Inigo Montoya

My father was slaughtered by a six fingered man
He, a great sword maker, my father really was
Then the six fingered man wanted a special sword
So he slaved for a year before it was finished
When the six fingered man returned and asked for it
He said he would only pay ten percent of it
Even though they'd agreed it was worth ten times more
So I think you'd agree my father couldn't sell
So when he could not leave with the sword
He killed my father in cold blood
So when I meet this six fingered man
I will take this sword and I will say
Hello my name is Inigo
Montoya,
You killed my father
Prepare to die
I challenged this man
As a boy and failed
He left my face scared
As a reminder
I cannot forget what he has done
He killed my father in cold blood
So when I meet this six fingered man
I will take this sword and I will say
Hello my name is Inigo
Montoya,
You killed my father
Prepare to die
So offer me money offer me anything
So offer me power offer me anything
So ask me what I want, offer me everything
So ask me what I want, want more than anything
[Gap]
Well I want my father back you son of a bitch
I want my father back you son of a bitch
I want my father back you son of a bitch
I want my father back you son of a bitch

Crimes of Fashion
04:48

Blind
everything you find
live inside your mind
There it would be kinder
Bite
Utilize your might
Undermine your sight
So no one can frighten
You
Everything you do
To escape what's "true"
All you have been through for
All
They would have you fall
and you hear their call
Thrown against the wall for
Crimes... of... Fashion
Wipe... your... mind
Have... no... passion
Wipe... your... kind
Dread
Living in your head
Twisting all you've said
Unravelling the thread of
Lies
So called family ties
Binding arms and thighs
Gagging all your cries for
Hope
Wash your mouth with soap
Filth is when you cope
Tightening the rope and
Break
Bonds of their mistake
You should never take
Their bright world is fake
Crimes... of... Fashion
Wipe... your... mind
Have... no... passion
Wipe... your... kind
Run for your life
Save your mind
Find your kind
Don't embrace
Their fake world
their way of life
Is death inside
So don't turn
Into their type
Empty hype
Fills their dreams
And empty lives

Fallen

From the Burning Hells - Demons exalted - Serving Azmoden - The lord of sin
We the instruments - Hands of Azmoden - Failed our mission for - the Lord of sin
We were to usurp - power and betray - mighty Diablo - Lord of Terror
Failing miserably - we were contorted - twisted savagely - into this form
Impish, dwarven like - clumsy, top-heavy - red-skinned, ugly and - blue-skinned sometimes
Comic perversion - cruel and torturous - so far fallen from - former glory
We fall - We rise - We run - We fight
Why do I carry a scroll of identify?
But more perplexingly;
Why do I carry a scroll of Town portal?
With no invasion imminent!
Pukerat the unclean and Bongo and Snotspill and Bladeskin the Slasher, are some of our greats
But the best of what's left of us are Rakinishu, and Colenzo
From the Burning Hells - Demons exalted - Serving Azmoden - The lord of sin
We the instruments - Hands of Azmoden - Failed our mission for - the Lord of sin
We were to usurp - power and betray - mighty Diablo - Lord of Terror
Failing miserably - we were contorted - twisted savagely - into this form
Impish, dwarven like - clumsy, top-heavy - red-skinned, ugly and - blue-skinned sometimes
Comic perversion - cruel and torturous - so far fallen from - former glory
We fall but fight again
Raised by our shamans to swarm
For we kill but yield no experience
At least not the second or third time
Pukerat the unclean and Bongo and Snotspill and Bladeskin the Slasher, are some of our greats
But the best of what's left of us are Rakinishu, and Colenzo
From the Burning Hells - Demons exalted - Serving Azmoden - The lord of sin

Zero Co-ordinates

Fall though -- blindly -- through the -- opening
White void -- between -- all that -- there is
Travel -- from the -- place that -- you know
Sewers -- of space -- stopping -- heat death
Fly through -- wildly -- into -- zero
No space - a place -- between -- both space
Transit -- before -- numbers -- invert
Navcom -- will not -- like this -- one bit.
Universal entropic exhaust through charged vacuum emboitment
Only calculable through block transfer computation
Take me through the CVE
Build using BTC
N is black and E is green
With white void in between
Logopolitan calculations and sums
Gave you the universe past 1981

Birth of a Bastard
05:20
|

C1:
Born... in hell to raise it
Spat out in a purple ooze
in front of Satan, daemons,
cultists, and pterodactyls...
Born.... In hell to praise it
Through an epic battle
Of alien squids and
crystallised terror factions
I... was... sent... to ...
earth.... To... conquer
Reshape... history
Not... To... Concur
C2:
Birth of a bastard
Birth of a demon spawn
Birth of a bastard
Birth of a super villain
Birth of a Bastard
Birth of an evil genius
Birth of a Bastard
Birth of the end of Earth
Joined the revolution
For exposed bosom
Served with Napoleon
Grew to thirty feet tall
Killed so many red-coats
Till my flesh was shredded
Drowned out in the ocean
By Nelson and Wellesley
Chorus 1
I... lost... half... my...
Face... and... stole.... Some...
Port... and... or... rum...
From... Poseidon ...
Chorus 2
Spent some years a pirate
Like a really big one
Till Poseidon found me
and tore off my whole face
Then the Leviathan
Swallowed me whole to take
Me to Hell my real home
Over several years though
So I built a small town
Ran it like a tyrant
Made some beer from humans
Till the still exploded
Back to hell I trained with
Hellyoda the wicked
Some other crap happened
Then god punched my head off
Chorus 2

