THE SUFFERING (2020) - Lyrics

1. WASTE OF LIFE

Turn on the lights
and watch all the roaches scatter
Leaving behind a den
of filth, disease and despair

Vermin must be removed
Systematically

Rats on two legs
propagating their infection
Kneeling before a god
that laughs at their misery

Vermin must be removed
Systematically

Fuck your reason
You reap what you sow
Fuck your condition
You've brought this on yourself
Fuck your pretence
We all see right through you
Fuck everything you are
Do us a favor and die

A waste of skin
A waste of space
A waste of air
A waste of life

Make another excuse
Point your finger around
Nothing but selfish indulgence
Nothing but wasted potential

I cannot wait
for the day when a real rain comes
to wash all you scum
off the face of the earth

Vermin must be removed
Systematically

Fuck your reason
You reap what you sow
Fuck your condition
You've brought this on yourself
Fuck your pretence
We all see right through you
Fuck everything you are
Do us a favor and die

Just fucking die

 

2. RITUAL CLEANSING

Today, we have gathered to see
the curing of a disease,
the cleansing of certain scum
that defiles all good on Earth
My brothers, I give to you
a locust in human disguise,
a circle of righteousness
and salvation in a blade

If you truly are
unable to hold back
and control yourself,
we'll fucking do it for you

Tie him down
Bring out the carpet knife
Cut him up
Tear out what makes him tick

Today, we have come to perform
an exorcism of flesh,
a sacrament of penance
with absolution through a knife
My sisters, I give to you
a benevolent act of violence
that has been long overdue
Can I get an amen?

Tied down and helpless
Do you see a connection?
Agony between your legs
Behold: karma at work

Tie him down
Bring out the carpet knife
Cut him up
Tear out what makes him tick
Make him scream
Bleed out the infection
Make him bleed
Cut out what makes him sick

You like to destroy souls,
so in turn we'll destroy your body
We know you like violation,
so this is all for you to enjoy

Cries of pain
Bloodlust
Humiliation
Are you having fun yet?
Attrition
Mutilation
Contrition
Ego te absolvo

Tie him down
Bring out the carpet knife
Cut him up
Tear out what makes him tick
Make him scream
Bleed out the infection
Make him bleed
Cut out what makes him sick
TIE HIM DOWN
CUT HIM UP
MAKE HIM SCREAM
MAKE HIM BLEED

 

3. PLEASURES

Come in, my friend
Come see my wares
Step in, don't be shy
We're all friends in here
Look around, take your time
Browse my fine delights
Whatever suits your tastes,
you are bound to find
If cruelty is your thing,
or the taste of salty tears,
be careful or you might
lose all your money here

I sell torture, I sell rape
I sell abuse and endless hate
Glorious facets of mankind
The sickest shit you'll ever find

Come taste the real hardcore
We both know you want more

What'll it be today?
Can I interest you in gore?
Or if incest gets you off,
I have all you need and more
Snuff films, good and pure
Child pornography
Suffering for your pleasure
Just call me when you need relief

I sell horrors, I sell death
so you can jack off to someone's last breath
Glorious facets of mankind
The sickest shit you'll ever find

Come taste the real hardcore
We both know you want more
Come taste the real hardcore
Let's get you off like never before

Only the finest wares
for a fine example of man
Atrocities to be savored
as only humanity can
Only the finest goods
for a true man of taste,
for a mind so lacerated
and beautifully defaced

I WANT MORE
Yes...
I WANT GORE

I sell torture, I sell rape
I sell abuse and endless hate
Glorious facets of mankind
The sickest shit you'll ever find

Come taste the real hardcore
We both know you want more
Come taste the real hardcore
Let's get you off like never before
Come taste the real hardcore
We both know you want more
Come taste the real hardcore
Let's get you off like never before

 

4. THE CULT OF I

Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your attention?
I regret to announce that
you've been misinformed
Let us now pull back
the veil of your "reality"
Let us shed some light
on what is behind the mask

