You want to see me fail
You won't get your chance You want to see me fail You won't get your chance You'll never get your chance This is our lives This is who we are You can't put a price on it It's strength within our hearts From within our souls Stood strong throughout the years This runs through our veins We stay true to ourselves (You want to see me fail...) Who are you to judge us Who are you to condemn us I have respect, honour and dedication For my family and friends From within our souls Stood strong throughout the years This runs through our veins We stay true to ourselves (You want to see me fail...) This is thicker than blood Its all we have Proven!!! 02. Perseverance Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
I know your fear of loss
And your struggles with faith And how it takes everything that you have to face the day The virtues you possess now bring you eternal pain All you have is contempt for a life you can't obtain All your heroes have failed you Yet you try and prevail Face your torment and dismantle your doubt Refuse this legacy of shame and deceit Cause the only real truth in your life that you know is hostility Your world is coming apart Remain steadfast Perseverance Against all opposition Crushing all limitations Pure strength through solitude Discipline and determination You can't accept what you've been told Anchored in sin you must reverse your descent Declare the weight of the world has yet to claim you And admit that your faults will not restrain you Glimpses of fate bring light to your despair Realise hope isn't short of your grasp Resurrect every dream that you've buried alive And never succumb to the war that you fight in your heart Your world is coming apart Remain steadfast Perseverance Against all opposition Crushing all limitations Pure strength through solitude Discipline and determination. 03. You're Never Alone Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
This is for the kids who have no where to turn
Who have nothing to live for You think you haven't the will to persist You have to search within yourself All the work that you've done in vain Been overlooked and taken for granted Only you can end your suffering You must be honest with yourself You have nothing left to lose You feel that everyone's out to get you Been beaten down but the hate still breathes Confined by consequences, it's your soul you must release It's our struggles that define us And the hardships we endure Your spirit can't be broken now You've come too far All your life You told yourself you were never alone All your time Spent on the problems that have no solution In your mind Giving up was never an option Out of spite Hold onto the hate that has helped you stay focused You are one but you're never alone You can't atone for every promise you've broken In this moment there's no way you will fail You must be honest with yourself Use your pain to achieve your goals Make amends while you can and stay focused You can't be burdened by your lack of control Never stray from the path you have chosen (It's our struggles...) (All your life...) (This is for the kids...) This spirit can't be broken [x3] It's who you are (It's our struggles...) Forever Forever Forever convicted [x2] 04. I Will Be Heard Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
Now is the time for me to rise to my feet
Wipe your spit from my face Wipe these tears from my eyes Now is the time for me to rise to my feet Wipe your spit from my face Wipe these tears from my eyes I've got to take my life back One chance to make it right I've gotta have my voice be heard And bring meaning to this life Cause I've trusted for nothing I've been led astray I've been tried and tested But I won't accept defeat Now I've done things I regret And its time to reverse the rules I just want to make good on All the promises that I have made I will be I will be...I will be heard I will be...I will be heard Now is the time for me to rise to my feet (I will be heard) Wipe your spit from my face Wipe these tears from my eyes (I will be heard) Through the worst we prevail So our voices will be heard Through the worst we prevail So our voices will be heard Through the worst we prevail So our voices will be heard Through the worst we prevail So our voices will be Now is the time for me to rise to my feet Wipe your spit from my face Wipe these tears from my eyes Now is the time for me to rise to my feet Wipe your spit from my face Wipe these tears from my eyes I've got to take my life back One chance to make it right I've gotta have my voice be heard And bring meaning to this life Cause I've trusted for nothing I've been led astray I've been tried and tested But I won't accept defeat Now I've done things I regret And its time to reverse the rules I just want to make good on All the promises that I have made I will be I will be...I will be heard I will be...I will be heard Now is the time for me to rise to my feet (I will be heard) Wipe your spit from my face Wipe these tears from my eyes (I will be heard) I will be!!! 05. A Call For Blood Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
Your reign of terror is coming to an end
