole world crumbling down just for one free breath.
2.
Weaponized 02:09
The words of rage become a dead, forgotten tongue. Our contention: language lost, song unsung. Normalized destruction of self. Infiltration of all defenses. Burning out into abyss. Imprisoned and dopesick. Weaponized addiction. Dulled to complete harmlessness. Subjugation by substance. A flattening of all resistance. You live a life of no consequence. Forces conspire to bring you to heel. The leaders of men wield pain and fear. Weaponized addiction.
3.
Siege 02:00
There’s no solace, there’s no unity in being the last of a dying species. Besieged by hordes and the spread of disease. I fucking dig deep and let them come for me. No one left to carry the fire. The torch burns out in ash. Savages ride down the survivors. I succumb to indifference. You say it’s always darkest before the dawn but I’m still waiting for the light to come.
