Can’t count the kingdoms
Warring all for hell knows what
Seven lands of blood
Many years of war
Battles in the scarring east
Until one rose up
Though for a brief time
The emperor unified
All, but at what cost?
统一国家真的是个好主意吗?
Seven kingdoms before they shrunk to three
There was one in such a brief time between
Two large dynasties, splitting and regrouping
Betwixt, the most unified country you’ve never seen
Rose to power with a sword removed from the back
That brief immunity before greed bites you in the ass
Reforming every system to be universal across
There’s no nationality now, there is only class
For he is now celebrated
But for what?
How revolutionary was he really?
If not him, then why not someone else?
Did he achieve this supposedly great
Feat of unifying the nation
In any of the right ways?
Or would a peaceful yet divided
Kingdom have served all better?
Was he really remembered for the right things?
One of the shortest in a long line of dynasties
Yet it’s always celebrated among the crucial and high
Made this land of countless blood and war
A tyrant’s trampoline park, a bed for rulers to lie
Because they could interact more now that all was
Unified, standard, all the same for everyone all around
No more mistakes, rebels attack in all or none
His hand stretched far and withdrew at death’s sound
One of the early
Lines of rulers with the throne
Sit their ass upon
Shit from down and front
Extend their rule all across
Standards good or bad?
统一国家仍然是个好主意吗?

Tastes of Sin 2023
04:30
|
|||
Leaves a door open for those
Who wish to speak here
My ears listen only for
The peaceful voices
When they decide to bring out
Swords I will object
They choose whether I will get
And observe their word
Red robe, golden crown and cross
Enters through the door
Steps into a house of sins
Only for the tastes
Even if unknown to men
Still they must follow
These words only said by fools
To bring violence
What you see inside
When it does not take into
Action against man
It is not of harm
But your ignorance comes out
When you blame the art
This is not holy, you say
Where is the worship
Where is the lack of logic
Where is the belief
This shit does not follow your
Code of ditching brains
Only if it praises your
Imagined fake friend
Sword in hand you follow your
God's word to murder
Biblical crimes are common
When they let them be
Live under the lord and you
Lose all of your brain
Live with logic and you will
Risk being victim
Follow this word now
Your fate will not change
The colors of walls
And their contents mean

Hogs in Badges
04:00
|
|||
My country 'tis of motherfucking thee
Cursed land of violence and inertly
Promoting hogs in badges to just pretend
To protect us, yet this shit they can't mend
Rolling around lives like rolling in mud
By the bang of the gun, they just chew cud
Innocents die, but you think they give shits
After they patched their injustice with grits?
Who built this system, who made what it is?
The nationalists, the pigs in the biz
Exploit the poor, silence all civil rights
What else can we do to kickstart more fights?
You let the kid buy a gun, now he kills
Now you bitch about pro-abortion bills
Your words coated with violence and wealth
Pro-blue-lives and pro-life can fuck itself
Let's just wait while the young kids are slaughtered
Dystopia for our sons and daughters
Bigots, hate, violence, "don't care bout ya"
The best words to describe America
Land where my fathers died but of old age
After they killed and enslaved and brought rage
Land of the bigot's pride, where leaders lie
From every mountainside, let freedom die

Shock Destruction
08:00
|
|||
The night dwells, begins to settle in
As the naval forces graze the water’s edge
The dusk is more ominous than has been
As the flaming arrows revolve around the wedge
A fool’s feast, not expecting what’s to come
As the more powerful eagerly greets the weak
The launchers prepare with the air’s sweet hum
For shock destruction is what they shall seek
Fire at will, burn the wood that does hold
The ships on the water and keeps victory cold
Hit ‘em all at once, for we’ve no heart
To show them mercy or let them play their part
Night has fallen, battle comes
Betrayal out on the river rises
Board, slash, kill, escape
Soon greeted with surprises
Eventually the time will soon be arriving
Where the general must make a choice to escape
For the vehicle of war the enemy’s been driving
Eats all the victim’s fuel it can possibly scrape
Thrice he laughs, thrice he’s then attacked
All around the enemy is lying in wait
The overconfidence’s consequences are stacked
As the only thing increasing now is hate
Fire at will, swing your almighty sword
To the rhythm of war and blood’s ethereal chord
Sing with aggression as you begin to die
For the tables have turned, victory is a lie
Letting enemies
Fool your overconfident
Brain was all their plan
Burning every bridge
Gate leading to the heavens
Slaughter all you can
Once so powerful
Clearly the superior
Now you are falling
Single lack of wit
Cleverness to detect this
Betrayal’s calling

War Trophy
03:27
|
|||
Now take your last breath
Now see no more light
For me it's glory
For me it's gorey
For me, your life ends
And mine shall begin
Of a man's treasure
A soldier's own gold
The bones of the flesh
I ended it all
The entire life has
Concluded by me
The skull that I made
The death I foresaw
Then acted upon
This is the trophy
The lifeless remains
Of my new victim
Shoot him in the heart
The enemy's pawn
He's screaming, now dead
Blood spewed on the face
Squirts out of the skin
I know lifelessness
Body now carcass
Human soul now corpse
Flames consume the flesh
Bones are all that's left
The head held the brain
That is my token
A shelf full of skulls
I remember those
Battles that I won
Bodies live no more
Muscles do not move
There's breath no longer

This is not the land
Of the free you thought it was
No home for no brave
This shithole is not
Paradise of justice and
Peace for all our kind
There is no country
No land to express pride for
This is but a cult
A religion to
Brainwash every child and all
Who serve its master
Do not support it
Don't feed this killing system
Before it devours
You'll be next victim
After you continue to
Downplay any threat
This is a fascist hellhole
Only works for some
While the rest suffer and die
Some will lose and some will win
What coat you shall wear
Or the flag outside your door
Do not burn these stars or stripes
You must obey the
Rules that destroy our freedom
Sing the songs of liberty
While you receive none
For the guns threaten your life
Under sons of liberty
Some will take the throne
As the rest of Earth watches
All who dare to speak against
Shit countries like mine
See the might of those lied to

Dead is the Day
05:40
|
|||
Greatness awaits in the dark
Called this due to assumption
That what’s not god-like is damned
Oh how foolish those sheep are
Worship without thought or brain
Yet this fraud fills them with joy
Dead is the day when they’ll see
Just how stupid their beliefs
When stacked on the true world are

Pledge of Arrogance
08:00
|
|||
I will pledge no arrogance
To this despicable flag
Of the fucked US of A
And to no republic
For which nothing will stand
One nation under a God
So fake for a moral land
Turn to faith for all bullshit
Divided forever
No liberty, unjust
Hear your own words, you fucker
What you're truly speaking for
That you'll never turn away
You ally with hatred
Your best teammate is greed
Patrols will roam all the streets
Promising the salvation
To just one selected kind
Leaders of past and old
Vow to spread the hatred
Deeply rooted within our
Inner organs and workings
This land survives to oppress
Foolish people who choose
Who guides them to hell next
Stand no more, it's time to fight
This fucking evil system
Controlling all like tyrants
Resist the hate no more
Give them what they deserve

Decimate Our Kind
Decimate Our Kind is a progressive deathrash project based in the USA, although multiple different genre labels can be used. DOK mixes elements of progressive, death, and thrash metal with some experimentation and blunt lyrics about philosophy, psychology, sociology, history, religion and violence to create a sound that’s both uniquely unpredictable and classically face-meltingly heavy. ... more
