Hey, man
Scumbag
Rat-catcher
Chem-freak
Tonights the night
Press check
Laser sight
Your eyes are getting red
Bloodshot
You need your meds
Breath in the entropy
I’m right where I wanna be
I feel it in my veins
Were gonna start the pain
Goddamn, it’s such a rush
It’s like i’m taking a walk
Down sunset beach
Everyones laid out
A bullet for each
Metallic waves
Oh, how it parallels
These hallways glittering with empty shells
The bastard i’ve become
Would hate the fool I was
The bastard i’ve become
Bites until he tastes the blood
I can’t remember just how I got this name
Memories like ashes
A crime scene in the rain
Hold onto this feeling
Try to make it last
This faded fucking holograph
Thats bent and torn in half
I look into your face
And a crease runs down the middle
Said we’d die together, babe
Well, pretty soon we will
The last link in a chain
That’s splitting
Primed to pop
And once it’s gone
I’m lost
I’m lost
I’m lost
Dressed to the nines
Cybernetic spit-shine
Hypercodex
Datacase
Deadman’s switch for safety sake
My city is an abattoir
If you aim then you better fire
Love it or hate it
It’s just where the credits are

Data Implant 1999
03:10
|

There's a message waiting for me
Command line on a black screen
Painkillers
Leftover Chinese
My fingers dancing across the keys
False book full of minidiscs
Found the stuff but i’m feeling pretty sick
Speed-dealer glasses
Mesh tank and a leather jacket
I feel the data in my spine
The year is is 1999
Cower away from the light
Laptop RAM 12MBs
Corporate saboteur
Gun
No serial number
There's a message waiting for me
Backdoor
Rent-a-cop on the floor
Biometric security lockout
No time to fuck about
Sleeping beauty
Lend me a hand
Access granted in the holy land

Dungeon of Meat
03:44
|

Resist
Schismatic tryst
Your avarice
Will slit your
Resist
And the hit the bone
Eject this nightmare
Sleep beneath stone
Retrieve your teeth
This dirty kiss
We are alone
Alone in this
Resist
Subsist
Resist
Subsist
They think they know
Black bag
Plastic wrap
But in the dark
Our eyes will adapt
If only they knew
If only they knew
If only they knew what these bastard hands could do
Born incomplete
Die on your feet
Suffering slowly
Dungeon of meat
Where we are going the sky is a wound
Clouds wound from sulfur
A cancerous tomb
Feeding the biomass
Upgrading tech implants
Buying sand for an hourglass
Crystalline ore
Power from pre-war
Works like a charm
A literal fire-arm
Subsist
Subsist
Resist
Subsist

Corporate kink
I love this country
I love this land
I love the feeling
Of the back of it’s hand
I love the rich man
I love his power
Love getting fucked for chump change an hour
I love a man
in a million dollar suit
And god damn
will I fellate his boot
Gimme some of that
Yeah
I want it
I want it
You got it
Gimme some of that
I’ll give you any fucking thing I got
American Dream?
Well I guess we’re sleeping
American Dream
Yeah, I guess we’re sleeping
Billionaire
Idol
Poverty
Cult
It’s a real sick joke
It’s a real sick joke
When Earth is drowned
Your coins will weigh you down
Down
Infinite money glitch
Cracking the code
Sudden windfall
Just press download
Chain-lover
Life on a knife’s edge
Pain-seeker
Ecstatic in bondage

A God On All Fours
04:12
|

Arm yourself
Feeling brave?
Does that gun really make you feel safe?
Tiny bodies
Pulsing meat
Eyes like crimson stars at night
Not enough
Bullets
Take us all
The many lives on
The many lives on
The many lives on
We hope she’s smiling
My queen of the gutter
They see what we see
They know that we love her
We are one
A god on all fours
Tread on one
The many will come
Everyone needs a home
So do we
The earth is a catacomb
Our sheer weight will cave it in
Your body will let us in
Everyone needs a home
A great machine
Emerges from the filth
As you sleep
A ladder to your windowsill
Hand in hand
We make the rungs
Before the sun
The screaming song will be sung
It will be sung
Before the sun
Your god hides in the sky
Our god will look you in the eye
Tails interlocked into a garrote
Waves of razor-wire
Come join the knot

Begin
Begin anew
Erase
Erase the life that you knew
Fed up It’s always the same
It’s always the same
Yet we continue to play
Play our little game
I don't wanna have kids with you
Rather remove myself from the gene pool
Blood
Sweat
Misery
A world I cannot see
I cannot see
Love
Sex
Fantasy
I am too scared to leave
I am too scared to leave
We do what we do and we die
We do what we do and we die
We do what we do and we die
We do what we do and we die

