Lyrics Battle Ready - Otep

Battle Ready

Simple souls overload as i explode data banks
Cuz the earth & space gave birth to this paleface
Supreme -- linguistic -- mental machine
My 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
Out beyond the edges in the depths of spirit land
Its authentic, apocalyptic destroyer
Damaging challengers -- resurrection, disorder
A monument of crisis — i strikes this — your dead
Line my nest with your soul -- cleansed in bloodshed
BATTLE READY!
Poets gonna take control
BATTLE READY
Souls violate parole
BATTLE READY
Violently invade your home
-- breaking the bones
OF THOSE WHO POSE
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 slayed facts
Formulating flows in revolutionary science
Its the catastrophic prophet from the anarchist alliance
Freaking techniques -- this creature of speech
We feel the fury of devastation cuz we 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
BATTLE READY!
BATTLE READY
-- breaking the bones
OF THOSE WHO POSE
BATTLE READY!
Poets gonna take control
BATTLE READY
Souls violate parole
BATTLE READY
Violently invade your home
-- breaking the bones
OF THOSE WHO POSE
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 know -- bones will be exposed from the force that i unload
Its 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 -- thru your veins it courses
More lyrical artillery than the armed forces
Supernatural -- styles be volatile
Its the mind manipulator -- the WAR CHILD
BATTLE READY!
Poets gonna take control
BATTLE READY
Souls violate parole
BATTLE READY
Violently invade your home
-- breaking the bones
OF THOSE WHO POSE
COME!
SHADOW SOLDIERS!
We came to defy — living life as a lie
We embryonic satellites need our freedom to fly
TO WATCH YOU 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!!!
BATTLE READY!
BATTLE READY
BATTLE READY
-- breaking the bones
OF THOSE WHO POSE
BATTLE READY!
Poets gonna take control
BATTLE READY
Souls violate parole
BATTLE READY
Violently invade your home
-- breaking the bones
OF THOSE WHO POSE
MY SPECIES!
MY SPECIES!
NO SURRENDER!
NO SURRENDER!
