Towards Death Or Oblivion 05:14
lyrics
buy track
We are a nation of victims The first ones to suffer and bleed We know we are made to be broken This is how it will always be We rip each other to shreds whenever one steps out of the pack We all exist on borrowed time, once it's gone we won't get it back A steady course keeps us headed towards death or oblivion Along this trail we were destined to fail, braindead and oblivious We were never going to be fixed They factored us in as an acceptable loss We know we are vain by nature Blindly chase the newest thing we come across We are a hopeless generation Our future doesn't matter, only here and now Welcome to the expendable age where we don't ask why and we don't know how A steady course keeps us headed towards death or oblivion Along this trail we were destined to fail, braindead and oblivious We saw it coming but instead of running we welcomed it home There was no struggle, never wanted any trouble Afraid to atone Misinterpreting the signs So easy to deceive when noone questions the crimes Misrepresented and defined So easy to deceive the unquestioning mind Misunderstanding the lies So easy to deceive when noone ever wonders why Miscalculations denied So easy to deceive they hardly even had to try Forgive us not for we know what we have done We chased away the sun Let us rot, let us decompose alive in pain We brought along the rain A rope wrapped around our throats, a selfish suicide Descending the slippery slope, we follow the tide A desire to just disappear and forget we're alive It will be like we were never here, as if we're yet to arrive We're not well enough to leave well enough alone Forever waiting for our moment to pass We have always been a danger to ourselves A concept not so difficult to grasp

From A Fly To A Maggot 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Writhing, squirming, feeding on the flesh of the wounded Sickening subhuman waste Disgusting, diseased, resemblance to the rotting dead Aging skin drips from your face Crawl back to the cave from whence you came You should have never seen the light of day Cannibalistic, sadistic fly Insect born only to die Not yet deceased, not really alive Scavenger in an unforgiving wasteland Drinking blood from punctured veins Like a coward fled from the fight, only returning when the smoke had cleared and the enemy was slain Picking meat from the bones of men you did not kill, making cowardice a habit A carnivore without the guts to spill, from a fly to a maggot Repulsive parasite, body like a tomb Butcher the offspring inside the cocoon of dysfunctional birth Exterminate all that remains of the psychotically perverse As the spiteful wings are spread there's a growing sense of dread A cold black shadow advancing like a swarm The hordes of hate have multiplied, all resistance swept aside Forces of fate create a catastrophic storm Like a maggot transformed from a fly, evolution defies the theory

Enemies Of Earth 03:54
lyrics
buy track
To witness the world through the innocent eyes of a child, the earth purified To walk through the valley of the shadow of death just to simply survive The planet lies in disarray, her assassins roaming free Laws that have been disobeyed Forgetting who we're supposed to be Ill prepared to serve our sentence Mortal enemies of repentance Inherited far more than your worth Evolution is being reversed The wayward young only make things worse Shoved knives into our mother's back Next to nothing left intact The future of mankind is under attack You stand for nothing because you don't have the strength to get up from your knees The globe will crack inside its shell The storm will cast a spell This will become our brand new hell Pass the blame for pain caused then seek approval and applause No matter what kind of crowd it draws You took all the choice away from me and marched under the false flag of freedom Every fallen empire has a conquered king at its throne Every gravesite has a warning on its face carved in stone You made mistakes, it took a toll For all our sakes give back what you stole You cut your teeth among the weak of heart Now you're the thief stealing light and bringing dark

Fear My Wrath 03:25
lyrics
buy track
You're the unfortunate one You're the one who's in danger You should know what you've done We are no more than strangers Misunderstandings and misplaced words Dragged into deals I didn't deserve Your lack of thought's what got me here Deceived by every lie you hear Countless wars I've fought and lived Though blood was lost there's more to give You overstepped and crossed my path You should have known to fear my wrath As enemies we will collide Your senses have left you behind You threatened all that I've built I've come prepared, it's my time to kill Enjoy your moment of causing me pain The flames of my hatred will burn it away You knew the risks involved The bigger you think you are the harder you'll fall Your blood will stain these streets And serve as a warning for all to see You're the unfortunate one You're the one who's in danger You should know what you've done We are no more than strangers There was a time I called you a friend I extended my hand, I won't do it again I'm claiming what's mine and my flag is your corpse Strength beyond anger, defense reinforced Among the liars I've always stayed true I've earned my respect, I'm one of the few You made a mistake when you mentioned my name And pointed your finger towards me in blame I didn't want this, I walk a different path You should have been cautious You should've known to fear my wrath

The Devil In The Details 09:55
lyrics
buy track
The quiet of the night gives me peace in spite of everything you told me A spoken word is a thought wasted I'll never care how much you know me I've lost my sense of belonging with you I'm so sick of being watched I'm so tired of feeling lost I push back on everyone else but you cried and begged as if you needed my help I'm so sick of my mind I'm so tired of hearing it talk I want to turn the volume down, hide it far away somewhere emotion drowns Introduced to the friend of a friend Once he's gone I'll need him again I feel better, sometimes for days Forget my problems and get lost in the haze The taste on my tongue is bittersweet My skin crawls with violent reactions It's a risk I will gladly repeat to achieve satisfaction Forever loyal to the broken side, I've kept my enemies close Expose my soul and leave it open wide, caught somewhere between man and a ghost Another night where the day stays the same Mentally disfigured and unspeakably depraved I didn't hear the mirror's whispered warnings It took back more than it gave I've lost the sense of belonging in me My neck has finally reached the end of the rope I can't outrun myself when there's nowhere else to go The more I medicate the more I'm getting ill Perform an exorcism on my own free will Into the gaping mouth of madness I'm here alone, it's only me I hover far beyond my body I don't recognize what I see Cold as ice, cold to the touch I wanted better for my life All my parts are paralyzed, I'm growing weaker by the day They told me nothing would come easy In my heart I fantasized I'd finally found a way They told me noone would believe me I'd rather burn than fade away Nothing will ever make me stay As I settle in for the long ride I wonder what it's like on the other side I hear the spirits when the wind cries but I never come across any blue skies Why? Why?

