Words of the righteous we will not bend
The odds keep stacking up against
Strengthen our perseverance
Break down the cycle of errors past
We have to face up to the truth
Relinquish every upper roof
Every ounce of strength grasps
One solid dream
Violent soul will be whole
We have to face up to it
For every second we're alive
Let our light shine
To our grave we must pave
A path for us to rise from
Power surge kills the urge
Life and death collide
Smash all the boundaries that hold us down
Hold on to everything that loves
Let go of anything that starves
People with envy will hold us down
Freedom is just a cut away
Nothing can pass our life away
Every ounce of strength grasps
One solid dream
Violent soul will be whole
We have to face up to it
For every second of our lives
Let our lights shine
To our grave we must pave
A path for us to rise from
Power surge kills the urge
Life and death collide
Oh, we take life's ebb and flow
Testament to the things we know
With the fight we must roll
Strength will follow
Tooth and nail for the ground that we hold
Failures from the start but we still grow
Heads held high, rally for throne
Holding our own
Not just words we'll show you so
I can't remember
These doubts I must dismember
And trust in whole
What we all know
Block out all the hatred
That the world spews
Heads put to the grindstone
Yes I walk the righteous
Many men have walked before
And this pain's held
A broken shell
Straight shackled onto the floor
So welcome to the world
That i lived in
Puking up bile and hate
My world has turned
To false inclusion
Sickening broken state
But then I'll see
There's things in me
That make you want it
More than you
But I deny all this
Cause pain was my bliss
Get wasted on self destruct
Just hold on to the edge
It's all about
The blood, the sweat, the tears
Attribute to the strength
Built through the years
Yes i walk the path
That gives me
Confidence strong and pure
Now i realize
That freedom rises
From confronting the source
I built these walls around me
And I can break them all away
I'll focus all the strength I call
Into unstoppable energy
so hold on to the edge
It's all about
The blood, the sweat, the tears
Attribute to the strength
Built through the years
Hold on
I'm not falling
Not falling down again
It's all about
The blood, the sweat, the tears
Attribute to the strength
Built through the years
Believe me that
Time will sear the wound
Time will sear the wound
Time will seal the wound
Check check check check!
Ten fold, Ten fold, We grow ten fold, Ten fold, Ten fold!
We got these so-called friends,
Claiming way too hard to have all that.
When it comes down to it,
It's them who's talking the most.
They got a problem with us,
Cause we tell it how it is.
Well listen up, muthafucker's we're telling you how it is.
If you're a friend, then say good things behind
all of our backs.
I hear too many tall tales,
Gettin' told like they're all fact,
But I hear way too much info,
On half the shit that ain't even close,
Whispers
Flyin' around cause everybody's tryin' to boast.
Rumors and drama
Are all that gets told
While we just grow
Ten fold. Ten fold.
We grow ten fold.
Ten fold. Ten fold!
Oh, but you'll come to me now,
Like I ain't hearin' all your squakin'
It's your friends been tellin' me
All that shit you keep talkin'.
You won't get nadda from me,
Not a crumb,
Not a dime,
Not a ticket,
Not a pass
It's the end of your free ride...
You thought The Burning Red sucked?
Fuck you, and your bitch!
I spilled my goddamn guts,
This shit's as real as it's gonna get.
Cutting you out of my life,
So go on sing me a choir,
I wouldn't piss in your ass if your shit was on fire!
Rumors and drama
Are all that gets told
While we just grow
Ten fold. Ten fold.
We grow ten fold.
Ten fold. Ten fold!
Always the whispers are flyin' around,
And keep pouring from that hole,
That you call a mouth.
But we follow our instincts,
Don't care what gets thrown.
Ignoring the rumors,
While our powers grow...
Ten fold, Ten fold, We grow ten fold, Ten fold
We grow ten fold, Ten fold, We grow ten fold, Ten fold! Grow tenfold.
Ten fold, Ten fold, We grow ten fold, Ten fold
We're Ten Fold!
Bitterness infested,
justice is molested
Govern my contested ways
As a child arrested,
as a man detested
Happiness inside my pain
You hate my life
Because you see my strife
Could never understand or try
It makes me mad
Because it makes me sad
But I don't care why
You fake it, mistake it
Fuck it away
Your lying is trying
My dignity
I see right through your soul
Can't help but feel this cold
But this city made me so
Life filled with deception,
unwanted inception
Want redemption for it all
All my life
frustrated, pushed, alienated
Wait for me to take a fall
My faith has waned
Because I feel the strain
In my eyes it's all gone wrong
We'll rise above
From this lack of love
It won't be long now
You fake it, mistake it
Fuck it away
Your lying is trying
My dignity
I see right through your soul
Can't help but feel this cold
But this city made me so
Lead: Logan
I'm not the only one
Can't be the only one
No
Yes I hold some keys of gold
A cigarrette a silver bullet
Angels crying day and night
The world is our stage
Look inside and try and find the part of me that tore
I wish I knew what I got through Behind...
Take my hand across this land
Escape this all the hell inside
Create this man to make my stand
And break this hardened shell inside
I see the man in me
The lines along my face are drawn in
I believe reflections bleed
The sorrows of the souls
Let me know the hurt that shows
And wish it all away
Cos now you'll see all this pain in me collide...
Take my hand across this land
Escape this all the hell inside
Create this man to make my stand
And break this hardened shell in...
I see the walls around me fall around me
And everything's alright
I see the god amoung me fall amoung me
And everything's beside
I see the walls around you, tie and bound you
Drown cos you're so cold.. Cold.. Cold..
Take my hand across this land
Escape this all the hell inside
Create this man to make my stand
And Break this hardened shell inside
So take my hand and cross this land
And Break this hardned shell in, hardened shell in, hardened shell inside...
Why was I born?
Sometimes I wish I didn't know
Been times when
I wish that I had just never been
Why did you have me?
Or better yet why'd you leave?
So to the parents who could fuck
But then abandoned me
I'll give to this world what you couldn't give
Love the unwanted, every child born discarded
Add to the flock
The rejects you dumped on
I'll never forget
Life you disdain
So to the parents that bore me this pain
From all those things you left unfinished(2X)
You never could love me
I'm glad that you never did
My parents that raised me
Had plenty of that to give
And for that
I'll love them forever with all my heart
But to you
Don't let there be no mistake about it
Fuck you, you cocksucker
Fuck you, you whore
I'll live my life the opposite of what you are
Love will be my rock
The rock that I stand on
I'll never forget
Life you disdain
So to the parents that bore me this pain
From all those things you left unfinished(2X)
Don't try to reach out to me
Don't try to call
The boy that you created
Is dead for all you fucking know
You just pretend you've never heard or seen
The name Lawrence Mathew Cardine
I'll never forget
Life you disdain
So to the parents that bore me this pain
From all those things you left unfinished(2X)
I never ask myself why injustice befell me
Accepted of the fact, try and live a life of peace
I'm not a violent man, but to those who'd threaten me
My enemy, for my family I'll show thee
Death I will fight you to
Wrath provoked you cannot bear
Our lives are not your toys
Mercy, not a drop to spare
You of destruction
Of hope's deconstruction
Kills
Innocence is lost when
The blood of innocents
Spills
I'm not a violent man, again I wish to repeat
But for every human that takes away a child's innocence
Whether it by molest, or by all wars pointlessness
Killer of life
Corruptor of all that is pure
I want your nose to break
Shattered under clenched fist
Smash face to concrete
Taste the asphalt's gentle kiss
You of destruction
Of hope's deconstruction
Kills
Innocence is lost when
The blood of innocents
Spills
To those that are to blame
Destroyers of every dream
Breaking of hatred's wings
Mars' phoenix begins fading
To those that monger war
Claiming that this is to even scores
This mantra I invoke
No longer this fear will
I choke
There's no peace for the one who can't know peace
Your every breath it only lives to take
Someday the earth you will descend
Not a regret I'll harbor in
Tearless my eyes
Flowerless my hands
And that day when your moment is fleeting
That thought keeps my heart beating
When they lower your casket down
Bitter the sweet within my mouth
Ender of life
Corruptor of all that's pure
On Your Grave
I Will Stand
Can't match the stare within these eyes
Do you have the strength for all your lies
Can't stand the pain with which i see
This integrity is what i breathe
I inhale this life i gave to you
And exhale the vile
Time will tell Because my friend and
Never will I concede the end
Cause catarac resin fills my eyes
Never gonna see the man Through your fake lies
Tell me the things that'll take time
To help see the things That'll take this
Burn inside of me
Can't feel the sting from words gone by
Can't keep the papers filled with lies
Ten fold, this confidence I breed
Created back the words I see
I'll inhale this gift I gave to you
And exhale the vile
Kill this fire with gasoline
Convictions I spit, my faith obscene
Heretic Jackals worship liars
Forever I'll be the god that you desire
Tell me the things that'll take time
To help see the things that'll take this
And hold onto things that'll make my
To make me the thing that breaks this
Burn inside of me
Time will tell because my friend and
Never will I concede the end
Heretic Jackals worship liars
Forever I'll be the god that you desire
Tell me the things that'll take time
To help see the things that'll take this
And hold onto things that'll make my
To make me the thing that breaks this Burn inside of me
Burn inside of me, Burn inside of me, Burn inside of me
I will see your rise and fall
I will be your rise and fall
I will make your rise and fall
I'll create your rise and fall
And I will be your
Got bored with me because I'm
Born with conviction
From a pain you'll never ever understand understand
Never forget what I said cause you ain't half of me
I'll tear down and break anything that stands in front of me
I'm taking down what the fuck is ever in my way
So get away
I will see your rise and fall
I will be your rise and fall
I will make your rise and fall
I'll create your rise and fall
And I will be your
But for me I'll forgive despite your actions
Cos you never ever ever act on what you said
That you said
Give it to me, let it be,
But you're the one who quit
You said it yourself, I'm the best
and you can handle it
The cry, watch how Machine Head takes it all, it all
And i feel for you
Cos your eyes they whore
And I think I hurt
Cos of something more than
You see I'm falling
All apart
Cos your eyes they
Decide your heart
Rise and fall
And I will make the walls fall
And I will make the walls fall
And I will make the walls fall
And I will make the walls fall
Down.. Down.. Fall down.. Fall down..
