The Red Chord : Fed Through the Teeth Machine
Les paroles
1. DEMORALIZER
Try to draw blood from a festering wound.
You'll see the only thing you can't admit.
The gangrenous limb of your pride-soaked tongue.
You are the paragon of denial.
Living in a frame of outward-pointing frozen spears.
Why don't you join everyone you condemn?
Fill the suffering void.
When are you going to learn. Motives full of filth and grime.
Leave the games at home. Cancer won't die on its own.
It needs to be cut out. Needs to be cut out.
I'm reaching for your pride-soaked tongue just to pull it out.
Cast you into the darkness.
Fill the suffering void of your own worthless tomb.
Step out of my world
Cast you into darkness.
You are the paragon of denial.
2. HOUR OF RATS
Maybe I should thank you for all you have done.
The troll rears its ugly head.
Read the warnings before you say
You will take an oath that will not break.
All the years and devotion out of the window.
My eyes are open but are we looking at the same thing?
Let it ride, take the trip and watch it shatter
Splinters the thickest of hearts and heads
I don't sweat it anymore.
When I was counting seconds, you were counting breaths.
You said you can't remember, I swear I wont forget.
I've learned I just wont sweat it anymore.
When I was counting seconds you were counting friends.
When the hour of rats begins maybe its time to make amends.
We have known each other too long to be friends.
It seems to trivial in matters of life and death.
Cower, scream-stand up for what you've done.
Let it ride, take the trip watch it shatter.
Splinters the thickest of hearts and heads.
Scream, cower-hide from the shards of the hour of rats
3. HYMNS AND CRIPPLED ANTHEMS
They'll lie and wait for when it goes down the drain.
Kill off the elders.
We are building superstars.
Dead to your rights looking in.
All of those throats liberally slit.
Can't get that hymn from your head.
So do you believe this?
They'll be nowhere to run but into...
The ground will meet us with crushing the passion.
Provokes the action to put things back together.
So do you believe this?
There's nothing to trust but your own opinions.
Gives inspiration and waits for no man.
Destroys all reason and waits for no man.
Provokes the action.
The cost of dedication and the blood and sweat you'll give.
Just be forever thankful to the family that you live.
Treating the lives of people like trials.
When you're the eyes of conservative minds
Life gets real disappointing,
There is no discretion.
All these hymns and crippled anthems
Offer little consolation.
We'll do it live.
Hymns and crippled anthems on the lips of every town.
Learn to make an entrance and burn it to the ground.
Hymns and crippled anthems in the hearts of every town.
Learn to make an entrance and burn it to the ground.
4. EMBARRASSEMENT LEGACY
In a dark room, rows of text.
Alien to the outside world.
Fear of contact by steel will.
Embarrassment revealed.
Hunger for a sterile feast.
My needs are scorned.
By insect blood I am born.
Twist of fate, dealt a hand of improbability.
Reborn.
Temple of elemental evil awakens a need in my soul.
Forced to crumble in my true form.
As the need begins to control.
Mental hunger sated but not for long.
Legacy of triumph collapse.
Of all the things that have disgraced me you're the one that hurt the most.
Traded like cards, treated like garbage.
Traded like coins, treated like garbage.
I'll define what's left.
Forgotten, disgraced, worthless.
Your life and dreams are no match for reality.
Life's work forgotten. My life's work is forgotten.
5. TALES OF MARTYRS AND DISAPPEARING ACTS
Add another voice to the lie.
The sole mission of a parasite is survival.
Survival.
Learned to beg for your life.
The sole mission of a parasite is survival.
Survival.
I can't believe anything you say.
Every word is a lie.
You spent years painting the warning signs.
How'd you make it this far?
Right beneath our feet.
I can't believe a single thing you say.
Every word is a lie.
Spending all your life searching for a great guy.
He's my neighbor.
Suck it in.
Your my favorite dude.
Let's hang.
Keep it up.
No bowel control.
Such a pathetic waste of life.
Tales of martyrs and disappearing acts.
Add another voice to the lie.
Begging for life.
It's such a shame class and grace skip generations.
6. FLOATING THROUGH THE VEIN
Tear it up.
Break it open.
Drop the hammer.
Don't just wait for it to fall for
When it snaps its waves bring hell.
Floating, floating through the vein.
What's the cost of success?
Big deal it's just one more time.
Without debt or encumbrance.
Normal people - the ones that walk the street.
They don't understand.
They don't here the call.
Call to arms.
Line the roads with their dead.
So far passed the point of exploding (explodes).
So far past the point where the cycle was supposed to end.
When your past the point of the lowest low.
Long past the point where the cycle ends.
When will it end?
Why won't the nightmares end?
Fall head first in the lions den and
Now they have returned to play.
Come on in where nightmares are the best part of my day.
There is no rest for tired eyes, it's time to go to sleep.
Sometimes thoughts return, but memories slip away.
Floating through the vein, floating through the vein.
7. INGEST THE ASH
Lessons learned over the years echo
Your words and lost ideals.
Keeping the memory alive in the bed you used to lie.
I've come to learn everything you'd ever
Want to know about failure.
