1.THE SILENT MAJORITY
Music by Suffer The Destroyer, Lyrics by J. Margaritis
What if the lies, the corruption
Are central in preserving
The beauty outside our windows?
What if escaping the political cave means we cannot ever come back?
Should we accept the way things are?
Or take a most dangerous risk and seek more?
As the questions will not answer themselves
The pieces lay detached
Beneath the screams of the victims subject thereof
The pieces lay detached
And this mechanic place keeps moving without needing charge
The screams of the bleeding, suffering go unheard
The cogito claims to know, to grasp that which cannot be known
Information comes from the kings that select and rule
Control!
You will take my hand
You don’t know where we’ll go
But the air is thick
And we must breathe on
Breathe on
We will breathe on
The pieces lay detatched
Will they be left alone?

2. HAIRTRIGGER
Music by Suffer The Destroyer, Lyrics by J. Margaritis
From the passions I derive an idea
Like a parasite it determines me
(If) I am idealist
Always contradict
My conjured metaphysic
Defining who I am
Birthing the absurd
Collapsing on me like a neutron star
In the…
End
I watch in disgust
While you play-out your dumb show
How miserable our reason
I ask my self why you exist
If there ever there was appeal
It never went deep enough
I don’t have to like this place
(I resent you)
To find my peace
First-rate hope, faith, Prozac, indoctrinate
And we regress perpetually
No matter the outcome
I’ll die laughing in the end
I’d fight for you
Yet I don’t know you
And you’re like me
You’re like me.
A stranger to myself
A stranger to all else

3. EMPTY
Music by Suffer The Destroyer, Lyrics by J. Margaritis
Is there ever reconciliation?
Reconciliation
Cultural, religious, philosophic, ethnic divide
Through which we clash in absurd contradictions
Submitting our blood
(We are divisive)
Gazing out
Across the sparkling waters
Looking for your smiling face
You said you’d be there
I see nothing but empty space
(So much for righteousness)
Is an empty politic, all there is to take?
Is an empty politic, all there is to take?
Is an empty politic, all there is to take?
Is an empty politic, all there is to...take?
And we fall
Yearning for “oneness”
Over again and again
We can’t prevail
Because we can’t transcend
As we are slaves
To ourselves
Who are strangers
To each other... and all else
Reproducing, eco-deadly, burning, feeding, controlling, desperate
In which we clash in absurd contradictions
Always divisive
Gazing out
Across the sparkling waters
I can’t see any fucking thing…
But empty space
Space
Space
No reconciling empty space

4. ICONOCLAST
Music by Suffer The Destroyer, Lyrics by J. Margaritis
If I cannot open my eyes
I’ll burn holes in my eyelids
So I may stare down the sun
I’ll stare down the sun
For so long I’m subdued
By false pretenses
And so I’m never home
I’m never home
God is dead
And we have killed him
You have nothing to offer
When your sense of justice is by nature offense
God is dead
And we have killed
We will begin to see
Yet, it seems, you will continue to speak
God is dead
And we have killed him
Reject the walls
Rebel, negate
Or we’ll be stuck in this place
Without having known ourselves
You’re the one who out of piety looks
To make yourself and everyone else miserable
Christian, Hindu, Jew, Mullah
Clerical man, do you know what happiness is?
I submit this
Reject the walls
Rebel, negate
Or we’ll be stuck in this place
Without having known ourselves
To be perfectly honest
I don’t know your name
But I still know you
And I reap you
I fucking reap you

5. PLANET CRUSHER
Music by Suffer The Destroyer, Lyrics by A. Guinn
Reaching out from the beginning of time
Bridging gaps between what is
And what we thought we'd never find
To fill the void that we felt in our hearts
Communication was our error from the start
Transmissions intercepted by the cosmic despoiler
Visions of a corrupt race seen by the eyes of billions
Retribution dealt by the hand of one
Unleashed from the portal to the gods
A plague of unrivaled cosmic power
Discharged from the inter-dimensional gateway
A shock wave of death floods the earth
The world prepares to suffer the wrath
Of a most formidable destroyer
Destroyer

6. LUMINARY
Music by Suffer The Destroyer, Lyrics by A. Guinn
It is perfectly obvious
My whole world has gone to hell
A thousand suns have burst, blinding the trinity
The sky lit blood red after the shock wave hit
There was no splendor, the mighty had fallen
A thousand suns have burst, the mighty have fallen
You have become death to me, we created our downfall
You have become death to me, you are my downfall
My world has been destroyed, the light burns my eyes
A heat so intense, you have become my biggest mistake
The project was a "success"
But do you feel you've succeeded?
If you planned to make the future a war zone
It worked
If you planned to make my future a war zone
It worked
WE KNEW THE WORLD WOULD NOT BE THE SAME
