Propaganda Holotape

“In the beginning, the Gods lived on Earth. Driven by vanity and greed, they departed on the rumor of a better planet, and a better planet they found. Yggdrasil, the tree that connects the worlds, had been discovered, and around its base a new capital arose in which each God laid a stake: New Mundi. Greater than Heaven. Fouler than Hell.
By the sweat of our brow, the construction of this magnificent city took place on the promise of a better home for all, only to find upon its completion that “all” did not include us. Relegated to the slums of New Mundi’s shadows, our people continue to toil on behalf of the elite, hopeful that one day our promised blessings will be granted. Hope has led to frustration, and frustration, to desperation.
Disease tramples those unable to escape our streets. Poverty echoes in the empty stomachs of our children. Shadows asphyxiate the embers of our hearths.
We gather at the deadlocked gates of those who we us wage, begging without dignity for that which is contractually ours.
Tonight, we collect the debt that holds us hostage against our own survival. Tonight, we reject abject patience in favor of decisive action. Tonight, we are the ushers of a new age where we guide our own destinies.
We are bold.
We are unflinching.
We are the Fearless Union.”

Running For Dictator
04:40
|
|||
V1:
My grin is armed and my blood is cold
I see you’ve got a problem, let me be so bold
As to make a proposition that could benefit us both-
You’re at the end of the line, and I need a soul
I see unfinished business fumbled out of your control
That I’ll put in your hands for some help at the polls-
Our deal is time sensitive, so if you’d kindly enroll
We can move towards accomplishing our mutual goals
There’s a war to be waged on an unseen threat
That’s been plotting your demise while you’ve slept in your beds
It’s been hiding in the shadows and it wants you all dead
But we ain’t gonna wait for this atrocity to spread
We’ll spare no expense so that we can defend
The ambiguous shit that makes us great again
So use your flowers for peace, I’ll use my bullets instead
I’d like to see you rebel with a gun to your head
C:
I’m running for Dictator
Why don’t you vote for me!
I will put everything in line
And make all of your decisions for free
I’m running for Dictator
Ain’t that a pretty sight!
You bet I’ll justify the means
When all my wrongs make it right
V2:
Why you look so worried? Yeah I’m a nice guy!
I’ll get you what you want when everything you have is mine
It ain’t over till it’s over and I’m having too much fun
When I loop it back around send me on another run
Just cut me a percent and I’ll put it to good use-
Vegas or Macau… the fuck you mean abuse?
Yeah you people will all love me or you won’t and that’s still fine
After all it’s not like you can really draw me any lines
I’ll just leave you with the bill when we run into a bind
Write on my benevolence when I finally retire
Bow to my ovation when I interview it live
Continue as a god in the public eye
So join with the candidate who’s qualified
Who sees your daily struggle and will stand up and fight
There’s nothing I won’t see, no word I won’t hear,
No cause to be troubled- Big Brother is here.
V3:
So come on and sign, strike a deal with me!
You’re on the winning side when you’re in my company
So vote and sustain, condition and train,
Lose your thoughts and your name for the role you’ll need to play
It’s hieroglyphic symbology, diverse homogeny
It’s pure psychology you ignorant progeny
So let the message run a cycle through your mind
‘Till the mission and intentions are clear and defined
That I’m the hand that provides when the hunger gnaws inside
I’m the sole authority in which you’ll need to confide
I’m a shadow in the day, I’m a vision in the night
And I’ll justify the means when my wrongs make it right

New Mundi
04:18
|

A:
If you want to find romance
You’d better shake your hips and raise your hands
You’d better change your life and make your plans
To see the greatest city known to man.
B:
When I was a boy the world was a dream
Strategically placed just out of my reach
But the boy became a man and would finally see
Through the intricate layers of this fantasy
That I was never meant to have what they put on the string
That I’d always been a slave to a hierarchy
That there are millions of people that are just like me
All hanging on the whims of a bourgeoisie
So we cling to the future with uncertainty
Numbing our minds to the horrors we see
As the masses toil and the sirens sing
The sweet serenade of New Mundi
C:
Come and see
Your hopes and dreams
Exist in bold reality
Our voices rise in harmony
Where Earth and Heaven. . .
(warped and distorted) “Earth and heaven”. . .
Come and see
Your hopes and dreams
Become a bold reality
Our voices all unite for thee
Where Earth and Heaven finally meet
A:
If you want to find romance
You’d better shake your hips and raise your hands
You’d better change your life and make your plans
To see the greatest city known to man.
B:
It’s the city of wonder
It’s the gem of the skies
It’s the burden on our shoulders crushing down on our lives
To which we lock our eyes and boldly testify
To which we rise, decry, defy, and occupy
Let the word on the street escalate to a roar
Let the thunder of our verdict shake the guilty to the core
As we advocate a cause that’s mine and yours
In the mutually acknowledged dialect of war
‘Cause it’s the labor of our fathers for all to see
It’s a standing monument to what we can achieve
And when sins don’t damn, and truth won’t free,
We stand for the change in New Mundi.
C:
Come and see
Your hopes and dreams
Become a bold reality
Our voices all unite for thee
Where Earth and Heaven finally meet

