1. E.L.I.T.E.

[chorus:]

the breath of a hurricane - [all shall fall]?
the breath of a hurricane - [all shall fall]?
the breath of a hurricane

it's the conspiracy on the emerald hills - the death rattle of a shadow company
the silencer, the sleeper and a charnel house - for every luxury
they've forgotten more names than i would like to recall
erect your wonder wall i will remain appalled
the 'mouths to feed' are dry with novocaine
the pure gasp eats the rain - it won't stand the breath
of a hurricane

[chorus]

(not luxuries for some... but necessities for all)

this is how i got a taste, i got a place in this unremitting call
not luxuries for some of us but necessities for all
they level out, the playing field - it's raw diplomacy
the sonic ride, the thunderbolt - tempest of equity
and line up all, with attrition now - and stroll capitol lane
the dual thrust of ambition won't... - won't stand the breath...
of a hurricane

[chorus]

i've tasted - i've tasted - i've wasted - how i've embraced it

audacious brilliance - running that welfare mile
leaving that noble drop - and a stalwart missile
it's all about vision - who shoots the biggest gun
who beats the loudest drum - who runs the longest run
silent variety - debilitated brain
compelling liberty - the breath of a hurricane

[chorus]

2. Karma

the country that i am, is lost tonight
the visions, the strucutres, the unions are sold
delusion is a dense cold forest of intrests
where freedom now just cannot unfold

there's salt in my eyes but i stil feel the same [x2]

every step out of line becomes a marathon
through solid walls of salt - karma walks on

[chorus]
yeah - karma walks on

we're suffering losses - they coat bullets hot with teflon
we're suffering losses - they run star wars, they run echelon
we're suffering losses - they got traces run on everyone

got viral blasts, shot from tv - wartactics pressed to dvd
subsonic rounds and firewalls - espionage industrial

[chorus]

the blast missed none - erratic recon
the blast missed none - i see you butcher the pawns
the blast missed none - touching horizon
the blast missed none - and karma walks on

the ambush is a commonplace where you embrace the barrel smiling
and malice bares a caring face

there's salt in my eyes but i stil feel the same
and every step is a marathon
there's salt in my eyes but i stil feel the

we're suffering losses - the temperance of hydro bombs
we're suffering losses - they pop canisters of sedition
we're suffering losses - and the pointmen carry cold passion

got blasting caps that ricochet and killing zones that lead astray
a full-blast, wipe out stategy for a militant economy

[chorus]

3. Meritocracy

he meritocracy

freedom - the contrast of freedom - the contrast

the network's avaricious, the fabric takes the darkest quote
no salvaging the designated when the hostage is the ransom note
the subtle hijacking of freedom leaves the common injury
it makes you feel like you're entitled to just a portion of your dignity
the harvest is their favorite mammon, reaping the spark in me
this is a point-blank, covert colony - i see the meritocracy

[chorus:]
the meritocracy the meritocracy
just when did liberty become the industry

freedom - the contrast of freedom - the contrast

before i subside, exhausted by aversion
i will lay, lay, lay waste their ruling circle

the dead-line, connecting all the secrecy
i will lay, lay, lay waste that monopoly

[chorus]

the favorites are travelling the byways - on their dead-soul-drives they feed
i see them bring about a shock-wave - (of ferocity)

the capitals are racing up the ladder - the circle's narrowing, indeed
you get to buy your very matter - (the meritocracy)

[chorus]

4. Dialogue

i pushed you forward - the artificial place
cause i need people with a nameless face
i pushed you backward - the natural disgrace
now we're seekers with a blinded gaze

[chorus:]
she points - i stare - but i can hardly see it through
she points - i stare - she needs me unaware
i point - you stare - but you may never see me through
i point - you stare - i love you unaware

hey rebel how long would you think it takes a running man
to kill off every king and every fucking president
to light up all the golden steppingstones that come along
in your icon-wonderland
hey rebel how long would you think it takes a common rise
to get a million people up and out and organized
to overthrow the ever common party line
while we're paralyzed

[chorus]

hey rebel how long would you think it takes a common friend
to make this world of silence really, really deafening
i'm bewildered by the menace of your energy
reaching for my medicine
you really take away the power of the healing
reaching for my medicine

running and running from all the serial enterprise
nothing is like shedding rulers - decay and - demise
gushing and gushing from all the wounds of our camouflage
trip over the government - the monarch - the entourage
[i stare - the monarch and the entourage]?

