Big money, Big guns

"Yet (as) the threat of war is ever more remote"
"What is the moral challenge of our day?"

Corrupted - corrupt politicians
Who'll say anything
On their, on their way to the top
They'll stop - stop at nothing

Under the flag
The statue stands
Saluting in the air
Phones are tapped
The wires are out
Spies are everywhere.

Facing - to face no morals
Living - living in the past
Fool your minds with power

It's so sensuous
No more - no more words
No no no no more lies
I hide a certain kind of pride.
Jagged, jagged, jagged glass

A conspiracy appears on the floor,
The bell starts to ring.
Big Money, Big Guns,
Sexy, lovely thing.

"Yet the threat of war is ever more remote"

A conspiracy begins on the floor
The bell it starts to ring.
Big Money, Big Guns,
Sexy, lovely thing.
Everything you see.

Spies are everywhere.

"Yet the threat of war is ever more remote"

. . .


All you do is see it through
Your ego stands in front of you
Your head keeps turning to one side
And yet you try to hide your foolish pride
Visions all caught up inside
Yet you still try to hide
Twisted visions in your head
You lay there wishing you were dead
Adrenaline flows inside your head
Inside it keeps you high
Adrenaline flows inside your head
Inside it keeps you high
Round and round your body goes
Your state of violence no one knows
No emotions left inside
Superiour flash of genocide
Adrenaline flows inside your head
Inside it keeps you high
Round and round your body goes
Your state of violence no one knows
No emotions left inside
Superiour flash of genocide
All the thoughts locked in your head
Twisted visions come instead
All you do is see it through
Your ego stands in front of you
Adrenaline flows inside your head
Inside it keeps you high
Adrenaline flows inside your head
Inside it keeps you high
Round and round your body goes
Your state of violence no one knows
All the thoughts locked in your head
Twisted visions come instead
All you do is see it through
Your ego stands in front of you
Adrenaline flows inside your head
Inside it keeps you high
Your head keeps turning to one side
And yet you try to hide your foolish pride
Visions all caught up inside
Yet you still try to hide
Adrenaline flows inside your head
Inside it keeps you high
Adrenaline flows inside your head
Inside it keeps you high
Adrenaline flows inside your head
Inside it keeps you high

Mental Distortion

[No lyrics]

. . .


"As the first jolt of electricity was sent through his body"
"A ghastly column of smoke that rose from her head"

Break with me
We, we, we collapse
Its, its over
Hanging from above

You, you, you, wake up screaming!
You, you, you, eat us all!

Borrow children with
Annihilate ???
The closer you come,
The closer you see,
The faster

I switch off, Seeing you.
I switch off, Seeing you.
Annihilate, Annihilate
??
Overkill
We collapse
Mediate
Digital oppression

My soul is burning
You, kill ?? in your ??

"When she was given more electricity"
"A ghastly column of smoke that rose from her head"
"When it appeared that she had recieved enough electricity
to kill an ordinary person...the doctors went over and pulled
down the cheap prison...."

We'll, conceive a trial
?? resist ??
Through you
Lie and ??
Lie, ready to follow
Lie, ready to kill
??
Shot right through

I switch off
I switch off
I annihilate
I collapse
I overkill
I manipulate
I celebrate
I excuse
I frustrate
I overkill

You wake up screaming

"When it appeared that she had recieved enough electricity...
"...to kill an ordinary person"
"As the first jolt of electricity was sent through his body"

Kill for kicks
Bio-readouts are all in the green, looks like she's alive

Resist, resist, resist

Killed your lovers

Resist the command

Vicious warning
Deface deface the

Fleeing from rejection,
You're fleeing from the lies
Nothing for the loser
The hero always dies

The look in your eye
The pressure you kill with a knife
Toxins and games
You you vow to win

Resist the command
Deface deface the
And vow to win

Kill for kicks

. . .


"Sometimes we have thoughts that are so frightening
we can't even admit to ourselves that we have them."
"Did I torment you, did I perhaps even kill your loved ones? Yes you did."

