lyrics

Since the rise of the cities
When man came in from the plains
Throughout the long arc of history
One thing has remained the same
Some people must grind
While others sit on their hoard
And the have-nots keep dying
In the trenches of the rich people's wars
The oppression of masses
Is built upon an alliance
Between the wealthier classes
And the government's organized violence
A dark lord that seeks to silence
The voices of those that will not submit
The voices of those who will not sit
The voices from the bottom of the pit
It's organized violence
It's tortured confessions
It's brutal intolerance
War and oppression

This is the legacy of mankind
Mass graves left behind
An insatiable need
To sacrifice their blood for greed

A flat burning wasteland
For twenty square miles
Smoldering tires
Burning my eyes
I see piles of corpses
And children wailing in pain
Bones splintering from wounds
A frightened boy screams
Then out of the darkness
A big form emerges
A black lord of hatred
That upholds the world

Hatred feeds the rich

Sometimes they use bullets
Sometimes a simple incision
Sometimes they use torture
Sometimes they lock you up in a prison
Blood drips from your face
And prods shock your balls
You're locked in a place
That echoes with the dying calls
Under the rag the water falls
You're caught in the serpent's jaws
Ripped apart by bloody claws
No one can resist when the black lord calls

It's organized violence
and tortured confessions
It's brutal intolerance
War and oppression

Every dollar of the rich has been taken from the people
Never given a chance to live
Just sacrificed to evil

Locked in a cell
Rotting in hell
Tortured and bound
Left alive underground
Spies and police
Lies and deceased
Religious excuses
Bodies hanging from nooses
Women abused
Children are used
And the dark lord's gaze
Leads you to your grave

Stone Gnome San Francisco, California

After toiling for years in the gloomy darkness of the metal mines of the SF underworld, Stone Gnome has emerged from their subterranean lair to unleash their primordial aural assault on humanity. Combining shredding, nut-punching riffs from dual guitars with a seismic rhythm section forged in the molten core of the Earth, the Gnome will take you on a brain-melting odyssey to rock Valhalla. ... more
