Endure my Fate

Nothing comes for free
Conflict is my plea
Shattered my spirit
Pain has no limit
Endure
Suffer
Life is futility
Nurture hate
Forge tranquility
Refuse
Persist
Prevail
I will always remain
Refuse
Persist
Prevail
I will always remain
Nowhere left to fall
Smashed my face against the wall
No place for me
Bag packed to flee
Rising fury
I’m my own jury
Run this road before
Fighting my own war
I’ll go down swinging
Refuse
Persist
Prevail
I will always remain
Refuse
Persist
Prevail
I will always remain
You’ll not not not not
Hear me
You’ll not not not see me down
Urgh
New dawn
New story
I will not be you
Refuse
Persist
Prevail
I will always remain
Refuse
Persist
Prevail
I will always remain
I refuse this path
Set out for me
Persist
Throughout the agony
Life will take its toll
Backed against the wall
Prevail
I will always remain
Refuse
Persist
Prevail
You will not bring me down
Don’t fall for the pipers cue
Live life for you

Demi-God
04:14
|

|
Ritual teaching pure submission
Pulpit preaching words to obey
Reciting creeds hypnotised
Blind devotion victimise
Father son and the wretched ghost
Hear me
Pay penance to the ungodly hoax
Bow down to the maker infect (hail messiah)
The word of God (hail messiah)
You violate God’s church God sends you down (send us your toll and thy soul)
Ancient tones help pave the way
All kept safe and locked away
Simple speaker healing hands
The flock must do as he demands
Pay the ransom to the pastor
Will keep you safe ever after
If you can’t pay they’ll send you away
Repent your sins another day
Father son and the wretched ghost
Hear me
Pay penance to the ungodly hoax
Bow down to the maker infect (hail messiah)
The word of God (hail messiah)
You violate God’s church God sends you down (send us your toll and thy soul)
Coerced from birth born in the font
With the father I’ll not want
His mansion dwarfs the house of God
This savior is our Demi-God
Father son and the wretched ghost
Hear me
Pay penance to the ungodly hoax
Bow down to the maker infect (hail messiah)
The word of God (hail messiah)
You violate God’s church God sends you down (send us your toll and thy soul)
Bow down

The darkness draws me in
Seduction
Golden promises
Easy money bound with strings
Everyday they drink my soul
Your daemonic eyes dark as coal
I’ve lost my way
Into the undertow
My head down low
Into the earth
I suffocate and drown
I’ve lost my soul
Fuck You
Fuck You
Exploiting
Every pound of flesh
The devil
Detests all of me
Battered and bruised for all to use
Eyes open I’m tormented
In a darkened drug fuelled haze
I’ve lost my way
Into the undertow
My head down low
Into the earth
I suffocate and drown
I’ve lost my soul
Fuck you
I retreat into my shell
I’m so fucking numb
So numb
Urgh
Just leave me alone
Let me rot in my world
Leave me to rot
Rot
I can’t see
Past the devil's grasp
In my darkest hour
My guardian is revealed to me
Their wings comfort and set me free
I’ve lost my way
Into the undertow
My head down low
Into the earth
I suffocate and drown
I’ve lost my soul

Hate Within
04:44
|
|||
|
My conflicted mind is failing
Breaking down deconstructed
Dead skin forms my prison
Each thought a drop of poison
I can’t go on
The thought of it just
Corrodes my soul
Corrodes my soul
Thoughts may betray
Colours of the day
Torment builds unforgiving
Numb to all the living
The world fading away
In a spectrum of grey
Spectrum of grey
Thoughts may betray
Colours of the day
I can’t go on
The thought of it
Corrodes my soul
Thoughts may betray
Colours of the day
I feel
Lost inside of what I thought I could be
Facing death is all I can see
Can I detox from myself
Loose my broken skin
Can I detox from myself
Loose my broken skin to set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Free

Mark of the Whale
04:45
|

|
Manipulated by media
Conjuring a fate to live and die
Hypnotised through flickering signs
Following corrupting our inner core
The dark deceives the brightest minds
Deprived of life through social lies
Fallen for The mark of the whale
A journey to their betrayal
Searching for true meaning
Fifty tasks light the way
Apoplectic no salvation
Sorrowful souls scorn the day
The dark deceives the brightest minds
Deprived of life through social lies
Fallen for The mark of the whale
A journey to their betrayal
Follow me for I am hell
Descend to me
The dark deceives the brightest minds
Deprived of life through social lies
Fallen for The mark of the whale,
A journey To their betrayal
Follow me for I am hell
Descend to me

