He that is without sin cast the first stone and crack his fucking skull.
Is there anyone here willing to catch the ball?
Hey rich boy, you’re the plague that walks the earth.
I’d like to watch you burn with all your wealth.
You’re such a fraud, keep passing the ball like it’s never your fault.
You stand on hollow ground, your actions betray your words.
You stand on hollow ground, you want the world to change but you won’t change yourself.
Never willing to change, yet you always blame the whole fucking world if something stays the same.
Hey rich girl, you’re a curse upon this dying world.
There’s nothing real anymore, nothing real.
Misanthropic partyboy, I’m no better than you, I’m the worst.
I like to drink, I like to fuck, my lazy conscience is a dead whore, I’m the worst.
You’re such a fraud, keep passing the ball like you’re never the cause.
You stand on hollow ground, your actions betray your words.
You stand on hollow ground, you want the world to change but you won’t change.

Let's Dance, God Is Dead

The circus is in town and I got the best seat.
The clowns, the freaks and the giant squid.
Their moral code, their war for peace, all smoke and mirrors, it’s not what it seems.
I don’t care if they’re white, black, yellow or green.
They all bleed red and they all run on greed.
Death is their bread, blood is their wine. So many to kill, so little time.
Immoral scum, corrupted pigs, nice suits and ties don’t make you clean.
Cut down these rotten trees, burn the forest down, spread better seeds.
I want their heads on pikes for the crows to pick and the entire kingdom to see.
And don’t tell me I’m wrong.
I’ve seen them all and they all built the wall.
I travelled the world and the seven seas and the horrors I’ve seen can’t be unseen.
And I’ve seen the gates, I’ve walked through the Garden of Eden and stared at the tree of life as it was burned to the ground.
I stoned a man wearing a crown of thorns.
And I’ve seen Mary crying tears of blood and Eve riding the serpent.
I snorted the forbidden fruits and drowned myself in the fountain of youth.
And then I turned my attention to Him, the father of lies, creator of sin.
And I saw the truth, the ugly truth, there is no evil but me and you.
And the more I think about it, the more I doubt we were meant to be.
We murderers, cancer of the earth, how could we possibly deserve to live in peace when all we do is killing each other for power like fools?
We’re a product of hate, a glorious mistake.
Look what we’ve done with the place.
A genocide without end, let’s burn and flood the last piece of land.
Like germs we spread, cancerous cells.
The more money we make, the more money we spend.
No trust, no love, alcohol and drugs to fill the void.
No god to preach, no light to seek.
We’re fucking disgusting, we weren’t meant to be.
I won’t be sorry when you’re dead. I won’t be sorry, you’ll be dead.
I won’t be sorry when you’re dead. I won’t be sorry, you’ll be dead.
I won’t be sorry when you’re dead. I won’t be sorry, you’ll be dead.
I won’t be sorry when you’re dead. Let’s dance, god is dead.
No answer, no meaning, not even a reason.
No truth, no fiction, life’s a lie, a temporary illusion.
No purpose, no sense to find, no afterlife.
We’re all alone in this life and we all die clueless.

And for the millionth time, I broke the pledge.
Another wild Friday night, but I swear it’s going to change.
I swear, this time it’s real.
I’m done with blow and booze.
From here on out, I’m going straight.
Living a life bored to death.
Intoxicated; numbing the pain.
Pick your poison, think it out.
Just remember, it’s OK not to choose.
And for the millionth time, I broke the pledge.
Another wild Wednesday night, but I swear it’s going to change.
I swear, this time it’s real.
I’m done with blow and booze.
From here on out, I’m going straight.
Just because giving up is an option, don’t you make it your choice.
Living a life bored to death.
Intoxicated; denying the feeling.
Pick your poison, choose wisely.
And don’t you ever forget, you are the choices you make.
I tried to fight, but I did it again.
So I’m back in the game, pick your poison and drown the fucking pain.

Jump off the bridge and I’ll jump with you, I don’t fucking care.
I’m stuck at the crossroads, I’m going nowhere.
Full speed backwards, but facing ahead.
You up there, give me a proof, a solution, a reason to care.
Show me the truth, the true meaning of life.
Give me the strength to change, obliterate each and every aspect of my former impure existence and show me the way.
Build a cage around me, shut down the lights and throw away the key.
For if you imprison me I cannot stray.
You down there, send me a message, a sign, a vision to share.
Empty my head and feed me lies.
Seduce me with guidance and fuck me with threats, I’ll kneel down and swallow every word you spit.
Enlighten me with your presence, make me blind.
Sew my eyes shut, drill my brain, cut off my tongue and tie my hands.
I’d rather be safe than free.
Let me die in your holy war so I can spend eternity with your god.
Listen to my prayers and tell me you give a fuck.
Face to the wall, what lies beyond?
No one knows and you shouldn’t care.
Face to the wall, turn around and face the world that surrounds you.
THIS is hell, we can’t afford wasting time with stone age books and fairy tales.

