Closed Caskset Lyrics

‹‹ BACK to Black Army Jacket

Pathogen
Born to divide
Break out inside
Unseen intent
Unbidden event
Come together
To tear apart
Grow
Pull
Throw
Throw
Grow
Disagreement
Disinterment
Confused Issue
Vile Origin
Pathogen
Pathogen
Pathogen

Lord Of Murder
I hawk my prey with precision
I am the coldest level of inhumanity
A contract killer by trade
In an Italian suit and an icicle stare
Now your life is canceled
Your debt too high, now pay your life
I have it down to a science, no trace or mark left behind
In the underworld I am legend, my work known around the world
Criminal circles praise me, a hero to the sick
Educated in European schools
Intellectual without feeling
I always relax to the sounds of Cohen, Eno and Laibach
I am the lord of murder
A crown of souls I protect

Cup Of Many Lands
The water boils
As it used to
In my favorite place
Over the rim
Fade in/out (change in structure)
Syntax strike (mnemonic enhancer)
Walking stick (old catalyst)
Frontal lobe (hold the old tome)
Increase growth (but not too far)
Lasting imprint (layers taken away)
Out of the shell (empowered victim)
Camera’s final shot (savored to the last)
Stem distilled thoughts
Mixed with tinctures
Just the right amount
Readied for the task
Lost in though (lost everywhere)
Dictate response (uphold ideas)
Seeming different (like everyone else)
The water sublimates
As it always will
My favorite place
Is no longer!

Pugilistic Attitude
Curled up in a ball
Burnt to a crisp
Once part of a plan
But no longer
Life taken away
By your own hand

Lying Between the Tigris and the Euphrates
Some 5,000 years
A “city” stood fast there
Holding against wars
Glory, knowledge and strength
The possibilities are boundless
Where could they have gone, did they say?
The birth of so many things
Writing, tools and clay
One day I’ll go “back”
And find out the reasons
At least I might know
If they left their homeland
Nothing lasts forever
Descent into dark ages
Flee or fade away
Those gone I call kin
But for know you can call me the Sumerian

Beast
Acting only on impulse
Matters that are brutal
A creature of darker habits
Disposition vile
Inside fear and loathing
Outside maniacal control
Catch you unawares
Overpowering foe
My smile is so trusting
My teeth are so sharp
Open my hand to you
Crush you in my grip
Come into my parlor
Heard that one before
Come inside with your life
Then you’ll be no more
Collecting private trophies
For hideous display
Darkness is my alley
You I’ll rule this day
Human in appearance
A savage since my birth
You don’t know the difference
Your life now lost it’s worth
My smile is so trusting
My teeth are so sharp
Open my hand to you
Crush you in my grip
Come into my parlor
Heard that one before
Come inside with your life
Then you’ll be no more
Lower animal
Higher friend
This love is sickness
You can’t pretend
You sway
My way
It’s you
Mistake
The Life
You made
Undone
And gray
My smile is so trusting
My teeth are so sharp
Open my hand to you
Crush you in my grip
Come into my parlor
Heard that one before
Come inside with your life
Then you’ll be no more
No more!

S.O.C.M. (Single Obsessive Compulsive Male)
Heart of gold, heart of plague, palpitation
Blueprint for Republic films, no solution
Looking for the apparent, no control
But no tautology in the repertoire
Turning introspective
Cracked mirror pride, lazy hundred hours
Sandwich for your thoughts
Burning, minds to a crisp
Running out of breath
Having pockets of loss
Changing remaining the same
Watusi and the twist churning roots into fad
Monsters that fly or hide in the dark
But responsible
Eccentric me

Blood From A Stone
Why don’t you open your mouth?
Can’t defend yourself?
It’s like getting blood from a stone!

