[duet: Young & Cisneros]
[solo: Young]
Ships arranged like a fleet
All around the device
Filled with rats and sheep
To see who lives and dies
And wouldn't you know
A rising tide lifts all boats
An underwater flash of light
The column stretches over a mile high
These storied old behemoths
Friendlies and enemies
Blasted by gamma rays
And swallowed by the sea
[solo: Morris]
An underwater flash of light
The column stretches over a mile high
A base surge crashes down
Eardrums shattered by the overwhelming sound
Fire away now
[solo: Morris]
No one can escape
[solo: Young]
Burning away now
[solo: Morris]
The sea evaporates
[solo: Young]
[solo: Morris]
[duet: Morris & Young]
[solo: Morris]
Sailors forced to remove the dead
Contaminated, an imminent dread
Nothing was gained, only lost
But who paid the greatest cost?

The Highway of Death
03:38
|
|||
|
We set out on the road to flee from the chaos and
We're running
And as the traffic stalls, we hear them in the sky
They're coming
Wedged between commuter cars, a convoy tries
To evade
Packed in and captive for the slaughter
Civilians are afraid
chorus:
The cluster bombs begin to fall
And there's nowhere left to go
A turbojet grim reaper calls
And soon there's no one left at all
[solo: Young]
[chorus]
Hundreds of explosions tear across the night
And stuck inside of metal boxes, humans beings fry
No burial will follow for the many who have died
And tanks lie in wait to target those who do survive
On the Highway of Death!

Intelligencia

In the interest of some morbid entertainment
Watch a bunch of Oppenheimers try to solve the Great Deceit
I wonder how our species built the Large Hadron Collider
While these drooling yoyos stick forks in electrical sockets
[solo: Morris]
From 5G superstitions to coffee enemas
No vaccine will inoculate you from being dumb
Monkey see and monkey do and monkey will believe
Without question, automatic, the first thing that it sees
[solo: Young]
We're getting dumber
(Dumb!)
We're getting dumber
See?
Finally
Setting free
Don't have to be
(Intelligencia!)

Fascism Creep
06:38
|

|
[solo: Morris]
It's just a joke!
Why can't we tell jokes anymore?
Because the world is against you
Yes, you specifically!
Criticism impedes your freedom of speech
If they can say it, then why can't we? :'(
chorus:
Join us in the deepest corners, in the shadows
We understand you and we share your struggles
Join us in the deepest corners, in the shadows
Somewhere you can belong and share your struggles
If you think about it,
These people should never win
There are more of us, after all
The oppressed majority
[solo: Young]
Patriots, calling all patriots!
Patriots, prepare to fight!
[chorus]
[solo: Young]
[solo: Morris]
[solo: Young]
This just in (on CNN), two sides disagree
A normal person and a neo-Nazi
They say "the truth must lie somewhere imbetween"
The center's drifting rightward
And fascism's creeping in
You didn't even notice while we radicalized you
You thought you were the chosen,
But you're just a means to an end:
Patriots, calling all patriots!
Idiots, you're on your own...

Mechanyzed Warfare
04:49
|
|||
|
Engines roaring, devouring fuel
Crank shafts are rotating
Efficient and cruel
Turbines spinning, pressurizing air
Ignition and propulsion
Mechanizing warfare
Pistons pounding, displacing mass
Treads tearing asphalt
And crushing skulls like glass
Underwater, churning up the sea
Steam powered ejection
Nuclear delivery
chorus:
Armor plates, enduring hate
Advanced instruments of death
Metric tons festooned with guns
Advanced instruments of death
[solo: Morris]
Weapons firing, discharging payloads
On the ground, detonating
Targets explode
Night sky lit up by a million flares
Tracking devastation
Mechanizing warfare
[solo: Young]

Hypersonic Tungsten Rod
05:26
|
|||
|
[solo: Morris]
Streaming above the Earth's equator
Geosynchronous orbit, potential energy
Inaudible death knell strikes in the vacuum
Ejected, the payload commences re-entry
Away!
A ray
Of solid tungsten
From space
[solo: Young]
Away!
A ray
Of solid tungsten
From space
[solo: Morris]
[solo: Young]
Upon impact of the hypersonic rod
Momentum drives a mushroom cloud
Fifteen times faster than the speed of sound
The whole world is defenseless now
[solo: Morris]

I've been raging all my life
I can hear my blood pumping behind my eyes
Every habit, every fight
Every choice I've made has taken a bite
Until nothing was left of me
Until nothing was left of me
Until nothing, until nothing
Until nothing could stand between
Me and you
[solo: Young]
I'm craving and I'm coming for you
My shackles falling away, setting me loose
Just a job, nothing personal
There's no limit to just how far I'll fall
Until nothing is left of me
Until nothing is left of me
Until nothing, until nothing
Until nothing can stand between
As the bullets fly and as the fighters fill the sky
Cannons taking aim, and you will know my name
Missiles in the air, devastation everywhere
The world is in flames, and you will know my name
[solo: Morris]
Your destruction is now at hand
Scattering your atoms like grains of sand
[solo: Morris]
Until nothing is left of you
Until nothing is left of you
Until no one, until no one
Until no one can deny the truth
As the bullets fly and as the bombers fill the sky
Warships taking aim, and you will know my name
Praise the war machine, bandoliers and gasoline
The world is in flames, and you will know my name
[solo: Young]
[solo: Morris]
(Salvation) I am your
(Salvation) I am your
(Salvation)
I am your Salvation!
