6 billion and 1 revolutions of Mother Earth around her Sun Spawn the creation of the chosen one Exposed for fun, the foul, dark demeanour of his people Callous, crass, ass, confounding to the sheeple Evil is simply not strong enough to describe it Amoral immortal, chortles as the fleas do not realize it A cacophony of laughs, cries and screams Ripped the fabric of reality right at its seams Something wicked this way comes As 1000 African drums beat the shit out of the foolish dumb-dumbs So hum-drum and sullen from their lack of stimulation Stricken by fear, here lies the root of all foul hating Every nation has its class of social misfits Untouchables, unless you take a trip on Captain Morgan's ship So come along as we set sail for greatness Short-lived, as all souls are doomed to be weightless All the beasts are burdened by their work here on this ball of dust All the beasts are burdened by their work here in the deep blue sea All the beasts are burdened by their need to fill their hunger and lust All the beasts are burdened by their need to impress you and me Now follow me, follow me down this path famous for slaughter Seeking stardome, by fucking idiot daughters Whose vaginal regions possess such great power They can reduce even the most arrogant pricks to April showers But no flowers grow on soil that's fallow Just as no one toils on the day that is hallow How can these simpletons still praise a being Whose being is merely a tool to meant to keep them from seeing The truth, well, let's not go that far Because even the stars are not where it seems they are Interesting how that which shines the light Is more misleading than the shadows lying deep within the night Makes you wonder, what exactly are these scenes we see Dancing on this lense which spans all of infinity Perhaps we are nothing more than puppets on a stage For the Eye to judge with its omnipotent gaze All the beasts are burdened by their work here on this ball of dust All the beasts are burdened by their work here in the deep blue sea All the beasts are burdened by their need to fill their hunger and lust All the beasts are burdened by their need to impress you and me

Good morning world, it's time for the news Time to scew your views with the powers we abuse Ooze onto airways with a cavalcade of fiction A dapper smile and oh, so proper diction Now, something sad happened someplace Another runner seems to have dropped dead in the human race A murder occured sometime, somewhere But I really don't care (you can't say that on the air) Er, I mean, it's tragic indeed A plane crashed, hopes dashed at the bottom of seas Mother Nature killed thousands in an ill temper And speaking of which, it's time for the weather We predict the sun, but don't be surprised by rain Sleet, snow, cats, dogs, tsunamis, hurricanes Something crazy is happening in the Phillipines But we want you to keep watching, tune in again at 3 (Disasters) Hurricanes reaking havoc across the shores (Disasters) Earthquakes engulfing cities until nothing's more (Disasters) Volcanoes erupting, scorched the entire bay But your city will not be remembered like the great Pompeii (Disasters) Policticians pouring poison in the wells (Disasters) You don't have to die to witness scenes from Hell (Disasters) All you have to do is turn on your TV These are not cartoons, show the viewers their reality Good afternoon globe, we're the carriers of proof Troubadors of justice, of freedom and of truth Well, at least as far as you know tards (Quit that friggin' jabberin', just stick to the que cards) Anyway, somebody dropped a bomb on another church The perpetrators claimed they didn't think the blasted thing would work Did you know that some places still have beheadings (Don't really care, just tell me about the king and queen's wedding) The neighbors claim his murdering spree was a surprise Said our eye-witnesses, he was a normal man like all you guys Now he's a madman, dangerous and on the loose But, hey, look a distraction, the latest celebrity pooch Isn't cute, so fluffy and cuddly Makes you forget all about us stealing your money (This just in) Somebody found the stairway to Heaven But our time's up, tune in again at eleven (Disasters) Hurricanes reaking havoc across the shores (Disasters) Earthquakes engulfing cities until nothing's more (Disasters) Volcanoes erupting, scorched the entire bay But your city will not be remembered like the great Pompeii (Disasters) Policticians pouring poison in the wells (Disasters) You don't have to die to witness scenes from Hell (Disasters) All you have to do is turn on your TV These are not cartoons, show the viewers their reality Good night planet, time for the facts you've all been waiting for Every man is safe from that awful, wretched, wicked war Just be sure you stay safe in your box Turn on your home security and check all the locks The government said that it needs a skeleton key To every home, trust them, they say it's for your own safety Tracking you through your phone, some say that it's scary But hey, look at all these apps on the latest blackberry Cool right, yea, it's pretty dope Hey look, another terrorist is hanging by the rope That means there's nothing more to be afraid of right Wrong, there are always things to fear, otherwise what'd be our entertainment tonight The world's coming to an end, we're all going to die Oh yea, that stairway to Heaven thing, it was a lie If you're watching this you're about as smart as the pot I piss in (Eh, just let him say what he wants, their still gonna listen) (Disasters) Hurricanes reaking havoc across the shores (Disasters) Earthquakes engulfing cities until nothing's more (Disasters) Volcanoes erupting, scorched the entire bay But your city will not be remembered like the great Pompeii (Disasters) Policticians pouring poison in the wells (Disasters) You don't have to die to witness scenes from Hell (Disasters) All you have to do is turn on your TV These are not cartoons, show the viewers their reality

