We’re living in a world where innocence is all but lost Where the kids run the streets with their hearts of hate Poisoning their minds with the choices they make Here comes the decay Of all human life as we know it We need to find, we need a better way. Follow the leader like a fucking sheep, we’re all caught in this web of fucking deceit Its just the blind leading the blind, and now we’re falling through the cracks Watch as the blind, they lead the fucking blind. And now we fall through the cracks, into the world of the dead, I’ll meet you at world’s end. I’m sick of hearing excuses we’re better than that. We’re better than, that I’ll meet you at worlds end. Where the sun meets the sea on the horizon

Isolation 03:19
I, I think I’ll hide in isolation. So I don’t have to see this world. Bound and broken down on its knees, with a noose hanging round its neck It’s pulling tighter and I can’t see an escape Suffocating at the hand of our mistakes. Are we a parasite? Do we take till there’s nothing left Spreading all our decay Till it strikes at the heart Crushing flesh from these empty bones We take and take till there’s nothing left What will it take to realize We’re just destroying ourselves We’ll take it all just to watch it burn We’ll burn it all to the fucking ground And when it’s gone will we finally realize We’re fucked We spend our lives Searching the darkness For a hope we’ll never find We’ll never find. So now there’s nothing left, we turn on ourselves. Betray ourselves Just full of emptiness we crumble and fall, We slip away From our humanity, we’re hunting like dogs, Like animals And now we wonder where the fuck we went wrong We spend our lives Searching the darkness For a hope we’ll never find I know we’ll never find A cure for The human condition

The Tyrant 04:04
You’re such a fucking mess, I never said what I wanted to say so here goes, as long as you’re here we will never be free We won’t be free We will never be free We won’t be free Bring it I won’t stand by To watch you destroy Everything we have worked for With your power hungry, hands There’s fucking blood on your hands With the blood of the innocent, you build your castle walls You’re just a fucking tyrant, a villain in disguise So we’ll rip that mask off, and expose you to the sun I hope you fucking burn, Bleh So many tyrants have tried to hold us down but every one of them failed as we ripped off their crown. Your repression is outdated your times at an end, It’s time to stand up, it’s time to rise. Against the masses, against the ones who hold us down. You can’t take, you can’t take our freedom You can try, but you will fail, I’ve seen the knives, that you’re pointing at our….Backs Your fear of the world, has distorted, your eyes. To the point where, you can’t see the lies.

When In Rome 03:03
Open your eyes, to the world we’re in Your false pretences won’t last too long We can see right through, you’re not fooling me you’re not fooling Anyone, with your ignorance You are so corrupt, that you’re blind to it So you say you speak for god Well I guess that means we’re fucked You cannot get past, your prejudice and hate You’re homophobic, your weakness lies in light But you still hold on, to the past you built from lies You’re so pathetic, you’re pitied and the fool But you cannot see, through the eyes of prejudice and greed Through the mind of corrupt bigotry Corrupt Bigotry, Plagues your mind There is no escape, for humankind We are the hunted Burned at the stake We’re victimized for our colour and race We are the hunted burned at the stake We’re victimized for who we are. Corrupt Bigotry, plagues your mind There is no escape, for humankind

You fucking liar, I won’t pray for my sins, to be forgiven when there’s no one to hear. These Words I scream at the sky, there’s nothing there just a blanket of lies. So did you think this would last forever, I bet you’re fucking laughing now. You fooled the world for so long, with your tale of the man in the sky. Your tale of a fucking man in the sky, they followed you without asking why I’ve heard it all over a thousand fucking times, so fuck you I’m done hearing your lies. I’ll choose my own path I’ll choose my own fate, cos when it ends I know There’s no messiah, there’s no heaven or hell And when we’re dead there’s no one saving our souls. Just let me float off in the unknown. Spread my ashes to sail on the seas There is no hellfire, there are no pearly gates There’ll be no angels, with halos on their heads If there’s really a god in the sky, just strike me down, burn me alive If there’s really a god in the sky, just strike me down, Just burn me alive I’m still alive Is there anyone there? I’m still alive There’s fucking nobody there I’m still alive I, I’ll choose my own path, I don’t need you tell me how to live I, I’ll make my choices, I don’t need you to tell me how to live
