Lyrics to Dynasties Of Decay [Full Album 2021] by Hellspike

Tracklist: 01. Dynasties Of Decay Can you hear the crackling of a fire burning Can you see the smoke all around Do you know the master with an iron boot Pressing you down to the ground Can you hear the sound of a tolling bell Brother, it's tolling for us all The fire has spread, impossible to stop The time is gone to heed any call The world is burnt to the ground by the final rulers Dynasties of decay Only ashes are left to rule Dynasties of decay Untenable status of the ruling classes A building destined to fall When the floor collapses we all will be gone No place left into which to crawl No slaves left to step on, every man for himself No use for the plunder amassed The Earth bled dry finally wipes the slate clean The time of man has now passed The world is burnt, nothing left to exploit By the faceless master The final legacy - total disaster Dynasties of decay Untenable status of the ruling classes A building destined to fall When the floor collapses we all will be gone No place left into which to crawl No slaves left to step on, every man for himself No use for the plunder amassed The Earth bled dry finally wipes the slate clean The time of man has now passed 02. They Live Do you wake up before you get out of bed Or are you just sleepwalking around Do you realise the world they made for you Broadcast technicolor with sound They control the planet, we're their third world A world that needs a wake up call Can enough people drop their programmed dreams So the powers that be may fall Beware: they live While we sleep Obey and consume, watch TV and conform - This is your god Beware: they live While we sleep Marry, have children, don't question authority Promotions, bank accounts, new houses, cars We'll do anything to be rich But there may come a time when your realise Life's in heat and she's a bitch He who has the gold makes the rule But someday his time will come I came to kick ass and chew bubble gum And I'm all out of bubble gum! Beware: they live While we sleep Obey and consume, watch TV and conform - This is your god Beware: they live While we sleep Did they really come from the stars Or were they always here You leave the movies with a smile on your face With nothing to fear - nothing to fear Then you go back to your daily life Feeding the endless machine So that Jeff can ride a dick into space While you're following on a screen Beware: they live While we sleep Obey and consume, watch TV and conform - This is your god Beware: they live While we sleep Marry, have children, don't question authority Maybe they love to see us hate each other Holding in their grip the life of every man An age of awareness depends on you Put these glasses on or start eating that trashcan 03. Gone To Waste Wasted lives, day after day Following the flock Your mind is numb, punch the card Look up to the clock Your potential, your lost dreams Have no place in real life And still your future seems to dance Upon the edge of a knife Dehumanization Just a cog in the wheel No one cares or wonders What you feel Suffocate in silence Copy, paste All your years of youth Gone to waste In your life You find no means to escape Devoid of courage A caged and helpless ape Consume to exist It's your role in life So buy the trash That justifies your strife You wonder where it all went Expectations of your past Time has come and gone away Your old age coming fast Trying hard to make ends meet Your doctor has bad news The only treatment you can afford Is a stool and a noose Your hopes and dreams Gone to waste You wake up in screams Gone to waste In your life You find no means to escape Devoid of courage A caged and helpless ape Consume to exist It's your role in life So buy the trash That justifies your strife Dehumanization Just a cog in the wheel No one cares or wonders What you feel Suffocate in silence Copy, paste All your years of youth Gone to waste In your life You find no means to escape Devoid of courage A caged and helpless ape Consume to exist It's your role in life So buy the trash That justifies your strife Just a cog in the wheel Gone to waste No one cares what you feel Human waste 04. Hegemony Defied A super power stumbles under the weight of its own name Its reputation deathly wounded, all see what it became Its global domination crumbles down before our eyes Everything that rises someday falls down and dies Falling down Its towers lie destroyed Home of the grave Where freedom became void Home of the grave We need an aggression event A domestic affair To domesticate dissent Fatal defiance - No turning back Hegemony defied - The future turns black Fatal defiance - Now it's too late Hegemony defied - For an empire of hate Falling down Its towers lie destroyed Home of the grave Where freedom became void Home of the grave We need an aggression event A domestic affair To masticate dissent Paper tiger Hollow, dry and decayed Baring its fangs But its strength begins to fade Third world vampire Evil empire Imploding beast That none dared resist Unforeseen forces have now been released Having hypocrites for leaders has taken its toll Maybe in the future there might be a different role From the smoking ruins can something new arise Perhaps with higher ethics and some effort to be wise Fatal defiance - No turning back Hegemony defied - The future turns black Fatal defiance - Now it's too late Hegemony defied - For an empire of hate 05. Divide To Rule Turn on the TV while turning off your mind A factory of distraction with much lurking behind With terror movies much softer than the news Your TV set now sets the rules - sets the rules Watching eyes lead the blind The chaos flashes before your eyes The paradigm of the cruel They use the weapons, they use the lies Without remorse, divide to rule A game that never ends, but cannot be sustained In which so many lost and so few always gained The banks are saved while you're pushed against the wall They say it's better for us all - for us all Follow the orders as you're led into the dark Divide to rule Watching eyes lead the blind The chaos flashes before your eyes The paradigm of the cruel They use the weapons they use the lies Without remorse, divide to rule Tyrants of the first world Write the scripts to be legitimised Unknown fingers pull the strings Elected puppets, slavery legalised Nothing is what it seems Financial schemes, society gagged and bound Unrest grows far too late, no ledge to grab They'll drag us to the ground 06. On Through The Times [Instrumental] 07. Ruthless Invasion Two world wars were not enough Waging war is in humanity's blood Until bones pile up high Shores washed up in a red flood Be prepared for the invasion Prepare to pay the wages of sin From the land, sea and sky The troops of doom are coming in Spitting fire Burning higher Fighting for the despots With helmets topped with spikes The troops aim red hot barrels Dealing deadly strikes Chaos, death, destruction With no end in sight Murderous machinery Smoke obscures all light Black abyss of humanity All morals dead and cast aside In war all bears validity You stand and fight, you run and hide The mutilated cry To a God who is not there Spend their painful final moments In a tearful futile prayer Believe in the empire Believe in slavery Greed breeds vengeance Despair breeds bravery Spitting fire Burning higher Vomit in the trenches The smell of sulphur burns Acid rain stains the skin Morbid fear returns Waiting for the signal To jump out and run Toward the unknown shapes Splattered brains shower your gun Industrial murder Fires are raging New world order Ruthless invasion 08. Lost Reality The decades pass and you come to realise You knew a world that was coming to an end We never got to choose the new reality forced upon the world relentlessly Your new digital life Overseen by artificial intelligence No pain for the wicked No pain for the careless One day they'll fall Dragged into the fate of all A final memory Lost reality Unable to see the faceless salesman Who pretends to be a saviour and a friend Globalised monopolies Globalised war Global inequality Like never seen before The financial apartheid is safe while you are beaten on the streets No pain for the wicked No pain for the careless Are we the problem Can we look back And try to find a time When the future was not so black Was there a time when things might not have gone so wrong - so wrong Were we ever humane Or were we always just insane Social progress was a lie Mankind seems to want to die