Hold on motherfucker, why you in my jurisdiction Little miscreant, trying to cause friction Hmm, you lack proper diction Have we met before, so familiar is your description You remind me of the man in this sketch Dark-skinned bastard, yea we haven't caught him yet He's responsible for every crime in the book We keep incarcerating darkies, but we still haven't caught the crook But don't worry, justice will be served Now, put your hands behind your head and lay down on the curb What, you have an alibi, man don't even lie Spread your cheeks and lift your sack, keep your eyes up to the sky Checks and balances? What of checks and balances The way you niggers bounce checks, how d'you even know what balance is See this badge, there's no way for you to challenge this Chalk it up as another of life's challenges

the vultures 03:18
Mmm, delicious, blood sweet and viscous Ain't got no dishes, flesh so nutricious The best part is the crunch of the bone Snap, crack the dome, what a wonderful tone I've been circling for days Let it marinate in waste as the Sun starts to bake I hate to wait, but cannot make haste Or else it won't sate, one must savor the taste Skin and tendons, organs and sinew Nails, hair, eyeballs and muscular tissue Inhale the scent of the veil But not too long, or maggots are a serious issue Another succulent feast Chicken and beef turned to carrion meat Remnants of a life turned wrong Now, time to wait until the next one's gone Welcome Death's arrival, so long another rival Naturale fatale, so I ain't liable One more victim of strife Life; a risky game played with fickle dice He paid the ultimate price A little extra time would be nice Hit the pavement when he hit hard times Resigned, but now that fresh coat's all mine In time he'll be forgotten Somebody, now stiff and rotten Important, man he's just boring And his fortune is probably ill-gotten I could have taken him anyday Anyway, let's sit and hear what the reverend say After this, let's grab a bottle of gin Don't worry about cash, the drinks are on him

Serendipity, it happened inexplicably It seemed to be that you and me were just simply meant to meet What circumstance lead to romance, I cannot say for certain But the son of Venus' glance perceived a chance to put some work in (It seems that destiny has taken a hand) It was just another ordinary day The Sun was shining bright upon the children as they run and play Everything in my world was going fine Until (Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world she walks into mine) She was wearing a dress made out of vinyl threads Each footstep that she took I heard the scratching of the needles head Her movements were oh so fluent, but broken, like my bleeding heart Some people cut a rug, but this lady, she tore the floor apart Her face, a work of art, graphed to perfection A complexion the likes of which could teach Da Vinci a lesson And such a voice she had Her every word a melody that charmed each wicked beast and even made lord Hades sad It was love at first written, smitten with every curve Of every vowel and consenant, constantly striking every nerve Possessed of beauty the likes of which makes most men think Such thoughts, the likes of which couldn't help but make my pen ink Our time together was poetry Got me jonesing like a fiend for that next line, a psalm, etched in my rosary Hopelessly lost in each element of your nature My mind, body and soul sing the praises of your creator But love's not meant to last, when intervenes the twisted queen She rules the world so ruthlessly, jealously, in her dress of green So tempting her allure and such promises doth she send my way That no longer can I recall the beauty of that fated day And so, my wallet begging me, I'm off to forge my life anew To make my dreams come true, my love, I must bid you adieu I move in to take my final kiss But she pulls away and asks, (But what about us? We'll always have Paris)

This is disjunction junction (what's your malfunction???) Too much stimulation and mass consumption (What's the function???) Mass sedation Like fuck creating, just keep on remaking Replacing, reanimating, reincantating The Mona Lisa’s old and needs repainting Innovator’s, we hate them Until they die, then their art’s the work of great men Is this the work of Satan? No yo Just a bunch of lazy so so’s who don’t know Guess that’s the way it goes though Either change with the times, or up and fold joe Otherwise you in slow-mo and can’t grow Mad, because wack ass cats is on the stereo But that’s the way of the globe, oh Just go with the flow, or suffer damage to your frontal lobe   This is disjunction junction (what's your malfunction???) 16 years of school, but I ain't learn nothing (How's that function???) Keep them blind To the Truth, so they can't read between the lines (Uh, what the fuck is reading???) Some old-school bullshit that you ain’t needing Because the internet is teeming With food for thought, I just don’t know if it’s worth eating But ignorance is in this season, believe him You ain’t getting no cheeks just because you read, damn So go and put that book back on the shelf Knowledge is incongruent with penile health Keep it to yourself, and play dumb If you want those hoes to give you some, son Because everybody need num-nums And you ain’t getting no nookie playing dungeons & dragons   This is disjunction junction (what's your malfunction???) The world's gone mad, begging for destruction (That don't function...) But hey, what the Hell???