Galactus
Eater of worlds

222 Part II
The building showed the signs
The birthday gave the time
Three minds crossed paths in one room
I left the warehouse, but never the thought
Even words were mirrored
Journey to the center

Dog Teeth
Showing the world hate
Empassion fit of rage
Angry from the start
Children of the pained
Rise up/ and fight/ you hurt/ yourself
These minds are twisted
No more chance to reason
The pelt is raised
And the ire is soared
One chance/to live/ no hope/ to hide

Without Law
Deep, innate fearing of life
No esteem to guide you through
Witness things that can’t be done
Then run amok despite
Look at what you’ve wrought
Walk the path to find your home
The one who lead you now must leave
Decisions made without thought
Careful constructs deteriorate
There is no FREEDOM

….Sometimes….
Abandoned lots or lovely squats
We’re at any dirty place
Crusty rawk, blunted talk
We don’t need to see to play
Fetish here, bestiality
We provide the sex cult films
Halloween everyday
Jason Vorhees or suit and tie
Cause you know sometimes were Disassociate and other time
We are Diassoci-ATE!

Your Pitiful Existence
Existence of consumption
Capitialization of life in our blood
Visualize, materialize
You make me sick!

King of the Hill
I can’t see straight
My hands always shake
But I got your to trust me
Ha? Ha! Ha.

Night Drive
Buried in the ice
Left to fade away
But the best laid secrets
Are one day revealed

Crane
Looking for something to make you feel better
Trying to set yourself up as the nice guy
Lending a hand to those who are less fortunate
Don’t you feel so good about how it makes you look?
Then when you moved on into another era….
You forgot something that fell out of your hands
The people you tried to save fell by the way side
The cycle goes on forever, no one can change it
Don’t…You…. Know your thoughts are false
You self-aggrandize
Even the lowly
Have thoughts of their own.

Snort
Never tried it before
Never stopping from now on
Your unexamined life
Is not worth living!

Dantam
See the façade will it modify?
Surface rises it was no disguise
Vapid beauty can rarely progress
Journeys without giving it more thought
Adverse actions will now permeate
No more union that two can arrange
All I know is you will never change

Covered By Snow
Murdered in a wasteland
With no friends, no accounts
Who will pay for this crime?
Committed against a number
Will anyone find him?
It will be done too late
One way or another
The guilty will pay!
Closed network
No support
No back up
Left to die
Memory is saved
The trail left for keen eyes
Vengeful hearts
Is justice on their minds?
This won’t go unanswered
Think of how we’ll look
We will guarantee
An unending cycle of violence!

I’ve Lived On What I’ve Stolen and Hoped Inside A Lie
The tragedy of a young girl
Who made the wrong choice
She’s lying on her deathbed now
Regretting her mistakes
The theft! The Men! The Waste! The heroin!
She brought me here to tell me
Al of her darkest secrets
And she has but one request
Yes it’s her final one
She wants me close to her
Just for this one last time
I can’t believe this is real…
I knew her for a long time
Or so I thought
There’s so much to this person that was hidden from me
We were as close as two people can get
And now her secret’s out
Why didn’t I see?
Oh no it’s too late now
Her last words as she died,
“I’ve lived on what I’ve stolen and hoped inside a lie”

Slaves of Destruction
Release
Precursor to attack
Need to find the weakness
One that no one suspects
Watch it tear down resolve
Fate, hate, despair the way
Move in darkness
They hide
Execution devised
No awareness
Try to kill you
Serve their master
There’s no savior
Plagued by sorrow Cracked and
Cannot find them Decayed
Band of heroes Mind has
Lose one member Flayed
Take down one by one
Pawns are expendable
Here, cowards are strong
Their lives are not their own
Warped minds are controlled
Power will unfold
Enigma, behold
Shrug off
The cold’s effects
Wake up
The world’s in turmoil

I Heard…
I hear that the man is trying to keep us down
Taking our blood away
That’s what I heard…

Jaws
Hey, I’ve got a great idea
You on the left, show how much you love
And don’t be ashamed
You on the right
You’re so cool and cute
Share your good fortune with us won’t you?
Time to make
Up your mind
Subject #1 is sick now
And our next guest wants to
Move out of town
What would you do?
Looks like someone siphoned my friends
And no one cares about my neighbors
You took the bait

Genma
No way to
Explain the
Sickness found
Inside a mind older
Than any we’ve known before
Known before
Known before
Final war
Havoc spread
Over all
Existence
Crushing and moving on
Twisted, in love with death
Love with death
Love with death
Final breath

