OTEP
"Battle Ready"
(R. Patterson / Otep Shamaya)

Simple souls overload as I explode data banks
'Cause the earth and 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
It's the catastrophic prophet from the anarchist alliance

Freaking techniques - this creature of speech
We feel the fury of devastation 'cause 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

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

It's 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 and got the keys to unlock

A holy war - through your veins it courses
More lyrical artillery than the armed forces

Supernatural - styles be volatile
It's the mind manipulator - the WAR CHILD

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!

My species!
No surrender!
