apathy 04:12
lyrics
Hypnotized by the life we've always known Always connected somehow more alone Will we pretend that we're above it all When we are left to blame ourselves for the fall Denial seals the tomb Complacency, apathy, doom We are bystanders to our own demise Brazenly becoming all that we despise Faith collapsed and crippled drowning in the mire All resolve melting like a snowflake in a fire Denial seals the tomb Complacency, apathy, doom Conscience blinded by complacency Sowing the seeds of future's misery Can we be forgiven for our ignorance If we trade the world's salvation for our own bliss Denial seals the tomb Complacency, apathy, doom Ivory starts to crack within the tower walls Shifting sands reveal the foundation's rot Shaking our convictions in the lies we bought Still denying truth when the pied piper calls Say goodbye to all your pleasures once taken for granted, deprived of all convenience and comfort forgotten, deny that all your callousness left you forsaken, decry them all who witnessed the truth and foretold, the sky will fall the earth will be left for dead

narcissism 06:24
lyrics
Vanity lives at the surface Concealing what lingers below Lust to fulfill your own purpose Causes the suffering to grow Desire separated from reason Frenetic the ego persists Feverish in spite of the season Furious winds start to twist Indifferent to the plight of your fellow-creature Contented with the visage inside of the mirror Obsessed with the flattery of your own features Ignorant of the storm that draws ever nearer Like ripples disrupting the water Exceptionalism takes hold Now as the worlds getting hotter Your soul has already been sold Arrogant wishes for fortune Violently blown on the whims Rent by ethereal torsion The future begins to look grim Indifferent to the plight of your fellow-creature Contented with the visage inside of the mirror Obsessed with the flattery of your own features Ignorant of the storm that draws ever nearer Whirling winds sheer at the psyche Barbed fragments rip at the flesh Thinking only of what might be Ravaged until nothing's left Gripped in the maelstrom of chaos Born of narcissistic lust Bound by this unholy seance Bones pulverized into dust

voracity 07:11
lyrics
Feasting on fetid flesh Filling the emptiness Drowning the pain with filth Frivolously obsessed Comfort commodified Cravings commercialized Trifles displacing bliss Carelessly claim your prize Mass production satisfies the distended demand Of the wanton waste of resources this lifestyle commands Once proud beasts roaming free Reduced to miserable wretches in factories Pesticides sprayed on fields of feed Fattening livestock for butchery In spite the suffering and the blight The negligence and oversight Gluttony singularly rash The banquet's remnants become trash Buried in noxious slush Under a toxic gush Skies crack and thunder booms Filth has become your tomb Struggle all that you might Never escape your plight Better to hold your tongue Acid rain fills your lungs Mass production satisfies the distended demand Of the wanton waste of resources this lifestyle commands Once proud beasts roaming free Reduced to miserable wretches in factories Pesticides sprayed on fields of grain Fattening livestock to be slain In spite the suffering and the blight The negligence and oversight Gluttony singularly rash The banquet's remnants become trash Struggle all that you please Never your sins appeased Better to hold your tongue Acid rain fills your lungs Sucking in noxious fumes Stuck in a poison bloom Skies crack and thunder blasts Inexorable collapse

avarice 05:20
lyrics
Chicanery of the masses grows Royal dyes for common clothes Subjugated for their sweat and toil To scour the earth for coal and oil Exploited populations on marionette strings Plutocratic machinations purloin the wealth their labor brings Worker drones in the factory Operating machinery Leading lives of a certain sort Miserable, laborious, and short Exploited populations on marionette strings Serving the only creatures that consume without producing Corporate greed siphons fortunes from the needy Capitalistic creed measure growth not quality Ever as the seed is sown seven billion mouths to feed Avarice the weed ensuring that the paupers bleed Skies black with smoke and soot Trash trampled underfoot Byproducts of the heedless greed Footprints which we failed to heed Exploiting earth's resources for an economic gain Refusing to acknowledge the destruction and the pain Wall street grinds to a halt Silicon valley is a sea of salt Even kings become refugees When the oceans start to squeeze Formerly exploiters find themselves within the thresh Jockeying in vain against the mob they once suppressed Corporate greed siphons fortunes from the needy Capitalistic creed measure growth not quality Ever as the seed is sown seven billion mouths to feed Avarice the weed ensuring that the paupers bleed

animosity 04:23
lyrics
Animosity across the aisle Passions burn but actions falter Partisan sheep marching in double-file Towards sacrifice upon the altar Hurling filth allegiances declared Each carbon copies of the other Incoherent guidance leaves us unprepared As our synthetic arboretum starts to smother Anger breeds discontent cracks form in the cement Foundations turn to dust Eroding civic trust Anger breeds discontent Sowing seeds of dissent Sovereign schemes atrophy Unleashing insurgency Entrenched in cruel relentless turmoil Exiled upon the frozen plain Fervors ignited as the sea boils The veil of morals rent in twain Wracked against the glacial landscape Bloodshed without compromise Scorched by the sun the ice is melting The platform threatens to capsize Ceaselessly the oceans' tide advances Partisans paying little mind Enslaved in strive surrendering their chances As the council chamber fills with brine Anger breeds discontent cracks form in the cement Foundations turn to dust Eroding civic trust Anger breeds discontent Sowing seeds of dissent Sovereign schemes atrophy Unleashing insurgency

