DIABLO
(Leads-King)
WHERE I REIGN
Broken from all the lies
Mankind’s hate intensifies
Blood is my guarantee
It’s time to sow the seed
From Hell I will Rise
Rain fire from the skies
Let fire set you free
It burns in me
To everywhere
I bring despair
Where life is pain
That’s where I reign
(Lead-King)
Religion crucified
Dead and rotting from inside
Faith is your cross to bear
God’s children running scared
From Hell I will rise
Rain fire from the skies
Let fire set you free
It burns in me
To everywhere
I bring despair
Where life is pain
That’s where I reign
(Lead-Demmel)
God wears a crown of lies
Inconsistency Devine
Chaos retaliates
Reborn to devastate
From Hell I will rise
The King of all demise
Let fire set you free
It burns in me
To everywhere
I bring despair
(Lead-King)
RESIDUE
Your deranged, insane, tirade will incite
Flash flood of blood feeds the parasite
Words sting, hate clings just like residue
I know tenfold it comes back to you
I’m in mental retrograde
So now it’s my crusade
Your blood horde screams war unrest reignites
Pulsates, gestates raise the Fahrenheit
Blood-stained campaign sticks like residue
I know tenfold it comes back to you
I’m in mental retrograde
So now it’s my crusade
Rise from the chaos
Time to strike
Calculated, perpetrated
I need intensity to spike
Dominating, liberating
Cause this is anarchy
(Lead-Demmel)
I relied on this outdated system
I defied, I won’t become a victim
I can’t find where liberty goes to die
(Lead-King)
You dethroned, disowned, outcast derelict
Cold sweat, false threats, nothing comes of it
Idolized, your lies stick like residue
I know tenfold it comes fuckin back to you
I’m in mental retrograde
So now it’s my crusade
Rise from the chaos
Time to strike
Calculated, perpetrated
I need intensity to spike
Dominating, liberating
Cause this is anarchy
I can’t find where liberty goes to die
I can’t find where our liberty goes to die
IDLE HANDS
So begins my revolution
Violence spreads my retribution
Integrate, retaliate
I can’t believe what I see
With my own eyes
Can’t dissect the truth from all the lies
Ideology is at the core
Deceiver or believer
Your faith I don’t need anymore
Where do I get in line?
To question all divine
So many rules to bend
Till the end
Idle hands do the Devil’s work
Hatred is my ammunition
Amplified by my ambition
Here I stand in pure defiance
Fighting back your God reliance dies
Deviance is always on the rise
Welcoming the harbinger of war
Deceiver or believer
Your faith I don’t need anymore
Where do I get in line?
To question all divine
So many rules to bend
Till the end
Idle hands do the Devil’s work
(Lead-Demmel)
Testify that all God’s hatred
Satisfies that nothing’s sacred
Anarchy or blasphemy
Devour Christianity
Once more
Your faith I don’t need anymore
Where do I get in line?
To question all divine
So many rules to bend
Till the end
Idle hands do the Devil’s work
(Lead-King)
TROPHIES OF TYRANT
Greed spreads the new hate
And will perpetuate
Oppression and discrimination
Invasion by the hostile
So fucking infantile
Impotence needs validation
Scorched earth silhouettes
Ash like cigarettes
The dead impaled and crucified
Trophies of the tyrant
The war intensifies
(Lead-Demmel)
Fear life underground
Living without a sound
Injustice is the new religion
One man to despise
The one with all the lies
Propaganda and division
Scorched earth silhouettes
Ash like cigarettes
The dead impaled and crucified
Trophies of the tyrant
The war intensifies
(Lead-King)
(Lead-Demmel)
Explode, reload
Fighting without a code
Disciples of the new aggressor
Displaced innocent
The victims of dissent
Eliminated by the oppressor
Scorched earth silhouettes
Ash like cigarettes
The dead impaled and crucified
Trophies of the tyrant
The war intensifies
(Lead- King)
CRUCIFIXATION
I know why God has never won
Because I’m the fuckin smoking gun
It’s time to break out of the cage,
In a rage
Like a vice I’ve taken hold
And I’m never gonna let go
Let’s get together coincide, unified
Centuries of gore
Genocide and war
Born to criticize
Hatred and lies
Violence is the way
Chaos on display
Souls forever sold
Uncontrolled
Ignore the world’s complacency
It’s a bottleneck of idiocy
Unto religion bring the war
Evermore
Instead of unity, divide
Destroy the enemy from inside
Inject the venom in the vein