turn your head for a minute - and you could miss a war
turn your head for a second - and you could miss your chance to save a life
block your ears and close your eyes - filter out all the bad news
shut down your senses to do a better job of doing your part
and never question the integrity behind always looking the other way
vote one veiwing nothing - another candidate with his own applause sign
two finger wave meaning peace... ...or victory
systematic problems - problematic systems - sanctions as reactions
cannot assume resbonsibility over ones own actions
and never question the security behind being left behind to "clean" things up
if it aint broke don't fix it
knowing not the problem will surly help insure that
don't fight sit down
knowing all the problems you couldn't really help us
so never question the integrity of the master plan
close your eyes for a second - you closed your eyes for the first
seal your brain inside that pocket to avoid internal conflict
and put on a happy face with complete sensory shut down
you have no enemies when you know nothing
so never question when it starts rain ash instead of snow
turn your head and wait - we'll tell you when it's safe to turn around
so wait and wait and wait... -don't worry, we'll tell you
some things just take a while - and somethings just take a life time
good things come to those who wait - and wait and wait untill they die
Turn your head for a second
turn your head for a minute
turn your head for a day
turn your head for a week

know the rules so why be confused
you bend the rules it's a simple fact of life
so bleed for me

redifine what is true to credit the lie
to push the lie to elivate the ruse
and burry the truth beneth your transitions
set yourself free - burn the leeches
sever the conection - disconect...
the parasidic advertising war machine
the first degree will set you free
if your idea of free
is being controlled
by everyone but you
the second degree will make you cool
in your idea of cool
is being controlled
by everyone but you
this our way you will not fight it
unless you buy our rebellion against it
and even then you'll accept it in the end
and that's how they get a grip on you
set yourself free - burn the leeches
sever the conection - disconect...
the parasidic advertising war machine
there's only one place to be
beyond the first two degrees
it's been denied
overclassified
told it's a lie
sliced up like pie
advertised as guided point of view
buy the same people that controll you
the first degree will set you free
if your idea of free
is being controlled
by everyone but you
the second degree will make you cool
in your idea of cool
is being controlled
by everyone but you
there's only one place to be
beyond the first two degrees
it's been denied
overclassified
told it's a lie
sliced up like pie
advertised as guided point of view
buy the same people that controll you
find something good
find something wholesome and true
and the colon vampire sucks it dry
and takes it away from you
find something good
find something wholesome and true
and the colon vampire sucks it dry
and takes it away from you

I'm as Shocked as You
04:32
|

watching it rest and curl up at your feet
all the power in the world for one nights sleep
put one thing in and another thing's due
put my brain in a box and offer it to you
i'm as shocked as you
seal it with a bow in the middle
pretty wrap hides very little
you can run but you can't become
usless gestures just prolong the outcome
i'm as shocked as you
crimes of compassion - call it good intention
something else i forgot to mention
put it down to a nosy inspector
lie to a belife detector
i'm as shocked as you
no rest for the wicked minded
know your addiction if you can find it
it you can fight it you can recite it
wrap it in a book and then sign it
i'm as shocked as you

chase it - catch it - kill it
chase it - catch it - kill it
drink the blood of the earth
brown water red skies
and rivers of colesterole
it's all a trip to the end of the world
it's all a trip through our own intestines
catch it - kill it - eat it
catch it - kill it - eat it
eat the animals that graze our streets
that die in our freezers
that mutate in our chests
it's all a crunch between two cars
it's all a crunch between our teeth
kill it - eat it - excrete it
kill it - eat it - excrete it
pour a glass of motor oil
satisfy you thirst - quench your hunger
there's your problem right there
it's all a swim in the belly of the ocean
it's all a swim in the ocean of our bellies
eat it - excrete it - refine it
eat it - excrete it - refine it
seize an island in the name of democracy
seize an island in the name of your mother
take what you need to sell
can what you don't need to eat just yet
'cause it's all sale in the green balloon
excrete it - refine it - chase it
refine it - chase it - catch it
chase it - catch it - kill it
chase it - catch it - kill it

There...
be a ship Fierce and dark
Dispensing Mist and awe
Giant eyes Glowing red
Above a Giant maw
Believed to be a sea beast
Moves under a vale of mist
Preying on ships passing by
Horns and teeth protrude and twist
Don't... get... your.. Ship... caught... in... it's ... jaws...
Five...
times the crew Await you
Armed and drunk They're bad news
So have you No chance to
Defend your Gold and booze
Hell-cannons Point at you
Better find A chaplain
To confess But there's more
Beware the Six captains
Burgundy Pete has two hooks
Piere L'eau Bleue will hate you
Ogre's like seven feet tall
Agedashi knows kung fu
(let me tell you about the last two)
Well...
Greenbeard's actually pretty cool
But Half-face Jack's behind him
So tall his parrot's man sized
Can't stress the trouble you're in

Level Singe

minor adjustments to head cover pillow cut
water washes looks but really hides little
feel so brittle when the pedestool cracks
no last minute save when the ground is full
so wear your hair the way the wind intended
told you of fortune in regret of revenge
let some things slide and other things guide
the perfect will is the one that questions
and discuses a little more than the weather
you've worked so hard to ignore the score
hand fringe deflects human eye
invade space with a taken body
i still saw and aquired need
but the interference doesn't offend
ripples in the water disturb the serenity
and lead you to argue that someone else is
allow me to appologise for your mistake
i've disrupted your world enough for one day
i understand now what seperates the trades
blessed is the will that bases itself on tradition
familiarity is the building block of life
picket patterns and playing children dreams
it stems from how you wear your hair
the wind decides who falls in love with who
hand fringe deflects human eye
invade space with a taken body
i still saw and aquired need
but the interference doesn't offend
nothing like passive sin
to make you feel like an adult
hand fringe deflects human eye
invade space with a taken body
i still saw and aquired need
but the interference doesn't offend me
something like habitual sin
allows one to understand
forbidden knowledge
to make you feel existant
