Deceive me
Release me Unleash me You've unleashed the wild within Welcome to the madness that dwells inside these eyes Pushed onto the breaking point, you're running out of time This innocent blood is on your hands Deceive me Come face to face with the final stand Release me It's the part of me you can't comprehend Unleash me You've unleashed the wild within The wild within You who spoke defiance, you who spoke in jest The last of all my tolerance has left this broken man This innocent blood is on your hands Deceive me Come face to face with the final stand Release me It's the part of me you can't comprehend Unleash me You've unleashed the wild within I remind you time and time again You've broken the restraints against your heart Against the dark Can you feel the pain of those you betrayed The promises I've made Broken hearts that fill with shame And you're to blame Do they call your name? There's nothing left to say Nothing left to say This innocent blood is on your hands Deceive me Come face to face with the final stand Release me It's the part of me you can't comprehend Unleash me You've unleashed the wild within 02. The Signal Fire
No more following this endless maze
Separation will define the new way What's broken is what leads us all astray The chosen are renewed in amnesty Broken hopeless the state of all our fates Revolted woken lead us from this place Nowhere to hide - strength realigned The signal fire's alight Given to fight - there's hope just in sight The signal fire's alight Can we walk a mile in another's shoes To determine what we have to lose Disconnection of a common reality Becomes so lost in this world of hypocrisy Nowhere to hide - strength realigned The signal fire's alight Given to fight - there's hope just in sight The signal fire's alight Alight This is our beacon to deliver us all To guide us away from this decay of humanity Nowhere to hide - strength realigned The signal fire's alight Given to fight - there's hope just in sight The signal fire's alight Alight I won't give up this fight - alight The signal fire is alight 03. Us Against The World
This day will resound in our melodies the voices of fate
A testament to all we hope for They will learn of the passion and tragedy that lies in wait when they stand up - stand up against the onslaught Nothing could ever tear us apart Our spirit is never ending I'll be the protection when you fall Our spirit is never ending So tell them it's us - us against the world This catastrophe will serve to redeem our purpose Do you believe they could never come between us Our spirit is never ending I'll be the protection when you fall Our spirit is never ending So tell them it's us against the world It's us against the world The saga unfolds the legends of old will guide us all The crack of the skull the blood and the soul we heed the endless call Our spirit is never ending - never ending I'll be the protection when you fall Our spirit is never ending - never ending So tell them it's us against the world It's us against the world 04. The Crownless King
Abolition to this illusion
And all the monuments of hypocrisy Burn them, burn them to the ground Destroy them, they're useless to us now Tear down reminders of a crownless king This impostor claims authority Indignation is closing in You choose a war - a war you cannot win No one, no one can save you now Cast down, where no mercy can be found No willingness to bow to a king without a crown Where the virtuous can't be found Defy you, to the depths you descend I defy you, to the death we defend Defy you, your rule will come to an end I defy you, you've become the crownless king The penitent pray for the downfall of your - of your reign The warrior soul shall break the hold of constraints in the end you will suffer Defy you, to the depths you descend I defy you, to the death we defend Defy you, your rule will come to an end I defy you, you've become the crownless king This storied confusion distorted and diluted Will come undone when the balance shifts And the framework breaks - the framework breaks To the depths you descend Become the crownless king Defy you, I defy you Defy you, we defy you 05. I Am Broken Too
You carry this weight trying to cover your mistakes
To make it seem like nothing could ever break you But I see right through, 'cause I am broken too In all the same places as you And if you needed proof, I'll reopen my wounds Reopen my wounds, yeah I see myself in you (In you) I know you can make it through If you needed proof, I'll reopen my wounds In all the right places for you So now you see the truth that you are broken too I'll reopen my wounds for you I keep making the same mistakes, just to feel alive again It's the only way to break on through So stop numbing all the pain 'Cause it just won't go away (Won't go away) If you only knew how much I needed you And if you needed proof, I'll reopen my wounds (My wounds) In all the right places for you I can see the truth 'cause I am broken too I am broken too (Broken just like you) 06. As Sure As The Sun Will Rise
Lay your hands upon me
Give me the certainty to fulfill my destiny Fill my soul with light As it courses through my veins like a river after rain Healer seeker true believer Summon the storm to smite deceivers Through the perils we face - we overcome Through the treacherous days - we overcome Nothing stands in our way sure as the sun will rise again Take my words let them feed humanity A sacrifice to demonstrate A willingness to take the hate And use it as our strength Healer seeker true believer Summon the storm to smite deceivers Through the perils we face - we overcome Through the treacherous days - we overcome Nothing stands in our way sure as the sun will rise again We gave our souls to the will of the fates tonight With honor the brave will live far beyond this life Pulled from the darkness reborn in light Through the perils we face - we overcome Through the treacherous days - we overcome Nothing stands in our way sure as the sun will rise again We overcome, sure as the rising sun 07. Know Your Enemy
Bow down to no one
