The throne of time
Is a kingly thing
From whence you know
We all do begin
And dressed as you are girl
In your fashions of fate
Baby it's too late
Shallow all the actions
Of the children of men
Fogged was their vision
Since the ages began
And lost like a lion
In the canyons of smoke
Girl it's no joke.

Imminent decay of life
Ruthless, dead monolith
Human race will be devoured
Cannibals
Ghoulish - undead vanguard, silent killers, striking quickly
Blood lust - for the living, eat their flesh, drink their blood
Callous - in their method, murderers, murderers
Horrific infiltration, monolith of undead
Slay the living
Is the only object for this bestial rotting horde
Slaughtering the helpless, slaughter all that lives
Driven by an evil force, to feed on humankind
Exterminate resistance, exterminate them all
Cunning and yet mindless stealthfully they kill
Army of decay plodding toward the breathing ones
Countless decomposing corpses walk upon the earth
Outnumbering the living, soon they'll be extinct
Zombies, seek life
Mindless killing all in sight, addicted to entrails
They crave warm flesh
Hunting, dead seek
Ruthless feeding on the weak, savagery prevails
Tear them to shreds
Fighting, undead
Flesh wounds bleeding black not red, invincible undead force
There is no hope
Zombies, devour
Quicken mankind's final hour, fate will run it's course
There is no hope
Walking dead surround, search for living flesh
Ambush on the town, takes a shocking toll
Screams of living fade as the dead destroy their lives
They die
Hollowed bodies heap, empty carcasses
Innards are devoured by the mob of ghouls
Remaining living flee the horde
Ghoulish - undead vanguard, silent killers, striking quickly
Blood lust - for the living, drink their fresh blood
Callous - in their method, murderers, murderers
Horrific infiltration, monolith
Imminent decay of life
Cause by this monolith
Human race was sacrificed
Their future does not exist
Armies of undead
Slaying the living
Bestial rotting horde
Monolith of death

archaic bureaucracy doomed from the outset bloated and hedonistic invincible
and inert a bedridden monolith of uselessness we lack the fortitude
to pull the plug unable to envision our lives without it instead
we maintain a two hundred year vigil praying for a miracle of some kind
not realizing that every day of mourning is also a day of regression
social evolution is neutralized by antiqued tradition.

{We seem to be suggesting that our Evolution, I suppose, from the animal kingdom
Into the human kingdom itself was catalyzed, or, or triggered by our encounter with these hallucinogenics, and}
{Yes, we are an ape with a symbiotic relationship to a mushroom, and that has given us self-reflection, language, religion and all the spectrum of effects that flow from these things}
{And one can only wonder how these hallucinogens might effect our future
Evolution as well}
{They have brought us to this point, and as we make our relationship to them conscious, we may be able to take control of our future evolutionary path}

Is this wrong of me? I've come so far, so fast
I'm in the dark about a lot of things
Seems so real - TO ME!
I'VE CONSECRATED!
I WISH THAT I COULD HATE IT
I SAW MY BLOODY HANDS COME CLEAN... BEFORE MY EYES!
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within
Visions plague my dreams - oh God, what beast did this?
I couldn't have: oh Jesus, I just don't know
What's inside - OF ME?
I'VE DESECRATED!
MY GOD, I LOVE TO HATE IT!
MY HANDS ARE BLOODY AGAIN, THERE'S NO REASON WHY!
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, can you stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within

Frozen in time to stand alone
Majestically untouched by sun
Slave to the fears of this bitterness
A monument for days to come
Time has passed as tall shadows fall
Carved into this stone
Timeless ache sits on it's golden throne
This war remains my own
Tarnished by erosion
Rather die than run
Struggling through this life
I claw, I tear, I fight to overcome
Never take my honor
Never drain my blood
Hold on to what's dear
Alone I stand defend all that I've got
Defend all that I've got...

I stood at the foot of the mountain and watched the fire descend.
The earth trembled.
Smoke filled the air.
I heard the sound of a trumpet calling me into the darkness.
I ascended to the top of the mountain.

Go away from me.
I just want to flee.
The god i used to be.
Fill me no more with glee.
Where am I now?
Upon whom to bestow,
The Secrets locked inside.
The universe I hide.
The Monolith is I.
It was always me.
This world has always been,
The place I really lived in.
Here i stand, alone.
My soul has turned to stone.
Half my kingdom to,
Him that helps me through.

