Benadir (Somali: Banaadir, Persian: بنادر Banādir) is a coastal region of Somalia. It covers most of the Indian Ocean coast of the country, from the Gulf of Aden to the Juba River, containing the capital of Mogadishu. The name comes from Persian bandar, which means port (referring to the northern ports of Barawa and Mogadishu), a fact that reflects the region's importance to Persian and Arab trade during the Middle Ages. Benadir is known for a special breed of goats.
The historical region gives its name to the current administrative region (gobolka) of Banaadir.
Today clans like moorshes who are a part of the Benadiri ethnic group who have lived in Somalia for many years are of Ajuran.
Osman Haji Mohamed (Somali: Cusmaan Xaaji Maxamed, Arabic: عثمان حاجي محمد) (b. 1920 – d. July 28, 1975), also known as Osman Baketti, was a Somali politician. He was a prominent figure in the government of the Trust Territory of Somalia and the succeeding civilian administration of independent Somalia.
Osman was born in 1920 in the town of Mareeg, situated in the El Dher District in central Somalia. The son of prominent local figure Mohamed Afrah Garuun, he attended madrassahs in El Dher, before enrolling in a school in Mogadishu.
Growing up, he enjoyed reading poetry, running and horseback riding.
Osman joined the Somali Youth League (SYL) in 1944, prior to entering parliament. He was noted for his disciplined work and independence-oriented positions. As the first official political party in the territory, the SYL championed the cause of independence and social justice. Its early leaders were typically young, self-educated, intelligent, confident and determined.
In 1945, the Potsdam conference was held, where it was decided not to return administration of Italian Somaliland to Italy. The United Nations opted instead in November 1949 to grant Italy trusteeship of Italian Somaliland through the new Trust Territory of Somalia. However, it did so only under close supervision and on the condition — first proposed by the SYL and other nascent Somali political organizations that were then agitating for independence, such as the Marehan Union Party, Hizbia Digil Mirifle Somali (HDMS) (which later became Hizbia Dastur Mustaqbal Somali) and the SNL — that Somalia achieve independence within ten years. Osman subsequently became a member of the new-established Advisory Committee of Somalia.
When the world pronounced me dead
put me in the grave
the cut off my legs
it was not long
I couldn't hold my mouth
I ran my head
I ran my head
It's strange to be around again
things might have killed me
but not the bastard in the skies
I was fucking with the plan
asking for it all,
call it karma or guilt
being dragged down the road
call it wisdom or ignorance
But it's still alive
and it's in me now
and it lives and breathes
but, I can't give a fuck
I've got a big mouth
and there's a lot to learn
from a bottle of whiskey
it's where you come from
(the south)
A remedy to the curse
cold turkey, drop the bomb
on harder wares control
suspend above, become one
Look at what's around
It may piss you off
It might be shit
But I just can't lie around
Feeling sorry for myself
I could care less
(from weed and whiskey)
I fell in front of my friends
I dropped out in front of the world
you call that supernatural?
I ain't
Black wings will weather your flight
for some there's no second time
following paths of your life
I stepped off the mountain to the sky
watch your ass no
it's where you come from
it's where you come from

I'm looking through a hole in the sky
I'm seeing nowhere through the eyes of a lie
I'm getting closer to the end of the line
I'm living easy where the sun doesn't shine
I'm living in a room without any view
I'm living free because the rent's never due
The synonym of all the things that I've said
Are just the riddles that are built in my head
Hole in the sky
Take me to heaven
Window in time
Through it I fly
I've seen the stars that disappear in the sun
But shooting's easy if you've got the right gun
And even though I'm sitting waiting for Mars
I don't believe there's any future in cards.
Hole in the sky
Take me to heaven
Window in time
Through it I fly yeah
I've watched the dogs of war enjoying their feast
I've seen the western world go down in the east
The food of love became the greed of our time
But now we're living on the profits of crime
Now a new look in my eyes my spirit rise
Forget the past Present tense works and lasts
Got shit on Pissed on Spit on Stepped on Fucked with
Pointed at by lesser men
(Pre) New life in place of old life Unscarred by trials
(Chorus) A new level of confidence and power
Demanding plea for unity between us all
United stand Death before divided fall
In mock military order
Vulgar Power Impatient Because time is shorter
(Pre) (Chorus)
No fucking surrender Can't lose Life kills
Numbing rumble, countless medicine,
depleted from years of abuse
death rattle shaking
and there's no faking, undertaking
Pressure point, rigor mortis
induce, grasp of poison hands
death rattle shaking
from years of compulsive mistaking
Death rattle shakes (x2)
Disease of eyes, the addict blindfold, reduced to
the realms of death
death rattle shaking
accumulating life it's taking
Death rattle shakes (x4)
(mid)
i've seen the end, and there is no light.