i stare at all the hungry hands - awaiting me to take the stand
i stare at every flooding cage - awaiting me to take the stage
awaiting me to take the stage - and so i will

[chorus]

i stare - the monarch and the entourage

5. The Frontline

with every context of crisis that you bend - with every arsenal and all the weaponry you invent
with every poverty-line, that you assign - you shape the frontline - you bury landmines

the frontline - the frontline
the frontline - the frontline

silent, hidden armies, handling our disappeared - the narco-cide and the gods that guide it
they're always oh so fucking clear - cryptomnesia lashes out as the cover falls behind
you shape the frontline - - you bury landmines

[chorus:]
the frontline - the frontline - it suits me fine
the frontline - the frontline - you bury landmines

bullet riddled bodies for the hedonist fuck - you got me dying to resist
because the undermined outweigh the satisfied - corrode, reload - economist
come on, and run anomalies - our people would be better of as enemies
in these dire-need democracies - we're all refugees - refugees

[chorus]

charity - luxury - positioned so comfortably
equity - battery - shake hand with hypocrisy
charity - luxury - positioned so comfortably
equity - battery - hypocrisy
the context of crisis is bent
the practice is losing intent

[chorus]

6. .Calibre

we're suffering the calibre

i drag me in and out, i'm my own contraband
i'm catering the interests, of a market i strongly resent
how crazy is that - can you feel that

i mess around, i fuck it up, somehow - i see us all getting administered
i mess around, i fuck it up, somehow - i see we're suffering, we're suffering the calibre

[chorus:]
if these shackles are routine, then prison is surrender -
we're suffering the calibre

i drag me in and out, i'm my own contraband
i'm wired to these relays, that even i can't circumvent
how crazy is that - can you feel that

i mess around, i fuck it up, somehow - i see us all getting administered
i mess around, i fuck it up, somehow - i see we're suffering, we're suffering the calibre

[chorus]

the calibre is well incorporated
the government is fully generated
initiate the sequencer
calibre

we all get out tonight - we're almost ready
i see we're suffering - we're all getting administered

we all get out tonight - we're almost ready
i see we're suffering - we're suffering the calibre

[chorus]

7. Antidote

[chorus:]
the shot - i need the antidote - shot - gimme the antidote
the shot - i want the antidote - i guess i need a lot

i guess i

this is a fucking addict - where you bring on designer dearth
it comes an' breeds dependency just about everywhere
you hand out on the free shots to cover me, 'n' hover me
ah hell, then you set up a factory
fuck yeah - you're leaning on the going rates
the keeper of the code, the filter at the gates
you play a crystal part in throwing off the weights
and every passive monitor collaborates
transistors are asphyxiant
the screens are blistering like they're effervescent
these agents have a go at... at the gathering
of raw radiation poisoning

[chorus]

this is fucking traffic - where the factory lines engage
where the moral men don't ever get to centre stage
where the artery feels like it is not
and then they pack you with a phat shot
ah yeah - there's death on the wind again
countless anarchists addicted to arrangement
syringe, the shot, the right dose of the product
and then they beat you till you're comatose
the quintessence of diligence
nothing more compulsive than my common sense
you got to beat the doors of liberation
on and on and on and on an

tacit subordinates - with your dismal pamphlets
why even post the bills - fuck that, these are poison pills
the settler sets the scene - it's filled with atropine
turns out that all is counterfeit - i waste your fucking hit

the shot - why not become the poison - shot - that bears the antidote
the shot - why not become the poison - antidote

8. The Rapist

sometimes i care to wonder about the blindfold on my soul
about the razor wire fence that isolates me in the mold
the precipice is closing in on rancid magnanimity
you starve me to the brink of ail then formulate your drugs to me
you serve it up as love but it's a grotesque felony
you got it coming now because this time you're fucking with me

[chorus:]
if you're my rapist - i'm your assassinator
did you really ever think you'd get the best of me

your everlasting status quo - you've sanitized the sore before
your movers and your shifters caper until there really is 'no more'
we live like near fatalities inside the network of dissent
don't seem to spare any expense to manufacture our consent
you serve it up as lust but it's a sick insanity
you got it coming now because this time you're fucking with me

[chorus]
(never)

yeah - i'm your assassinator
did you really ever think you'd get the best of me

all erodes from here on end - you're never getting my consent

yes i know all the victims - of your supremacy
yes i know all the victims - your fields run endlessly
yes i know all the victims - of your supremacy
there will be no more victims - this time you're fucking with me...