I will see you rise and fall
I will be you rise and fall
I will make you rise and fall
I'll create your rise and fall
And I will be your
1 2 fuck this place up.
We turn desire to fire electric spark to the wire
highered the stakes when we brought this monster
life prevail by daring to fail others content just to sail
hail the future we bring
we bring chaos to blocks like riots to watts blow up spots
taking the crown off the top notch
create the pace that you all will follow
sporadic flow buckles up like a calico
We D O smoke sensmilla vodka and C-O-K-E is the real deal
you flubber, never had to suffer
life's gettin harder and it's only getting rougher
save some for me cant stop what were going to be
Chorus: walk with me and take this seed a fire for you so dare to fail will you
when my pen hits pad it results in catastrophe
words and verbs come to form a disaster
if you want it, you got it never hit I spot it
now come and watch me rise
all the tools, that blew more money than Latrell
you tell, I don't know you think I know you too well you fell
and stumbled laughin as you tumbled
I guess you forgot about the power we rock
coz "ALL HAIL THE" Machine Head battery
the good, the bad, the ugly
damaging your battery yeah you been fucked stuck in a rut
your life has been sucked your tail has been tucked
save some for me can't stop what were going to be
just watch as as i demonstrate the reason we dominate
chorus
If we stand alone and believe it all and you tell me it's all I believe in
yes we stand alone and believe it all if you tell me it's all we believe in
because we we'll chew and spit you out
and pray upon the weaker
take what we want
chorus
You tell me, I've been walking on a railing
Been excelling at failing
That I think wrong, I don't belong
I don't fit, I don't give a shit
Take my guitar and microphone, pour out my fuckin' soul
Insecurity, I'll strip it down to the bone - fuck it
I ain't a stranger, just strange
I'll be find so leave me alone
You can't see the things that make
Your happiness go away, well I can
It's all in your head
It's in your head
Sad but it's true
It's inside you
Keep wallowing in your misery
It's all in your head
I know that I'm a weirdo and I'm messed up
And the lord knows that I've fucked up
But I don't need you to point out
Every mistake that I make
I'm sick of all your negatives, something has gotta give
Got me thinking you need to stop overthinking
Brink of losing my mind and going blind
I'll be fine, leave me alone
You can't see the things that make
Your happiness go away, well I can
It's all in your head
It's in your head
Sad but it's true
It's inside you
Keep wallowing in your misery
It's all in your head
Why can't you see it's you
It's just inside of you
You can't see the things that make
Your happiness go away, well I can
Honestly you're driving me insane, again
Because it's all in your head
It's in your head
Sad but it's true
It's inside you
Someday you'll see who you're unhappy
Someday you'll see that it's not me
It's all in your head
What is a man that stays true to the game
But has to cheat a little to get by
Well that's a person that I know too well
Don't want to know but I don't have to ask why
Everyone like a loaded gun
You want some shit. I'll fuckin' pound you, son
Don't need a reason, pain I'm feelin'
I gotta vent or else I blow inside
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times
Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails the power to survive
What s a man that stays true to the game
But can't believe some of the things he sees
Anger's a gift and I won't be kept down
In poverty there is no democracy
Used needle and a crack vile
A broken bottle and a bullet shell
This urban life is so volatile
An inner city or a concrete hell
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times
Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails the power to survive
What is a man don't stay true to the game
Don't care for no one, only cares for his greed
He's playin' God killin' thousands of people
'Cause the power is the fix that he needs
Racist goal of the white devil
I watched our soul burnin' over oil
A politician got no feelin'
It makes my motherfuckin' cold blood boil
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times
Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails the power to survive
And I watched
through bitter eyes
As the blood filled
in the cracks, black
A burning effigy
Told me I should
kneel 'cause
I'm worshipping
With terror, a disease
Bum the sacred oil
Chorus:
They told us
there'd never come a day
They told us that
we need not worry
So we fucked around, thought
this shit would change
And turned our eyes away
I am the power siege
And the rush you
will feel, thrill
Exploding out of me
Through clenched
teeth I will scream out
We're suffering
With malice you deceive
Puke sold as salvation
They told us
there'd never come a day
They told us that
we need not worry
So we fucked around, thought
this shit would change
And turned our eyes away
Lead: Logan
And I watched it slip away
And you watched it slip away
And we watched it slip away
'Cause no one took a stand
Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
There's no one here but me
More loneliness than any man could bare
Rescue me before I fall into despair
I send an SOS to
I send an SOS to
I hope that someone gets my...
I hope that someone gets my...
I hope that someone gets my...
Message in a bottle... Message in a bottle...
A year has been since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep us together yeah
Love can mend your life but love can break your heart
I send an SOS to
I send an SOS to
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle Message in a bottle
I'm sending out an SOS...
I see the sun begin to rise
And I'm wounded I've seen the world from painted eyes
That I'm crying through I watch the darkness hit the tides
And confide in... Hold On
I'm falling
Can't breathe anymore
The ocean has opened
These scars need to heal
Caress the needle prick in my eye
The tears fell like rain
I've rode the phoenix as she glides
And I've gone insane I've seen the light of suicide
And I'm dying Hold on,
I'm falling
Can't breathe anymore
And the Ocean has opened
These Scars need to heal
Hold on I'm falling, can't reach... reach...
Colder and colder Just hold onto me
You stabbed me in the back over a sliver
A feeling I have been betrayed
Both hands broken together
Clenching fists cause the rage
It comes in spades
From a life of pain
I don't care 'cause I don't give a fuck
It tears a path right through me
A systematic vision of survival
A struggle I alone engage
Tension burning inside me
Blood so sweet cause revenge
It comes in spades
From a life of pain
I don't care 'cause I don't give a fuck
It tears a path right through me
Revenge is mine
Suffering divine
Fractures break through bone
Frustration won't let go
Filled with lead and
dumped into the river
And buried in a shallow grave
Both hands broken together
Clenching fists cause the rage
It comes in spades
From a life of pain
I don't care 'cause I don't give a fuck
It tears a path right through me
Ask me how it feels
To feel like you're a failure
When everything that's real
Burns the flame in anger
I've heard it all before
I've felt some pain and more
More than you could ever dream
More than it probably seems
I've sat with head in hand
Stressed by my demands
Stomach tied in knots
Alone I've sat and rot
'Cause the pain from all these fears
Has built up all these years
I'll wipe away the tears
Wipe away the tears
Don't give in
Don't give up
Walk the streets dejected
Alone and left rejected
Time does not care
And sometimes life ain't fair
My head begins to pound
Smashing bottles on the ground
I have lived amongst the garbage
With those who rape and carnage
Had many a promise broken
And broken some myself
The promise I have kept alive
Is keep my inner wealth
With my heart aimed at the world
Destiny I watch unfurl
I'll wipe away the tears
Wipe away the tears
Don't give in
Don't give up
Opportunities
Wasting life away
Choked upon its dust
Puked out in disgust
Let me tell you how it feels
To feel like you're a failure
Been climbing out this gutter
For what seems like it's forever
But one thing I must make clear
The struggle of these years
Has made every scar the stronger
My lust for life the longer
I will fight for what I love
And I will fight for those I care
I will fight at anytime
And I will fight anywhere
With my heart aimed at this world
Destiny I watch unfurl
I'll wipe away the tears
Wipe away the tears
Don't give in
Don't give up
Give me power to end all of the strife
Courage to kill the pro-life
I don't want to see
You can't change me
You tell me not to bow
Just follow for now
You're oh so holier than thou
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more - things change
The more - they stay - the same
Give me patience
to deal with all the strain
Balance to take the
fuckin' pain
I don't want to fake
And I won't break
We're too happy to be
In our apathy
We smile single
file to the line
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more things change
The more they stay the same
The more - things change
The more - they stay - the same
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
We gotta wake up
You don't know you're right
Your right from wrong
We gotta wake up
I am the thing that makes you sick
I am the blame that gets placed quick
Detect the crack within your lie (your lie)
I'll be the wrath of your disdain
I'll be the fear in you engrained
Become the facts that you deny (deny)
I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass you'll shatter
With bloody fists I'll batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son
1'll be the trembling in your breath
Trickle of blood upon your flesh
You'd love to watch me take the fall - FALL!
