1. Sickening Madness – 03:31 >
Awakened from a darkened state Manipulated killing no control Darkness in madness consumes my behavior Death is awaiting one more toll Killing is a weakness that cannot be contained The lust of death draws near Thoughts of sickening madness Emotions of regret The end is now clear Madness Sickness Disguised with gruesome forms of hate Madness Sickness The torture in the minds will soon create Boiled minded angered creature Reaches the point of no return Violence has commenced with hatred These humans must be burned Sadistic Vicious Skinned and hung to dry Dead Madness Deteriorated flesh and bones denied Dead Madness Burned from legs to eyes Radiated series of hatred Engulfed within the eyes Sickened, painful, mutilation It's now your time to die Brutal beating butchering obscenity My final outbreak this time Capturing all that's evil Chained down now you're mine Disgusted Impulse of chronic revenge Relentless Boiling blood from the head Death, suffering, insanity Power of aggression No mental stability Wishing you dead Psychopathic agitation The thing that was once known The evil has been let go Now you're on your own
2. Demented Grotesqueries – 04:36 >
Torturous extremities violent beating of the mind Killing skinning burning desire A pleasure one can find Brutal aching murder scene Punishment of life Removal of the skin and veins Reaction from the knife An act of violence commencing through and through Desecration of the body bludgeoned black and blue Mutilated arteries disfigurement of flesh Eyes sewn together and disposal of the rest Vicious incision exposing rabid tendons The body soon expands and pulsates Malicious sadistic A sick minded maniac Desire, the will, the obsession it creates Scraping, tearing, screaming Insanity comes flooding through your brain Thrashing, scratching, beating Seeing red and lashing out in pain Shocking, terrorizing anger Compelled to eviscerate Manipulative destruction seized by mind control Destined to eliminate Execution Soul begins to wither away Demented grotesqueries Violent agitation Your sanity now melting day by day Blood in and out, surfacing near death Eyes roll and dilate Heart bursts open wide Expulsion of the brain Mutilated vile putrid hate Victim succumbed to violence Obsession gained by fetish Illness acquired in anger The body laid to rest It's suffering To me Devouring You see Demented Grotesqueries Demented, torturous hate and pain Diabolical means to kill Shredding and peeling Maniacal hate The sickness of the mind becomes a thrill The scum inside Becomes a reality Brutal strangulation Infinite incisions Will exist To the point of no return Grotesque
3. Injected with Insects – 03:30 >
Bacteria growth inside Summoned from hell itself Infesting with precision Killing off one by one and again Captivated, controlled and defeated Life will soon deteriorate Bubbling of the skin and bones now starts to demonstrate Brain eaten slowly away Crawling continues The flesh starts to move Brain now beaten Limbs tense up The heart starts to race Eyes begin the nest and will soon create Six legged creatures exit every bloody orifice Climbing out the head and neck and face Pungent odors leaking out Insects have now conquered all the space Experimental sickness now complete Suffer within A nest of hate Eggs start to hatch and dominate Considered dead No control of pain and torture Biting from limb to limb Burning penetration and the boiling of flesh Prisoner of science now disposed On to the next corpse and removal Operation now exposed Repulsed Sickened Injected With Insects
4. Cut into Darkness – 04:33 >
Greater death beyond the concrete walls Brutality at its best Bludgeoned, slammed, and grinded down, Sickening repulsive gross concept Cutting it's way through life Imprisoned within the walls of fear Forgotten sadistic past Corrupted mind from a dream once had Violent agitated agony Mutilating minds of evil Disgusting acts of violence Horrid dreams now are real Epitome of violence has now taken place Destruction of all mind and fate Repulsive, disgusting, torturous obsession It's now your time to hate Kill what's left and burn the rest Your eyes have seen the horror it creates Dead inside nothing left Grotesque mandatory suicide Help Crying death Consumed One last breath Pain Containing self Just kill it now while time is left While time is left Sickened Kill it now with one last chance Consumed by darkness Everlasting violent pain Torturous, excruciating Blacked out, nothing left Looking down at severed remains Disgust Am i insane Rapid faces of violence Destruction of one’s mind Detrimental physical abuse Twisted horrors of another kind
5. Forced Entrail Consumption – 03:02 >
Thrown into darkness and drawn into fate Forceful anger to the bone Smashing with vengeance Encased with hate Bile putrid figures The monster it creates Offal smells of agony Sounds of tortured souls Gruesome acts of organs disengaged Pulverized skulls and bones Tied down for eternity Skin removed grotesquely Reigning power of violence Tubes and entrails removed by the inch Tugging and yanking, hacked to death Bludgeoned blood bacterial infection Image of the beaten corpse Fulfillment of torture and body selection Sealing one’s fate In a hate filled tank Closing the doors to a life once had Captured and sickened with a force so strong Sliced up and down going mad Tools of violence and a cage of death Never-ending rotting With one last breath Forward to annihilation Process of taking all life Brutal bludgeoning battered to death Ghoulish torturous acts Putrid offal opened abscess Hanging from your flesh Boiled pealed and ripped apart The worst is yet to come Pierced with needles head to toe The pain will never numb Sickening madness demented grotesque Choking on bile and flesh Disgust Ripped out What a fucking mess
6. Human Liquidation – 03:26 >
Capturing all that's evil Aggression that needs to be swept away Collection of infuriation Soon to be dissolved today Sliced down, compressed and stashed Chopped in half, quartered at last Such a mess that's left behind Buckets of blood and human waste Crackling of puss and arteries Melting of the flesh Abusive rancid chemical exposure Mindless bodies seized at last Suicidal maniac Ripped apart with all problems erased The horrors and gore and pain Time to annihilate Traumatic, convulsive, reaction to the salts Limbs are torn and completely burned apart Bleached down and torn off the bones The disposal has yet to start Confined within the walls of mental chaos Bubbling of ligaments burning of the hair Teeth have been smashed The travesty I’ve created No turning back from here My commitment to murder Torturous behavior Homicidal deterioration Rancid putrid remains No track of life left behind Entombed in liquid flesh Organs spill and slide Bathtub full of what used to be a man Draining the fluids into a ditch Flushing them down every drain The cries and horrors inside my mind Gruesome hateful damaging pains The screams that remain can be heard inside the brain Souls of victims shrieking painfully Begging, screeching, agonizing death Someone put an end to me From human to liquid death Vicious annihilation task now complete Murderous minds of all that's evil Sickening voices of hatred Torturous thoughts near death Depressive, selfish, hate and demise Escalates as the thoughts come to mind Shaking, compelled with self-hatred Stench of revenge and suicide
