1. “SLAUGHTER THE GERONTOCRATS”

A modest proposal:
Bury blades in the throats
Of all dotards, the olds who
Would plunder the future
In their waning years

The time has arrived
Wrest tomorrow from fossils who'd deny
Us a future post-diluvian
A horizon without fear

Entrenched they are in the halls of state
It's us or them; the hour grows late
This dismal work our duty; their earned fate

Slaughter the gerontocrats
Rip their ancient guts out

Our hordes descending on the Hamptons and Florida
We hunt them down at the golf courses and country clubs
Their serfs desert them in their palaces of selfishness
But for the righteous few who wait to bear revanchist witness
Savoring the sight of generational vengeance
Against these relics who would slay their progeny for profit 

They die with ease beneath our knives
Mottled skin, palsied limbs, guilt and fear in their eyes

Slaughter the gerontocrats
Kill them all

They think themselves immortal
We shall deliver a rude surprise
Crack them open, pilfer their viscera
From a withered skull, pry forth an eye
To keep as a prize

Out with the old, in with the new
Those liches run the show; they're gonna kill you
Unless you too would join the shades that haunt their grisly pasts
You have no choice: you must slaughter the gerontocrats

2. “STRIPMINED FLESH EXTRACTOR”

There's value trapped in that there meat
And we've got the expertise to set it free
Saws, scalpels, and solvents:
The tools of our trade
Slurry pools on the killing floor
When the bell butchers our working day

Compressed through mesh and cunning sieves
Cleansed of fragmented bones and teeth

Stripmined flesh
All that's left
Stripmined flesh
Raw death extruded

The hum of the centrifuge brings a new gruesome phase
Split lipids; pull proteins; pour plasmas and sinewy pastes
Every denuded ooze behooves a use
In food or function, our goos and unctions
Shall enrich us, while pound-priced pus services you

Stripmined flesh
Packaged-pressed
Stripmined flesh
Mandatorily consumed

3. “FRESHKILLS POLTERGEIST”

Psychic rot
In this graveyard of ruined desires
We die not
We legion composted, we linger in the mire

Fetid juice: our sanguinary brew
Shards of plastic, renewed and used 
As bones; our lewd flesh: refuse from your home

You cast us out
In heaps they plowed us
To fill this land;
This harbor for garbage scows
You dare trespass
Where heaps of blight
And broken glass
Witnessed our vengeful vow
You should never have come 
To these grounds

You forgot
Your lust for us burned like a fire
We were bought
Then abandoned to suffering dire

You shall know the sting of rejection
The wind and the cold
You shall feel slow decomposition
Beneath these hills
Join us
Freshkills poltergeist
Join us

4. “SULPHROUS WINDS (HOWLING THROUGH CHRISTENDOM)”

At last we descended en masse
Unto the realms of the Christians
But their churches were bare
And the flies choked their lairs
And no flock hid there, fearing our vengeance

Just silence, silence, silence
But for the winds
Silence, silence, silence
But for the sulphrous winds

Their coastline laid fallow
With their swine buried shallow
In the fields that with petrol were drenched
And their reservoirs reek
But their women shan't weep
For they too now lay felled by the derricks

In silence, silence, silence
But for the winds
Silence, silence, silence
But for the sulphrous winds
Howling through Christendom!

The angel of death 
Hath blessed 
Those foolish sheep
In their hypocrite lust
They took too much
They delved too deep
From the wounds they rent in the earth
Vile miasmas leak
Like the breath of the Dark One 
Their dominion now a befouled heath
On themselves they brought ruin 
Our Lord could never hope to wreak

5. “SCOURGED BY THE WINGS OF THE FELL DESTROYER”

We see you, o false Prophet
We, the sons of perdition
From darkness we watch your lascivious predations
The way the innocent suffer
When you suffer the little children
Your pieties so vile
Your holy hands upon them

