VICIOUS RUMORS LYRICS

1. Concussion Protocol

The concentrated pain is real
And cannot be denied
It hurts so bad, the fragments shatter
About to lose your mind

The future’s past will all collide
Your memory plays while your body starts to die
Your mind rejects, there’s no control
A mass infection for all, you are dismissed

Concussion Protocol established
Relax, release, accept the lavish succumb
Concussion Protocol assumes
Your god’s creatures will surely be consumed

The future’s past will all collide
Your memory plays while your body starts to die
Your mind rejects, there’s no control
The protocol to never say goodbye

Cries for redemption fall on deaf ears
Father forgive me for all your sins
Alone at last now the time has come
The shadow is free from the broken sun
When the final protection is stripped away
And all that you know has made you afraid
When the blood moon rise for the very last time
The protocol to never say goodbye

Concussion Protocol enforced
Relax, release, accept the lavish succumb
Concussion Protocol control
Your god’s creatures will surely pay the toll

2. Chemical Slaves

Laying face down in a pool of excuses, struck down
Now that we have you you won’t even know it, knocked out

One more makes it worthwhile
Ten more you’re right in style
Fifteen they’ll be your best friend
Twenty the walking dead

Chemical slave, Chemical slave
The island gets smaller with every pulse
Chemical slave, in a mind insane
The water’s on fire
Chemical slave, Chemical slave
Walk with me to the abyss
Chemical slave in a toxic grave
The water’s on fire the world’s inside out

Now in the depths deep down below
Blood is a venom
Your killer instinct has been subdued
Wrestle the redrum

Six months your skin melts away
Twelve months your face rearranged
Five years you won’t know your name
Ten years end of the game

3. Victims Of A Digital World

You dwell inside a plastic god
Intertwined the password’s locked
Fortified you feel strong
As long as you have a charge
You’re still logged on

Mindful only on the screen
Never more to be seen
No reason left to say a word

Victims of a digital world
Lost without connection
Victims of a cynical world
It’s a human resurrection

Victims of a digital world
Lost without connection
Victims of a cynical world
It’s a human resurrection

Enter, control
We’ve hacked into desire
Delete, replace
What’s left of human thought

Dissolve the soul with the holy pad
Download the dreams that you used to have

4. Chasing The Priest

Welcome here
Won't you come inside
A stained glass temple
The house of lies

If the new mask fits
And becomes your face
You'll pay with your flesh
While jesus saved

Chasing the priest
Chasing the priest
Took over the lake
We took off the leash
Don't knock on my door
We're chasing the priest
Chasing the priest
Chasing the priest
Don't knock on my door
With your book of the weak
Chasing the priest
We're chasing the priest

Organs grinding
A little boy hurt
We looked for the priest
By the edge of the woods
The angels are singing

Holy water and empty words
Locked up tight and so secure
Pay your way to the other side
Just to see you got left behind

We surrounded the church
We came in and had a good laugh
Their ground will never be my earth
Their lies were not my truth

Chasing the priest
Chasing the priest
Took over the lake
We took off the leash
Don't knock on my door
We're chasing the priest
Chasing the priest
Chasing the priest
Don't knock on my door
With your book of the weak
Chasing the priest
We're chasing the priest

Feel at ease with the cash we take
A life was saved with the fee you paid
We stood tall and surround the lake
Gather around and deplete their strength

Chasing the priest
Chasing the priest
Took over the lake
We took off the leash
Don't knock on my door
We're chasing the priest

5. Last Of Our Kind

If you’re gonna do it, do it right
If you’re gonna do it, make it tight
If you’re gonna go, go all the way
If you’re gonna go you better start today

Cause we’re the last of our kind
We’ve seen it all and left the rest behind
We’re the last of our kind
And when we’re gone let a new day shine

It’s lonely, it’s rebellious
Where there’s anger we have a home
Contagious, it’s evasive
Where there’s excess we’re not alone

You don’t know who I am
I don’t need your approval
You don’t know the blackest of times
I don’t need your approval
I don’t need your approval

You don’t know who I am
I don’t need your approval
We are who we are so never mind
I don’t need your approval