Slaves To A New God 03:34
lyrics
buy track
Just as we rid ourselves of a tyrant We kneel as slaves to a new god You and I bear the mark of our master His signature is etched like a nameplate for the soul Before his influence had ended in disaster We thought he'd never let us go We were always kept safe with no need to feel When you never get burned there's nothing to heal We didn't know we'd been captured Until the restraints had come off Just as we rid ourselves of a tyrant We knelt as slaves to a new god You and I were finally left unto ourselves Without a safety net to catch us when we crash We thought our independence required no other help So many years had gone by in a flash We no longer felt safe, we stood naked and humbled Every flicker of every nerve caused conditions to crumble The bitter sting of regret could be my imagination Hesitation for the way things went or if we've made a big mistake This is our curse To serve a lord while on this earth We're only pawns trying to prove we still belong We don't have long Here one minute then the next we're gone Just beware, before the choice is made when you aren't there We only got to meet our masters When we reached out and pulled their masks off Just as we rid ourselves of a tyrant We knelt as slaves to a new god

Demonology 05:03
lyrics
buy track
It didn't take me long to recognize what you tried to hide You're not the first one that I've met and I will not forget You won't sneak past my defenses I won't be easily fooled Your persistence may be relentless but I know my own rules We are prepared to die if that's what it takes You tried to catch us sleeping but now we're awake You portray the victim to gain momentum for your cause A wolf in plain sight among the sheep You plant a seed of doubt in the minds of all you come across Terrified of bite without seeing teeth You aligned yourself with forces well beyond your control We have risked our reputations and our very lives We have been mocked, we have been crucified We seek only to slow down humanity's demise We tried to talk, we tried to compromise We know we stand on the righteous side of history These patterns have repeated throughout time, there is no mystery As we sharpen our shovels to dig up dirt we're hoping to discover how to make you hurt When we find another axe to grind we can finally eradicate all of your kind In a fight to control the hearts of man nothing goes according to the plan But when the reaper shows up at your door you want to leave behind a little something more One glance in your eyes can ignite the very fires of hell

Glory For The Wicked 05:00
lyrics
buy track
You're so righteous despite the temptation You stood your ground against all odds You're determined in the pursuit of salvation Your holiness stands next to god's The pleasures of the flesh you've given up You deserve to be treated with trust You stuck by all that you swore Still they ask for more Good things come to those who wait Your patience will be rewarded There is too much at stake Satan must be thwarted Those who cheat, steal, and lie seem so satisfied Those who kill and take life in vain don't experience pain You held inside your hands the keys to set you free But you put your faith in ancient scrolls You set your mind towards belief in something you can't see To save your precious mortal soul There is no evidence til your body passes on Leave all glory for the wicked and humbly bow your head If you pray long enough maybe you'll be blessed instead You are caught between sadness and misery And there's no end in sight You are starting to doubt what you're told And wandering away from the light Longing for answers, looking for peace All of this tension that begs for release Discontent rises, jealousy grows You're running in circles with nowhere to go Do you turn your back and go your own way? Do you cross the white line and go into the grey? Do you chase away heaven and welcome unknown? Or wait for an ending forever postponed? Devotion to meaningless suffering Infinite purposeless sacrifice

One Final Failure 05:08
lyrics
buy track
I'm getting sick of hearing talk None of this means a thing to me If what they say is true then I'm not half of what I'm supposed to be Blessed with talent, yet for years I've pissed away my prime Millions born deprived of hope, I'll let them have what's left of mine It isn't fear of god that drives the nail right through my open chest It's knowing that I had it all but didn't care to give my best I've screamed my bitter judgement at the one who's earned the blame I hardly recognize him even though we share a name I'm under no illusions I've tried to find solutions I know I've failed you and worst of all I've failed myself I've always had my secrets, there's things I swore I'd never tell I spent most nights alone so wandering eyes can't fix their gaze Humans crave destruction and who knows what lying mouths will say It's one thing to live with the fact I killed my very soul But bad things become worse with words that I cannot control I used to feel a sense of pride but replaced it all with hate I didn't realize the future of my world was still at stake I'm under no illusions I've given up on solutions I seek some new direction before I lose connection A piece of me feels incomplete I must surrender to defeat My thoughts are words I can't repeat I'm rendered obsolete Expected to become elite Not so simple to delete Nothing kept discreet when news has hit the street If my desire turns up dead you'll know I just could not unlock the door inside my fucking head If I cannot live up to what you said then I've become the thing that I most dread I can't look myself in the face If I'm so fucking great then why do I feel like everyone else?

about

This is my fifth full-length album and the beginning of a new era for Dehumanized Deity. The previous album “Everything Ends” signalled the closing of the first chapter. The songwriting, musicianship, and production have entered a new phase and this is the first step in that phase. This album contains my observations on the current and future state of the world, my observations on my own faults and shortcomings, and how things changed in both respects. This album is about destruction and ignorance. Mine and everyone else’s included.
