    As PSYCHOTIC POETRY's songwriter & vocalist, I appreciate your considering to support this band & album. The Draconian Code is mostly a wild, fast, profane thrash album, but a lot of heart & pain went into writing it, as you'll see in a couple of the tracks: The lockdowns of 2020 killed my businesses and left me in debt, sleepless and having to leave my home. I eventually took all that rage, angst, and sorrow and created Psychotic Poetry. The spite-born "The Draconian Code" became my passion-project.and first album. I'm thankful that the legendary Rich Gray, from Annihilator, was eager to play bass on it, and I found an excellent guitarist in Boris. If this album earns back its expenses, then the next album will be released very soon, and I'll hope to release an abum every year from now until I'm in the ground. If there is one thing the government can't take away from me, its my creativity and love for thrash metal.

    We hope you'll find this digital download to be moshworthy, raw, brave and worthy of a million listens.

Knew Normal 01:33
Our lives are never really ours, They’re only ours for now And it feels like there can be no grey When the rain’s not coming down They say good times create weak men And weak men create hard times. The Normalcy Bias tells us That everything will all be fine And then… Like a punch in the face Came the greatest lie ever forced on us The scared vs the strong The Haves and the Have Nots Whether you followed orders…. & if you’re essential or not Did you fight through the smokescreen? Or did you lay down and die? Did you hit the floor when they told you to drop? It was one big PsyOp The world’s greatest lie

Treated like we’re nothing, pissed away like trash In lockstep, our lives were dismissed Forced house arrest, we're just prisoners To an “authority” that doesn’t exist Now the Truth got diffused What they’re selling as “news” Is propaganda that controls everything And now the only points of view That ever make it to you Are the ones that serve who's pulling the strings Never cared about the weak Never cared that it was wrong Never cared about the truth I'm never gonna play along In our darkest hour The criminals have the power On this long and winding road Of draconian code Your rights don’t change when people get scared But the sheep are all in fuckin’ denial Fear-mongering is forced down our throats each day By these so-called “elite” pedophiles Well, they’re gonna have to live with my autonomy And my intelligent, dissenting opinion My unapproved FACTS Are going on the attack To poke some holes into this fucking dominion Never cared about the weak Never cared that it was wrong Never cared about the truth I'm never gonna play along In our darkest hour The criminals have the power On this long and winding road Of draconian code In our darkest hour The criminals have the power On this long and winding road On this long and winding road of draconian code (HATE) The draconian code (HATE) The draconian code The draconian code The draconian code (HATE) The draconian code (HATE) The draconian code The draconian code Armed StormTroopers are at our front doors As “conspiracy theory” becomes real Our ancestors would have been shooting now Instead of waiting for their wounds to heal Tons of fake data slowly getting exposed The pieces all becoming so clear And then its textbook “problem, reaction, solution” As they rebuild their campaign of fear Never cared about the weak Never cared that it was wrong Never cared about the truth I'm never gonna play along In our darkest hour The criminals have the power On this long and winding road Of draconian code In our darkest hour The criminals have the power On this long and winding road On this long and winding road of draconian code (HATE) The draconian code (HATE) The draconian code The draconian code The draconian code (HATE) The draconian code (HATE) The draconian code The draconian code In our darkest hour..... The criminals have the power

We’re told to hide To lay down and die To give up everything That we’re living for This is the time It’s all on the line This isn’t your battle.... But this is my war Mentally, I prepare It’s coming, I swear People complying That don’t understand Doors locked shut Debt building up We're forced to comply with Their every demand Hit me once again ‘Cause I’ve got more It's not your battle This is my WAR Hit me if you can ‘Cause I’ll take more Its not your battle This is my WAR! Under a spell, They put us through hell Forced to go bankrupt & painted as liars We fought to the bone And suffered alone I guess the “new normal” Is buildings on fire No, we are not seeking A fuckin’ Nazi King Who lies through his teeth While he begs for your trust Just look behind ya: 'Cause now, we're China The war's at your door And the army is us! The stories were true What they did to you We always knew some way, that this day would come Its conspiracy, But its not theory We gave in too much, now the damage is done Think of the world you knew Then look all around you Good luck trying to silence or cancel me You’re just a programmed tool And a mindless fool Who is on the wrong side of history

