EXODUS LYRICS

1. Persona Non Grata

I am the one you blacklist
The one so quickly dismissed
My being, untoward
No hatred unexplored
Discarded, cast aside
All anger magnified
This is my emancipation
Cut the tumor buried deep inside

Your voice brings me to rage
I can't stand the thought of you
Persona non grata

Repay my faith misguided
This falling house divided
My words you disavow
Verbal shots across my bow
Cannon fodder I'll be no more
Enemy now at your door
This is my emancipation
My silence now becomes a roar

Your voice brings me to rage
I can't stand the sight of you
Persona non grata

I've been the downcast
I've took the blame
For all the shit you've laid on me
You put me dead last
Defile my name
To bring me to my knees

I will rise up
And drop you out
Revolution under way
I buy your silence
Paid for in violence
This is my independence day

Your voice brings me to rage
I can't stand the thought of you
Discord is my true reward

I detest you
I protest you
I've obsessed you

You require me
You retire me
You rewire me

I walk away unsoiled
My revenge uncoiled
The one you so despised
Now one not recognized
Here I stand, tower above you
Under foot, I think not of you
This is my emancipation
Living in a world devoid of you

Your voice brings me to rage
I can't stand the thought of you
Persona non grata
Persona non grata

Persona non grata

2. R.E.M.F.

Obey the order
Charge into the breach
Battalions take up the fight
While fat ass bureaucrats far out of reach
Watch via satellite
Power politics while thousands of clicks
From the front lines
Brave men at arms
Take the bull by the horns
Winning, their bottom line

Cannon fire makes the skies glow
Brass and lead make the cash flow
Bleed and die, why, we don't know
On behalf of all these
Rear echelon motherfuckers

Quell the storm
And ride the thunder
Fighting across the divide
In the name of all the lies and the blunders
Of men not qualified
We know ballistics
And they know statistics
Acceptable death rates
But if gunfire were near
Would they volunteer?
Bullets don't discriminate

Cannon fire makes the skies glow
Brass and lead make the cash flow
Bleed and die, why, they don't know
On behalf of all these
On behalf of all these
On behalf of all these
Rear echelon
Motherfuckers

3. Slipping into Madness

A silent killer
Something you have never heard of
That is taking lives away so lethally
Never minding
What it is that is consumed
And with deadly consequences as the key
Diabilito
Nicknamed the little devil
Has the country in an epidemic state
Pharma chemists
Have now recreated it
And given it another name

The cartels, the doctors, the pharmacists
Infection, affliction, dissension
The death tolls, the red room, sedation
Addiction plaguing the youth

Slipping into madness
Fire up the high
Slipping into madness
Just slip away and die
Slipping into madness
Fire up the high
Slipping into madness
Just slip away and die

So pay the dealer
And score a little bag
Because ground control has now killed Major Tom
Compulsive nature
That is tearing at your soul
And you didn't read the writing on the wall
That the injection
Isn't overdrawn
And the hit becomes another chance to die
The sudden rushing
With euphoria's achieved
Nodding with the needle still inside

The cartels, the doctors, the pharmacists
Infection, affliction, dissension
The death tolls, the red room, sedation
Addiction plaguing the youth

Slipping into madness
Fire up the high
Slipping into madness
Just slip away and die
Slipping into madness
Fire up the high
Slipping into madness
Just slip away and die

The brutal truth is
The opiated generation
Now a poster child for suicide
The blind consumption
Can be one's demise
As depressions in a catatonic state
Now in a coma
And breathing through a tube
LD2MG is all it takes
Another service
Another family member gone
Handed the certificate of fate

The cartels, the doctors, the pharmacists
Infection, affliction, dissension
The death tolls, the red room, sedation
Addiction plaguing the youth

Slipping into madness
Fire up the high
Slipping into madness
Just slip away and die
Slipping into madness
Fire up the high
Slipping into madness
Just slip away and die

4. Elitist

Social climber
Know-it-all
Patronizer
Punisher

Stuck up, pretentious and overbearing
High and mighty when the world implodes
Condescending, an upstart offender
Cruel and callous when I know you are wrong

Ring on the bell to call for service
Bang on the gong to clean the mess up
Now I've used every friend I've ever had
And it doesn't look like I'm stopping there!

I'm an elitist
(Elitist)
'Cause I'm an elitist
(Elitist)

A-list big shot
Smarter than most
Yes, egotistic
Money to boast

Slicing up the stiff neck and lifting the high brow
Focusing on things I get for free
Opinions superior, attitudes aloud
Here comes another victim to bleed

Ring on the bell to call for service
Bang on the gong to clean the mess up
Now I've used every friend I've ever had
And it doesn't look like I'm stopping there!

