Lazarus Casket

by Lazarus Casket

supported by

CtPaTown It's the perfect combination of Thrash & Death Metal with just a little melody thrown in for good measure. What sets Shield Chaser apart though from the rest of the songs, are the crushing mid-tempo parts. Favorite track: Shield Chaser.

1.	Your Demise 04:21	lyrics	buy track
“Your Demise” Like cancer to the womb You killed us from the start Selfishly deceive, devour us apart Like Christians to the wolves They’ll feed on empty souls Hypocrisy, destroy everything Your demise Will feed my soul Eternal Hate Makes my blood boil Conniving tongues Lashing us to pieces You cower, you bow out Dedication to yourself This ain’t no family Outdated, decrepit So you can finally ROT IN HELL!!! YOUR DEMISE (Your demise!) YOU DESPISE (You despise!) Hold the blade to your veins Exhale. Let it all spew out Drain everything. You got what you want Your demise Will feed my soul Eternal Hate Makes my blood boil You despise Every fucking thing Your own daughter Your own existence Everything you own Everyone you know, SEES THE CANCER IN YOUR SOUL!
2.	Trapped Beneath 04:54	lyrics	buy track
“Trapped Beneath” verse 1: Corroded endings, ties don’t bind, waging internal war, to shatter existence! (2 measures) Into the night, I shall pass beyond the fortress A place for the dead to live there’s no way out Lost to all, wandering eternity The abyss stuck between heaven and hell! Pre-chorus: Our time has come, exposed by the sun Chorus: Trapped under the fallen, encased, within this decay, choose the side you’ve chosen, beneath is where you’ll stay! Widespread reform, society forgotten, welcome to an age, where we digressed in time. Yay! Digressed in time! Frozen deep below, our screams unheard Reflections long forgotten Into the night, I shall pass beyond the fortress A place for the dead to live there’s no way out Lost to all, wandering eternity The abyss stuck between heaven and hell! Pre-chorus/chorus: (bridge) Woken, this dream We should just sleep Our fate, no hope We are trapped beneath Chorus: Trapped under the fallen, encased, within this decay, choose the side you’ve chosen, beneath is where you’ll stay! Widespread reform, society forgotten, welcome to an age, where we digressed in time. Yay! Digressed in time!
3.	Shield Chaser 05:03	lyrics	buy track
“Shield Chaser” I fought off all the laws that fed tyranny. They merged a creative plan, that led to the framing…and through all the lives that I’ve lost, myself…time is a grain left in the hourglass! On that road, fugitive unknown. Plague these streets, never Reach defeat, keep hugging that shoulder, I’ll leave you in the dust, paved this road for a standard, I’ve strived so hard! On that road, never be controlled, call for backup on the radio, see my silhouette or mirage. I reflect upon my actions, never bleed out before my eyes, a legion of corrupt bureaucrats decide the fate of society. Gaining on my trail, and the spotlight dropped below, I am the nomad, the drifter of this world. It’s the freedom of expression, spawn the voice of reason, the washing of human brains, bigfoot imprints of minorities, is there any language left? To wander these woods alone! I would rather die, spend my life behind these bars, I just waited for the right time to flee. The prison you’ve come to know, is no greater than the prison you’re forcefed, he who has the gold makes the rules, the golden rule!!! On that road, fugitive unknown. Plague these streets, never Reach defeat, keep hugging that shoulder, I’ll leave you in the dust, paved this road for a standard, I’ve strived so hard! On that road, never be controlled, call for backup on the radio, see my silhouette or mirage. The road to the noose, I sit and wait, the road to the chair beckons me…the road to the needle, I sit and wait…a chamber of rebirth, all is fate. (solo) On that road, fugitive unknown. Plague these streets, never Reach defeat, keep hugging that shoulder, I’ll leave you in the dust, paved this road for a standard, I’ve strived so hard! On that road, never be controlled, call for backup on the radio, see my silhouette or mirage. I reflect upon my actions, never bleed out before my eyes, a legion of corrupt bureaucrats decide the fate of society. Gaining on my trail, and the spotlight dropped below, I am the nomad, the drifter of this world. The road to the noose, I sit and wait, the road to the chair beckons me…the road to the needle, I sit and wait…a chamber of rebirth, all is fate.
4.	Engrave(d) 04:57	lyrics	buy track
“Engrave(d)” No one listens Cause no one cares The vultures rape you You quiver with terror An early funeral Eulogy of shit Go dig your grave Death awaits you bitch! Worthless/Spineless/Endless pit Your demise will lay this to rest! Endless sabotage An old man’s revenge The smell of vile Vermin fecal flesh Stuck knee-deep In your own shit As quicksand drowns you One more lie you spit Worthless/Spineless/Endless pit Your demise will lay this to rest! We reap what you sow As you die for your own cause We stand in blood we’ve lost We reap what you sow (solo) Wandering child of darkness You’ve got a lot to learn Hollywood whore of lies Too many bridges burned You brought this on yourself You know you’ll burn in hell Because I am the Prophet I watch your flesh boil! We reap what you sow As you die for your own cause We stand in blood we’ve lost We reap what you sow We reap what you sow