[chorus]

9. The Load Off

these private fantasies
of share and profit
when did the market turn this decadent

desired expertise
claiming the orbit
since when are takeovers this deviant

[chorus:]
what can you afford ?
i don't wanna get my mind off things
i don't wanna take the load off
i wanna give this wrath a face
on how the power sets the pace
i will never get my mind off things
i will never take the load off

ahh yeah
the whitewash - a warpath
compassion's - a bloodbath
the new wave - comes on a billboard
latitude - is what you can afford

[chorus]

we should be handling the trigger
with exemplary stealth and speed
or find we're caught inside the engines
of their so collective need

we should debate whatever we negate
it keeps us locked in our submissive state
wearing the uniform we're fucking clones
while the enforcer keeps the gate

the assembly - just cause in their accession
the mission statement - in their compassion

we're just a party for the rich

[chorus]

10. Imposter

imposter

[chorus:]
imposter - i am the torch at the gate
imposter - i am the switch in the grenade
imposter - i am the rush within the raid
imposter - aren't we all set to detonate.

the bulwarks have all shanties erased and we're all choking on the aftertaste
the cartels where destitution leads - enjoy the occidental stampede
these fraudulent defenders are all coming of age
extraneous endeavors to finalize their wage

[chorus]

ah worshipper of assets - the affiliate herd
and covered by the menace - we all inhale the dirt

ah the sum of all parts - makes us communards/ communards
ah the sum of all parts - makes us communards/ communards

1 i strip - my sleeve - and show my horrid scar
- rebellion is the blood that drips from this guitar
2 i lift - my shoes - and show my broken feet
- rebellion is the blood that pours down from this beat
3 i pull - my tongue - and show my bitter taste
- rebellion is the blood that trickles from this bass
4 i cut - my skin - and show my brittle bones
- rebellion is the blood that gushes from this microphone
5 ah - rebellion has to be / it has to be contagious
- because they try to do away with every last one of us
6 ah - rebellion has to be / it has to be contagious
- because they try to do away with all of us - all of us

(backings) the killer's holding office - yeah
he pulled our tongues - he broke our bones- na na na na

[chorus]

11. Complex

the assembly plant is smothering me
i'm a predefined commodity

the marauder mill needs an unpolluted grist
i can feel the strain around my wrist

we're in human farms and the scythe is cutting carefully
reaping the radical
we're in human farms and the blight is striking randomly
it's reforming me

[chorus:]
when the sedition's growing - when you force me to the front
when you say we are the product, i'm the vanguard of the hunt
when the sedition's growing - when you force me to the front
when you say we are the product, i'm the vanguard of the hunt

the automation-swell has ever-tarnished the crop
the ravenous reform will never stop

the fattening proceeds of trade activity
and we live life like a dead foundry

we're in human farms and the scythe is cutting carefully
reaping the radical
we're in human farms and the blight is striking randomly
it's reforming me

an' shock it...
i got the diligence to motivate - i got the mind-span to reallocate
the most ferocious freedom known to me - is better than the safest slavery

[chorus]

ah rake the land - the diagram is hyperbole
ah cut the stand - the reaper sure is on a role

an' shock it...
i got the diligence to motivate - i got the mind-span to reallocate
the most ferocious freedom known to me - is better than the safest slavery

12. Home Of Titans

home of titans - where extension is the frame
remission is the play - in this amaranthine game
in our compulsory advance - the conquest belts the soil
we build loggers of the wild land - that never will recoil
the terms are definite - in this exhausted engine
scarred in the heaven's blood - and seared into its skin
in the contamination range - the ice turns out insane
and a merciful tariff - does not make us humane

home of titans - where dominion stuns the will
cannibals and ogres - they have a pouch to fill
in our loathsome acumen - inheritance is tyranny
our anima is overcome - and a womb is strategy
a seduction essential - in a lunatic cadence
a perfection of the style - but a murder of the sense
the executive array - operates a mercy-cane
but the occasional pardon - does not make us humane

home of titans - where we shadow our own sun
rapists and assassins - we all become
in our machinery of greed - a life is but a tool
love is a residue - innocent blood is fuel
yes we all partake - in this atrocity
this is the land of the axe - and of the mercenary
then we write out contracts - in order not to cut a vein
but hiding slaughter in four walls - does not make us humane
