Tracks



01. When Life Meant More...

I witnessed your death
You gave it up to the rape of indifference
Now take those dreams to die

So can you feel it now?
It's just that question of letting the end
Be the answer
Now... it's pulling us down
These days become years watching
Time disappear

Again, again, again
I won't give in

This is a misfits rejection
Of a life in submission
Your choice destroys
What life could be

You just sold out quick
Talk is some cheap shit
Can you remember the last time that your life
Meant more than fucking payments?
Know this... I quit!

Wealth means shit
Tell me what's right
You got the cash
But you're hollow within
So much worse than that mortal sin

This is it
This is my life
You can't buy me

Tell me I'm worthless
Because net worth
Determines a man
I won't give in

When slave wage brings chains made
To keep you conformed 'cause they can
I won't give in

I'll keep on struggling
Because that's the measure of a man

Right?

Your dreams are disavowed
So you must feel it now
It's just that question of letting
The end be the answer
Now... it's pulling us down

These days becomes years
Watching time disappear

Again, again and again

I will never let them break me down
These hands will never be bound

In greed you can drown
In greed you can drown

But I will still be dreaming
And I will still be fighting

What more can anyone say?
You have lost your way

02. Black Gold Reign

Will they see?
Will they hear?

Will they see this?
Will they feel this?
Will they hear the voice of resistance?

Or will they bring us down for their bloodshed?
Trade us all 'til black gold rains
Fought this fight, there's no end in sight
Except for our rights
Will they blind us all?

"Be all that you can be"
Forever in vain, our wasted beliefs
Erase the truth

So with that fall from grace
Will they burn it all down in an emphatic
Fading away
Fading away

To this time
To when we began
Forever from cleansing the blood on our hands
Release the truth

Destroyed in anguish
Another million faceless
And I wish we had eyes to view
Our demise

[Solo]

Tomorrow, together we rise
With their fallen disguise
We must hunt the despised
Thieves; high class murderers

Tomorrow, together we rise
With their fallen disguise
We must hunt the despised
Thieves; high class murderers

They can't taste this anger
That flows through our veins
A separation of our own god damned nation
That lets us die

Leaders that follow a golden tomorrow
They bleed us dry
We let them rise

03. Never... Again

You know
You hear those cries of anguish
Each time
That you face the mirror
And those deafening voices blames me
But that's more
Than I'm trying to hear

So let the pain revive you
Never let me get inside you

Never... again
Let's just oppress this
Demon within
The abyss is a friend
You breathe deceit
And I'm surprised
I still stand on my feet
You know that
I live
I breathe
Hate

Our days were agony
And therefore so tragically
There was satisfaction
Hate fucking in apathy

So fucking tell me
Were there days when things were so much better?
Before you were such a self loathing hateful bitch
Recognize the hell that you're spewing forth
What we might have shared is nothing anymore

What you said to me
Was never meant to be

Never... again
Let's just oppress this
Demon within
The abyss is a friend
You breathe deceit
And I'm surprised
I still stand on my feet
You know that
I live
I breathe
Hate

Our days were agony
And therefore so tragically
There was satisfaction
Hate fucking in apathy

Never again
Never again

Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again

Never again
Never again

04. The Ones We Left Behind

[Instrumental]

05. Awaken The Dreamers

Begin to light we must ignite
The creed to fight begin our night
Wake up the dreamers
We demand the need of rights

Begin to light we must ignite
The creed to fight begin our night
Wake up the dreamers
We demand the need of rights

In the dead of night a hero sets his sights
To warn of destruction
A call of arms begins the motion
There is no good bye no second glances
For in the midst
We, we see a glimpse
Of mass oppression coming to take our lives

They can't take our fight
We're living free of monarchy

[Solo]

Brothers take hands
It's our time to give this nation its only chance
Not one step back
A true man will take a stand
Liberty rings
Echoing through the streets
The beginning of everything
Take pride for this is the picture
We must live by or die, or die

They're coming
They're coming

(They're coming)
Begin to light we must ignite
We creed to fight begin our night
(They're coming)
Wake up the dreamers
We demand the need of rights

How can we sleep at night?
Knowing that were hidden by our lack of emotion
Just stoic disposition what robotic guise
Simply take time to remember our forefathers plight

How could we make light of such a momentous fight?
Could we ever make ourselves right?

