The organized slaughter of the innocent
Can't you see this is a hellish state we're in No sympathy in their hearts at all At the death camps in our midst Execution without a trial Think about that for a while The day they're doomed they're doomed to be killed So your foul desires can be fulfilled Execution without a trial No regret for life at all Meat hooked conveyor belts line the walls Don't it remind you of Buchenwald You don't even see the genocide I can see you only care for your own hide And because of the ignorance that clouds your mind You've left your compassion so far behind You don't even know what it involves Because you never see the bloodshed on the walls Conditioned since childhood kept you from the truth They just go on lying and poisoning the youth It's time to be intelligent and open your mind Reach within yourself and see what you find Do you really wanna be responsible For the brutal slaughter of the animals 02. Only One Music by Flanagan, Paris M Mayhew
I'll never forget when I looked in your eyes
My destiny unfolded to me You tucked my soul, delivering me From all of my pain, setting me free I know I lost control, my mind was in a rage But then you came to ease the pain You are the only one, who makes me feel this way This is not hard for me to see The only one who makes me feel this way When I hear your name there is no more fear You're in my heart this is so clear They'll be no more pain, once I join you again I'm begging for you, to pull me through When I hear your name, just your name, when I hear your name I won't forget the way I felt when I first looked in your Lotus eyes For the first time in my life I could see what I must do, I need to be with you, yes you, you are all I need Your everlasting love for eternity You are the only one who makes me feel this way This is not hard for me to see 03. Crush the Demoniac Music by Flanagan, Holland, Mayhew
Ignorant fools don't believe in the truth
They are doomed to live in illusion and fear Cut loose the doubts that arise in your heart The time of redemption is near Now in these times of frustration and anger We've come out of the darkness that kept us blind With the torch and wisdom and the sword of knowledge We'll leave the corruption behind Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac Gotta wipe out, gotta destroy, gotta crush Demoniac Demoniac reigns in their hatred and anger And all of the sin that they bring In the lie that "true" happiness can be found In the pursuit of material things Polluting our minds and corrupting the masses With pride false attachment and greed We've seen through their lies and there's no compromise We know that it's time we were freed The Demoniac who are lost in themselves and have no intelligence Engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world No we won't, no we won't, no we won't ever serve their demands Cause we know, cause we know, cause we know the Lord and his plans Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac 04. Then and Now Music by Flanagan, Hines
God has taken me for a life of crime
Misery and suffering and losing my mind Trying to succeed but I was so very blind There's no material pleasure that can satisfy time Serving my sensed with no hesitation Never even thinking of my situation Been smashed so many times and it made it so clear That I was only living in illusion and fear It's time to advance towards a spiritual state Instead of serving your senses falling victim to fate The strength is there inside you, it's never too late So don't be lead astray by illusion and hate I'm telling you, you gotta believe in him Nothing else can save you, open up your eyes, see the light Hear the truth, nothing else could set you free Be brave, be strong, you can't go wrong Be brave, be strong, you can go on 05. Days of Confusion Music by Flanagan
In these days of confusion much illusions try to get you
Try to trick you every single day Much aggravation and frustration, devastation always heading my way And I know why I'm sufferin', looking for satisfaction my mind keeps leading me astray And I know and I see spiritually there's gotta be a better way Can't get distracted from achieving the ultimate goal in this human life No desire to play those games no desire to cause any others grief I've seen the lies I changed my ways And I just wanna make my stay here brief No satisfaction just bad reactions on this dangerous path that I've traveled through, And I look back inside my mind and thank God for the things I still didn't do I look around I see the shape we're in And i know I gotta stop living in sin I guess I must have lost my mind For how else could I ever be so blind I've felt the pain of defeat I've thrown myself at your feet I've turned my back on what I used to be I'll follow you to eternity Once again you made me strong Now I know I can go on You are the conqueror of my fears You are the reason I am here 06. Down But Not Out Music by Flanagan, Mayhew
The youth of today, run wild in the streets
They all try to win, in the face of defeat They still, they kill, they're going straight to hell They don't hear and they don't see that they're not free When I walk down these city streets I see the victims and the casualties Do they stand, a chance today In a world that's thrown their away They race to the grave Don't want to heal Don't want to be saved Abandoned buildings that should be homes Abandoned children left to roam Broken families broken dreams In the night I hear their screams Can't make your future or kill your past With a spike in your arm or a shotgun blast Till you have the strength to look within You'll be fighting a battle you'll never win Mortality suffered society said That money is God and true faith is dead I see it in their eyes this life they cannot cope The system tells them lies, tries to stick us into giving up hope We're down, we're down, but we're not out There's still time to find what life's about Is there a way of telling the troubled youth That what they see on TV is not always the truth We're down, we're down, but we're not out There's till time to find what life's about 07. Fugitive Music by Flanagan, Holland, Mayhew
In this lifetime I know I found what's real
So hard I try to control my mind I'm coming back, coming back I feel it in my heart I know I lived a life of strife And this could be the last chance in this Ad I know I got to change my ways I know there ain't no compromise I can be livin' a life of lies Life of lies and I know I gotta change my ways Time's gonna get you got you it's creeping up on you It's time to do the things I've always known I had to do I try, yes I try, how I long to be with you again In this lifetime I see you everywhere The pleasure and pain was all to my gain I tried so hard looking so far My faith this is my courage I must go on I call to you savior of my soul help me please I'm just begging to see the line that's drawn Between the good and bad And I know I've got to change my ways When I recall the things I've done I can see I was completely mad I know I cannot change my past But with you I could change my destiny How I long for you to set me free 08. Age of Quarrel Music by Flanagan
In this iron age of hypocrisy
The war against the weak goes on continuously Can't you smell the bodies burning Taste of death in the air Not for a cause but just for greed Mad scientist experiment in torture and in pain Murdering the helpless who's this meant to gain Polluting creation the air the land and sea Making this world a hell of toxic misery For the benefit of man they interfere with nature's plan Can you tell me what is going on I look out my window and what do I see Junkies, gangs and rape and poverty Don't you see the signs things are out of hand Don't you think it's time we gotta stop This modern age so full of grief I've turned away from it's belief I watch society digress And it just looks like one big mess I can't believe the things I hear and see In this world there's no remorse Now's the time we must change our course Those of us who've seen the way Must stand and fight for a brighter day |
