I don't need a thing from you All you did was take from me Left me back at the gate Like a prisoner with no fate Locked inside a state of mind Where ill never find that shallow end Inner peace, never had Serenity, never found You let the bullet push through Loosed the arrow to pierce me The blade sunk deep To show me who you really are Just another blackened face at the end of my cage
2.
The liars walk among us Their untruths have become truth They have led us one by one To the den of thieves Their empty promises of salvation we have swallowed whole They wean us on their lies And feast on our ignorance Their words, poison, seeping through the cracks Salvation denied There is no salvation here Their profit is our ignorance Turning a blind eye To the suffering they create False prophets, what have they brought us? They have led us into a world That they've built on corruption and lies

Cold 02:34
No to trust There is no peace inside my head Lost everything that i once held close Struggling to live in this hell you left me in Plagued by anxiety Haunted by the things i've done And all the things i lost Memories i can't get away from I've never felt so cold Inside and out I believe in curses Because I'm trapped in my own skin And no matter how much i pray I'll never find the peace that you gave me I will never forgive myself For all the pain I've caused Every time I close my eyes I see your face

Divine Right 03:05
Waging war in the name of freedom A twisted pride in a failing system Assimilate. Eradicate. "If they can't live like us, why the fuck should they live?" Claiming your right to divinity This is justified in your eyes This is called for They deserve to die A genocide for your god A genocide for your country A genocide for your glory Land of the free, built on the backs of slaves Their blood is on your hands
5.
Sowing seeds of destruction Your influence breeds corruption Draining blood to fuel your machine Bathing in darkness Unseen yet felt by those Pinned underneath the weight Of the shadow of your intent Tyrants ruling on their thrones Built by those you deem beneath you Controlling all from the shadows Millions of lives at your disposal Driven by unthinkable greed Killing for things that you don't need All to keep feeding your euphoria Chaining the people to your working machine Telling them they're free To choose as they please When in reality they're slaves To the system you created A nation of liars and hypocrites Selling an image to the masses A lie of perfection Made to brainwash and manipulate A display of force Propaganda to intimidate To silence the cries of the oppressed Silence their cries You've silenced their cries A quest that ends with your hands Soaked in the blood of the innocent Mankind in thrall Under the shadow of your intent
6.
Mindless, spineless Deaf and dumb Turn your backs on all the things You don't want to hear Ignoring the problem As it gets worse Endless fucking killings But it can't be real If it doesn't happen to you Trusting blindly in the words they say "Obey us and you'll have nothing to fear" Fucking swine in human clothes Pray for help as your life draws to a close Hiding their crimes under the rug Immune to the laws they uphold Society's protectors are now your executioners No judge No jury You are guilty Until proven innocent And the punishment for your crime is death
7.
Living your life hiding in fear Everything you have Passed down to Ungrateful hands Completely absorbed by your ego Focused only on perfecting an image Live in disregard For the consequences of your actions You've chosen to walk the path of a knave A coward with no shame Looking for others to place the blame Changing your morals To what suits your interests You turned your back on the ones Who treated you like family Coward. Liar. Hypocrite. You can't even look me in the eye You can't keep your head held high When you don't have a fucking spine A living embodiment Of everything that fucking I hate Waiting for the chance Just to watch you bleed And the day everything you love Leaves you in darkness You made your bed and dug your grave And you'll lie in it for the rest of your life True loyalty never dies May the real ones remain
8.
Trapped inside Lost in a false reality Looking for a way out But there's only so far that i can see Stuck in this world Where I'm force fed everything Surrounded by hypocrites and pharisees Political injustice rules the day No one wins You can't beat the system You can't win no matter what you do Trapped inside this twisted game To it you stay a slave There's nothing you can do To make the pain go away In this nightmare that never ends I can't wake up This is my reality
9.
Blight 02:26
Make no mistake Humanity is the disease So long as ws draw breath This world can never know peace Sit and watch As we bring the earth to its knees Killing and taking all for ourselves Satisfaction of self all we seek Make no mistake We are a blight on this world Corrupting all that we touch From the cradle to the grave We take until there's nothing left The only cure Is death As the future unfolds We will see pain untold Make no mistake Our destiny Extinction

Slow Burn 03:17
Caught in a cycle of push and pull Blinded by hatred, filled with rage On a path of self destruction With no end in sight Take a look at the world you live in You pretend everything is fine When I see it, I feel it inside Slow burn This world we live in, alight with strife While innocents burn alive Deafen your ears to their cries While the rest live under the knife Because I can't turn my eyes And ignore these desperate cries Who will fight back? The blade at your throat, is ready to cut The noose around your neck, is tightened to hang The gun pressed to your head, ready to blow Intolerance for intolerance Hatred for hatred Smash your intolerance Smash your hate
