Don't you change a fucking thing
These are hostile waters, unbroken lands
Shocking truths uncovered within
All your propheths are soon to be dead
Blood for blood - it ain't always as it seems
In your picture perfect society
Existing only in your dreams
Blood for blood it ain't always as it seems
With no violence, hate nor grief
Existing only in your dreams
No hope for society, it's doomed
With the likes of you bringing it to its knees
Sucking it dry of humanity
Corrupt morale, blind hatred's all there is
Blood for blood - it ain't always as it seems
In your picture perfect society
Existing only in your dreams
Blood for blood it ain't always as it seems
With no violence, hate nor grief
Existing only in your dreams
My anxiety is flying
Left from deep within me
It burns within as my throat begins to cauterize.
This negativity leeching
And his shred of composure
Rationales decade & left me bound in madness
I preach for come
I stumble replenish unknown
This burning tortures ring deep in my soul
I found the strife for me for bleeding stop
No one here take away the pain
I feel that this search is all in vain
And I struggle to find my way
How I yearn for the silence
For an enter the voices
The calamity grows and the deafness begins to disarray
Killed buries me alive
In a coffin dripped his size
I sold with the flame and darkness hoped for me to lay it
I preach for come
I stumble replenish unknown
This burning tortures ring deep in my soul
I found the strife for me for bleeding stop
No one here take away the pain
I feel that this search is all in vain
And I struggle to find my way
I found the strife for me for bleeding stop
No one here take away the pain
I feel that this search is all in vain
And I struggle to find my way
Light! Light! Light! Light!
Light! Light! Light! Light!
I found the strife for me for bleeding stop
No one here take away the pain
I feel that this search is all in vain
And I struggle to find my way
I found the strife for me for bleeding stop
No one here take away the pain
I feel that this search is all in vain
Well, I need time for myself
Before I'm what I despise
And I won't pretend, that everything is right
I just want to be sure, what I want
What I live for in this life
I'll be free, at the time...
Before the end of dawn
I don't need you, for trouble in my life
Cause I need you, strong and bright
I don't need you, for trouble in my life
Cause I need you, to drown in me for awhile
For as long as I try to define
What I live for in this life
I declare off the right
To know where I belong
I don't need you, for trouble in my life
Cause I need you, strong and bright
I don't need you, for trouble in my life
There's more than 24 hours of pain (hours of pain)
Present in every passing day (so i watch what i say)
So i watch what i say
Life is a strife
Time's worth a dime
Both of which I have none
It's a sign
Re-align
Although at my prime I live like slime
Once upon
Skeleton
A ladder to climb not for real just in mime
You can cry
You can sigh
But life will go on and leave you behind
There's more than 60 minutes of hell (minutes of hell)
Present each hour I know it so well so (I fear my death bell)
So I fear my death bell
Life is a strife...
There's less than 60 seconds of sin (seconds of sin)
I counted in one minute's grin (there is no way to win)
There is no way to win
She's lying on her back
Staring at the sky
Over and over in her head she's asking herself why
Release me
Free me
Can't find out the reasons why
Can't find the will to try
everything seems so different now
The world is changing shape
everything seems so different now
The world is turning black
Why did it come to this
and where did it go wrong
can't find out the reasons why
it took so long
Release me
Free me
Can't find out the reasons why
Can't find the will to try
Release me
Free me
So everything can fade away
Can't take another day
I don't want to live this way
The fight for what's right does not lie in closed minds
Search inside and you will find the answers lie within the reach of those who try...
to live their lives
Free from hate
It's time to break... chains that bind
Hate confines
Stand as one
Standing strong
Make the choice and make it clear
A voice of one I've got to hear
We've got to try... to live our lives
Free from hate
It's time to break... these chains.... stand as one
Standing strong
Standing strong
Stand as one
Severed wrists can spill no blood
No regrets for the judged
Walk alone
Stand alone
I stand for more
Though I'm unsure
Never follow what you see
Believe in what can be
I am alone
I stand for more
Though I'm unsure
Never follow what you see
Believe in what could only hope
Left the voices
Leave the body scorned
Marked for life
Whether wrong or right
I can't be free
Broken and left for dead
I had to change my path
refuse to ever give in
I will not be defeated
I will rise form this place
Gainging strength
Rise from this pain
Rise to the truth
Acknowledge rebuild
closer to you
broken and left for dead
I had to change my path and I refuse to ever give in
I will not be defeated
I will rise from this place
Gaining strength
Rise from the pain
To the truth
Acknowledge
Rebuild
Closer to you
Closer to you
Rise from the pain
Rise again
I lie in this bed of comfort, so wide and so vast. Fears and
anxieties leave me to wonder. How long will this last? Never felt
the pain of poverty. Never have dealt with this reality. Never
given thanks or appreciation. Never realized the wealth of my
Overthrow... attacks on one's own will only to defeat the whole
The true fight lies against the ignorance of the outside world
We cannot succumb to the conflicts of this inter-segregation
The creation of something pure has been infected by a prejudice
This movement can only survive with the committed support of all...