Don't stand for another moment wasted
Don't stand for another moment wasted

06. Memories Of A Glass Sanctuary

I drove away another word to value
So I'd grow without you
Still I wake up in your arms
Dreams have lost their charm

Hanged and torn
I live through this
Though it's through
I'll save it all away

Memories of a glass sanctuary

07. Stabbing To Purge Dissimulation

How have you lost touch with this?

You are a lie, you're digging such a grave
Gimmicks sell, but what's the cost of this?
You make me cringe to think that this is to become
Their place where the judgement ends
And now betrayed is where they lay

Letting hatred build the failing of your system
It's their turn to send you
Flailing and burning into hellish dissention

Loathesome talent
Fleeting
Rehashed bullshit makes you all not worth a piss
Bound in your false pretense
We laugh at this as it slowly becomes your end

It's how...
It's how you live the end

Can't believe how you have lost touch with this
They mourn the loss of valiant fools, all glam and glitz
Come back, last chance to take a useful stance
Instead of just saying to say things
That you biggots wish for but won't ever have
No chance

They are the ones who bring life to us
Fucking family
How could you betray them?
What money?
Tied with your platinum chains
Fuck, you're cheap
Bought for a few pennies
Now you're all just empty
Fucking souless machines

Rip you apart
As they scurry around at your feet
Leave you to wither as if you ever meant anything
Your death gives breath for new breeds

They'll crawl back into the new hope for all
Left you forgotten, while you lay there rotting
Back at your burial ground

08. Gagged, Bound, Shelved And Forgotten

Denied, a whisper, a voice to try
To fill the chambers destroyed by lies
Feels were faking, our power is draining
Out of our hands

Don't
Don't let them take our nation
Let
Don't let them take our nation
Them
Don't let them take our nation
Take

Our nation
Leaving us drifting through falsehood
Redemption is gone
They tell us that were fine
That we choose our rights
Our choice is a fight
What fucking lies
They slay our minds

This is for penance
This is for silence
Blunt force reminds us
We all are taking the fall

And if they think they've won, they better think
They fucking better think twice
We've degragaded to violence

We own
More than you'll ever know
We own
The streets and your fucking home
Us not them
I've tried, waiting for help
For an answer, for some savior
They have no hope left to sell

So don't let them take
So don't let them take our nation
So don't let them take
So don't let them take our nation

Today
Let's rise to reach
For that tomorrow that lives inside you and me
I would die fighting for that day

Today
Let's rise to reach
For that tomorrow that lives inside you and me
I would die for our day

09. Until The End

Hope has never felt this way before
Wasted so much time
And so much more that I let go
Let it die
Let it go

I would ask you why
But it would kill me just to know

To know your ending
Is just the beginning
My bloods draining
That beautiful mouth
Drinking it down
The truth is found with me
Six feet under ground

Hope has never felt this way before
Wasted so much time
And so much more that I let go
Let it die
Let it go

I would ask you why
But it would kill me just to know

Is this dead or will it live again?

This derails my thoughts for bliss
Too bled to triumph
I was left here powerless
Powerless

In your vengeance lies my strength
And I will see this 'til the end

This derails my thoughts for bliss
Too bled to triumph
I was left here powerless
Powerless

[Solo]

Burned in my sight every night
Every night
I hope to see this to the end

Burned in my sight every night
Every night
I hope to see this to the end

10. From So Far Away

[Instrumental]

11. Misery's Introduction

[Instrumental]

12. Songs For The Damned

You
Just call me the living dead
These songs fuel my lust for her flesh
Just hymns for a heart that's a bloody mess

I guess we lived like the dead
Did we stay young 'til we died?
Are just clarified and classified?
I still see the summer sky
Has stripped, raped and strangled ever made you cry?

Our black metal hearts drown in black water parks
Damnation delivered us back to the start

They feel like songs of the damned
Cursed forever, undead...I am
Once upon that crucifixion
We reigned in blood like death had risen
We destroyed the opposition

Our black metal hearts drown in black water parks
Damnation delivered us back to the start
Are my arms your hearse if these metaphors stop?
Without these songs, I would just be so lost, so lost

When she rides
I'm stuck in that horror hotel
Cursing all 20 eyes
When she rides (when she rides)

Well it's 2 minutes past the midnight hour
And you hate my voice like sugar coated sour
Caress that carcass, I miss your heartworks
My swansong, so insalubrious

Pouring sweat but the fever remains
It's all pretty odd but more our darkest days
'Cause we let it burn and felt strength just the same
I don't care if you get it
These songs still scream your name