Behold your vestments, Father avaricious
Heed the stolen gold bestowed upon your raiments
Your worldly grasping and lust, your flock so finely deluded
You wring the sweat from their brows
And pass upon them your judgments
Their glory unto you
Unto them, the heel of your boot

Yea, though we be joyously fallen
We are more righteous than you
Your Lord would sanctify us 
Before you, if your Lord were true

Unto you, He would become
A mighty, fell destroyer
And his justice would scourge you to dust
In His wings' fearful shadow

6. “THE DEVOURING DUST”

In the end
The devouring dust
Resolved the world's problems

Precisely designed
To dismantle all creation
Demon of simplicity

In the end
The devouring dust
Obeyed its instructions
Beast and man
Reduced to elements
And scattered to the wind

Before our very eyes
The world was unmade
Supple flesh and hardened artifice
Dissolved alike to paste 

Within those minute swarms burn simple minds
Their rote devotion, a coded mandate:
To give no quarter, to transcend all lines
And their own forms to ever recreate

Those reckless worms
Sworn to serve
The lords of this earth
Loosed this consuming host

And yet they erased
What they cherished most:
The difference between
Pauper and king
As ash, all the same
Featureless and grey

7. “CARNAGE AT THE MARGINS”

Hails, gentlemen
I bear the board's congratulations
We've shipped the product
Despite our resource limitations
Our end users
Typically retain their limbs
And what's a little 
Carnage at the margins?

We've run the stats
Summed up the costs
Those product liability torts
Fall within our modeled dead weight loss
We'll signal commitment
To reducing the death rate
PR is on the regulators
And legal's gonna require waivers

Some major shareholders
On the horn with our comptroller
To discuss a five-year vision
With allowances for crimson
To spill by percentage
If the deal and the flesh are struck
A conscience is a disadvantage
If you're in the biz to make a buck

All our projections look rosy
And not just because of the blood
When the C-suite performs the IPO ritual
The green shall rush in like a flood

Rise, rise o market cap
Render our accounts tumescent
With your sickly sweet liquidity, bless us

And when I'm asleep on thousand-thread sheets
The maimed will assail me in my dreams
I'll laugh in their faces pale and doze on, still deaf to their wails
For success can assuage any mortal moral pain

My rest, the repose of the just
But for more, I still lust..

No rest for the putrid
No escape from this mortal coil
Still in death 
You shall serve my derangement
Without breath
Your husk will forever toil

A coward might have asked whether he should
I brought you back to life, simply because I could

Witness your necrobotic enslavement
Dead and indentured to my will
Witness your necrobotic enslavement

My fell elixir floods your veins and arteries
Your rigor mortis yields to a dance obscene

Witness your necrobotic enslavement
Dead and indentured to my will
Witness your necrobotic enslavement
Reeking thrall, my command you shall fulfill

Truly we learned men can achieve such wondrous things
Science's defiling hand probes the sleep of the deceased
Blithely I imbue more obscene strength into gangrenous green
Tissues, while ichors issue from rifts in you, o flesh machine

9. “DEATH NEVER SLEEPS”

The dread haunts your cowardly soul; you know
No mortal is spared the terminal sorrow
Devoured, dissolved, or rotting in a hole

Your flesh shall surrender the carbon it borrowed

Pinioned in the night
Your sweat stains the sheets
You dare not close your eyes
Because death never sleeps

Its shadow embattles your bones; you've grown
To quake at the wakes and the funerals
Your blood seeks escape from your veins; the pain
Has turned your face gaunt, drawn, and hollow

Pinioned in the night
Your sweat stains the sheets
You dare not close your eyes
Because death never sleeps

By day, you've got nothing to say
Too pallid and listless to speak
Doom lurks just behind the horizon
The gloaming knows your gut is weak

The moon is a tomb and voyeur
Its gibbous sockets spark with mockery
You hear the tread of the destroyer
In each of your dwindling heartbeats 

What Gaia has sown
The dark blade shall reap
You measure each moment alive
And for the light strive  
But no man is stone
And death never sleeps