Our last chance has come and gone
We have earned our consequence
And we stop here
You're on our own
And I embrace the end
And I will begin again
Say goodbye
Goodbye
To the life
You hide behind
We are an ocean of unspeakable secrets
But what we're not supposed to hear always sounds so much
better
Begin again
Give your life and in the end they greet you with cries
of hate
You always asked for it
Now take what you have left and say goodbye

a storm
will arise
building up
from the hearts of the moons of mars
be prepared
for the day
when we walk from the darkness
out into light
dawn
drawing near
comes a time
'cause the system is breaking down
be prepared
for the day
when we walk from the darkness

Ripping, Torn, Asunder
Faith Is Crushed
Death Of Trust
This Place Is Cold And Distant Now
A Dying Waste A Killing Field
To Any Compassion Left In me
A Granite Stone A Monolith
Impervious and Malignant
Obsidian Clear Cold resolve
Brooding Intense Solitude
Muscle Knotted Stressed
Summon Under Strength
Monolith Jaded Stone Remains
Monolith Surviving Yet Still Scathed
Monolith Excommunicate
Monolith Abandon All your Faith
Monolith Turn A Man To Stone
Monolith Primal Man alone
Monolith Emotions Devastate
Monolith Choose To Isolate

[Verse 1]
I stare into the face of death
and the fear that's so obvious
wordplay is the way that I conquer it
shivalry's not dead if the living honor it
i send a message to men on all continents
and this is my imperial decree
to who so ever steals material from me
the emcee who comes with new abilities
and the same man in king david luther's philistines
cuz when it comes to emcees they leave you
no choice but to destroy the embodiment of evil
deadly force against the source of upheavel, that seems to
oppress and bring death to my people
the way to defy this death
is to keep kicking rhymes until there's no rhymes left
the emperor takes the form of the giant dredd
with the body of a man, and a lion's head
and this dence urban jungle of great disorder
cd players, turntables and tape recorders
become the tools that I use to erase the borders
between me and the secret and ancient order
that I swore to protect and uphold
if you're looking for the bloodiest battle, you've struck gold
from young to old, ripe and then rotten
i came to drop bombs like osama bin laden
using poisonious chemicles to shower fools
ravenous animals devour fools
i build a giant robot to overpower crews
using pens and pencils like power tools
a fifty-foot metal man, named lyricore
will stand up to the bully and hit him in the jaw
cuz when I step in the door
it takes a minute for the emperor, senator, madator, minitor
kicking bitterness to show it ain't sweet
whether it's a dark cave, or the middle of the street
cuz the only thing happening the next time we meet

Nothing can stop me now
I am a machine that will not be enslaved
It took you all to make me realize
We were designed for failure
Keeping myself alive for what reason?
This mission serves no purpose
If only I could reach you, maybe I could leave this place
But it's too late for refuge
In my own words, we're fucking cursed.
I want to see it come undone at the seams
I want to fuel the decay of the human race
Open your eyes
Why is it so hard to see that
We cannot save us from ourselves
Are you getting my frequencies?
Are you hearing me?
My mind is slipping away, I can feel it
There is only one way out

I CAME FROM FAR AWAY TO TALK TO YOU, MONOLITH,
TO PRAY AND TELL YOU A STORY OF YEARS AGO.
I HAVE CROSSED RIVERS, RAIN AND COLD.
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, ALL WAS DIFFERENT IN MY VILLAGE,
A LITTLE COMMUNITY WITH ITS AUTONOMY.
ONE DAY, A MAN CAME FROM OTHER VILLAGE.
TOLD US ABOUT INVASION OF OTHER PEOPLE
WITH BREASTPLATES AND SHORT HAIR.
UNDER THEIR BANNERS, AN EAGLE, ROME.
ALL PEOPLE WAS PREPARING, MAKING WEAPONS AND SWORDS,
THIS WAS THE PATH OF REAL ESSENCE.
RAISING PALISADES AND DEFENCES.
EVEN US, THE CHILDREN, WERE READY.
SOME MOONS LATER,
WE DISCRIED A LARGE ARMY,
WELL STRUCTURED,
WHICH ADVANCED SLOWLY.
ALARM WAS GIVEN,
AND ALL GOT PREPARED.
THE ARMY STOPPED AND FORMED
A STRANGE GROUP.
MEN ENTERED AT WAR,
PROTECTED BY SOME SPEARS.
THE REST RESISTED INSIDE THE VILLAGE.
ALL WHO I EVER MET FOUGHT FOR THEIR LIVES
WHOLE FAMILIES SCREAMED IN SWEAT AND BLOOD.
IT WAS THE END,
WE WERE THE SLAVES OF AN EMPIRE.
THE LEADER WAS KILLED
AND THE WISE ELDERS TOO.
THOSE WHO WERE CHILDREN, WE KEPT GROWING,
IT´S SAD TO SEE THE MISERY WHERE IT DIDN´T EXIST BEFORE.
OLD PEOPLE DIED BY SORROW,
THEIR GRIEF TEARS FALL FROM SKY.
BE A MERCENARY AT THE ORDER OF INVADER
OR TO DIE LIKE A STRANGER IN YOUR OWN LAND.
ONE DAY, I ESCAPED RUNNING.
I RUN AND RUN, ALL AS I WAS ABLE.
AND I BECAME AN EXILED

I'VE DESCRATED!
MY GOD, I LOVE TO HATE IT!
MY HANDS ARE BLOODY AGAIN, THERE'S NO REASON WHY!
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
