HIGHER FORMS OF MURDER (free) 02:42
Life is for the living, but death is for them too Higher Forms of Murder, better things to do Slaughtering the innocent, for peace we’re waging war Nothing less than the whole wide world is what we’re fighting for Chemical Warfare........Every night and day Chemical Warfare........Millions die that way Chemical Warfare........Empty buildings stand Chemical Warfare........All across the land Pedestrians collapse coughing, people drop like flies Very swift yet painfully the population dies Wait til poison dissipates, armies moving in Building up the rubble, Evil it did win Chemical Warfare........Mangled bodies rot Chemical Warfare........Cremating the lot Chemical Warfare........The Capitol they’ll seize Chemical Warfare........Defeated us with ease Now that they’ve got the USA they’ll build the new Fourth Reich Wipe out third world countries, murder who they like Land of Paranoia don’t fear anymore They found what they needed, they won the Third World War Chemical Warfare........Waited O so long Chemical Warfare........Now they’ll sing their song Chemical Warfare........This is their great day Chemical Warfare........Now they have their way

The fire that burns inside you seeks to eat away at your veins (lifeline) Waiting for the moment when the storm will strike again (this time) Intense burst of anger levels everything around (blitzkrieg) Friends and enemies alike are driven to the ground (you need) Time to relax, you need some space Matter of Fact, you have to face that Something deep inside that rips control away from you (insane) Suppressing all logic and you know just what to do (your brain) “Just leave me alone, I need some time to get away” (you’re through) Beating at the wall but you repair it every day (what do) You think of when you’re like that Your anger rules all, Matter of Fact, you Try to plot your motives, just what keeps you ticking when (you burst) Fueled by self oppression, the real you is on hold then (who’s first) The ones who are the closest, the ones that you like the best (knocked down) You’re not so safe to be around, don’t know when you’ll go next (you’ve found) All your life you’ve lived a lie See it all but don’t know why, and As this keeps on going on you become more violent (once more) Now no one is safe from your widespread torment (you saw) People living their lives offering you no pity (why not) Bawling, “They’ve got riches, why were they denied of me?” (you’ve got) Chip on your shoulder, nose in the air Matter of Fact, why should you care what Happens to you, yea sure, you’ve still got your pride (big deal) Depression haunts you and you contemplate suicide (you feel) Someone has been using you all your life (downhill) Someone else is responsible for your strife (but still) Life begins to pass you by Sunk so low you hardly try to Defend what you’re thinking, you don’t know just what you think (unsure) Matter of Fact I don’t know just how deep you will sink (blood spoor) Seven Turns, a hangman’s noose, a lengthy suicide note (explain) All the anguish you feel, then tear up what you just wrote (it’s plain) No ambission, nowhere to run Russian Roulette with an empty gun, when You die no one will miss you, they are sure to forget (your hate) Those who you think care about you ask, “Aren’t you dead yet?” (too late) Nothing left to live for, you’ve got no ambission (step one) Slit your wrist, a razor blade, completed your mission (it’s done) MATTER OF FACT!

They razed the forests to the ground The E.P.A. didn’t make a sound Tree spikers working for Earth First! But the atmosphere keeps getting worse Towering smokestacks, make them fall Another brick knocked from the wall CHORUS: The system (the System) the system’s on fire But we don’t need no water, let the motherfucker burn The system (the System) it’s on fire But we don’t want no water, let it burn, yo Science killing for humankind Tear out your brain and rob you blind Try to help them, begging “Please! “Mutilation can’t cure disease!” But they won’t listen to common sense Sabotage is the best defense CHORUS …BURN… Preachers pocket wages of sin Dig your own grave, throw yourself in One god or another it’s all the same They win, you lose, name of the game Smash each bloody holy cross ICONICIDE, no fucking loss CHORUS Abolish terrorists of the State Eye for an Eye, hate bred from hate The chains run deeper on both sides You’ve been programmed to run and hide And freedom is a costly lie Until I see the System die CHORUS BURN, BURN, BURN, BURN.. LET IT BURN

SUNRISE 03:50
Hear them cry as they run from shelter “Three cheers for the rising sun” Down below as billions swelter No, you’re not the only one Far away from the world of nighttime Farther than the eye can spy Tellus looms ever closer To the fire in the sky Watch them burn as they slumber Grateful for a quick release As the world hurtles towards madness Maybe now they will find peace At long last Conflagration Watch as the Cities burn Millions pray for the falling Darkness Now the Earth has ceased to turn From on High comes the Order To the Hand that wields the Gun Fight til death as you guard the border To the Land of the Setting Sun War has breached the boiling seas Underneath the burning skies Pregnant with a vast disease Earthbound Suns begin to rise Staring mutely down from space Other minds might think it odd How a World so far from Grace Could come to meet their God

Every week in Sunday School You learn to be a holy fool Church an empty ritual Submission is habitual CHORUS: Benediction/Malediction Greatest Story ever told, is it Fact or fiction Dress up in your Sunday best Perfect just like all the rest Kneel and stand when the others do Sing in the choir til your face turns blue CHORUS Kindly father please take my hand Take me away to the promised land Take me underneath your frock Bend my knees and suck your…1, 2, 3, 4!! CHORUS Follow every sacrament To your own mind’s detriment Now you are their mindless slave When O when will you be saved?

CODE OF THE STREETS (free) 03:47
Take this for example young brothers want rep Cause in the life they're living, you can't half step It starts with the young ones doing crime for fun And if you ain't down, you'll get played out son So let's get a car, you know, a fly whip Get a dent puller, screwdriver, and be out quick With a dope ride, yeah, and a rowdy crew We can bag us a benz and an audi, too Even a jeep or a van, goddamn, we're getting ours, yo Take a trip up the strip, and be like stars so It doesn't matter if the cops be scoping They can't do jack, that's why a young brother's open To do anything, anywhere, anyplace Buckwild in another court case It's the code of the streets They might say we're a menace to society But at the same time I say "why is it me? Am I the target, for destruction? What about the system, and total corruption? I can't work at no fast-food joint I got some talent, so don't you get my point? I'll organize some brothers and get some crazy loot Selling d-r-u-g-esses and clocking dollars, troop Cause the phat dough, yo, that suits me fine I gotta have it so I can leave behind The mad poverty, never having always needing If a sucker steps up, then I leave him bleeding I gotta get mine, I can't take no shorts And while I'm selling, here's a flash report Organized crime, they get theirs on the down low Here's the ticket, wanna bet on a horse show? You gotta be a pro, do what you know When you're dealing with the code of the streets Nine times out of ten I win, with the skills I be wielding Got the Tec One dealing, let me express my feelings Guru has never been one to play a big shot It's just the styles I got that keep my mic hot And fuck turning my back to the street scene It gives me energy, so imma keep things Coming, just to get what I'm selling Maybe criminal or felon dropping gems on your melon So keep abreast to the gangstarr conquest Underground ruffnecks, pounds of respect I've never been afraid to let loose my speech My brothers know I kick the code of the streets

about

ICONICIDE New York, New York

ICONICIDE are a NYC based band whose sound has ranged from sludgy political dirges to blazing fast thrash, from toe tapping street punk to a lethal mix of dub reggae and death metal. Underlying it all has been what spurred frontman Chris (the Antimessiah) to start the band back in 1988: the stripped down, no nonsense, rip out your guts sound of Early 80s New York Hardcore. ... more