The Shake
A fight between two men
Sets off the destruction
As the city separates
Never be the same again
This is one time where the just are laid to waste
Stabbed right through the heart and thrown onto the ground
Now the conqueror will take his rest
Ten years to lie in wait serving his lord
The power will grow and his minions will thrive
A triumvirate of evil will protect his throne
The people of the city
Both living and dead
Must endure the pain of tremendous loss
Ten years go by
Descension ascension achieved
One by one
The minions are killed
Unknown enemies
Surface but never…
The son will take the task
As he’s been told
His father will join him for the final strike
Love is the light that smashes darkness

ALH84001
With all the wondrous things in life
Opportunities in the world
Potential to be actualized
The future remains at your grasp
All the hope
All the joy
All the knowledge
All the love
Limitless things you can learn
The greatest drive comes from inside
Even though you know all of that
You still can’t get yourself out of bed!

Palden Gyatso
“Hatred is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Supporting human rights gives you a bad family background.”
Unfortunately
Not in our lifetime
We still remember
And respect your faith
There was a time
Tibet was free
We will not fight
But we won’t give in
My name is Palden Gyatso
Imprisoned 33 years
Surviving all the torture
Won’t you hear my pleas?
Free my people

Make It Stop!
Make it stop!

Sudden Life
Using science
But no morals
We will create
Our own doom
Monsters and
Demons from within
Worse than we’ve
Ever imagined
Prey upon us
Force us out of our
Own niche
Out with the old
Transmutation
Cross-geneticism
Viral domination
Homo Sapien decline
We are in the last
10 seconds on
The calendar
Of all the time
Our impact
While sometimes great
Left some dents
We can’t repair
No escaping
Sudden life!

Parliament Of Rooks
A large group of men gathered in a field
They made a space in the middle for one to speak
The group watched patiently as they were told
The events of the day by a brash youngster
Chronicling
Babbling
Informing
And joking around
Then he paused for a little while
They knew what was coming
And the silence was deafening
The young man’s heart pounded
His blood pressure shot up
But his exterior was ever so cool
He told them a tale of his very own
And waited to see their reaction
He was beaten to death
They didn’t like his story

Fire In The Universe
Will we survive?
There is some hope
But some don’t believe
Disagree
Stacking the odds
Against the dreams
Empirical
Data achieves
There is a plan
Many in fact
Ulterior contingencies
Time takes away
All that is matter
Essence lives on
Thoughts transcend
Preserve Destroy
Robots Lifeless
Dimensions Empty
Space Ships Useless
Planets Too Far
A.I. Destruct
Spirit Nowhere
Effort
One day, we’ll have, no choice
But to die
Ideas, are in, place for
Failure
Destiny, offers, many
Ways to lose
Even, one can, control
Nothing of fate
Hope springs, always, for those
Fools among us
Untold, power, wisdom
May save the day
Centuries…millennia…aeons…

Imapstor
The sacred and the profane
Both fall in your domain
God loves, it’s man that kills
Both are inside you will
Hear now words of the truth
Figure what we will do
Eminence from above
Grants this power of “love”
How can I believe you?
Watching the flock, watching yourself
Seeing the money, pile into wealth
Healing the herd, renewing the faith
Curing your own wounds that poverty brings
Benedictions and bowed heads
Better see the floor where th earnings are left
The sacred and the profane
Both fall in your domain
I see through your disguise
Enough to recognize
More that one will be saved
When you’re exposed the next day

Make It Stop! Make It Stop!
They tell me to listen
To what they have to say
They give me guidance
When I’m all alone
One tells me to kill
The other says I must die
Sometimes I think
They torture animals to torture me
They’ve pointed in my direction
I’ve seen them change expression
But I swear to you
They are now on the move
They
Hate each other
But
They hate the rabbit worse
That’s why they keep killing him

Corpselawimage
I have the old tome
So said the liar
He got the copy
From an old thrift store
Nonextant
Don’t bother
Won’t believe
Don’t trust you
Now I will tell
What truly happened
It occurred to me
Inside of a dream
Frightening
What was real
I can’t tell
Anymore
But I challenge
You to show me
Real proof that it
Appeared that night
Fools on an endless crusade
To acquire power
Create some of the things
They wish to see
We sometimes neglect
In our search for mysteries
That there is no reasonable frame for them
It’s just a hoax
You were deceived
All like the rest
You can’t ascend
Now I will tell you
What truly happened
It occurred to me
Inside of a dream
Frightening
What was real
I can’t tell anymore
My name is secret
My secret is my name
It holds a fountain that
You will never drink from