I will not take it
Your silver forked tongue
Won’t help you
I will have you strung
We’re broken
We’re aching
Fucking tired of piss taking
And you’re duping
You’re preying
So deceiving
Not truthful
Not loyal
Peddling snake oil
Your existence
I despise
All fucking lies
Betrayed
Deceived
Filth walk this earth
The facts
Laid bare
Will prove your worth
You’re heinous loathsome
Totally insufferable
Inside I wretch
Portraying the dream
Whilst fleecing the sheep
Taking what we reap
Like a bottomless pit
Morals in the gutter
Your a charlatan
You rancid fuck
We’re broken
We’re aching
Fucking tired of piss taking
And you’re duping
You’re preying
So deceiving
Not truthful
Not loyal
Peddling snake oil
Your existence
I despise
All Fucking lies
Betrayed
Deceived
Filth walk this earth
The facts
Laid bare
Will prove your worth
I still won’t take it
Your fleece in tatters
We’ll wrap you up
And we’ll watch you burn
We’re broken
We’re aching
Fucking tired of piss taking
And you’re duping
You’re preying
So deceiving
Not truthful
Not loyal
Peddling snake oil
Your existence
I despise
All Fucking lies
Betrayed
Deceived
Filth walk this earth
The facts
Laid bare
Will prove your worth
Go suck yourself off
Fuck you cunt

Suffer
04:16

The clock has stopped the doom awaits hold your breath and see
The talks are closed the seeds are sowed now you will suffer me
Blood stained bones are broken fast
All that remains of a shallow past
Master of lies once stalked this earth
Plundering for all its worth
Doomsday
I’m wretched
Doomsday
I’m raging
Doomsday
I can endure no more
The choice to face the path I take affects my sanity
The fight I’ve known the taste of bone will it suffer me
Teeth an’ blood an’ bone and death
Eradicate all with poisoned breath
Will my soul have the strength to fly
Will the guilt follow me until I die
Doomsday
I’m wretched
Doomsday
I’m raging
Doomsday
I can endure no more
Doomsday
Wretched
Doomsday
Raging
Doomsday
I can endure no more
Shed a tear
The dead will rise
Dead heart beats
To light the eyes

At What Cost?
03:56
|

At what cost
Victims of judgment
Playing life’s lottery
The cold outside of pain
Condemn the sane
Denied
Barred reprise
Stare torment in the eyes
Slaves within
To pay your every whim
What cost
Is too high
Let us die
Where does decency end
What cost
Is too high
Let us die
The cost of human life
Disdain in vain
No way to force change
Exclaim our pain
Void of compassion
Reject all blame
Blind in your world of deceit
Oppress distress
Feast on our rotting corpse
What cost
Is too high
Let us die
Where does decency end
What cost
Is too high
Let us die
The cost of human life
Fractured from birth
Retract the rules
Rewrite the mandate
Break down the state
What cost
Is too high
Let us die
Where does decency end
What cost
Is too high
Let us die
The cost of human life

You’re a cancer a counterfeit master
Click’s develop ever faster
The lies and hate just dominate
Control the dynamics of the state
Breaking systems canceling culture
Speech curtailed rancid structure
Exploit the stats blur the lines
Control the rhetoric of the times
You can’t take take take a word back
Ink encrypted
You’ll bind bind bind your life back
Infinite black
Distort the truth more hooks on the line
Corrupting the new neural grape vine
The deception plague surrounds us
Dictating our moral compass
Click here
Promises to be quiet
Click here
Insight to riot
Bias confirmed drip feed the nation
Failing union is the correlation
What’s the view from your ivory tower
When all that matters is absolute power
You can’t take take take a word back
Ink encrypted
You’ll bind bind bind your life back
Infinite black
Lies ensure your demise

State of Deceit UK
State of Deceit was created from a desire to play heavy music, call out the bullsh*t they see around them and create some body slamming action in the pits. As Musipedia Of Metal commented 'Although still in their infancy, Retribution is an EP of such massive stature that you could easily be forgiven for thinking that State Of Deceit were entering their second decade as a band.' ... more