Is time accelerating?
Hours, days, seasons and years spent trying to catch my breath.
Head below the surface, arms raised to the sky, eyes empty, lungs filled with blood.
Mind filled with poisonous thoughts, all-consuming thoughts.
Eternally lost in the eye of the storm.
Internally lost, and never to be found.
So long, I’ve been waiting for the day to come, for the seed to sprout, for the light to shine, for the storm to strike, for the tide to rise and swallow me whole.
Still running in circles, day after day after night after night, wasting time.
Forever wandering in the dark corners of my masochistic mind.
Lost in time, eternally lost.
I’ve tried to find my way through the darkness, but failed.
I’ve tried to find my way through the darkness, but failed.
I’ve tried to find my way, but failed.
I feel it closing in, make it stop!!

I do not come in peace.
And from the flames, I shall rise again.
My reign will come, I break free from the mold.
Exalt the darkness within, rise above.
Fear the monster I’ve become, the great opposition, the embodiment of blasphemy.
From rebellion to dominance, I’ll bring your god to its knees.
You killed the man, now face the beast.
I left a slave, came back a king.
I’ll take your precious crown and sit on your throne.
I left a sheep, came back a wolf.
To the traitor who threw me down into the pit, I bowed before you once, this pledge I renounce.
With the blood I was born into, I’ll desecrate your work, I’ll paint this world.
You killed the man, now face the beast.
I left a slave, came back a king.
I’ll take your precious crown and sit on your throne.
I left a sheep, came back a wolf.
I break out of my former self, fear me now.

They’re the ones who pull the strings and put thoughts in your head.
They are the crooks who run the Fed.
They come as your friends, promise you peace and kill you instead.
They take your land and give you death.
They corrupt the weak, silence the brave and put it all to rest.
They cut all the trees, poison the seas while holding their breath.
They spread diseases and sell the cures and control your health.
They build more jails where there should be schools and pretend to help.
They got enough to feed the poor but choose to throw bombs at them.
They are the crooks who own the Press.
The more they earn, the more they change and not for the best.
They raise the cost to keep you in debt.
And when they fall, bullets will rain and blood will be shed.

‘’Oh, you look great!’’
They say there’s no obscurity, only an absence of light.
What if there is no death, only an absence of life?
I look at your profile and know I’m right.
Barbie and Ken living the fucking dream.
You replaced the noise with comforting silence.
You came and brought light where there was only darkness.
The heart pumps blood to the lungs but the soul is dead.
Now show me the exit door and let me fucking rot in pieces.
Fuck you, eat shit.
Get off your high horse, all we do is for sexual rewards.
We’re alien monkeys with clothes on a rotating space-ball and there’s no fate involved.
Tormentors, sufferers, it’s only a matter of circumstances.
You’ll be Jerry, I’ll be Tom.
But deep down, we both know, you know, I know, none of us are what they pretend to be.
ACKNOWLEDGE ME! To lead and set the rules or ACKNOWLEDGE ME! to burn with the rest of the crowd, it all comes down to ACKNOWLEDGE ME! who dominate who. After all, even the ACKNOWLEDGE ME! nicest people want you to cry at their funerals. ACKNOWLEDGE ME!
Nothing is what it seems. And btw, your face, I like that shit.

Finally, life spent in a mental cage.
One final hit, then we hit the stage.
The walk of shame, same shit every waking day.
Can’t turn the page, can’t bear the pain.
Life is great, the dream is dead.
No rest in hell, here comes yet another day.
The sun will rise and shine, and the dead still won’t stay in bed.
The final straight, come down and show me your face.
Better leave than catch the plague.
Fuck you and go in peace.
A blank expression, corrupted soul, torn apart.
My head is full of ghosts, a killer who never killed.
A walking corpse, dead king on a pale horse.
He’s a sick man, a killer who never killed.
My thoughts are coming true, all hell breaks loose.
No rest in hell, here comes yet another day.
The sun will rise and shine, and the dead still won’t stay in bed.
The final straight, come down and show me your face.
Better leave than catch the plague.
Fuck you, now go in peace.
Can’t walk in bright daylight, I’ll wait for the night. 3, 4 lines of coke, then me, Jack and Molly hit the road.
Can’t walk in bright daylight, I’ll wait for the night.
Good solid rope, all dressed up and ready to go.

Loverboy

This house, our house, crumbles under the weight of the secrets and lies it carry.
They say love is blind.
Oh darling, or is it that you close your eyes?
The heart can choke the mind when all its blood flows back onto itself.
Oh darling, light of my life, what about the blood in your mouth?
Forgive me, even though you’re the one to blame.
Want me, why don’t you see how special I am?
Love me, don’t you know I hurt because I care?
Fear me, swear to god you’ll never leave him again.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And don’t you know all I do is for the children and you?
Oh sweet love, don’t you know only God can judge himself?
Don’t you dare doubt the man that provides for yourself, you ungrateful bitch?!
Forgive me, oh forgive me dear, for I’m about to beat the shit out of you.
Love me, don’t you know I hurt because I care?
Fear me, swear to god you’ll never leave him again.
You’ll never leave me again.

All We Love We Leave Behind
by Converge
What is there to say... this is Converge man! This album is so powerful and made me go back to their whole discography once again.

They are killing it on stage! Their sound is powerful, the music brutal and not happy at all. Definitely worth your time!

Such a refreshing sound by elites from Converge and Cave In. And their cover art are simply perfect. So much energy comes out of this music I can power my car with it!