6. 1000 Years

Voices of the wicked laminate their faith
A spearhead revival underneath their caves
In the core we find, unearthed a city lost
Corpse of a dying world still remains

Fire, light, a thousand souls have been let out
Fire, accept, a thousand years of battle deaths

Black church screams from the top of the altar
We looked in between its reflections in water
House of war gods, tribute to man
A thousand years of blood soaked lands

Fire, light, a thousand souls have been let out
Fire, accept, a thousand years of battle deaths

The sinister sun couldn’t warm up the altar
The monument froze over
A stage to celebrate in all her awe
A concert played for a thousand more

Light it up, light it up
A concert played for a thousand more
Light it up, light it up

Echoes of the lessons on the walls she insists
Fall as her prey deep inside her crypt
Flocks always come, just trying to look in
The art she withheld seeing on the horizon

7. Circle Of Secrets

He threads the needle thru a slovenly hand
Lacing its life together again
Words it relied on tangled his body
The message consigned

Brain dead players in the dome
Played by a mortal god
Underneath the dome, the circle of secrets expands
All that’s proven here is the truth’s been stripped away

He threads the needle binding the words of hope
Now the next intertwines, the word passes on
It replaced the stolen truth
Once two minds just two bodies expanding their range
As control narrows down, and the line adds up

Brain dead players in the dome
Played by a mortal god
Underneath the dome
The circle of secrets is coming again
A circle of secrets expands
Just enough to bleed

As the last laces its life to the first, completing the circle
The laughter of a man pulling strings
Drowns in assenting murmur
Accepting the lie to overcome fear
Without lifting a finger, he now lifts them all
The circle of secrets completed

8. Take It Or Leave It

Pushing – we go no further
Desperately out of time
An offer is made with one side in mind
Won’t you sign on the dotted line
Pushing for more with a blade at your throat
They shout in your ear

Take it or leave it or take it
Or leave it alone
Take it or leave it or take it
Make it your own
Take it or leave it or take it
Get out of my way
Take it or leave it or take it
But do it today

Tempted beyond desire
Asked to sell your self short
No one can walk on water
No one even comes close
It’s over we’re thru
This is the only deal for you

A blade so sharp
To cut out your tongue
Twisting my words
When I talk to you
The deal is made
The bitch is in heat
Listen to me
Cause I’m talking to you

9. Bastards

Bastards

I’m not a compromise
I’m just fine on my own
Don’t need you company
I feel good alone

I don’t need a church to tell me what to do
You don’t need to try to twist my point of view

Bastards with a masterplan
Not meant for you to understand
Hey, it’s no secret what I want to do
There’s just no way in hell
I’m gonna tell you

Bastards

I don’t need attitude
I’ll obliterate this place
Don’t need your hesitation
I can see it in your face

I don’t need a star to tell me what to do
You don’t need to try to twist my point of view

10. Every Blessing Is A Curse

Left with a threat the looms overhead
Alternatives to an early death
Make a choice on your own behalf
To rely on a blessing is so fucking sad
I ask for no blessing the thought makes me sick
I’ll take it all on. I’ll dig my own pit

Every blessing’s a curse
The one from you was the worst
Everything from your mouth
Start’s in hell and heads south

Every blessing’s a curse
Every blessing’s a curse
So I’ll make my way first
Every cure has a cost
If you survive from the loss

Don’t fear what’s above
And the fantasy they speak of
Don’t fear what’s above
And the fantasy the dream of

11. Life For A Life

Life for a life
You want mine
But I took yours
Eye for an eye
Forgiveness lost, the hurt remains
Enough left for all

Life for a life
Why should it be left to chance
Eye for an eye
Why should you be relevant
Relevant at all

Revenge has no time for lies
Forgiveness lost, nowhere to hide
There’s no justice in justification
Where’s the pleasure in this state

Day for a day
Time is only running out
Night for a night
Survive exist to be shut down

What if only time exists
And all you are has fallen
What if only sand is left
And all you are has fallen
What if there is nothing left
All there is… is emptiness

12. Death Bed Razor
