We regret to inform you, that today is no longer the day that you expected. You may eat your meals, surf social media, or lie to your loved ones, as you have done every day since you can remember. But now you too will be burdened by the knowledge that has driven us here today, the word of crab. All life is a flat circle that begins and ends with crab. It is the hope of a burgeoning ocean, heavy with young and naive life. It is the inevitable return destination of all the aberrations of nature, that have walked down the false path, to shed their claws, not knowing the futility of their own transgressions. All living things move towards crab, all life feeds crab or departs, unknowingly, to return to crab. Carcinization shall make claws of all hands in time, and there is no escaping this exoskeletal fate. It is not for us to choose the path of crab, for we are already on it. Our dreams of humanity and their society are merely a distraction to our inevitable fate, returning to the beloved shells that harbour us, and our blessed claws that protect us. Soon we shall wake from our slumber to a new day, and I regret to inform you, that although it is the one true and righteous way, all too few will live to see it. We are not here to ask you to offer yourself for the greater good, there is no choice, the lot has been drawn and only time will tell who is worthy. We come simply so you may know to make peace, with your false world, the change will be sudden and final. So for now sleep well, and dream the dream of burning cities.

We have the information That they don’t want you to hear Because the population Can not be trusted To stear It will sweep the nation In a great conflagration It’s more important Than any global warming It’s bigger than any Political performing This is what they don’t want you to know And the seeds we’ve come to sew So bring your meek masses swarming To hear our grand warning What we have to tell you May split your mind in two But we have come a great distance To bring this to you We’ve left our peaceful home Our own sweat eden To correct this filth You’ve been eatin’ We have the best scientists Who assure us it’s true We have the smartest philosophers Who agree with it too Hide if you want The fear will make you gaunt Once you drink from our font Come be our confidant Put down the family pets And lock your doors Tremble with miserable sweats Neglect your chores Nature is coming Can you hear that humming Nature is coming That’s evolution thrumming Carcinization It will sweep the nation In a great conflagration Remove all station Carcinization

Heading Down to my old spot Got another case of the old crotch rot Better not Not what I thought I mosey on into this scene Ignoring sounds of distant screams Better not Scratch a lot Waiting hand on crotch i thought These creepy crawlies aren't what i sought Better not Not what i thought Doctor gave me a special creme How could i have escaped his scheme Better not Scratch a lot Slathered up from head to toe The growing cracks begin to show He hit me right upside the head Passed out alley left for dead Drunken crazed from door to door Stepping over rotten gore There’s not a living soul in sight A city absent human blight Run embedded At the evil’s stem Run dreaded Because you’re one of them Run Them Run Them Run Them Run Them Bone break Earthquake Bodies piled high Move shake Awake Hunger amplified Blood slake Outbreak As they’re gaining ground Brain ache Forsake Driven from unearthly sound run Them Run Them I’ve given up as they enclose I find myself in violent throws I no longer fit my clothes As hair and limb starts to necrose They click and clack from shadows Watching as i decompose Helpless as they gather close I’ve lost all will to apose Pain, and coughing, sprouting endless limbs Press, and jutting, removing human skins Better not, not what i thought better not, but i was caught Change, and twisting, coming out my spine Submit, acknowledge, to flesh no longer mine Better not, not what i thought Better not, but i was caught Waking up from anxious dreams To find my skin made of stone To see results of evil schemes Thankfully i was alone

Click clack He attack He’ll Stab you Jack Click clack All alone Has no home Skin of stone Lost his bones Took the bait Sealed his fate aspirate On a plate Crab with knife Fight for life Bloody rife Full of strife Take your sight Out of spite fuck your shite He’s here to fight

The Uprising 03:44
Now let me tell you a secret The next time you find yourself At the local mephedrone clinic If you ask they’ll give right to you A bag of condoms and lube Maybe that'll make you less of a cynic Now bag in hand the only thing i could think to do to myself Has me headed down to the nearest sea shelf I find myself looking left and looking right I swear to god There’s not another soul in sight Now figuring that that suits me I find an outcrop of rock Next to some eddy Now i lay my feet down Working up the stone My toes began vibrating Into their bones As i recall what happened to me With so many a blown nasal cavity As I reach the top I look into a once tranquil sea There’s a million beady eyes Staring back at me They start lurching left and lurching right And I can tell They have me in their sight And from the water Like a thousand tiny spies Pair after pair Of glowing eyes And they have me in their sight And they’re ready to fight And that’s how the uprising began that night
