Fear to speak out Fear to spell out what you think Fear the transcend mediocrity Fear endless possibilities Fear to slip away Fear to do what you want Fear to wear what you are Fear to swim against the stream Fear to think outside the box Fear to admit detachment Fear to admit defeat Fear to show how you feel Fear is poison making the real unreal Fear to admit you’re right Fear to admit you’re wrong Fear to go to sleep at night Fear to ball you knuckles until their white Fear to put up a fight Fear of big decisions Fear of indecisions Fear to go all the way Fear the stay Fear the wink Fear the sink Fear to think Uptown Downtown Suburbia Fear begets Fear

The Hurdle 03:11
Life is so Marginally so Things a such Limited to such Chained to such If you smile more You will be happy more Maybe so Still you feel So so Please drag me down For I love you too deeply Please drag me down For I want you too much There’s so much red tape Before I can reach you Should I scream? Or make a fuss A life so such A life so, so and so Where to go? Where to go? Please drag me down For I desire you so deeply Please drag me down For I want you so much I want to escape Escape The such And such Before I reach The so and so My mind Will go

Time takes us apart Bit by bit Bolt by bolt Screw by screw The severed wires Used to connect us How can we still claim to be flesh? When we are hardly living In the natural world? There are separate voids For every mechanical man There are separate clocks For every mechanical woman The dull blade tries to cut Through ailing meat Its failing can be heard All across the world The bile is the least of our worries The green haze will come And swallow us all The trappings of the netherworld Don’t be lulled to sleep Even the faceless Have faces Most believe they will go down In a blaze of glory To wake up Machine again After the death Of trust Time sends in the rust After the death Of trust Time sends in the rust

Intravenous Hard pipe hitters Snorting holy men Synthetic popes Designer ingesting hallow walkers White trash bangers Suburban clean shaved lords Cater to the fluent clientele Converge in groups Erratically looming alone To feel the rush Shooting up the spine Cravings are a goldmine Cravings fill the ether Flowers come here to die Life is weighing in ounces Ounces are the weight of death It’s recreational you know The market never dies There’s always an endless fresh supply Of bare naked souls Looking for a fix
5.
There’s a war on our senses A war on reality It comes gift wrapped With a nice bow They promised you You would be free If you helped destroy the sanctity of the body’s Integrity Then we got divided In two You’re now a leper To be avoided And so are you Only feeling solitude When reaching out The simplest desires These days Are the hardest To fulfil Uphill To reach Another hill They claim the sky Is green When your eyes See it’s clearly blue Deception Drilled into your head But that’s nothing new What ever happened To I do me So you do you? You can address it until your lungs Are filled with water The ones who want you to address It will never be satisfied Even long after you’ve Drowned Awake my child The tyrants are pining For gulac Cheering For a divided society Massaging us Into submission Sending their Their mindless drones After us For they fear us We live in their dreams We live in their fears When true freedom Is near

Mystic Land 02:58
This mystic land I walk mystic land This is mystic land I want to walk Mystic land Mystic land I claim this soul to be I turn the dangerous key I'm not allowed to scream I'm not allowed to dream The warnings were laid out Long before the floods came The harvest was poor Long before the locusts came The dead were walking Long before the plague came Aren’t you tired Of being enslaved By the nanny-state? Aren’t you tired Of the 24/7 fearporn Leaving you Tattered and torn? In these absurd times There’s nothing better to do Than to be with the ones Who truly care about you Only when you stand On the ashes of your so called utopia Will you understand Reality always back-slaps you They only own you When you allow them To own you My soul is mine My time here on Earth Is mine This mystic land I walk mystic land
7.
Wrong World 03:22
Just got back from a place Filled with neon lights The street I walked were filled With blight We watch the screens And we’re rendered useless Every free thinker Shoved to the back of the bus They tell you You can’t sit In the driver's seat They tell you To share this message With everyone You meet They want you to bathe In tubs of misery They want you to grind Until you’re left With broken teeth Keep watching the screen And feel useless Debauched and debased Until you left With a broken soul And bruised face Cut and dry They say the science Is settled Yet undymaniac Stationary science Is a lie The lies mount up Until they reach the sky You either cut lose Or your soul will die Best to ignore the deceptions Sit it out There’s time enough Their souls are dead now Let embarrassment die with them

