OTEP LYRICS - Battle Ready

"Battle Ready"



KUAN!!



simple souls overload as I explode data banks

'cause the earth & space gave birth to this paleface



supreme -- linguistic -- mental machine

your 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



it's 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



[chorus:]

BATTLE READY!

poets gonna take control

BATTLE READY

souls violate parole

BATTLE READY

violently invade your home

-- breaking the bones

OF THOSE WHO OPPOSE



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 slain facts



formulating flows in revolutionary science

it's the catastrophic prophet from the anarchist alliance



freaking techniques -- this creature of speech

ewe feels the fury of devastation 'cause ewe ewe 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 WHAT I'M AFTER



[chorus]



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

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



words will flow -- wounds will grow

ewe knows -- bones will be exposed from the force that I unload



it's THE SOUL EATER!! -- mic bleeder with the voice of chaos

I 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 -- through your veins it courses

more lyrical artillery than the armed forces



supernatural -- styles be volatile

it's the mind manipulator -- the WAR CHILD



[chorus]



[bridge]



COME!

SHADOW SOLDIERS!



we came to defy - living life as a lie

we embryonic satellites need our freedom to fly



TO WATCH 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!!!



[chorus]



[outro]

MY SPECIES!

NO SURRENDER!
