Song: 04 - Subliminal Servitude
Lyrics
Humiliation sold by the pound
To shrewd narcotic kingpins and dealers of promised happiness
All brought to you by the architects
Of cathode ray reality as they properly fatten our delusions
Until they develop mouths of their own
Feed me. Inject the propaganda
Reduce their suffering through the somniferous radiation
Conceive another thoughtless carbon
Attenuation of empathy
Through force fed apprehension and principle
Manipulation of pulpous clay
Perspective and reason will perish and decay
Emissions of conformity
Subliminal slavery
Contempt!
Lying in disgrace is the mind that does not seek truth
Remove the blinders, unveil your eyes
Shed the skin anew
Ignorance is strength. Power in numbers
Plug into the network that destroys all subversive thought
Insubordination
Step in line
Conditioning instruments control your mind
Taxidermy, lifeless eyes
Disembodied, the bloods runs dry
Painted facade
Hate and greed dressed in disguise
Cause and effect
Stuff those holes with mesmeric diversion
Narcosis
How those ornaments dance and shine
Mystified by the serpentine
There are shocking new developments that you cant afford to miss
Nursing that fear into obedience
Oligarchy!
The power that slipped through the hands of the comatose masses
Into the few
Silenced!
Silenced is the voice of the ones who cant see through lies
Sacrifice my privacy because I need to feel safe
Okay then, you just wait
Till the lens is turned on you
Treated like a criminal
They watch everything you do
Youre sufficiently subdued
Subdued...criminal
The only way to rule is through force and intimidation
Through your weakness they stand to gain
Leaving a trail of poverty without blame
There are shocking new developments that you cant afford to miss
Holding onto our willful ignorance Anomalous - Subliminal Servitude](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MBj6VecRkOk/mqdefault.jpg)

Band: Descend Into Nothingness
Genre(s): Melodic Death Metal
Origin: Canada (Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec)
Album: Darkened Reality [2003]
Song: 04 - Dominated by the Disease
Lyrics
You wake up a morning
Have some stomac aches
Not important you tell yourself
And you stop thinking about it
Later that same day
You feel it once again
And its worst than ever
At that time you really start wondering
At the hospital
After a long check-up
The man in white sits down in front of you
And makes your worst nightmare a reality
Your heart is pumping at foul speed
You would prefer to ignore all this
But the pain refreshes your memories
Youre now stuck in the disease tornado
You return to your house to pack your stuff
And take a desperate look around
Knowing that it could be the last vision of your home
While the disease builds its own in your body
Dominated by the disease
Your only hope is to fight to survive
Even if you know that the victim is unlikely
You take the decision to engage in a long internal war
Feeling the Reaper close to you
You grip your heart to seize its last beat
Seeing your life behind
You ask yourself why so much suffering
And to dust your return...clueless... Descend Into Nothingness - Dominated by Desease](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MO5xYLiK3jg/mqdefault.jpg)

Song: 10 - Fainted Blue Ornaments
Lyrics
The acid reflux in my throat hasnt appeased my taste for bitter blondes
Ive twisted so many necks and now their souls daily blind my mind
Your presence, I took for granted
I deceived your confidence
Ill never achieve emotional numbness,
Nor will I enjoy a single peaceful rest
Your presence, I took for granted
I deceived your confidence
Your angelic hand touches my venomous spine
through overwhelming nightmares
I now stand under this Damocles dagger
Ill kill again to lighten apathy towards me
The amazing brightness that makes you so precious
and exceptional tears me apart
I need your presence but my shadow is tarnishing your radiance
I feel remorse but unfortunate events
make my world uglier this morning
Repentance hurts but not enough
Lets start again tonight Despised Icon - Fainted Blue Ornaments](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/N2Uf8Q2Gg4k/mqdefault.jpg)

Band: Immolation
Genre(s): Death Metal
Origin: USA (Yonkers, New York)
Lyrical theme(s): Anti-Religion
Album: Dawn of Possession [1991]
Song: 04 - Those Left Behind
Lyrics
I lifted my soul joyfully
If not my life will end painfully
Extol he who rides above the clouds
Majestic and glorious
Reigning victorious
Exalted to his name
Far above the earth
But below is where I�ll see
Unmoved by your praise
Seated in splendor
High above the heavens
Resounding out his name
Far below are my beliefs
Your majestic light shines down upon me
I turn my face... And shut my eyes
For your light casts darkness upon my world
A world I�ve not chosen... To dwell within
For those who judge me by your standards
Say I�m unworthy... Of your grace
Enthroned upon their praise
Dethroned with my disgust
Unworthy of your glory
You turn your back on me
You are Jesus
You are lord
Imperfect god
You are nothing to me
For this you say
Ill burn for all eternity...
Jesus Christ
You are lord
You are god
But have you won ever sin and death
Victorys crown shall be ours
For we are those
Those youve left behind Immolation - Those Left Behind](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NHCnx60Sals/mqdefault.jpg)

Lyrics
Dun gouffre inassouvissable, son panthéon
La facette de sa quête, son opposition
Du haut de son morbide trône dextravagance
Exploitant et fusionnant la véhémence
Incommensurable appétit
Indomptable être dépéri
Ancré dans la prédation
Emporté dans la dépravation
Du haut de sa vanité
À la vitesse de sa montée
Il sombra dans la cupidité
Survolant les acres dobsolescence
Hantant les seuils dinnocence
Puisant lâme dans laffaiblissement, traîné par les extirpeurs
Physiquement traité devant limmonde, lexhumation dite en torpeur
Inculqué à la quête du festin propice
À lassaut des chemins, propulsé au fond du précipice
Enfermé dans linsanité jen fus enclin à basculer
Déchiqueté et éparpillé, jen fus reconstitué
Lhypotésance de lâme
Linassouvissable soif du manque, le perforant
Linertie innondante linfinitésimalité de sa masse hideuse
Catalysant linfection de sa faim
La faisant grandir de jour en jour
Gloutonnerie étant devenue monnaie courante
Gloutonnerie étant devenue fontaine de jouvence
Gula sappropria larborescence de cette existence
Puis Gula se retrouva devant le trépas et devant sa fin se leva
Implorant sa mort par lingérence de son confort
Il en démontra que lexcentricité de sa panse
Combattant le feu par le feu
Son impitoyable règne, je le pourfendrai
Sa gargantuesque injustice, je la détruirai

Song: 09 - Opus Requiem
Lyrics
And so he was turned away
To hide faces, guilt among the trees
Life froze in his veins
His limbs root to the ground
The failed soul runs a river of sorrow
Living yet breathless, he fades to a dark shade
At last the voice remained, vanished into gray
Far from fair kingdoms the voice has life. . .
The infernal river is unsettled by his crossing
Away from three-headed guardians
He runs towards the shade of life
His song ascends to the mount of heaven
Solo: James Murphy
As he runs from Hades
Turned around losing her to darkness
Alone with the standing trees
The deepest wild
They say he was swallowed by a river full of rage
His blood is the vengeful River
His bones are the stones
His soul calls to her eternally
Solo: Istvan
Reaching only darkness
The voice remains captured by his sorrow and pain
Then slowly fades like a dying flame
Solo: Istvan
