July 24, 2015, Remastered, Independent (Digital)
The alternate title "Not Silent" is a mistake. It's not the album title, but the record label's name.
1. Link Line 2:36
Minds captured and controlled by the sin disease
Getting together to build the mad phone machine
Pre-recorded lies speaking in the voice of a god
Victims think they're thinking for themselves helplessly nod
Pre-packed with hip-hop graphics and the pamphlet looks cool
If you seek out another opinion you are condemned a fool
Like the death camp Jews who worked to finance their own deaths
Money coming out of our pockets to misfeed heads
Link Line
(Disconnect the) Link Line
Let alone not preaching abstinence but encouraging sex
Let alone not saying it's a choice but you're stick with homo-sex
Employing theories and opinions that fit the agenda the best
Selling it as truth with nothing getting through to oppose this
Purporting to be of help and of service to the community
Achieving nothing but to spread a kind of immunity
To anything righteous and that costs and is the difficult way
In the name of their philosophy and the god of "anything you say"
I'll hang on to my Bible 'cause its burning's on the way
Teach my children well that we're at war today
Chip away at my block at the corner that the Lord gives
Make the most of my life and the time I've got here to live
So you can take your Link Line and make all your little chains
This is one player praying against all your games
You versus God and it's a battle for every mind
Pit eternity against the rest of your life
2. Things Don't Work Out 6:09
This silver platter world
Handing out its song and dance
Says subjective obsolescence
Is the right of all humans
Condemned human race dancing
To their hormonal tunes
Which change according to food intake
And tides changed by the moon
Try it, you may not like it, trade it in, come tomorrow
For the main objective in this life
Is to be devoid of sorrow
But it if you can or steal it if you must
And look into the mirror
If you need someone you can trust
And we can say things didn't work work
Til we say things don't work out
You can say things don't work out
I say it's people who don't
Guided by fear of all commitment
We can run but we're still owned
By all our petty fears and desires we'll never satisfy
On our sick beds with question marks
In our heads as we die
God has shown us what is right
And what there is to care for
But we're in a hall of mirrors darkly
Uncaring to find the door
Words like sin, redemption, and trust
Hit our ears irrelevantly
Condemning ourselves to no hiding place
In the time of missed glory
To God and we'll say things didn't work out
And God will say shut up and get out
3. Destroy 4:54
I don't believe in your anymore or the things you sell
Don't accept as fact everything
Your loudspeakers tell
Caning snarls lurk behind your every fluoride smile
Your well-placed bright fashions
Become a necropolis after a while
The God I love and His Truth
Branded archaic biased against and ignored
In the new state of mind religion
Of do it yourself instant lords
I have bowed to your little global sphere
My own mind you have touched
Trying to make your required sacrifices
As my sanity was crushed
I look up and see your pharisees
Sitting there judging
Your eyes accusing with your words grudging
Skepticism your God
You reduce me to my appearance
In your statistical world my voice has no clearance
We're the new heretics
You burn our books at the stake
I pray to God to take you out
Of my mind all that I hate
Your warped moralities
Changeable to kill posing as a toy
Good and innocence in your sights
You're ready to destroy
So many lies from my lips
As I kowtowed to your party line
Trying to embrace the colors
That could never be mine
You disguise things so well
Token causes as mock fresh breath
Seems so right but the ends thereof
Are the ways of death
To blow your tumors out of my brain
Is to be truly alive
You blinded me and removed the freedom
Jesus won me when He died
You wanted to keep me laughing
In your shackles til the day of my death
Leaving my God to work without me
Me missing out on what He'd bless
Your scientific advancements
Mere discoveries of God's creation
Yet He shrinks in your psyche
While He really becomes greater
The collective brain losing oxygen
Arteries cut off from their Source
Poison fruit of malignant seed
Planted and set on hellbound course
Try to ignore eternal yearnings
And the innate need to trust
There are no ghosts where there are no men
You'll be conquered by dust
Packaging immediate contentment
And selling it as ultimate joy
Happiness as virtue in your sights
You're ready to destroy
The blind following of these empty alleyways
Is the only blame to place
For there's nothing truly human
About your human reich
Even now you make these words
Fall on indifferent ears
But I fight you every day
Long as God keeps me here
May God use me to my fullest
Protect me against your lies
Give me love to show to your suicide row
That they may survive
I destroy your world in my mind
Cut your Babylon spider web
The smoke from your ashes
Won't have my tears in it
4. Acts Of Love 6:52
I don't know the circumstances
All I've heard is what I read
And a couple of people where I worked
Are dead of the disease
Your emptiness, your void, no different
Than the one once inside me
Someone got in front of your eyes
And became so tempting
Who was the human landmine
That you shared passions with?
What was going on in his mind
The moments that you kissed?
Awareness of death's specter
Or ignorance untold?
Or fear of what was in your blood
Not knowing what was in his own
So tempting you say
I'm glad I'm not you
Get away from me
You're not like me
So tempting to say
It's your own fault
You asked for it all
Hear judgement's call
Til God pulls me from my sin
And shows me all the hate I'm in
Nothing left to do but give
And pray that you can still live
My flesh so used to searching
Sometimes forgets it's found
All the reason it needs to live
Beyond touch and sight and sound
So tempting have been the situations
It has been through
No guarantee that in the future
It won't have to face what's facing you
If Jesus is my master
His Spirit the Source from which I live
I must allow Him to take over me
Allow Him to let me give
To temper exhortations
With decisive acts of love
Acts with fingers that point not at me
But straight up above
Cholera in times of love
Triumph of the pill
Sex is death, the new cry
The god of choice is ill
Children of the revolution
Slowly eaten away
Society binge and purge
Of liberation ways
Conqueror germs in the air
Running through veins
All across the face of the earth
A growing red stain
Souls spiraling downward falling
Solutions backfired
Accompanying drought of love
Eros getting tired
5. Judas 5:39
Judas at the end of the rope
No salvation and no hope
Judas at the end of the rope
No hope
Did he wonder if it had to be
As he succumbed to his destiny
Did he wonder about what he missed
As his lips formed to kiss
Satan makes for easy stomping
Knowing how he's behind it all
But what to say about Judas
What day really saw his fall
Did thirty pieces really turn the tide
Or was betrayal always in his mind
How was he born and raised
Was his life filled with dark days
Was the serpent his companion
Or was the deal already done
Did his father break his bones
Did he steal or was he stolen from
Judas bought the death that bought us life
Fulfilled the chronicle from before time
It had to happen but it was his choice
Though the book was written he had a voice
Logic mysterious unassailable
Til the end of time concealed
Like Pharaoh's heart hardened
So God's glory would be revealed
6. Psychic Pain 5:58
Utopian visions of a dream world
Quickly fade into dust
You finally seize the golden prize
And see it's really rust
Obstacles are overcome but followed by another test
Finally settling in the sun still get wracked by stress
Happiness brings on psychic pain
For the darkness surely follows
The sun inevitably sets for each rise on the morrow
Your reality of existence you can't escape
An absurd meaninglesness
You you think you reason your inner world
Can't explain why with it you're blessed
Got no way to say who's right or wrong
Takes thirty-something states to ratify constitution
Hitler pursued his destiny
With approval of public opinion
Cut away from God it is the human condition
No happy endings for the rich
See them languish and die alone
The poor die their absurd deaths
Drugs or AIDS or starvation
Conformed to the choice conformed to the fall
Sweet breath of Revelation taken as a tale too tall
Saving bitterest tears
For when the Truth hits their eyes
Will God also cry knowing they won't be dried?