I'll be the thing that you despise
'Cause I'm the path to your demise
And I'm a be there standing tall - TALL!
I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass you'll shatter
With bloody fists I'll batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son
I can't stand or take another day my friend
You could learn a thing or two
I can't stand or take another day my friend
You could learn a thing or two
I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass you'll shatter
With bloody fists I'll batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son
I want you to know this
I want you to know just what I feel
You told me through sacred lies
I told you once with bloodshot eyes
You told me don't ask
Just stay away from me
You told me it'd be alright
I told you once, then told you twice
You can't face
Can't you face me
Chorus:
I won't pray for you
I can't pray for you
Because you took it away
Because you took it from me
First verse
Chorus
Thought I could never ever fuckin'
find another
Get a muthafuckin' chance again
Because the power
is the rage that can devour
Gotta make that fear descend
Without it, you ain't shit
And you ain't shit to me
Berating, a scathing
Grave indignity
I see the look
inside your eyes
It makes me sick
Defiling innocence
Is how you get
your kicks
You violate, and
then you think
yourself a man
You violate, and
then you call
yourself a man
Don't come my
way
Don't care what
you say
Pray you fuckin'
die
Before you feel
Rage...
This world does not want me
This world does not care
And I'm a product of this world
Confused. I'd say that's fair
This pain will never leave me
It's scarred upon my brain
Destroying everything that brought this
Just to keep me, just to keep me sane
A hatred burns inside me
Emotions out of hard
But I've the will to focus this
Survive, contrive, command
From pain comes a courage
The strength from injustice
The rage to overcome it all
An open mind
With a closed fist
And I watched
through bitter eyes
As the blood filled
in the cracks, black
A burning effigy
Told me I should
kneel 'cause
I'm worshipping
With terror, a disease
Bum the sacred oil
Chorus:
They told us

They told us that

So we fucked around, thought

Exploding out of me
Through clenched

Puke sold as salvation

They told us that

Lead: Logan
And I watched it slip away
And you watched it slip away
And we watched it slip away
'Cause no one took a stand
It's been around for a thousand years
And it'll be here for plenty more
It is the face hidden in disgrace
That has become now an open sore
It is a false messiah
It is the face of pain
The bringer of the bittersweet
The heretic insane
Take my scars
Through hands of God
I found a better way
To break the walls
Fed all the lies and desensitized
Taught to believe that it is the way
Taught to divide and exactly why
You'll never understand my rage
You've never had to borrow
You've never had to steal
You eat it with your silver spoon
For me it's real
Take my scars
Through hands of God
I found a better way
To break the walls
Lead: Robb
Blood and concrete
Piss and wine
Whores that fuck
To feel divine
They'll clean their needles
In their shrine
In ignorance
It's bliss you find
Why can't you
fuckin' open
Open up your eyes
(Instrumental)
I am the man that defends all things profane
6000 years is the time that I shall reign
And with a grin drank the blood of holy swine
Impurity made the blood turn into wine
Old man, dead hand
If only in their insanity
The lie feeds off their greed
Jesus wept
I am the pain that feeds off your weakness
A sickening born of hate not of the blessed
And with that time I will crush all things they prey
Destroying all from the known to the arcane
Old man, dead hand
If only in their insanity
The lie feeds off their greed
Jesus wept
Bun my eyes and try to blind me
Bury me so they won't find me
Try to suck my power empty
Got no crown of thorns on me
So burn my eyes and try to blind
Bury me so they won't find
Try to suck my power dry
You got no crown of thorns on me
Old man, dead hand
If only in their insanity
The lie feeds off their greed
Jesus wept
Withered away I see it
Every day complacent
Desecrates the fabric of lies
Emptiness fills inside me
Bitterness has denied me
Faith like this well
Could I really give a shit
When I feel it
Come falling
I turn you away
I am the things that you fear
My leap of faith without a sound
Don't push my back against the wall
Yes I have strength will never fall will never
Withered inside
This soul has petrified
As concrete fills the skies
This life is disarray
Consequence every action
Brings violence from the passions
Loneliness the emotion withering inside
When I feel it
Come falling
I turn you away
I am the things that you fear
My leap of faith without a sound
Don't push my back against the wall
Yes I have strength will never fall
I feel around the fall is on
For so long I've been away..away
For years to now been holdin' on
For so long I've been away.. away
I have nothing left for nobody else
I have nothing left for nobody
Feel it
Come falling
I turn you away
I am the things that you fear
My leap of faith without a sound
Don't push my back against the wall
Yes I have strength will never fall
I am only nothing, I am only this
I am just a man with there two fists
You have asked forgiveness
You have asked respect
Only something that you did forget
All you gave you had planned to take
Beat upon me but I won't break
Stripping everything from me ? No !
Will to me your anger, will to me your rage
Will to me your lies, your sufferings
Not a man of virtue, not even a man
Will not take the hate dealt from your hands
Years of pain I will take and hone
Manifest with your broken bones
My heart bleeds for none but my own
My own
Burn
Burn
I am only nothing, I am only this
I am just a man with these two fists
You're not a man of virtue, not even a man
Will not take the hate dealt from your hands
Years of pain I will take and hone
Manifest with your broken bones
My heart bleeds for none but my own
My own
Burn
Burn
My heart bleeds for none but my own
Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
[Message in a bottle]
A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
[Message in a bottle
Oh, message in a bottle
Message in a bottle]
Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion casatways
Looking for a home
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
[Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle]
Sending out an SOS...
Go 1 2 3 4
Yeah Yeah You gotta
Stand tall and cut away the ties
Drop Balls and hold that head up high
The world is fast and youth aint gonna wait
So grab a hold before it gets to late
Bare your soul and strip away the cold
Of withered life thats past so gray and old
Cause all the pain that thats filled these eyes you see
Has made them bleed just recently
Tears that made me
Ashamed to be me
But that gave me
Strength to see me
Made a spark that
Lit the dark
Let me shine
Chorus:
Time to see, believe this in me
This pain that i feel deep inside
Cause its time when you come together, peel together
Better now so do it now or never
I fall sleep to freeways far from here
Spend half the night just drinking beer
From this day on shall be the words
My flesh and bones shall make it heard
Dont you test Ill have to mess with you
Do my best so fuck the rest of you
One of these days
You'll see I've always been right
Chorus
I can feel this pain is real I never wanted anything from you, you
And it makes me glad
When i see the sun
And it makes me sad
When you feel my one
And i thank my god
Got a girl like you
And i thank my god
Did you save me
Chorus
So pain told you to take her
Well I learned to accept that feeling
'Cause I found how to numb it
If only for just a short while
I'd get so high I'd forget my name
I scarred my fists. I scarred my train
I think that I'm going insane
I think that I'm going insane
So drink up, so shoot in
Why must this feeling end
I crawled in my narcotic shell
Was crucified in my own hell
A gutter's where I found myself
Among the waste I chose to well
I chose to dwell
So now I'm in your system
And I'm what helps you numb your pain
Whit time you will confide in me
So lonely my friend. I've made you lose control
You'll use me more and more with time
Our friendship grows with each mainline
So glad that you could be so blind
So glad that you could be so blind
So drink up, so shoot in
'Cause I'll make this feeling end
I built you this narcotic shell
I crucified you in your hell
Your life not yours, you're just my slave
I am your messiah of pain
And time has come to
Time has come to time has come to
There's no time to pray
'Cause I'm your God now
Be my one
Would you take my son?
Would you tell someone whether we had fun?
With your hero double zero
Gonna suck around your fearo
Then I'm never ever falling again
Would you take my grace
Look into my face
With your limp handshake
And your smile thats fake
Would you back my fight
Say you're down for life
Well its easy to say when you weren't doin' nothin
My God makes me long for a better way
You fear my strength if we're backed into a cage
Because I,
I defy
See my fate
Underestimate
I intoxicate while you emulate
With the users and the losers
Suckin' up to the abusers
And I'm never ever fallin' again
For the tricks you play
All the fronts you claim
And you just cant fake
The respect I make
You're a parasite
You conform on site
You're a leak and a cheat
Always weak and always will be
Maker makes me long for a better way
You fear my strength if we're backed into a cage
Because I,
I defy
So burn it apart son
I'll give it away
I'll see
Why didn't you end the pain
I can't take this
I can't fake this
I will break this
I will make this
Cause
I defy
I remember it was the month october
In a garage i was standing scared and somber
I could smell your breathing and the pain your leaving
So ashamed i'm feeling
And now i am left to fate
For all the times i'd be losing my mind
You molest and destroy just a five year old boy
And you make me suffer motherfucker
Ripped my heart out
It was so good
I remember words that never left me
For a scull of silver here's what you'd do for me
If you tell, i'll kill you
Rip the child out from you
Wish that i could stop you
Please god make this go away
For all the times I've been losing my mind
You molest and destroy just a five year old boy
And you make me suffer, mother fucker
Ripped my heart out
Innocence was lost
And i feel it
I can't take it
I don't want it
Anymore
Was only five
And i feel it
Cant take it anymore
For all the times i heard you
Say in my goddamned mind
Make it sooner if i suck you
I'd make you suffer
Make you suffer
Motherfucker
For all the times i'd be losing my mind
You molest and destroy just a five year old boy
And you make me suffer, motherfucker
Ripped my heart out..