Control of power
Strangles the mind
Collapse of the system
Destruction begins
From within

Mutilated by sound
Signalling all the senses
Out of mind
Out of soul
The trauma begins

A story never told
From the past
A show remains
Conspiracy aided
Toxic shock

They all lie in a trance
Those idealistic fools
Bent on crutches
All of them bleed
In their tracks
They never look back

Christ, Christ, Christ
What have they done to me?
Christ, Christ, Christ
What have they done to me?

"Wait for me you maniac, I don't know whats going on"

Buried machines
Connecting the unseen
Information warfare
Aggression and betrayal
Radiation codes
Psycho-nerve warfare

. . .


Infected and rejected
The pressure gets to you

Disjointed and erected
Protection from the mutes

Wasted and exhausted
A new attitude

Restrained to the table
I.V.'s running through

[Chorus:]
This vision is alive
This will survive

Convulsion through the victim
The testing is new

Schizophrenic apprehension
The tension grips you

Agitation Isolation
The methods are crude

Execution Evolution
State power rules you

[Chorus]

Restitution Persecution
What else is new?

Termination of the nation
Its all up to you!

. . .


"By the perception of illusion we experience reality."

Champs of oppression
Devils of mine
The youth of tomorrow
??? to find

Reanimate, reanimate
Corroded minds
??? desire
We're all so blind

Terminate the feelings pressures of life
Search for something you just can't find

Living heads
I feel the knife
Swift percision.
Come alive

Whisper youth
???
Your all eternal
Buried inside

See your face
Perception lies still
Time to choose
A new kill

??? of oppression
??? of fear
A new stage of silence
I see it clear

I feel no pain!
I feel no pain!

I feel no pain
Beyond the realm

Melted bodies
Twisted in ruins
Calm deceit
The city of death

Reanimate, reanimate
Reanimate your fear

I feel no pain

Feared existence
A crippled back
I feel no pain
The pain on my back

Reanimate, reanimate
Reanimate your fear

I feel no pain
I feel no pain

. . .


"Had a bad childhood? We can fix it.
Re-sculpt your memory, shorten your perception of. Why not?"

"Oh my God!"

Feeling like a ???
Severing from this realm of life
The enemy is on your back
An ??? implanted form
??? justify

"Helpless...."

The enemy is ???
???
The angels ???
??? crashes through the cell
Democracy self-destructs
??? fallen cause
Its time to pay them back

"They shoot him"
"Where?"
"In the lung"
"??? in the resurrection"

In their eyes
Perception appears
Broken force
Scratches their faith
Crippled hysteria
The laughing pain

??? affects the realm of hope
and ??? our self-conviction
We heal your faith
With chemicals,
You help the victims
??? affects warnings
The best of two evils

"The gunmen had picked their victim completely at random"
"They were attempting to increase and spread the terror"

. . .


"I don't think that..."
"Any means necessary for survival"
"Stick 'em up motherfucker..."
"I don't think that..."
"I don't think that the real violence has even started yet"
"Bwahahahahah"
"Stick 'em up motherfucker, this is a hold-up""

Deep inside the angle hurts
Rotation moves
The amber burns

Silently your hands are tied
Persuasion slowly slips inside
Stretching skin it has a burn
Sooner or later you will learn
Perversion

Inhibitions from within
The only thing we really want
Is sin / skin

Are you ready to believe
Are you ready to conceive

Are you ready to come
Are you ready to be one
Are you ready to come
Are you ready to be one

The leather cracks
You feel the heat
A hardening pulse
Is oh so sweet

The blindfold slips down
To your mouth
You taste the flesh
It makes no sound

The blade it skins
On your chest
Perverse illusion
Never rests
Within

"Any means necessary for survival"

Are you ready to believe
Are you ready to conceive
Are you ready to come
Are you ready to be one

This sado game
Is now for real
You suffocate
With fear of pain

The blood starts running
From your vein
The straps are tightened
For pleasured pain

. . .