The bells, which toll for the entire Imperium For so many years we was fearing them But didn’t do a damn thing to keep them from nearing, kin Oh, you mean the revolts were always alive? My apologies, I guess they simply weren’t televised I thought that was just a Facebook ad A silly trend, a funny joke, a passing whim, another fad

There's no need to introduce myself (why) because you already know the deal Most malicious machinist, making moves, moving steel America, the irrefutable king of beasts Fighting for truth, justice and that last thing uhh (peace) Oh...is that what this was all about I mean, so what's the problem if I earn myself a little clout Oh...I'm running out of money Well at least I still have more guns than any other country Just what is justice I believe that justice just is having the biggest muskets You disagree, fine, have it your way Operator, (hello) connect me to Guantanamo Bay Some say my methods are unhealthy Well, health's a luxury meant only for the wealthy Get off my back, yea we have problems, this is evident It's time for a change, maybe a spanish president The land of the free, home of the braves Land of equality, built upon the backs of the slaves Home to applepie, baseball, the A-bomb You'll see a bomb if you even think I'm wrong (America) Better than these other nations Taking control of all locations Evil-doers beware of the things you do You can't escape red, white and blue You know why, I am America Oh say can you see what I'm doing to you Instigate madness, then tell you it's cool America, we didn't really throw off the chains We just replaced them with flashing lights on tv screens Don't mean to inconvenience you, but I must though Because we can't go letting those shackles rust, yo Information can't be free, that's a fopa So I had to wash the internet clean with SOPA Oh god, my time is running out again Some nonsensical rebel thinks he can preach against my whims I can't allow that, he caught the principles' attention Now I have to put him in indefinite detention Oh well, school isn't learning him anyway Just another cog in this mechanical menagerie Sorry, silly, foolish little people Jeez dude, you didn't really think that we was equals

Have you ever felt alone I don't mean chilling by yourself, waiting to hear the ring of the phone I mean cold, your soul possessed with sorrow So you can't even pretend that you wish to see tomorrow And the darkness is your only friend Because darkness is all you can count on in the end It doesn't even matter, yo what a shame As the pendulum swings, time bids farewell to your name Wondering was it in vein, but can't tell Because current circumstances done got you stranded in Hell Fire and brimstone, smoke and ashes Really like you falling prey to the shit of the masses Bastards, trying to hold you back from what you believe Impede your tracks and steal away the air you breath Have you lost your mate, trying to find the ark??? While the clouds up above cry tears from the heart... Have you lost sight of your goals??? (You are not alone!!!) Are you walking on burning coals??? (You are not alone!!!) Have these pages cut you, getting caught in the fold??? While the plot of your story gets shot full of holes... I sat and had a talk with God He didn't speak, but in that silence said all I needed to hear There are no words that can rid your mind of fear Just travel through the fog and know that it will soon be clear Because courage isn't the absence of fear, au contrair It's the will to act despite the fact fear is there So go along mon frere Knowing inaction is the only way yo can err I hear a story once, about a stupid dunce Who had the world at his fingertips He had but to utter one word, yea it sounds absurd But listen to these symbols from my lips He was a nerd, up against a neuro-typical herd But he still found himself on top But he was so used to defeat, the sorry bastard lost the will to compete And his number one status dropped Have you lost your mate, trying to find the ark??? While the clouds up above cry tears from the heart... Have you lost sight of your goals??? (You are not alone!!!) Are you walking on burning coals??? (You are not alone!!!) Have these pages cut you, getting caught in the fold??? While the plot of your story gets shot full of holes... Get it together boy (or girl), whatever the case may be I been seeing too many things that I should not see Like a teen, with a child, doing drugs, acting wild Gets mad at her mom for helping her with the baby Say can you see, the end is coming (the End of Days???) I don't mean scenarios of thievery, people crying, screaming and running I mean a scene of greenery, a scene that needs to be Seen repeatedly upon each magazine and computer screen No I do not have a dream, I have a idea for reality And I will defend this vision up until the end When all the thoughts have been drained from out this pen Master of wisdom, practice eternal zen So come along with me, follow me down these twisting paths At which so many critics laugh so hollow, callous, glib and crass But all that matters is who gets the last And who will be remembered when the as the sand falls from the hourglass