7. You Are God 3:38
You wake up in the morning and you call the mirror God
With eyes deep inside that show a man in love
Self-hypnotized to your transcendency within
Idiot-proofed game you play, no matter what you lose you think you win
Your soul is your sycophant and you've trained it well
Drink your sacred cup of today's lies or chemicals
From the ape you have evolved now it's in your hands
You're going to take that leap of faith, make that advance
You are God - so they've told you
Science pulled down the curtain on Oz
You are God - so they've told you
What is you see is what you've got
You are God - so they've told you
So if you must you'll go out and kill
You are God - so they've told you
The bottom line is "do what you wilt"
Spent a century learning down icons and setting up your might
Every instrument readout now says your presence is a blight
An empire of waste, a dominion of toilet seat
Try to allay the guilt by criminalizing consumption of meat
Possibility of an underlying condition never crossing your mind
Everything seemingly in your grasp controllable but time
Something inside wants to be free-flying but you can't decide what
With every crystal and pyramid that you've got
The gate to your heaven so wide even Hitler can get in
Because in your world there's no such thing as sin
Blow it in this life you can pay for it in the next
The prize nirvana or who-knows-what, not that important
I have a vision of all the paths converging on celestial heights
Every human being hand in hand walking up no bickering about who's right
Happy music fills the air harmonious voices blend to one sound
Drowning out the cries of those who reach the end and fall to the ground
8. Man, You Made A Lonely World 7:48
In the beginning there was Darwin and Marx
Formulating theories to throw out God
Artificial reality free of absolutes
The only sin left is telling the truth
Pregnant child-mom smoking crack
Spike Lee and athletes counterattack
Noble fight against the symptoms
Of redemption lost
In the want for freedom from all cost
Man, you made a lonely world
Every human now a walking lie
In his own system of born to live and die
One eye desperate on the great beyond
With incantations to bring the magic wand
To turn the beast back into the prince
To balloon back home to Kansas
To bring back primeval memories gone
But something somewhere's been left undone
9. Reasons To Say No 14:39
Something new on the TV
Something new to get to me
Three more sitting on the fence
With inadequate defense
Three more fell in mammon's spell
Making money out of hell
Now glory goes to ABC
For reporting the truth to you and me
Now glory goes to doomed souls
As they just say "I told you so"
A few less tears for a burned down church
Less sympathy for a suppressed Word
Three more like those before defrocked
The saints become a laughingstock
Three more reasons to say no
To Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord
Reasons to say no
Just look at all this on the TV
Suits by Cardin and Armani
Look real good with diamond rings
And velvet carpeted settings
For the rich I have no dis
If they know what to do with it
Actionless emotions are a lie
Quick way to regret when you die
TV cameras can never catch
What's behind a door safely latched
If at some point they ever do
Edit it to do what you want it to
An easily manipulated medium
To see it is to believe it
Medium and message in control
Pay your money buy your soul
If the cameras could only catch
The silent struggles of believers attacked
They're the ones we could look up to
They're the ones who do what we should do
Look up to Jesus first, no one else
Placing others before themselves
Feeding those out without a home
Keep believing when tomorrow's unknown
Unafraid to share the Word
In the everyday neighborhood world
Sometimes at night they'll cry from sin
Pray from the hole they've fallen in
Soon enough you'll see their cheer
As the Lord did not turn a deaf ear
There's some reason to say yes
To salvation through Jesus
Reasons to say yes

1. I Think 3:01
I think I know what to do now
I think I know why
It looks like I'm where I thought I'd be
The day that I die
Hard to believe could it be so
So much more left to go
I've been told where I'm going
But I still get scared sometimes
Remembering the past that didn't last
And how I died sometimes
Didn't care for one or all
In the disease of the fall
What I see around
It brings tears to my eyes
If I do nothing about it
What right do I have to cry
Just save the tears
For the dawn of the eternal day
Stand uselessly before God
With nothing to say
I've been told the right things
It's hard to do them anyway
I just can't account for
All the blessings in my way
Tomorrow they may go
It can't change what I know
2. Human Reich 4:39
You say right and you say wrong
You've got nothing to stand upon
Germ that kills you is more right
Along with you your morality dies
Under your rulers that measure so well
But what they measure no one can tell
New totems and taboos for humankind
Don't know what to do with your mind
A condemnation of condemnation
Abolish all black and white insinuations
Your version becomes the text
Of a human brotherhood sect
Have faith only in what computes
A number's strength is its truth
Pocket adjustable moralities the norm
Man and its hero the conqueror worm
Cut the Truth off from its Source
Ritual masses disguised as discourse
Suckling on the pleasures you love so much
Shiny coin before a touch
You bring up the children and then you betray
As your flowers of life desiccate
See your offspring deathly pale empty eyes
As your holy tenets reveal themselves as lies
Calling mother father as you spit them out
Reach for a kiss as you strike them down
The new discrimination, the human reich
The new wrong, the new right
Your only truth is that all is true
No mind for what mutually excludes
Punishing enemies for hypocrisies
No absolutes determined, no authorities
Search for aliens out in space
Hoping for a better place
Send a satellite out that far
Find a planet destroyed by war
Cut the Truth off from its Source
Ritual masses disguised as discourse
The new discrimination, the human reich
The new wrong, the new right
3. Imbecile Factory 2:07
Every song I've written
Every attempt to dissect
Of what's all around me
My heart still can't make sense
As I'm hit with the reality
Dead child behind K-Mart
Years ago I could have pushed the button
But that makes me one more part
Used to carry signs
Propagating my beliefs
But only in my mind
Was there any relief
Battle is one on one
24-7 time
I am one of a priesthood
Life is more than a rhyme
And the imbecile factory churns on
And the imbecile factory churns on
And the imbecile factory churns on
And the imbecile factory churns on
Load up my ark as I fly above
I am imperfect but no pillar of salt
I can see the fire rain down, it is not for me
I tried to warn the floods but they would not see
Eternal survival walk the golden streets alone
Reading the names on uncountable tombstones
The fellowship I once enjoyed has left me betrayed
I hand them all to Satan so they may have their ways
And the imbecile factory churns on
And the imbecile factory churns on
And the imbecile factory
Imbecile factory
Imbecile factory
Churns on
4. Cannibalized 2:00
Put them in the jars
Stomach will not turn
Waste raw factory matter
Chewed instead of burned
This is rage
Usable resources
The trains will run on time
With coal of placenta
Food of the gods of the mind
This is rage
Toothpick bones in the goo
Eggshell cranium blue
What you eat you were
There is no place for tears
After all that's been cheered
What you eat you were
Pain or no pain
There is a face and name
What you eat you were
The imagery has been played with
Non-points well-made
Illustrating lack of purpose
Win by denying the game
It will take landing in backyards
And stomachs being cut open
And questionnaires filled out
At one's own dying moment
5. Uncalled For 3:04
I blame you for how I am
Or else I wouldn't understand
All I know is survival all is hell
Bottom of the hole through which I fell
Answer the question to end them all
Why did the doctor make this house call
Every day sun sets no sunrise
Lines of rage around my eyes
I can't stand up I only fall
I am here but I am uncalled
I can't stand up I only fall
I am here but I am uncalled
Got something to say then tell me
I am all ears
Got a word of reassurance let me know
I am all fears
Got a little comfort what is it
I am all tears
Got the parking brake in your hand then pull it
I am all years
Tumors bursting on my back
My rainbow's seven shades of black
I'll steal back what I own
Fall further down this hole
I can't stand up I only fall
I am here but I am uncalled
I can't stand up I only fall
I am here but I am uncalled
For
6. Torturer 2:09
Things I've assembled
To be torn apart
It seems the essence
This lava in my heart
The same old story
Handed by a woman and a snake
Jokes about purgatory
Seems a long wait
One more day with the torturer
One more day with the torturer
Love is a mask
Donned by many things
Fighting juggernauts
Destroying everything
A life of retreat
With its outstretched hand
Slapped down by me
That rule-playing man
One more day with the torturer
One more day with the torturer
One more day with the torturer
One more day with the torturer
Wrinkles where there were pimples
Grey and gone hair in my brown
Soon I will be muzzled
Soon I will die down
Years between me and God's face
As fleeting as dust and smoke
Every day be good in this place
If only for the hope
7. Inevitable 2:28
It was inevitable in your heart
And in your mind and in all your being
So here we are sitting and staring
Arguing and glaring and you're not seeing
That nothing's working out anymore
And we'll all walk through our appointed doors
Praying for God's Light to be beyond
And bright enough to get all this behind
It was inevitable as you knew
You tried it on, listened to Bill Gaither
It wore out quick clouds didn't leave
Back to the quick fix things you weren't too late for
As I made excuse upon excuse
Feeling trapped in a cage that I choose
Praying for God's Light to be beyond
And bright enough to cut through my wrongs
