Cataclysm

They say the symptoms, make you want to cry.
The brain-alism, has begun to fry.
The body weakens, the mind is out to dry.
You only listen, to the strings that sigh...
In a Cataclysm, hearts torn away, in a Cataclysm - dark is the day.
In a Cataclysm, hearts torn away, with a fatalism - dance it all away.
Everyone 'mistooken', they hallucinate.
They wish a world that would, provide a better state.
Got to drop out now, of this rodent race.
Because we're long and gone, from the fall from grace...
In a Cataclysm, hearts torn away, in a Cataclysm - dark is the day.
In a Cataclysm, hearts torn away, with a fatalism - dance it all away.

Unbroken
03:37
|

|
From a blackness cold demise, chanting a new reprise.
Light splits your sky divides, looks like you might survive...Unbroken!
That's how I'll have to be, so keep on testing me, no damage can you see.
Fade to a new sunrise, cracked up but otherwise.
Still turning up the gain, in hopes that I might remain...Unbroken!

Anesthetize the Brain

I will be right here, when the heat will sear.
When the winds will clear, cleansing all we dear.
The scourge of all of us, leaves a world of rust.
Just in self you trust, this survival must.
Over and over again and again, adrenaline anesthetize the pain.
Over and over again and again, adrenaline anesthetize the brain.
Can’t put it back, from whence it came, adrenaline anesthetize the pain.
Can’t hold down what can’t be contained, adrenaline anesthetize the brain.
Now the end is near, now the end is dear, forgetting what we fear, the loss is only mere.
Over and over again and again, adrenaline anesthetize the pain.
Over and over again and again, adrenaline anesthetize the brain.
Can’t put it back, from whence it came, adrenaline anesthetize the pain.
Can’t hold down what can’t be contained, adrenaline anesthetize the brain.

Killing Time

I think and talk and I hate, and move along-along low.
I think and talk and I wait, and ting-a-tong-along bo.
I see the way it ain’t straight, so make a break and I go.
I think and talk and I hate, and move along-along low. A ting-a-tonk-a-tonk hey, what’s the message uh oh.
Something evil, ok, something evil I know.
Fake talking ‘bout fate, truth a-will-a-will show.
Can you live? You may.
Soul exchanged for the dough.
Killing time it’s killing time. Kill the blind on overtime. Overtime, all the time, kill, all the time, (but) it’s a crime!
Sing a song about hate, 'cause ain’t no words for my love.
What’s the use of my fate, now she lives up above?
A-zoom-balomp-adomp hey, and ting-a-tong-along-bo.
What’s the answer you say? Just the death of my bro.

Here To Stay
04:03
|

|
I see the lies you live behind and I hear the words you want to confide.
Try to suppress what you have inside under duress, some things you cannot hide.
Back and forth, a constant fight, try to resist, try with all your might.
It’s always wrong, can’t make it right, it’s all day long, and even thru the night.
At times I realize, theirs nothing for the pain.
At times I realize I want it to go away.
And the more I realize, the more I’m led astray.
And the more I realize, the more it’s here to stay!
I see belief in complete disguise, innocence r**** and sodomized.
All the voices, which were our guides, all the choices - that left us victimized.
Back and forth, which path to take, left alone, is it real or fake?
What do you choose, accept, refuse, win or lose…how much more can you take of the abuse!
At times I realize, theirs nothing for the pain.
At times I realize I want it to go away.
And the more I realize, the more I’m led astray.
And the more I realize, the more it’s here to stay!

Rise and Fall
04:12
|
|||
|
In a cold nightmare where nobody cares, dark in this hole underneath the stairs.
True to the vision but it still lies, your body wakens to the cries.
Rise.
Decisions made not so wise, you can't see regret slowly dies.
You woke up after how many tries; you hear the command - unbury your eyes.
Rise.
Your still alive, come get your prize. Not much it buys, away it flies.

It can't be that far to go - to where I do not know.
Judge me on that final day – I’ll take or leave it either way.
Can you hear me demon spawn, I'll be with you in the dawn.
Removing bodies from the lawn, asking how do you work this ‘jimmie-jawn?’

Universal Decline
04:34
|
|||
|
Lost combination but the code and design, its’ one you never will find.
Built population on assembly line, and the status of mine…
In decline, in decline, in decline.
Flesh machinations all enslaved to the grind. Not in sync with the sine.
Dead generation and the falling behind, here a species you’ll find…
In decline, in decline, in decline.
Where can you run and hide, escape mass suicide?

KLOCKENHOUZER Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Deploying post-cyberpunk and techno-industrial devastation, Klockenhouzer pierce through the dark with driving beats and sinister synths of glory. Through distorted shouts and melodic vocals the synth-bass commands their every move. With such edgy derangements they produce a sound of their own that’s upbeat inside a mecha-maniacle dystopian groove. ... more
