Project 86 Picket Fence Cartel Lyrics
1.Destroyer

Ready yourself for the end
Ready yourself because you cannot pretend
Ready yourself for the late, for the great
The Destroyer's surrounded and cannot defend

Ready yourself for the end
Ready yourself because you cannot pretend
Ready yourself for the late, for the great
The Destroyer's surrounded and cannot defend

The lives that you thought that were yours to devour
Destroyer, the tables have turned in this hour
The plagues you unleashed, every vice that you fed
Shall be visited here ten-fold on your head

Let go, cause you know
In the end all you were was a pawn in the show
Let go, cause you know
In the end all you were was a pawn in the show

Witness the fear of the fiends
Open the flood gates, behold and believe
Witness the pain, let it rain on the beast
For the serpent is slain in a blaze of defeat

The lives that you thought that were yours to devour
Destroyer, the tables have turned in this hour
The plagues you unleashed, every vice that you fed
Shall be visited here ten-fold on your head

Let go, cause you know
In the end all you were was a pawn in the show
Let go, cause you know
In the end all you were was a pawn in the show
Let go, cause you know
In the end all you were was a pawn in the show
Let go, cause you know
In the end all you were was a pawn in the show

The lives that you thought that were yours to devour
Destroyer, the tables have turned in this hour
The plagues you unleashed, every vice that you fed
Shall be visited here ten-fold on your head

Let go, cause you know
In the end all you were was a pawn in the show
Let go, cause you know
In the end all you were was a pawn in the show
Let go, cause you know
In the end all you were was a pawn in the show
Let go, cause you know
In the end all you were was a pawn in the show


2.The Butcher

This man came to me, he was looking for action
Pulling a blade to my neck
He said 'Call me the butcher cause that's my trade
And you know that I've come to collect'

I said 'Hit me now and we'll see where it leads
Cut me out, if you think I will bleed
Strike me down if you think you're a man
Because I know that you don't understand'

Because there is no weapon, there is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid?
There is no weapon, there is no blade
You'll never kill Him that lives inside of me

He looked into my eyes, all he saw was conviction
Dropping the blade to the earth
I said 'How could you think that I'd ever retreat?
You know that I'm already dead'

I said 'Hit me now and we'll see where it leads
Cut me out if you think I will bleed
Strike me down if you think you're a man
Because I know that you don't understand'

Because there is no weapon, there is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid?
There is no weapon, there is no blade
I've erased all of my fear of the grave
There is no weapon, there is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid?
There is no weapon, there is no blade
You'll never kill Him that lives inside of me


Because there is no weapon, there is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid?
There is no weapon, there is no blade
I've erased all of my fear of the grave
There is no weapon, there is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid?
There is no weapon, there is no blade
You'll never kill Him that lives inside of me


3.The Spectacle of Fearsome Acts

Take hold your fate in your hands
Your payment in time will demand
With fruit that's forbidden, we eat then we die
And we can't survive

When evil rears it's head, it's life and death
Like David sowed his seed and his family bled

You tried to tempt your fate
Turns out it's your mistake
You took what wasn't yours to take
Now didn't you? Didn't you?

Consequence comes like a thief
So quick that it defies belief
Beware the curse it will pass to your seed
With dirty deeds

When evil rears it's head, it's life and death
Like David sowed his seed and his family bled

You tried to tempt your fate
Turns out it's your mistake
You took what wasn't yours to take
Now didn't you? Didn't you?

You tried to tempt your fate
Turns out it's your mistake
You took what wasn't yours to take
Now didn't you? Didn't you?

You only have one chance
Don't take it light
You only have one chance
So get it right

Don't take it light
So get it right
Don't take it light

You tried to tempt your fate
Turns out it's your mistake
You took what wasn't yours to take
Now didn't you? Didn't you?

You tried to tempt your fate
Turns out it's your mistake
You took what wasn't yours to take
Now didn't you? Didn't you?


