CARNIVAL OF FLESH LYRICS

1. Angst

Starting yet another day with the gusts of fright
Will you ever in your life experience delight?
Between a flirt with suicide and watching the world melt

You can't but keep on questioning the cards that you've been dealt
The whole world is up in flames
And not for your gains
Here comes existential dread
Don't you wish you were dead?
It's all in your head
The waters are tainted with blood
To please the new god
Divinity of death unfolds
Our hopes and our dreams are enchained
But we're entertained
To anguish, we're keenly attuned
By grief, we're consumed
To preserve our habitat you solemnly implore
But what you find on your path is another bolted door
You've seen it all before
Dedicating all your life to exploring new frontiers

Capturing them in your mind, before they disappear
The end is coming near
The waters are tainted with blood
To please the new god
Why isn't he glad?
The terrors are starting again
The acts inhumane
Is this all in vain?
Bask in pain

Grip your chain
Bask in pain
Slit your veins

2. The One

Gaze at the stars
With the cosmic privilege, this planet shall be ours
Groom their brains

Eradicate the notion of all but your own gains
Make the mould
With acts of inhumanity and stories yet untold
Give no ease
Through constant fear-mongering and agents of disease
Raise up to the skies
Develop a religion on the throne of lies
Where everybody dies
Start your grand campaign
Promise all the change yet keep everything the same
Then start it all again
Address the herd, ecstatically

In your nascent reign
Like a roving vagabond
Rambling with no aim
Disarray — is the only given way
To keep you safe in power
For yet another day
Mend their scars
For it is a grand privilege to keep the realm from harms
Fan the flame

Of hatred towards anyone who smears your holy name
Declare a war
On freedom, self-identity and independent thought

Heed the horde
Savour the bewilderment and choirs of discord
Express your care, dramatically
For all those who abstain
But remind them, equally
That you′re here to remain

Now you've captured everyone, between the love and fear
A glimpse of your face is what they all hold dear
You are now their everything, their family and friend
They will follow, loyally, even when they′re dead
Your tight rule is recognised as a work of art
Anyone who disagrees will quickly depart
You are the most eloquent, so deep and so profound
When the cycle is complete, go start another round

3. Tropical Plunder

Ride on the wave of ignorance and fear
Far from the shore that′s soon to disappear
Start another war, like you've never seen before

Blaze all the grounds and revel in absurdity once more

Emerge out of your cave
Tint your blood with the hate
Obey

Servants of insanity are flocking to the gate
Erase the crowds
Embrace the sound of the end
Pray for the world
Even if only to pretend
Bring the peace
With your toxins and disease
Release us all
From free will and morale
Decree a mandate
To consume and fornicate
Soothe the soul
With ultimate control
Spread the word
Life is absurd
In this world you′ll suffer
But eternal slumber
Will come once you

Rise from the flames of deliverance and tears
Shout at the world —
The end is coming near
Reap all the seeds of hatred and deceit
Wear your new crown and admire your sick monarchy complete
Ride on the wave of ignorance and fear

Far from the shore that's soon to disappear
Start another war, like you've never seen before
Blaze all the grounds and revel in absurdity
Revel in absurdity once more

4. Can of Sorrow

Economy of fear
The future is unclear
Markets of despair

It's time for a new affair
Starting out on the sly
A rebellious entity has formed
Walking out to the plains
To try and end your sovereign rule again
Violence
Vehemence

Malevolence
Deafening sound
Shatters the ground
Teargas and dust
Fanfares of war
Amidst all the haze
And the seas of tears
The stage is being set
And the message is so clear

Those meant to protect
Have turned onto their own
Their only request
Is to break your every bone
And if you end up dead
That would be a disgrace
Your family and friends
Would vanish without a trace
Now you're running for your life

Like many times before
All you wanted was a change
Not another war
Thoughts of the rebellion
Quickly start to fade

