Run for your lives, You will not survive.

The world’s a colosseum, And people want the pain, Throw us to the lions, Are you not entertained? Cheers for the bloodlust, And boos for the love, Arms reaching out for, Fire from above, You won’t be happy ’til you see us bleed, We can’t change what you believe, I am the enemy, I am what the world made me, I am the enemy, I’ll be your witch, your evil bitch, The freaks are filled with sickness, An incurable disease, The crowd beys for blood, So bring them to their knees, Lungs scream out anthems, As bombs and bullets fly, I’ll grab you by the face and… Kiss this world good-bye, We’re bastard sons and daughters, And we’re lambs to the slaughter, You won’t be happy ’til you see us bleed, We can’t change what you believe, I am the enemy, I am what the world made me, I am the enemy, I’ll be your witch, your evil bitch, You need someone to blame, You’re perfect, it’s the world that’s insane, So now it’s us and them, It’s all tribal and it’s how it will end, Here we go again, You say it’s us versus them, I am the enemy, I am what the world made me, I am the enemy, I’ll be your witch, your evil bitch,

Villain 03:50
You don’t want a love song, So this is about war, You don’t want the good guy, You want the villain, When the bombs start falling we sing, When the bombs start falling we sing, Wet dreams of a world on fire, There’s no peace for humanity, We go fists first to kill ‘em all, Can’t love without hate in your heart, So find someone to blame, If we’re not fighting someone, We’re not living, When the bombs start falling we sing, When the bombs start falling we sing, Wet dreams of a world on fire, There’s no peace for humanity, We go fists first to kill ‘em all, There is a darkness in the heart of every man, And it’s eating us alive, There’s not much love in the world, Sympathies and bleeding hearts don’t matter much, Repeat, repeat, History repeats, Repeat, repeat, We always forget in time, You want the villain, Villain, You want the villain, Villain,

It's a Sin 04:39
When I look back upon my life it's always with a sense of shame I've always been the one to blame For everything I long to do no matter when or where or who has one thing in common too It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin It's a sin Everything I've ever done Everything I ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to It's a sin At school they taught me how to be so pure in thought and word and deed They didn't quite succeed For everything I long to do no matter when or where or who has one thing in common too It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin It's a sin Everything I've ever done Everything I ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to It's a sin Father forgive me I tried not to do it Turned over a new leaf then tore right through it Whatever you taught me I didn't believe it Father you fought me 'cause I didn't care and I still don't understand It's a sin Everything I've ever done Everything I ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to I It's a sin

I see the world in electric blue, Tuned in, turned on to you, A pretty whore staring out of my screen, With a philosophy reduced to an internet meme, No Gods to save the lost, Machines are cold and we are hostile, When it’s digital the flesh means less, Smile at the camera and get undressed, Now it’s the A.D.D. generation, The disconnected zombie nation, Adulation is your addiction, Come to me I’ve got your prescription, Shout and scream, But still we don’t see, You got the need to be “someone” But you can’t shine under this sun, You want the fame but you get none, Young, dumb and full of cum, You want it all, no matter what it takes, Principals disintegrate in to click bait, This cynical world takes its toll, I’ll save your wayward soul, Like a high definition anti-Jesus, Generation lost, I know your every weakness, Shout and scream, But still we don’t see, You got the need to be “someone” But you can’t shine under this sun, You want the fame but you get none, Young, dumb and full of cum, You’re so much better than me, But it’s meaningless if nobody sees, You’re shouting into the void, The sound of egos getting destroyed, Yeah, narcissistic, baby, You’re eyes are screaming “save me” We are the lost, We are the lost, We are, we are, Sex is not enough, Drugs are not enough, Love is not enough, God is not enough, We are the lost, We are the lost, We are, we are, Sex is not enough, Drugs are not enough, Love is not enough, God is not enough,

I don’t know if I can let it go, I don’t know if I can let it go, I don’t know if my fear shows, I don’t know, Your next breath is one less, The clock’s ticking and the reaper’s watching, All I know for sure is my death, Every success succumbs to this stress, Alone, There’s a place without pleasure, all alone, A lonely…. Death, It’s death, A universal test that none can best, Count down the days, One more roll of the dice, Snake eyes would be no surprise, We dance to the game of chance, The ugly, the pretty, it’s all just fifty fifty, Alone, There’s a place without pleasure, all alone, A lonely…. Death, It’s death, A universal test that none can best, Count down, Count down the days, Morbid fascination draws us,

