1.

simple souls overload as i explode data banks

cuz the earth & 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

somewhere out beyond the edges in the depths of spirit land

its authentic, apocalyptic destroyer

damaging challengers -- resurrection, disorder

a monument of crisis - i strike 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



2.

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

its the catastrophic prophet from the anarchist alliance

freaking techniques -- this creature of speech

you feel the fury of devastation cuz you, you tasted defeat

i'm alone on my throne 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 -- the UNKNOWN IS WHUT I'M AFTER!



BATTLE READY

poets gonna take control



BATTLE READY

souls violate parole



BATTLE READY

violently invade your home



-- breaking the bones

OF THOSE WHO POSE(x2)



shaking up the world -- just like the 2nd coming of christ

-- when i write -- thrice divine with this goddess sight

werdz will flow -- wounds will grow

you know -- bones will be exposed from the force that i unload

its THE SOUL EATER! -- mic bleeder with the voice of chaos

eye got the nectar of the gods flowing from my mental pod

gather the flock -- alarm your block

tell them the shepherds have come & got the keys to unlock

a holy war -- thru your veins it courses

more lyrical artillery than the armed forces

supernatural -- styles be volatile

its the mind manipulator -- the WAR CHILD!



BATTLE READY

poets gonna take control



BATTLE READY

BATTLE READY

violently invade your home



-- breaking the bones

OF THOSE WHO POSE



COME...

SHADOW SOLDIERS



we came to defy - you 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

OF THOSE WHO POSE

NO SURRENDER!!
