Lay down in your grave
Wrapped up in a white flag
No will to escape - paralyzed
Crushed under the weight of trying to survive
Call it a living while being deprived
Just accept your roles as your dreams subside
Your masters will provide
Dangling the carrot on the string
to lure you in
The futile tease
Grasping, slipping
Suffocate: strangled by the leash
Our suffering: from being strangled by the leash

Regression
01:37
|
|||
|
Feel the cravings, the gnawing obsession in the back of your throat
Larynx tightens as you fall incoherent
Vision tunnels, eyes raw and torn
Swollen and bloodshot
Devoid of emotion in dazed disarray
The Irony is the more we plug in, the more we're detached
Crazed addicts high on the fix
Endless gaze into the screens abyss
synced to the supply - synthetic consciousness
Reality lost, mind is invalid - cease to exist
Organic puppets on wireless strings
The Irony is the more we plug in, the more we're detached
Abusing tools of progress, humans regress
Inhuman regression

Tics
04:25
|
|||
|
Blurring life out of focus on a developing mind
With another diagnosis, again and again what did you find?
Tics, tics, tics - forever repeating
Glitch, glitch, glitch - relentless and defeating
Cannot stop the blinking, cannot stop the bobbing
Brain smashed to mush
Frozen attention, self mutilation
Taken to much
Put under observation, the problem must be their mind
Pharmaceutical solution is to drown them with pills
An endless supply
A mother full of worry, child misunderstood
Follow the doctors' orders
Another pill will do you some good
Swallow it down
Still no cure
Brain dissolves
Prescribed failure

Already Dead
04:16
|
|||
|
Turning tools into weapons
Sell them as toys to unassuming victims
Controlling the hive
Alive in the skin but dead in the mind
Zombified masses: freedom redefined
Sucking the life out of mortal vessels
Ammunition is the products and the targets are our lives
Trade shame for acceptance and deny the facts
that the rewards are selfish
Hooked again and again
You're already dead
Stay dead
Handheld caskets own all of your attention
Becoming ghosts to the world
Stay. Fucking. Dead.

Despondent Cries
03:34
|
|||
|
Ash, concrete and bone debris litter the scene
Familiar places that once were called home are now turned to abstraction
The deafening sounds of killing machines rings out through the night
While fires rage on, burning eternal in the hearts left to mourn
Warheads fall from the sky like precipitation in the season of death
Shattering a half empty glass once full of false hope
Never meant to last
There is no recourse for the skeletons that remain
Fragile statue scarecrows keep enemies refrained
Reminders that stupidity will always get its way
And that the powers that be will always destroy those that disobey
As the stars fall from the sky
Bringing fires of hell to tormented lives
To the innocent ones the final act has arrived

Facades
02:27
|
|||
|
Skewed perspectives, public discourse
Re-trust the power of written words
Empty sources to be believed
Validation lost for what is perceived
Information flows - accessible through our fingertips
Become so reliant that our ability to think diminishes
Attached to all - woven together by electric threads
Conditioning our minds to replace logic with perverse stimuli
Love our oppression - the media, the language, the illusion of truth
Status on display - the dramatic, entertaining lie
Playing roles in a false reality where our identities reside
Becoming lost to a foolish, pathetic, devolved form of life
|

Servile Flatterer
01:21
|
|||
|
Turn on your friends, trust in the lies, swallow it whole
Believe the rhetoric, hang on every word, manipulated control
Hooked from the start
As the country is torn apart
Drawing a line in the sand
Fight against your fellow man
Fall victim to your hubris
Negating the facts you've missed
Fall for agendas hiding in plain sight right in front of your eyes
Play to your emotion, alter the facts, the perfect disguise
Transform into a minion for fools
|

Sleight of Hand
02:57
|
|||
|
Lured into a state of psychosis
By the allure of their shiny machines
Sleight of hand- misdirection, tricking us to obey
Blind like fools buying ourselves into slavery
Deceived to believe we make these choices all on our own
As our minds become property that we pay to have stolen
Seeing the adverts on the screens
Repetitive conditioning sculpts our beliefs
Consuming like maggots starved for the feast
Numb to the idea that we aren't free
Mirroring life through cheap imitation
Deceiving lies represented as truths
Chronic misuse feeds our reliance
For synthetic pleasures that equal false rewards
Do you own your possessions or do they own you?

Discarded Fragments
06:10
|
|||
|
Feeling submerged under the weight
Of frustrating stress that I can't shake
Working so hard with nothing to show
Roots have been severed ceasing to grow
Waking life feels like a dream
Become a shadow of what used to be
Passions are lost, can they be redeemed?
Head in a noose and an anchor around my feet
Becoming numb
Pulse flattening out
From a heart that has begun to seize
A fractured remnant of nothing
Days start to drag forever long
Reality slipping, now it is gone
What was familiar now feels so wrong
Isolation weakens the strong
No longer whole, empty inside
Am I still alive or have I already died?
Reaching for salvation with hands that are tied
By deceit, self-hatred and lies
No longer human
This vessel is hollow
A fragmented shell
Discarded in hell

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

The Chicago punks seem intent on defying any hardcore conventions, focusing instead on communicating pure disgust for the rotting world around them.

Polish noise-crust outfit eschews the big Tragedy-esque riffs still popular with their US counterparts for scratchy claustrophobia.

If this came through your feed, you're probably like "Way to go dumbass... You didn't have this shit already??" 😂🤣 I'll have you know I am buying this album once again (for like, what? the 4th time??) to pick up the new sick "sea blue gel" vinyl variant of this modern classic. Jfc Earache Records still knows how to grab my money, even after all these years haha. Have a feeling "Hiss" will be near the top of my Albums of the Decade list when all is said and done. What an absolute masterpiece.
