A fatal fusillade into my fuselage
Murderous flak barrage
Sinister sabotage
The tides have surely turned
Since Pearl Harbor burned
Violence discerned
Atomic lessons learned?
One can go no lower than
One must never, ever descend
Blow away the Divine Wind
Mitsubishi A6M
Abs0lute Zer0
Kamikaze
Behold the Rising Sun; formerly Shogun
The thunder hath begun: A rain of ruin

In the Age of Stone
I wield my femur bone
The Alpha males have won
The battle hath begun
Oh! The blunderbuss
It will not spare you
Ah! The Gatlin guns
Conspire to tear you
The Battle Hath Begun
There’s murder in my eyes;
Primates terrorize
The Earth must survive
So she will sterilize
Oh! Chernobyl; irradiated
Oh! Hiroshima; obliterated
The battle hath begun
“Friendly” fire nothing you can do
Men never tire of trying to kill you
The battle hath begun
World wars won
Trenches overrun
By the mighty Hun
Of bone and blood and gun
The Human race is run
Since we’re not the sons of Adam
Only atoms of the Sun
The Battle Hath Begun

Anthroapology

Looking back into our past
Whose shadow do we cast?
They say it’s just a theory, yet
We look awfully simian to me!
(Human) Aggression makes perfect sense
When traced back to its origins
What would inspire the creation of fire?
Neanderthal desire
I’m climbing my ancestral tree
And everyone looks just like me
I’m trying to get to the top (but)
The branches never seem to stop
The creatures are starting to change
I have reached the primeval stage
While shrieking my primal rage
My violence won’t be assuaged
Don’t look past your past
It’s where your mould was cast
Seeking my genetic path
I now know from whence came the wrath
No anthroapologies
Evolution is not just a theory

Defekt
01:19

It occurs when two halves should have been whole
And from indecision about who’s in control
Defekt
Its just an extension of insanity
Crazed from childhood agonies
The Dark Half pontificates unconsciously
“There’s one way to liberate your misery”
I’ve seen this behavior from pole to pole
Insipid, bifid, personality plateau
It occurs when two halves should have been whole
And from indecision about who’s in control
Its just an extension of insanity
Crazed from childhood agonies
The train tracks call to you murderously:
“One small step and you’ll be free...”
The noose swings before you ominously
“One small step and you’ll be free...”
The high ledges beckon comfortingly
“One giant leap and you’ll be free...”
It occurs when two hemispheres are not whole
And when bipolarity takes control