like deadly snakes, death rattle shakes
(solo)
Out of my mind, gun up to the mouth
No pretension, execution, live and learn
Rape and turn
Fret not family, nor pre-judged army
This is for me, and me only, cowards only
Try it
(Chorus)
Don't you try to die, like me
It's livid and it's lies and makes graves
It's not worth the time to try, to replenish a
rotting life
I'll end the problem, facing nothing, fuck you off,
fuck you all
Tortured history, addict of misery, this exposes me
for weakness is a magnet - watch me do it
(Chorus)
Graves descending down
Why would you help anyone who doesn't want it,
doesn't need it, doesn't want your shit advice
when a mind's made up to go ahead and die?
What's done is done and gone, so why cry?
(Chorus)
I see you runnin'
You're gone
A million miles away
But you know I'm comin'
Violence that
Blows you into space
And you think
You're gonna get away
Like you did before
But you're the type
I never feel sorry for, so
FALL INTO MY DEATH TRAP
FALL INTO MY DEATH TRAP
Life's paranoia
You're hiding in
The dark all day
At nite I call you
Cause I know
You're always wide awake
So you never
Sleep at all at nite
Extermination
Of you're wasted life
So now I've got you
You're cornered like a fool
I terminate you
Live by my golden rule
Task complete
And once again I've won
Now I search
For another victim to come
I can't explain the sheer
Thrill of it all
Its such a chill
To watch the meek just fall
DEATH TRAP
DEATH TRAP
LOL
lol x4
Well i just loled,
i passed by to say
lol x2
I hope u lol me do
I hope u lmao me do
Come together right now
lol?
Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale, the pills that kill and takethe pain away
Diet of life, shelter without, the face that cannot see inside yours and mine
When I'm hiding, when I need it, it lets me breathe,
for our handle on this life, I don't believe this time
Would you look at me now?
Can you tell I'm a man?
With these scars on my wrists
To prove I'll try again
Try to die again, try to live through this night
Try to die again...
Forever fooling, free and using, sliding down the slide that breaks a will
Mothers angel, getting smarter, how smart are you to regress unfulfilled?
It's a damn shame, but who's to blame?
When I'm hiding, when I need it, it lets me breathe,
for our handle on this life, I don't believe this time
Would you look at me now?
Can you tell I'm a man?
With these scars on my wrists
To prove I'll try again
Try to die again, try to live through this night
Unity is a rare thing
Blind eyes of society bring
The category of minority
Now what are we supposed to be?
Born free to be
Powerless to change the world
With our lives in the hands of madmen
Now in times when society needs us
This is where the sin begins
We're aware they're going to free us
Rage from our hearts within
Born of this world
Which is a living hell
But we'll be closer to heaven
So now, this is the artTo shred
Its only emotion
This is the artTo shred
Its only emotion
Shred
So now, this is the artTo shred
Its only emotion
This is the artTo shred
There's a double standard for the way we live
If there's nothing to have, well then there's nothing to give
I'll break a sweat and I don't regret
What you'd kill to see brings out the god in me
Come and be with me
Live my twisted dream
Pro devoted pledge
Time for primal concrete sledge
The man of a thousand retirements
Will always be the one to tell you when to quit
I won't take stock in a withered man
I'm reaching into you, I'll make you understand
Come and be with me
Live my twisted dream
Pro devoted pledge
Time for primal concrete sledge
Come and be with me
Live my twisted dream
Pro devoted pledge
Time for primal concreteCome and be with me
Live my twisted dream
Pro devoted pledge
Out of my mind, gun up to the mouthNo pretension, execution, live and learnRape and turnFret not family, nor pre-judged armyThis is for me, and me only, cowards onlyTry it
Chorus:Don't you try to die, like meIt's livid and it's lies and makes graves
It's not worth the time to try, to replenish a rotting lifeI'll end the problem, facing nothing, fuck you off, fuck you allTortured history, addict of misery, this exposes meFor weakness is a magnet - watch me do it
Chorus
Graves descending downWhy would you help anyone who doesn't want it,Doesn't need it, doesn't want your shit adviceWhen a mind's made up to go ahead and die?What's done is done and gone, so why cry?
