Pearls Before Swine 06:32

It's all wrong They're all wrong I'll make it better I'll make it perfect Bleed out Deformities Broken figures crave redemption An insult to creation Inadequate Imperfection under the knife Fixing the limitations The serpent in the garden Detested soothsayer The flock has lost their way Dejected reprobates Every single flaw Saved by the scalpel Rebirth through the glory of sacrifice Born again from the ashes of failure Remade, reformed, restored In the eyes of God Rebuilt to serve the swine Is this not perfection Are you not remade in my image Rewritten genesis to give birth to my creation A new Eden A new Adam A new god (Worship me my children) Manufactured grandeur cut from skin and bone Exalt the meat and gristle Fabricated merit sliced from veins and flesh All hail the masterpiece Bleed out Blood and bile Paint for my canvas Gore and sinew Construct my vision now Reclamation through exsanguination A painful pittance Define my design Why can't you see You're meant to be More than your flaws Transcend your cause A paragon through strife Traumatized Tormented A martyr suffering Bloodletting Misery I watched the lights go out I watched the eyes glaze over I watched the skin turn blue I watched you fade away Into nil Retribution through excrutiation The payment for transcendence Crushed to be remolded Torn down for resurgence Rebirth through the glory of sacrifice Born again through the ashes of failure Is this not perfection (perf Are you not remade in my image Cutting to mend Ripping to fix deficiencies Exquisite butchery Are you not perfect Corrected and rectified Are you not flawless You ingrates Now tell me Now tell me Why can't you see You're meant to be More than your flaws Transcend your cause My canvas perfected Hail the swine

Beneath the Brackish 05:10
lyrics

I'll rip your fucking heart out Rending and tearing and crushing the bones Savor the sight of viscera exposed I pity the man who's lost his primal side The one that gets the shakes when the hammer drops The one that keeps you hungry for your next fuck I never lost my taste for blood Declawed, defanged You're nothing more than cattle Fresh meat lined up for the butcher Weighed, measured, quartered, fucked Tasting fear and smelling panic Salivating There's no god here Just fangs So pray all you want In the end you're still prey to me Pray all you want And I'll rip you apart Spinning and rolling and tearing the flesh Ripping and tearing then crushing the bones Savor the sight of viscera exposed A primeval hunger unchecked A millennia of instinct Eons of savagery It's kill or be killed Coded into the id Apex The top of the food chain Unmatched Evolution perfected No room for mercy No hope for salvation Just brutal violence and the need to feed Ruthless Unbound and hunting you down Like fucking rats Flee like fucking rats There's no god here Just fangs So pray all you want In the end you're still prey to me Pray all you want Sheep to the slaughter Shaking with dread Your cries for rescue fall on deaf ears There's no way out A primeval hunger unchecked A millennia of instinct Eons of savagery It's kill or be killed Kill or be killed You've reached the end of the line Welcome to the abattoir Take your place amongst the corpses You'll join them floating in the brackish Ominous bellows from the darkness A massive current from a beast unseen Eyeshine at the top of the water Watch your faith slip under the surface You're in my world now bitch Torn limb from limb The screams are music to my ears Triumph Domination Inhale the pink mist from the death rattle

An Eye for the Jackal 04:41
lyrics

Alone in a tortured mind The warrior judges his own soul The price for vengeance It's too much to bear Made to fight Built to kill A weapon tempered by war Merciless Murderous Created to terminate And yet despite the circumstances The stone hearted killer Knows peace He knows love He knows heartbreak The cost of failure Cuts him right to the bone A debt paid in violence The ledger stained red with blood Heavy weighs the heart Low hangs the head Anguish for rage Coals of hatred Embers of malice Feeds the bloodlust And it challenges the mettle of the man The fire rises It breaks his heart Fuel the machine hellbent on vengeance Witness this cold rebirth A new apex in the kingdom of pain Sharpens the steel Honed by retribution Greif whets the appetite Target acquired Fucking eviscerate the motherfucker that took his voice An eye for the jackal just to watch the pig die A crimson payment to preserve the code Birth of the two toned terror that haunts this world Haunts this world He shed his skin The old husk left behind A bleak metamorphosis Made the monster Sustained by the lives that he takes Desperate to fill the void At the end of a bullet or a blade Your life is fucking forfeit Dead weight No mercy, no fucking forgiveness No quarter, no second chances The cold hearted father He knows no peace He's given into the fury He's become one with the rage No rest, no solace No peace, no comfort A flesh and bone reaper Harvesting the souls of the lost Buried by the failures Hardened by the indignation Reforged in the fire Blood drunk on the souls of the damned No way to atone for the past No mercy, no fucking forgiveness No mercy, no fucking forgiveness

Chaos Let it descend into bedlam A calling card for the masses The fragility of the system All it takes is one bad day Cordite Black smoke Party favors Ammunition Bullets and bodies and slapstick slaughter Gunpowder and kerosene Strip away the civility Let the facade come crashing down Clinging to the illusion of control Just let it go Free the bird but break the wings Let them panic Meaningless patterns and choices Here morality serves no purpose How does it feel? I'll make sure it hurts It's a cosmic joke Setting fire to the plans and procedures Burning down the status quo Headfirst down the rabbit hole Nothing up my sleeve We're a step away from calamity You've got some nerve Saying we have some semblance of normalcy Holocaust Genocide I'm still waiting for the punchline Let it descend into bedlam A calling card for the masses The fragility of the system All it takes is one bad day Come one come all To the greatest show on earth It's you It's me We live in a society So burn loot and murder Pretend you're still civilized Cordite Black smoke Party favors Ammunition Bullets and bodies and slapstick slaughter Gunpowder and kerosene Strip away the civility All you do is push and pull Grinding each other into dust Clinging to the illusion of control Allow me to prove the point Sever the spine Let them panic Meaningless patterns and choices Here morality serves no purpose Come with me Take my hand And we'll dance Falling through the beam Free fall pirouette Laughing the whole way down We both know that I'm the sane one here I'm the sane one here

I tried to do it the right way And all I caught was hell Left a broken mess on the ground No one to blame but myself No one to blame I played myself and lost the game No justice and no love lost No penance, disregard the cost Nothing left to say So I'm bringing hell with me Can you hear the trumpets sing Four riders in tow behind me Omens ready to scorch this earth It's an endless cycle The grief and the rage Honor bound to be the better man And all it's given me is pain So what's the fucking point An eye for an eye doesn't cut it anymore Haunted by righteousness Too scared to cross that line Look in the eyes of the dead Revenants of the fallen Arms linked chanting guilty But it's me they curse It's me who failed them I tried your way No more half measures Now I'll feed the earth Corpses of the wicked Quench the soil with their blood The only cure for an evil man Is a bullet to the head This is a war I won't make the same mistakes I'll wipe that grin straight from your face I learned more from my enemies Than I ever did my heroes You left me to die I'm on the wrong side I found my purpose at the end of the iron Suffer the resurrection Murderer Redeemer I'll walk that crooked line If I'm to be a damned man For taking matters into my own hands Then I'll laugh Oh I'll fucking laugh Swinging from the gallows Watching you search for your spine I'll gladly leave this world behind There's no way to win There's too many crosses to bear There's no place for me There's no place for me

Killing In Apathy image

Killing In Apathy Austin, Texas

A long time mainstay in the Austin Tx metal scene.

After a reunion in 2019 and a subsequent fight with an empty beer cooler, the band was reborn.

Now, fueled mainly by male pattern baldness, middle aged rage, booze and butt coffee, Killing In Apathy is back and better than ever, determined to leave no ass unkicked. ... more