...I was only five...
...Five...
Elegies are to be sung
Winds of Armageddon come
Ignorance within your bliss
Soon you will atone for this
In your carcinogenic haze
Baneful of a newer age
Flowers of a different scent
Poisons of the Earth's lament
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her, oh
Take another deeper breath
Inhale invisible death
Pollution fills the land and sky
Forever you justify
Take a deeper look and see
Nothing's left to future seeds
Icicles melt into blood
Ashes where there once was wood, oh
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her
Pain of life has pulled you under
Left you there to bleed and wonder
Open heart is torn asunder
Wrong the wrongs that you've been suffered
Kill we scream in roaring thunder
Destroy all, leave all things plundered
Acid rain cries her pain
Full bloom, a world gone insane
Her anger, the flower
Plays God with all of our lives
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her, oh
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her
A requiem
Earth belong not to you
(Instrumental)
Bow down to no one
Bow down to none
Straight down
Been going
Been sleepwalkin'
In a violent haze
This world
In ruin
The chain shackles
Like a foul disease
Bow down to no one
Bow down to none
This rage
This struggle
It is a feeling
That's devouring
Can't break
Can't fuckin' give
in
The pain will lead
us
Through the blistering
Cold
Bow down to no one
Bow down to none
Anticipating, salivating, intoxicating
How I've been waiting
To gently soak in
Your dream that's broken
Caress my hands
Around your throat
When I choke the last gasp of air out of you
I'll mesmerize you, hypnotize you
Paralyze you, my snake eyes blind you
My tenderest tickle, my gentlest prickle
The back of your neck
I stab icicles
My sweetest grin will pull you in
Behind that grin a razor teeth smile
Under your bed
Inside your head
I am the monster in wait
Walk, run
I'm the fear you've become
Pray, hope
Before it's your
Downfall, and all falls down
I patronize you, victimize you
My false pretenses endear me to you
I'm psychopathic, psychosomatic
Believe everything you've heard about me
Ate you alive since you were a child
That's when the monster first appeared to you
So know my name
What is my name?
My name is fear and I'm you
Walk, run
I'm the fear you've become
Pray, hope
Before it's your
Downfall, and all falls down
With faith I crawl
In sadness, I fear what I've become
'Cause after all
I'm acting, pretend my smile on
Before the fall
The pain washes over
Hold on, hold on
Survive
Survive
This
Walk, run
Free the fear you've become
Fight back
Before it's your
Downfall, and all falls down
The shades of night descend
The shades of night descend
Sitting in the empty black, last slivers of dusk have passed
Accept the dawn to ease the fear, one day I will not be here
Death she comes and with her thread upon me ties a mask for dead
Tears of blood begin to seep, bleed the sky
The shades of night descend
Descend the shades of night
Death shines a golden light
Across a blackened sky
All our hate is a product of a world we created
The shades of night descend
The shades of night descend
Ashen clouds obscure my brain, doubts begin to turn to shame
Insecureness tears at bliss, I hate me for this weakness
The faith I need to carry on and take the road less travelled on
Resentment swallowed means to drown the poison down
The shades of night descend
Descend the shades of night
Death shines a golden light
Across a blackened sky
All our hate is a product of a world we created
Scream with me, bleed with me
Seethe with me, sing with me
Scream with me, bleed with me
Seethe with me, sing with me
Free me, free me, free me
Descend
Descend the shades of night
Death shines a golden light
Across the blackened sky
The shades of night descend
The shades of night descend
The shades of night descend
The shades of night descend
Oh, thou have fathered
Son and daughter
Doth beget, yet raised not bother
Paralyzed your children lives
Withered vines of family ties
Self destruction
Makes him function
Crayons and clay
Days turn blue to gray
An' days turn blue to gray
Oh, seventeen when
Family begin'
Drinkin', fightin', heroin
Unquenchable addictions call
Responsible to none above all
Self destruction
Makes him function
Crayons and clay
An' days turn blue to gray
An' days turn blue to gray
Lest I taste
It's sweet grapes
Glass to tongue
Across it tips
Cross my lips
Swallow it down
Please
Won't you love me?
Please help me see
What did I do?
Did I hurt you?
And now that you're gone
Emptiness lives on
The guilt's all I feel
No closure
Father
Mother
Fucker
No closure
No, no, no, no
The strings of my hearts
You pulled on endlessly
This twine is severed
With tragedy
Father
Mother
Destroyer
Destroy her
Your self destruction
What made you feel alive?
Your self destruction
Well I look at justice in a different light
I been to jail, it didn't make me right
Try and conform but won't be deaf blind dumb
Been beaten down, just harder I've become
Death church rising
Hate church rising
Lost church rising
Death church rising
Hey Jesus can you help me with my pain
Mainline me some religion, keep me sane
Christ suffering upon my TV screen
Send in your money to the faith obscene
Death church rising
Hate church rising
Lost church rising
Death church rising
Strength, truth and honor. words I strive to live
Your faith's profane, it takes never gives
'Cause I'm gonna die standing upon my feet
You're gonna die grovelling on your knees
Death church rising
Hate church rising
Lost church rising
Death church rising
Blind man ask me forgiveness
I won't deny myself
Disrespect you have given
Your suffering's my wealth
I feed off pain, force fed to love it
And now I swallow whole
I'll never live in the past
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
Burn my fist to the concrete
My fear is my strength
Power, rage unbound strength
Been pounded by the streets
Cyanide blood burns down the skyline
Hatred is purity
The bullet connects at last
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
Scarred
Pour the salt in the wound
A blind man asked an angel
Could you please help
But was told
Take me from this altar
I won't falter
But I might fall
This bitter man would understand
Through all his life,
a needle had
Been his saviour,
been his God
So he tried to make a change
Tried to rearrange
Gun at his side,
suicide
I can't help feel I been mistreated
Won't you listen to me
Chorus:
Despise all that I see
All that I feel
All that I want to be
Burned, blistered and raw
Tearing apart
All that is sane to me
A wise man half pariah
Half messiah
Came to seed
Rain down blood like fire
Born to sire
Racist breed
His dominance of ignorance
Was rhetoric that made no sense
Some believed in all the lies
But in my mind I know what's wrong
Way too fucking strong
Taste the revenge on my tongue
I can't help feel I been mistreated
Won't you listen to me
Despise all that I see
All that I feel
All that I want to be
Burned, blistered and raw
Tearing apart
All that is sane to me
Lead: Logan
Lead: Robb
[spoken part]
And now is my time to rise
And now is our time to rise
Our time To rise
Ignorant, indignant
Promises made in
Vain
Rise, I can't see like you
Rise, I can't feel like you
Rise, never be like you
Rise, time for all us to
Rise...
I bite the hand 'cause this hands feeds off me
Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat
Ignorance is bliss, and respect I gave you
Friend you did claim this
Too bad you can't speak the truth
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
Beatings are what you'll inherit this time
Fist bait, your new name
Your pain is my shrine
Pulverize and break
Determination
Pleasure I negate
Your pain brings me salvation
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
I was born to tension
Anger came from frustration
I can't back down from aggression
Some hard knocks taught me this lesson
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
Hate breeds hate my eyes they have seen
The decimation of all that is pure, pure
A system that feeds their machine with
The blood, sweat and money of the poor, poor
Corruption gets rich, honesty just exists
'Cause nobody cares anymore, anymore
Fuck it all
Fuck it all
White attack black, black attack back
The fuckin' media keeps us all blind, blind
Children on crack, junkies on smack
You wanna close your eyes to hide, hide
Pollution so dense, sickening existence
New world order, new world decline, decline
Fuck it all
Fuck it all
The more intense the sense of ignorance
The more intense then is the pain
Hate breeds hate my eyes they have seen
the decimation of all that is pure, pure
A system that feeds their machine with
The blood, sweat and money of the poor, poor
Believe in something if it stops your suffering
'Cause all we have is nothing
Nothing
Fuck it all
I understand your every, fear
Your every pain your every, tear
With every struggle you conquer
Turn heart to steel
And will to iron
You want more?
You'll get it
Determined ferocious
(What?)
Grit down and bite the bullet
When dare to unbind
Smash and redefine
The hate you feel is nothin', more
Than love you feel to win this, war
This battle that rages inside you
With bloodlust
You must unchain your shackles
You want more?
You'll get it
Determined ferocious
(What?)
Grit down and bite the bullet
When dare to unbind
Smash and redefine
Lion hearts
Never give in
Unsatisfy
Every weakness
Lion hearts
Never give in
(Now)
Unsatisfy
(Fy)
Every weakness show
You want more?