Feel the pain
Centuries of gore
Genocide and war
Born to criticize
Hatred and lies
Violence is the way
Chaos on display
Souls forever sold
Uncontrolled
Victimize
Improvise
Devastation
Crucifixation
To hypnotize
And neutralize
All creation
Crucifixation
(Lead-King)
(Lead-Demmel)
I know why God has never won
Because I’m the fuckin smoking gun
Give me a reason to engage
In a rage
My rampage
Centuries of gore
Genocide and war
Born to criticize
Hatred and lies
Violence is the way
Chaos on display
Souls forever sold
Uncontrolled
Victimize
Improvise
Devastation
Crucifixation
To hypnotize
And brutalize
All creation
Crucifixation
(Lead-King)
To hypnotize
And neutralize
All creation
Crucifixation
TENSION
As the pendulum swings
Silently while you scream
There you lie my plaything
Chemistry is everything
Here I fight with my thoughts
In this rage my brain rots
On the edge I still cling
Sanity is everything
Now I drown in your flaws
Ten times past the last straw
Constantly inspiring
Violence is everything
Fueling our dissention
Magnify the tension
Hatred pulses through me
Enemies are necessary
As you feel the time crawl
Mercy has no place at all
Elegant and bleeding
Decadence is everything
Slave to my obsession
Conflict and aggression
Conscience has no meaning
Misery is temporary
(Lead-King)
Now as I become death
Grasping at your final breath
Fighting as it disappears
Victory is everything
Though I can’t forget you
Grief is not my virtue
I’ll dream of your screaming
Memories are everything
EVERYTHING I HATE ABOUT YOU
Let me set the scene
Sadistic fantasy
A vision filled with fury
And with spite
Back against the wall
My victory you fall
You’ll always be the victim
In this fight
I can theorize
A million ways to die
My bloodlust pacifies
My rage
I will terminate
I will eradicate
Annihilate
Turn the page on
Everything I hate about you
Everything I hate about you
Nothing you can do
They all abandon you
A sheltered life driven
By the swine
Never show remorse
Evil is the source
Wretched is the meaning
Of divine
I can visualize
A million ways to die
My bloodlust pacifies
My rage
I will terminate
I will eradicate
I’ll Annihilate
Turn the page on
Everything I hate about you
Everything I hate about you
Everything I hate about you
TOXIC
Sanity implies
That there’s intelligence
All I ever find
Is pure incompetence
Laws are washed away
Society will bleed
Scorned and left to die
And now the mutant’s feed
Too many people
Spend too much time
Forcing their opinions
On other people’s lives
Toxic rhetoric
Toxic government
Toxic politics
Toxic hypocrites
To your face they lie
Unleash and overthrow
Legal rights denied
And fall like dominoes
Hide behind the cloak
To change your way of life
Liberty revoked
A target for all time
Too many people
Spend too much time
Forcing their opinion
On other people’s lives
Toxic rhetoric
Toxic government
Toxic politics
Toxic hypocrites
(Lead-Demmel)
Toxic rhetoric
Toxic government
Toxic politics
Toxic hypocrites
Biased policy
Aborting history
Exploding at the chance
With rabid arrogance
(Lead-King)
Words now weaponized
With violence criticize
Ignore the majority
And force feed insanity
(Lead-King)
Unleash hatred’s wrath
And social aftermath
You penance will be do
It’s time for my own fucking coup
Too many people
Spend too much time
Forcing their opinion
On other people’s lives
Toxic rhetoric
Toxic government
Toxic politics
Toxic hypocrites
TWO FISTS
Boredom is destroying my sobriety
It’s suffocating my reality
Another victim of society
Propaganda is the news
But I know the brutal truth
This fuckin ship’s about to sink
I think I need another drink
I only want the right to choose
Which tree I hang my fuckin noose
There is no compensate
For how the great God hates
It all comes down to this
My will and these two fists
Maybe I seem too paranoid
I’m complicated yet devoid
My sanity is on the edge
Itching to jump off of a ledge
There is no compromise
For how the great God lies
It all comes down to this
My will and these two fists
This whole charade is just a test
I can’t negotiate this mess
Mentally empty life decays
Forever spiraling away
Drowning in incompetence
Behold the world’s irrelevance
I thought my hatred went away
But now it’s fucking here to stay
Now put the focus onto war
No fucking different than before