4.Dark Angel Dragnet

Bayonets to insurgents lurking in my veins
My DNA, red template saluting my dark angel dragnet
I returned my cement shoes, cashed in my sadness
I don't intend to sleep with the fish

Because I can't resist...

Cancel my ticket booked to fire
Choirs of angels sing my name
Machete to that destination
New destiny will curse the flame

The terror of the daylight, it once consumed me
My undead devious ways, the champion of getaways
This hallowed vaccination, this sacred pure attraction
In You, I'm now just a passenger

So just take the reins...

Cancel my ticket booked to fire
Choirs of angels sing my name
Machete to that destination
New destiny will curse the flame

Cancel that flight into oblivion
Your ship now has an open seat
Enjoy those sips of sour poison
While I sit back and watch it rain

Let it rain, let it rain...

Cancel that flight into oblivion
Your ship now has an open seat
Enjoy those sips of sour poison
And say hello to death for me


5.Cold and Calculated

A life you built exploiting the dreams of innocents
Preying on the wide-eyed fantasies
Of those with the purest intent
As parasites, they always need a host

How many lives have you bled?
Your crooked gain will always find a leech's ending...

There is a reason you cannot sleep
You found the wages you've sown in greed
There is no solace in what you seek
You found that although you have gained it all

You had to sacrifice your prize
After all was said and done you lost your pet

Rest it eludes you as spirits fill your head
Longing for the days when
Ghosts you used won't follow you into your bed
So now it's cost cost the apple of your eyes

You'll never see her again
Why can't you see that she is not your property when...

There is a reason you cannot sleep
You found the wages you've sown in greed
There is no solace in what you seek
You found that although you have gained it all

You had to sacrifice your prize
After all was said and done you lost your pet

There is a reason you cannot sleep
You found the wages you've sown in greed
There is no solace in what you seek
You found that although you have gained it all

You had to sacrifice your prize
After all was said and done you lost your pet


6.Cement Shoes

I stalked serenity with blind obsession
And found possession as I lost control
The secret vice that proclaimed my freedom
Is now a slavery that's all my own

My own, my own, my own
I'm powerless to this voice
I'll never prevail alone

Desperate, we will proclaim
That on our knees, we're not ashamed
So we bow it to, bow it to, kneel before you
Just like a child here, I'm not ashamed
No, we're not ashamed

And so in urgency we now concede
That we are helpless in this undertow
Cause in surrender now, there just might be
A new serenity that's all my own

My own, my own, my own
I'm powerless to this voice
I'll never prevail alone

Desperate, we will proclaim
That on our knees, we're not ashamed
So we bow it to, bow it to, kneel before you
Just like a child here, I'm not ashamed
No, we're not ashamed

So we bow it to, bow it to, kneel before you
So we bow it to, bow it to, kneel before you
So we bow it to, bow it to, kneel before you
So we bow it to, bow it to, kneel before you

Desperate, we will proclaim
That on our knees, we're not ashamed
So we bow it to, bow it to, kneel before you
Just like a child here, I'm not ashamed
No, we're not ashamed


7.A John Hancock With The Safety Off

Cure the radio...
We'll lend you an oxygen flask
Cure the airwaves...
To quench your collapse at last
Cure the video...
We're beaming in pearl and white
Cure the satellites...
Cause finally your poverty's mine

You're probably wondering how we came out alive
Why we are laughing while you bury your eyes
Never forget our only reason to live...

Cure the radio...
Solutions of silver and chrome
Cure the airwaves...
In broadcasts of pirate hopes
Cure the video...
These portraits of assets have turned
Cure the satellites...
From pictures into revolvers

You're probably wondering how we came out alive
Why we are laughing while you bury your eyes
You're probably wondering how we came out alive
Never forget our only reason to live is to die

Come down and rise to our level
Cure the radio, cure the airwaves

Let all the world know the prisoners took flight
And watch the city streets as towers ignite
The former's kings and all their armies burn bright
While we sit back in all the glory tonight

You're probably wondering how we came out alive
Never forget our only reason to live


