01. Jekyll Island

Music & lyrics by Jon Schaffer
Secrecy, conspiracy, tyranny, slavery

An act of stealth, a silent coup d'etat
Corrupted leaders hijacking freedom
Acting in duress, these ill-designing men
Frame the master plan to enslave a nation

Secrecy, conspiracy, tyranny, slavery

The sinister design to fleece the common man
A massive Ponzi scheme, the cancer of our land
This is the land of Oz, research it you will see
The men behind the curtain are scared of you and me

Usury, conspiracy, tyranny, slavery

The Creature from Jeckyll Island
The system hijacked freedom's brightest hope
The Creature from Jeckyll Island
Corruption is the cause of all our woes

Call it what it is, these global bankster rats
Arrest them and their pawns, we'll take our world back
I'm here to tell you now, you better take a stand
Before we lose it all, enslavement is their plan

Usury, conspiracy, tyranny, slavery

The Creature from Jeckyll Island
The system hijacked freedom's brightest hope
The Creature from Jeckyll Island
Corruption is the cause of all our woes

We know that you manipulate the markets and blow out the economy
You create recessions and depressions
So that you can consolidate and steal wealth from the middle class
We are awake and we will rise up!
The answer to 1984 is 1776!
We are agents of free humanity
And we are here to stand against your tyranny!
End the Fed! End the Fed! End the Fed! End the Fed!
Educate yourself, who really runs the scheme?
Who causes all the wars? Who really pulls the strings?
Andrew Jackson said, "By God I'll rout you out!"
And if we stand as one, we'll cast the demons out!

Usury, conspiracy, tyranny, slavery

The Creature from Jeckyll Island
The system hijacked freedom's brightest hope
The Creature from Jeckyll Island
Corruption is the cause of all our woes

02. Don't Tread On Me

Music & lyrics by Jon Schaffer
Rising to the challenge is the first step that you take
Are you a free spirit or a slave?
Are the institutions that have molded our minds
Pushing an agenda filled with lies?

Have you ever asked yourself why things never change?
The rhetoric they speak is all the same
The men behind the curtain and the illusion they create
Pull the puppets' strings and seal our fate

Watch your step around me
I'm trying to live free
Push too far
We will strike, like a snake coiled up in the night

Until we looke beyond the throne where the power structure lies
We'll fight amongst ourselves as freedom dies
The only hope for human kind lies in solidarity
The strength in our numbers sets us free

Watch your step around me
I'm trying to live free
Push too far
We will strike, like a snake coiled up in the night

03. False Flag

Music & lyrics by Jon Schaffer
Never thought I'd feel this way
I wanted to believe
The Founders are turning in their graves
At what we've come to be
Tactics that destroy our freedom
And civil liberties
Propagates never-ending war
For profit by the elite

Beware
False Flag

You can fool people some of the time
But you can't fool me
The Constitution can't defend itself
So you're gunnin' for guys like me
Well bring it on, we'd prefer it straight!
Instead of lies and deceit!
But be aware that we know your game
Our numbers you can't defeat

Beware
False Flag

Where do you think this will lead?
Open your eyes and see
Where do you think this will lead?
They're buildin' a killin' machine

You like to think it can't happen here
Open your eyes and see
Hijacked by a group of thugs
And criminals in D.C.
Don't let them intimidate you
Fear is how they feed
No matter what they throw our way
We must defend liberty

Beware
False Flag

Where do you think this will lead?
Open your eyes and see
Where do you think this will lead?
They're buildin' a killin' machine

Hail Caesar! All Hail!
Hail Caesar! All Hail!
Hail Caesar! All Hail!
Hail Caesar! All Hail!
Hail Caesar! All Hail!
Hail Caesar! All Hail!

04. Our Dying Republic

Music & lyrics by Jon Schaffer
All at once I felt tremendous weight
As if my chest was going to cave
The tears that fell left a stain
The world we know's enslaved
I know it's hard to hear
You better hear the words I say
If we don't act as one you'll see
The false prophets will betray

Our lives should define freedom
Our lives, to live in our own way
Our lives must define freedom
Or will we let them take it away?

Now awake, I face the task ahead
Will we march into bloodshed?
The Founding Fathers warned us
The coming threat, the web of debt conceals
Where are the Sons of Liberty?
Will the fascists have their way?
If we don't act as one you'll see
The false prophets will betray

Our lives should define freedom
Our lives, to live in our own way
Our lives must define freedom
Or will we let them take it away?
Rise up! To define freedom
Rise up! To live in your own way
Rise up! To define freedom
Or will we let them take it away?