Everythings a Grave
03:28
|
|||
There’s a river of red
It runs through you
You animate the dead
What's dead is new
This shovel in our hands
Too lost to save
When it’s all you’ve got
Everything’s a grave
Everything’s a grave
Two glittering dots
Pinholes through the dark
Augmented eyesight
Obedient acolyte
Doesn’t make a sound
As it shifts around
We sit and wait
Therm-optic shape
Are those my shoes?
Are these my hands?
Is this my knife?
Is this part of the plan?
I feel like smiling
I feel like crying
I feel like smiling
I feel like crying
I am the owner of a lifetime supply of patience and love
Gotta love what you do
The goddess in red
This is what she said:
“The slime from below amasses the godhead”
The gutters clogged like a foaming mass
Kneeling with reverence at the seat of the rats
The many eyed
Wet incisor
Feticide
Turn to leather
Breed
Death cult
Fetishize
I lose myself
There is no self
I lose myself
There is no self

Pure Acid Hell
02:31
|
|||
Jack-in
Endless
Void
Parasite
Paranoid
Smile when it feels like shit
Drain the last fucking pig
I gotta say
I gotta say
How are still here today?
I gotta know
I gotta know
How long until it fucking blows?
How long until i’m fucking broke?
It’s like the dreams but it’s not a dream
Exhilarating
If not for the screams
I have found control
In here
Dissolving
Shrinking
That's the fear
The fear
Paranoid
Pure acid hell
The devil seed squirming in my meat
Control
Control
A flash of fangs
Dragging the chains
Twisting alleyways
A murderous sadistic maze
A hate
A night
The tech-nightmare were in
The stink of nitroglycerine

Bite Down Hard
03:24
|
|||
You’re never alone
They’re tracking by drone
Crossed into the zone
Ruins and bone
And it burns
And it burns
And it burns
Oh no
Red line painted down a rotten door
Machine disease
Man on his knees
The stench of decay
Lingers on the highway
The only road into town
EMP
Grenade at the ready
Rad-sickness
Gotta keep it steady
My weapon is drawn
Retractable baton
Now that they’re in range
They won’t make the shift change
Bite down hard
You’re never alone
Gunpowder in the wound
Bite down hard
Bite down hard
Bite down hard
It will be over soon
The signal is weak
But were still on our feet
The necks of nazi bastards underneath

Rats Amassing
04:06
|
|||
In this city your a rat or a cop
The weight of a flood in a single raindrop
Something growing
Underground
The rats amassing
A king with a crown
I’m the in the middle
Gun in the waistband
Thirsty for credits
Warm flesh and cold hands
Someone to sink my teeth in
My circuitry is a sin
Theres nothing like the animal lust
ICEbreaker
Database to bust
Who do you trust?
When skin is false
Computer
Sex
Latex and Semtex
Blood
Blood
Blood
In the machine
Blood
Blood
Blood
Inside the screen
Blood
Chrome
Obscene
Sex in the screen
Evacuate it’s fluid
And isolate the gene
We primp and we preen
In a generated scene
We feast and we ween
On the tit of machine
I can feel
The merging
Cybernetic
Apathetic
Loss of function
Lethal to stun
A hydraulic press in a leather dress
Readout: Failing
Readout: Failing
There’s nothing like the animal lust
Don’t pull the plug
No
No
No
In this domain
I am the law
Rejected from man and conceived as a flaw
It’s been so long
Since i’ve seen the sun
Since i’ve been a gun and said fuck everyone

We are the rats of this city
The rats of this city
The rats of this city
It’s hard to admit
But we stuck out our hand and it got bit
It’s hard to admit
But we stuck out our hand and it got bit
Just listen the day is coming
Maybe not today
Maybe not next week
But it’s true
Yeah, it’s true
Meet me at the place we agreed on
Left of the cross
Ten yards beyond
We’ll leave the city in our dust
Cause god chose us
God chose us
It’s no use
Insects in their hand
Every day their bodies expand
Pharmaceutical corporation
Capital worship
Mass cremation
And when the data leaks
And makes its way to those beneath
You better believe they’re gonna eat
Eat that fucking meat
Razors made to break through our tech’
You really think they give a shit?
Of course we knew it wouldn't last
Just what happens when rats amass
Empty words you’ll say
Empty alleyway
They’re eating her, yeah
Well, then they’re gonna eat me
It’s the tragedy of this economic slavery
Man is made to crawl through the gutter at night
Don’t tell me that this shit is alright
They’re saying nothing to see
Police = the military
Drag another body away
Oh, what a grand conspiracy
Empty words you’ll say
Empty alleyway
We are the rats of this city
The rats of this city
The rats of this city
One more time in case you didn’t get it
We are the rats of this city
The rats of this city
The rats of this city
It’s hard to admit
But we stuck out our hand and it got bit
One more time in case you didn’t get it
It’s hard to admit
But we stuck out our hand and it got bit

9mm (Your Loss, CDPR)

Burn it down
The rats of this town
Red light
Gang fight
Short-circed
I am fine
Shut it down
Cyberdeck
Pull it out
Penetrative tech
Critical
God, it kills
It’s like a dream
Stims in my bloodstream
Millimeter
Nine
I’m just a vampire
Superchromed
Trash-can fire
Dead as romance
Filthy as a braindance
Black bangs
Red fangs
A tanto in mid-swing
Burn something down
Drag their heaven to the ground
Burn it down
The rats of this town
Red light
Gang fight
Short-circed
I am fine
Millimeter
Nine
