ATAVISTIC Music: Hoglan Lyrics: Hoglan *LYRICS:* Looking back at the primitive ways Take a step in reverse Find solace in remembering the bloody days We brought the curse The methods fanatic, the violence traumatic Fed the urge to kill Severe in our tactics, the measures were drastic Imposed our will Upon those who opposed us Felt the savagery of our approach Pure aggression is what drove us Our supremacy above reproach Creating brand new nightmares The old guard fled in terror Advancing strain The primal urge to reign This trait to dominate Is Atavistic And thus eliminate The weaker line The seed regenerates It's Atavistic Our need: annihilate Intrinsic behavior the human design The superiority of what we brought Primacy was our right As the world began to understand the lessons taught Cleansing through spite To crush the generic our hymns were barbaric Bloodlust the thrill With growing elation unleashed devastation Dreams were fulfilled Laid waste to all conventions Collapsed structures falling everywhere The emergence of insurgence The poles that shifted, leaving no one spared The old simplistic system Deposed gave way to bedlam Nothing remained Succession was ingrained The trait to dominate Is Atavistic And thus eliminate The weaker line The seed regenerates It's Atavistic Our need: annihilate Intrinsic behavior the human design Solo: Eric Solo: Laura The trait to dominate Is Atavistic And thus eliminate The weaker line The seed regenerates It's Atavistic Our need: annihilate Intrinsic behavior the human design --------------------------------------- Produced & Engineered By Rob Shallcross, Mixed By Mike Fraser, Mastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound, Recorded and Mixed at The Armoury Studios Vancouver BC Canada.
