lyrics

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

about

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