Overthrow
Overcome
Rise above
Rise as one...
Restricted the advancement of this voice is stifled by itself
When those who hold it in their grasp have become the enemy...
I... cannot stand alone
We must not accept this trend
With hands held high and fist clenched tight to put an end to this infest
End this dissension...
minds decay for moments lost. nothing`s done, nothing`s said... i won`t let it go on
i won`t let steal you what`s left inside. i won`t let it go on. i won`t let your actions
No need
Theres no use
The past is gone
Can't look back
Forgive
Condemn
the choices made are mine alone
I won't back down from this
Can't turn back now
The future holds new found light
Strong enough for this fight
My hands are still reaching out
Taking hold of my own
I won't back down from this
Can't turn back now
And I keep telling myself
Next time around it's never going the same way that it was
this is something I cannot change
now that I am left all alone
Reach back and release the power held in each
The tools of knowledge we have received
Our youth removed stripped of verity
But a voice is crying out and we'll take it back...
We'll take it back
Take back our hopes our dreams
All within the reach of those who believe in what can be
In faith I wait
I'll do what it takes
My voice is still crying out
And we'll take it back...
We'll take it back...
Waiting...
Waiting
I'll fucking hope
I'll fucking dream
I'll fucking believe
But I'm still...waiting
Waiting
I'll see the ascension of this disease
Am I alone in my dream
I'm still waiting
Waiting
Waiting
I will wait
This world screams for release
War torn
New battles born
Day after day
Numbers rise
Life staine red
Close your eyes
Close your mind to the truth
Cut yourself from the outside
Ignore the signs
numbers rise
Life stained red
Climbing from the wreckage comes the new world order
Machines killing everything
Hand of fates
Disorder
Disorder
Stained red
Shut your eyes
Close your eyes
You condemn me for this life I choose, just look at yourself
and all afflicted by your views. You continue to act as if so
pure, when you just add to the problem excluding the real cure.
I don't need it anymore. You try and act but really ignore. The
true battle lies inside my friend, and you'll change nothing until
the inner struggles end. So now you attack me with your shots
and that's okay. I've got more than what you got. You'll change
nothing until that shit stops. You won't change until the inner
Stepping ground lost, fallen through the sands of time. The
security once known has been stipped back and exposed. Strong
hands which before expressed support have now faded from my sight.
Stong hands scorn my eyes to darken the light...and it just
slips away. It burns. It burns in my heart. I thought I knew
what I was looking for. I thought I knew what I would find.
I thought I knew what would become of me. It feels like like
I knew nothing. Figure it out what's going on. Well in my heart I
know I'm strong. Figure out what went wrong. It feels like
Because I stand in this defiance I wear the mark of those
Who choose to refuse self-destructive points of view
And with each day spent in self-perseverance
My voice is strong against what's wrong forcing it to end
Forcing it to end
Standing in this defiance and wearing the mark of those
We chose to refuse our system's defective views
And with each day spent in our self-perseverance
Our voices strong against what's wrong
We're forcing it to end
We're forcing it to an end
Still hanging on the words from your lips
Still trembling at my fingertips
The end came sooner than expected
It came without warning without mercy
Believe in me you said... you said
Trust in me you pled... you pled
It's all misled
Why did I believe
How could I not see
I wish I knew... so where do I go from here?
Where do I belong?
If not amongst you then with who?
With who?
I wish I knew...
I wish I knew...
I wish I knew...
I wish I knew...
With who
Emptiness again
Left alone again
Left to question all that's happened
No one cares
No one tries
All that's left is the will to die
Try...
Try to hold on to what's left inside
Empty (and this emptiness I'm left with)
Searching (has me reaching for a reason)
Empty (this loneliness consuming)
Reaching (I'm searching for the answers)
Will you do the same?
Try...
