I wash my hands of the troubled past
A brand new feast and I trimmed the fat
Our time is precious, we start anew
The fruits abundant without you

A chance to deliver, prepared to attack
What's rightfully ours and we'll take it all back
No time for reflection, just time to proceed
A non-stop mission of force, and release

We won't be up-ended
And we won't be denied
Relentless revolution
Join us or step aside

A chance to deliver, prepared to attack
What's rightfully ours and we'll take it all back
No time for reflection, just time to proceed
A non-stop mission of force, and release

We won't be up-ended
And we won't be denied
Relentless revolution
Join us or step aside

The selfish remain in a world unjust
The wretched do pay for the power they lust
And they will feel when their world cracks
A blood red sky and seas of black

We won't be up-ended
And we won't be denied
Relentless revolution
Join us or step aside

Claws in so deep they're ripping through the other side
Lured into this trap with broken promises and lies
Conceal the taste of turpentine and serpent's kiss
On and on and on it never ends this fucking mess

Upon black wings another messenger from hell
The parasitic disillusion
Secrete the blood of life and left an empty shell
Reject the counterfeit transfusion

Claws in so deep they're tearing flesh and splitting bone
Left without a breath to rot and die there all alone
Their feast begins when you accept all hope is lost
Wear a crown of thorns until they nail you to the cross

Upon black wings another messenger from hell
The parasitic disillusion
Secrete the blood of life and left an empty shell
Reject the counterfeit transfusion

As sheep led to the slaughter
Trust in the devil's daughter
The well of poison water
The fever burning hotter
Is killing us all

Claws in so deep they've broken homes and severed ties
Offering their trust just like a spider to a fly
Deceptive truth lies in refuge behind the lie
Take and take and take until the day you fucking die

Upon black wings another messenger from hell
The parasitic disillusion
Secrete the blood of life and left an empty shell
Reject the counterfeit transfusion

As sheep led to the slaughter
Trust in the devil's daughter
The well of poison water
The fever burning hotter
Is killing us all

Like a freight train blow to the chest
You taste the backhand slap from God
But you say that nothing's new
You've lived a life of pain and loss
The scars you bare attest
To the trials you've overcome
But proud, you plant your feet
Where stronger men had to run

What do you feel inside
Under the wheels of life
A truce forgotten, a truce erased
This heart you've opened has already been replaced

Woke from a heavy sleep
With a call that broke you the news
You had to hear it twice and
Both times it ripped and pierced you through
So now you stand alone
Looking down upon this mess
Another day creeps by, yes
Another day, another test

What do you feel inside
Under the wheels of life
A truce forgotten, a truce erased
This heart you've opened has already been replaced

What you've gained from this life
Is nothing, dues remain
Take or give, makes no difference
You still feel the shame

What do you feel inside
Under the wheels of life
A truce forgotten, a truce erased
This heart you've opened has already been replaced

Now that push turned to shove, damn it!
And my mind is my own
Still you poke and you prod daily
With that off-setting harsh tone
And you thought that you had me
Underground with no doubt
Now the dirt lays on you heavy
Rusty blade cut that tongue out

Wise to your dealings
Wise to your games
Wise to the way you abrogate
The truth for self-gain

While the air keeps growing thinner
And my grip remains tight
Maybe now you'll reflect
On how you tortured me day and night
You saw my bones getting shattered
Along with my pride
And on that dreadful day
You watched my heart, empty out and die

Wise to your dealings
Wise to your games
Wise to the way you abrogate
The truth for self-gain

It's a brand new day
And it's a brand new crisis
But was it worth the win
When you see what the price is

You say the past is the past, huh?
Just water under your bridge
Well today that bridge collapsed
Upon the sea that won't soon forgive
And no you're not immune
And you've created this monster
Now you just walk like a fool
Into the arms of righteous anger

You build up your walls
And burn a bridge with every fight
Cast crippling stones that do
Offend with all of your might

And you're so convinced
Ignorant defense

Miles away the troops do roar
Closer to their goal
Cast away alone you plot
Temperamental soul

River of rapture
Cleanse me whole
Nullify this plague
River of rapture
Mend these bones
So broken, so displaced

You hiss out the blame
For your tough and common life
Yet you made this choice
Again to sit, not stand up and fight

Twisted point of view
Solely felt by you

Miles away the troops do storm
Closer to their goal
Cast away, alone you rot
Bitter angry soul

Rise up bleeding
Knock me down
I'll get back up again
Always pushing forward
And I'll fight until the end

I will hear your voice no more
And you won't have a choice no more
Yet I will choose to bend no more
And you can't condescend no more

Scorching down the mountain
With a roar of thunder
Ravenous undertow
That drags you under
Violent thrashing in the jaws of fury
Scathing hate from the one man jury

The final day
The final night
Devoid of sound
Absence of light

Valleys of grey
In a world so toxic
Slither through the muck
Of the now dead, once sick
Sniffing out prey
For the final cleansing
No allies, no love, too late for mending

Flowing from your skull
Like molten lava
The warmth of your blood
Heats the freezing horror
Shred fingers to the bone
Clawing walls unseen
Clinging to your faith
So god damn obscene

Rats strip the bones
Of vermin like you
Hypocrite supreme
As you preach your virtue
Scald of your charm
Now taste the backlash
Choking in a storm
Of human ash

Retribution, just solution
There's no other way
Haunted by your actions
Of which you have yet to pay
Caustic bursts of filth
That just spew out of that mouth
Bone splitting cold
Now that you have been locked out

