Lyrics to Persona Non Grata [Full Album 2021] by Exodus

Tracklist: 01. Persona Non Grata [Verse 1] I am the one you blacklist The one so quickly dismissed My being, untoward No hatred unexplored Discarded, cast aside All anger magnified This is my emancipation Cut the tumor buried deep inside [Chorus] Your voice brings me to rage I can't stand the thought of you Persona Non Grata [Verse 2] Repay my faith misguided This falling house divided My words you disavow Verbal shots across my bow Cannon fodder I'll be no more Enemy now at your door This is my emancipation My silence now becomes a roar [Chorus] Your voice brings me to rage I can't stand the sight of you Persona Non Grata [Post-Chorus] I've been thе downcast I've took the blame For all thе shit you've laid on me You put me dead last Defile my name to bring me to my knees I will rise up and drop you out Revolution under way I buy your silence, paid for in violence This is my independence day [Bridge 1] Your voice brings me to rage I can't stand the thought of you Discord is my true reward [Instrumental Break] [Bridge 2] I detest you, I protest you I've obsessed you You require me, you retire me You rewire me [Verse 3] I walk away unsoiled My revenge uncoiled The one you so despised Now one not recognized Here I stand, tower above you Under foot, I think not of you This is my emancipation Living in a world devoid of you [Chorus] Your voice brings me to rage I can't stand the thought of you Persona Non Grata [Outro] Persona Non Grata Persona Non Grata 02. R.E.M.F Obey the order Charge into the breach Battalions take up the fight While fat ass bureaucrats far out of reach Watch via satellite Power politics while thousands of klicks From the front lines Brave men at arms Take the bull by the horns Winning, their bottom line Cannon fire makes the skies glow Brass and lead make the cash flow Bleed and die, why, we don't know On behalf of all these Rear Echelon MotherFuckers Quell the storm And ridе the thunder Fighting across the dividе In the name of all the lies and the blunders Of men not qualified We know ballistics And they know statistics Acceptable death rates But if gunfire were near Would they volunteer? Bullets don't discriminate Cannon fire makes the skies glow Brass and lead make the cash flow Bleed and die, why, they don't know On behalf of all these On behalf of all these On behalf of all these Rear Echelon MotherFuckers 03. Slipping Into Madness A silent killer Something you have never heard of That is taking lives away so lethally Never minding What it is that is consumed And with deadly consequences as the key Diabilito Nicknamed the little devil Has the country in an epidemic state Pharma chemists Have now recreated it And given it another name The cartels, the doctors, the pharmacists Infection, affliction, dissention The death tolls, thе red room, sedation Addiction plaguing the youth Slipping into madnеss Fire up the high Slipping into madness Just slip away and die Slipping into madness Fire up the high Slipping into madness Just slip away and die So pay the dealer And score a little bag Because ground control has now killed Major Tom Compulsive nature That is tearing at your soul And you didn't read the writing on the wall That the injection Isn't overdrawn And the hit becomes another chance to die The sudden rushing With euphoria's achieved Nodding with the needle still inside The cartels, the doctors, the pharmacists Infection, affliction, dissention The death tolls, the red room, sedation Addiction plaguing the youth Slipping into madness Fire up the high Slipping into madness Just slip away and die Slipping into madness Fire up the high Slipping into madness Just slip away and die The brutal truth is The opiated generation Now a poster child for suicide The blind consumption Can be one's demise As depressions in a catatonic state Now in a coma And breathing through a tube LD2MG is all it takes Another service Another family member gone Handed the certificate of fate The cartels, the doctors, the pharmacists Infection, affliction, dissention The death tolls, the red room, sedation Addiction plaguing the youth Slipping into madness Fire up the high Slipping into madness Just slip away and die Slipping into madness Fire up the high Slipping into madness Just slip away and die 04. Elitist Social climber Know-it-all Patronizer Punisher Stuck up, pretentious and overbearing High and mighty when the world implodes Condescending, an upstart offender Cruel and callous when I know you are wrong Ring on the bell to call for service Bang on the gong to clean the mess up Now I've used every friend I've ever had And it doesn't look like I'm stopping there! I'm an elitist (Elitist) Cuz I'm an elitist (Elitist) A-list big shot Smarter than most Yes, egotistic Money to boast Slicing up the stiff neck and lifting the high brow Focusing on things I get for free Opinions superior, attitudes aloud Here comes another victim to bleed Ring on the bell to call for service Bang on the gong to clean the mess up Now I've used every friend I've ever had And it doesn't look like I'm stopping there! Antagonistic Money monger Passive sadistic Makes me stronger Barefaced and brassy and flagrantly fucked Loud, ostentatious and crass Extensively fancy but soft to the touch Smile to your face when I pocket your cash Ring on the bell to call