Pretenders To The Throne
Lord of this world or
Lord of the block, no matter
I’ll take you down when you’ve grown long in the tooth
You try and fight, but it’s
No use at all, you move on
Can’t win against your surrogate prodigy
What will you do
After you die
And I hunt down your children
Behead and eat them all
You have two choices
Leave or be killed
Either way
Your whole family is mine
The king is dead
Long live the king
Pretenders to the throne
My black heart will reign

Look At What I Can Do!
Recognize your face
Speak aloud your name
Grasp things in my hand
Move about the place
Play with my new friends
Cry when the day ends
Laugh and never stop
Run until I drop
Work at some new goals
Search for the unknown
Aspire to new heights
Love is in my sight
Endless, endless
Everybody’s power
With determination
Is absolutely endless
Nothing, nothing
What stands in your way?
Walls can’t hold you back
Materials are nothing
Only, only
There is one main thing
That can bring you down
It is you only…
Decide, decide
The time is right now
Choose the proper path
Cause you can’t so anything
When you’re dead
Dead

Alpha Male
Lead the pack to triumph
Winning the affection
Saving the future
Alpha Male
First to kill when hunting
Providing the victuals
Finding hidden water
Alpha Male
Vanguard when attacking
Meeting any challenge
Planning for success
Alpha Male
Courting and deciding
Faithful to the end
Alpha Female and
Alpha Male
Roaming the wilderness
Always with courage
Struggle to improve
Another male will rise up
Put the aggressor down
Forgive one transgression
Business as usual
But he’ll be back for more
Not as forgiving
The usurper’s thrown out
Never to return
Show no mercy
To the victor
Go the spoils
In love and war
The Alpha Male rules!
It’s becoming harder
For the pack to survive
Against all odds
Fight for life
The true measure
Of survival
Will be seen
Years from now
The pack has disbanded
Each form a new order
At peace with each other
Tribes of blood
The mates still together
Leave for the last hunt
Say goodbye to the
Alpha Male

Salt
Three prime forces
Embodied as one
Vying for control
Combined power
Separate/distant
Shocking harmony
One creator
One creator
One preserver
One destroyer
One destroyer
One system that binds
One creator
One creator
One preserver
One destroyer
One destroyer
One system that binds

The Simplest Solution
My friend has a problem
Not sure what it is
He’s going to be examined
But I don’t know if he can be helped
Doctors provide some theories
Lawyers say he should sue
Herbalists give him garlic
Psychics don’t know what to do
D.I.D. man
Occam’s Razor
The solution
The ultimate plan

Greedy Bastard
Bill Florio battles Earth Crisis
Blow-up guitars
Thrown by Artie Phillie
Karl’s afraid at ABC No Rio
Bugout Society plays
White Castle burgers are flung
Earth Crisis flees in terror
Back to Syracuse they go!

Fortune Cookie (hidden bonus track)
What great luck I have
I wnet to WoHop’s today
From a cookie
My fortune read,
“You will be surrounded by friends”
Now, I have three friends anyway
But several more can’t hurt
Who knows what good fortune they’ll bring
I can’t wait to have it all
If I lift some stuff from dad
I can afford to buy new things
That’s probably how this magic works
I just have to prime it a little
And my job won’t miss a few goods
Think of the “H” I can buy
Add some girls to share the dope with
I don’t wanna be alone when I’m high…
But a funny thing happened
One the way to the rest of my life
The three good friends I spoke of
Lead the way to the end of my strife
Tom was leaving his girl’s house
But her husband’s gun kept him there
Dick left town with his loan
His body was found medium rare
Harry robbed a liquor store
Crashed and was split in two
So now you know my story
And I see that my fortune came true
The O.D. was too much for me
That’s the message I send
That’s me in the middle of the graveyard
Surrounded…by friends.
