Lyrics

(CRY!)
Simple souls overload as I explode the data-banks
'Cause the Earth and space gave birth to this paleface
Supreme
Linguistic
Mental machine
My brain cells swell
The intellects extreme
Fire fills my veins as I proclaim my resistance
To the mind-swapping parasites
That feed off my existence
As I skin the burn
To relearn the royal plan
Out beyond the edges in the depths of spirit land
It's authentic
Apocalyptic destroyer
Damaging challengers
Resurrection disorder
A monument of crisis
I strikes this
Your dead
Line my nest with your soul
Cleansed in bloodshed
(BATTLE READY!)
Poets gonna take control
(BATTLE READY!)
Souls violate parole
(BATTLE READY!)
Violently invade your home
Breaking the bones
(OF THOSE WHO POSE!)
Commanding the mic, striking up a verb-fest
Mass destruction is my function
Time to put it to the test
In combat
Attacking since way back
In the days I drew praise
For the way that I slayed facts
Formulating flows in revolutionary science
It's the catastrophic prophet from the anarchist alliance
Freaking techniques
Creature of speech
We feel the fury of devastation
'Cause we tasted defeat
I'm alone
I'm alone in this universe of fear
Royalty divides my soul
In this role I'm revered
As the pinnacle
Lyrical master
Queen of disaster
I ruin brain fluid
(UNKNOWN IS WHAT I'M AFTER!)
(BATTLE READY!)
(BATTLE READY!)
Breaking the bones
Of those who pose
(BATTLE READY!)
Poets gonna take control
(BATTLE READY!)
Souls violate parole
(BATTLE READY!)
Violently invade your home
Breaking the bones
(OF THOSE WHO POSE!)
Shaking up the world
Just like the second coming of Christ
When I write
Thrice divine with this goddess sight
Words will flow
Wounds will grow
You know
Bones will be exposed
From the force that I unload
It's
(THE SOUL EATER!)
Mic bleeder with the voice of chaos
I got the nectar of the gods
Flowing from my mental pod
Gather the flock
Alarm your block
Tell them the shepherds have come
And got the keys to unlock
A holy war
Through your veins it courses
More lyrical artillery than the armed forces
Supernatural
Styles be volatile
It's the mind manipulator
(WAR CHILD!)
(BATTLE READY!)
Poets gonna take control
(BATTLE READY!)
Souls violate parole
(BATTLE READY!)
Violently invade your home
Breaking the bones
(OF THOSE WHO POSE!)
(COME!)
(SHADOW SOLDIERS!)
(WE CAME TO DEFY!)
(LIVING LIFE AS A LIE!)
We embryonic satellites need our freedom to fly
(TO WATCH YOU DIE!)
Agonizing cries are heard in stereo
I'm visualizing battlefield scenarios
In the line of fire
Watching empires fall
Into attack position
(ELIMINATE ALL!)
(MY SPECIES!)
(BATTLE READY!)
(BATTLE READY!)
(BATTLE READY!)
Breaking the bones
Of those we pose
(BATTLE READY!)
Poets gonna take control
(BATTLE READY!)
Souls violate parole
(BATTLE READY!)
Violently invade your home
Breaking the bones
(OF THOSE WHO POSE!)
(MY SPECIES!)
(MY SPECIES!)
(NO SURRENDER!)
(NO SURRENDER!)
