Come and join the fun This world has just begun to get crazy There's room for everyone **** your life It's not worth living So follow me Down this road That No one knows of Just the moon And the stars I'll take you Far away From this place No one Will find you there. Once you leave with me And finally see What you've been missing You'll never want to leave They say that time Is never ending So follow me Down this road That No one knows of Just the moon And the stars I'll take you Far away From this place No one Will find you there As if youve disappeared I'll think I'm in the clear But this is just an ordinary fix For dealing with a world like this End this Is the end Is the End this is the end Is the End this Is the end Is the End this Is the end Is... Jonestown.

Grape flavor-aid
Forty-four, the minutes tick down to mass ****** (some may say suicide) Twenty minutes in the children start screaming A voice begging mothers to force feed poison down the throats of their young A woman stands up, to fight for her rights to be shoved down by angry souls "Your life means nothing without his." Hatred is spewed in her face And as I listen, my heart breaks These people all sought for peace and rest only to think that death was the answer the only true release Ten minutes left and chaos erupts Children line up for a drink, encourages and kept still A weak understanding of where to go next Silent tears streaming as mama closes her eyes Forty four minutes, and silence is heard 909 souls gone on to wander looking for something better and, god, I hope they found their peace.

Death Tape
✰ Study Jonestown. Study the microcosm: same old socialist tyrant on the loudspeaker: revolutionary compound, demon king enthroned in his pavilion; feudal lord having his way with all his nubile daughters; the inner circle with the automatic weapons. Jim Jones was a star. no Little Richard, he . . . no wannabe white nights of James Browns . . . away with your Elvises your Supremes . . .   lightweight crooners all: mere Marilyn Mansons. But Reverend Jones played the REAL funk, the TRUE soul music. There is earth. There is wind, and sometimes fire. But Jonestown, LIVEthat was a show, brothers and sisters. When Reverend Jones was at the mike it was serious as hell. (Father knows best.) ★ same old lies / same old poison spiritual wickedness / lost souls recycled for hell communes / community / communism (*heard all this **** before*): strident calls for Social Justice / the Social Gospel / Socialist Delusion Father knows how it ends. Drink up, brothers and sisters: it's closing time.

Sects and Drugs and
A man stands behind a podium and microphone, words comes through speakers of static. His lips propel the stagnate tone, standing poised, confident and charismatic. He holds conviction through his behavior, his speech are the people's gospel. He is the way, the truth, their savior, a modern day philosophical apostle. Beneath the facade is a rotten marrow plate, a poison tongue with a malevolent purpose. Trepidation is a weapon that he demonstrates, revealed under the scratched surface. A wolf that don's a sheep's skin, who has found a herd to operate. His malefic influence is about to begin, a crowd he will manipulate. Kool-Aid is the key to the golden gates, he said it is the only way out. Tip the cup, take a sip, have a taste, expel all your fear and doubt.