You'll get it
Determined ferocious
Grit down and bite the bullet
When dare to unbind
I gotta rise, I'm sick of your lies
And I won't be your scapegoat now
Ain't gonna bend
and won't 'til the end
Understand on my word I vow
A pig, a pig, that's all you'll ever be
REFUSE TO COWER TO THE SWINE
I'm sick of it, at the end of my wits
'Cause next time that you fuck with mine
I'm gonna snap like
I never have before
Your law's the flaw
Upon this nation
Your lies despised
By generations
I got a friend might
not walk again
And your laws
never helped at all
Go fuck your clause, your
probable cause
Power trippin' above us tall
Afraid, afraid and so you better be
'Cause when I call you're not around
Serve and protect
and give some respect
Next time that you shake me down
I'm gonna snap like
I never have before
Your law's the flaw
Upon this nation
Your lies despised
By generations
Your lies despised
Your law's the flaw
Upon this nation
Upon this nation
Upon this nation
Your lies despised
By generations
Well I see, I feel
On my way
You close your eyes, scared to think
You might see
A world that spends more to kill than to cure
Living, writhing, diseased, so unpure
It hardens me, the things I see
But I won't break. it gives me strength
Our suffering. won't always be
We'll dominate. this nation on fire
The media it
Blinds out eyes
A people divided
And force fed lies
The black and white societies corrode
Warring, hating, blind, a rage explodes
So take my hand, across this land
I won't go down, stand my ground
Our suffering. won't always be
We'll dominate. this nation on fire
This nation's built on fighting war after war
And for my brothers, I will fight and stand for
'Cause I won't break. Your truth is fake
If blood ran red, you'd leave me for dead
A nation on fire
A nation on fire
You tell me peace, well I hear gunshots all night
The scars I have, I've earned 'cause I've had to fight
An endless pain, and it won't change
We just sat, and watched this world die
A nation on fire
A nation on fire
Into the battles, making cages rattle
There's a pain that's inside us and we're letting it out
Charge right in, we dare to fail
No one is giving in, always we live to win
A hunger turns and burns inside of all of us
And it will not be denied
Walking a path untraveled to reach higher level
Challenging always going against the grain
Blood for blood - that is the rule
And we will make the rules, never be fortune's fool
There's right and wrong in almost everything we do
For us we do what is right
Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall
Bulldozer crushes all
Somebody told me I should do what they told me
But there's a hole in that plan and I'm tearing it down
Trust our guts, follow our hearts
No one can break these nuts, these lips ain't kissing butts
The path of most resistance tests all of our strength
This strength will not be denied
Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall
Bulldozer crushes all
Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall
Bulldozer crushes all
Walking on paths untraveled
Challenging one and all
Deeper into the battles
Alone and standing tall
The more evolving changes
The more we stay the same
Full steam against the odds
Go headfirst against the grain
Full steam we go against the odds
Headfirst we go against the grain
Bulldozer goes against the odds
Bulldozer goes against the grain
Against the odds, against the grain
We go against the odds, against the grain
This is the bulldozer
Unleash the wolves
Carnage has no rules
Comparison, competition
We'll bury one and all, all
Look in the eyes of rage
A loyalty bred of suffering
The fire inside, it burns eternally, victory
Look in the eyes of pain
The scars on our souls forever remain
Calling the sheltered
Of the broken wing, join the fray
Bury our rivals
Shotguns, knives, rifles
A family of the unwanted
Beaten, stunted, dysfunction
A brotherhood that is of violence
And to tyrants, bow to none
Unleash the wolves
Carnage has no rules
Comparison, competition
We'll bury one and all
Look in the eyes of hate
A circle of hell, they come to pray
United against all that come threatening
Lay to waste
Look in the eyes of the free
Bound to each other's longevity
Guarding the back of Alpha's dignity, savagely
Bury our rivals
Shotguns, knives, rifles
A family of the unwanted
Beaten, stunted, dysfunction
A brotherhood that is of violence
And to tyrants, bow to none
Unleash the wolves
Carnage has no rules
Comparison, competition
We'll bury one and all
Come closer, walk with me in hell
Dear rival, fear in you I smell
A fist to face is all fair game now
The pack attacking, the sacrificial
Pray for the prayers, oh
Reaping the sour seeds of death's bread
Into and claw the scent of the dead
Come closer, walk with me in hell
A rival, fear in you I smell
A fist to face is all fair game now
The pack attacking, the sacrificial
Pray for the prayers, oh
War, that far one
Spreading our population far across the land
Loving to fornicate, respecting the command
Rally the warriors, tally the score
In every victory is solace
But there's no satisfaction
No satisfaction
There is no satisfaction
There is no satisfaction
And there never will be
Bury our rivals
Shotguns, knives, rifles
A family of the unwanted
Beaten, stunted, dysfunction
A brotherhood that is of violence
And to tyrants, bow to none
A family of the unwanted
Beaten, stunted, dysfunction
A brotherhood that is of violence
And we fail to die
Unleash the wolves
Carnage has no rules
Comparison, competition
We'll bury one and all
Unleash the wolves
Carnage has no rules now
For night will fall
The night is black
Without a moon
The air is thick and still
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torch lit hill
Features distorted in the flickering light
The faces are twisted and grotesque
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
The mob moves like demons possessed
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
Confident their ways are best
The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill
They say there are strangers who threaten us
In our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness too dangerous
In our theaters and bookstore shelves
That those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves
Quick to judge
Quick to anger
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
We are the ugly Beaten and torn
Brooding with power and ready for more
We are the hungry Sick of this world
Of robbers of thieving Of vultures unfurled
We have been left on our own
Be all the lost longing for home
We are the unwanted lives
Strung out and angry the deprived
We are the young And young at heart
The strong and the brave that are destined to start
We are the change The world needs to see
Look in our eyes and see our belief
This is who we are
This is what I am
We have nowhere else to go
Divided we will stand
Dream Into glory we will ride
Be unbridled in determination
Burn the seasons
Into glory we will ride
Be unbridled in determination
Burn the seasons
This is who we are
This is what I am
We have nowhere else to go
Divided we will stand
We are the broken Meant to be left
Damaged and headless like dolls in a chest
We are the future Seeds that you've sown
In dirt that won't ever grow turns now to stone
We have been hung out to dry
We are the drunken We are the high
We despise this human race
Look in our eyes and sell your disgrace
We are the savage Meant to be brought to justice
To be thrown in jail and left to rot
We are the other American dream
Whose characters fight for their lives
And they scream We have been left disavowed
Those of the black Not of the shroud
We won't hear religious lies
Veins are a racetrack for fuel that I need
Life on the edge is the bread which I feed
Standing alone, open for all to see
My tunnel vision for life, it drives me
Focus in closer
Releasing the fear
White - knuckle blackout, adrenaline rush
Wide-eyed and red-faces, my skin hot and flushed
The hair stands up down the backside of my neck
Blood's beginning to boil the beads of sweat
Fear has its place in the scars that I bear
Deep in the mine, behind everything shared
Fixate my sickness as long as there's air
Headstrong I'll forcibly change what was there
By focusing closer
Releasing the fear
White - knuckle blackout, adrenaline rush
Wide-eyed and red-faces, my skin hot and flushed
The hair stands up down the backside of my neck
Blood's beginning to boil
These beads of sweat I'll dry, out of my eyes
And blacken everything except the goal out
Adrenaline is my fuel when I've obstacle to climb
Adrenaline is the lubrication , focusing my mind
Adrenaline is telling me when someone's thinking they're too cool
To raise my middle fingers up and say "fuck you"
Adrenaline is fueling my mint to focus my climb
Reaction evoked at the challenge provoked out of you
Adrenaline is fire to fuel
You wanna fire my fuel?
I used to want to take a
drill to my head
Let the pain out of the hole
I used to want to cut the
veins in my neck
Cool the blood boiling my
soul
When I wondered, why my
daily headaches thundered
Tried to buffer, pushing
down the pain I suffered
Mutilated, feeling so
humiliated
Cannot wash the dirt off
underneath my skin
There was a part of me left
far behind
When at the age of five
years old
I had my innocence taken
from me
Emptiness would fill the
hole
Now a second grader,
thinking why I don't feel
better
Why I'm filthy, why the hell
I feel so guilty
When drawing stick men
of pornographic men and
women
Thinking all the time
there's something wrong
with me
Everyday for three years
from dawn 'til dusk a
migraine
would take me and break me
And it'd cripple me so
much that
In dreams, it'd seem, with
a hole in my temple
that I could probably make
my headaches finally go
away
Trephination
trephination
The enemy inside of me
won't let me free
wants me to bleed
And after three years now
my headaches wear off
For reasons not quite to
me known
The acupuncture needles
sticking my skin
Pushed them down as far
as they'd go
But now I'm older and now
inside my anger smolders
from depression, to fighting
Taking out my vengeance
Consequences, now I'd
question during sex if ...
Is this how it fucking feels
or am I faking it ?
No longer the child that
you left there at the bart
tracks
I'm now at 17, left in an
empty blackness
On drugs, with thugs, and
thinking "Goddamn ?"
