Burnt flesh for us to subsist
Dangling by a fucking thread
I don’t trust the fool that I see
obsessed with mediocrity
So obsessed with getting by
Born to exist; price paid,
such spineless, useless trash
The cruelties you let pass
And when it’s your turn
You’ll expect the world
You’ll expect the world to bend
When it’s your turn
the boot will come down on your neck
crushing
And you’ll die again
Another end
Heavier and heavier until your body breaks

Here it waits
Incubation
Within it lays
Misery reigns
You had no choice
forced inception
You’ll get no voice
Parasite bearing blight
It will fucking drain your life
Having to cope with internal strife
Self-instilled sense of guilt
Incapable of knowing what is real
Running, hiding, piece of shit
Stalking, preying on the weak
Forced perception
Of your own life
Left searching
Until the dawn
Parasite excised by knife
Lowered into the spring
Running, hiding, piece of shit
The punishment yet to commit
Blood in the water
Blood in the water
Blood in the water
Blood in the water
Executioner
Drowned in the water

Pendulum (Ft. Schotzi)

Cloaked in chains
Buried in rage
Corrupt the vein
Twist the blade again
No matter how cold it is
I will always feel this way
Ripping at the chains
Searching for a reason burdens me
Malice keeps me heartless; hollow promises,
No strength to grip
Heavy hands betray me as I slip
So am I selfish
Cornered by my shadow
How can I overcome the adversary
indulging in my anxiety
I cannot breathe for myself
Can’t take back borrowed time
It’s such a hollow victory
For me
It takes blunt force
To accept reality
But I reject this
Preferring apathy
And this pendulum won’t let go
I can’t escape. I can’t escape this, no
Can’t take back borrowed time
It is such a hollow victory
For me
Peel back the skin
Show them just how thin
I have become
Just let go motherfucker
Constricted
Pulling me down
Crumbling earth
Consumes me
Constricted
Shackles of pain
Constricted
Pull me down

Caught dead in a barefaced lie
Trade your life for a roll of the dice
Your time is short on earth
Worthlessness for the butcher to slice
Ignoring your own tendencies
Entitlement to another’s flesh
What makes you great?
What makes you deserving?
I’m supposed to accept this?
Your sins will not be dismissed
Closely followed
With a whetted blade
There’s nowhere left to
Hide from your fate
I look down
Into your eyes
As I thrust
the dagger deep
Blessed
Blade
Born unchained
Time
To
Take your claim
I’m supposed to accept this?
Your sins will not be dismissed
Counting iron spikes on a
morning star
Til the fucking end
Bleeding
Til the end
Cosmic justice

Song 5
Such self importance
Blind to auguries
life is so dark
Why couldn’t we speak
Of burdens we bear
No desire to seek
Alone in despair
Stuck behind the door
Living inside our war
Believe everything’s fine
Yet taste the blood
Barrel forward
Motherfucker
Ignore the pain
Suffer
from our silence
Product
Of our past
All this wasted time
Feel forced to lie
Even though we know what tortures our minds
Ghosts of trauma
Waiting for me
Haunted in every dream
Everything that once was
Can never be again

Mean-spirited, aggressive, in your face hardcore that brings to mind some of the best in the genre from the 90s. NGD comes out swinging with tight performances and heavy riffs, and doesn't stop until the competition is out cold, missing teeth.
