Slipknot
Slipknot : Mate. feed. kill. repeat (1997)

1. Slipknot
Pentex sucks! Pentex sucks!!
They drain the life force of my tribe
Pentex sucks!
Bonegnawers suck! Bonegnawers suck!!
They roll around in garbage bins
All Bonegnawers suck!!
(Pentex is bleeding but night is falling)
The Black Hand sucks! The Black Hand sucks!!
Those wyrm-tainted bastard leeches
Black Hand sucks!
If I had my way! If I had my way!
I'd rend them all ripped and torn
ALL THAT SUCKS DIES!!
(Sweet smell bleeding glow is melting me)
I bring my klave into battle
Shifting into Crinos - I slay wyrmfoe
Then I step sideways....
You can't see me, for I hide within the Umbra
They drain the life force of my tribe
Pentex sucks!
Bonegnawers suck! Bonegnawers suck!!
They roll around in garbage bins
All Bonegnawers suck!!
(Pentex is bleeding but night is falling)
The Black Hand sucks! The Black Hand sucks!!
Those wyrm-tainted bastard leeches
Black Hand sucks!
If I had my way! If I had my way!
I'd rend them all ripped and torn
ALL THAT SUCKS DIES!!
(Sweet smell bleeding glow is melting me)
I bring my klave into battle
Shifting into Crinos - I slay wyrmfoe
Then I step sideways....
You can't see me, for I hide within the Umbra
2. Gently
Gently, my mind escapes into the relaxing
World of pleasure,a pleasure that'll take
My mind off the reality of my life
My past life...life as I know it now
And whatever may come,it slowly
Disappears to somewhere in the back
Of my mind.it will remain there
Until I wish to retrieve it
Yes,I will stay here for awhile
For I need the break.A break from the
Pressures of life,and everything
That lays in the palm of life's hands
This mode is incredible.It's out of
This world.Too bad I must always leave it...
...But that's life
World of pleasure,a pleasure that'll take
My mind off the reality of my life
My past life...life as I know it now
And whatever may come,it slowly
Disappears to somewhere in the back
Of my mind.it will remain there
Until I wish to retrieve it
Yes,I will stay here for awhile
For I need the break.A break from the
Pressures of life,and everything
That lays in the palm of life's hands
This mode is incredible.It's out of
This world.Too bad I must always leave it...
...But that's life
3. Do nothing (bitchslap)
The system has failed and you have failed with it
No time to care, just time to say "Who gives a shit?"
My mind boils as I've decided I'm through
Fuck your position in life. I'm taking vengence on you
I break down the walls of the political arena
Cast the vote on FN-FAL, yeah, we'll be seein' ya!
(protect yourself)
I want to put a cap right in your asshole
You step to this, you're gonna pass
for a lump of dogshit in the grass
So, be on your way and get some class
Bitchslap
Chop down the big-wigs, shoot the telelvisions, too
My mind boils in life as I've decided I'm through
The guilty of crimes will be hung from the trees
Spit and punches arise from you and me
Sit back and do nothing if that's what you want to do
I will have my reign as king, when I take vengence on you

4. Only one
Pain - made to order
I'm not the second coming, I'm the first wave
Better get an army, cuz the fire left me unscathed
You betcha bottom dollar I'm the top of the shit pile
So stick around cuz I'll get to you in just a few
Step off the achtung, get back or get stung
Idiotic sense of yourself, are you that dumb?
Entire legion of me, totalitarian
The one and only motherfucker, top of the world man
'Cause I can't stand it, planned it, gonna crash land it
In other words, consider me branded
Another version of me, another version of you
Both barrels, what you gonna do?
All I hear is human noise
You made your own fuckin' choice
I belong to only me
Silence for my revelry
I can only die over time
Filthy hands, stay away from mine
Every reason is a right to hate
Painful clutch - death is fine gimme mine
Only one of us walks away
Somebody explain this
I don't care cuz you don't exist
What the fuck is this another joke?
Rekoning!

5. Tattered and torn
Kill me
Tattered and torn
Something aches
Tattered and Torn
Bad things slither
Tattered and torn
My floors are burning down
Tattered and torn
And I can't find a window
Tattered and torn
This is medieval
Tattered and torn
This is cerebral
Tattered and torn
Suffocated
Tattered and torn
Melodramatic
Tattered and torn
Driven to the verge of
Tattered and torn
I make you my enemy
Tattered and torn
The nerves you sever
Tattered and torn
Can serve you better
Tattered and torn
In the blink of an eye
Tattered and torn
In the space of a second
Tattered and torn
Open my wrists
Tattered and torn
Give me my lessons
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt!

6. Confessions
I know you don't want to see. I know you're not part of me
But you wonder just the same. So I'll let you in on this game
What's on the top is just the beginning of the protectorate that keeps Gaia spinning
It never ends, and with the gifts Luna sends, to the apocalypse
on we defend for the right to live in a perfect world
For our past mistakes, extinction we are hurled
Trying to make amends for the Impergium, as Weaver and the Wyld and a bitch called the Wyrm
(You don't want to know)
All the power of the Wyld that runs through me, yet the reason why is an answer that eludes me
(You don't want to see)
Our viewpoint on what mankind is doing, that black inside when frenzy is brewing
(You don't want to feel)
The sorrow that my heart holds in knowing just where my hopes and dreams are going
(I won't let you be)
Caught up in a war that you are not part of. I sign this letter Your Father, With Love.
I'm trying to set my mind free. I'm sorry you never knew me.
My soul is in recession. Painful to make this confession

7. Some feel
Some feel I don't exist
Never believing in what they see
Some feel that I am not fair
I leave no time for repentance
Tearing the vail Mending the vail
Tearing the vail
Some feel I bare the mark of man
A misguided philosophy
Some feel I kill for fun
I kill for life!
I can't escape what Gaia's left for me / No more
I can't deny the lack of morality / No less
Need time to think need time to think
Need to spill blood so I can drink
Take whay they give take what they give
Some feel I'm dead yet still I live
They don't know I'm immortal
They don't know they're just cattle
They don't know I'm eternal
Eternal

8. Killers are quiet
Cycle of life and death supposedly
Goes 'round and 'round yet it stops with me
Glorious hunter of my faith I have sinned
Killers are quiet like the the breath of the wind
Filling the shadows with forms of my own
Raised by kindred of Get I was born
Abomination world in disarray
Killers are quiet when they seek the vitae
Reflection beckons a portal shard
Spiritual quest I must stay in guard
Stepping sideways betweens worlds I shift
Killers are quiet when they are born with the gift
Beautiful Anguish cast out by my race
Now one that's Ageless I save my own face
I write my own laws with Death I break bread
Killers are quiet when they come from my head
Goes 'round and 'round yet it stops with me
Glorious hunter of my faith I have sinned
Killers are quiet like the the breath of the wind
Filling the shadows with forms of my own
Raised by kindred of Get I was born
Abomination world in disarray
Killers are quiet when they seek the vitae
Reflection beckons a portal shard
Spiritual quest I must stay in guard
Stepping sideways betweens worlds I shift
Killers are quiet when they are born with the gift
Beautiful Anguish cast out by my race
Now one that's Ageless I save my own face
I write my own laws with Death I break bread
Killers are quiet when they come from my head