I'm ending up in a failure,
in the gutter passed out
Trephination
trephination
This enemy inside of me
won't let me free
wants me to bleed
Now I'm older and in this
man an anger smolders
Now I'm thinking a hole in
you is what I'm seeing
Your depression, is the
dent I kick in you in
vengeance
Consequences are the pain
I'd give to you
I know that I'm dreaming,
but in this dream I go in
go through it, and end it
And though I'd never do it
I'm killing you, hand on
the trigger - pull it
Your final thought'll be a
bullet in your fuckin' head
Trephination
trephination
This enemy inside of me
I'm now killing
This ends now
This ends now
And I don't care about last year
Won't be afraid of what the future holds can't fear
Want not the past and the safety it brings
It doesn't mean anything
We've come too far
There's no going back now
Bring on the future with an open embrace
Memories I will erase
Memories I will erase
This is the end
This is the end of chasing dreams gone by
Ever-long is this goodbye and this
This is the end
This is the end of our respect denied
Stand with us or stand aside
Only now do you pretend to care about this
You suffocated everything that came between us
Took every condescending barb and sting
I don't owe you anything
So here we stand
Farewell is forever
And if you think that it's a joke or a lie
Look me in these blackened eyes
Look me in these blackened eyes
This is the end
This is the end of chasing dreams gone by
Ever-long is this goodbye and this
This is the end
This is the end of our respect denied
Stand with us or stand aside
Bastards you bastards
May you suffer oh so long
Bastards you bastards so long
Brothers my brothers
Why have you forsaken thee
Brothers my brothers
So be
Deny those that will never accept
Empty words are just regrets
Let go the bile that your soul has amassed
With this let die be cast
This is the end
This is the end of chasing dreams gone by
Ever-long is this goodbye and this
This is the end
This is the end of our respect denied

I am wasted and ugly
I am the underbelly
A fat fuck and fairy
The reject they wish to bury
They want to, to murder us, silence us
Divide and conquer us
As they lead, as we die
Let these three words decide
I love you
Why do I hate my father?
I hate you
Or do I hate myself?
I'm a meth head and alkie
Dumb cunt been called a junkie
A retard with a pussy
And I embrace the names you call me
They want to murder us, silence us
Divide and conquer us
As they lead, as we die
Let these three words decide
I love you
Why do I hate my brother?
I hate you
Or do I hate myself?
I'm a redneck and a faggot
The asshole in the rubbers
A wetback and a nigga
And I raise my middle fingers to those that
Murder us, silence us
Divide and conquer us
As they lead, as we die
Let these three words decide
I love you
Why do I hate my brother?
I hate you
I hate myself
Love, hate
I love you
Why do I hate my father?
I hate you
The taste of avenging blood
Suffer horror she's with stood
Disgust, the core of her soul
The crime takes a new toll, rapes the soul
Hear her pain, listen to what she'd scream
I'm gonna see you bleeding, face down in the dirt
I'm gonna give you back what, you've taken with hurt, you coward
I'm gonna spit right into you face in grace you'll be no more
This scar makes her heart stronger
Your breath makes her days longer
Life gained through your dying eyes
Revenge, life's bitter prize, feel reprise
Hear her pain and listen to what she'd scream
I'm gonna see you bleeding, face down in the dirt
I'm gonna give you back what, you've taken with hurt, you coward
I'm gonna spit right into you face in grace you'll be no more
The seasons wither away
The seasons wither away
The seasons wither away
The seasons wither away
And we pray you die
(And we pray you die)
We pray you suffocate
(Suffocate)
In pain you writhe
(In pain you writhe)
This day we celebrate
(Celebrate)
This day we celebrate
(This day we celebrate)
Desecrate
This mind and body, this heart and soul
Will not be trampled, will not crumble
You can't hurt me
(Hurt me)
Your power's control denied
And you can't rape me
(Rape me)
That moment's effect has died
You're a fucking shell that's dead in my eyes
Lie in this state
Of perdition
Never to awake
It negates
An admission
Stricken by fate
There's no salvation it dwells in your bones
There's no remission this sickness it owns
Make love to denial her sober embrace
Nails they've embedded never to release
In madness we shall reign
Down out
In madness we shall reign
Hail Mary our divine
Littered souls across a great divide
In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine
I numb it down
Heavens fleeting kiss envelops thee
It surrounds
So in vain we stab at the beast
Count the 12 times you step equal 12 times you fail
No abstination relapse tip the scale
As you swallow the hook
And you chew on the line
Choke on the sinker
In this sea of lies
In madness we shall reign
Hail Mary our divine
Littered souls across a great divide
In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine
Broke vows and broken rosaries
Bind these rusted hopeless dreams
Broke vows and broken rosaries
Bind these rusted hands in prayer
Faith trust and love are mowed down lonely
In these killing fields
Deep in the throes of addiction
Now my blood's running black
My fixation is caught in it's clutches
As the sun sets on my soul
In endless twilight
It is eclipsed
Hail Mary our divine
Littered souls across a great divide
In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine
Slowly we dance with temptation
Good intentions are sold
For the price of fool's gold and sedation
Take now this demon by it's hand
And slice it off
Hail Mary our divine
Littered souls across a great divide
In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine
Take the ache beneath my bones
Peel the skin away and leave my body exposed
Welcome in my friend
Out of the cold where it's warm
Please step in
What's your name my friend
My name's the same
What a strange coincidence
Glad you're come to this place
What's the pleasure you chase
Oh, you like playing with speed
Well I have all the answers you need
I can take you
High and make you
Invincible
I'll never leave you
Welcome in my friend
Try some of this
What you'll feel is amazing
Tap a tiny blast
In a crease of foil
Place this flame beneath it
White smoke you will inhale
A speed rush you will exhale
The goose bumps prickle your skin
Just enough to dig the hooks in
I can take you
High and make you
Invincible
But now you're hollow
You're crawling on the floor
But you'll be back for more... yeah
Hello there my friend
Back for the sweet poison so soon again
But this lie must end
I must collect for those pleasures gave
When I first told you my name
I told you ours were the same
And that's not really a lie
My real name is your addiction
I will bring you
Down and break you
Burn right through you
One more time you've
gotten into my head
I've let your words get
into me
Every time I try to talk,
you never listen
You got the answers,
I don't know a thing
But you ask me what these
lights are in my eyes
They're a freight train
ahead
And they're straight
coming your way
You've tied yourself down
to the tracks
Now you want help from me
to cut you free
If it was me
my hour of need
You'd leave me there to
bleed
I'm fucking sick of you
and all that shit you're
pulling
Your fuckin' attitude
had better go on
You cheat and you lie
and you stole and denied
And you turned on your
friends
when you burned all those
bridges
This time you won't be
getting under my skin
What you had I've taken
away
Tell me what you're gonna
do, it doesn't matter
You're always talking, it
don't mean a thing
So ask me what these
lights are in my eyes
They're a freight train
ahead
And they're straight
coming your way
You've tied yourself down
to the tracks
Now you want help from me
to cut you free
If it was me
my hour of need
You'd leave me there to
bleed
I'm fucking sick of you
and all that shit you're
pulling
Your fuckin' attitude
had better go on
You cheat and you lie
and you stole and denied
And you turned on your
friends
when you burned all those
bridges
Well you sat there and
cried
As these words came to
glide
through your delicate skin
leaving blood on these
pages
So how does it feel
to be at one with the fate I
seal
They're a freight train
ahead
And they're straight
coming your way
You've tied yourself down
to the tracks
Now you want help from
me to cut you free
If it was me
my hour of need
You'd leave me there
to bleed
I'm fucking sick of you
and all that shit you're
pulling
Your fuckin' attitude
had better go on
You cheat and you lie
and you stole and denied
And you turned on your
friends
when you burned all those
Sweet caress
Grazes my skin
It's loveless
These hooks sink in
Behind an angel's disguise
An insect preys
Mandibles cut like a knife
A reckoning
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending down
Down they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above
Converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locust
Surrender
These veins are bled
Devoured
Nothing sacred
Strings pull the marionettes
See how they dance
Upon the winds that beget
Our pestilence
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending down
Down they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above
Converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locust
Bleeding from my eyes
This plague is sent to erase us
Bleeding from inside
These vermin can't infiltrate us
Faith appears and holds a candle
Hark the angels sing
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Tear the veil
The lies derail
Purity ever will prevail
Trumpets sound
The shattered crown
Halos of truth now they surround
The charade comes down
Down they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above
Converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Love for my love, hate for my hate
Strength for my strength, pain for my pain
Pride for my pride, match it inside
Trust that I find in you
But it's hard and it's brutal, it's nasty and rude and
It's dirty and mean when they treat you like yesterday's
News
They want to keep us all down town, frowned, underground
But no one is keeping me down
Fuck no
I'll keep my head high
Cause they will always kick you when you're down
Life for my life, soul fore my soul
Truth for my truth and heart for my heart
Drive for my drive, match it inside
Fight for this fight and don't you ever never
Give up, give up - you gotta play like a master of chess
It's a long road and it's mental endurance stress test
Sometimes you fight and you win, sometimes you fight and
You lose
It's the fighter in you
Not to lose
So keep you head high
Cause they will always kick you when you're down
You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
You overcome, improve, endure
Love for my love, hate for my hate
Strength for my strength, pain for my pain
Pride for my pride, match it inside
Keep up your drive and fight to fight
Because some shit ain't right
Don't lose our sight
Get our heads right
Shine our star too bright
Nothing in life is for sure
It's just a gamble
So play it for all that it's worth
And don't forger to keep our heads high
Cause they will always kick you when you're down
They will always kick you when you're down
And don't you let their kicking get you down
You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
Hear me now
Bearing down upon a path we choose
Chosen from the start living different rules
Existence something that cherish true
Will not succumb to doubts that I hold onto
Release the fear of my pain
In so much pain give me the will to fight
Every obstacle that I have inside
Release my fear
And hear me now, words I vow
No fucking regrets
Fuck these chains, no goddamn slave
I will be different
I'll stand here defiantly, my middle finger raised
Fuck your prejudice
All my life always I've felt alone
Conditioned to believe that I'm always wrong
Only truth will help to set me free
My every weakness I must turn into strength
Every rage, every tear
Hate in so much hate never that pain will bind me
Ask of myself if I've the will to unwind
Every rage and tear
Hear me now, words I vow
No fucking regrets
Fuck these chains, no goddamn slave
I will be different
I'll stand here defiantly, my middle finger raised
Fuck your prejudice
Carved upon my stone, I will go on
Patience, belief, love will ascend
Just listen to it
Voice so true inside calling
Just take you up and march you on
Keep from falling
Let go your sorrow
Sun will shine, this I promise
Rising tomorrow
Rising
Hear me now, I'm taking back the control
Of my life from societies hold
I vow, no more will I be a slave
Rise to challenge the whole human race
I am death
Arms held outstretched
I am hell
Born this mortal shell
I am wrath
Take this bloodbath
God sent me to kill you
What started out as wonder
The smell of scorched earth
It filled me with a sense of bliss
Inside my head the noises show they thundered
With cracking and hiss
One match
Killed the anguish
One act
Left me fulfilled
Destruction now the only catalyst
To save this soul
From these thoughtless kills
Where once a heart was beating
Nothing but embers glow
Our love it serves as kindling
To stoke this flames inferno
I am hell to thee
Down here all shall suffer with me
Die purified
Rise the ashes to the sky
Obsession born of young lust
Incomprehensible the feelings as they come to pass
But now betrayal slowly turns to bloodlust
Through sulphur and gas
Ignite this crime of passion
Loves pyre is set a blaze
The charred remains of all
Compassion was the spark that lit
Your immolation
Where once a heart was beating
Nothing but embers glow
Our love it serves as kindling
To stoke this flames inferno
I am hell to thee
Down here all shall suffer with me
Die purified
Rise the ashes to the sky
So burn
I'll burn it down
I'll burn you down
So you'll never love again (again)
[Lead Flynn/Demmel, Flynn]
Where once a heart was beating
Nothing but embers glow
Our love it serves as kindling
To stoke this flames inferno
I am hell to thee
Down here all shall suffer with me
Die purified
In this the ashes of your immolation
I am Hell
This is our call to arms
Will you stand beside me?