It was inevitable guess I knew
When I got changed and it was time to move
This web so fragile torn apart
With broken heart and nothing left to do
And I feel I'm stranded and I will die
But I'd gladly take it if also I could cry
Knowing that God's Light will be beyond
And bright enough to judge my every song
8. Cauldron 2:56
Heat rising
Isolation
In midst
Of sacred fight
Quiet jihad
Slips so fast
No easy
To be right
Not clever
Nor precocious
No fancied flights
On idiot wind
Stand for life
Style of death
Call the wrongs
In style of sin
Surrounded
As advertised
Readying
Slings and bows
Good intent
Honest errors
Never enough
To show
A march for evil on the capital
Flying in on leathery wings
Dig mass graves, blow things up
All will know there is no love
Pine for evil on the capital
Affect the legislation
Claim the angels turn and flee
Dictate reality
A march for evil on the capital
Dismembering children's bodies
One million strong stand side by side
Sing a song and commit suicide
9. Hanging On A Tree 2:24
So easy to forget, honestly
So easy to forget this was for me
I was on His mind when I didn't have to be
This was Someone with time for better things
Before my eyes this quiet battleground
Used to think my soul's salvation was all I needed for a rout
It was as easy as a prayer, as hard as being sincere
I've got Heaven coming but it took hell to get here
Hanging on a tree--there He is
Nailed to the tree--there He is
Hanging on a tree--there He is
Nailed to the tree
How'd you feel if that was your mother
How'd you feel if that was your father
His mind on you in the midst of His shame
Like a lover who only calls your name
A love such as this I can't imagine
Sometimes I miss the point even after it's spelled out to me
I'll carry on with my poor imitation
Of that walk between death and victory
Hanging on a tree--there He is
Nailed to the tree--there He is
Hanging on a tree--there He is
Nailed to the tree--there He is
Hanging on a tree--there He is
Nailed to the tree--there He is
Hanging on a tree--there He is
Nailed to the tree--there He is
10. In Answer 7:32
In answer to your question I hope you have been asking
I'll take off my fangs and stop all the scaring
I could quote John 3:16 pray for the best
That you'd grasp what it all means that we are in a test
To know what sin is is to know how it permeates
The day of coming justice for all of us awaits
Darkest of our deeds passes not unnoticed
Now we go free following paths we've chosen
O Jesus Christ bleeding at Golgotha
It took God, dying price paid for all
Validation on day three, stone moved from the tomb
Confirmation of deity, New Life out of cold womb
The gracious Work that asks for our trust
Eternity in the balance deeds not enough
In your reach as it's always been
To take and to open to look and taste and see
11. Stephen Hawking Walked Away 4:33
And so Carl Sagan starts to pray
Stephen Hawking walked away
Everything led to today
The pogrom went the other way
It's the end
Bertrand Russel bowed down
Syncretists fall to the ground
Silenced by the sound
True Face of Love melted them down
It's the end
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry
Politicians congregating
Standing in line and waiting
Measuring their love and hating
The resolution of all debating
It's the end
No more bullets with your name
Left for anyone to take
Time to find out what you made
Through the wringer see what stayed
It's the end
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry
Karmic intents now revealed
Like incensed prayers unconcealed
Spelled out terms of the deal
No longer spins the wheel
It's the end
And so Carl Sagan starts to pray
Stephen Hawking walked away
Followed by humanity
Everything led to today
It's the end

Track 9 is a remix of a few tracks from the previous albums, by Chris Dauphin and Marc Golob
1. Frankskanemy!/Codebasher 3:30
Two thousand years of opposition
Is the view that's held today
He's the cause of all wars
He's the author of all pain
No one will hear him out
He's the last minority
No one has a problem with Jesus Christ
Only those who invoke His name
All others have instant forgiveness
But he will have to pay
For the intolerant claims of salvation
Only attained in his one way
Two or three catchphrases will be
Enough to close most doors
Muted whispers of concern
For those who walk into his doors
Forever outside of the fashion culture
Around which the world revolves
Increasingly quaint and inscrutable
Are how his standards will be regarded
The cyanide laden Kool-Aid cup
Will be thrust into his hand
Amidst the laughter and the mockery
The time to make the stand
2. Face To Face Again 3:00
I'm so sorry I hurt you
And I must do it again
And it hurts me too
But I must do it
Half the time just want to crawl
And apologize
The other half feeling worse
From knowing I'm right
One misstep away
Every day on my game
I try too hard
To survive each day
I have lost touch with what I was
With the lie that it was
They say the pottery must break again
I'm not mad but I wonder when
And if it's never then this is it
Til the day of my grave's deliverance
The line remains there to be toed
Rejoice in the patience that will surely grow
I owe you so very much
That I cannot repay
I wish you'd see it
And let me have my one more way
You owe me that much
Owe me to let me pay
You always let me go
But I wanted to stay
3. Dysfunctional 1:31
Endless parade of gross perversions
Like pins pushed into my brain
However short-lived it may be
I remember the sweetness of the pain
Is the greater sin the act I committed
Or the lie later expressing disgust
That doesn't exist most of the time
A lack of morals or a lack of trust?
No more blood in my heart
Just concrete pouring in
Protection from conviction
Mortared by my sin
My face slowly turns to stone
No one gets inside
Now I have my secret place
Now I can hide
The white I wore in my dreams
Irrevocably blackened
Anger settling over my eyes
At finding myself lacking
I let them into my darkest halls
And I hate myself for it
They never knew as they overturned things
What was being destroyed
Replaying and reliving
The dark passages of my life
Smiling as I wreak the vengeance
I can never realize
My hands and eyes stay on me
I have made my choice
The big man I am inside
Will never use my voice
I make the lame excuses I heard before
And didn't tolerate
I look into the mirror
And what I see I surely hate
Wretch that I am
Who'll free me from the body of death
The answer's written in my stone
Waiting for my breath
4. Friends In The Skies 7:29
Everybody wants to make
Friends in the skies
Trying to ascend to
Planes of existence on high
Falling into trances
And trying to float away
Given up on earth and people
Headed for the astral plane
Certain of their help
To past civilizations
Ancient earth scattered with
Earth base stations
The angels aren't so far
They're in the mothership
Theirs is the power
They've been given lordship
And if there's life on other planets
Then we're sure that we must know
And they've been here once already
And will come back to save our souls
Friends in the skies
Kidnap me today
Friends in the skies
See you in my dreams
Friends in the skies
My ears are open
Friends in the skies
I'll spread your prophecies
Everybody wants to make
Friends in the skies
With radar dish beams
And interplanetary satellites
Before the planet collapses
Under the weight of man
In search of saviors
For an ultimate weapons ban
Ecstatic in the explanations
For the existence of God
And the sophisticated advancements
Rendering Him obsolete as Lord
The gods aren't so far
They're in the mothership
Theirs is the power
They'll be given worship
And if there's life on other planets
Then we're sure that we must know
And they've been here once already
And will come back to save our souls
Friends in the skies
Kidnap me today
Friends in the skies
See you in my dreams
Friends in the skies
My ears are open
Friends in the skies
I'll spread your prophecies
Everybody wants to make
Friends in the skies
Do they know they seek after
Something already familiarized
Sugar coated manifestations
Designed to achieve control
Of minds unsure and hungry
In their unacknowledged souls
A vibrant alternative
To the drab oppressive Church
Obtaining maximum experiences
With just a little work
The gods aren't so far
They're in the air all around
Theirs is the power
Since they were brought down
And if there's life on other planets
Then we're sure that we must know
And they've been here once already
And will come back to save our souls
Friends in the skies
Kidnap me today
Friends in the skies
See you in my dreams
Friends in the skies
My ears are open
Friends in the skies
I'll spread your prophecies
5. John The Baptist Revisited 1:46
Stone the liars with our words
Faith is dead without good works
You must repent, you must change
You can't get to Heaven the easy way
A few will pass, maybe one or two
Too much sin and your salvation's not true
No blood can cover up a lie
Better be ready the day you die
If you doubt repent and be saved once again
And after the next rash of sins
Before you help your neighbor in need
And say "Lord, Lord, see my deed"
Be sure, be sure, remember last night
Can you say your soul is pure and white?
Does your life negate your supposed salvation?
Too much sin repeals its validation
A blade of no return suspended somewhere over your head
Go beyond and you were always dead
Re-crucify yourself again and again
And come back again next week for your confession
May all these words burn upon you well
I hope I pleased God trying to keep you from hell
Hope I see you in Heaven, you know what to do
Got to go now and make sure my salvation's true
6. My Night Alone 3:08
That night there was no solution
And even now looking from so far away
I still can see no real solution
Like w'ere still living on that day
For me no day defined before and after
Like that one did so decisively
And every new day instead of healing
Makes me look back more painfully
On my night alone
I threw my life down the toilet
I tore my medals off my chest
I swore that this would be death
On my night alone
Did my tongue wag too much before?
Could a few words have sealed our fate?