denial 05:24
lyrics
Gone are the days when heretics burned at the stake Shunned for presuming to learn what the gods had forbade Students of science denounced as occult renegades For trying to dispel the debris of the faithfuls' mistakes Gone are the days when philosophers looked to the stars Sure of a future ordained by the fates from afar Reason replaces the mystic with objective truth Time only tells just how ignorant we really are Knowledge found deficient of its claim to fame Power impotently lost to the insane Level heads elect to utilize their brain Ignorance elects to cast its ballot just the same Ramparts of ignorance fall to the forces of thought Slated to supplant superstitions disciples were taught Still there are those who insist on denying the lot Blind to the dangers with which their convictions are fraught Convinced medicine is all poison refusing the cure Their world it is plain is not turning of this they are sure But the worst of the neurotic incomprehension is this Denying our climate's degrading and living in bliss Knowledge found deficient of its claim to fame Power impotently lost to the insane Level heads elect to utilize their brain Ignorance elects to cast its ballot just the same The coffin is closing one foot is inside of the grave Soon there will be nothing left of our future to save Knowledge alone insufficient for quelling the flames Powers that be still contented with playing their games The moment for action neglected and lost long ago Paradise lying in ruin the embers aglow Reckless emission is still adding fuel to the fire The burning bush shows us our time has already expired Knowledge found deficient of its claim to fame Power impotently lost to the insane Level heads elect to utilize their brain Ignorance elects to cast its ballot just the same

destruction 04:09
lyrics
We tarnish the world by our presence alone By the adverse effects of the privileged we've known We poisoned the oceans to suit our desire Now we drown in the river of boiling blood and fire We become the trees we saw fit to replace Devoured by harpies while rooted in place The world now devoid of the life we expunged Into the desert of burning sand we will plunge Deforestation to make room for raising more beef Tourism ravaging oceans of their coral reefs Millions of species are threatened with going extinct Anthropic destruction is driving the world to the brink

deception 05:00
lyrics
Shills! Leeches living off the blood Of sovereignty's corruption Dragging honor through the mud Deception - blinded by malicious light Lanterns filled with snake oil illuminating only lies Knowledge suppressed by wolves in disguise Selling us out as the jackals claim their prize Shills! Leeches living off the blood Of sovereignty's corruption dragging honor through the mud Deception - blinded by malicious light Knowledge suppressed by wolves in disguise Driven by their lust for disproportionate Capacity to satiate their greed Resentful of the rabble's cries for decency Consider heresy by tyrants who would rather see them bleed Shills! Leeches living off the blood Of sovereignty's corruption dragging honor through the mud Deception - blinded by malicious light Knowledge suppressed by wolves in disguise The state is under siege by corporate lobbyists Manipulating facts to fit their schemes (narrative/plot) On behalf of plastic, lead and cigarettes And their toxic waste polluting our rivers and streams But of all the wretched perjury imposed with its ill effects already brought to bear Is the understated impact of carbon dioxide Our climate is fucked and our leaders don't care Undermining evidence through subterfuge and blackmail Funding their own fraudulent inquest Bribing academics who reside inside their pockets While they intimidate and silence all the rest Loosening their purse strings for public relations "It's harmless!" so the advertisements claim Beseeching us to "Trust the dutch boy and shun old man gloom" All while fabricating scapegoats to circumvent the blame Shills! Leeches living off the blood Of sovereignty's corruption Dragging honor through the mud Deception - blinded by malicious light Lanterns filled with snake oil illuminating only lies Knowledge suppressed by wolves in disguise Selling us out as the jackals claim their prize

treachery 08:29
lyrics
Behold the wretchedness entombed on the frozen plain Witness the darkest sins of humanity embodied by their perpetrators Treachery not merely against ones kin or king Betrayal of the future promised unto the children of men Inviting the malignant spirit of entropy as a guest into the parlor Fissures desolate the barren landscape as the permafrost thaws Creatures once encased in ice emerge and bloat with decay Their sins unleashed as a scourge upon the land As putrefaction claims the mortal flesh The burgeoning noxious cloud a harbinger of annihilation Once atop a throne of blood Colluding to augment their reign Rescinding oaths requisite for escape Now gnashed and gnawed within the vulgar maw Of the prime evil to which their souls were long since forfeit *Of the prime evil to which our fate is long since forfeit

about

Descend the depths of human depravity. The ambitious 1st full length release from extreme metal maniacs, Annex Texas. This album reflects on the dismal state of the world, noting the cause can most often be attributed to human arrogance. This grim re-imaging of Dante's Inferno asks the question, "What if our true hell is the one we create for ourselves on earth?"