I know your down there looking up.
So hear these prayers.
Come take it as far as it wants to go.
Come now and haunt.
Ingest it.
Channel it all.
Ingest the ash.
You're not thinking and you know it's bad.
It's only getting worse.
You're not thinking and you know it's bad.
It's only getting worse.
With hands on urn and ash in teeth.
Old calloused hands hardened through the years.
Wearing things long since forgotten.
I feel sick.
I feel sick.
8. ONE ROBOT TO ANOTHER
It won't budge. Hooked up rusted shut. Warning! No trespass.
Brains removed! Secret key under doormat. Self destruct.
Agent, don't talk. To the dungeon, spy! I'm so depressed.
I'm never going to get this band off the ground.
Sequence don't wait, turn it off. Glowing key. Doorbell. Secret lab.
I feel so strong. I feel so strong. Initiate.
Try to turn it off.
Eating all the food didn't even help.
Are you here to aid or defeat him?
Are you here to aid or defeat?
World full of purple tentacle invaders.
Are you here to aid or defeat?
I want to know what you're feeling.
I want to know what you're thinking.
Any second you will be hooked
Up to the machine getting your pretty brains removed.
Things end and days repeat.
Full of different shit with the same stink.
Are you here to aid or defeat him?
Are you here to aid or defeat him?
Tried so hard to be like every man.
Tried so hard to be an alien.
I no longer see human beings. I see tentacle invaders.
Initiate. Try to turn it off.
Eating all the food didn't even help.
Are you here to aid or defeat him?
Are you here to aid or defeat?
Full of purple tentacle invaders.
Are you here to aid or defeat?
So you've made it passed all my safeguards.
Are you here to aid or defeat?
Servants of the evil general.
Are you here to aid or defeat?
9. MOUTHFUL OF PRECIOUS STONES
Fed through the teeth machine.
Row after row of dysmorphic minerals.
All the things that I have seen, drowning in my reflection.
Bleed from sores that reach out to everyone in the room.
Touched by sepsis, cradled in a mountain of bone.
I pretend not to notice that we belong in the same room.
We touch the same door handle and
Drink from the same fountain.
I'm repulsed. Sickening drive to cultivate loathing.
I dishonest nod and grin as we pass in the streets.
Eater! Nashing pit full of bracing.
Tangled in a tortured sickness.
Search your soul. Unlock the treatures.
Crossing through those pearly gates
That exit to that special place.
We belong in the same room. Smiling in my reflection.
Bound tight by nerve endings and veins;
Wound just like nooses.
To dissuade my confusion.
We touch the same door handles and drink
From the same fountain.
I am repulsed by this mouthful of precious stones.
10. THE UGLIEST TRUTH
When they say they're too big to fail
What exactly does that mean?
Why not take a look from where I stand.
I think you're falling apart and breaking at the seams.
Those old bones won't hold up forever.
I am manipulation in a world of jelly fish.
I am the ugliest of truth.
Every machine fails and every man dies.
Don't worry we sell replacement parts.
You've got a big mouth for such a little man.
Step aside and let it get...
Stronger. Younger. Better.
I'm the words that never let you free.
I'm the ugliest truth. I am dissension in the ranks.
I'm the line you can't shake from your head.
I'm the ugliest truth that keeps you reaching for the stars.
When they said they're too big to fail
What exactly does that mean?
The sound can't be held out forever.
Suffer by yourself the truth will take the pain away.
Sacrifice yourself the truth won't take the pain away.
11. FACE AREA SOLUTION
You don't know me but I'm every man,
Learning to survive on anger and frustration.
Say a prayer to the Skin
Gods and maybe they'll grant you passage to another life.
Can you see the sun with those blinders on?
Why do you feel the need to keep fucking with your face?
Down your nose. Cold stares.
Try to break the mold.
Why do you choose to tarnish nature's beauty?
Say your prayers to the God of Skin
Deny natural beauty
Are you fucking high?
If you were given options...
If you were given...
If you were given the blessing
To end your problems today
Down your nose. Cold stares.
Try to break the mold.
Why do you choose to tarnish nature's beauty?
Why you'd do that to yourself. It's beyond imagination.
If you were given the blessings to end your problems today.
If you were given the option to fix your fucking face.
12. SLEEPLESS NIGHTS IN THE COMNPOUND
There is no such thing as a good time.
I still wish it was any day but today.
Awakened moments after twilight.
They made up stories of a hell and
Promised land to teach man consequence.
A million days, a million tragedies.
Only enemies brought flowers.
Eclipsed in rows of rhododendrons.
We're re-writing history.
We made up stories of a hell and
Promised lands to teach man consequence.
A million days, a million tragedies.
Only enemies send flowers.
The only way you've learned...
It is time to learn a lesson in depravity.
I don't even know what she looks like.
I don't even know where she is.
Say it again with more misery.
I don't even know where she is.
Sieged expression.
Wrath - who do you think will save you from?
Wrath - who do you think will save you from?
Hear the footsteps.
Wrath - who do you think will save you from?
Wrath - who do you think will save you from?
Close the door. I'm freezing.