5.	Dungeons Of Machines 05:37	lyrics	buy track
“Dungeon Of Machines” Guilty as charged, united we stand In the middle of the Promised Land Once we see, our lives in a system Of habitual plague, machines will take over Fill #1: It started off with wheel to rock We winded gears to tick and tock Hydraulic muscles pumped out steam The locomotives mans next dream We ripped the feathers out for fight And microchips in sight Man’s been places never seen We gift wrapped blueprints for machines! (open) Online cybernetic organisms Dwelling beneath the surface Waning – to strike Designing mass killings and tortures Genetic/artificial/machinery Lacerating/systematic/proportions (open) Infiltrate the enemy And fuck their weakness Release the virus, and frag believers Bridges are down The night watchmen ready Now we travel to the dungeon of machines This is the end The bitter end of extinction Take this bloody oath Dripping with human propaganda (repeat fill #1) It started off with wheel to rock We winded gears to tick and tock Hydraulic muscles pumped out steam The locomotives mans next dream We ripped the feathers out for fight And microchips in sight Man’s been places never seen We gift wrapped blueprints for machines! (open) Online cybernetic organisms Dwelling beneath the surface Waning – to strike Designing mass killings and tortures Genetic/artificial/machinery Lacerating/systematic/proportions Pre-chorus: Suppressed human memories Decreased emotions, led me To believe in time Chorus: The classic struggle, for identity We know who wants to be a machine? We left to grow, the robotics of a revolution We gathered in the sewers, to socially redeem We tell stories to make the rituals habitual! Verse #2: Call upon my name When the rulers began to slay Wait for the sun to explode Incinerate this race They scan with x-ray traps Now they try to reform and shape Breakdown: Once you’re inside, this dungeon of torture And suicide; this is your end of days Once you’re inside, this dungeon of torture And suicide; this is your end of days Slaves drive your numbered days… Seeing is believing, recognize the blood drips from the ceiling Kneeling for the weak links, skies rain in machine grease Pre-chorus: Suppressed human memories Decreased emotions, led me To believe in time Chorus: The classic struggle, for identity We know who wants to be a machine? We left to grow, the robotics of a revolution We gathered in the sewers, to socially redeem We tell stories to make the rituals habitual! Verse #3: They never found you in the night They always left you all so cold! If machines rape their eyes, and snakes with apples I’d rather be here during the fight Then to be part of the mold I’ll leave this world without remembering the bad times I’m reborn, in the soil, living in a different shame If we new what we had in store Would we reap the rewards? If machines were created first Well would humans do the same? Well who’s to blame?! I’ll leave this world without remembering the bad times I’m reborn, in the soil, well…who is to blame?! Welcome to the dungeon of MACHINES!!!
6.	Beyond Cryptics Fall 05:12	lyrics	buy track
“Beyond Cryptics Fall” (2 measures) Cool mist along the grassy plains, preparing to shed darkness, all alone I sit and wait, for I am cryptic! You’ll never know, you’ll never be Sworn to serve by religions to the one. More enemies seek vengeance, your time has come to fall My destiny, my inherent treason All of my truths, turn to lies I am immortal, a perfect soul (x2) Riding the wings of death (death!), lashes of blood (blood!), hammers in hell (hell!)…fall!!! (x2) My destiny, my inherent treason All of my truths turn to lies This wretched place of death and destruction, my eyes are blinded red, the rest is for the dead! The dead! The dead! You’ll never know, you’ll never be Rip the wings of light/ an era of darkness/ not this day/ not this fight We have fallen beyond, cryptics (x3) We have fallen beyond! I am immortal, a perfect soul (x2) Riding the wings of death (death!), lashes of blood (blood!), hammers in hell (hell!)…fall!!! (x2) My destiny, my inherent treason All of my truths turn to lies The gathering, of swords and axes, the fighting wits of one hundred men, this is what you asked for, now it all ends!!! (solo) My destiny, my inherent treason All of my truths turn to lies I am immortal, a perfect soul (x2) Riding the wings of death (death!), lashes of blood (blood!), hammers in hell (hell!)…fall!!! (x2) My destiny, my inherent treason All of my truths turn to lies We have fallen beyond, cryptics (x3) We have fallen beyond!