Shadow of My Grave
04:02
|
|||
V1:
There’s a cold wind whispering in every ear
There’s a voice that’s beckoning for me to draw near
And my feet obey, and my mind grows still
And my eyes go blind, and the words all spill
In a heap of promises yet to be fulfilled
With a trust unwavering and courage instilled
The sun obscures the aether’s gaze
And I stand in awe of its piercing rays
Chorus:
I see the light
I feel the pain
The sweetest ecstasy is coursing through my veins
Through endless night
To dawning day
I seek salvation in the shadow of my grave
V2:
There’s a day not distant where we challenge our fears
In a final reckoning where darkness appears
And we strike with zeal as we fight for peace
And the cleansing truth burns with purity
And our knees will bend, and our hearts adore
And our weary eyes will weep no more
And our voices rise in joyous praise
To a place beyond where they have no names

Sunshine

C1:
Sunshine
You’ll be the death of me
Sunshine
You’ll be the death of me
Sunshine
You’ll be the death of me
Sunshine. . .
Come on and sing for me
V1:
Hopeful rays of death shine down upon me
I can’t tell you I am trapped, but I can’t say that I am free
My love is based on my ulterior motivations
Open to suggestion, but subject to my discrimination
False hopes and vain imaginations
Add up to loneliness and I’m beginning to lose patience
I’ve got such a lovely view as the globe slowly turns
I keep coming back to you although it always burns
C2:
Sunshine
You’ll be the death of me
Sunshine
You’ll be the death of me
Sunshine
You’ll be the death of me
Sunshine. . .
Come have a smoke with me
V2:
Don’t be afraid of the dark
I am the scariest thing around and I won’t do you any harm
You stumble over what you think is wrong and right
When every different angle holds an unseen paradigm
Keep hoping ignorance will excuse your point of view
Hide under your covers babe, I’m catching on to you
I hear your desperate whimpering
Believing lies because the truth won’t set you free.
C3:
Sunshine
You’ll be the death of me
Sunshine
You’ll be the death of me
Sunshine
You’ll be the death of me
Sunshine
Come on and set me free
V4:
And when it’s all over
When the time has passed for any words we want to say
Just hold me closer
Just swallow me in your embrace
C4:
Sunshine
Sunshine
Sunshine
Sunshine
. . . come on, it’s time to leave.

V1:
Falling leaves, barren trees
The season changes come as fast as they all go
Sexy lies, In endless supply
We’ve got the questions, but the answers stay unknown
Long sighs, bloodshot eyes, whispers in the dark
Vain plans to make a stand and leave a lasting mark
Line up an fire off at ideals that we aren’t harming
Every leader we kill builds a bigger army
V2:
Burning smiles, standing trial
We’ve got the targets and our bullets need a home
Wrong and right, justified
Round up the sinners and gather up the stones
They’re doomed to tire out painting us all red
Pull the man from the mask, we’ll put another one in his stead
Sow seeds of fear and hate, the harvest is alarming-
Every leader we kill builds a bigger army
V3:
I see the world in shades of red
I won’t be satisfied ‘till my lust for blood is fed
I march across this field of death
With fire in my veins and a crosshair on my head
Put a weapon in my hands and tell me where to go
Dictate unbridled hate towards people I don’t know
It doesn't matter anyways *on the warpath we are carving*
Every leader we kill…

We Love The Beach
04:00
|
|||
V1:
Ride the pedal, break all the limits
We don’t got a place to be
Tell me loudly over the music
Something’s taking over me---
Stomp your foot straight down to the metal
A rush so good that you could cry
Kick the dust and don’t let it settle
A simple case of do or die
Close your eyes embrace all the tension
The thrill of fearing for your life
Make your weapon of mass destruction
I’m just as deadly with a knife
C:
‘Cause when I dance I go hard
When I sing I get loud
Don’t you ever tell me to turn down
And all this filth is so clean
When I feel the pulsing beat
I want to pull down everything ‘till we’re free
WE LOVE THE BEACH
V2:
When you feel that chill down your spine
I want you to remember me
There’s this all-consuming, ever-engulfing
Appetite I need to feed
You think I’m joking? Take a look at my face
I’ve enjoyed every minute since I’ve fallen from grace
Ask me how I do it? Well I don’t kiss and tell
You can keep your heaven we’ve got better parties in hell

