Reliquary
06:03
|
|
||
Verse 1:
You see me as anointed
You think too high of me
I'm broken off into a million pieces
To promote your Holy See
A phony holy object
Another thorny crown
A Shroud of Turin
Hides the truth from within
That you always put me down
Prechorus:
Drowned in your Yangtze
And told that it is the Somme
I won't be your reliquary
In your twisted Notre Dame
Chorus 1:
Reliquary
Put up on display
Reliquary
Don't wanna be this way
Verse 2:
You put me up behind glass
A station of the cross
Resuming your trek
With me on your neck
Another albatross
You want to create a god
So why did you choose me
Just cut the worship
'Cause it's all bullshit
I'm no reliquary
Prechorus
Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
I will not be your idol
(Reliquary)
To be put up on your pedestal
(Reliquary)
To become one of your false saints
(Reliquary)
To become everything I ain't
Repeat Chorus 2
Verse 1
Prechorus
Chorus 1(x2)

The Janitor
05:04
|
|
||
Verse 1:
I see the great divide
Growing ever wider each and every day
Extremes growing more in size
Bringing civil war and more hypocrisy
There's me, standing here alone
As you spread the dirt and shit all over me
My mop is caked with your filth
I give up with you. You're not worth it to me
Bridge:
Always waiting for some janitor to come
To clean up the messes made by all you bums
Chorus:
(You fucked it up)
With all your lies
(You fucked it up)
And brought this world into distress
(You fucked it up)
And blackened out the skies
(You fucked it up)
And I am sick of cleaning up this mess
Verse 2:
Black bile all over the earth
Acidic words of hate will make us extinct
Nuclear vomit burn away nature
I won't clean it up. You do it yourselves
Bridge
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus
(You fucked it up)(x4)
And I am sick cleaning up your mess

Verse 1:
I was a little kid
I played a lot of video games
I wanted to be a game designer
I read Sonic the Hedgehog comic books
Chorus:
I'm an outsider
I am a loner
I'm an outsider
Someone notice me
Verse 2:
I was an adolescent
I drew stupid comics about stick men
I made fun of Bush 43 in college
I played extreme metal at the campus radio station
Chorus
Verse 3:
I am now an adult
I make music few listen to
I ended up in a psych ward
My comic in college was called Psych Ward
Chorus
End Verse:
Rock over Milwaukee
Rock on Burlington
Jolly Good: we put the pop in Wisconsin

Kiss the Girl
03:31
|
|
||
Kiss the girl
You know she likes you
Make your move
Before you regret it
Kiss the girl
What are you waiting for
Make your move
Before she finds somebody new
I know that you are quite so shy
And the words are stuck inside your head
Hold her close and tell her "I love you"
Or you'll never even get to have the chance again
Pretty eyes
They're staring at you
Moving close
Your heart is thumping more
Pretty eyes
She's touching your hand
Moving close
I think that she wants to kiss you
Why am I telling this to you
Because I think you already know
I tell you this through a mirrored glass
Because the one that I'm telling all of this to is me

Chorus:
Reggae is my Jah(x2)
Verse 1:
Jah riddim makin' I feel whole
It bring calmness to da soul
Play da music of Kingston
Da light of Jah is on I face
No dogma here in dis space
Wit da earth I am one
Chorus
Verse 2:
And tho' I skin reflect in da sun
Got da spirit of da Yellowman
Eek-A-Mouse and Aswad too
I love da roots and dancehall
Patois, one-drop, and response-call
And payin' dub its due

Elektroshock Rock
05:13
|
|
||
Verse 1:
I have gone off-end
I have lost my way
I don't know where I
Will go today
It's all falling down
My sanity
Save me from this world
Give me clarity
Bring it to my ear
Bring me the sound
I have lost my mind
I wish to be found
Clear my anger now
Give me inner peace
Cleanse out my soul
Let the darkness cease
Chorus:
Elektroshock Rock
Music therapy
Ground my thoughts now
Give me sanity
Verse 2:
Stuck inside my head
Trapped inside myself
I was screaming out
And I needed help
Get me out of Hell
Help me now to see
My mind's clouded up
I want to be free!
Chorus

Multidimensional
13:31
|
|
||
Part 1:
Instrumental
Part 2:
Multidimensional(x2)
Hidden
In plain
Sight
Creatures
That shun
The light
Changing the frequency
Of our reality
Opens our eyes to see
Electric signals go right to the brain
And make up what's known of the earth
The quantum mechanics all sound quite insane
And reduces all of life's worth
A quantum computer can change what we are
Create a Mandala Effect
The calculations have gone way too far
A multiverse architect
Multidimensional(x2)
Part 3:
All of spacetime
It's in a sequence with the prime
Universe, there's more than one
Theory of the simulation
Waves decode the surrounding flames
To interact with this video game
Schrödinger's caveat
When we were searching for his damn cat
Was not to bug it with the string
Now look at the horrors we bring
Unseen extradimensionals
Hidden creatures are plentiful
Time, width, length and height
Beyond that causes humans a fright
'Cause they don't know how to respond
When seeing horrors from beyond
Colors out of time and space
Unknown world and unknown place
Ultraviolet, infrared
We can see them. Are we dead?
Sight, sound, touch and scent
Natural laws have become bent
Hear the message told by the string
Tell the theory of everything
Feel the vibe of the frequency
Unearth all of the secrecy
Visions of the monster's face
As it wipes out the human race
Supermassive Black Hole Star
Craps out waste through a quasar
Never know what the hell's inside
Nothing enters comes out alive
See it now through clarity
A quantum singularity
In the multiverse, if this one ends
There's another just around the bend
All the universe is gone
I await a rising dawn
Locked the door, threw out the key
As I leave reality
Part 4:
Instrumental