It's storming broken glass, corpses left in piles
Ungracious bludgeonment that breaks the earth for miles
Nothing can stop it, the day has come, from below it'scatastrophic
Freezing, there's no healing families are dying
This world is shattered...All shattered
Life crushing turbulence, this wrath can't be denied
Wishing you could help your friends, standing where they died
Echoes haunting, a hollow planet, lacerations, dissected nation
Freezing, there's no healing everyone's dying
This world is shattered...All shattered
Freezing, there's no healing everyone's dying
This world is shattered, all shattered
All shattered
One's own Kingman, Christ person, Woman God.
At battle with a mass astrengent. The bond
That blends the weak to the wise.
It's a safe assumption that you'd want
to save me now. But I'll never face castration.
For your sacred sow is left slaughtered.
Brainwashed by me. Myself influence I. Bird brained
World saver. A fake god rests dead inside you.
It's a safe assumption that you'd want to save me now.
But I'll never face castration. For your sacred sow is left
Slaughtered.
System destroyed. Exposed and unployed. The fruit
Of intention cry for their dead, but turning their head to
Ignore reality's claw. Knife to your wrist, syringe in your
Arm is your ounce of prevention. Give what you made,
And under your name on your grave, is salvation. A big
Fucking joke.
Slaughter the pig, the self rightous king for your own
Restoration. For your God is in your chest, and faith kills
What is precious, for death is unanswered.
Scrape it, grind it, peel it, hide itThe trend is over and gone foreverShelf it, box it, save it, frame itYou won't need that anymore, it's on sale at the dollar storeWaste of time, pantomime, circus doll, at the local mallExterminate, it's all fake!
I've trampled on that road
That you think you own
You have that "smart ass" attitude
It's time to stop the fiction
I live it every day
While you're mind's far away
I'm out here putting pride on the line
And you case on me with pure respect
One chance at one thing
Hard time is coming
My time, your pain
I reign on you
(Pre)
You think you own
I take away
Take it with me
You think you own
I took away
Made it my own
(Chorus)
Most regular people would say it's hard
And any streetwise son of a bitch knows
Don't fuck with this
The so many times
You practice in your mirror
To be just like me
But you just can't see
You ain't got the balls, son
I fight for love of brother
Your friends fight one another
You can't see because your head's up your ass
And just in cast you think you're bad
I crush your rush
I rule YOU fool
I'm immovable stone in your world of weak -- I speak
(Pre)
(Chorus)
68' into the world born
And the Seventies, a breath after the war
Life was confusing because of my age
Should my eyes open for tomorrow's gains?
I can't help the way I am
There's no trust and there's no end
What is my name?
(Chorus)
It will never change
So here it stays
Forever is my name
From now on, can't look the other way
Keep in mind and listen to what I say
Take under wing all the ones who are lost
Build up around them an infinite wall
Don't you know just who I am?
Take the hand of wisdom's friend
What is my name?
(Chorus)
It's time to change
It can't stay the same
Revolution is my name
It will never change
So here it stays
Forever is my name
What is my name? (x4)
Forever...
What is my name? (x4)
Revolution...
(2nd Chorus)
Shot rings out
hear somebody scream
nightmare
caught up in a fantasy
tied up
fear's workin' overtime
wrecks my sanity
lay down
ear touched the floor
telephone rings
it's someone at the door
it's alright
just the paperboy
hear with the magazines
Can't you see I'm
RIGHT ON THE EDGE
On the verge
Of going crazee
My whole life's been livin'
RIGHT ON THE EDGE
Don't you try and stop me
Life is drivin' me insane
Lights out
can't see a damn thing
shot down
eyes of a hurricane
it's all wrong
stumble outa bed
reach for a cigarette
busted
runnin' in the dead of nite
locked up
back of a black and white
too late
gotta pay the price
luck's runnin' out again
Can't you see I'm
RIGHT ON THE EDGE
On the verge
Of going crazee
My whole life's been livin'
RIGHT ON THE EDGE
Don't you try and stop me
Life is drivin' me insane
I'M NOT CRAZEE!!!!!!!!
in this day and time of metal magic
we need rock and roll
we need PANTERA!