8.Two Glass Eyes

I heard you're on a witch hunt here tonight
Desperate to reclaim those limelight heights
But oh, I can't believe the envy cocktails you consume
And now you condescend to take me for a fool

Rescue me, separate my desires
Capture these wicked men and release my mind

So summon those ghosts and try with all your might
The past is obsolete and you will find how
That chip with which you operate
Like someone owes you for your greatness
Is the very thing that steals your heart's desires

Rescue me, separate my desires
Capture these wicked men and release my mind

Vicious men with vile ways
So envious in all their days
What will it take to demonstrate
Celebrity breeds infamy

Fame is infamy

Rescue me, separate my desires
Capture these wicked men and release my mind
Deliver me, liberate us from envy
Reconcile every heart and destroy my pride

You come at me with villainy
In every sense its irony
Because the very act of jealousy
Has sealed your fate to slavery

Fame is infamy


9.Cyclonus

Anvils fall from your lips
Like shrapnel bits from these metal fists
Pounding my back without mercy
With an arsenal of foul curses

Attitude without gratitude
Is like pulverizing my chest
You dream to take me down
So here's your goodbye kiss

Devastator
Complicator
Bringer of pain
Why won't you fly away?

Now you jumped the fence
As enemies, they transform to friends
Spitting your venom at my back
And asleep in the dragon's lair

Loyalty's not your currency
How soon you do forget
You think you've found your wings
But you'll never fly again

Devastator
Complicator
Bringer of pain
Why won't you fly away?

Devastator
Complicator
Bringer of pain
Why won't you fly away?

Fly away, disappear
And just disappear and just fly away
Erasing me from your memory

Devastator
Complicator
Bringer of pain
Why won't you fly away?

Devastator
Complicator
Bringer of pain
Why won't you fly away?


10.The Black Brigade

Prepare in urgency to race
Casting off the weight that burdens me
I cannot dare to force the pace
Marathon for life, the road I face

Committed, determined
My gaze is set on finishing

I'm straining to extend the lead
As every evil chases me
One day, one hour, every step
I know, I know
I fix my eyes ahead

Straining on to run without remorse
Casting off mistakes that came before
In my mind, I see a hallowed door
Open arm embrace, I'm reaching for

Committed, determined
My gaze is set on finishing

I'm straining to extend the lead
As every evil chases me
One day, one hour, every step
I know, I know
I fix my eyes ahead

Just like a breeze is passing me
My stammers, a distant memory
We cannot afford a glance to see
What's gaining or what is history

Unyielding, unflinching
My gaze is set on finishing

I'm straining to extend the lead
As every evil chases me
One day, one hour, every step
I know, I know
I fix my eyes ahead

I'm straining to extend the lead
As every evil chases me
One day, one hour, every step
I know, I know
I fix my eyes ahead


11.To Sand We Return

Cowering man
A legion of no-ones call
Bet it all

Covenant kill
He points to the heavens
Bare with blank stares

Beckoning search in self for his answer
Reckoning, purge, the great fall, the cancer
Settlement comes in wages, now he is
Shattered, broke, and all alone

We've lost all our control
Our faces fall to the ground
We're powerless to Your voice
Surrender to the sound

What'll it take
To prove our decision's wrong
Will we fall?

Alone in ourselves
There's nothing but chaos, fear
End it here

'Til we concede to drink from the endless
The desert we find ourselves in is hopeless
'Til we submit and let go the control
We will always be alone

We've lost all our control
Our faces fall to the ground
We're powerless to Your voice
Surrender to the sound

We've lost all our control
Our faces fall to the ground
And no longer feeling so
Shattered, broke and all alone

Who do I belong to?
Not earth. Not world.
Not evil. Not mortals.
Not wretches. Not horrors.

Who do I belong to?
Unchanging. Unbreaking.
Unfailing. Creator.
Immortal. Eternal.

We've lost all our control
Our faces fall to the ground
We're powerless to Your voice
Surrender to the sound

We've lost all our control
Our faces fall to the ground
We're powerless to Your voice
Surrender to the sound
