At World's End

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

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

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 Your repression is outdated your times at an end, It’s time to stand up, it’s time to rise.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

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