Resist the system Lost in uncertainty, divided in our strife No comprehension of the conflict of our lives Become enslaved in a technological haze In the crosshairs of a weapon that dissuades our brains The target is in sight Mental imprisonment They'll take you down from the inside (Inside) Self-destruction on command Resist and fight back Our minds under attack Destroy their authority And know your enemy Protest, demonstrate We must retaliate Bow down to no one And know your enemy, yeah Locked and loaded, waiting to explode (Explode) Pawns of illusion subjugating to control Resist and fight back Our minds under attack Destroy their authority And know your enemy Protest, demonstrate We must retaliate Bow down to no one And know your enemy It runs much deeper than you think You'll never see who pulls the strings You've got to know, know your enemy Force-fed illusions In this world of confusion You have to know, know your enemy The target is in sight Bow down to no one Resist the system Bow down to no one (Bow down to no one) Resist the system and fight back They can't subjugate a mind that's free No more force-fed reality Resist and fight back Our minds under attack Destroy their authority And know your enemy Protest, demonstrate We must retaliate Bow down to no one And know your enemy They'll take you down from the inside Resist and fight back And know your enemy 08. Take Control
In the darkness swallowed into the night
Trapped in the clutches of my indecision Falling further past the point of control So desperate to cast away this feeling Cry out for rescue Cry out for relief and give me peace There must be a way to stifle this decay There must be a means - means to an end When the fear and panic takes a hold You must take control When your sorrow drags you down below Take control - take control No more wallowing, battle my constraints I'm the sinner and the saint When the fear and panic takes a hold Look within your soul When your sorrow drags you down below You must take control Your strength will unfold Take control I must find a way So my words can penetrate And I pray that you understand You understand your pain someday When the fear and panic takes a hold You must take control When your sorrow drags you down below You must take control Look within your soul Take control 09. Ravenous
Flesh from flesh
To bring forth this endless quest This endless quest Yearning for something to consume A long lost spirit to exhume A hunger burns in me An all-consuming voracity Flesh from flesh (Flesh from flesh) To bring forth this endless quest Staring at your countenance To seek beyond impermanence Lost in translation, misconstrued Forgive them all for what they do I'm ravenous (I'm ravenous) Ravenous In this vision beyond impermanence Ravenous For an undying truth in all of us Cut down deep below the dermis Unwound from the tangle of indoctrination Break down the message and the purpose Fall down to my knees in demarcation I choose a life defined by evolving belief A truth undefined is where I will find my peace This undying desire Ravenous In this vision beyond impermanence Ravenous (Ravenous) For an undying truth in all of us Ravenous (Ravenous) For a new form of consciousness 10. I Can't Be The Only One
I never knew the words to say
At a loss as the world was falling around me I see that look upon your face Feeling so desperate as we count down to dismay How did it ever come to this? Pick up the pieces and know something's got to give Don't lose your faith (Don't lose your faith) Try to believe (Try to believe) That the ends will justify the means Divided we've become, this fight has just begun But I can't be the only one Together we overcome with a truth they can't outrun But I can't be the only one I see that look upon your face (Your face) Feeling so desperate as we count down to dismay How did this come to be? There's so much more to this than what we all see, yeah Don't lose your passion (Your passion) Don't lose your love, yeah It can't just be only me (Only me) It must be us in unity Divided we've become, this fight has just begun But I can't be the only one Together we overcome (Together we overcome) With a truth they can't outrun But I can't be the only one Not getting through this on my own What have we become when there is no love? I gotta believe that things will change And I believe things will change Divided we've become (We've become) This fight has just begun (Just begun) But I can't be the only one (Only one) Just begun (Only one) And overcome (Only one) But I can't be the only one United, we overcome Undivided, we are the sum But I can't be the only one 11. Bite The Hand That Feeds
Swallow the sun in shadows as they suck out the marrow
The hopeless suffer in the fear of tomorrow We count the cost to measure it against our loss The sacrifice of the innocent Separation The lie from the truth (The lie from the truth) Our division is our proof We can't allow this to stand Oppression on demand Led by liars and thieves As desperation bleeds They brought us to our knees So bite the hand that feeds All their poisonous belief Lead us only to grief Led by liars and thieves As desperation bleeds They brought us to our knees So bite the hand that feeds Altercations spread through violent sanction Mother, give your children to the beast The battles of the poor will soon be called to war For the wealthy and their war machine We can't allow this to stand Oppression on demand Led by liars and thieves As desperation bleeds They brought us to our knees So bite the hand that feeds Pushed to the breaking point Awake from your slumber Kick back the shroud that humanity's under The beckoning call of our so called masters Subjugate us to the brink of disaster All for what cause? (All for what cause?) To perpetuate their endless wars We can't allow this to stand Oppression on demand Led by liars and thieves As desperation bleeds They brought us to our knees So bite the hand that feeds All their poisonous belief Lead us only to grief Led by liars and thieves As desperation bleeds They brought us to our knees So bite the hand that feeds Where do we go from here? We won't go quietly It must be the end of apathy We let go of the grip of our sanity What would you, what would you kill for? What would you, what would you die for? What would you, what would you kill for? What would you, what would you die for? |
