Possession Lyrics

spirits, spirits
come, come

sing to me my muses
lost in hot cyclops anarchy
possession
invention
blood, blood
spirits, spirits
sprits, spirits
come, come
where will these visions lead?
how far dare i go?
where will this song take me?
into the deep unknown

spirits, spirits
come, come

all the prophets and the gods came prepared for this
so we dined on the vine of the mind in pairs
preaching werewolf prayers on our nightly flight
gestating all we ate in the pale moonlight
feel the urge of the power surge -- ignite the soul
bringing kingdoms under siege with the words that i control
got an arsenal, ganja blunts and such
only love can set me free from this Patriarchal clutch
speaking testaments in our secret dialogue
while the drones begin to feast on the feces of the hog
take a walk in the wilderness of your mind
before your soul decides to die and leaves infinity behind

possession, invention
invite discovery
surrender to pleasure
lost in ecstasy
survive
alive... you are my enemy
you die for lies, slaves to misery

down on the battleground laying waste to competition
i'm collecting intellects and exhaling solar systems
i decree mutiny
it's revolution US against the patriarchy
the assembler of souls, full of knowledge untold
while i'm spinning webs of wisdom prophecies unfold
into attack mode to decipher the code
of Babylon's terror spawn - tyranny reloads
into the mental stasis - apathy erases
urgency of rage and it's fightening little places
prepare for warfare
the afterbirth of knowledge is america's nightmare
yeah

possession, invention
invite discovery
surrender to pleasure
lost in ecstasy
survive
alive, you are my enemy
you die for lies, slave to misery

sometimes i sit and ask myself what have i become?
what have i become?
what... have i become?
what... have i become?
what... have i become?
what have i become?
something's taking over me
something's taking over me
something's taking over me
something's taking over me

paint your face with the blood of the weak
self sacrifice everyone you meet
scream at demons in my veins
voices of the dead nurturing my pain
i survive, i'm alive
i spread the fever to watch you burn
killed your leaders to help you learn
i survive, i'm alive {lie}

Otep is a nu metal band formed in 2000 in Los Angeles, California by Otep Shamaya. The band originally formed as a four-piece nu metal band and were invited to play Ozzfest before they had even signed to a label after Sharon Osbourne witnessed a brief part of their live performance. They've since played Ozzfest several times.

Otep have since released six full-length albums featuring many session musicians including Greg Wells, Joey Jordison of Slipknot, Koichi Fukuda of Static-X, Emilie Autumn, Tony Campos of Soulfly and Asesino (ex-Static-X), and Ulrich Wild. Their first three albums, Sevas Tra, House of Secrets, and The Ascension, were released on Capitol Records. However, after the label's merging with Virgin Records, Otep, along with many other bands, were released from their contracts with Capitol in 2007. Two years later, Otep signed with Victory Records and released their fourth album, Smash the Control Machine, which included a reunion with former members Mark "Moke" Bistany on drums and Rob Patterson on guitar. The album also featured Koichi Fukuda on piano and Emilie Autumn on violin.

Atavist was the first album not to feature longtime bassist Jason "eViL J" McGuire who left the band on September 30, 2010, the personnel consisted of session musicians Rani Sharone, Gil Sharone, Tony Campos, Collyn McCoy, Ulrich Wild, and Markus Estrada. On the tour supporting the album, her band consisted of support musicians courtesy of the supporting band and labelmates on the tour, Destrophy. The band is now mainly Otep Shamaya.

In 2011, Otep toured as a supporting act along with Earth Crisis for Cavalera Conspiracy. She also wrote and released a new book of poems titled "New Word Order" in December 2011.

In 2013, Otep released her sixth studio album titled Hydra on January 22 through Victory Records. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