And all your victims' pain will be avenged Taker of innocence, I want your demise Tear you apart for the unspeakable things you tried to hide I fucking hate you Every bone in my body will ache 'Till I destroy everything you love And fill your life with their pain Ten long fucking years I waited to erase all the memories And you can't fucking stop me My vengeance is finally born Ten long fucking years Your reign of terror is coming to an end And I have no mercy for your soul Your blood is on my hands A call for blood For what you've done No tolerance (for what you've done) A call for blood For what you've done No tolerance (for what you've done) All their anguish, all their pain All their nightmare, all their misery It's all coming back to haunt you Your time is up and you've no where to hide (I fucking hate you...) (Ten long fucking years...) (A call for blood...) No fucking tolerance. Let the blood spill Vengeance is born [x2] A call for blood. 06. Below The Bottom Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
Half dead, you trod through life
So dependent, a shell of a man Pitiful, you let your vices tell your fate Follower of the blind, you have nothing. My empathy has turned to rage. My pity has turned to hatred. In selfishness you've sunken to the depths. How much lower can you go? All virtue decayed, now a memory So many friendships lost. Only enemies. Shame I feel for you, pain I feel for you. To cleanse yourself you've got to let go. Are you not alone now? Are you not what you've become? I want to give you the strength to overcome. The strength to reject those who brought you down. Take a look, take a look at yourself. What do you see? What have you become? You've gone below the bottom. Take a look, take a look at yourself. What do you see? What have you become? You've gone below the bottom. You've taken their lies as your own. Tried to justify your own hypocrisy. You bear the mark of consequence. You've lied to yourself, you've lied to me. You've betrayed your own soul. Sacrificed all you were. In selfishness you've sunken to the depths. How much lower can you go. (All virtue decayed...) I want to give you the strength to overcome. The strength to reject those who have brought you down. Take a look, take a look at yourself. What do you see what have you become? Take a look, take a look at yourself. You've gone below the bottom. 07. We Still Fight Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
Talk of the causes you support
Voice your misdirected views You only comment on the things you don't have the power to change Do you even think before you speak Do you know what it is you condone? Take a look at the world today You've taken your freedom and safety for granted How do you justify (you have no right) The way you disgrace those who gave their lives And how do you justify (you have no right) The way you disrespect those whose loved ones died. Everyday is a different crusade You revolt from the safety of your fantasies Privileged, you've never fought for a thing You'd be the first to go if there was real anarchy All your jargon makes me sick You're the farthest thing from an activist You've lost sight of what's important and real You've taken your freedom and safety for granted (How do you justify...) Kill! This is dedicated to all those who gave their lives to uphold their beliefs Not to those who try to demean their sacrifices You have no right. For those who fought our rights and for those who gave their lives. And for the families whose love ones died. It's their honor for which we still fight. 08. Unloved Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
When it all ended
There was no where to turn I hid inside myself hoping someone would find me That day never came As the years passed the pain lessened I thought your voice would silence forever I was wrong This time there's no turning back Emerge from a doorway at the end of a war inside my soul There's no picking up where we left off And there will not be a future I've died so many times inside I've accepted this pain And I won't look back now I never will You don't know You don't care You never have and you never will [Repeat: Chorus] You made me realize Everything I've ever known of love was pain And the person you once were Has died and rotted away I've lived with this knife in my heart As a reminder of what I can't be I know all I do is hate you There is nothing you can say or do You were never part of my life And you never will be Unloved! 09. Bloodsoaked Memories Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
Those wounds have been revealed
Clawing through this wasteland No emotion lives, suffocate on hope Swallow your last rational thought It tastes of every heart you've devoured Your veins constrict, they are choking you Wrapped in vanity, you're dying. Unveiled by searing hatred You gasp for life, you can't hold me now I've let you go, bleed into obscurity Clawing through this wasteland No emotion lives, suffocate on hope Swallow your last rational thought. It tastes of every heart you've devoured Your veins constrict They are choking you Wrapped in vanity, you're dying! 10. Hollow Ground Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
From nothing we have risen and from nothing we still rise!