No forgiveness allowed or forgiveness given
I said no to love and yes to hate
Some attempted praises I subtly botched
Outstretched hands did I ignore
Wrapped in a self-made cocoon of sorrows
Thinking of all that went on before
On my night alone
I threw my life down the toilet
I tore my medals off my chest
I swore that this would be death
On my night alone
Satan stood by my side
Took me for a hellish ride
I lit candles to my pride
That day stayed with me for months
Guided my every word and move
Laughed inside at all the wreckage
And I knew that we were doomed
With washed hands I watched
The events that sealed our fate
Til I saw what I'd really done
And then it was too late
On my night alone
I threw my life down the toilet
I tore my medals off my chest
I swore that this would be death
On my night alone
Satan stood by my side
Took me for a hellish ride
I lit candles to my pride
7. Ashes 1:53
It's hard to admit I'm wrong sometimes
But even harder to admit I'm right
Compromise as the sun rises and falls
Just trying to avoid the fight
Thinking I'm upholding my purpose from God
While my soul and spirit fall apart
I smile and play along with everything
As I lie to my own heart
The things I think Satan wants torn apart
Maybe it's him holding them together
His hand not behind the malfunctions
But the tensions that ensue with others
It's all a game I play along with
Close your eyes and bow your head
I get home and I ponder my lies
And I know that I am dead
Each Christian life in the balance
More important than any charade
Who's purpose only delays the inevitable
And ultimately sends it into the flames
With foundation in place I must stand
The compromise must end
Or God will walk me through the ashes
Of my noble accomplishments
8. Lamento 3:58

O Senor
Ven pronto
Tu justicia
Sobre nosotros
Igual a mi
Aunque yo teme
Porque asi
Yo te vere
La solucion no es facil
En nuestras manos esta
Para ponerla en manos de Jesus
La fe que El no fallara
Yo prefiero los lamentos
Y las lagrimas del dia final
Que se derramen en los cielos
Que Dios las va a secar
9. Frank's Enemy Metro 7:52
10. Straight Up/Down 2:11
I told you about the work and all that it means
God came down as Jesus and fulfilled the ultimate dream
A gift wrapped in His blood and it's ours to take
You will hear that the just shall live by faith
But I sing a song sung so many times before
A familiar message with familiar holes
You should have questions and they should be answered
It will not happen while I stand up here and you sit down there
Straight up/down
The time will come
There's more to the Gospel than this
But everybody seems to want the Reader's Digest
I too am guilty of encapsulation
To a concise five-step plan of salvation
But can you blame me when we're on the Titanic
On this sinking system of things satanic
Like Paul walking down the gallery of the gods
In a battle where it gets hard to like the odds
Straight up/down
I could be hit and run and shove it down your throat
To win the argument would be my highest hope
And maybe make you say the words and pray they're true
Just like how everybody taught me to do
But you could grab the Book and start to read for yourself
Not decide on your afterlife from the words of my mouth
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John could probably tell the story best
And you can always call us: silenot@safari.net
11. Nothing Changed 1:59
And so I lashed out outside and in
Vented my anger at every whim
I kicked the dog after poisoning his food
I couldn't think of anything else to do
And I was scared
Oh Lord so scared
And I couldn't dare
To really think about it all
And today
Nothing has changed
Nothing changed
Nothing has changed at all
And so I sink and sink and withdraw in
Looking up numbers of suicide hotlines
I almost cry, no specific reason why
I fantasize about the day I die
And I am scared
Oh Lord so scared
And when will I dare dare
To really think about it all
Because this way
Nothing will change
Nothing will change
Nothing will change at all
12. One For Them 2:45
I could never be them
Though my blood is just as red
And we all grieve our beloved
That end up just as dead
I can feel the anger
At the old atrocities
But I know it's not the same
Knowing it wouldn't have happened to me
And I'm no good with cheap sloganeering
About making dreams come true
The answer is somewhere at the foot of the cross
However hard we've tried to make it untrue
I remember McDuffie and how I had to stay home
Not understanding why because I also thought those cops were wrong
Until later I caught myself laughing at my friends' racist jokes
Me the adult white male, I finally grew up
And so the drugs enslave with the laws that imprison
State sponsored plantations disguised and hidden
And I don't want to fear a man anymore
But then when one of them knocks at my door
13. Antigod 2:32
Up front I say nothing is owed to me
And there's no doubt about God's power and love that be
I don't blame Satan if I make a wrong choice
I've got the Bible if I need God's voice
To be deserving of retribution
Is not religious persecution
If God has to do a job that He has for me
It's not a miracle, it's His mercy
Would you say
I'm anti-God these days?
Things I took for blessings turned out to be thorns
Things I took for fiery darts turned out to bless me more
I found I had to watch my prayers - they might come true
To make me grow I need to be broken too
Will I be happy to rejoice in His day?
Regardless of whatever comes my way?
After so many have run away?
In the face of all the doubt and pain?
Would you say
I'm anti-God these days?
Up front I say nothing is owed to me
No magic prayer carpets to prosperity
My highest hope is the martyr's death
God in His wisdom probably won't put me to that test
Would you say
I'm anti-God these days?
14. Another Liberation 3:22
He's freed me once again
From the mess I got myself in
How could I have ever thought
That He could ever give me up?
When He invested His life in me
When He looked ahead to me
Satan fought hard to bring me down
Jesus effortlessly brings me 'round
I was in the pit of my own thoughts
Heard the hellhounds, started feeling hot
I was crawling on the floor, I couldn't pray
Saw dark clouds over the rest of my days
Don't ask me how it happened, I did nothing
Don't know how I got above, I have no wings
When you hear "greater is He..." you'd best believe it
A power greater than me and the one who oppressed me
The one who oppressed me
It's another liberation
Once again
Will I fall again in days or weeks?
Will I fail again to run from the deceit?
If I do I hope I remember this day
When Jesus came and grabbed me as I ran away
Though I'm lukewarm, He'll stay the same
He's stuck with me, I have nothing to say
Falling over and over and over again
Look up from the floor and I'm pulled up again
I'm pulled up again
It's another liberation
One more time
He's freed me once again
From the mess I got myself in
How could I have ever thought
That He could ever give me up?
Though I'm lukewarm, He'll stay the same
He's stuck with me, I have nothing to say
Falling over and over and over again
Look up from the floor and I'm pulled up again
15. Serenity 2:36
No mother ever loved her child like mine
And what I realize now makes for a difficult time
We try our best with good intents but it's trial and error
Now we're left digging into ourselves for our terrors
I was not the most picked-on kid
But I sure hate a lot of people for a lot of things they did
Sometimes I think I'm still controlling the damage
That could drive me into realms of thought so savage
Serenity
I must decide my serenity
Some I love have now died
I won't regain those moments replace the times I didn't try
To be to them what I feel I should have been
Sometimes dreams just turn out to be dreams
And some things that were done to me
I know I turned around and I did to someone else
Who might now be hating or forgiving me
I have a Lord to follow I begin by forgiving myself
Enraged (EP, 2002, Independent) (Digital)
Tracks 6-10 haven't shown up anywhere on the internet, or at least I can't find them in this day and age. Plus, their time duration was never confirmed. They only appear to be selected tracks from the self-titled album. Can anyone explain this?
1. Enraged 2:55
There's going to be no more boredom, I'm going to cut my hair
After the men, women and children falling through the air
The monsters have landed on Maple Street
The lynch mobs marching off to their defeat
If I was young I would sign up for a gun
And it is I might just go out and buy one
No I can understand I could just kill a man
After sending in bombs to flatten his land
We never knew a life of faith never toughed it out
Now we're going to find out what it's all about
Looking everywhere in the water, in the air
The next shot is coming, but from where?
You hold a gun at my kid's head and what am I to do?
Could I wear a peace sign and to myself be true?
Oh, let the Mount of Olives tear and Wormwood poison from the air
Don't mind me, don't give me a car
I'm just enraged
"Allah" is crying as He looks down upon it all
The bridges between us will be the first to fall
Should the government have not stuck our nose everywhere?
Yes I think so but it's too late to go elsewhere
No we're committed blood flowing on our soil
Now we've been dragged back in like Michael Corleone
And I ask the peace movement where did you go?
