YOUR BLOOD FIRST
Lyrics: McKittrick
Music: Kamburov
You ride to the break of morning light
A pack of wolves upon your heels
The tension rising
A time to act, not to feel
Gears within the cycle turning
Souls yearning for deliverance
Deadly karmic wheel
A time to leave the plow in the field
A time to take up gun and steel
If the tree of liberty seeks my sacrifice
I'll slake its thirst on your blood first
We are not slaves or vacant beasts
We are men of blood and steel
Upon our flesh the parasite would feed
The bleeding heart of empire's thrall
Roots within the soil churning
No asking for forgiveness
Seeding our black fate
We sever this binding link
The chain to sovereign womb
Set free to propagate
Your progeny turns from sire in patricide
True to the cause for which we fight
We'll not bend, break or kneel
The ash of cities burning
A time of strife and zeal
Flash of new stars dawning
Sun's burning luminescence
Distant now seems real
A time to leave the plow in the field
A time to take up gun and steel
If the tree of liberty seeks my sacrifice
I'll slake its thirst on your blood first

WETIKO
Lyrics: McKittrick
Music: Kamburov
A ravenous hunger
Can't fill the void
Insatiable thirsting
Never fulfilled
Lupine shadow within
Red in claw
Voracious greed
Nature guided by need
Tormented, Your own desire gives birth to hell
Inflicted, Sickness within your shell
Wetiko, cancer of the soul
Urge to consume dominates all
Wetiko, virus of the mind
Famished master of the pit
The cold gaze of murder
Need to release
Incurable sickness
Corrupted core
Extinguish light within
What has been
No humanity left
Animal in its stead
Tormented, Your own desire gives birth to hell
Inflicted, Sickness within your shell
Wetiko, cancer of the soul
Urge to consume dominates all
Wetiko, virus of the mind
Famished master of the pit

MISERY
Lyrics: McKittrick
Music: Kamburov
Never the mirror of my mind
Just sufficient at the time
My error was to bind
Upon your need crucified
Buried deep inside of me
Your dark seeds of misery
What did I expect for you to be
Inamorata of an era
Something that I'd wished to see
Bleeding all the life from me
All that was given
Can't be reclaimed
All that was given
Buried deep inside of me
Your dark seeds of misery
Buried deep with me
Your dark seeds of misery
Misery
All that was given
Can't be reclaimed
All that was given

SHADOW DANCING
Lyrics: McKittrick
Music: Kamburov
Shear it off and cast away
No need to carry dead weight
Not here to make amends
Actions that I'll not defend
Bleed the guilt to move beyond
No care for who's been wronged
Just dancing with my shadow
Content to go it alone
No need to lean on friends
Actions that I'll not defend
Bleed the guilt to move beyond
Still here while the rest are gone
Name your pain to give it form
Built within this nest of scorn
We create our own hell
And crush all in our wake
I can't see a way
Back from here
Shear it off and cast away
No need to carry dead weight
Not here to make amends
Actions that I'lll not defend
Bleed the guilt to move beyond
Who cares for who's been wronged
Name your pain to give it form
Built within this nest of scorn
We create our own hell
And crush all in our wake
I can't see a way
Back from here

SLEEP AND DREAM
Lyrics: McKittrick
Music: Kamburov
Under a waning star
Lies a hollow earth
The red in the sky
Presages the coming gloom
No prayers escape our lips
Worship only decay
Smile as the noose slips
Let the dread chord play
We eat of the lotus
As it all slips away
We didn't notice
The dying of the day
Sleep and dream
Sleep and decay
Raise sails and plot our course
Towards distant shores
Look back and feel remorse
Sleep under strange new stars
No prayers escape our lips
Worship only decay
Smile as the noose slips
Let the dread chord play
This strange new sorrow
From nightmare slithers
No time to borrow
The season of wither
Sleep and dream
Sleep and decay

METAL MERCHANTS
Anderson / Shoemaker
Conquering and pillaging our metal it will stand
The mighty metallion will be heard across the land
In the end aren't we all animals and leather is the word
So welcome to the human zoo where metal can be heard
Metal Merchants
Metal Merchants
Conquering and pillaging unleashed and let go
Death to modern music and to all who oppose
We'll blacken eyes of their severed heads
Dismember them at night
We'll shove our metal down their throats
And show them who is right
Metal Merchants
Metal Merchants
Bang your head against the stage
Throw, throw your fist up in the air
Don't worry their downgrading of our leather and long hair
Thrusting with a vengeance
Now we know just what they are
We're all Metal merchants and there ain't no fucking stars
Metal Merchants
Metal Merchants
