Lost my faith in justice Time does not heal this pain Defiled my existence Recurring nightmare There's no consolation The awful memories Constant mind coercion Instinctive vengeance I have nothing left to loose now Only time, regret and anger Pain to last a hundred lifetimes Hatred burning, love extinct Compound insult of bullshit humanism Misplaced rights, inflame my rage Vacant cause, offender the victim Fuck that worthless piece of shit As long as you live on this earth Rage unsatisfied Memories dishonored Retribution!!! Giving hardened criminals Preferential treatment Settlement, live in prison Better than you deserve Jury of your peers, unable to do the job Obliged by procedure, evidence examination Now I'm coming for you, there will be no mistrial Citizen retaliation, the mode of your demise Moral speculation, some other poor bastard's life The system has fucked up, left this hollow void There will be no comfort, this sickness is terminal Semblance of justice, infuriating lies Lies arquitted, guilt answered, you will not escape Cold, my revenge and my blood Hate, nothing can stop it now Death, the only end I accept Hell, punishment I require Curse, execrate, I must kill Pain, I inflict merciless Scream, piercing cries, agony You should have pled guilty or killed yourself Unshakable conviction, is all I have to live for Excruciating terror, the violations you delight in Useless human excrement, you deserve a life of shit Make you suffer ruthlessness, I cannot relinquish the honor Soul I condemn, fucking dead Nothing will ever be made right again The path of damnation I hasten you on my way Every day you lived from then is one more day you owe me If killing you destroys myself, I wouldn't have it any other way Fine line between honor and horror, my every action justified Innocence destroyed, needs anguish to cleanse impurity Temporary insanity, obeys a singular purpose Your death row is here and now, the only righteous ending Die and die again, as I cut and mutilate You are fucking worthless, I don't give a fuck about you Blood your insides spayed, placates my hostility End my days a killer, stripped of everything that mattered

The thrust of fascist war campaigns Inspire my will to disobey Adversary to the end Wielding all the wrath of hell Rattling your diminutive saber Jeopardizing sovereignty Power trip of the smallest power We can always use a new war Peaceful religious tolerance Ends in frightening violence Every plot we uncover Fuels the fire of our hatred Exploitation, attrition Ignoble death, hostile enmity Owed far worse than what will befall Real life bleeds the loser dry Coming to crush your domination Next life, not the one you expected Crap religious politics brought me Guilt-free murder, my reward Dismantling the old ways, enslaving the opposition Better than the justice they deserve, feeding frenzy mayhem Life or death, survival, the rest is all bullshit Delight in the kills I make along the way Dead religious fascists, mutilated terrorists Butchering thousands, genocide, annihilation I am Armageddon, the bringer of death Decades of stalemate, coming to an end Patience long gone, miscalculated tolerance You fucked up, a fight you cannot finish Begging to die, stupidity will kill you Natural order, second-class citizens Given to slavery, inflame my predatory instincts Chosen way of life, rejects of civilization Troublesome cancer, posed for elimination Militants on our own soil, burned away to maintain order Nothing to prevent us from killing foreign extremists Violent dissidents we butcher and incinerate Lowest on the food chain, they deserve to be slaughtered Killing for a living Fuck your fucking politics Something you did brought me here Praying for war Die by my hand Hardened by hate, mindless attacks There is no god helping you now Matter of time, you will fall When a nation can't keep it's shit together We will always be called to exterminate enemy factions No question, this must be done Plenty of reasons to fuck them up Atrocious mayhem. conspicuous danger Ruthless people deserve what they get Who gives a fuck what happens to them Satisfaction, multiplied revenge Condemn your squandered soul

Criminal justice system of flaws Blatant corruption Repercussions, higher profit An addiction The obvious signs of guilt Sloppy investigation A bullshit fucking plea Engineered process Mishandled evidence unpreserved Fabricated vindication Diligence only an illusion Mitigated, facade of lies Inundated and ingrained, relentless conditioning Media, legislation, selling a bent truth sensation Gorging on the spectacle, "reality" TV Victims of exploitation, selling out the children Celebrity and power, attract public bias Fortitude in decay, swollen avarice Pedophiles, molesters, murderers set free When they fail to win, the case falls to settlement Exposing private perversions, humiliation and disgrace Destroyed credibility, scamming on both sides Spending millions to save face, and escape consequence Attempt to evoke sympathy, inflating reasonable doubt Lobbyist entitlement, litigation bondage Egocentric apathy, fraudulent at heart Judicial prejudice, preferential treatment Witnesses of falsehood, conviction overturned Humiliation, concealment and deception Overexposure of the feeding frenzy The inspiration to rape the system Fallen morals, unanswered capital crimes Circus of reporting, playing up the tragedy Tainted media opinion, too blind to know the truth Singular pursuit of profit, seeing what they want to see Public speculation, slanted sympathies Tied up in the costly litigation Overwhelm the prosecution Truth obscured with stall tactic motions Trite protection of the guilty Rats on the grift, indecent intention Fighting for acquittal and vulgar fame Quota of scapegoats and distractions Nonexistent fear of authority Suffering... Unending... Travesty... Prejudice... Ignorance... Vanity... Gold-digging legal battles Symptom of a lawsuit-crazy nation Semblance of due diligence Devious manipulation and omissions Law enforcement countermanded, weakness of the state Fucking sheep with bleeding hearts, for no noble cause No remorse for the victims, preying on the uninformed Who is held accountable, spectacle of greed Idiots bringing suit, no matter how absurd Fabricated testimony, power twisted justice Public interest in the freak show illustrates the sickness Privileges of exception, turns to bought freedom Inundated and ingrained, motions of brute force Legal rights disintegration, disappearing privacy Gorging on the spectacle, "reality" TV Failure of the system, no guilty, but no innocent Celebrity and power, attract public bias Setting a precedent, tainting the future Pedophiles, molesters, freed upon society Murderers let loose to find their next victim

Faces the generation reduced to vacant stares Heads filled with TV static, buying its shallow lies Jaded passionless whores, raping the desires of all Dark intentions luring, false sense of security I protect this sickness, as I watch in disdain Their disease I guard This bastardized American dream State sponsored psychosis, burned in mass consumption Every gallon wasted Is ten more soldiers I must kill Symptoms of consumption Appetite for self-destruction Free thought extinguished Reign of dull complacency Compulsive over-indulgence Media-trained responses Policy accommodations Enraging our enemies Incompetence facilitates attacks on native soil Misdirection, weak responses, future wars encouraged [SOLO: Gallagher] Refusal to resist the conditioning Calculated flaws build dependency Shallow fulfillment, relentless pursuit The emptiness will never be satisfied Culture of corpulence, overextended Inflated existence, perpetuating conquest Worldwide deployment to maintain control Quelling backlashes of outrage Fighting the next face of terror Prepared for each new conflict You might as well submit