Bad Taste 06:28
Suffer the little children, The more you resist, the more this will hurt them… I am for sale, And going beyond the pale, Nothing nice to say, But I’ll say it anyway, Did I cross the line? Well that suits me fine, Everything is sick, When you’re full of shit, Bad taste, It’s depraved, It is depraved, Fear the wrath of a fork tongue, Spit laced with venom, Run for your lives, You will not survive, This space is unsafe,, I’ll keep pushing ’til something breaks, (Can’t turn back now,) Will you complain if I say it again? Oh no! You play my game ‘cos you’re all the same, Oh yes! Bad taste, It’s depraved, It is depraved, You can’t censor reality, You cannot stop me, Run for your lives, You will not survive, This space is unsafe,, I’ll keep pushing ’til something breaks, (Can’t turn back now,) Does it make you sick? So what? You can’t do anything about it. Bad taste, So what? You can’t do anything about it, Will you complain if I say it again? Oh no! You play my game ‘cos you’re all the same, Oh yes! Fuck you, You can’t stop this, Bad taste, It’s depraved, It is depraved, You can’t say the things you want to say, You can’t think the thoughts that stray, You can’t see the things in front of you, You can’t feel the way you do, Bad taste, Politically incorrect, So wrong it makes you wet, Bad taste, I’m the bullet, you’re the trigger, Whoever lives will be the winner, Bad taste.

Hush 04:59
Hush... Hush... Don't say a word, Someone may hear. And down all your dreams, The silence of fear, Lock the box, Keep your words inside, Eat the key, Swallow your pride, Unease, can't speak as we please, Freeze, just don't forget to breathe, Seized, the heart tightly squeezed, Pleas ignored as lungs wheeze, "Hush. Don't say a word. If you do speak, softly. Hush" Always a lonely child, Don't say much, Such a gentle soul, With a timid touch, Dumb not deaf, The world's too loud, Push it away, Don't add to the sound, Unease, can't speak as we please, Freeze, just don't forget to breathe, Seized, the heart tightly squeezed, Pleas ignored as lungs wheeze, "Hush. Don't say a word. If you do speak, softly. Hush" Inhale, Exhale, "Hush. Don't say a word. If you do speak, softly. Hush"

Celebrations in zombie nation, And here’s the soundtrack to being on your back, It’s a new age, a new page, What we’ve made will echo through the decades, Moving forward to the sound of heresy We write our legacy, They break and come undone, Cos we shine like the sun, They can’t take it away, All you’ve seen and all you’ve done, This is the new age, This is the new age, Come and give praise! Come to mother, human pollution, It’s the age of Devolution, One shot, a shot in the dark, It hits, tears apart, …. It’s the age of Devolution, Something’s gotta give, but we never break, Cos we always do whatever it takes, Follow it through and stay true to you, We sing ‘Don’t stop doing what you do!’ Give them a ticket to bedlam, And a kiss laced with venom, They break and come undone, Cos we shine like the sun, They can’t take it away, All you’ve seen and all you’ve done, We’ll leave footprints in the sand, To show where we’ve been, Touched the world with our left hand, Leave a fingerprint to bee seen, This is the new age, This is the new age, Come and give praise! Come to mother, human pollution, It’s the age of Devolution, One shot, a shot in the dark, It hits, tears apart, …. It’s the age of Devolution, Come to mother, we’re here for you, It’s okay, don’t look away, You all sing with me, Give yourselves I’ll set you free, You all sing with me, Give yourselves I’ll set you free, We smile as the world falls down, And God dies, Inverted upside down, And we rise, It’s the age of devolution,

See a shooting star, Make a wish, Don’t say, Don’t tell, See a broken dream, Soaked in piss, Don’t say, Don’t tell, For every action, There’s consequences, For my reaction, There’s consequences, When the butterfly flaps its wings, The effects surprise, Storm winds sing, Telling lies and feigning surprise, We transgress but we’re no actress, And when the day comes when we must pay the price, Tears won’t suffice, The truth can truth hurt our fragile egos, We run away to face it another day, And when the day comes when we must pay the price, Tears won’t suffice, There’s consequences, There’s consequences, There’s consequences, There’s consequences,

about

The fifth album by alternative artist, Mr. Strange.

The Second Testament is a direct follow-up to 2015's 'Electric Pornography' album and features a similar electro-industrial sound. The subject matter, however, leans more toward venomous social commentary this time around.