Carissa's Light
06:05
|
|
||
Verse 1:
Is there an end to this misery
A light at the end of the tunnel road
You left this world before me
'Cause you couldn't take the load
That load that is on me now
As I fall further in the abyss
And I wonder if light's shining down
Will I ever climb out of this
Chorus:
As I stare into the light
I wonder where it will now go
As it shines into my eyes
Will I die and still have my soul
Verse 2:
Carissa's death, it pained me
And it helped bring me to a new low
It killed what's left of the heart in me
The darkness, it still grows
Chorus
Verse 3:
A light to illuminate this sphere
Of possibilities

Babylon Machine
08:07
|
|

Here come da lion, comin' on da scene
Witnessin' destruction by de Babylon Machine
We see da phony leader on da screens dey lie
Oppressin' over you and over I & I
Flamethrowers burnin' down da forests of green
To replace with dere technocratic nightmare machines
Da world need a savior. It needs a scion
To bring da human race to da mountains of Zion
Machines of war turn everyting in sight
Into a technological cancerous blight
Babylon Machine flyin' high in da sky
Destroyin' da beauty of Ras Tafari
Great exploitation makin' I sick
Turnin' a wide-eye child into a cynic
Babylon spinnin' all of dere false tales
But de people on de ground are pullin' de veil
Da veil of Maya has been pulled from your eyes
Now ya get to see da lord of da flies
Babylon Machine hostin' a human zoo
Run by a demon. His name is Pazuzu
He want to put humans into slavery
Injectin' dem wit' nanotechnology
He want to create de ultimate schism
Get his cyborgs to march to da martial riddims
Focusin' now, here on ground zero
De rise of da Rasta superhero
His name is Ras and he will bring peace
He da second coming of Haile Selassie
Pazuzu still wanna swallow us whole
His cyberganja will eat at your soul
Ras and Pazuzu, da battle's begun
De unholy bells of da machine have rung
Cyberganja, cloned from da seed
Babylon calls it da legal weed
Ras had seen it destroy Jamaica
It's an abomination and a blight on Jah
Pazuzu infected it wit' nanobots
If one didn't ingest it den dey were shot
Ras had seen what it done to his town
Now da Babylon Machine is goin' down
Pazuzu's propaganda deep fake machine
Creates all da messages da zombies believe
Ras gained his power from da lion's heart
His spirit stay grounded, can't be torn apart
Ras wants humanity to wake up and see
And only den will humans be finally free
Ras has come because dey need to be saved
'Cause da Babylon Machine always needs new slaves
Babylon Machine launchin' da first strike
Pazuzu appear, he come on da mike
"Surrender, you fool. Isn't it quite clear
I de Archon of Powah, I de Archon of Fear"
But Ras, he not afraid. His strength only grows
Got da powah of Jah behind all of his blows
And now we celebrate all ya girls and boys
'Cause da Babylon Machine has been destroyed
Machine has fallen and da towers fall
No more of Laibach, it time for de dancehall
And Ras, like Moses, have to clean up dis mess
And lead all of his children tru de Exodus
Ras leads dem tru da deserted plain
He's hopin' dat dey don't all go insane
But at da very end, praise be to da lion
Ras and his people have all found Zion

Omega
06:12
|
|
||
Verse 1:
Acid rain falls
Upon the grain
Pockmark the earth
Leaving a blood stain
Electric grid
It shorted out
Savagery rise
Of that there is no doubt
Chaos coming here to destroy the earth
Bringing technology down to the dirt
There is nowhere for any to hide
Extinction's coming, the turning of the tide
Chorus:
Finalé
Armageddon
Apocalypse
Revelation
This is what's coming
Just 'round the bend
This is Omega
This is the end
Verse 2:
Fires of Ice
Rise up from Hell
Freezerburned land
Little here still dwells
Humans are dead
End of feature
Begin new reel
New dominant creature
Natural selection taking its course
The new creature cannot be any worse
After all, the way humanity died
Was a massive global suicide
Chorus

Drink Wisconsinbly
04:01
|
|
||
Verse 1:
I'm drivin' past the Culver's
That is right down Mayfair Road
I'm lookin' for a tavern
That will lighten up my load
I'm lookin' to drink Leine's
Or even a Spotted Cow
Frank's Power Plant to the Ale House
I wanna drink right now
Chorus:
Oh, the preacher man, he once told me that drinking is a sin
And that might be true everywhere except for Wisconsin
There's a bar on every street corner in the town of Burlington
There's a bar next to a church. It's our religion
Verse 2:
I'm stumblin' from Tichigan
To the outskirts of Green Bay
From near the border of Iowa
To the town of Allouez
I won't stop my drinkin'
Unless I am declared dead
The wonders of the Dairy State
To be among cheeseheads
Chorus
Bridge:
I am so bloody drunk!
I can now no longer see!
That is just what happens when you drink Wisconsinbly!
Chorus