When Clinton sent bombers into Kosovo
For all the terrorizing I'm not too terrified
I mourn for the loss of innocent lives
I should have mourned before, our bombers filled their skies
When it was none of our business when they were out of our lives
But the lives of the guilty are there to be taken
Striking precisely with an aim unshaken
Let the computers point, let the satellites fly
Let technology shield the homeland sky
I'm so enraged
Terror is but a weapon wielded by ideologies
Who have said it's either them or us
Don't want to fight a religion but some want to fight us
The future of freedom is starting to look tough
An enemy could be rid by becoming a friend
The lives that have suffered could be won in the end
For the thirst for freedom will never be slaked
The blood and darkness might give rise to a new day
2. Tony Montana 3:27
Los otros latinos tienen a Ricky y Carlos Santana
Pero nosotros un italiano llamado Cara Cortada
No hay raza ni orgullo no jugamos ese juegito
Tumbamos al mundo en los ochentas con el perico
Lo merecemos por echarnos arriba al del tabacon
Es la mejor idea aunque sea ficcion
Uno compra y uno sabe lo que de verdad es suyo
Tony Montana no me da orgullo
Vivimos en un continente que parece una isla
Apollamos sus ideales a veces pagado con ira
No tengas ilusiones yo no soy rehen
La guerra que existe es mia tambien
Yo solamente soy uno que busca libertad
No me importa de donde pero nadie la quiere dar
Prefieren robar a trabajar para lo que es suyo
Tony Montana no me da orgulla
Tony Montana que jarana tragate la banana
Que tiraron americanos que vinieron de Lantana
Armaremos nuestras balsas en el rio Potomac
Echando discos de Buena Vista Social Club
Hermanos al rescate perdiendo cuarenta anos
A correr, bayamesces, al ajeno extrano
Por los hijos mios y los hijos tuyos
Tony Montana no me da orgullo
3. New York Hate Of Mind 3:09
We go about our business
Statistics on our side
We wear our flags
Filled with national pride
Babies in their cribs
Envy of the world
Jet plane circling above
It's passed I am sure
Magazines in the mail
And nothing else
Saw a film at the mall
Still doing well
At least two counties away
At least for today
My eye's peeled anyway
Keeping muggers away
Everything seems so blind
New York hate of mind
Go to work
Show my card at the gate
Face on the wall
That disappeared on the date
His Spanish was perfect
So they say
Looking for the envelope
With his fake name
I'm an okay dad
I must explain
Not everything's clear
Evil often gets its way
While we ail from the sickness
We try hard to forget
Suck a blessed existence
We may realize it yet
Everything seems so blind
New York hate of mind
4. Sick To Myself 1:24
If the plane had crashed
Into the right kind of clinic
Or island government seat
Hello cynic
If the wrong makes it right
If the black makes it white
If the might takes a bite
If the left turns it right
I think I'm sick to myself
Nine one one
Could it be in everyone?
I fear in my lies
What a thing to realize
5. Coventry Carol (Lully Lullay) 5:10
Illumination (album)
1998, Cling Recordings (CD)
November 25, 2015, Remastered, Independent (Digital)
Track 9 is a remix of a few tracks from the previous albums, by Chris Dauphin and Marc Golob
1. Frankskanemy!/Codebasher 3:30
Two thousand years of opposition
Is the view that's held today
He's the cause of all wars
He's the author of all pain
No one will hear him out
He's the last minority
No one has a problem with Jesus Christ
Only those who invoke His name
All others have instant forgiveness
But he will have to pay
For the intolerant claims of salvation
Only attained in his one way
Two or three catchphrases will be
Enough to close most doors
Muted whispers of concern
For those who walk into his doors
Forever outside of the fashion culture
Around which the world revolves
Increasingly quaint and inscrutable
Are how his standards will be regarded
The cyanide laden Kool-Aid cup
Will be thrust into his hand
Amidst the laughter and the mockery
The time to make the stand
2. Face To Face Again 3:00
I'm so sorry I hurt you
And I must do it again
And it hurts me too
But I must do it
Half the time just want to crawl
And apologize
The other half feeling worse
From knowing I'm right
One misstep away
Every day on my game
I try too hard
To survive each day
I have lost touch with what I was
With the lie that it was
They say the pottery must break again
I'm not mad but I wonder when
And if it's never then this is it
Til the day of my grave's deliverance
The line remains there to be toed
Rejoice in the patience that will surely grow
I owe you so very much
That I cannot repay
I wish you'd see it
And let me have my one more way
You owe me that much
Owe me to let me pay
You always let me go
But I wanted to stay
3. Dysfunctional 1:31
Endless parade of gross perversions
Like pins pushed into my brain
However short-lived it may be
I remember the sweetness of the pain
Is the greater sin the act I committed
Or the lie later expressing disgust
That doesn't exist most of the time
A lack of morals or a lack of trust?
No more blood in my heart
Just concrete pouring in
Protection from conviction
Mortared by my sin
My face slowly turns to stone
No one gets inside
Now I have my secret place
Now I can hide
The white I wore in my dreams
Irrevocably blackened
Anger settling over my eyes
At finding myself lacking
I let them into my darkest halls
And I hate myself for it
They never knew as they overturned things
What was being destroyed
Replaying and reliving
The dark passages of my life
Smiling as I wreak the vengeance
I can never realize
My hands and eyes stay on me
I have made my choice
The big man I am inside
Will never use my voice
I make the lame excuses I heard before
And didn't tolerate
I look into the mirror
And what I see I surely hate
Wretch that I am
Who'll free me from the body of death
The answer's written in my stone
Waiting for my breath
4. Friends In The Skies 7:29
Everybody wants to make
Friends in the skies
Trying to ascend to
Planes of existence on high
Falling into trances
And trying to float away
Given up on earth and people
Headed for the astral plane
Certain of their help
To past civilizations
Ancient earth scattered with
Earth base stations
The angels aren't so far
They're in the mothership
Theirs is the power
They've been given lordship
And if there's life on other planets
Then we're sure that we must know
And they've been here once already
And will come back to save our souls
Friends in the skies
Kidnap me today
Friends in the skies
See you in my dreams
Friends in the skies
My ears are open
Friends in the skies
I'll spread your prophecies
Everybody wants to make
Friends in the skies
With radar dish beams
And interplanetary satellites
Before the planet collapses
Under the weight of man
In search of saviors
For an ultimate weapons ban
Ecstatic in the explanations
For the existence of God
And the sophisticated advancements
Rendering Him obsolete as Lord
The gods aren't so far
They're in the mothership
Theirs is the power
They'll be given worship
And if there's life on other planets
Then we're sure that we must know
And they've been here once already
And will come back to save our souls
Friends in the skies
Kidnap me today
Friends in the skies
See you in my dreams
Friends in the skies
My ears are open
Friends in the skies
I'll spread your prophecies
Everybody wants to make
Friends in the skies
Do they know they seek after
Something already familiarized
Sugar coated manifestations
Designed to achieve control
Of minds unsure and hungry
In their unacknowledged souls
A vibrant alternative
To the drab oppressive Church
Obtaining maximum experiences
With just a little work
The gods aren't so far
They're in the air all around
Theirs is the power
Since they were brought down
And if there's life on other planets
Then we're sure that we must know
And they've been here once already
And will come back to save our souls
Friends in the skies
Kidnap me today
Friends in the skies
See you in my dreams
Friends in the skies
My ears are open

Things I took for blessings turned out to be thorns
Things I took for fiery darts turned out to bless me more
I found I had to watch my prayers - they might come true
To make me grow I need to be broken too
Will I be happy to rejoice in His day?
Regardless of whatever comes my way?
After so many have run away?
In the face of all the doubt and pain?
Would you say
I'm anti-God these days?
Up front I say nothing is owed to me
No magic prayer carpets to prosperity
My highest hope is the martyr's death
God in His wisdom probably won't put me to that test
Would you say
I'm anti-God these days?
14. Another Liberation 3:22
He's freed me once again
From the mess I got myself in
How could I have ever thought
That He could ever give me up?
When He invested His life in me
When He looked ahead to me
Satan fought hard to bring me down
Jesus effortlessly brings me 'round
I was in the pit of my own thoughts
Heard the hellhounds, started feeling hot
I was crawling on the floor, I couldn't pray
Saw dark clouds over the rest of my days
Don't ask me how it happened, I did nothing
Don't know how I got above, I have no wings
When you hear "greater is He..." you'd best believe it
A power greater than me and the one who oppressed me
The one who oppressed me
It's another liberation
Once again
Will I fall again in days or weeks?
Will I fail again to run from the deceit?
If I do I hope I remember this day
When Jesus came and grabbed me as I ran away
Though I'm lukewarm, He'll stay the same
He's stuck with me, I have nothing to say
Falling over and over and over again
Look up from the floor and I'm pulled up again
I'm pulled up again
It's another liberation
One more time
He's freed me once again
From the mess I got myself in
How could I have ever thought
That He could ever give me up?