for service Bang on the gong to clean the mess up Now I've used every friend I've ever had And it doesn't look like I'm stopping there! I'm an elitist (Elitist) I'm an elitist (Elitist) 05. Prescribing Horror Discarded, deformed Babies of the chemical age Mutated, some unborn Dying in their fetal cage On the day of the nativity in '56 Comes a child forsaken The first of a hundred thousand Cursed by a drug they'd taken Condemned to a life unkind As they suffered in silence The Hell of Thalidomide All in the name of science A mother's ruin All for another's greed Prescribing horror and sorrow when they breed Miscarriage, disparagе Live a life of anguish Midwives wеre taking lives So the child it would not languish Suffocating newborn daughters and sons For their malformations Given toxic poison That twisted a generation Condemned to a life unkind As they suffered in silence The Hell of Thalidomide All in the name of science A mother's ruin All for another's greed Prescribing horror and sorrow when they breed First created in the past As an antidote for Sarin gas Created in camps of death What price a pound of flesh? Limbless, eyeless All organs displaced They made money hand over fist By selling this toxic waste Condemned to a life unkind As they suffered in silence The Hell of Thalidomide All in the name of science A mother's ruin All for another's greed Prescribing horror and sorrow when they breed 06. The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves) [Verse 1] Another day, another riot Another fire lighted Has got you feeling down They're coming with the cure And demanding that you try it I hear it’s the talk of the town A little PMA through pepper spray To put a little joy right in your day Bringing cheer in riot gear All you gotta do is obey [Verse 2] All the rank and file Take their beatings and smile As they cross your names off the list Welcome to the fold With a chokehold Preach to the flock with a fist Sunny days will dawn At the end of a baton Turn grey skies black and blue Remedy the mood With a blood feud Here's what you gotta do [Chorus] Smile at all the beatings All the punches and the greetings All the blows and the bleeding Until you like it Smile at being battered All the bones being shattered All the blood being splattered Until you like it Rejoice in all the horror Until you can't ignore her And you revel in disorder Soon you’ll like it Grin at the abuse You've got nothing left to lose [Post-Chorus] The beatings will continue Until morale improves [Guitar Solos] [Chorus] Smile at all the beatings All the punches and the greetings All the blows and the bleeding Until you like it Smile at being battered All the bones being shattered All the blood being splattered Until you like it Rejoice in all the horror Until you can't ignore her And you revel in disorder Soon you'll like it Grin at the abuse You've got nothing left to lose [Outro] The beatings will continue Until morale improves The beatings will continue Until morale improves The beatings will continue Until morale improves The beatings will continue Until morale improves 07. The Years Of Death And Dying [Verse 1] I am the years of death and dying I tear with gripping teeth I prey upon all the weary Eliminate the weak Not a day in your life passes When you won’t think of me No thought and prayers can save you So get up off of your knees When I sense a weakness I move in with blazing speed Mothers, brothers, fathers and sons It matters not to me [Chorus] I’m a force of nature pure and sure I’ve killed through all of time When a "Gale" force wind blows through you You’ll know that you are mine I am legend, I’m your end You’ll wither when I’m near I’m the years of death and dying The sum of all your fears [Verse 2] You may have had a brush with me Escaped and saved yourself Most likely I was occupied With killing someone else Legends fall when I come to call As I plan my next attack "Petty" things won’t matter Just ask "the Man in Black" The "Rage" is gone and so is "Bon" So young in their demise I ended the "Eruption" I took them in their prime [Chorus] I’m a force of nature pure and sure I’ve killed through all of time When a "Gale" force wind blows through you You’ll know that you are mine I am legend, I’m your end You’ll wither when I’m near I’m the years of death and dying The sum of all your fears [Guitar Solo: Gary Holt] [Guitar Solo: Lee Altus] [Verse 3] I cull the herd with no remorse Taking souls along the "Way" I’m here to set the balance Of all you have to pay I turned "Ziggy" into "Stardust" I’ve been killing ever since I took an "Eagle" from the sky I even killed a "Prince" Struck down the "Queen" Bid "Farewell to Kings" I took the "Angel of Death" I’m always at the ready To take away your breath [Chorus] I’m a force of nature pure and sure I’ve killed through all of time When a "Gale" force wind blows through you You’ll know that you are mine I am legend, I’m your end You’ll wither when I’m near I’m the years of death and dying The sum of all your fears 08. Clickbait [Verse 1] False headlines full of lies To keep us entertained Promises made to lure you in Yet nothing gained Draw you in like vultures To a pile of rotting meat The snare is set in bold lettering As we swallow the deceit [Pre-Chorus] So naïve So easily deceived So ignorant Fall for all the tales they weave They mislead They