This is our time to fight
No more compromising
And this blackened heart will sing
For sad song of charity
Halo over my demise
Following a God so blind
Shallow in their sickening
Swallow not the shit they feed, yeah
This is our right to life
Not religious right back
This is abortions knife
Aiming at the womb of
The Christian conspiracy
So open my eyes and see
The halo over my demise
Following a God so blind
Shallow in their sickening
Swallow not the shit they feed
Let's aim for
Our time will come
Our time will come
Our time is now
Our time is now
And I won't pray for you
And I won't pray for you
And I won't pray for you
Halo, follow, shallow, swallow
Halo over our demise
Following a God so blind
Shallow in their sickening
Swallow not the shit they feed
Set me free, oh
You'll never hold us down
I hope they shit on you
Satisfaction denied to run, turn and cry
I'm waiting
In my cold cell
When the bell
Begins to chime
Reflecting on
My past life
And it doesn't have
Much time
'Cause at 5 o'clock
They take me
To the Gallows pole
The sands of time
For me
Are running low
When
The priest comes
To read me
The last rites
I take a look
Through the bars
At the last sights
Of a world
That has gone
Very wrong for me
Can it be that
There's some
Sort of error
Hard to stop
Surmounting terror
Is it really the end
Of some crazy dream
Somebody please
Tell me
That I'm dreaming
It's not so easy
To stop
From screaming
The words escape me
When i try to speak
Tears flow
But why am I crying
After all
I'm not afraid
Of dying
Don't I believe
That there
Never is an end
As the guards
March me out
To the courtyard
Somebody cries
From a cell
God be with you
If there's a God
Then why has
He let me go?
As I walk
All my life
Drifts before me
Though the end
Is near
I'm not sorry
Catch my soul
It's willing
To fly away
Mark my words
Believe
My soul lives on
Don't worry now
That I have gone
I've gone beyond
To see the truth
When you know
That your time
Is close at han
Maybe
Then you'll begin
To understand
Life down here
Is just
In times of peace
You must prepare for war
In times of war
You must prepare for peace
In times of peace
You must prepare for war
In times of war
You must prepare for peace
In times of peace
You must prepare for war
In times of peace
You must prepare for war
She looked right into my
eyes and said to me
The hurt that you try to
hide is killing me
You drink a thousand lies,
to freeze the past in time
I've tried to fill this
silence up
But now it's back again
See the pain in my eyes
see the scars deep inside
My God, I'm down in this
hole again
With the laughter I smile
with the tears that I cry
Keep going down this road
called life
She says that I'm insecure,
I guess she's right
'Cause just when I think
I'm sure, alone at night
the agonies come back, this
pain won't let me be
I try to fill the silence up
but now it's back again
See the pain in my eyes
see the scars deep inside
My God, I'm down in this
hole again
With the laughter I smile
with the tears that I cry
Keep going down this road
called life
Don't need your sympathy
I just want for this silence
to stop killing me
It's deafening
it's deafening
this silence inside me
I try to fill the silence up
but now it's back again
It's empty like a suicide
this pain inside
See the pain in my eyes
see the scars deep inside
My God, I'm down in this
hole again
With the laughter I smile
with the tears that I cry
Keep going down this road
called life
Don't need your sympathy
I just want for this silence
Here in this darkess that I lay,
Depression heavy in it's way,
Now my body aches to leave,
And sing it's final ulegy.
My sons I love you ever more,
And though the road back ends once more,
I see the damage that I've done,
And search for repemption.
But I am just a broken man,
Who's soul cries out to understand,
How the madness shatters me,
Upon the stage on bended knee,
I scream aloud at skies above,
That answer mute, bereft and loved,
I struggle not to fall from grace,
I sing the hyms of my disgrace.
We build cathedrals to our pain,
Establish monuments to obtain.
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins,
Lest we drown in the darkness within.
Mysteries forgotten chords,
I strum in vain to please the lord,
But he has never answered me,
And faith has winged eternaly.
An empty man who passed along,
The woes of all religions wrong,
And now the shadow vail falls,
Hear the clown that calls.
So pray to music,
Build a shrine,
Worship it in these desperate times
Fill your heart with every note,
Cherish it and cast a vote.
Cause God is in his laughing tone,
Salvation is found alone,
Haunted by it's melody,
Music, it will set you free. (let it set you free)
We build cathedrals to our pain,
Establish monuments to obtain.
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins,
Lest we drown in the darkness within.
Do Do Do... and so on and so on.
Woah, Woah... Woooaaahhh
MUSIC MY SAVIOR,
SAVE ME,
MUSIC MY SAVIOR,
SAVE ME,
MUSIC MY SAVIOR,
SAVE ME,
MUSIC MY SAVIOR,
SAVE ME
We build cathedrals to our pain,
Establish monuments to obtain.
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins,
Lest we drown in the darkness within.
We build cathedrals to our pain,
Establish monuments to obtain.
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins,
Lest we drown in the darkness within.
I am your nightmares, true scares
That dream when you can't stop from falling
Can't fight, can't run
Can't stop the person you've become
I am your heartbreaks, mistakes
That place inside your hate
I am that shadow following every move, reminding you
That it's never good enough, never good enough
Even though you'll try and try
I'm gonna call your bluff
Because I am the thing bringing the feelings when...
Your world comes crashing around you
Smashes down around you
When will you see that you cannot hide from me?
When you feel darkness, hopeless
Can't cope with all the stress
I'll make you hate life bring strife
Remember failures hardened stare
And it's never gonna change, never gonna change
Always they'll be judging you
Compared to who and who
You trust in me but I only live to see
Your world come crashing around you
Smash down around you
When will you see that you cannot hide from me?
When I come for you
When I see through you
When I eat through you
When I destroy you
You'll think you're betrayed, astray
I'll leave you ripped and torn so bad you
Can't trust, can't love
Can't understand why life's so fucked
I'm deep inside your mind
In constant remind
If you leave your thoughts to me, believe
I'll make sure that I see
Your world come crashing around you
Smash down around you
When will you see that you cannot hide from me?
I'll make your world come crashing around you
Smash down around you
I'll let you see why cannot hide from me
Crawl, crawl
Do you hear revolution's call?
Time to fight our own denial
Warmongers keep us locked in fear
Invoke the past, a moment of tears
An ugly truth put forth by our youth
Under the threat of patriotic brute
So use your rage
It is a weapon we all must engage
Let trumpets sound our call
Or by their lives we will fall
Gnash down our teeth in hate and sing
Sing revolution's song
Whey they say die
Die for America
They say that freedom isn't free
It's paid with the lives of sons and families
'Cause blood is their new currency
And oil pumps the heart of money
So fight as one without a fucking gun
Words are the bullets to this revolution
Use your pain
The battlegrounds, the streets are ablaze
Excess will pave their path
The winds of change, our bloodbath
Gnash down our teeth in hate and sing
Sing revolution's song
When they say die
Die for America
Power and prejudice
Actions they use to pit against
Terror, insurgency
Words used to scare conformity
It's propaganda, it's their hypocrisy
Free to choose our own slavery
All suffer humanity, fuck
[Incomprehensible]
Fight, fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight, fight
So fight for all that you love
(Fight, fight, fight, fight)
Scream, choking with foot open throat
(Fight, fight, fight, fight)
Blind star spangled eyes
(Fight, fight, fight, fight)
Death, no more the truth you will hide, no more
(Fight, fight)
So how do they sleep?