G2:
Standing by
Standing by
Standing by
Standing by
(repeated)
G2-1:
Standing by
Waiting to engage
All of this potential
Is going to go to waste
The fuse is quickly burning
And I am well endowed
If you could kindly give the word
I’ll cross the line right now
UDA-1:
They are the rising storm, they’re letting loose the fire
they burn the world around their passion and desires
They are the spark that strikes the fuel of delight
They are the thunder breaking through the static night
Go grab your ordnance, come get up in the fray
come unload everything, deliver death and pain
This is the final stand- the tipping point, the penultimate fight
They’re the motherfuckin’ Heat Seeking Love Missiles
And we’ve got ‘em in our sights.
G2-2:
Heat-Seeking Love Missiles
Heat-Seeking Love Missiles
Heat-Seeking Love Missiles
Heat-Seeking Love Missiles
(Repeating)
UDA-2:
You planning to phone a friend?
You hoping for an alternate end-
After you blew a 50/50 just to draw the short stick?
You gonna ask the audience about your world of shit?
You were talking like you had a little more to give
You’re taking the L like a part-time gig
But that’s a touchy little subject we'll revisit in time
At the moment, I've got a mind to take you for ride-
I’ll command your attention as to make things clear'
Remain in your seat while the captain steers
Be aware your demise is closer than it appears
See the point of no return in your rear view mirror
I’ve got the answers to the questions you’re afraid to ask
Ive got a boot in position for your lightweight ass
I’ve got my money in my mouth and my hammer by my side
If you’re the best these bitches got
You may as well be standing by

Ultradelicious
02:15
|
|||
V1:
I’ve got bubblegum on the bottom of my shoes
I’ve got way more friends than I could possibly lose
I’ve got a brand new addiction so disgustingly sweet
That it’s melting the enamel right off of my teeth
I’ve got a cold sore smile from ear to ear
If everybody’s doing it there’s nothing to fear
Why leave a good time to a lucky guess?
Read some fortune cookie bullshit and do what it says!
Ultradelicious: it’s a way of life
It’s immediate salvation from a boring time
It’s the life of every party, good times prescribed
You can try it in vanilla, cherry, lemon or lime
So pop it down, light it up, you won’t ever get enough
Strap on in and ride the high
That doesn’t diminish with every time that you try!
C1:
What is this flavor that is breaking my mind?
Ultradelicious, won’t you give it a try!
The fresh addition to your tedious lives!
Ultradelicious, your new favorite vice!
Come in and get some while we have the supply!
Ultradelicious, for a limited time!
The perfect balance of relaxed and refined!
Ultradelicious, anywhere, anytime!
V2:
Let me tell you ‘bout a time I was unpopular
The before and the after are spectacular
All the women were ignoring, big promotions took a pass-
I drank Ultra-D once and now they’re begging for my ass!
Do you want a big dick and perfect teeth?
Do you want to lose 35 lbs this week?
Do you want to build muscle? Are you tired of Sleep?!
Then there’s one solution: and that’s Ultra-D

The Void
04:52
|
|||
V1:
At this moment words are better unspoken
The actions taken here are self-explained
The damage suffered is beyond repair
Sometimes a heart just needs a replacement
Looks like my eggs were all in your basket
And not a single one survived the fall
I’m staring straight into the abyss
With my back against the wall
C:
So tell me lies
So tell me anything to avoid
The truth of this moment
The emptiness of the void
V2:
it’s always been leading to this
Too blind with hate; so cold that I missed
The horrific design; the elaborate extent
Of the plan and my role in this obvious end
I fought the cause, I signed the deal
I gave my all until I saw the reveal
And I know all the reasons, I know my debt
But knowing doesn’t ease the gnawing pain of regret
I see the maw, the future manifests
All hope of resolution begins to relent
As reality descends to the bottom of my heart
And my frail state of mind begins to tears itself apart
As I’m pulled into a place where relentlessly
I’ll be hunted in the dark, I’ll be haunted in my dreams
No peace in my thoughts, no solace in sleep
No mercy in the void to sympathize with my screams.

Lost
03:21
|

What if you were right
What if this is all
Just a moment
Before it all comes crumbling down
What if there’s no hope
What if there is nothing left
But me
And what I’m feeling now
I see that day
I see it all so clear
I scream in pain
Until it deafens all my fears
I burn with rage
But there’s nowhere it can go
Without setting fire
To everything I’ve known
What if you were right
What this is all
Just a moment

The Lifesoul
04:40
|
|||
1:
I see the dawn blossoming
Bursting from the depths of night
The darkness that once enshrouded me
Fleeing from the hope of light
The warmth of the sun surrounds me
Inviting me to lend an ear
As the promises of another day
Whisper so clean and pure
2:
There’s a light on the horizon as far as eyes can see
An invitation to a future where hope beats misery
And my eye of understanding has a scope so miniscule
That the celestine expansion overwhelms my simple view
And my broken heart is mending, and my vision is renewed,
And I see the centuries of hands that joined to bring me to-
This moment in the present, a meek and quiet start
And I feel the steady beating of my heart.
And I feel the steady beating of my heart.
And I feel the steady beating of my heart.
