01. Afterlife

I remember the look on your face
And all the memories of you
A loving girl with no fear in her eyes
A riotous decision to choose

A careless man with no reason inside
He took the life out of you
A bitter end to a brief stay in life
I wish there was some way to choose

Why can't we choose?

We aren't here to stay
We're all the say way
See us fall away
I'll see you in the next life

25 with no reason to die
I know you should be right here
He paid the fine but never did any time
Why is this life so unfair?

We aren't here to stay
We're all the say way
See us fall away
I'll see you in the next life

02. Through My Eyes

Tear through the ashes of what still remains
The blood runs down my face
Can't find the reason
We're all left to waste
You must awaken
See through my eyes

I bleed to let myself know I'm alive
As you hide in denial
Break through the clouds and reach out to the sky
You must awaken

See through my eyes
See through the lies
We're not far away
We're not far away

As we crawl to salvation
The rest try to hold us down as they fall
We separate from the hate that will bring us down
Bring us down
Bring us down

These lacerations
They will reveal for the rest of my life
These aggravations will not conceal 'til I die or we end this fight

As we crawl to salvation
The rest try to hold us down as they fall
We separate from the hate that will bring us down

Forget the words that they've said
If it's all deceit in your head
This life is more that just lies
Awake and see through my eyes

Awake and see through my eyes [x4]

03. The Beginning Of The End

Realize the pain envision the fear
That goes on every year
Devour your pride acknowledge the hate
That we see everyday
Decide weather to fight for your rights or let life pass you by
Confide within the strength of yourself do not ever lay down and die

We're at the edge
We're closer to death
The beginning of the end

We are the ones who pay
We pay for your actions
We'll die again today
Unless we take action

Take all the strength from the weak
Find more ways to use them
Mankind does not have the right
Now we all must repent

We're at the edge
We're closer to death
The beginning of the end

We are the ones who pay
We pay for your actions
We'll die again today
Unless we take action

Now we must seek forgiveness

We we're all at the edge
We're closer to death
The beginning of the end

04. United We Stand

Suffocate our will to survive
Eliminate the choice and divide us
Dissolution, self-confusion
Fall into the absence of mind

As you run away, away from all your fear
We'll stand right here
As you fall away, away from us this year
We'll stand right here

Its not complicated the life you once lead
The demon is in your head
I felt suffocated like I'd reached the end
But now united we stand

Now we stand

As you run away, away from all your fear
We'll stand right here
As you fall away, away from us this year
We'll stand right here

How long will you defend, the path you've chosen, the life that you've thrown away

Take this life in our hands, united we stand, this world becomes what we make it
Take this life in our hands, united we stand, this world will become what we make it

05. Beyond Recognition

All hail the face of abomination
Deceive the minds of those
Who are sent to fight, who live their lives to die alone
We will succeed when you quit
The nation lost its patients
Lie us into war, trade blood for oil, we count the days

Emancipate from the sea of lies
Awaken and recognize the fate of mankind
Apocalyptic decay
Degeneration of all life as we know it, waste away

Live to die another day walking through this hell you've made
Our tears cannot be repaid
Slit through the wrist the blood running down my fingertips
I'd rather die than be slaved

You're planting the seeds of hate
For generations
Avoiding reality
Beyond Recognition

I'm reaching out towards the sky, begging for the answer
To see the truth, why they deserve to die

The innocent blood will shed
Eradication
Killing for your country
Beyond Recognition

I'm reaching out towards the sky, begging for the answer
To see the truth, why they deserve to die

06. Another Source Of Light

Turn through the pages in my head
Remember what we had
Break through the shell you hide behind
Into the skin and see what the truth holds inside
I'll see what's behind your new eyes

And I will fight to keep myself alive
Without you I will find
Another source of light

Dissolve the memories in your head
Pretend like I was dead
And when you're looking for a friend
You'll turn around and miss all the people you had
And now they wont cover your back

And I will fight to keep myself alive
Without you I will find
Another source of light

Find your way back home

Your way back home

Find another source of light
Another source of light
Find another source of light
Another source of light

07. Hate Machine

Man cannot predict the consequence
Feed into the hate machine and lead us to our own descent
We're trapped amidst conformity
The world is lost among itself its own obscurity
We must revive

Fall into a self induced demise
The strong become the powerless and now they struggle to survive
Do not neglect authority
The strength to save yourself or change all of humanity
We must unite and strive

As this world becomes our home
Its stripped and taken from our hands
And then we're slit to the bone

Take back these thorns around my neck
You'll wear them after
You will not see until I've been set free