Antagonistic
Money monger
Passive sadistic
Makes me stronger

Barefaced and brassy and flagrantly fucked
Loud, ostentatious and crass
Extensively fancy but soft to the touch
Smile to your face when I pocket your cash

Ring on the bell to call for service
Bang on the gong to clean the mess up
Now I've used every friend I've ever had
And it doesn't look like I'm stopping there!

I'm an elitist
(Elitist)
I'm an elitist
(Elitist)

5. Prescribing Horror

Discarded, deformed
Babies of the chemical age
Mutated, some unborn
Dying in their fetal cage
On the day of the nativity in '56
Comes a child forsaken
The first of a hundred thousand
Cursed by a drug they'd taken

Condemned to a life unkind
As they suffered in silence
The Hell of Thalidomide
All in the name of science
A mother's ruin
All for another's greed
Prescribing horror and sorrow when they breed

Miscarriage, disparage
Live a life of anguish
Midwives were taking lives
So the child it would not languish
Suffocating newborn daughters and sons
For their malformations
Given toxic poison
That twisted a generation

Condemned to a life unkind
As they suffered in silence
The Hell of Thalidomide
All in the name of science
A mother's ruin
All for another's greed
Prescribing horror and sorrow when they breed

First created in the past
As an antidote for Sarin gas
Created in camps of death
What price a pound of flesh?
Limbless, eyeless
All organs displaced
They made money hand over fist
By selling this toxic waste

Condemned to a life unkind
As they suffered in silence
The Hell of Thalidomide
All in the name of science
A mother's ruin
All for another's greed
Prescribing horror and sorrow when they breed

6. The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves)

Another day, another riot
Another fire lighted
Has got you feeling down
They're coming with the cure
And demanding that you try it
I hear it's the talk of the town
A little PMA through pepper spray
To put a little joy right in your day
Bringing cheer in riot gear
All you gotta do, is obey
All the rank and file
Take their beatings and smile
As they cross your names off the list
Welcome to the fold
With a choke hold
Preach to the flock with a fist
Sunny days will dawn
At the end of a baton
Turn grey skies black and blue
Remedy the mood
With a blood feud
Here's what you gotta do

Smile at all the beatings
All the punches and the greetings
All the blows and the bleeding
Until you like it
Smile at being battered
All the bones being shattered
All the blood being splattered
Until you like it
Rejoice in all the horror
Until you can't ignore her
And you revel in disorder
Soon you'll like it
Grin at the abuse
You've got nothing left to lose

The beatings will continue
Until morale improves

Smile at all the beatings
All the punches and the greetings
All the blows and the bleeding
Until you like it
Smile at being battered
All the bones being shattered
All the blood being splattered
Until you like it
Rejoice in all the horror
Until you can't ignore her
And you revel in disorder
Soon you'll like it
Grin at the abuse
You've got nothing left to lose

The beatings will continue
Until morale improves
The beatings will continue
Until morale improves
The beatings will continue
Until morale improves
The beatings will continue
Until morale improves

7. The Years of Death and Dying

I am the years of death and dying
I tear with gripping teeth
I prey upon all the weary
Eliminate the weak

Not a day in your life passes
When you won't think of me
No thoughts and prayers can save you
So get up off of your knees

When I sense a weakness
I move in with blazing speed
Mothers, brothers, fathers and sons
It matters not to me

I'm a force of nature pure and sure
I've killed through all of time
When a gale force wind blows through you
You'll know that you are mine
I am legend, I'm your end
You'll wither when I'm near
I'm the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears

You may have had a brush with me
Escaped and saved yourself
Most likely I was occupied
With killing someone else

Legends fall when I come to call
As I plan my next attack
Petty things won't matter
Just ask the man in black

The rage is gone and so is bon
So young in their demise
I ended the eruption
I took them in their prime

I'm a force of nature pure and sure
I've killed through all of time
When a gale force wind blows through you
You'll know that you are mine
I am legend, I'm your end
You'll wither when I'm near
I'm the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears

I cull the herd with no remorse
Taking souls along the way
I'm here to set the balance
Of all you have to pay

I turned Ziggy into stardust
I've been killing ever since
I took an eagle from the sky
I even killed a prince

Struck down the queen
Bid farewell to kings
I took the angel of death
I'm always at the ready
To take away your breath

I'm a force of nature pure and sure
I've killed through all of time
When a gale force wind blows through you
You'll know that you are mine
I am legend, I'm your end
You'll wither when I'm near
I'm the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears

8. Clickbait

False headlines full of lies to keep us entertained
Promises made to lure you in, yet nothing gained
Draw you in like vultures to a pile of rotting meat
The snare is set in bold lettering as we swallow the deceit

So naïve
So easily deceived
So ignorant
Fall for all the tales they weave
They mislead
They speak and every word we heed
Hearing only what we think we need