I didn't wanna touch you
since we were both sixteen
didn't wanna take you down
and show you what love means
now is the time
this is the place
get ready to take a chance
we don't have a minute to waste
ride my rocket
wear me out
ride my rocket
make me twist and shout
ride my rocket
give me all of your love
ride my rocket
I just can't get enough.
You leave me breathless
when you walk by
the way you move it girl
makes you satisfy
You might be the best
that i've ever had
it's gotta be good girl
cuz it looks so bad
ride my rocket
wear me out
ride my rocket
make me twist and shout
ride my rocket
give me all of your love
ride my rocket
I just can't get enough.
*guitar solo*
feels so good
makes my heart break
every time you touch me
i explode into flames
ride my rocket
wear me out
ride my rocket
make me twist and shout
ride my rocket
give me all of your love
ride my rocket
I just can't get enough.
In the states
There's a problem with race
Because of ignorant past burned fires
From evolution
We've been killing each other
I figure man should have it down to a science
No chance
Not for a minute
Not for a second
I won't be defensive
I'm straight out in my opinion
You'ld better listen to a man who knows what he is saying
I've seen your side
You run and hide for the mere fact that you feel inferior
Be superior
And know your interior
(Pre)
Race, pride, prejudice
Black man, white man
No stand
Live in the past
We make it last
A hated mass
No solution
Mind pollution
For revolution
(Chorus)
So low behold my eyes
This land of fools will rise
No good
For no one
You blame oppression and play the role of criminals
To rape and burn show progress is minimal
White hoods and militants you know it's such a pity
Living, breathing
Violence in your city
If one man
Had one home
In one world
Held live alone without variety
Full of anxiety
No one to point at, question
Or even talk to -- in his private grave
No matter what color
He wouldn't be saved from hell
He dwells
A closed mind playing the part of prison cells
(Pre)
(Chorus)
Slaving for eternity
Aiming for construction
Wreckless crew abandon me
Bringing on destruction
Primal needs
Annoying ways
INCAPACITATION
A legacy of submankind
Who seem to rule this nation
Out of touch with your life
Can' t you see the signs
For me to know
Can you find out
Read betwen the lines
NO WAY OUT
When the cat goes away
OVER AND OUT
The mice come out and play
Unrelentless trilogy
Asking to accept them
Tempers flare
Screams are heard
To uphold the profession
Time and time and times again
I will not play your game
I ask you once a billion times
To keep your life the same
NO WAY OUT
When the cat goes away
OVER AND OUT
The mice come out and play
NO WAY OUT
The price that you must pay
OVER AND OUT
Hungry and hunting
passion and fire
we're burning
hot on the heels of death
strength and suspicion
armored with steel
ready for action
tonite we're out for the kill!
ONWARD WE ROCK!
Straight to the top
ONWARD WE ROCK!
Straight to the top
Torture and trial
under the gun
wheels burnin'
burnin' to be No.1
dangerous warning
backs to the wall
smell the sweat
the Pain, the thrill of it all!
ONWARD WE ROCK!
Straight to the top
ONWARD WE ROCK!
Straight to the top
ONWARD WE ROCK!
Straight to the top
ONWARD WE ROCK!
Straight to the top

Yeah
Gone... (x2)
The time had finally come to kill the vein.
And I'm dropping down the dirt on your grave
It might hurt so bad, but I can't feel sad
Rid of a fool like you
The wrath has just begun
The time has finally come
And it hurts so bad, and it drives me mad
Life with a blinded view (of you)
(Chorus)
It makes them disappear
It fills their life with fear
When their future isn't clear
It makes them disappear
- Gone - (x2)
So the coward has up and run to be saved
But with each step taken down, you sink in your grave
It might hurt so bad, but I can't feel sad
Rid of a fool like you
(Chorus)
Get the fuck on down the road
(Solo)
(Chorus)
(Live)

1 2 3 ____!!
You say that
you want a piece of me
well baby
take a big bite
too much to believe
that's what I like
I've been known
to blow my top
just to get my kix
I might eat
your heart out
just to get my kix
I've got a line on U
I've got my ize on U
I'm gonna luv U
Black and blue
I'm cummin' down on U
I'm burnin' hot
HOT AND HEAVY
It's what I want
HOT AND HEAVY
Take a look at
my ice cream cone baby
go ahead take a lick
can't wait
to take you home
beat you with my stick
I've seen what
you got before
but I'd like
to see it again
it's red hot
that's for sure
tell me girl
where and when
Eliminate, the life decline...