Though I'm lukewarm, He'll stay the same
He's stuck with me, I have nothing to say
Falling over and over and over again
Look up from the floor and I'm pulled up again
15. Serenity 2:36
No mother ever loved her child like mine
And what I realize now makes for a difficult time
We try our best with good intents but it's trial and error
Now we're left digging into ourselves for our terrors
I was not the most picked-on kid
But I sure hate a lot of people for a lot of things they did
Sometimes I think I'm still controlling the damage
That could drive me into realms of thought so savage
Serenity
I must decide my serenity
Some I love have now died
I won't regain those moments replace the times I didn't try
To be to them what I feel I should have been
Sometimes dreams just turn out to be dreams
And some things that were done to me
I know I turned around and I did to someone else
Who might now be hating or forgiving me
I have a Lord to follow I begin by forgiving myself
Enraged (EP, 2002, Independent) (Digital)
Tracks 6-10 haven't shown up anywhere on the internet, or at least I can't find them in this day and age. Plus, their time duration was never confirmed. They only appear to be selected tracks from the self-titled album. Can anyone explain this?
1. Enraged 2:55
There's going to be no more boredom, I'm going to cut my hair
After the men, women and children falling through the air
The monsters have landed on Maple Street
The lynch mobs marching off to their defeat
If I was young I would sign up for a gun
And it is I might just go out and buy one
No I can understand I could just kill a man
After sending in bombs to flatten his land
We never knew a life of faith never toughed it out
Now we're going to find out what it's all about
Looking everywhere in the water, in the air
The next shot is coming, but from where?
You hold a gun at my kid's head and what am I to do?
Could I wear a peace sign and to myself be true?
Oh, let the Mount of Olives tear and Wormwood poison from the air
Don't mind me, don't give me a car
I'm just enraged
"Allah" is crying as He looks down upon it all
The bridges between us will be the first to fall
Should the government have not stuck our nose everywhere?
Yes I think so but it's too late to go elsewhere
No we're committed blood flowing on our soil
Now we've been dragged back in like Michael Corleone
And I ask the peace movement where did you go?
When Clinton sent bombers into Kosovo
For all the terrorizing I'm not too terrified
I mourn for the loss of innocent lives
I should have mourned before, our bombers filled their skies
When it was none of our business when they were out of our lives
But the lives of the guilty are there to be taken
Striking precisely with an aim unshaken
Let the computers point, let the satellites fly
Let technology shield the homeland sky
I'm so enraged
Terror is but a weapon wielded by ideologies
Who have said it's either them or us
Don't want to fight a religion but some want to fight us
The future of freedom is starting to look tough
An enemy could be rid by becoming a friend
The lives that have suffered could be won in the end
For the thirst for freedom will never be slaked
The blood and darkness might give rise to a new day
2. Tony Montana 3:27
Los otros latinos tienen a Ricky y Carlos Santana
Pero nosotros un italiano llamado Cara Cortada
No hay raza ni orgullo no jugamos ese juegito
Tumbamos al mundo en los ochentas con el perico
Lo merecemos por echarnos arriba al del tabacon
Es la mejor idea aunque sea ficcion
Uno compra y uno sabe lo que de verdad es suyo
Tony Montana no me da orgullo
Vivimos en un continente que parece una isla
Apollamos sus ideales a veces pagado con ira
No tengas ilusiones yo no soy rehen
La guerra que existe es mia tambien
Yo solamente soy uno que busca libertad
No me importa de donde pero nadie la quiere dar
Prefieren robar a trabajar para lo que es suyo
Tony Montana no me da orgulla
Tony Montana que jarana tragate la banana
Que tiraron americanos que vinieron de Lantana
Armaremos nuestras balsas en el rio Potomac
Echando discos de Buena Vista Social Club
Hermanos al rescate perdiendo cuarenta anos
A correr, bayamesces, al ajeno extrano
Por los hijos mios y los hijos tuyos
Tony Montana no me da orgullo
3. New York Hate Of Mind 3:09
We go about our business
Statistics on our side
We wear our flags
Filled with national pride
Babies in their cribs
Envy of the world
Jet plane circling above
It's passed I am sure
Magazines in the mail
And nothing else
Saw a film at the mall
Still doing well
At least two counties away
At least for today
My eye's peeled anyway
Keeping muggers away
Everything seems so blind
New York hate of mind
Go to work
Show my card at the gate
Face on the wall
That disappeared on the date
His Spanish was perfect
So they say
Looking for the envelope
With his fake name
I'm an okay dad
I must explain
Not everything's clear
Evil often gets its way
While we ail from the sickness
We try hard to forget
Suck a blessed existence
We may realize it yet
Everything seems so blind
New York hate of mind
4. Sick To Myself 1:24
If the plane had crashed
Into the right kind of clinic
Or island government seat
Hello cynic
If the wrong makes it right
If the black makes it white
If the might takes a bite
If the left turns it right
I think I'm sick to myself
Nine one one
Could it be in everyone?
I fear in my lies
What a thing to realize
5. Coventry Carol (Lully Lullay) 5:10
Lully, lullah
Thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully, lullay
Thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully, lullay
O sisters too, how many we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we sing
Bye bye, lully, lullay
Herod the king, in his raging
Charged he hath this day
His men of might in his own sight
All young children to slay
That woe is me, poor child, for thee
And ever mourn and may
For thy parting neither say nor sing
Bye bye, lully, lullay

1. Submarine (Porno Para Ricardo cover) 3:11
Time to go
As soon as I finish up my submarine
And everyone that wants to go can come with me
Crazy old mother, crazy old mother, crazy old
Time to go, time to go
The Coast Guard's never going to catch me underwater
Gliding easy with the fishes and the lobster
Crazy old mother, crazy old mother, crazy old
Time to go on submarine
Never going to take the sub up to the surface
Or else the Griffin's going to chase us down and sink us
Crazy old mother, crazy old mother, crazy old
Time to go on submarine
And if the trip turns out to be short and efficient
I'll go back and rescue more of my fellow citizens
Crazy old mother, crazy old mother, crazy old
Time to go on submarine
We all leave in a yellow submarine

1. Enraged 2:52
There's going to be no more boredom, I'm going to cut my hair
After the men, women and children falling through the air
The monsters have landed on Maple Street
The lynch mobs marching off to their defeat
If I was young I would sign up for a gun
And it is I might just go out and buy one
No I can understand I could just kill a man
After sending in bombs to flatten his land
We never knew a life of faith never toughed it out
Now we're going to find out what it's all about
Looking everywhere in the water, in the air
The next shot is coming, but from where?
You hold a gun at my kid's head and what am I to do?
Could I wear a peace sign and to myself be true?
Oh, let the Mount of Olives tear and Wormwood poison from the air
Don't mind me, don't give me a car
I'm just enraged
"Allah" is crying as He looks down upon it all
The bridges between us will be the first to fall
Should the government have not stuck our nose everywhere?
Yes I think so but it's too late to go elsewhere
No we're committed blood flowing on our soil
Now we've been dragged back in like Michael Corleone
And I ask the peace movement where did you go?
When Clinton sent bombers into Kosovo
For all the terrorizing I'm not too terrified
I mourn for the loss of innocent lives
I should have mourned before, our bombers filled their skies
When it was none of our business when they were out of our lives
But the lives of the guilty are there to be taken
Striking precisely with an aim unshaken
Let the computers point, let the satellites fly
Let technology shield the homeland sky
I'm so enraged
Terror is but a weapon wielded by ideologies
Who have said it's either them or us
Don't want to fight a religion but some want to fight us
The future of freedom is starting to look tough
An enemy could be rid by becoming a friend
The lives that have suffered could be won in the end
For the thirst for freedom will never be slaked
The blood and darkness might give rise to a new day
After the men, women and children falling through the air
The monsters have landed on Maple Street
The lynch mobs marching off to their defeat

3. New York Hate Of Mind 3:07
We go about our business
Statistics on our side
We wear our flags
Filled with national pride
Babies in their cribs
Envy of the world
Jet plane circling above
It's passed I am sure
Magazines in the mail
And nothing else
Saw a film at the mall
Still doing well
At least two counties away
At least for today
My eye's peeled anyway
Keeping muggers away
Everything seems so blind
New York hate of mind
Go to work
Show my card at the gate
Face on the wall
That disappeared on the date
His Spanish was perfect
So they say
Looking for the envelope
With his fake name
I'm an okay dad
I must explain
Not everything's clear
Evil often gets its way
While we ail from the sickness
We try hard to forget
Suck a blessed existence
We may realize it yet
Everything seems so blind

11. Bring Our Drones Home 2:13
You ran as the messiah
But you did nothing
You just ate at the table that they set
While you were campaigning
Your symbols and your sycophants
Crown you emperor of spin
I hate to hear you pretend to lead
When you can't tell who to trust in
Bring our drones home
Leave us alone
Power to the people
But weakness to the state
That's never going to happen now
The lust for power's grown too great
The table you have set
And soon will leave behind
Will host the next hideous feast
And that was your biggest crime
Railing against the leviathans
When they only live through you
The long arm of the law only cut short
When in servitude to you
Your achievements like your innocent corpses
Collateral all the same
You should have been a caretaker
But you had to play the game
But you did nothing
You just ate at the table that they set
While you were campaigning
Your symbols and your sycophants
Crown you emperor of spin
I hate to hear you pretend to lead
When you can't tell who to trust in
Bring our drones home
Leave us alone
Power to the people
But weakness to the state
That's never going to happen now
The lust for power's grown too great
The table you have set
And soon will leave behind
Will host the next hideous feast
And that was your biggest crime
Railing against the leviathans
When they only live through you
The long arm of the law only cut short
When in servitude to you
Your achievements like your innocent corpses
Collateral all the same
You should have been a caretaker
But you had to play the game
12. Civil War II (Somewhere At The Foot Of The Cross) 2:20
Wars to end all wars
Do not trump the wars to end all laws
We'll carry our dead (the black and the blue)
Banners held high (popped cops and tools)
The grownups have all left the room
Eternal pissing contest, name your doom
Mindless laws turn men (back to cattle)
Inner Whiteman, inner Klansman (join the battle)
The answer's somewhere
The answer's somewhere
Solve it with slots
Solve it with fear
It will return
Wearing SWAT gear
Who'll be the first (to smile through tears)
Who'll be the first (to refuse fear)
The sword is calling you to come and die
You pull the trigger but what's on your mind?