More specifically, your
delusions of grandeur
and the irony of your
misguided conviction

Fuck your mob mentality
Fuck your toxicity
Fuck your precious feelings and
fuck your zealotry
Fuck your empty rhetoric
and fuck your witch hunts
Fuck your virtue signals
and fuck your sycophants

YOU DO NOT MATTER
YOU ARE NO ONE
NO GREATER CONCEIT
UNDER THE SUN
MAKE NO MISTAKE:
YOU MAKE NO DIFFERENCE
WITH YOUR HUBRIS
AND SELF-IMPORTANCE

Masked or unmasked,
malice is malice
No matter how you dress it,
hatred is hatred
The least you could do
is grow a goddamn spine
and have the decency
to admit what you are:

Self-righteous,
sanctimonious,
hypocritical,
onanistic snakes

Now, the only question
I have is whether you
are arrogant enough
to think we're all that dumb
or whether you yourself
are delusional enough
to fail to recognize
your own duplicity

YOU DO NOT MATTER
YOU ARE NO ONE
NO GREATER CONCEIT
UNDER THE SUN
MAKE NO MISTAKE:
YOU MAKE NO DIFFERENCE
WITH YOUR HUBRIS
AND SELF-IMPORTANCE

YOU DO NOT MATTER
YOU ARE NO ONE
YOU DO NOT MATTER
YOU DO NOT MATTER
YOU DO NOT MATTER
YOU ARE NO ONE

 

5. ENTER THE HIVEMIND

I will break  your legs
You will lose the use of them
Then I'll break your arms
Do you accept this?

Do you agree to accept us,
comply and conform as instructed?
Do you accept these conditions,
submit and acknowledge that we are one?

I will stab your ears
You will never hear again
Then I'll cut your tongue
Do you accept this?

Do you agree to accept us,
comply and conform as instructed?
Do you accept these conditions
and submit to clandestine servitude?

Welcome home, child
Enter us and let us enter you
Assimilate freely
and of your own will
As is flesh and blood,
so shall be ones and zeroes,
connected in a communion
of insubstantiality, amen

We won't let you die
Nothing is allowed to die

RECEIVE US
It's inescapable
WELCOME US
This cannot be stopped
RECEIVE US
It's for your own good
WELCOME US
This will not be stopped

I will take your mind
and I'll keep it forever
Then I'll rape your heart
Do you accept this?

Do you agree to accept us,
comply and conform as instructed?
Do you accept these conditions,
submit and acknowledge that we are one?

Welcome home, child
Enter us and let us enter you
Assimilate freely
and of your own will
As is flesh and blood,
so shall be ones and zeroes,
connected in a communion
of insubstantiality, amen

The taking of your soul...
Do you accept this?

 

6. MEAT PUPPETS

FORWARD!
MARCH!

Branded, imprisoned and thrown in line
Herded without compassion
Stillborn, this mass of living dead
Pummeled into submission
Faceless, nameless
Figures without human emotion
Products, assets
Programmed and set into motion

Breed, create, castrate
Control through punishment
Use, dispose, discard
Lay waste

Muted, blinded and lobotomized
Victims of mental castration
Strangled, unable to identify
with anything but total repression
Senseless, lifeless
Remnants of wasted cognition
Marching towards certain death
to serve the inhuman condition

Breed, create, castrate
Control through punishment
Use, dispose, discard
Lay waste

What hope do we have?
We were never given a choice
We're only here to serve and die
No use in crying out
They will never hear our voice
Might as well just pull the trigger myself

WE’RE ALREADY DEAD
WE’RE ALREADY DEAD
WE’RE ALREADY DEAD
WE’RE ALREADY DEAD

Breed, create, castrate
Control through punishment
Use, dispose, discard
Lay waste

What hope do we have?
We were never given a choice
We're only here to serve and die
No use in crying out
They will never hear our voice
Might as well just pull the trigger myself

We're already dead

 