I've paid the masters with blood and hunger
..And it's not for sale by any stretch.
It's like religion without a Bible
And the Dragon lives inside my mouth
And it speaks in tongues, the word...
(Chorus)
Hellbound - in Ft. Worth, Texas
Hellbound - Ft. Worth
Snakes, in Southern flames
To bring the thunder; the great decider
Would you believe in this or the ash?
I do believe it and it's taking over...
Accept
(Chorus)
Born to a world so young and proud
But over your head hangs a black cloud
Grow your hair and crawl inside yourself
Because there you cannot hide
Facing fears that you'll overcome and one
Of these years you know you've won
(Chorus)
I've written about my inner wars,
But I could give a shit right now,
Mmost of me is all strength
And all of me is at war with dope
But my eyes are clear in sight
My guts are blazing,
i might have a life
I can't hide, to erase, what I've done-
Last year, and the years before
It still takes assholes of all kinds
On that fact I am still clear,
I should know and now I do
One of them
I'm just like you
I'm just like you
A man that stands hi sground with strength
I can't hide, to erase, what I've done-
Last year, and years before
Can't hide myself
And I won't try
It makes me strong
It makes me strong
It makes me strong
It blows away weakness
It blows away detachment
It blows away the depression inside
It blows away the mental withdrawal
You're in the danger zone
You can't be left alone
Your heart is
In this for the ride
But when it comes down to it
You spoke your mind and you blew it
I want you when I want
And still I hear you say
[CHORUS]
HARD RIDE WITH ME
Its a matter of time before
You fall down on your knees
HARD RIDE STAY FREE
Its a matter of time
'fore its too late
The pressure's building up
You feel you've had enough
So go now -AWAY!
I'll lay it on the table
You're feelin' so unstable
I want to love you
But you seem so far away!
[CHORUS]
And I don't even know your name
The end will crush the light
And sends a message, It won't please
The naked eye
Without and end there is no light
To foretell, to blind you
The law of the claw reigns on and after still
(Coro)
When I die, I cast a shadow
And I'll rise, I cast a shadow
I'm leaving more eyes open
I close up both of mine
For the ones that chase my life
They're looking over shoulders
Let paranoia in
Spontaneously rule them
(Coro) When I die, I cast a shadow
And I'll fly, I cast a shadow
Everybody get fucking up!
I cast a shadow...
I... I cast a shadow
I cast a shadow...
I... I cast a shadow
(Coro)
When I die, I cast a shadow
The coach stands
waiting just outside
just in case the queen
should want to take a ride
but she stays
safely locked away
she knows the world outside
can be so cold and grey
DAUGHTERS OF THE QUEEN
Come outside and Play
Slip into the nighttime
Before it slips away
Her castle
looms into the sky
behind those walls
you'll never see
a fear fall from her eye
she seems content
to live her life all alone
but locked inside
those castle walls
her heart has turned to stone
DAUGHTERS OF THE QUEEN
Come outside and Play
Slip into the nighttime
Before it slips away
DAUGHTERS OF THE QUEEN
Come let me hold your hand
Isn't it about time
You need to feel a man
Today Her Majesty has gone
in death's repose
it's much too late
she lies there all alone
alas the dreams
inside her heart
sleep forever silent
imprisoned by the dead
DAUGHTERS OF THE QUEEN
Come outside and Play
Slip into the nighttime
Before it gets too late
This is ";DIME";
open the door
Let me in!!

I fucked your girlfriend last night.
While you snored and drooled, I fucked your love.
She called me Daddy. And I called her baby when I
Smacked her ass. I called her sugar when I ate
Her alive till daylight. And I slept with her all
Over me, from forehead to ribcage I dripper her ass.
Sometimes I thought you might be spying, living out some
Brash fantasy, but no. You were knocked out. But we were
All knocked out you know. In a way
I serve too many masters.
We didn't know you'd break the bottle that the magic
Came in to use those jagged shards to slit our wrists
And neck. And you'd do it too, you're that kind of dude.
But you wouldn't know what you were doing because
I didn't, your girlfriend could have been a burn
Victim, an amputee, a dead body. But god damn I wanted
To fuck.
I'm serving too many fucking masters.
