Deep within the trees
Crying out, Mrs Leeds
Curses child thirteen
Infant suddenly erased
Monster takes its place
Hooves, tail, wings, crooked face
A creature born of hate
Hunted down
Exorcised
Still alive
Paterson to the cape
If it’s dark in the woods
Then you know you’re not safe from his grasp
Snuff the lights
Run indoors and lock them up tight
Terror statewide
From beyond the pines
In a marsh
It lurks and creeps
This way is death
The devil Leeds
Born forsaken
Evil awakened
Locals are shaken
Afraid and taken
Camden to the coast
The barrens know well
Of the monster it hosts
Only terror waits inside
To prey on our miserable lives
You may think this is just a game
Seek the house if you feel so brave
Face to face with a demon untamed
Just another the forest has claimed
Can not
Be slain
By man nor machine
Patiently waiting
In woods evergreen
No one
Can hear you
Your wails and your screams
Your legs
Will fail you
In utter defeat
This withered place is so diseased
On this world I’ll make my mark
And lead you to the grave
Soaked in blood, filled with fear
I am now your devil here
As I burn away the skin and leave you
I can bring the world to its knees

Knight of Chains
03:30
|

They called me warleader
Seven faces in the rock
Setting forth from my home
Seeking honor for my tribe
I will slay the children
I'll crush their bones to dust
Chains dragging behind me
I will quench my blood lust
Raiding their homes
They must atone
Raiding their homes
They're not alone
I was captured and enslaved
Sealed inside of a pit
I escaped, freed others
Blood trail begins again
Traveling on the sea
Of Kurald Emurlahn
Boarded an Edur ship
Not one soul left alive
I entered Raraku
Now serving the Whirlwind
These chains are growing longer
When will this blood trail end?
Leaving Sha'ik behind
In search of fabled blade
I traveled far beyond
I killed one of my gods
Receiving blade of flint
Named for my fallen friends
I returned to the desert
Repelled the Malazans
They know me by one name
Call me the Toblakai
They know me by one name
Call me the Toblakai
WITNESS
Chains drag behind me
Thousands of leagues long
Your civilization, they will all come crashing down
In my reign of terror violence will abound
They'll call me a god but
I'm nowhere to be found

Cyberkinetic
Savior?
Deceiver
Upload information
Into the machine
Bit by byte you vanish
Identity erased
Lives displayed for the world to see
We know not how this came to be
Answers lying in front of me
You're for sale nothing in life's free
Industrialized
Information
Commodified
Desolation
Living in a world
Of digital elite
Personality
Defined by their control
Decades to prepare for the coming times
Rebellion now labeled a thought crime
Cyberkinetic
Savior?
Deceiver
Internalized fear
Weaponized by them to maintain order
Commanding fear
Fall back in line.
Your words are heresy
They know what's best
Go back to your desk
Capital control
Is what they know best.
Information's all they need
Because the more you know
The more control you hold
Deep fakes and snakes
Twisting the fold
Blending life and lie
We don't know what's at stake
Digitized
Monopolized
Industrialized
Information
All for naught
Lives now lost
Commodified
Desolation

Weak World
03:18

Living a life filled with disgust
No one to listen, no one to trust
Finding solace solely in sloth
Life fades away
Harsh truths pain
Lies comfort
Spiral down
Towards despair
In the lonesome abyss
Stuck in solitude
Familiarity
Poisons all
Seeking acceptance, feeling bereft
Squandering God's greatest gifts
Always content staying the same
Life fades away
EMBODY THE ONE YOU WILL BECOME
Do not be afraid
Afraid to change your ways
Cast aside the chains
The chains holding you back
Burn the modern world
Its trappings of deceit
Built to pacify
Built to keep you weak
Always fight on
Against weakness
Stand your ground
Against the world
Society
Aims to pacify
Do not succumb
To comforting sloth
Change your ways
Before you're lost