Egotism, disillusioned
Can you see the end
Seditious to your family
And seditious to your friends
Tears of joy were she'd
On the day that you were born
ON the day you'll die
There will be no one there to mourn

And I thought by now you'd learn
Now it is your turn

Childhood choices
Adult divorces
You have paved your way
Strike another lady lover
See how long she'll stay
Embezzle money, coward, phony
You have brought this hate

Abomination, deviation
Start another war
Brothers stay and fight
As you flee out the back door

Isolation, desolation
Mercy I will lack
Cherishing the day
I lay you flat out on your back

And I thought by now you'd learn
Now it is your turn

Childhood choices
Adult divorces
You have paved your way
Strike another lady lover
See how long she'll stay
Embezzle money, coward, phony
You have brought this hate

Best be prepared to meet your maker
Best be prepared to face your god
Justified unholy nightmare
Crucified of pride, you're robbed

No escape, it's too late
The hammer crashes down
Do or die

Cauterize to stop the blood flow
Still this tortures just begun
Eternal seconds keep on repeating
Charred retinas, a black collapsed lung

No escape, it's too late
The hammer crashes down
Do or die

All your fears
Won't match the wasted years
Of isolation
In due time
I will ingest your kind
Quench my starvation

All present and accounted for
Hush! Do not speak
For tonight I raise a glass
To the death of the meek

We are the chosen
And we bare the sign
Their weapons are useless
Our weapons our mind

No you can't believe
How you will inspire
Soon set to be free
Our blessed desire

You won't be imprisoned
No, you won't be ashamed
You won't be stripped of your language
Or your family name

No more inner demons
No more bitter spite
No more of the blood stained walls
Of your ancestral pride

Comatose, your eyes grow vacant
A paralyzing fear that builds
Stripped of your pathetic icons
Robbed of your heroic will

Artifact, your way of thinking
Your bones hang up upon my wall
Another fallen empire
The most self-righteous one of all

No escape, it's too late
The hammer crashes down
Do or die

In due time I will ingest mankind
Quench my starvation

From the day they were born these brothers
Had sworn to be unified
Through the thick and thin no matter
Lose or win together till they die
Out to conquer the world, destiny unfurled
Before their very eyes
Forever living the dream or so it seemed
Beneath the hidden lies

Look to the left and right
The enemy in sight

They will earn your trust
They will call you brother
They will be your friend
Then turn and trade you for another

In the days of the sun they were killing
As one solid death machine
No one stood in their way, but the price
To be paid yet remained unseen
Then along came the rain bringing
With it the pain and disarray
The colors started to fade turning into
A grey shadow of yesterday

Look to the left and right
Attack by day or night

They will earn your trust
They will call you brother
They will be your friend
Then turn and trade you for another

Lies - Corruption - Self-Indulgence
Greed - Deceit - Wolves in the sheep

They will earn your trust
They will call you brother
They will be your friend
Then turn and trade you for another

Your thoughts attack
You made your bed
You moved your king, now rest your head
The cutting edge
Or so you think
Your thoughts are ancient, your ways extinct

What do you want
What do you need
Just stay away
And leave me be
Stand by your choice
I stand by mine
You chose the ground
I chose the sky

The choice to break
No choice at all
Stung by your venom, chained to walls
Black clouds above
The sun is grey
Bad luck surrounds us just like prey

What do you want
What do you need
Just stay away
And leave me be
Stand by your choice
I stand by mine
You chose the ground
I chose the sky

Now go and roust
Your little group
And go convince them of your truth
They'll see your best
No doubt, at first
Until they see you at your worst

Sick and tired of living with this grief
Done with all the sorrow and the pain
Asphyxiated can no longer breathe
Anesthetized until I've gone insane

So carry all this baggage when you leave
Swallow all those bitter pills you take
Blame it on the world, blame it on me
Tolerated too much of your game

Temperamental, unpredictable
The sky turns black when I exhale

A change of weather come around too much
A sign of a deeper cut
Lying dormant on a bed of nails
Without warning, violently erupt

So bleed the molten river from my veins
Collapse upon myself, disintegrate
Shame upon the world and shame on me
Hate the player but don't hate the game

Temperamental, unpredictable
The sky turns black when I exhale

So condescend and patronize my lead
Persecute the innocent again
Rain down on the world and rain on me
Ticking like a bomb that's got your name

Temperamental, unpredictable
The sky turns black when I exhale

Back to the grind
End of the line
Back to the life I knew
Pain deep inside
Swallow my pride
Still I think I'm losing you

Nearing the end
More than a friend
What the hell can I say
Years left behind
Trapped in my mind
Wishing for another day

Fool proof, no bail, locked inside
(Scaling the rafters)
Tight restraints, my hands they're tied
(Taking the bastards)

Slave to the cause
Breaking the laws
No more common decency
Must be a sign
You're doing fine
So much better without me

Learn from the past
Always the last
Wonder when will my day come
I'll never quit
Won't submit
Hoping that you'll be the one

You may try to break us down
Can't you see we're here to stay
Scores of them have tried before
At our feet is where they lay
It's our calling
Scream! Rage! Mauling!
Can't you see we're breaking out
Overloaded, so explosive
Cathartic, vengeful shout

Dreaming of flight
All through the night
What the hell does it mean
Float in a flood
Thrive in the mud
Black sheep anomaly

Rise to the task
Breaking the fast
Feeling for the first time whole
Charging the fight
Light up the night
Forever I will live my goal