A smack on the wrists is the words from the mouthOf the outsiders, lawyers, policeA small price to pay for the dope and the gunsAnd the rape, it should all be O.K.Your father is rich, he's the judge, he's the man,He's the God that got your sentence reducedBut in the back of his mind, he well knows whatHe'd find if he looked a little deeper in you - in you
Chorus:Drag the waters some moreLike never before
Sweet is the slice and the lips - you're gonna haveThat woman - she is your favorite layPromised you (swore) that no one had been there,And she was going to keep it that wayLet it move in, you got thin, and got high, andYour money went and so did your friendsBut she's by your side, and her smile cannot hideThe premonition of the beckoning end - the end
Chorus
People runnin'
In the street
Looking for some
Meat to eat
It's in your
Dirty magazines
All across your
Tv screens
Midnight riders
In the street
Feel the fire
Catch the heat
You better go
Down below
You better go
Down below
See the ladies
Of the night
Built for speed
To my delight
I steal them
In my limousine
Hear them shout
Hear them scream
Midnight riders
In the street
Feel the fire
Catch the heat
It's a dirty job
But somebody's gotta do it
S-c-r-e-a-m!
You better go
Down below
You better go
Down below
Love at first sight
I caught a glimpse
and I thought I'd try
to win her love
for my very own
She's the kind
that'll move on a dare
she loves a thrill
she'll take it anywhere
but when you need her
she won't be there
won't be there
she's never there
She's got COME-ON EYES
Happens every time
Never givin' her love
Only givin' you lies
She'll put you thru hell
No matter how hard you try
She's got COME-ON EYES
I can't win
she drives me insane
broken heart is
the name of her game
down on my knees
beggin' to Please
needin' her love
All alone
out on the street
she was layin' me out
knocked me off my feet
she's always on my mind
it's what I'm thinkin' of
She's got COME-ON EYES
Happens every time
Never givin' her love
Only givin' you lies
She'll put you thru hell
No matter how hard you try
She's got COME-ON EYES
Sometimes I know
I feel untouchable
Drowning in life
Caught up in the accessible
Back down the ground
I hear the sound
There's no escape
The concrete cloud
Spilling on me
Drenching me with
Laymen's sins
I hear the sirens
From the back of me
I'm crashing face first
Into the glass eye
Clash with reality
It rears its ugly head
Clash with reality
The indescribable
Clash with
Let the dogs lie
Where we fucking sleep
Irrelevant theme
A Situation and there's
Nothing but right
In kicks the door
Nobody moves
'Cause in walks the problem
Dictates your fate,
Evicts, convicts,
Who'll sign the writ of life?
This now becomes
Their morbid game
Who's piss-poor excuse
Is this for a world?
It swells my hatred
Day by day
Clash with reality
It rears its ugly head
Clash with reality
The indescribable
Clash with
Clash with reality
It rears its ugly head
Clash with reality
The indescribable
Clash with
Reality
Clash with
Reverend, Reverend,
Is this a conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins
No revenge beneath me
Lost within my plans for life
It all seems so unreal
I'm a man cut in half in this world
Left in my misery
The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes
It's nothing new for him to see
I didn't ask him why
I will remember
The love our souls had sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see
Now is your (face)
Well I guess you took my youth
and gave it all away
Like the birth of a new-found joy
This love would end in rage
And when she died I couldn't cry
The pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
all alone as the memories now unfold.
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates
Sometimes when I'm alone
I wonder aloud
If you're watching over me
Some place far abound
I must reverse my life
I can't live in the past
Then set my soul free
Belong to me at last
Through all those complex years
I thought I was alone
I didn't care to look around
And make this world my own
And when she died
I should've cried and spared myself some pain...
You left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain
The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates
A long time ago I never knew myself. Then the memory
Of shame birthed its gift.
No more. The small one, the weak one, the frightened one.
Running from beatings, deflating. I'm becoming more
Than a man. More than you ever were. Driven and burning
To rise beyond Jesus.
I'm born again with snakes eyes
Becoming Godsize
I found my life was slipping through my hands. Perhaps
Through death my life won't be so bad.
I can see you, can fuck you, inside of you. Staring through
Your eyes. Belittle your friends to serve me, to suck me,
To realize my saving grasp. I of suicide. I the unlord.