The rein of power crushing down upon ourselves will decide the fate of life and mankind
The fall of man will rise and burn the skies unless we can find a way to all unite time

Now we must revive

As this world becomes our home
Its stripped and taken from our hands
And then we're slit to the bone

Take back these thorns around my neck
You'll wear them after
You will not see until I've been set free

We're not alone

08. Severed

Stare down this road you travel on is this what you've dreamed your life would always be
I choose to learn from my mistakes decide my own fate not follow your disgrace

Its time you all take your own advice and stop pointing fingers
And as you all turn your back on me I will prove what I'm made of

Take back the bullshit that you've said
You're fooling no one but yourself
I know the answer lies inside
But now I have to say goodbye

And now I have to say goodbye
Say goodbye

And now I'm moving on
And now I'm moving strong
And now I'm moving on

Its time you all take your own advice and stop pointing fingers
And as you all turn your back on me I will prove what I'm made of

I will prove what I'm made of
Don't turn your back on me

09. Lost

I'm running circles around my illusive head
Looking for an answer, a reason
I'm trying to figure out who is alive or dead
Is it me or is it everyone else instead?

Take a picture remember what I have said
Its in your mind don't ever deny

As I look into your eyes, I fear we are so blind
We're lost till the end of time

Never wanted to hear what they say
Never wanted to believe them anyway
My vision, this is my own

I'm looking for an answer I can't understand
Getting lost within myself
The human mind can never see or comprehend
If there is meaning to life after death

As I look into your eyes, I feel we are so blind
We're lost till the end of time
As I look beyond the sky, I see another life
We're lost till the end of time

We can be confused and question the life we ensue
I cannot describe this feeling I hold deep inside

What is there after life? Is this what we call life? How can we be so blind?
What if this is our lives? The pain we hold inside, in death we all will die

If it's our only life, don't waste all of your time, live life before you die

10. Revision

See through the face of a thousand lies examine what your shown
Mass media will hide the truth don't believe what you're told
Their hidden agenda decides the way we live our lives
Deception clouds your mind now open your fucking eyes

Now we all must fight
And take back our lives
Now its do or die
Aggression is justified

It's your will for oppression that leads us to die in vain
We are the countless deceased laying buried beneath your flag

See through the pain of a thousand eyes acknowledge what you stole
Our nation built on lies wont stand for this anymore
Another fallen victim dies for what they thought was right
Regression builds inside now open your fucking eyes

Now we all must fight
And take back our lives
Now its do or die
Aggression is justified

Hate we will not enslave ourselves we must save population
Take back all of our rights

Now we all must fight
And take back our lives
Now its do or die
Aggression is justified

It's your will for oppression that leads us to die in vain
We are the countless deceased laying buried beneath your flag

11. In Repair

I can't believe your face as I'm walking away
This image in my mind I can't erase

Its taken from the hands of fate (I can't believe your fate)
This sorrow implicates
An understanding of my hate (These words you can't erase)
Pure black inside
Right now I'm facing the end

Holding back the reason while you stare
These eyes cannot repair

Freedom shining through
Blind by all your fear

Its taken from the hands of fate (I can't believe your fate)
This sorrow implicates
An understanding of my hate (These words you can't erase)
Pure black inside
Right now I'm facing the end

Holding back the reason while you stare
These eyes cannot repair

12. Escape From Reality

I'm reaching deeper inside myself again
To find the words to use
If I had one more chance I would realize
This isn't fair to you

I swear there's a better life

You are the answer to all my pain
Escape from my prison
Now I can breathe for another day
Escape from reality

You see the regret in my eyes
Feel my sincerity hear my cries
I will not sacrifice my life
For this uncertainty
I will choose what's right, what's mine

I swear there's a better life

You are the answer to all my pain
Escape from my prison
Now I can breathe for another day
Escape from reality

Surrender my apology
Even though we'll never be the same again
I have no reason left to say
Don't ever doubt that I am here to stay

13. To Remember

Since when have you been confined to a worthless state of authority?
I'd rather chose a life designed for the free not owned by money and greed

Since when have you been so blind been enslaved to the corporate machine?
I'd rather take this life into my own hands not trust in conformity

Desensitized
Castrate the minds of the weak
Now visualize
Corruption lies and deceit

I will decide how to live my own life
When I die you will remember my name
There's no time to throw away your pride
Live your life as if your last was today

Live your life

Now step aside
Give us chance to revive
Our nation suffering
Never wait to decide

I will decide how to live my own life
When I die you will remember my name
There's no time to throw away your pride
Live your life as if your last was today

And when the end is here to stay
We'll have nothing left to say
This world is lost we'll fall apart
I'll die with you today
