King of The Wasteland

I'll be the king of the wasteland
If I keep fighting the war
I'll be the king of the wasteland
Yea if I can just keep on fighting
Keep on fighting
Keep on fighting...
I'll be the lord of the nothing
When nothing's left to be gained
I'll be the lord of the nothing
If I can just be the last man standing
Last man standing
Last man standing...
What good is the money
Without a world to spend it in
I'll be a god in the rubble
When rubble's all that remains
I'll be a god in the rubble
I'll speak the last words to ghosts and angels
Ghosts and angels
Ghosts and angels...
What good is the money
Without a world to spend it in
I'll be the king of the dust
I'll be the king of the dust
I'll be the king of the dust
I'll be the king of the dust
I'll be the king of the dust
I'll be the king of the dust
I'll be the king of the dust
We're on fire!
We're on fire!
We're on fire!
We're on fire!
What good is the money
Without a world to spend it in
What good is the money
Without a world to spend it in
What good is the money
Without a world to spend it in

The Dancing Plague
04:13
|

|
Self abuse feels so enlightening
Divine release from up above
The void enjoys its weekend custody
And does its best to buy your love
With a sideways glance and a pat on the ass
And a little hit of dopamine
I just want to feel
Something other than my life
Being crushed inside the vice
The world's engulfed in flames
So we're dancing on our graves
To try and pass the time
It's okay to cry
When smoke gets in your eyes
Bored reading our own obituaries
The bottle holds the genie well
His anesthesia's what the people need
To keep on working in this hell
If you work hard enough you'll get employee of the month
And win a gift card to Applebees
I just want to feel
Something other than my life
Being crushed inside the vice
The world's engulfed in flames
So we're dancing on our graves
To try and pass the time
It's okay to cry
When smoke gets in your eyes
I hate this place
Nothing works here
I've been here 35 years
The medications don't work
I hate this place
Nothing works here
I've been here 35 years
The medications don't work
I hate this place
Nothing works here
I've been here 35 years
The medications don't work
I just want to feel
Something other than my life
Being crushed inside the vice
The world's engulfed in flames
So we're dancing on our graves
To try and pass the time
It's okay to cry
When smoke gets in your eyes

I tried to trade the war for a boat and a beer
This plastic grave for a hand written note from a past life
They tell us we're being naive
That nobody cares if we bleed
Despite their advice we believe
That its still a beautiful world
We listen close to spirits that pace in the hallway
In strange refrains they promise to stay with is always
They tell us we're being naive
That nobody cares what we need
Don't listen to them just believe
That its still a beautiful world

Weight of The World
03:37

I want you to know
The weight of the world
The pain that you've caused
The fear of the fall
You know what you've done
You know what you've done
I want you to lose
Something you love
The call of the void
The taste of your blood
You'll figure it out
You'll figure it out
I hope you spend the rest of your life
Checking over your shoulder
For the sword of Damocles to drop
I want you to see
The fruit of your toil
Slip from your grasp
Turn into ash
You know that you're damned
You know that you're damned

Big Stick Energy

You always carried a big stick
You never learned to speak softly
You always carried a big stick
You never learned to speak softly
And look how far you've come
Look how far you've come
You're never too scared to taste blood
When fear is all you're afraid of
You're never too scared to taste blood
When fear is all you're afraid of
And look how far you've come
Look how far you've come
And look how far you've come
Look how far you've come
I used to think if I always
If I always did what was right
I'd be alright
I used to think if I always
If I always did what was right
I'd be alright
I used to think if I always
If I always did what was right
I'd be alright
I used to think if I always
If I always did what was right
I'd be alright

The Myth of Sisyphus
06:21
|
|||
|
I'm unmoved by evidence
Unswayed by truth or right
These are just distractions from my task
Like the myth of Sisyphus
I rise from bed each day
For another dollar to be made
I know all I'm worth
Is what the market bears
If I don't rock the boat I'll get what's fair
This is all there is
All I've ever known
I don't think on politics
They don't affect my life
They're just games that wealthy people play
I don't like outsiders in
My tiny little world
There's too much I'm scared they'll take away
I'm afraid they might
Be just like me too
'Cause I know all the fucked up things I do
This is all there is
All I've ever known
If I ever make it to the top of the mountain
I'll say "Thank you for the boulder."
If I ever make it to the top of the maountain
I'll say "May I have another."
If I ever make it to the top of the mountain
I'll say "Thank you for the boulder."
If I ever make it to the top of the maountain
I'll say "May I have another."

You found me
When I was underwater
You opened up my eyes
You promised
That it would be so easy
Then you showed me
Exactly where I could sign
You really stepped in it this time
Don't ever let them see your true eyes
You sold me
A dream I wanted dearly
My eyes were dollar signs
You said with
Only a small investment
No indulgence
Would need ever be declined
You really stepped in it this time
Don't ever let them see your true eyes
When you walked me through your door
Said "This could all be yours,"
"Don't worry anymore."
But then, as my payday neared
Life savings on the line
You up and disappeared

Mission From God
04:52

You gotta break a few eggs sometimes
I'll break a hundred eggs
I'll break your legs
It's time to change the world
No one asked me to do this
They wouldn't know how to ask
I know what they need
I'm on a mission from god
I'm on a mission from god
They say a hard rain's gonna fall
And wash the gutter clean
I'm not waiting anymore
I am the rain machine
If they knew what I know
They'd have done it themselves years ago
I am inevitable
I'm on a mission from god
I'm on a mission from god
I'm on a mission from god
I'm on a mission from god
I'm on a mission from god
I'm on a mission from god

a band that definitely developed with my musical preferences. while their earlier releases had a hardcore attitude, this is where they delved into low tuned atonal and dissonant extreme metal madness. this record shaped my future musical taste in so many ways and after all this time I am still loving it

A fascinating mash-up of jazz sensibility with Krautrock motorik on an album that mesmerizes with repetition.