Keep on shooting (bet what you hold dear)
You just keep on shooting (I'll just try to heal)
The answer's somewhere
At the foot of the Cross
The answer's somewhere
But it's getting lost
Do not trump the wars to end all laws
We'll carry our dead (the black and the blue)
Banners held high (popped cops and tools)
The grownups have all left the room
Eternal pissing contest, name your doom
Mindless laws turn men (back to cattle)
Inner Whiteman, inner Klansman (join the battle)
The answer's somewhere
The answer's somewhere
Solve it with slots
Solve it with fear
It will return
Wearing SWAT gear
Who'll be the first (to smile through tears)

The sword is calling you to come and die
You pull the trigger but what's on your mind?
Keep on shooting (bet what you hold dear)
You just keep on shooting (I'll just try to heal)
The answer's somewhere

The answer's somewhere
But it's getting lost

1. They Died With Their Masks On 1:14
Underneath
Faces so brave
Trace my face
With lines of rage
Patriot on patriot
Each stand the last
Revenge panic porn
Losers fall fast
2. Cold Civil War 0:49
No solution
No solution
No solution at all
No solution
No solution
Cold civil war
No solution
No solution
No solution at all
No solution
No solution
Cold civil war
My utopia your oppression
Your bounty my recession
Never to meet halfway there
I am the problem, you don't care
Fight not for colors
Fight not for kings
Fight not for room to live
Not for tangible things
Fight for states of mind
Fight for crowd control
Fight to inculcate
Hypothetical souls
No solution
No solution
No solution at all
No solution
No solution
Cold civil war
No solution
No solution
No solution at all
No solution
No solution
Cold civil war
3. Authoritarian Tools 0:12
Tools
Picked up by tools
ID'ing fools
Deserving rules
4. Constantinople And East Berlin 0:02
Build the wall
To keep them out
Now the wall
Will keep you in
5. It's Coming, We're Going 0:20
I will kiss the face you punch
You will tell me I'm not well
My fellow Americans
Tell me kindly go to hell
What difference does it make
When every question is a take
Conformity cheered
Altars built of fear
6. Deserving Bombed 0:12
Deserving rich
Bringitonbringitonbringitonbringitonbringiton
Deserving poor
Bringitonbringitonbringitonbringitonbringiton
Deserving less
Bringitonbringitonbringitonbringitonbringiton
Deserving more
Bringitonbringitonbringitonbringitonbringiton
7. DIY-O-GFY 2:50
Tell the truth
Cross your tooth
Cloak of care
Mask of dare
All is done
Job is one
Root it out
And pile on
DIY
GFY
Gave yourself
There is no try
DIY
GFY
Think again
One and one makes lie
8. Capitalism World 4:02
You do not want me
But I will introduce myself
Dressed like Che Guevara
With a CEO's wealth
Goalposts on my back
But the game stays the same
The currency will change
But transactions will remain
Whatever you imagine
Is whatever it will take
Whatever you call truth
Is whatever can be baked
Prepare to buy and sell
No matter what your hell
In the race to rise above
Doesn't matter what you love
Ain't you doomed to be blessed to live
Ain't you blessed to be doomed to live
In my capitalist world
In my natural world
In my fallen world
No one ever in possession
Of everything they need
They must buy with money
Or earn with fealty
Profit not always dollars
Greed not always for wealth
Spiritual capital priced out
For home and food and health
Pretend it's invented
Pretend that it was forced
Force a cosplay revolution
But you know who's in control
Of the currency of coins
And the currency of votes
Currency of compliance
Commodity of staying afloat
Ain't you doomed to be blessed to live
Ain't you blessed to be doomed to live
In my capitalist world
In my natural world
In my fallen world
Things will never be
The way you think they should
Every master picks a master
Master picks a victimhood
Cronies taking the high places
Constructing the safe spaces
Together standing tall
Until the day I make you fall
Underneath all the labels
They're ignoring all the fables
The glorious class struggle
Is just one more reshuffle
Another bankruptcy
And another restructure
New flags are flying
They're saluted by the vultures
Ain't you doomed to be blessed to live
Ain't you blessed to be doomed to live
In my capitalist world
In my natural world
In my fallen world
Ain't you doomed to be blessed to live
Ain't you blessed to be doomed to live
In my capitalist world
In my natural world
In my fallen world
Ain't you doomed to be blessed to live
Ain't you blessed to be doomed to live
In my capitalist world
In my natural world
In my fallen world
9. Right To Hate 2:01
You have the right to hate
And not be put away
And they to hate back
Free from deadly attack
The contents of your brain
Labelled a crime
Gather up the votes
Turn it to your time
It's a sin to hate
Not a crime to hate
To just sit back and wait
For the appointed date
Claim your right to hate
Before you act on hate
Think of those who you'd see die
Forever being enshrined
10. At War For Science 0:15
Galileo Galilei
Lies a-moldering in his grave
His truth is on life support
Consensuses fire retorts
My experts can beat up yours
Killed by guns which yours whored for
At the mercy of the death counters
Throw up crap that rebounders
Science is opinion
Science is religion
11. Herod 7:06
Listen to the children dying, Herod
Listen to the children die
Nobody questions the
Predestination of
Precious percentage set
For annihilation for
The latest despot of
God's chosen nation that
Forsook sacrifice for
Another incantation
Listen to the children dying, Herod
Listen to the children die
Night pathway fled they
Tight south to Egypt way
And those behind did stay
To darkness of the day
Later what did they pray?
And in their olden days
Thirty-odd years away
Did they come face to His face?
Listen to the children dying, Herod
Listen to the children die
Did they know that it was
For Him their own were torn?
The Son's face before them
Could it have been their own?
If they knew that somehow
That they died in His place
Would they accept that He
Would then go die in their place?
