Tracks



01. Isolation

Perpetrated over time
Better walk the narrow line
Never challenge what we say
In the darkness of our mind
Never thought we'd be so blind
Let the nightmare get away
Isolation cannot be
The best, the best that we can do
Build a cage full of rage
Inner demons call your name
Suicide, your only friend

Extermination of ourselves
Mass incarceration
Termination of ourselves
Mass incarcerate

In the cage, in the cage
You will remain
In the cage, in the cage
You will remain
They'll lock you down
Lock you down for life

Carry out another fight
You might think you have the right
Maybe live another day
Use your body as a whore
Strip you right down to the core
You're the profit and the prey
Violate our human right
Is what, is what they always do
Out of sight, out of mind
Try to keep you dumb and blind
This is not a part of you

Extermination of ourselves
Mass incarceration
Termination of ourselves
Mass incarcerate

In the cage, in the cage
You will remain
In the cage, in the cage
You will remain
They'll lock you down
Lock you down for life

When is my trial?
Guilty for life

In the cage, in the cage
You will remain
In the cage, in the cage
You will remain
They'll lock you down
Lock down for life

02. Means To An End

Embrace a battle
Engage all out war, yeah

Weak minded people they prey on
Prove we all want something more
A fear of a foreign invader
Delusions that are killing the truth
A desperate way to gain the faith
Emotions controlling the will
It will make no difference, it's the era we live
Each side bare witness to lies

Wake up
Who's to blame?
Brainwashed politics

Stand and defend
A means to an end

Divide and conquer
The fall of faith
Doomed
Won't sit and wait for decisions
It's only a matter of time

A day will come, it's on the way
The terror will come to an end
It makes no difference, the era we live
Each side bare witness to lies

Wake up
Who's to blame?
Brainwashed politics
Wake up
Who's to blame?
Brainwashed politics

Stand and defend
A means to an end

Lost in disbelief
Failed democracy
Lost in misbelief
Filled with hypocrisy

Wake up
Who's to blame?
Brainwashed politics

Stand and defend
A means to an end
Lost in disbelief
Where is my relief?

03. Last Time

Desperate for the day
Craving for that high
Denying the addiction
It rules my life
Want to disappear
Crawl inside the mind
Vanish from the light

One more, I swear
Last time again
I don't need this
Can't help myself
One more, I swear
I don't want this suffering

All you say
Won't make it go away
Killing by myself
I'm not here to stay
Already crossed that line
Lucky I'm alive
Climbed out from the bottom
Can't rule my life
Never far behind
Closer every time
I'm the one who saved me

One more, I swear
Last time again
I don't want this
Can't help myself
Last time
Building something so much stronger

All you say
Won't make it go away
Killing by myself
I'm not here to stay
Already crossed that line
Lucky I'm alive
Climbed out from the bottom
Can't rule my life
Never far behind
Closer every time
I'm the one who saved me

The voice
It speaks
It's haunting me
To change
My need
Won't let
Me be

Try to change my ways
A little bit each day
Searching for redemption
Won't rule my life
Beaten, paid the price
Fought to stay alive
I found all my worth
Won't rule my life

04. Capital Enslavement

Struggle with demons, enticing my dreams
Psychotic illusions, can't make out what's real
Tormented and tortured, oppressing the screams
Denying the symptoms that brought us all here

Can't make out the faces, keep changing with time
Search for an answer, hope passes us by
Must keep always moving, you stop when you die
Born into this world, no escaping this fucking game

Do you believe what I say?
There's no relief when you pray
Without it we die, no food in our mouths
You can't deny what I say
We live for it or die

Fight for it, lie for it
Even try to kill for it
Never stop, pay the price
Even after death

Once you have the taste of it, you want it all the time
Turn your back on everything and sink into the grime
Searching for the power, desperate and alone
Everyone's an enemy, can knock you off your throne
Falling down

Better believe what I say
There's no relief when you pray
Raised from the cradle till death in the grave
You can't deny what I say
We live for it or die

05. Ali

Descendant from adversity
A youth learns early what hatred means
Enraged with anger, no dignity
Whitewashed the mind, no knowledge of self

Stand against the foe
Is a sweeter death to know
A battle for our right
Is a sweeter death to know

Beat everyone till there's no one else to beat
Stand in line your next to grovel at my feet
I will be the one I want to be
Make no mistake, what's my name?