You thought you knew the truth until You dove into it deep And looked beyond the lies Controlling all the sheep We’ve lived ignorantly Now we’re paying the price Because that is not the “news” It’s a mind-control device I see the truth behind This fallacy They’re executing plans for a new reality The “News”, a propaganda meme, They’re all lies that go unseen If you want to know the truth, you’ll find The ghost in the machine is the fucking Invisible Enemy Is the phantom thief you never see It steals their minds, Controls their dreams That’s the invisible enemy It's all around us, but goes unseen It’s the controlling ghost behind each regime You think you’re winning, you think you’re free That’s the invisible enemy WE ALL SEE The invisible enemy WE ALL SEE The invisible enemy From voter fraud denial To calling everything racist Hypnotized, they can’t see What’s in front of their faces This deep state agenda seeks To re-write existence They’re pushing for a Great Reset We’ll give them Great Resistance They LIE like they always do Deceiving a nation Shaming us, The truth is relabeled “misinformation” Politicians cook the books They’re all on the take Your “experts” are all Communists And all your News is fake Because the…. Invisible Enemy Is the phantom thief you never see It steals their minds Controls their dreams That’s the invisible enemy It's all around us, but goes unseen It’s the controlling ghost behind each regime You think you’re winning, you think you’re free That’s the invisible enemy WE ALL SEE The invisible enemy WE ALL SEE The invisible enemy WE ALL SEE The invisible enemy WE ALL SEE The invisible enemy

I've tried to understand Order followers are out of hand Weak-willed, they don't belong Order following makes them feel strong Brainwashed & mind-controlled Order followers do what they're told But when they hear the truth Order Followers come after you Born with delusion & a need to scream About their insecurities and fake vaccines Weak internally, they love the rules When they're faking righteousness, they feel so cool These were fake statistics, it was all a fraud But they think the corporate press is a fucking God "My body, my choice", they will chant and shout But when they wanna force vaxx you, I guess that's out I've tried to understand Order Followers are out of hand Weak-willed, they don't belong Order following makes them feel strong Brainwashed & mind-controlled Order Followers do what they're told But when they hear the truth Order Followers come after you It's been so much bullshit that they put us through Tell me to stop living? Who the fuck are you? A fear porn dictatorship from some Libtard 'Cause tyranny gets Order Followers hard And the insane lies on MS-NBC Own their little minds, but means shit to me Each day, more bullshit to comprehend As they follow every mandate until the end I've tried to understand Order followers are out of hand Weak-willed, they don't belong Order following makes them feel strong Brainwashed & mind-controlled Order Followers do what they're told But when they hear the truth Order Followers come after you They've had no hard lessons, never became men They're just like little tattling children With their sick obsession, and their mass hypnosis They fill their voids with bizarre psychosis We were censored, silenced, told what we can't do Those who you can't criticize DROOL over you Karen's still screaming as she follows herd Because the truth never mattered to these Order Followers You fucking pussies!

We let this bullshit go too far, it’s time to stand and fight We can’t cave into pressure or giving up our rights It’s obvious what’s happening, just look at all the signs Devious and scheming, the Nazis come to mind They try to change the way we think, they do it in our sleep Subconscious mind gets warped in time, just look at all the sheep Mimmicking like puppets, proud NOT to use their minds As they’re moving all the goal posts and they’re fucking up our lives I’ll die on this hill as I draw my last breath I’ll die on this hill and I’ll smile back at death The only way to do this is to grab it by the balls Stand up for our freedoms and break down all the walls Building all my disdain, worsen my distrust They say it’s for our safety, while their laws are killing us I’ll die on this hill as I draw my last breath I’ll die on this hill and I’ll smile back at death I’ll die on this hill You WON’T break my will I’ll stand strong until I die on this hill Our livelihoods are gone, and the police are in position But they are only other men; we don’t need their permission I defy your lockdowns & I know my fuckin’ rights Come at me and you are in for the fight of your fuckin’ life I’ll die on this hill as I draw my last breath I’ll die on this hill and I’ll smile back at death I’ll die on this hill You WON’T break my will I’ll stand strong until I die on this hill On this hill, I fight And on this hill, I’m right

