Unaccountable authority
To repress the minority.
Protectors of sanctity.
Glory in the intoxication,
Faithful sons of a great nation
Wield tools of subjugation.
Collective punishment.
You know what colors belong here
And the methods to inspire fear.
Terrorize the heart of a people.
Make sure they know who’s the most equal.
Secure the walls of the police state.
The best weapons are apathy and hate.
The struggle to survive
Under constant watch from a killer’s eyes.
What’s the value of a human life?
Subsisting on the edge of a knife.
Itchy trigger fingers.
Blood dries.
Horror lingers.
This rotten system
Claims its victims.
Twisting minds
To genocide.
Till the structure falls
With the prison walls,
Shredding the blue line.
Streets incarnadine.

Strange Death of Kings

A melancholic fog
Settles over your sight,
Draining color away
From this life.
Strange death of poets.
Strange death of kings.
Striving toward negative capability.
Strange death of poets.
Struck at your lowest.
Early demise strips away all you might have been.
Strange death of kings.
Moot longing for meaning.
Try to justify God’s ways to man.
Words fail you in your task.
A ghost at rest in the Tower of Song.
His sigh reverberates through eternity,
Awaiting a wall of commiseration.
The unacknowledged legislators of this world
Are overwhelmed and cut down in their prime.
Monarchs and saints alike join us in the soil.
No almighty Lord had a hand in creating this cesspool,
But some men should be held accountable.
Hoarding riches and destroying lives
With the arrogant glee of sadistic children.
This elaborate edifice made of cards, built on lies.
When it crashes down from beneath us,
Who will be dragged into the abyss?

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