Listen to the children dying, Herod
Listen to the children die
12. Badass 2:39
This world thinks it's a badass
This world thinks it's a troll
Presidents and oppositions
Two halves of the same hole
Speak loudly but don't try
Signal virtue and get on by
Everyone's punk or so they vie
Tossing memes out soon to die
Shade to the atheists
Quicken their condemnation
A shade for a shade
Hastening the desolation
The royal handlebar 'staches
Played their garden parties well
Blind to five years later
Everybody took the L
Conquest is conquered
The victory rings hollow
Governments in bankruptcy
Seek force to replace follow
You think you're badass
You think you're savage
You're really just afraid
Like all of us who would ravage
This world thinks it's a badass
This world thinks it's a troll
Scientists and politicians
In the robes of priests and popes
You think you're badass
You think you're savage
You're really just afraid
Like all of us who would ravage
13. History Counts The Bodies 0:23
The only side of history
For all of us is six feet deep
Two sides to eternity
Promises to keep
History counts the bodies
Jesus counts the souls
Regardless of theologies
And pretense of control
14. The Last President 3:47
Do you remember your mother's face
The children read on forgetting their place
Walking the aisles, avoiding the eyes
Flatscreens declaring the truths from the lies
Minds over masks closed to unease
I find I lose track of the latest disease
The empty trains are all running on time
Science mouths spells while the world falls in line
And the last president a death mask made of clay
Words like self evident just edgy things to say
And the first documents got amended away
And the hands of the free clenching cold in the grave
And the last president a death mask made of clay
And the new parliament courts with an unseen face
Sit with nothing to do just to wait for the day
When all the secret things are shouted from Hades

The World Left (single, June 23, 2021, Independent) (Digital)
1. The World Left 2:14
The world left me
Good riddance I say
I hate the world left
I hate the world they made
I don't expect a thing
Don't expect to trust
The world left the child
Nothing but unjust
Left to scroll doom
Squint for some light
Breaking fake news
Everything is alright
The Terrible Days (They Lied With Their Masks On) (single, June 23, 2021, Independent) (Digital)
1. The Terrible Days (TLWTMO) 2:20
I can't
Trust again
Waiting to fly
Into the Son
Those cell towers
They're really walls
We've locked ourselves
In toilet stalls
When I go
Nothing to show
But unused
Suicide notes
Dark Summer (The Sun Relentlessly Shines) (single, December 9, 2021, Independent) (Digital)
1. Dark Summer (The Sun Relentlessly Shines) 3:12
I can feel my death
Stirring within me
I cannot bear it
Unmasked toxicity
A dull pain
Between my brows
Face goes numb
Eyes go down
And the sun relentlessly shines
And the sun relentlessly blinds
Even in the night
Even in the night
Even in the night
The sun relentlessly shines
The sun relentlessly blinds
So this is it
Whirlwind is reaped
I can feel
But I cannot see
Dry run of hell
Little purgatory
I can live
But I cannot be
And the sun relentlessly shines
And the sun relentlessly blinds
Even in the night
Even in the night
Even in the night
The sun relentlessly shines
The sun relentlessly blinds
Even in the night
Even in the night
Even in the night
I Don't Want To Hate (single, December 9, 2021, Independent) (Digital)
1. I Don't Want To Hate 2:11
Who fed the red pill the wokeflake
Everybody wants somebody dead today
Some race some color some creed
Equals a criminal misdeed
I don't want to live like this
I don't want to hate
I don't want to live like this
I don't want to hate
Seven billion revolutions
Playing out in seven billion souls
Social media corporations
Playing government with control
I don't want to live like this
I don't want to hate
I don't want to live like this
I don't want to hate
I just want your greater good
My friends and my neighbor
But we can't agree on what that is
There's seven billion saviors
Accusing seven billion Satans
Depending on the eyes in your head
Someone's coming for you tomorrow
To save you or leave you dead
I don't want to live like this
I don't want to hate
I don't want to live like this
I don't want to hate
I don't want to live like this
I don't want to hate
I don't want to live like this
I don't want to hate

5. Postmortem (Expecting To Live) 3:40
As for me
As for me
As for me
As for me, I expected to live
As for me
As for me
As for me
Expected I would not die
As for me
As for me
As for me
As for me, I expect to live
As for me
As for me
Expect to live on the day that I died
All the good faith is going bad
All the happy has gotten sad
All the knowledge becoming dumb
All the feelings becoming numb
All the science becoming faith
All the love is becoming hate
All the truths are becoming lies
All that lives is becoming dry
Gonna take your world and shove it
It's gonna take your life and love it
It's gonna take your tongue and cut it
It's gonna take your mind and numb it
It's gonna break your will and mold it
It's gonna take your son and scold them
It's gonna break your arm and pump it
It's gonna take your corpse and dump it
It's the class of the new warfare
It's a past that has never dared
Freedom needing a lot of rules
Knowledge needing a lot of fools
A takedown for the common good
A breakdown of the crops and food
A fake pope in a white coat lab
Best present that we could not have had
Forcing decrees for the public and health
Build factories for the private man's wealth
Aristocracy unseen and playing with evil
Masked charity in the chains of the devil
When the weapons of masked instruction go
No hope left for reconstruction to show
Institutions self-destructing go one by one
No justice left, only retribution

We're Not Going To Agree (single, May 4, 2023, Independent) (Digital)
1. We're Not Going To Agree 3:12
Tell me how you love him
Says the quiet parts out loud
Lips and teeth and tongue to
Make a mommy's boy feel proud
Your existence justified
Your persistence in your mind
And oh how he fell in line
When it was for real time
They said liberty good-bye
And he nodded from behind
Preen away you must align
Otherwise you surely die
Now a rearrangement
Of the old derangement
Wisdom is estrangement
I don't expect an amen
Tell me how you hate him
But you really need him
Greatest punching back that
Made you feel so needed
Your existence justified
Your resistance in your mind
And oh how you fell in line
Instigating suicides
Radically formed in line
While your people took the dive
Pining for your latest lie
Otherwise they surely die
Save me white savior
Where do I go fund you
See me I am shot and masked
Where do I go run to
Tell me how you praise him
Where did he grab you
Are you Samuel to Saul
Where did he stab you
Like a fallen star he came
Took the flag took your brain
And oh how you fell in line
No one's perfect all the time
He was told all of your hates
And he tried to get them straight
Tell the truth but always lie
Otherwise it surely dies
You know all about jealous gods
You know all about prophets false
You know how to forgive a wrong
You know how to turn off a song
Let's Genocide (single, October 29, 2023, Independent) (Digital)
1. Let's Genocide 1:57
Shoot the body cam
Droning nukies levitating on their land
New Afghanistan, button's in their hand
Scope out the android 'cause it's time for vengeance
Target color folding chair against the bone
TikTok dancer on their bloody carpet throne
Sons and daughters clean their brains up off their phones
Punch down
Pound on the clown
Classed and labeled gender race and place
The real hatred only goes one way
Violent oppression just a turn to take
No sleeping safe with your children on this quiet day
All we hear let's genocide
All we cheer their cyanide
All they fear they're first to die
Feed rot gut, be blown dust
All we hear let's genocide
All we cheer their cyanide
All they fear they're first to die
Feed rot gut, be blown dust
Imagine there's no they, it isn't hard to do
Apostolic genocide sure worked out like hell for you
Smoke shroom go boom fortnight goes dark
With melted teeth you won't bite any snark
Godzilla commies sus with your moolah
Giving birth with Satan as the doula
Getting crueler
If we get invaders
Half of us are going to be collaborators
All we hear let's genocide
All we cheer their cyanide
All they fear they're first to die
Feed rot gut, be blown dust
All we hear let's genocide
All we cheer their cyanide
All they fear they're first to die
Feed rot gut, be blown dust
Problematic (single, February 2, 2024, Independent) (Digital)
1. Problematic 3:01
If you met in one place
Talked face to face
No reason why it couldn't
End in an embrace
Words that you say
Try to change my game...
If I took up your hate
Achieved some passing good
Scorching holy ground
Where you and I once stood
Sure as Saul riding
To Damascus coul
(Be certain pre-hurting)
Problematic you tell me
Once there was a family
Once we loved our enemies
Right side of history might be
Wrong side of Heaven and of me
Rather not be judged
It's a chance I'll have to take
Demonized demonetized
Beclowned as fake
Jesus just a banner
That they wave these days
Kingdom preparing for
One last plague
I look all I see are
Your locked-down souls
The Blood it has the power
But the Bleeder cedes control
See you in Heaven
Though you might say no
(Can we laugh at this past)
Problematic you tell me
Once there was a family
A different identity
Right side of history might be
Wrong side of Heaven and of me
Problematic went astray
Til our dying flying day
When we get taken away
Right side of history might be
Wrong side of Heaven and of me
Postmerican (single, September 7, 2024, Independent) (Digital)
1. Postmerican 2:50
Once they were found they got lost
Virtue signals crossed men of faith who cannot trust
Men of love who can only lust
The payment's big, you see your children being lost
Led millions into action
Now the posts just don't get any traction
Left alone nothing left to meme
Fell asleep and forgotten how to dream
Once we sang sh-boom to our daughters
Now we can't even tell if we ought to
Or if we've got to
No vaccine left for this infection
Cancel my subscription to the insurrection
...It's all gone away
...It's all gone to stay
By the rivers of Babylon we sit around and pray
Postmerican
Going away
Fear the other side
Tell the truth and make it sound like half a lie
Everything dies comebacks on demand
Demand still there after you binge it to the end
Gaslight of the world forever reigning
Bury you in riddles without explaining
Now it seems to breathe is to defy
When all you wanted out of life was your life
...It's all gone away
...It's all gone to stay
By the rivers of Babylon we sit around and pray
Postmerican we're going away
Postpartum we're going away
Postmerican we're going away
Post party we're going away