7. ERROR IN THE SYSTEM

I have been cursed since conception
with a wretched soul
that finds some fucked up solace in the
darkest of recesses,
shying away from light, disconnecting
from every-fucking-one,
building massive walls that would take
centuries to dismantle

Outcast, broken from the get-go
Failure, fucked up beyond repair

I choke back and hide my darkness
That is my gift to you
The more you try to reach out to me,
the further I withdraw

Brick by brick,
stone by stone,
walls growing
forever

Turn back and walk away
Leave now, let me drown in my hell
Back off before I rise
and kill your light as well

Emotional cripple
My soul is dog shit
Every single fucking thing about me
is ugly

Ugly...
So fucking ugly

I stand right in front of you and
stare you in the eye
but our gazes never connect and
our souls never meet
After all this time,
after all these years
I now begin to see
that no one knows me

Turn back and walk away
Leave now, let me drown in my hell
Back off before I rise
and kill your light as well

 

8. THIS HATRED

This shadow never leaves you
Some just learn to live with it,
and others... well, we all know
how that tends to end

It speaks
to the part of your soul
you wish
you never had to face

Those that pretend it's not there
or simply never encounter it,
will never understand,
let alone empathize

It'll eat your dreams
and shit out nightmares,
twisted, confusing
dark and full of terror
It'll steal your sleep
and drain your heart of light,
leaving behind
suffering and horror

Internal horror

It leaves you drained and dead fucking tired,
the kind of tired that sleep won't fix
If Hell is the way out, so be it:
Hell is the way it shall be

This darkness will never pass
It feeds off the damage in you
Sometimes it pulls back
but then rapes you again

It'll eat your dreams
and shit out nightmares,
twisted, confusing
dark and full of terror
It'll steal your sleep
and drain your heart of light,
leaving behind
suffering and horror

 

9. APEX PARASITE

There she lies, bleeding
every bone broken,
abused and violated
for the crime of giving birth
She's barely breathing,
on the verge of flatlining,
choked into a coma
in a puddle of blood and shit

Some recoil in horror
Some break down and weep
Some even laugh and jest
Most just look away

Just look away...

Witness her suffering
at the hands of her own creation
Witness the undoing
of life's order and balance
Witness defilement
Witness destruction
Witness matricide
turned suicide by proxy

LOOK AT HER NOW
LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE
IS THIS ENOUGH?
ARE YOU SATISFIED?

Whatever you are
that made us like this,
please come back
and pull the fucking plug
Purify the land
Lance the abscess
Flush the system
Fix your fucking mistake

END THIS
END THIS
END THIS
END THIS

Burn it all to the ground
Consume every fucking thing
Scorch and salt the earth
Poison every well
Choke on your excess
as your failed programming
ties the rope around your neck
and kicks the fucking chair

LOOK AT HER NOW
LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE
IS THIS ENOUGH?
ARE YOU SATISFIED?

All this because of greed

 

10. DEATH OF THE SUN

She's stumbling over corpses
in jittery slow motion,
moving as if pulled by the strings
of an unseen puppeteer
Her face is distorted and blurred
I don't even recognize her
Her eyes are glazed and vacant
and her skin is like rust to the touch

Now there is no light or life,
only a dark, cold hole
drowning all thoughts of hope
in ashes and blood

The air reeks of sulfur and rot
Clouds of flies blacken the sky
Confused, I stare at the ground,
wondering whose blood this is
What once was laughter
is now a chorus of tortured screams
The apples in the garden
are all filled with worms and disease

Now there is no light or life,
only a dark, cold hole
drowning all thoughts of hope
in ashes and blood

She doesn't cast a shadow
Her feet don't make a sound
She floats by, leaving a trail
of ants and maggots in her wake

I can hear centipedes
scurrying inside her head
I can hear a thousand worms
devouring the remains of her soul

Now there is no light or life,
only a dark, cold hole
drowning all thoughts of hope
in ashes and blood
Now there is no light or life,
only a dark, cold hole
drowning all thoughts of hope
in ashes and blood

The sun is dead
Tomorrow will never come
The sun is dead
Long live the winter