While our mothers weep
They're selling our souls
(They're selling our souls)
And our blood for oil
Our generation can be the fucking one
That overcomes the greed of corrupt nations
Have no shame
You're not alone in thinking, this is fucking insane
Rise up and take your stand
You curl the fingers of your hand
I don't know what to do
'Cause I don't have the answers
With every ounce of strength
I'll vow to fight the cancer
Didn't say I want to lead
I just might let you down
Didn't say believe in me
Just hold this common ground
I'm just as lost as you
And probably more confused
So fucking far from perfect
My mind wrecked from abuse
There's something fucking wrong
When war takes sons and daughters
Our lambs misled to slaughter
Clenching the fist of dissent
Lies
Clenching the fist of dissent
Fear
Clenching the fist of dissent
Changed
They say we been
going down and going
down
Been traveling on the road
to nowhere
Going down, round and
round
Trying to get to the place
where we started
When I was just a boy
at four years old thought
the world was joy
As a kid I'd play, just
create the day
as I saw it my way
But time blows by
And strips us to the bone
poisoned wind of woe
Teach us that we're
alone in this world
We learned to see all the
corruption and greed
All its hate, all its pain, so
a toast to the end of our
innocence
A toast to our blank generation
They say we been
going down, been going
down
Been traveling on the road
to nowhere
Going down, round and
round
Trying to get to the place
where we started
When I was seventeen
realizing the world wasn't
what she seemed
Underneath the night San
Francisco sky
I would see, too clearly
But time blows by
And strips us to the bone
poisoned wind of woe
Teach us that we're
alone in this world
We learned to take all the
corruption and greed
All its hate, all its pain, so
a toast to the end of our
innocence
A toast to our blank generation
So here's to our collagen
lips and saline tits
To our growth hormones
and antibiotics
To the Hollywood world
we made out of Barbie doll
hearts
After we melted them down
so we could make our new
start
Here's to a generation
scared and always
wondering why
Instead of playing doctor,
we play shoot each other
and die
Instead of ring around the
Rosie, we play hide from
Mommy
'Cause Mommy's been drinking
again and we don't
want to get beat
Even with all our tattoos,
and all our cheap thrills
there's still a hole inside
of us that may not ever get
filled
So we give back a little bit
of what the world's given
Giving back a bit of never
giving a fuck
Here's to the justice never
dealt, to innocent, proven
guilty
Here's to bad cops turning
cheeks when real cops are
on the street
Here's to the rat-tat-n-tat
of gun shots, and your life
is shattered
Here's to "Gimme me your
cash or your brains is
gettin' splattered"
Here's to mad cow disease
and all that yummy MSG
Here's to Mickey d's serving
all those mutant chick-a-dees
This is a toast to celebrate
the end of our innocence
This is a toast to celebrate
how...
We've become desensitized
if life is to grow
some life must die
We learned to take all the
corruption and greed
All its hate, all its pain, so
a toast to the end of our
innocence
our generation
We now embrace all the
corruption
and greed, all its hate, all
its pain, so
a toast to the end of our
innocence
Fuck you all
My redemption is knowing
This will be over
My aggression, I fear I've lost control
Who is this man I said?
Mirror reflects a stranger
Fist shatters the despair
Awake the pain to anger
Do I close thine eyes of murder?
Do I close thine eyes of murder
Staring into me?
My obsession is dying
Sinking me deeper
My depression
This world has disavowed
Razor at wrist I seethe
The flesh is peeled apart now
Gone is my faded dream
Failure, I welcome in thou
Do I close thine eyes of murder?
Do I close thine eyes of murder
Staring into me?
Oh, this lifetime in sorrow
God, let the angels die
(Let the angels die)
This is our last goodbye
(Our last goodbye)
In love and death we cry
(Death we cry)
Our last goodbye, go
No, no, no
Spit in the face of loss
Coward, my own self-hatred
No more I bear this cross
Struggle and rise from the dead
This lifetime in sorrow
(The angels die)
This is our last goodbye
(Our last goodbye)
In this struggle Are we dead or alive?
Freedom is not existence It's why we survive
Shake our grief Hold on to belief
It can't enslave us forever There is relief
No change will be permanent
Our strength enduring Bright incandescent
Take a chance before we fall Our Backs against the wall
And the sun will rise
Dawn will break through the blackest night
Distant in it's glow
This shall pass be still and know
And there's heartache As we search to connect
Even just for a moment Pretend We're content
There is love Know that we are one
We are all in this together Weather the storm
Look into each other's eyes
Make the connection before it dies
It will all disseminate As we consummate
Is it hopeless? Will the fear take control?
Don't succumb to the numbing Sting of defeat
Take this hate Let the bile stagnate
Hoist the head of Goliath Bask in it's grace
Stars realign in the sky
Glaciers will melt and the oceans rise
I was that kid sittin' over
in the corner,
smiling with a shit-eating
grin
And I was that kid smilin' in
the back of class
'cause I'm fryin' on mescaline
I was that kid drinkin' 40's
on the bleachers
getting drunk after school
Gettin' home too late,
fallin' on my face,
way too drunk to skate
and actin' a fool
I was that kid never doing
good at
nothing except for maybe
at P.E.
And I was that kid getting
bullied by the
filipinos rollin with ABT
Me and my friends reading
the satanic bible thinking
we should start a band
Cutting class to jam,
cutting class to jam
In my dad's garage we
learned to
Act a fool - don't need to
be cool
Pissed off too and
breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in
school
don't rock 'n roll
But this is my american
high
I was that kid that was
crank-calling
your girlfriend, couldn't
get a goddamn date
And I was that kid that was
getting hella busted for
pissin' on the bart train
I fuckin' hated school
except for hanging out
with my friends, the
outcast that was
startin' up a band
Fremont was the town,
California-bound,
bay area sound, taught me
Act a fool - don't need to
be cool
Pissed off too and
breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in
school
don't rock 'n roll
But this is my american
high
I'm that kid you tried to
punk in english class
Now I'm in a band and
you're kissing my...
Asteroids beat out homework
Slayer beat out Zeppelin
Not the sharpest noggin
that's why I'm in this band
And what you got against
me, I don't need a new job
What you got against me,
I'll get by on my own
Tellin' me I'm never getting
by from my songs
I love it when you're
proven wrong
Act a fool - don't need to
be cool
Pissed off too and
breaking the rules
Mama told me stay in
school
don't rock 'n roll
But this is my american
high
Act a fool - don't need to
be cool
Break the rules
'cause this is my american
Oh, you tried to spit in the eye of a dead man's face
Attacked the ways of a man not yet in his grave
But your hate was over all too soon
Because nothing is over, nothing's through 'til we bury you
For the love of brother
I will sing this fucking song
Aesthetics of hate
I hope you burn in hell, go
Oh, the words I read on the screen left me fucking sick
I felt the hatred rising, you son of a bitch
You branded us pathetic for our respect
But he made us driven, deep reverence far beyond the rest
For the love of brother
I will sing this fucking words
Aesthetics of hate
I hope you burn in hell
Oh, long live memories
Live his freedom vicariously
Defend tenfold
His honor we'll always uphold
For the love of brother
I will say these fucking words
No silence against ignorance
Iconoclast, I hope you burn, burn in hell
May the hands of God strike them down
May the hand of God strike them down
May the hand of God strike them down
May the hand of God strike them, strike them
May the hands of God strike them down
May the hands of God strike them down
May the hands of God strike them down
Can you hear their cries?
Nowhere the children run to hide
Crimson rivers flow down hills, atone our ills
And woe to all her songs of love
A farewell to arms
Mutilated lives blackening as coffin line the sides
Filled with fathers
Who has won when only sons
Who hold their grieving heads and mourn
A farewell to arms
Always our souls entwine
Erase this vast divide
Deaf ears our voices rest
Tyrant, this is protest
Who has won?
Yes, who has won?
I'll wave this flag of white
So the avenged see the light
We'll pay for closed eyes
Before genocide
Pissing the masquerade
March to death parade
Trade not humanity
For pearls of the slavery
In the depth of mind the heart will find
The truth of our leaders
We'll try the facts so through the cracks
May fall the lying cheater
Who has won when we're all dead?
I'll wave this flag of white
So the avenged see the light
We'll pay for closed eyes
Before genocide
So is this how we live?
Or is this how we die?
Black blood dripping from platinum fangs
Rich blood flees while
Our poverty hangs, oh
Oh, shepherds, they herd the mindless trance
As the flock follows the puppet's dance
In a fatal romance
Oh, all that they needed was
A pretext, war's next
Heads to the chopping blocks
And our necks are next
For those who died
Who fought for our rights
Whose children now slaves
They're turning in their graves
Oh, war hawks and senators
They sit right so trite
Never their sons will know
What it's like to fight
Soldiers are dead
And children have bled
And the silence is numb
What have we become?
What have we become?
What have we become?
What have we become?
God save us
