Abandoned by the agency meant to house them Forced to pitch up tents, violating ordinances Tossed into jail for living with no roof over them Nobody knows their names, none of them have faces Sharing neither religion, nor race, nor creed Only the sense of a part of a growing breed Sleeping in a tent on public parkland Things like this were not known to Ayn Rand Waking up at night in a torrent of water It is just useless to call the plumber There's nothing you can do to stop the flow Singapore rains pretty hard, if you didn't know

On and on in print, paper is inked with various writings On and on in cyberspace, servers fill with gossip On and on, the powers thrive on, incessant, hungry, driving On and on, the market carries on, controller of thou lips Information, communication, interconnected human race Potentials for human enlightenment gradually gone to waste Business models, market projections, we need a pretty face Tabloids, newspapers, entertainment, make it all from a formulaic paste Keep them ignorant, keep them naive, keep them sucking on our tits Tell them what they want to hear, preserve the profit margins Give them idols to worship to, and demons to give them fits subdue their higher reasoning skills and pound their heads with doctrine Fill their heads with pride Willingly they'll comply Blinded, they'll be tame Safeguard the cash supply We must squeeze this resource Sold their sounds, no remorse Expand operations Dominate the nation On and on in print, paper is inked with various writings On and on in cyberspace, servers fill with gossip On and on, the powers thrive on, incessant, hungry, driving On and on, the market carries on, controller of thou lips

Dead lie the dreams of the communist hegemony This island nation they shall not take Put into cold store for our own economy Barriers to development they shall not make Dead lie the dreams of the partisan and people The hopes of a free nation left in dust Though our cause and purpose was just and noble Their acid has turned our iron into rust Can we control all their lives? Can we bend and break their will? Can we preserve our power? Can we bleed their will dry? Must they control all our lives? Must they bend and break our will? Must they preserve their power? Must they bleed our will dry? Foolishly testing the nature of the beast With harmless actions and harmless words They swarm like gnats above our heads But the country carries on as our herd For justice we rise, for justice we pay Incarcerate me thou may But those who act as our witness know That your tyranny we shall overthrow How shall we pacify dissent? Can we bend and break their will? Can we preserve the status quo? How shall we bleed their will dry? Why must they pacify dissent? Must they bend and break our will? Must they preserve the status quo? Why must they bleed our will dry? Dead lie the dreams of the communist hegemony This island nation they shall not take Put into cold store for our own economy Barriers to development they shall not make Dead lie the dreams of the partisan and people The hopes of a free nation left in dust Though our cause and purpose was just and noble Their acid has turned our iron into rust

Ice sits on the launch pad, coating surfaces and dials The joints of the solid fuel boosters frozen open and wide Rubber seals, normally pliant, rendered rigid by the cold Very high risk of failure which engineers foretold "It's only a space truck" quipped the voice of the bureaucrat Under the shadow of profitability, nobody could say no "take off your engineering hat and put on your management hat" Under blistering cold and bad weather, the launch was a "go" Crew compartment tumbles up 20 kilometers high Free-falling towards the sea at 333 clicks an hour, death is nigh

Same shit, different day, same as everybody's loss Boring fucking job with a stupid fucking boss You can't give a shit how much tablet PCs cost Acting real psychic, playing with your spoon Nobody is watching because you got your own room Some smart dick has his dick out ready for some poon(tang) Everybody present don't even seem to give a fuck Ice Cream with a cherry on top would be a gratifying suck Even when he stuffs her bunghole with a yellow rubber duck Oh shit boss is walking over and you just lost your Gift of Gab "OI OI OI I was gonna borrow some turpentine, just a little dab But what the fuck is she eating and what the fuck is in that cap?" Bosses to the left, Colleagues to the right Stuck right here for the whole fucking day, bored right out of your mind Inbox to the left, Outbox to the right Dry dead sperm cements it all together nice and tight Bosses to the left, Colleagues to the right Supervisor just caught you jizzing all over your desk Inbox to the left, Outbox to the right You'll be sacked by the end of the day, what else did you expect? You stare at her, she stares at you, both not making a move Cold grey pits stare into your soul while your earbuds play a groove So totally fired until you can find a worth to prove Bathing in your own ballsweat you stammer out a plea "Can I go to the toilet now? I really need to pee." Supervisor lashes out a line that you couldn't forsee "I said it sucks, that's just so pedestrian." "Holy shit, you fucking meant it the first time." "Like duh, what do you think I do with Faelian?" "I bet you're also coked up by nine." What a perverted deviant harpy that you're working for Who would've fucking known a prude was so goddamn hardcore But that totally explains the way she walks every morn Bosses to the left, Colleagues to the right Stuck right here for the whole fucking day, bored right out of your mind Inbox to the left, Outbox to the right Dry dead sperm cements it all together nice and tight Bosses to the left, Colleagues to the right Lousy little piece of shit, your boss caught you mid-wank Inbox to the left, Outbox to the right But it's fine and dandy anyway 'cause she's totally a skank Bosses to the left, Colleagues to the right Stuck right here for the whole fucking day, bored right out of your mind Inbox to the left, Outbox to the right Dry dead sperm cements it all together nice and tight Bosses to the left, Colleagues to the right Lousy little piece of shit, your boss caught you mid-wank Inbox to the left, Outbox to the right But it's fine and dandy anyway 'cause she's totally a skank

Vorian Singapore, Singapore

Some idiot from Asia who thinks combining bombastic european panache and chill asian zen and making extreme metal out of it is a good idea.