When your life is on the line
A choice has to be made

Prevalence
Obedience
Blessedness
Opulence
The mighty regime

The victory supreme
Disobedient disgrace
Has been put into their place
Never again
Will we march in the plains
The sorrows of this world
Will culminate in pain
Again

5. Mask of Humanity

Swipe away
All the feelings of yesterday

Wear the mask
To prove that you're up to the task
Raise the shield
Your true self can't be revealed
Go to war
As so many times before
Switch the tears
For success and career

But as you lay
All colours turn to grey
Maybe one fine day

You will allow yourself
A new emotion
Swipe away
For it is a brand new day
It feels like time is slowing
Unknowing I slowly went insane
It feels like time is slowing
Unknowing

I slowly went insane
The night transcends the day
The solar winds are blowing
Ongoing
My heart was left ablaze
The solar winds are blowing
Ongoing
My heart was left ablaze

Now filling with dismay
The deepest scars are showing

They're growing
I welcomed endless pain
The deepest scars are showing
They're growing
I welcomed endless pain
The day you walked away

6. Rapacity

Harvest all the resources
Convert them all to fuel
Trigger mass extinction

In the manner most cruel
Pollutants in the waterways
And toxins in the air
Our endemic habitat
Is now beyond repair

The atmosphere burns
Should we be concerned?
Or should we have no
Complaints?
Decisions unwise
Dictate the demise
The time's running out
For games
In this carbon prison
The plagues we gladly receive
Wildly shifting seasons
What more do you need to believe?
Believe
And grieve
We're swiftly caving under
Releasing a woeful sigh
While feeling constant hunger
We're deeply in denial
A case of moral blunder

Instilled voracious ways
May pillage, rape and plunder

Bring forth the end of days
The sound of roaring thunder

Conceals a glaring lie
With glaciers torn asunder
The land is left to dry
The noise is getting louder
Eruptions blast for days
The clouds of toxic powder
Are setting us ablaze

The fire still burns
Envelops the world
Unites us again
In flames
Vermilion skies
The nature's last cries
Nothing but death
Remains
Impurity of reason
Begat the end of the world

The world
Aeons long
Everlasting song
Undone
The penalty

For rapacity
Has come

7. The Great Escape

Open the arteries
Of all the enemies
Fulfil the prophecy

Which is your legacy
Have no anxieties
On path of clarity

Purge all the vanity
Establish serenity
Now!
Slashing your way through the oncoming swarm
Of people in exile, beneath your social norm
Clearing the path to your secret estate

Where means of salvation for you still dearly wait
Open the arteries
Of friends and family
Safe will only be
Elite society
Close the door
To hear them no more
Bask in despise

Of a species left to die
Take one last glance
At the people left to chance
Increase their gloom
With your ship′s exhaust fumes
Now it's time to leave
Time to make the great escape
Fly away
Burning all the fuel
Leave behind this ruined world
Reach the skies
Or stay and die

8. Liberation

Pray for deliverance
Pray for our souls' immortality
No obedience

Pray that one day we'll all be free
From incompetence
Free from our broken society
Free from diffidence
Free to end this misery
Be free
Escape
With me
We're the plague
This truth you can't ignore
There's one way
To undo what we have done before
Leave no trail
To be found
Nevermore
So we are found
Nevermore
Rise above the overwhelming pain
Wash the guilt in the acid rain
As we melt under the midnight moon

We're pure
No more reverence
Free from our shackled morality
No more bitterness
Free from this sombre reality

9. Requiem for a World

All that burned has turned to ash
Not a drop left of seven seas
History's reduced to dust

There's no trace we were ever here
All these worlds are barren and cold
All these worlds spiral out of control

Heading for the endless void
On the end of celestial course

Agonies have now long passed
Devoid of life came the time of peace
Gradually we decayed ourselves
Into nothing
All these words are echoes of souls
All these words are better untold
Mimicries of times of old
The last breath of the universe
As the space folds over time
In eternal rest may this planet lie
