Path to Damnation
06:54
|
|||
Action and reaction come
When I criticize
The cults and their influence
Taking notice of how hate
And religion have
Most crystallized congruence
Must I tolerate this when
People die by days
Due to the cross and its might
So I speak out like none have
But with that comes the
Accusations, fate by night
The road not taken by thee
Is of burnt eternity
Only you, the righteous one
Slaughtered them, the war is won
Path to damnation
Headed down this road to hell
I embrace the flame
That comes with logical thought
Path to damnation
I am sick of defending
My most truly harsh
Viewpoint that your bullshit brought
Name all of the genocides
Committed in the
Name of your most foolish cult
Your refusal's my attempt
However I can't
As time's what will always bolt
Yet I'm the one lying with
This so-called devil
You claim is naught but you fear
I don't fear what is not real
What does not exist
Cannot harm what I hold dear
The unnamed trail that I walk
Free from all religious talk
Rotting, it evaporates
The mind deteriorates
*
Down this path I go
Down this road that they long not
Any take
They'll try what they may
The most extreme possible
Route at stake
Yet they always fail
The logic will always win
Evermore
The brains somehow will
Find a way to prevail o'er
A faith sore
Yet it seems naught so
For cults and the groups of gods
Always win
But by kills and war
They use hateful force - how it's
Always been
The world develops
There may be more, yet we're still
At the start
For the primitive
The tribal religions play
Every part

Radical Christianity
04:43
|
|||
Logic behind this
Lack of faith leads us to gold
And the new camps of
Concentration, brainwashing
Take the ones without
Faith and give them a new home
Re-education
Teach them the ways of the fools
Those who don't believe
Will be sent to hell's burning
The wheels of this land
And liberty are destroyed
Just take the godless, throw them away
As our moral society resumes today
Their lack of faith surely must be a crime
For they're injecting logic all the damn time
The Lord is the force for all that is good
Snuff out opposition wherever we could
In God's name and the land of the free
No one safely opposes radical Christianity
All who preach nothing
But a lack of faith
Beware your safety
The end comes not yet

Act I: Hell Takes All
03:05
|
|||
In the name of the throne
The highness that I worship
In the name of the crown
That leads us to this battle
I trekked through the caverns
Searched for blood and victory
Aimless, thoughtless monster
I was proudly at that time
Briefly stopped to speak to
Here now, my leader stands there
Command the cult to fight
Wear the fool's badge with honor
A specific target
On the side of the righteous
Eliminate that one
To ensure our own success
Killing bullets whizzing
Past my head at lightning speed
I shall not settle here
Until all enemies die
Continue to bolt through
The fire of the other side
Hell takes all lives away
Who don't put effort to dodge
But all stories don't end
Without that old trademark twist
Things will all go awry
Nothing is as it has seemed

Standing on the field where war is done
I've fallen to the ground but not as one
For on this blood-dressed soil I lay
Punctured and pierced in the skin this day
Thinking of pain, dreaming of a fine death
I count down until my last final breath
I grin at the reaper thinking it's time
Another falls, the bell of hope will chime
Who is this man that
Has fallen right beside me
Still staying alive
After taunting him
For we fight on opposite
Sides, we start to thrive
My long lost brother
Shared the same goals and mother
Brainwashed to believe
We were enemies
Instantly we healed ourselves
No more time to grieve
We thought we had opposite intentions
Until we started seeing redemptions
More in common than we initially thought
What good was this war uselessly fought
With our luck we managed to revive
Our bodies and the dreams to thrive
With all our strength we made a run
For the end of suffering our journey's done
Healing all inside
Take love for a ride
The hate can all stay
Where death makes its day

Seems like a lifetime
That was all wasted
How much time has passed by
With us living in these lies
How much have we missed
What have we become
To have fought against us
Each tries to kill the other
But that is no more
Our past matters not
For right here you're with me
Brother in arm and in hand
Our newfound purpose
A reason to live
To escape this hellhole
To get out of these caverns
We were enemies
We just didn't know
Didn't see connections
The string that tied together
Now we've seen it all
The bond that we share
For we've a common goal
That we'll achieve together
So let's run away
Let's escape this field
The killing can stop with
Us for we will want no more
The soulless can fight
For the bullshit they
Choose to be loyal to
Follow the head to your death
In this battlefield
Right next to the blood
Right besides all the death
Lying where we both were born
The hole in the stone
The crack in the roof
Explosion outside, seems
Like the gods want us to leave
For we shall return
Our home is in sight
The soldiers can fuck it
For our purpose realized
Is unstoppable
War can't bring it down
We'll enter those front doors
And death shall meet its demise
Where the fuck have I been these years
Hearing mindless chants with my ears
For an empire I somehow chose to serve
The logic line that apparently has no curve
But now I've opened my resistant eyes
The power of love takes me to the skies
For my brother has returned to my heart
We leave this war, it won't tear us apart

Act IV: Weight of Life
07:14
|
|||
Trapped in my cell I survive
Just by willpower
No more tears can fall down now
To them I cower
They took me after they shot
Brother in the back
Watched him die before my eyes
Then I fade to black
Dragged me to my own death row
Where others shall lay
Fellow rebels of the tribe
That have seized the day
Any that dissent from the
All-loving leader
Thrown into the death chamber
The beast's big feeder
Recollect all that occured
All that has transpired
Should have known this was my fate
How luck was hardwired
They caught me and expression
Reigning free to thee
In the view of their lenses
A great sin to be
Unknown time that's left to live
What time will I die?
They refuse to give notice
They refuse to lie
So I lie in wait right here
Waiting for my death
Weight of life beats down on me
Losing all my breath
They watched me recuperate
Get back on my feet
For three weeks I was asleep
Slice of rotting meat
Soon about to grow the mold
Of a rebellion
Equipped only with loose minds
Disgraced battalion
After I finally wake
And see with my eyes
There they are, take me away
He's healed, now he dies
As the arms grab other arms
Seizing my control
My chance to fly is now gone
Snapped the vaulting pole
How did I get here?
How I went from roaming free
To trapped evermore?
I saw in his eyes
The moment before he died
He has truly changed
The fire that has sparked
Within my soul that he lit
I gazed at greatness
Now before I die
I have no means to speak words
My mind remains loud

A signal of oppression
We come to serve as the tyrannical police
Patrol the rest of the world
As if we are the moral compass all follow
Kill all of the innocents
Then brainwash your people, you'll teach
We're the saviors of Earth
Bringing peace and justice to our empire
The world shouldn't bow
To the largest force that specializes in evil
We will all resist
The land of war, the home of the foolish
The ones below those
Who unjustly forced themselves up top
Will now be the ones
To go oppress marginalized demographics
We won't acknowledge
Past horrors we all know we committed
Continue to terrorize
Spikes fear in all victims of our own bigotry
Scars and strikes
Forever our shit nation stands in the world
Like a rotten apple
Falling into the mouth of all that is evil

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
