Deth Kult Social Club
On the might of kings and captains
On the eyes of midnight watchmen
I know my hatred is perfect
For the culprit who deserves it
Dead meat against your broken bones
Thrown in a ditch to die alone
But there is no dream worth pursuing
When there is nobody embracing
And there is no war worth fighting
When there is no blood worth spilling
On the might of kings and captains
On the eyes of midnight watchmen
I know my hatred is perfect
For the culprit who deserves it
Dead meat against your broken bones
Thrown in a ditch to die alone
But there is no dream worth pursuing
When there is nobody embracing
And there is no war worth fighting
When there is no blood worth spilling
I know my hatred is pure for the new recruit
(one, two, three, go!)
Imposters on the fast track
To public execution
Beggars for mercy unite
But your pleas are ineffective
And if you ever come back
Beautiful incarnation
I'll lie down at your feet and
Accept my punishment
You better save yourself
You better save yourself
You better save yourself
But there is no dream worth pursuing
When there is nobody embracing
And there is no war worth fighting
When there is no blood worth spilling
There is no dream worth pursuing
When there is nobody embracing
And there is no war worth fighting
When there is no blood worth spilling
On The Offensive
Elementary eavesdropper
There are things you cannot comprehend
Did you want a kiss did you want a flower in your fist
Or was it all just make pretend
I'll follow you until the end
I'll follow
Burning down your home
Burning down
Just to rebuild it again
Burning down
I will never steal from you
Burning down
Or any of your friends
Burning down
Adolescent eavesdropper
There are things you wish you could forget
So you start to weep and
You start to drink yourself to sleep
And you only kiss your cigarette
But don’t we all feel sick to death
Or do we
Burning down your home
Burning down
Just to rebuild it again
Burning down
I'll never steal from you
Burning down
Or any of your friends
Burning down
You shower me with gifts
They don’t fix it
I'm no purchase bastard
Fuck up tell me right now
If you find me on the offensive
For the first time help out
Tell me right now
Are you happy
How can you be
Are you happy
With me
You’re an adult eavesdropper
And by now the roles have been reversed
And you inflict the shit
You hated as a kid
There is only one way to break this curse
Burning down your home
Burning down
Just to rebuild build it again
Burning down
I would never steal from your
Burning down
Or any of your friends burning down
Recounts And Recollections
This is a progression
And you would prefer
The obsolete so leave
Expired make room for shorter teeth
You caught me
Sucking and feeling sorry
But this boy this boy has everything
This boy this boy has everything he needs
So give yourself over to time and decay
Caged by the freeway
This is a progression
And you would prefer
The obsolete so leave
So give yourself over to time (and decay, and decay)
Give yourself over
A worse negation of live than death is that
You'll never want what you get
But failing is just as sweet as success.
I've tried them both and have no preference
So open your eyelid, scan the horizon
Pick a direction and
Don't stop driving
Recounts and recollections,
Arguments and objections
Make a connection, open your eyelid
scan the horizon
Waking to dream with the brave and defiant
So give yourself over to time and decay
Caged by the freeway
This is a progression
And you would prefer
The obsolete so leave
So give yourself over to time (and decay, and decay)
Give yourself over
My self-motivation
This scar, this badge of honor
My self-motivation
This scar, this badge of honor
My self-motivation
This scar, this badge of honor
My self-motivation
This scar, this badge of honor
Daylight Slaving
Steam rising and spiraling then vanish in the wind
I cant tell where the land ends and the sky begins
Are you acquainted with the threat of being killed?
Or are you conversing with pigeons on the windowsill?
Every battle has been fought
And everything I think was thought
Down we, down we've descended
Every day keeps getting shorter
As my sleeves start getting longer
And the sidewalks overflow
So we patronize pedestrians
With no sense of direction
When you're lost and can't ask a question
Steam rising and spiraling then vanish in the wind
I cant tell where the land ends and the sky begins
This city truly is assaulting my senses
Unkempt, unruly, devour, defenseless
Occupant. If Poverty builds up character,
And spoils breed arrogance,
I'd rather consort with the low and the decadent
Every battle has been fought
And everything I think was thought
Down we, down we've descended
Every day keeps getting shorter
As my sleeves start getting longer
And the sidewalks overflow
So we patronize pedestrians
With no sense of direction
When you're lost and can't ask a question
You'd better have the strength
Of the wandering aimless
With an audience
Of the most prestigious
Do you have to strain
To love the one you came with?