Look what a criminal you have become Your words are tyranny & oppression Public opinion is your only stance You swing your dick to the devil’s dance You’ll never know it, but my deviance Is the right response to obedience From the start, the numbers rigged I don’t take orders from a guinea pig Just remember what I said Before the devil knows you’re dead Just remember what I said Before the devil knows you’re dead Millions are out of work & suffering Your fake protection cost them everything But you’re too comfortable to hear them scream Just keep your bullshit out of my bloodstream Face the fact: You are controlled You believe everything you’re sold Lockstep, it’s all in sync No, it’s not dangerous to *think* Just remember what I said Before the devil knows you’re dead Just remember what I said Before the devil knows you’re dead A simple mind can’t comprehend What we’ve been through There’s a special place in hell For weak men like you (who just) HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE Just remember what I said Before the devil knows you’re dead Just remember what I said Before the devil knows you’re dead Every day is another scam Another raping from Uncle Sam Tech is not medicinal You’re just a fuckin’ criminal Just remember what I said Before the devil knows you’re dead Just remember what I said Before the devil knows you’re dead Just remember what I said Before the devil knows you’re dead Just remember what I said Before the devil knows you’re dead Comply your way out of tyranny That won’t subside Your tombstone should read, “Lived like a slave until he died” He lived like a slave until he died HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE Just remember what I said Before the devil knows you’re dead Just remember what I said Before the devil knows you’re dead Just remember what I said Just remember what I said Just remember what I said Just remember what I said Just remember what I said Just remember what I said Just remember what I said Just remember what I said The Devil knows The Devil knows The Devil knows what you said

They’re overseeing us Yet, we put them in charge And they’re just laughing now, While we tear ourselves apart I can’t understand What the weak have come to How they still believe What we used to think we knew It’s time to turn back the tide But you’re hiding inside The machine takes your soul That’s how they keep control In this age Of cowards and lies Just look Beyond the disguise Pushed away Broken and scarred Trust no one Just know who you are Now my stomach turns To where I can’t even eat And I just lay in bed But I won’t fall asleep Every day just makes The future more bleak We’re just killing time While the noose is tightening Cross the final line When your heart says its time Will we get back again? I guess it’s all up to them And as the door locks shut behind you, you will see We’ve lost everything we had here, you and me Every move just takes away another right This will never end if we don’t stand... Stand and fight In this age Of cowards and lies Just look Beyond the disguise Pushed away Broken and scarred Trust no one Just know who you are In this age Of cowards and lies Just look Beyond the disguise Pushed away Broken and scarred Trust no one. Trust no one.

The calm became the storm And everything between The deceptions & the pain, The needless suffering This will not end well Nor should it ever be The blood of tyrants will Refresh the tree of liberty Not afraid Disobey Hear me calling All alone A heart of stone Never crawling If that's the side you choose, Then you can only lose ITS CLEAR, THAT WE WERE NEVER ALL IN THIS… TOGETHER You bought into this game Of police state, tight controls Drained of all we were They just power-grabbed your souls They manipulate the weak And grew strong with their sadness As this PsyOp completes Our descent into madness When this war comes down And I've put you in the ground Your dying eyes will see You were on the wrong side of history Weak men create hard times Hard times... And tyranny Weak men who stand for nothing Are on the wrong side of history The wrong side of history The wrong side of history The wrong side of history The wrong side... The wrong side The wrong side of history The wrong side of history The wrong side of history The wrong side of history The calm became the storm We've lost control somehow To march along in line Is our new normal now