I'm born again with snakes eyes
Now a new look in my eyes my spirit riseForget the past Present tense works and lastsGot shit onPissed onSpit onStepped onWronged with Pointed at by lesser men (Pre) New life in place of old life Unscarred by trials (Chorus) A new level of confidence and power Demanding plea for unity between us all --United standDeath before divided fallIn mock military orderVulgarPowerImpatientBecause time is shorter (Pre) (Chorus) No fucking surrenderCan't loseLife kills
We want to live our life
Forever each day
To burn your candle
At both ends
Mach 10 velocity
Not slowing down at all
Your metal heart
Just never bends
OOOOOOO
Don't stop to
Wait for life just
BURN it to the ground
BURN
ITS TIME TO SWEAT
HAVE NO REGRET
JUST BURN IT DOWN
BURN
ALL YOU'RE LIVIN' FOR
IS THE GLORY IN YOUR HEART
LIVE HARD, DIE GREAT
BURN IT DOWN
A long time ago I never knew myself
Then the memory of shame birthed it's gift.
No more. the small one.
the weak one. the frightened one.
Running from beatings, deflating
I'm becoming more than a man,
more than you ever were.
Driven & burning to rise beyond Jesus.
(chorus)
I'm born again with snakes eyes
Becoming Godsized
I found my life was slipping through my hands.
Perhaps in death my life won't be so bad.
I can see you, can fuck you, inside of you.
Staring through your eyes.
Belittle your friends to serve me,
to suck me, to realize my saving grasp.
I of suicide. I the unlord
(chorus)
I'm born again with snakes eyes
Becoming Godsized
My skin is cold, transfusion with somebody morose andOld, drop into fruitless dyingIt was tempting and bared, the whoring angel risingNow burning prayers, my silent time of losing
Chorus:My foes - they can't destroy my bodyColliding slow, like life itself
Long for the blur, we cannot dry much longerCement to dirt, disgusted with my cheapness
Chorus
Scrape it, grind it, peel it, hide it
The trend is over and gone forever
Shelf it, box it, save it, frame it
You won't need that anymore, it's on sale at the dollar store
Waste of time, pantomime, circus doll, at the local mall
Exterminate, it's all fake
Exterminate, it's all fake
Sandblast yourself
Sandblast yourself
Sandblast
Sandblast
It's getting old, old, old
Build an inner door, drop and then explore
You smoke your head on straight, then drink
Your woes away -
Some might not understand possession
Controls your head
(Chorus)
You recognize it, while some ignore it
Avoid the masses, you've got to belong to it
Belong to it... (x2)
Your music is your friend? But the roof
Above my head. So seriously I take the will
That never breaks
Some might not understand, possession
Beyond your hands...
(Chorus - x2)
Belong to it... (x2)
(Mid)
It's power and sin, and then you've got all the other habits
Whiskey and smoke
It's all that we could need, to plant the perfect
Seed, disembody me - yeah...
(Chorus)
Belong to it... (x2)
Wears 10 crowns, dragons heads
Southern are the sons, Lords unmatched
- Their eyes don't look right, should they be trusted now?
Trashed-mouth Gods, avoided kings
With the spirit of revolt, the ghost of youth
(Chorus)
Every fucking year it stays the same
Everybody changes to suit the day
Out of pride I'll isolate my fears
Never turned our backs on why we're here
We'll grind that axe for a long time
Follow close, train of fools
Just like them, just like you
- Their eyes don't seem right.
'Easily impressed' plague, dressed up fake
No respect
(Chorus)
Every fucking year remains the same
Everybody sucks-up to suit the day
Out of hate I'll isolate myself
Through the worst we still marched into hell
We'll grind that axe for a long time (x4)
The smell in the air is chicken shit.
We'll grind that axe for a long time (x2)
We'll grind that axe
We'll grind that axe for a long time
(Chorus)
Every fucking song remains the same
To everyone who sucks-up for the fame
Out of strength you know we speak the truth
Every trend that dies is living proof
We'll grind that axe for a long time
I see you had your mind all made up you group of
Pitiful liars. Before I woke to face the day, your master
Plan transpired. -Something told me- this job had more to
Meet the eye. My song is not believed? My words some-
What deceiving? Now I'm unwhole.
You've waged a war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom
Can't be what your idols are. Can't leave the scar.
You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give
us...
5 minutes alone.. Just give us, 5 minutes alone
I read your eyes, your mind was made up. You took me for
A fool. You used complexion of my skin for a counter
Rascist tool. -You can't burn me- I've spilled my guts
In the past. Taken advantage of because you know where
I've come. My past.
You've waged a war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom
Can't be what your idols are. Can't leave the scar.
I bury your compensation. I ask you please just give
us...
