Endworld 05:34
lyrics

Visions of a burning world dance in my mind We’re racing toward our doom We’ve built our own tomb These skies are coloured grey I can’t remember the light of day Haunted, cursed; it can’t get worse The plight of mankind has conflicted our minds Words of ruin hanging at the edge of my tongue Living it up in a lifeless land Humanity hangs by a strand I wander the plains of despair Searching for a reason to care Our avarice causes depletion Our desire overpowers reason Destructive habits will not be dropped This momentum cannot be stopped The reckoning brought forth the cleansing The final chapter comes ever faster An endless decline: It’s the end of the line My visions are clear: The end draws near When the waters came; we swam When the flames came; we ran When the plagues come; we’ll withstand Hold on tight for the fall of man I’ve searched so long for a sign I’ve scoured the wasteland for a glimmer of hope I’ve grown weary; wishing for an end For a glimmer of light shining in the distance When the waters came; we swam When the flames came; we ran When the plagues come; we’ll withstand Hold on tight for the fall of man Tonight’s the night we make our stand It’s fight or flight in this wretched wasteland A sudden return to where we began

Population Control 05:37
lyrics

Dominated by fear Watchful eyes and surveillant ears Rounded up like a herd of cattle The cost of freedom is the shackle Submit to indoctrination Pay for your incarceration Big men with bigger guns Patrol the land of a thousand suns A police state running out of time Sweeping streets and fabricating crime A sad era for all mankind The only escape lies within your mind How much more can they take away Piece by piece, liberty has gone astray Restrain us so we can’t flee Blind us so we can’t see Keep us busy and hungry Crush our desire to be free Punishment is not the answer Locked and loaded justice hammer Everything looks like a nail A paradise in eternal jail Exercise your own free will On the list of who to kill Stay quiet 6 feet underground No witnesses to be found How much more can they take away Piece by piece, liberty has gone astray Restrain us so we can’t flee Blind us so we can’t see Keep us busy and hungry Crush our desire to be free Force-fed lies as medicine Sterilize the specimen Idolize a mind prison Hypnotized incarceration Sell your soul to population control How much more can they take away Piece by piece, liberty has gone astray

Born a Savage 04:52
lyrics

Be a dull boy Like a clueless little drone Manipulated little toy Delusional on your throne We’re all supposed to obey Sit pretty and stay Not ever, not today I will see through to this decay I was made for intensity Never cared to have it easy Some say I’m a little crazy That’s all that ever made sense to me Always tempted by anarchy Holding back the state of fury Today’s the day you’ll get to see How much of a savage I can be Born a savage Torn and ravaged Born a hostage Sworn to this heritage I was made for intensity Never cared to have it easy Some may say I’m a little crazy That’s all that ever made sense to me Always tempted by anarchy Holding back the state of fury Today’s the day you’ll get to see How much of a savage I can be Born a savage Torn and ravaged Born a hostage Sworn to this heritage I tried playing nice in a world cold as ice It put me in a cage boiling with rage Make no mistake, I’m pushing till it breaks Prepared for bloodbath, I chose the warpath Not built for the beaten path, I use my inner wrath My right of passage, I was born a savage You might think it’s all ego but really I just let go Of this dull reality built upon this fake society

Disciples of Discord 03:51
lyrics

Are you really happy? Drowning in monotony Choking on disinformation Cut ties with this fixation Become a mass disruptor Summon chaos and disorder Endure the short struggle Of watching your world crumble We bring balance To this fake existence Destroying what you thought you knew Reality never tasted true Your mind is about to crack There ain’t any going back Reborn as your ego dies Real eyes realize real lies Erase your reality, reset your mind, wipe the slate clean: Watch it all burn Ignore the pain and break the chain Stoke the flame and let chaos reign You follow against your will and swallow the red pill Erase your reality, reset your mind, wipe the slate clean: Watch it all burn Ignore the pain Break the chain Stoke the flame Let chaos reign

Eat Prey Love 04:48
lyrics

Consuming, complacent, a neutered cerebellum We’re rotting, dependant, brains become numb Witnessing the moment of a swung pendulum Worship the idol from your altar Recite the gospel of deceivers They sing the hymn in a state of stupor Obey the whim of a puppet master Repeating the same mistakes Sleepwalking through life convinced we’re awake We’ve let freedom be taken away Now we’re praying not to become prey Can’t be the slave that you want me to be Keep on pushing ‘till I can barely breathe Day in, day out: it’s all the same to me I found my purpose in eternal slavery Eat Prey Love Slave Endless consummation: eat your freedom Infinite entertainment: prey of freedom Constant distraction: love your freedom Willful enslavement: this is freedom Obey the sound of cracking whip Give in to desire to serve and submit Taming all minds for a lame existence Serve your purpose until obsolescence Eat Prey Love Slave Pre-breakdown: Repeating the same mistake Sleepwalking like we’re awake Freedom is taken away Praying to not be prey Obey the cracking whip Give in to serve and submit Live out your bleak existence Until your obsolescence Eat Prey Love Slave Can’t be the slave that you want me to be Keep on pushing ‘till I can barely breathe Day in, day out: it’s all the same to me I found my purpose in eternal slavery Eat Prey Love Slave Endless consummation: eat your freedom Infinite entertainment: prey of freedom Constant distraction: love your freedom Willful enslavement: this is freedom