I hope you have the strength
Because we're in the belly of...
Every battle has been fought
And everything I think was thought
Down we, down we've descended
Every day keeps getting shorter
As my sleeves start getting longer
And the sidewalks overflow
So we patronize pedestrians
With no sense of direction
When you're lost and can't ask a question
Delusions Of Grandeur
Pressing on about our business
Comfort is getting too expensive
Hot-shots for the pigeons with a death sentence
You're something like a pistol
That's been polished bright
But if it never leaves the holster
It can never save your life
I need a meaning I can get behind
A better message to subscribe to
Set sun I'm an hour older
Mile markers punctuate the shoulder
Harboring delusions of grandeur
You're something like a canvas
That's been stretched and primed
You could become something priceless
Or you could be a waste of time
I need a meaning I can get behind
A better message to subscribe to
This is the best time to be alive
If you consider where complaining gets you
We're living much too
We're living much too comfortably for me
Keep drifting, keep drifting aimlessly
Stay with me
And we'll stay busy
On endless trips to anywhere
To end up where we'll be
I need a meaning I can get behind
A better message to subscribe to
This is the best time to be alive
If you consider where complaining gets you
Sensory Deprivation Adventure
On your honor let me explain my behavior
On your honor I swear I was trying to savor
Who's the liar, Who's the killer?
You know I was doing a favor
When I fell upon her by way of a merciful murder
With every warning you wonder
Don't have to tell the truth
Just keep remaining mute
And I'll still think for my owner
Yes I know what I've done, and what I'm going to do
No weakness, no weak miss
Don't buckle under the pressure
A servant, a serf saint
For all those who suffer
Were caught in a current
Of confusion
But what's been suggested
And what has been proven
With every warning you wonder
Don't have to tell the truth
Just keep remaining mute
And I'll still think for my owner
Yes I know what I've done, and what I'm going to do
I am only what you made me
Now I am a reflection of your wealth
And if you think, you think you hate me now
You only hate yourself.
With every warning you wonder
Don't have to tell the truth
Just keep remaining mute
And I'll still think for my owner
Yes I know what I've done, and what I'm going to do
Everything I Need
I have everything I need
Innocent victims
They don't exist
Who told you this?
Outfit the nation with a blindfold
And a crucifix
Infinite wisdom
A bullet for the pacifist
Improving methods to cripple the populace
In keeping up with the font stampede
I have a choice I could keep retreating
Out I let it run me run me right into the ground
In keeping up with the font stampede
I have a choice I could keep retreating
Out I let it run me run me right into the ground
I have everything I need
We have no knowledge of
Cause and Effect
Our fathers left behind
The ugliest inheritance
Innocent victim
Its every kid who has a wish
Oh God you're in for the
Greatest disappointment
In keeping up with the font stampede
I have a choice I could keep retreating
Out I let it run me run me right into the ground
In keeping up with the font stampede
I have a choice I could keep retreating
Out I let it run me run me right into the ground
I let it trample me
I let it trample me
I let it trample me
I have everything I need
I have everything I need
I have everything I need
I have everything I need
Underpass Tutorial
This monument to the matron
Quick change of mood when you came in
A nervous introduction
Then we can for invincible alliance
Your growing fond of deception
All the things you forget to mention
And every indiscretion pushes me further away
Desperate, do you ever grow tired of begging
I know I know id rather live with nothing
Negative maybe but I've been working on it
Progress just moves so slowly
We are growing more and more distant
We are growing more and more distant
Miss model mess hit the pavement
Young debutante formed a habit
Measures that may seem drastic
Whatever makes you feel accepted
But I'm going south for the season
With nothing but a paper back companion
And mine is the only opinion with which I'll have to agree
Desperate, do you ever grow tired of begging
I know I know id rather live with nothing
Negative, maybe but I've been working on it
Progress just moves so slowly
Each and every under pass that bears the declaration
Of a dated love affair
And the number of Satan
I was educated there by the commuter station
The burdens you're bearing with
Threaten to break the back
Of the widow that weeps when she wakes
We growing more and more distant
We are growing more and more
Desperate, do you ever grow tired of begging
I know I know id rather live with nothing
Negative, maybe but I've been working on it
