Lords of Chaos Lyrics

The blameless are succumbing
To the ravages of warfare
Built upon capitol and greed
The lords of corruption leave their people
To rot in the gore-riddened streets of chaos
Education, employment and health, all stolen
From the hands that deteriorate at the flesh
The slaving clench their fists
Pleading and praying for a redesigned future
As they reach the brink of renouncement
Dreading to open the mouth
And spill the words of loathing
For with this tongue will only bring execution
Hundreds upon thousands
All damned at the dawning of life,
All damned at the opening day of birth.

The manufactured gods detach these withered bodies
And sell the land to the highest bidder
Of the corporate elite
With death comes revenue, piles of profit and wealth
All generated in blood.

The blameless are succumbing
To the ravages of warfare
Built upon capitol and greed
The lords of corruption leave their people
To rot in the gore-riddened streets of chaos
Education, employment and health,
All stolen from the hands that deteriorate at the flesh
The slaving clench their fists pleading and praying
For a redesigned future as
They reach the brink of renouncement
Hundreds upon thousands
All damned at the dawning of life,
All damned at the opening day of birth
Hundreds upon thousands
All damned at the dawning of life,
All damned at the opening day of birth
Hundreds upon thousands
All damned at the dawning of life,
All damned at the opening day of birth
The manufactured gods
Detach these withered bodies
And sell the land to the
Highest bidder of the corporate elite
With death comes revenue,
Piles of profit and wealth
All generated in blood
Piles of profit and wealth
All generated in blood
Piles of profit
All generated in blood.

Job for a Cowboy is an American death metal/deathcore band from Glendale, Arizona. Formed in 2003, the band's debut album Genesis was released in 2007, peaking at No. 54 on the US Billboard 200 and selling 13,000 copies in its first week of release. The second album, 2009's Ruination, sold 10,600 copies in the United States in its first week to debut at position No. 42 on the Billboard 200 chart. The band comprises vocalist Jonny Davy, guitarists Tony Sannicandro and Al Glassman, bassist Nick Schendzielos, and drummer Jon "The Charn" Rice, with Davy being the only remaining founding member.
The band has played in international music festivals, including Download Festival, Mayhem Festival and Wacken Open Air.

Job for a Cowboy started as a deathcore group, and evolved into a predominantly death metal sound with their full-length debut Genesis. They have been described by The New York Times as "an Arizona band with a guttural, brute-force sound descended (indirectly) from hardcore punk" and "straightforwardly brutal act" by Rolling Stone magazine.

At the beginning of 2011, the band started work on an EP which was recorded in February at the Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida with producer Jason Suecof. Just before the recording process began, bassist Brent Riggs and guitarist Bobby Thompson departed from the band and were replaced by Nick Schendzielos of Cephalic Carnage and Tony Sannicandro, respectively. On April 13, 2011, a video appeared on the internet of drummer Jon Rice performing a new song in the studio. Job for a Cowboy issued their new EP on June 7, 2011, entitled Gloom, which was only made available for purchase through mail order and digital download.

On February 21, 2012, Job for a Cowboy released their first single from their new album Demonocracy, titled “Nourishment Through Bloodshed”. It was released via Metal Blade Records' YouTube channel. On March 20, Job for a Cowboy premiered the song "Black Discharge”" and on April 2, the song "Imperium Wolves”". Demonocracy is set to be released on April 10, 2012.