Die This Way 08:00
It’s hard to believe in people Who no longer believe in themselves Society is sick But the doctor is not allowed to come Bleak is the now now Now is the bleak Gleeful in the destruction Of the own home That stretches out beyond the door Over the land And back again I saw The twilight gleaming And the mad ones wanting to destroy it By throwing ashes in its path Masking its wake I saw Red teachers destroy the inquisitive Young mind Preying on basic human instincts Of wanting to belong To be part of something They don’t want you to be free Or have your own thoughts But as mindless drones Part of the hive Reguterating Reguterating Reguterating Reguterating I saw The ones speaking out against The madness Slapped down back again Or get the bullet Those who are spinning this divisive social depravity Sure don’t want it to end I saw The disease of short term thinking getting the better of us While our adversaries clearly play to long Term game They are serious We are fluff I saw Reason turned to dust Vultures landing on fact’s burned and blackened crust We witnessed the death Of trust I saw The black day begin The lamb being brought in The pale horse ridden until its hooves Were bloody stumps The slaughtering of its young I saw A mainstream media Lie and lie The culprits wondered why They are so distrusted And despised Yet still they lie on And in and on I saw Our institutions trashed and our IP’s destroyed By deconstructionists Who are unable to create anything Worthwhile themselves Like a swarm of locust Filled while bile and gangrene They prey on the gifts to humanity True giants created with their souls and bare hands I saw Election integrity destroyed While the vote counters Smile their sardonic Smiles I saw Leaders work against the interest of the nation state While they dream of some grand Utopia Its ashes and debris Our children will dance upon I saw Little dictators Push and push Until the people broke I saw The sinisterly weeding out Of the compliant and the non-compliant Desecrating the sacred right of one’s own body I saw Moral Turn into brutal orthodoxy The oppressor fighters Perfectly being oppressors themselves I saw The buying into bad theatre The virtue signalling Until death followed I saw People being divided and judged solely On the bases on immutable characteristic Flying into the face of the dream of King I saw Weakness and gratitude celebrated And strength and work ethics being Looked down upon I saw The destruction of the nuclear family And the sons and daughters Wandering aimlessly I saw The ones preaching diversity the loudest Turn out the be the most nasty Segregationists What was wrong then Is still wrong now I saw The woke walk around Brain dead asleep at the wheel Yet they want you to kneel At their altar of divisiveness I saw People so brainwashed They didn’t know anymore The difference between the lock And the door Fallen for propaganda Submerged in propaganda I saw The total disregard of the sanctity Of the right of one’s body The my body my choice Turned into the modern leper I saw Censorship depriving needed honest voices Of oxygen in free societies Billionaires who left reality A long time ago depriving us from information we need to Survive and grow Silencing dissent And smuggly lying about it In hall of deception Hubris before the fall It’s hard to find sanity and rationality In this late drenched town Bleak is the now Now is the bleak What cause do you want me to care about This week? Well you might think I’m off my rockers Or you simply might not like What I have to say But believe me You don’t want to die this way So don’t die this way Don’t die this way Die this way This way Way

about

Altar Beatz and Laser 3.14 “Die This Way”

Die This Way is our latest album and is one that we worked on for a while. Some of the tracks were created in the Covid era while others were written years before but fitted the project. Altar Beatz created the music that fits on the poems of Laser 3.14 perfectly. As always we work very smoothly and take our time to produce the songs. Altar sends a new song, on which Laser writes or finds, records and edits an existing poem that fits to the music. We really like this process. It feels very old-school punk DIY style since we record everything at home in a very basic makeshift way.

This album deals with disillusionment, discomfort and discontentment but also is about the hope to find a way out of this predicament we are in and trying to figure out why the world is in the state it is now. We know it doesn’t have to be this way and that when humanity gets its act together we can achieve great things. We don’t have to die this way.