Liberty or tyranny?
It's your choice to make

05. Indentured Servitude

Music & lyrics by Jon Schaffer
And as the weaving spiders
Spin their web of debt
Across the globe
The victims of deception will be met
Awake now and reclaim what's yours
Your freedom is at stake
It's time to bite the hand that feeds
Before they seal our fate

I see a time when the sovereign states will die
And what that means to me and you
From the guise of a massive global lie
We are the pawns of indentured servitude

Awaken from the slumber
The matrix you call life
The system is a travesty
The world order lies
The only hope lies in our consensus
Not of left or right
Sever the ties of blind loyalty
And see what's in plain sight

I see a time when the sovereign states will die
And what that means to me and you
From the guise of a massive global lie
We are the pawns of indentured servitude

06. Tree Of Liberty

Music & lyrics by Jon Schaffer
It's time to act quickly
Face what's ahead, Revolution's at hand
You must see
I pray it's with ballots
If they push us too far, bullets will rain
In the streets
We look to the Founders
Who inspire the cause when hope is but lost
To be free
We'll bring down the tyrants
Forcing their hand, bringing them down to their knees

Every now and then we see
The tree of liberty must be refreshed
With the blood of patriots and tyrants
The time has come again
The clash of free and tyranny will soak the Earth
With the blood of patriots and tyrants

Beware of deception
Listen not to what they say, but watch what they do
Valiantly
Convict them of treason
For selling us out, the destruction of our
Sovereignty

Every now and then we see
The tree of liberty must be refreshed
With the blood of patriots and tyrants
The time has come again
The clash of free and tyranny will soak the Earth
With the blood of patriots and tyrants

I pray this conflict will be settled peacefully
Violence will only feed what the system needs
Watch out! Don't tread on me!
I know there comes a time
When we've all had enough
Proceed with caution
Protect the ones you love
For the sake of liberty
You must fight another day
And when the time is right
You must push back and say
Watch out! Don't tread on me!

Every now and then we see
The tree of liberty must be refreshed
With the blood of patriots and tyrants
The time has come again
The clash of free and tyranny will soak the Earth
With the blood of patriots and tyrants

07. Feeling Helpless?

Music & lyrics by Jon Schaffer
Have you asked yourself
What difference can I make?
And are you feeling low?
Like you've been betrayed?
Well I can empathise
I know just how you feel
Revolution starts within
Your spirit reflects your will
I bet you've asked yourself
Do I have the strength?
Look around to those you love
In them you put your faith
Watch out for the tactics
Of division and deceit
Not until we stand as one are we truly free

You are alive and you are free
You're not alone
And without fear you're born to lead
These are the times
Just realize the truth you seek
You're not alone
No victims here, we must be free
These are the times

Stand up! Are you helpless? Are you free?
No more! Of the lies and the deceit
Stand up! For your nation's sovereignty
No more! To corruption and deceit

08. The Cleansing Wind

Music & lyrics by Jon Schaffer
Without distractions, far from chaos
One with nature, I see what I'm meant to be
As the winds wash over me
A chain reaction, I have awakened
To boldly question what I've been led to believe
My quest for true liberty

Cleansing winds have washed over me
And now I'm free
I hold the truth and all that it brings
And I will speak

It's time for action, break through the matrix
Restore the vision of life and your liberty
The truth shall set you free
The Constitution, real solutions
We must defend it, whatever the cost may be
The best hope for humanity

Cleansing winds have washed over me
And now I'm free
I hold the trush and all that it brings
And I will speak

09. We The People

Music & lyrics by Jon Schaffer
We the people must unite
Reject this global scheme
The thought of world governance
And the evil that can bring
The tactic of financial meltdown
The crisis that they need
All the nations of this world
Must defend their sovereignty
This will lead to war and chaos
And the excuse they need
A World Order dictatorship
From the patiently-crafted scheme

Corruption! The cancer that destroys us
Placate! They buy then bind us
Enslavement! Is there hope for those who falsely think they're free?
Cowards! They hide in ivory towers
Treason! Committed by the hour
Destruction! Without the Constitution, in bondage we will be

We The People
Surround Them
Rise up and seize the day!
We The People
Surround Them
End the tyrants' reign!
We The People
Surround Them
Are you free, are you a slave?
We The People
Surround Them
Lock 'em down and we'll have our way!

Tyrants! Complacency betrays us
Liars! Congress now enslaves us
Fascists! It's what we are now, do you really think you're free?
Power! They can't live and let us be
Terror! It's the tactic that they need
Deceivers! They have destroyed our freedoms and crushed our liberty

We The People
Surround Them
Rise up and seize the day!
We The People
Surround Them
End the tyrants' reign!
We The People
Surround Them
Are you free, are you a slave?
We The People
Surround Them
Lock 'em down and we'll have our way!

We, We The People
We surround Them
End the tyrants' reign!
We The People
We surround Them
Are you free, are you a slave?
We The People
We surround Them
Lock 'em down and we'll have our way!