Try to find peace
reaching hands- cirkling down i see it twist to nothing torn from
what it meant, cou from extence...my fingers bleed, but reaching hands are not weak the light the tonce burned so bright, has now
been cast a dismal grey. fighting to keep the voice alive, i cannot left
it end this way...i`m held- in the arms of the few! i walk in a line with
the skared, never breaking my vow. i swear to you. A rise of
commitment strong, a vision to wich it belongs. purty of the
How long can this go on
The tragic loss of life by the hands of our own questions
Keep coming
The answers seem so far
and now I'm loosing my faith
Can't you see the end is near
I try to keep some kind of hope
That someday we shall overcome this self destructive way of life
Can we be freed from the hate
It lies within our reach to rise from these graves weve laid
To create another way
We must somehow
The time has come right now before losing whats left
Were in the final days
I try to keep some kind of hope
That one day we shall overcome this self-destructive way of life
can we be free from all the hate
or do we choose to remain in these graves weve laid
Can't you see the end is near
Broken dreams broken home nowhere to go
Shattered life left without a reason why
Void inside no one there to hear your cries
Alone and cold no one there for you to hold... for you to hold
Forgotten one the time has come
To take control join with those forgotten too
In this place a sense of worth is finally gained
Take my hand together we'll forget the past
Take the stand together we can change our lives... change our lives
Forgotten one the time has come
You... me... us
The time has come to take control
Resistance in a time of mass self-destruction
Makes the few who walk the straight edge
A growing force of change
Committed through gripped by the plague of a nation
Consumed by intoxication and confined by a crippling greed
In...my...rage
I walk the path of true change
Commitment sworn in the name
Of those who still walk the straight edge
Convictions held to my grave
Once more I find myself in this place
Can't find a way to get release
this grip I'm in is holding tight
No matter how I fight it gains more strength
With everyday
theres got to be some kind of peace from this constant state I'm in
Where has all the beauty gone
I can't keep holding on
Someone please won't you tell me
It willbe okay and someday it will finally change
Warm sunshine can take away the rain
All my life Ive waited for a key to unlock
The door that keeps me from so much more
There's got to be some kind of peace from this constant state I'm in
Where has all the beauty gone
I can't keep holding on
Someone please won't you tell me
and here it comes all over again
I can feel it calling me again
Theres nothing to loose
when it all seems lost
Theres nothing to gain when everythings stripped away
A simple plan to turn it around has now become the hardest thing I face
And here it comes all over again
I can feel it calling me again
Could the questions asked get answered real fast
I'm losing this fight my friend
Blistered by a raging sun's flames
Mankind sealed its fate in its haste
Warning signs sent time after time
We just sit back in all this waste
All this waste
And I will not wait
I'll climb from this place
I'll climb to the truth
To the truth
Blackened skies poisoned ashes cried
Mankind sealed its fate in it's haste
Warning signs sent time after time
We just sit back ignore the waste
All the waste
An I cannot wait
I'll climb from this place
I'll climb to the truth
To the truth
To the truth
Looking to the skies I can see the ashes falling
Looking to the shy I can see it all coming down
I can never give up
I can never give up my fights right
I can never give out
I can never give out because mine is right
My fight is truth
My fight is truth
The future is dead for many of those who have fallen refusing to let it go
Addiction we're victim of affliction
We're choking these walls are caving in
We keep pushing
This world is bleeding
Is this our destiny?
We've built and constructed a false progression
Is this our destiny?
It's not just the fire pumping through our veins
It's not just the cancer we inhale
It's not just the poison we keep drinking... it's everyone
It's you and me
We keep pushing
This world is bleeding
Is this our destiny?
We've built and constructed a false progression
Is this our destiny?
It's not just the actions of our hate
It's not just the division we create
It's not just the one sex, color or creed... it's everyone
It's you and me
Is this our destiny?
another day gone by with nothing said. another wish wasted
another thought dead. crying to myself am i the only one. trying
within myself but what`s done is done. i once thought i knew a little
bit, but now i know more about nothing...am i the only one? trying,
trying not to lose what is gone trying not to lose what is held
dear what is dear...trying, trying not to lose what is now gone.
trying to avoid what i fear- what i fear...move a little closer, move
a little further away from me. srtip away what seld dear. move a

imperfection seems to have gotten the best of me. i beat myself down in this
frustration. in unreal aspirations- never alownig progressions to begin- sights
set so far ahead. missing the start i fall once more. i must try one step at a time.
facing the path alone, i will begin again. i will begin again. ostacles come from
within. sometimes so strong you must wait. take the time to catch your breath.
face the path alone and begin again... begin again. never let yourself go astray!
making a change will take some time. but you`ve got the time, you`ve got the time.
face the path alone- begin again! face what is there- what is there. i must realize
what is there, face, confront and never give in. i msut try one day at a time. facing
My heart has felt such sorrow and my eyes see the pain. The
tears have fallen once more, hatred fuels the flame. I refuse.
There's a better way. I refuse. No more. I will not remain
silent. My voice will be heard. My words dedicated to those
whose pain is undeserved. How long will this abuse,
degradation and misuse of true innocence go overlooked. The
crimes of humanity, blindly accepted by you and me. I will
Sometimes I feel I can't break away. Can I ever get free from
these chains? It burns me up, it burns me up inside. My soul
is forced to the ground. Can the source ever be found? It burns
me up, it tears me up inside, can I get free. Struggling to calm
the fire, with every day it rises higher. Face to face with my
I can feel it coming and I'm telling you my friend, that the lives
we are wasting effect the whole in the end. The apathetic lives we
lead, they're so easy to be seen. I know the time is coming for
intense suffering. Begin to care. I know it's taken me a while.