Progress just moves so slowly
Love It Or Left It
These are the keys to a pulse that I've been monitoring
She loves to dream but dreamers chase and never obtain
A victory, a vicious hand on a violent streak
Learn to run, I'll never be right for anyone
The more it gets suggested
The more I'm uninterested
Strength for now, nothing later
Love it or leave it
Hated and left it
Trying to outgrow that phase
I'm drifting further away from my element
These are the keys to open minds and to empathy
She loves to dream it's better than her reality
A victory I'm not as old as I used to be
I will not run today is the day the wheels are back on the motorarcade
The more it gets suggested
The more I'm uninterested
Strength for now, nothing later
Love it or leave it
Hated and left it
Trying to outgrow that phase
All of my ammunition
Is for the wrong weapon
I've got the worse intention
No question, no question
To keep it inoffensive
General admission
For when you feel protected
I'll make you regret it
Love it or leave it
Hated and left it
Trying to outgrow that phase
Love it or leave it
Hated and left it
Trying to outgrow that phase
Travel
Next time we walk down to the docks
While welcoming the morning sun
We'll share rations of bread with
Drifters and deceivers
Know I only see this hour after
Evenings of infamy
There are thousands of you like me
And you'll be so so sorry
When you start to hate the sound of laughter
Grinding your teeth down to powder
How rewarding is it
Just to be alive we could have residence
In the worst prison
That happens when you die and have
No friends to carry caskets in the saddest procession
Those people often say they're sorry
When your soul departs
But they recover oh so quick
There are thousands of you like me
And you'll be so so sorry
When you start to hate the sound of laughter
Grinding your teeth down to powder
There are thousands of you like me
And you'll be so so sorry
when you start to hate the sound of laughter
Grinding your teeth down to powder
A Goats In Sheeps Rosary
A coarse exhalation of lungs that pray for pity
My two fingers punching the keys diligently
Trembling ground pushed my glass off the table
Spilling the blood of the son of your idol
If it were not for the extensive bug collection
I would know not what Ive found
This world would still be flat
Mary would be a virgin
And I would still be sleeping sound
If every word is a dead symbol empowered by the carriers expression
I'll bury my instrument citing this incident
I'm a flickering bulb that keeps blaming the filament
The most honest telling of this boyish fable
Is that on level ground
I'm never feeling stable
Ive got to try to outlast this candle
Or trust department to fight the inferno
If it were not for this extensive bug collection
I would know not what I've found
This world would still be flat
Mary would be a virgin
And I would still be sleeping sound
Its an endless quest to maintain
When no one is ever right
And out of the fertile plains
We bathe in the fractured rays of
Sun sunlight sun sunlight
And if it were not for this extensive bug collection
I would know not what I've found
This world would still be flat
And Mary would still be a virgin
I would still be sleeping sound
They say this country was based
Hard work and integrity
And whats been done
That’s a lie
It was built on murder man
Mayhem
Slavery
Oppression
Lies
Stealing
And tyranny
As a baseline
Pioneers
Dismiss the telegram
This is no exhibition
A pile of papers that are bound and tethered
We know the end of man
Will stem from stale tradition
Relaying opinions changing like the weather
And this will never be
And this will never be reversed, an installation
Sending an open invitation
To all the pioneers
Driven by suspicion
The old world is gone
And we keep wishing
For a new frontier to sink our teeth in
And forget what you thought you believed in
The plans we execute
Are far between and few
But I'll go around the world
Just for something to do
Existence is fleeting
You spend your life dreaming
The shores are exhausted, the tide is receding
And this will never be (never be)
And this will never be reversed, an installation
Sending an open invitation
To all the pioneers
Driven by suspicion
The old world is gone
And we keep wishing
For a new frontier to sink our teeth in
And forget what you thought you believed in
And those who resisted were dragged out from their homes
This necklace was fashioned out of their teeth and bones
And those who resisted were dragged out from their homes
This necklace was fashioned out of their teeth and bones
Out of their teeth and bones
To all the pioneers
Driven by suspicion
The old world is gone
And we keep wishing
For a new frontier to sink our teeth in
And forget what you thought you believed in
Existence is fleeting...
Existence is fleeting...
Existence is fleeting...
Existence is fleeting...