Stand against the foe
Is a sweeter death to know
A battle for our right
Is a sweeter death to know
Better to stay and fight
Is a sweeter death to know
Stand against the foe
Is a sweeter death to know

Won't kill in foreign lands
Return and beat by racist hands
We're victims of an oppressive game
He cast aside a life of fame
The weight is heavy
The burden great
Stand to be different
Held onto faith

A defiant champ of the world
But never stood alone
Felt the fire beneath his feet but kept pushing on despite of the heat
Didn't matter at all what people might said
He had the spirit to fight his way to the end

Even in the sickness there's a torch with a flame
Lighting up a path for all those who came
Even in the darkness there's a glimmer of hope
Never down and never out, the original GOAT

06. Raging Void

All the change you wanna see in the world
But are you willing to change yourself?
Fill the grief
Is it longing for more?
Why is it just not ever enough?

Must have more
Fill the void

All the waste
Only helps to escape
Is this now who you wanted to be?
What do you want
To dictate your life?
Can a price be set on your time?

Start right now
We struggle to fill the void
It's our fight now
We struggle to find relief

Staging a battle inside
The truth will keep you alive
Staging a battle inside
The truth is how to survive
Raging, who has control?
Who is trolling your mind?
Raging, who has control?
Why's it never enough?

Must have more
Fill the void

Start right now
We struggle to fill the void
It's our fight now
We struggle to find relief

Must have more
Fill the void

07. Guardians Of Earth

The fight has started again
The blood is staining our hands
Selfish desires
Commence the killing again
Illusion of wealth
Stirring the rage
The fight has started again
Blood has been shed

Our earth
Our salvation
Slips through
Our hands are tied
We've sold our souls
There's no place to hide

Why? We closed our eyes
There's no second chance
Self-destruction
By speaking the truth
We stay alive

It's where we all come from
Strong in our stance
The source of our life
There's no second chance

Total demise
Blinded by faith
Cold blooded murder
Now, reverse what we've done
Save our future
We'll never give in
Preserve our future
Never give up
Fight till the end
Never give up

08. The Pentagram

[Instrumental]

09. Autem

Find a way to leave behind
The things you did
You can't rewind
Five, four, three, two, one

I live for the day
Are my fears really here to stay?
I live for the day
All that shines can fade away

All in vain
Useless arguments
Scars remain
Foolish stubborn pride

Won't shame me
I will judge me
Avoid temptation
Embrace damnation

I live for the day
Are my fears really here to stay?
I live for the day
All that shines can fade away

Past regrets
Hope has gone astray
Losses made
Never come again
No resentments
Tight commitments
Strength empowered
Destroy the coward

Find a way to leave behind
The things you did
You can't rewind
Push ahead, break free, let go
The moment now, gain control
And feel, and feel

Won't shame me
I will judge me
Avoid temptation
Embrace damnation

I live for the day
Are my fears really here to stay?
I live for the day
All that shines can fade away

10. Quadra

Um, dois, três, quatro

11. Agony Of Defeat

The doubts are swarming in my head
Down deep in the limbo
I try my best to filter it
Fight for the answers
It's starting to take control again
Somehow I won't let go
The premonition of worthlessness
Fear that I'm dead

I'm trapped dealing with the outside, let me out
I'm trapped on the inside, let me out
Lost fighting with the pain without a doubt
I'm trapped on the inside, let me out

Oh, these doubts, let go
All these doubts, let me out

Search for a reason
Hope dying slowly
I'm trapped dealing with the outside, let me out
I'm falling
My hope dying slowly

Try to find a way
To embrace the pain
Try to find a way
To embrace the pain

Oh, these doubts, let go
All these doubts, let me out

Search for a reason
Hope dying slowly
I'm trapped dealing with the outside, let me out
I'm falling
My hope dying slowly
I'm trapped dealing with the outside, let me out
I'm trapped on the inside, let me out
Hope dying slowly
I'm trapped dealing with the outside, let me out
I'm trapped on the inside, let me out

12. Fear; Pain; Chaos; Suffering

Set sail, leave the war behind
Searching for security
Lost souls journey from Hell
Hope for a chance in this world

Lost souls travel free
Lost souls tragedy

The fear from the masses
The streets covered in blood
Irreversible suffering
Will never be undone

Lost souls travel free
Lost souls tragedy
Please help me to save myself
Please help me to save myself

Fear, pain, chaos, suffering
Fear, pain, chaos, suffering

Lost souls travel free
Lost souls tragedy
Lost souls travel free
Lost souls tragedy
Please help me to save myself
Screaming out for one last chance

Fear, pain, chaos, suffering
Fear, pain, chaos, suffering
Fear, pain, chaos, suffering
Fear, pain, chaos, suffering