Praying at the altar Caught under a spell Facing this new horror Toiling away in your own hell Feel the crack the whip Enjoy the simulation Dulled under a slow drip Stuck in this incantation

Tribe 05:01
lyrics
buy track
Savages in disguise Always holding back Ready to attack The sheep like a roaming wolf pack Sell me beautiful lies An ocean of posers Playing characters As the American dream is over Living in denial Portray the elite Feigning to be chic Royalty with no authenticity Worshipping false idols Pray at the altar Of your creator And raise your middle finger This is my tribe A sea of blinded slaves A sleeping nation Seeking salvation From self-inflicted incarceration Standing upon mass graves In power you drown Wearing a broken crown As your fake empire crumbles down Regain mind control: renounce the gospel sung by lost souls When the empire comes down the freaks come out to party in the fallout Send me your freaks, your rejected creeps I am the villain who frees the imprisoned We won’t be guilty, we will be free This is my tribe

Pat(riot) 04:43
lyrics

Hey, don’t you look away when your reflection stares back your way Safe in the comfort of your cage Never-ending are the wheels of hate Change seems obsolete: only room for your complacency Sit down, lay back and enjoy the ride Self-assured with a false sense of history False sense of history I stand alone with my identity The place that I once called home, no longer is Your sense of pride is a lie you live I chose my own path: can’t sell your culture to me Read between the lines the pages lost in time The heroes you never knew, the battle you never won, the story that keeps us in line Now fall in line Stride ahead never asking why Beliefs feed into this great divide Lies in the spirit of the times Illusions of a language war waging in their minds Losing my faith now: following the blind. Hearing all the same voices: they are not my kind. All they see is black and white: they see it in their minds See it in their minds

Deadened 03:56
lyrics

I’m dead inside: Desensitized Look deep into these hollow eyes I’ve seen it all: Empires stand tall But In the end, what rises falls Look into a mirror: don’t see myself at all Losing control of the demon inside me The devil that I know is yearning to be set free Losing control of the demon The devil that I know has been summoned Throw more bodies into the pit They’ll repeat it till the problem goes away A pound of flesh for a pound of gold Abandoned and poor now I fight my inner war Discarded empty shell Casualty in futility Wrecking crew will clean the mess The cost of doing business Look into a mirror: don’t see myself at all Losing control of the demon inside me The devil that I know is yearning to be set free I’m dead inside: Desensitized Look deep into these hollow eyes I’ve seen it all: Empires stand tall But In the end, what rises falls Deadened I was the solution Deadened Now I’m the problem Deadened I’ve lost my connection Deadened To my own reflection

Idle Hands 06:02
lyrics

Locked away and biding time Plagued with paranoia and fear The end product of idle minds I need no crystal ball to see it all clear Things look the same from where I stand As time passes by like trickling sand Feeding us exactly what we always crave As we all fall prey to those who enslave Rationality turned to a straw man At beck and call obey their command Become a pawn in the master plan The devil finds work for idle hands And there’s much work to do And there’s much work to do Empty halls of the mind echo the screams of mankind Kept too busy to see what it’s like to be free Truths reveal that we still don’t know how much is real Empty spaces lead the psyche to strange places Almost impossible to see if we’re in complete insanity My grass cut short to see all the snakes preying on me These Follow the rules Idle A government of wolves Hands Will control the fools Do the devil’s work These Look where we came from Idle And what we’ve become Hands Can it be undone? Do the devil’s work Hard times make strong men Strong men make good times Good times make weak men Weak men make hard times Souls ripped from our hearts and all I do is stare Bow down, bow down Everything falls apart and I don’t care Bow down, bow down Who can we believe and what do we trust Bow down, bow down We were are all deceived: Our dreams turn to dust Bow down, bow down

Necessary Evil 04:54
lyrics
buy track
Go ahead: sleep soundly Unaware of the evil in me Biding my time to strike swiftly I will show you no mercy I need not strike those undeserving of a rude awakening Take one long gaze through these eyes and one would realize Through submission we have quietly survived and begrudgingly complied Will you accept this necessary evil from your very own people? Justified by my own rules The lesser of two evils Go forth with this act of necessary evil No governance will ever guide me This act is necessary Go onward with this act of necessary evil Most wouldn’t dare get their hands dirty This blessed curse filters all that I see I wouldn’t wish this upon my worst enemy Some may call it evil but I call it necessary In this moment we end our silence Tipping the scale to gain perfect balance Swing away with justice’s hammer Go dethrone the grand balancer We will return the yin to the yang The false prophets will rightfully hang Go forth with necessary evil
