OXIDANT LYRICS

1. Intro

[Instrumental]

2. The General

On your knees before the state
Obey the outfit, not the man
Force reigns supreme
Guns equal power
Blood soaked caskets never seen before
American exceptionalism buried today
Thank you for your service
Thank God for your service
Submit to the nation State
Submit to the warfare State
Thank you for your service
Thank God for your service.

3. M.I.P.

I kill
I hate
I kill
Racist serial killer
Joseph Chistopher
Preyed on blacks
In 1981
Murdered in public
Cut out hearts
35 years on, little has changed.
I kill
I hate
I kill
I hate

4. Guillotine

You flee your homes
An oncoming storm
You drive away
Into the unknown
Left behind
The victims of your greed
Ready to die
Burned alive
Just as they were before
Nothing inside
Upon a throne
You demand their heads
Until the day
You are alone
Left behind
The victims of your greed
Ready to die
Burned alive
Just as they were before
Nothing inside
Behind a wall
Hidden from the view
The lie you built
Rules all that you once knew
The storm remains
Trapping all those within
You had the privilege to leave
But what about them?

5. Jail Lord

Left for death, on day one
You voted for what I'd become
School to prison, a life ripped from my home
The Jail Lord commands, and you will obey
Motherless in a system that doesn't care
Without a net, they fall into despair
Trampled, dismantled by a swift baton to the head
The Jail Lord will see to your early decay
I've made no choice in this
My life is not my own
Tell my visitor
I was dead on arrival

6. Third Crack

Slashing whip in the form of currency
Treatment based on pure nationality
Under the table, you never have to see me
Blamed for all crimes, in times of despair
Everyone falls for the hateful charade
Modern day slaves, trapped in a queue
They keep this empire above the ground.
If I fall down, two more rise

7. Peaceful Protest

Ask your oppressor for permission
To fight back for your rights
Only peaceful protests
Media is complicit

8. Pressure Build

I'm just a cat meow meow
Leaving my home for the first time
What's this tree
Can I climb it
Pressure build
Got stuck in a drain
Can't get out
Too anxious, I miss the couch
Where's blankets, where's my food
Too anxious, I miss the couch
Pressure build

9. Intercom

Voice in my head
Can't be wrong
The bill is due
And you can't run

10. Water Will Rise

Incoming tide
Death won't subside
Factory of hate
Implodes on itself
Animals trapped alone unable to defend
Nature's onslaught enabled by men
Water will rise, but gluttons survive

11. Brick Layer

[Lyrics by Husker Du]

12. Deconstruct

Once a friend is now the traitor
Can't forgive, but can he mend?
Crossing the line, 100 times
Said he would change
But it all was a lie
Nothing's the same
When the music betrays
Now at my age
I won't defend
You won't be the same
If you're welcomed back