We take the clickbait
Follow as they lead
With every word, they captivate
We blindly follow
Their trail like human sheep
Never awake, always asleep

Twisting people's words and then they pour them in your ears
In with the lies, out with the truth, all facts just disappear
Spoken words are mangled into ones you never meant
All distorted, corrupting all intent

So naïve
So easily deceived
So ignorant
Fall for all the tales they weave
They mislead
They speak and every word we heed
Hearing only what we think we need

We take the clickbait
Follow as they lead
With every word, they captivate
We blindly follow
Their trail like human sheep
Never awake, always asleep

Our journalistic masters command and we obey
Fall in line like lemmings that feed these birds of prey
Do as they say, not as they do, stop thinking on your own
Scream for more red meat while gnawing on the bone

So naïve
So easily deceived
So ignorant
Fall for all the tales they weave
They mislead
They speak and every word we heed
Hearing only what we think we need

We take the clickbait
Follow as they lead
With every word, they captivate
We blindly follow
Their trail like human sheep
Never awake, always asleep

9. Cosa del Pantano

[Instrumental]

10. Lunatic-Liar-Lord

Eaten alive by your own devotion
Cannibalized by your own beliefs
Faith derived by foolish notions
The afterlife is for the naïve

The treason of all reason
A celebration of ignorance
Bathing in the blood of the lamb
Is the murder of all innocence
Assimilation, compensation
A congregation to be ignored
Fall in line for your own demise
For your Lunatic-Liar-Lord

Religious weapons of mass destruction
A financial weapon for class warfare
Monetary need for reproduction
Cashing checks written in despair

The treason of all reason
A celebration of ignorance
Bathing in the blood of the lamb
Is the murder of all innocence
Assimilation, compensation
A congregation to be ignored
Fall in line for your own demise
For your Lunatic-Liar-Lord

Warring factions
More distractions
Whoring actions
To deceive and blind you
Their true mission
Their one condition
Their inquisition
To trap and bind you

The fear of science and the science of fear
Led to the slaughter by your Judas steer
Marked with blood and stained with pollution
Sell your soul for your own absolution
Wager that you'll find him waiting there
At the end of your days
Enter through the gates of heaven
In his name you praise
Come to find it's just a state of mind
It's a fairy tale
We all go to Hell

I sing this day a requiem
A funeral dirge to the war on Christ
The false prince of Bethlehem
Exposed as mankind's greatest heist

The treason of all reason
A celebration of ignorance
Bathing in the blood of the lamb
Is the murder of all innocence
Assimilation, compensation
A congregation to be ignored
Fall in line for your own demise
For your Lunatic-Liar-Lord

11. The Fires of Division

Divided what was once united
By ideology of hate
Incited till the two collided
Eagerly we take the bait
Drowning in a sea of lies
I feign no surprise at our fate
Consume all the shit they feed
Excrete it back on the plate

Stoking the fires of division
Burning our world away
Building the ire and derision
Freedom's just another word
For nothing left to lose
The lines are drawn between right and wrong
You only have to choose
This is our time
Our moment for mutiny
Give me death or liberty

Do you believe in everything you hear?
Believe everything you see?
Afraid of what you're told to fear
Cower from what is to be
Embers of society
Ashes of the nation
Will rain upon us all
And our crumbling foundation

Burning, no hope returning
Democracy set aflame
Churning, all peace adjourning
Willingly we play the game
Wallowing in a field of shit
From where I sit it's all the same
No strength until united
Proudly we hail our name

Stoking the fires of division
Burning our world away
Building the ire and derision
Freedom's just another word
For nothing left to lose
The lines are drawn between right and wrong
You only have to choose
This is our time
Our moment for mutiny
Give me death or liberty

12. Antiseed

Harvest day with a loaded mag
Human crops in a body bag
Machines of death under bloody flags
Plow the fields and fertilize
Plant the seeds and everything dies
Giving life only to the flies

Sow the bullets and nothing's left but the weeds
'Til the soil until the earth bleeds
The smell of mankind rotting on the vine
The season of decline

Plant the antiseed
Watch the death grow
The only way to feed
And make the blood flow
The reaping
Plow the fields of gore
Hear the weeping?
It's harvest time

Nothing grows on fallow hills
Seeds planted shallow still
In the end there's nothing left to kill
These roots won't fade away
They grow deeper every day
Destroying everything in play

Sow the bullets and nothing's left but the weeds
'Til the soil until the earth bleeds
The smell of mankind rotting on the vine
The season of decline

Plant the antiseed
Watch the death grow
The only way to feed
And make the blood flow
The reaping
Plow the fields of gore
Hear the weeping?
It's harvest time

Germinate it and bring it to the end
Cultivate the dying we attend
The antiseed spore brings death to us all
And we watch it all fall