The blind will soon begin to see
That propaganda needs to feed
There is no compensate
For how the great God hates
It all comes down to this
My will and these two fists
It’s time to fight the war machine
The greatest monster ever seen
I’d sell my soul for just a taste
When all their power’s gone to waste
Victimize the innocent
Behold the Armageddonist
I thought my hatred went away
But now it’s fucking here to stay
My story’s coming to an end
And all I’ve said I will defend
Society has been derailed
Not even good enough to fail
There is no compromise
For how the great God lies
It all comes down to this
My will and these two fists
RAGE
It starts now
Anticipate the violence
It’s going down
Obliterate the silence
Attacking the crowd
Initiates the assault
Baton to the face
Shattered and broken you fall
Alternative facts
For an alternative god
Serenity is heresy
To this false god
Self-destruction
Manipulate the masses
Isolation
Is everybody’s madness
So fuckin loud
And in your face
Incite the crowd
Tear up this place
Ignite the fire
C1520an’t disengage
In crossfire
Can’t stop this rage
Can’t stop
(Lead-King)
I’m the one
The one that instigates
Feel the power
As it intoxicates
Rise above
Above divinity
Social war
And it’s brutality
Let’s start again
Get ready for the violence
Until the end
Obliterate the silence
So fuckin loud
And in your face
Incite the crowd
Tear up this place
Ignite the fire
Can’t disengage
In crossfire
Can’t stop this rage
Ignite the fire
Can’t disengage
In crossfire
Can’t stop this rage
Can’t stop
Attacking the crowd
Initiates the assault
Baton to the face
Shattered and broken you fall
Alternative facts
For an alternative god
Serenity is heresy
To this false god
I’m the one
The one that instigates
Feel the power
As it intoxicates
Rise above
Above divinity
Social war
And it’s brutality
(Lead-King)
SHRAPNEL
Down the road I’m told
Certain death is sold
We all must pay the price
I can’t
Unsee
The day
My friends died
Limitless human flesh
Scattered for all to see
Thrown away life decays
Stench surrounding me
Climb the walls purely false
Hatred uncontrolled
Irrelevant sentiment
For all that won’t go home
I guarantee on death I feed
And my weapons don’t care who they kill
Nothing is won until the killing’s done
And my blade won’t care whose blood is spilled
Silently I grieve
In vengeance I believe
Memories won’t suffice
Never
Forget
The day
They all died
I’m insane dealing pain
Taking every soul
Human shield start to feel
Swinging of control
Suffocate, strangulate
Tightening of the wire
Raining death, final breath
Adrenaline on fire
I guarantee on death I feed
And my weapons don’t care who they kill
Nothing is won until the killing’s done
And my blade won’t care whose blood is spilled
(Lead-King)
King of war I want more
Addicted to the strife
Politicized, criticized
Killing is my life
Renegade death parade
Blood will quench the dirt
Back on the road that I was told
Forever feed the earth
I guarantee on death I feed
And my weapons don’t care who they kill
Nothing is won until the killing’s done
And my blade won’t care whose blood is spilled
FROM HELL I RISE
Preaching faith, selling lies
Religion’s plague just never dies
I’ve shown before everyone knows
That I’m the one God can’t control
Avoid me father for I am sin
I live for the day of your ruin
No hope, no faith, no binding ties
I will Reign in God’s demise
From Hell
Through fire I will rise
Until blood rains from the skies
(Lead-Demmel)
I’ve shown you things you can’t ignore
With blind eyes shun the truth with scorn
If angels fell from burning skies
On deaf ears fall their dying cries
Avoid me father for I am sin
I live for the day of your ruin
Your doctrines judge you where you stand
I will deal your final hand
From Hell
Through fire I will rise
Until blood rains down
From Hell I rise
To torch the skies
From Hell
I watch religion die
(Lead-King)
This world’s not without sin
That’s why I always win
To torture and entice
To kill and sacrifice
(Lead-Demmel-King/Demmel)
Avoid me father for I am sin
I live for the day of your ruin
No hope, no faith, no binding ties
I will reign in God’s demise
From Hell
Through fire I will rise
Until blood rains down
From Hell
I rise
To torch
The skies
From Hell
I watch religion die
I watch it die
Come watch it with me