Take your life back Fight, fight Will you fight to take your life back? Ask yourself what's truly yours in life Are you in control or someone's slave? All that you cherish, all that you love In the blink of an eye can be taken from you In moments of tragedy we bond And in weakness clarity thrives I've been blessed with the inspiration To take what little I have and always strive Sometimes surviving is all that you can do I never claimed to have all the answers of the solutions My satisfaction is knowing that my desires will not be killed With a readiness to defend what is mine and never compromise The foundation of our lives Built on hollow ground We must unlearn the prejudice We must unlearn the lies I've seen the calloused I know the jaded I've been disheartened, I've lost control But I never crumbled in the face of adversity And I always force myself to believe (The foundation of our lives...) Built on hollow ground We must unlearn the prejudice We must unlearn the lies Are you willing to fight? Are you willing? (Take your life back...) Fight, fight Will you fight to take your life back? 11. Final Prayer Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
Destruction - in its purest form
No limit to the vicious damage done Corruption - injustice with no remorse Heinous disregard, our future's uncertain But as life comes from the earth It must return to the ash Cleanse ourselves of those vile traits And crawl back from annihilation Worthless We shatter lives Ruthless We decimate the earth Final prayer Final Prayer for the human race, we know our time is running out Millions of people will suffer and die; by the hands of those in power Final prayer Final prayer for the human race You must bow to your knees and repent for the human race Awakened To the blood stained face For a world that can not be changed Forever reminded Of a nightmare that is every passing day Worthless we shatter lives Ruthless We decimate the earth (Final prayer...) 12. Smash Your Enemies Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
I hope I'm alive
To witness your demise Make you feel my sorrow Encompass all my pain That I've felt for years Dreading each dying day Hanging by a thread On the edge of my sanity When I wake up the real nightmare begins Will I make through my time in living hell? Do I possess the strength to smash my fears into the ground? I've tried to be strong I've tried to overcome but I don't think I possess the strength to carry on I'm torn between, and there's no right choice I've gotta fight back I won't be scarred for life. Bring it up! 13. Healing To Suffer Again Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
I won't be chained to the earth
I feel cheated, so I cheat myself I feel defeated, so I defeat myself Drown my sorrows again and again Push away and deny this misery These feelings and instincts remain I'm struggling to pull myself from my grave. Let me be the one with the infinite Let me be one Let me be the one with the infinite I won't be chained to the earth I won't be chained to the earth (I feel cheated...) (Let me be one with the infinite...) I just need the will To suppress the urge I can't suppress the urge I've build so many barriers I'm healing to suffer again Time has given me no remorse Spiritually bankrupt Just give me the grace to oppose this sin Haunted by the things I've done Is this guilt and shame the price I pay I hate myself for this weakness I won't be chained to the earth. [Rpt:] I won't be chained to the earth. 14. Judgement Strikes Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
Worthless, is what you made your life
Failure, is what you set yourself up for You don't have the power To realise your dreams Now you want to take from me Jealousy seethes through your callous words So content you're visionless Void of emotion I pray for someone to release me from your grasp It's evident, your guilt It's evident, that this judgement strikes down on you Unbreakable - and you're guilty Unbreakable - I'm not going down without a fight You try to break my world You breached our trust to destroy me with lies Now you've fallen you're nothing again Live my hatred, its you I despise Live my hate. 15. Remain Nameless Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
If there's one thing in this world that I must do
It will be, to prove you wrong Make you take back the lies And bring the truth to the surface Clean my slate and erase All the black you've Tarnished my name with This is conviction Of what I have inside you will never possess And because you never understood how I lived You try to disrespect Well I've paid my fucking dues And everything I have I've made from nothing I've done this all on my own That's more than you can say for yourself You disrespect the way I live You take apart what I say You try to judge me Now I'm judging you You disrespect the way I live You take apart what I say You try to judge me Now I'm judging you This time I'm judging you The harder you try and break me The harder I push on If there's one thing in this world that I must do It will be, prove you wrong You never believed in this And you never would admit your fault You've always had everything handed to you But the wealth has finally run out I knew from the beginning You had no heart or soul I've always seen through your lies And I'll always hate you for what you are You disrespect the way I live You take apart what I say You try to judge me Now I'm judging you You disrespect the way I live You take apart what I say You try to judge me Now I'm judging you. [x2] This time I'm Judging you. The harder, you try to break me The harder, I push on. 16. Outro Music & lyrics by Hatebreed