Now I see it's time for this generation to at least try, to wake to
the reality of our constant negativity. Redevelop the goals so as
to benefit the whole. Begin to care. The blatant disregard is
simply confining the arms, that are struggling to keep us up.
So many thoughts in my mind, I sometimes wonder are they worth
the time. But on these feelings should I dwell? Because
everyday I build my shell. And I watch these lives. I can't help
help what I feel inside. To me it seems so wrong to be so
blind but the life is theirs not mine. Does this mean I
shouldn't care? Just shut my eyes, act unaware. These people
I feel so strongly towards are pulled away because of my words.
But we'll spread the message and make it clear. We'll spread
the message for everyone to hear. So come with us and let's
all join hands. To make hatred, prejudice, and drugs all
what will remain of those days when it
all meant something to you, the kinds, and
me- it was more than just something yes,
but it´s changed.what will remain ofthose things that uses to be? some say
they`re gone, but they`ll never be gone in
me. and i`ll remain to see those days
again...like before when to me, it feelt like
something more. it didn`t die it`s just been
ignored; what will remain of those days?
people changed, time is rearranged, lives
and goals do not remain the same, nothing
stays the same...what will remain...

when narrow minds meet they will combine, and bound by fear they will divide.

confide in fear, looked inside here, alone but never lost. soltude
is mine. the answers to the question that kill this will. that boil in
A message sent to ensure that this world is a tragic place
Still filled with ignorance
And we can no longer hide behind false smiles
That once were saving us
Killing all the innocence
We wave goodbye to those times
And we will begin again
Can you hear the child cry to me
They always seem to cut like knives in my heart
I still believe
If you can find it in the good of humanity
Killing all the innocence
We wave goodbye to those times
and who will begin again
have we reached the end
What is wrong with humanity
Angel wings carry me
Show me the things I can't see
Why am I here at all
Angels sing
Comfort me
Help to end this suffering
Why am I here at all
In this place
I remain heavy with regret
Hear me screaming
My voice is giving out
Something has been lost
Can it ever be found
Is it in my head
Is it in my heart
This descent into emptiness
Is tearing me apart
Hear me screaming
My voice is giving out
Can't run
Can't hide from what it's about
Escape will take much more than I have got
But I will break these binding chains
I will overcome
Hear me
Sheila, She's a dealer,
Dropped off in a blue three wheeler,
Shaves her leg...
With a tater peeler,
Sheila had a dealer.
Hard life, born in a puddle,
Wrong game led her into trouble,
Now she's locked in a cage,
She's lower than rage,
Down from a high phase.
Billy, Billy's uncle,
Went away, got lost in the jungle,
All he can say,
We may find him some day,
We may meet him some day.
In a tribe, on a keyring,
Shrunk his head them shrinkers feed,
They suck on his bones,
They won't leave him alone,
Billy's uncle's alone.

Painting pictures of life,
Caught in a strife,
Caught in a strife.
Painting pictures of life,
Caught in a strife,
Caught in a strife.
In a strife,
In a stri-ife,
Strife, strife, strife, strife, strife, strife, strife.
From the park, to the station,
Young boy lets out his frustration,
With a pen, again and again,
It's in marker pen.
It says, was 'ere,
95, 96, 7, 8, 99,
Now he's doin' some time,
He's doin' some time.
[Chorus]
Painting pictures of life,
Caught in a strife,
Caught in a strife.
Painting pictures of life,
Caught in a strife,
Caught in a strife.
Now no one knows any better,
Yeah yeah yeah
You wrote the words in the letter,
Now no one knows any better,
Yeah yeah yeah
I wrote the words in the letter.
Henry, sells junk,
Candles, Lampshades to air rifles,
But he don't know, where they will all go,
The antiques roadshow, maybe.
Someday, tranna make some money,
Mr. Monaco thought Henry was funny,
Henry don't lie,
So he shoots him in the eye,
There are bullets in your eyes!
[Chorus]
Painting pictures of life,
Caught in a strife,
Caught in a strife.
Painting pictures of life,
Caught in a strife,
Caught in a strife.
Painting pictures of life,
Caught in a strife,
Caught in a stri-i-i-ife.
Painting pictures of life,
Caught in a strife,
Caught in a strife.
In a strife,
In a stri-ife,
I remember those days when we didn't care
About one thing that now I have
And has passed not enough time though
But I'll stay unbroken I'll keep my oath
I don't fucking care about those words
Which you have listened from hardcore shows
I believe in myself, I believe in my crew
Nobody makes you listen to
But you have to know and keep it in mind
We are just straight edge kids and not enough
I have changed just the pure fucking life
It is the struggle, It is the strife.
We've been changed by what we have
In our souls and our hearts
and there is no matter what everyone'll say
I've got the straight edge.