speak and every word we heed Hearing only what we think we need [Chorus] We take the clickbait Follow as they lead With every word the captivate We blindly follow Their trail like human sheep Never awake, always asleep [Guitar Solo: Gary Holt] [Verse 2] Twisting people’s words and then They pour them in your ears In with the lies, out with the truth All facts just disappear Spoken words are mangled into ones you never meant All distorted, corrupting all intent [Pre-Chorus] So naïve So easily deceived So ignorant Fall for all the tales they weave They mislead They speak and every word we heed Hearing only what we think we need [Chorus] We take the clickbait Follow as they lead With every word the captivate We blindly follow Their trail like human sheep Never awake, always asleep [Guitar Solo: Lee Altus] [Verse 3] Our journalistic masters Command and we obey Fall in line like lemmings That feed these birds of prey Do as we say not as we do Stop thinking on your own Scream for more red meat While gnawing on the bone [Pre-Chorus] So naïve So easily deceived So ignorant Fall for all the tales they weave They mislead They speak and every word we heed Hearing only what we think we need [Chorus] We take the clickbait Follow as they lead With every word the captivate We blindly follow Their trail like human sheep Never awake, always asleep 09. Cosa Del Pantano [Instrumental] 10. Lunatic-Liar-Lord Eaten alive by your own devotion Cannibalized by your own beliefs Faith derived by foolish notions The afterlife is for the naïve The treason of all reason A celebration of ignorance Bathing in the blood of the lamb Is the murder of all innocence Assimilation, compensation A congregation to be ignored Fall in line for your own demise For your Lunatic-Liar-Lord Religious weapons of mass destruction A financial weapon for class warfare Monetary need for reproduction Cashing checks written in despair The treason of all reason A celebration of ignorance Bathing in the blood of the lamb Is the murder of all innocence Assimilation, compensation A congregation to be ignored Fall in line for your own demise For your Lunatic-Liar-Lord Warring factions More distractions Whoring actions To deceive and blind you Their true mission Their one condition Their inquisition To trap and bind you The fear of science and the science of fear Led to the slaughter by your Judas steer Marked with blood and stained with pollution Sell your soul for your own absolution Wager that you'll find him waiting there At the end of your days Enter through the gates of heaven In his name you praise Come to find it's just a state of mind It's a fairy tale We all go to Hell I sing this day a requiem A funeral dirge to the war on Christ The false prince of Bethlehem Exposed as mankind's greatest heist The treason of all reason A celebration of ignorance Bathing in the blood of the lamb Is the murder of all innocence Assimilation, compensation A congregation to be ignored Fall in line for your own demise For your Lunatic-Liar-Lord 11. The Fires Of Division Divided what was once united By ideology of hate Incited till the two collided Eagerly we take the bait Drowning in a sea of lies I feign no surprise at our fate Consume all the shit they feed Excrete it back on the plate Stoking the fires of division Burning our world away Building the ire and derision Freedom's just another word For nothing left to lose The lines are drawn between right and wrong You only have to choose This is our time Our moment for mutiny Give me death or liberty Do you believe in everything you hear? Believe everything you see? Afraid of what you're told to fear Cower from what is to be Embers of society Ashes of the nation Will rain upon us all And our crumbling foundation Burning, no hope returning Democracy set aflame Churning, all peace adjourning Willingly we play the game Wallowing in a field of shit From where I sit it's all the same No strength until united Proudly we hail our name Stoking the fires of division Burning our world away Building the ire and derision Freedom's just another word For nothing left to lose The lines are drawn between right and wrong You only have to choose This is our time Our moment for mutiny Give me death or liberty 12. Antiseed Harvest day with a loaded mag Human crops in a body bag Machines of death under bloody flags Plow the fields and fertilize Plant the seeds and everything dies Giving life only to the flies Sow the bullets and nothing's left but the weeds Till the soil until the earth bleeds The smell of mankind rotting on the vine The season of decline Plant the antiseed Watch the death grow The only way to feed And make the blood flow The reaping Plow the fields of gore Hеar the weeping? It's harvest time Nothing grows on fallow hills Seeds plantеd shallow still In the end there's nothing left to kill These roots won't fade away They grow deeper every day Destroying everything in play Sow the bullets and nothing's left but the weeds Till the soil until the earth bleeds The smell of mankind rotting on the vine The season of decline Plant the antiseed Watch the death grow The only way to feed And make the blood flow The reaping Plow the fields of gore Hear the weeping? It's harvest time Germinate it and bring it to the end Cultivate the dying we attend The antiseed spore brings death to us all And we watch it all fall
