Dim They’re ready to collide breathing fire and gasoline They are the lost souls of the anthroscene They’ve been hidden away rehearsing their hate they’ve been breathing / becoming dread and rage always waiving the flag a new patriot so full of hate he’s made a life of it he says fuck the earth i only love my country you’re precious until birth and your look threatens me he says you’re precious until birth and your life ain’t shit to me Waves of fear and wickedness is the virtue of their sickness Waves of hate in rabid men is the Virtue of the Vicious too dim to respect or value a black man’s life too stupid to open your fragile mind just close your fists and look for someone weaker to hit and wave that flag you’re just another fake patriot we’re ready to collide breathing fire and gasoline we are the lost souls - of the anthroscene we’ve been hidden away rehearsing our hate we’ve been breathing / becoming dread and rage Waves of fear and wickedness is the virtue of their sickness Waves of hate in rabid men is the Virtue of the Vicious 8.

Rosebud When you're forgotten On the verge of ash When you're numb with fear Or hunted in mass We'll reflect on your heroes Corrupt and damned We'll count those hours Until you're breathing sand As you crush and kill you ask Is that all there is? Well i fucking hope so As you pull us into your dumb labyrinth What did you want to be? Everything we hate? Well i guess you’ve fulfilled your dreams Money, power and soul sucking fame Another overdressed anarchist Unable to see the irony Everything you fought for Will be undone when you bleed A scheming vacant impostor So afraid of being forgotten Made the world your effigy Sacrificing the brave and the fallen You'll always have the last word As brilliant and poignant as ever One last hopeless endeavor To be revered and praised forever Another overdressed anarchist Unable to see the irony Everything you fought for Will be undone when you bleed When you die we will spit on your grave When you die we will spit on your grave When you die we will spit on your grave When you die When you die When you die
