1. BORN IS THE ENEMY

Cold and freezing
Holding nothing
I did all this for you

Don't even call me your friend
You will not lose in the end
I see in front of me
Born is the enemy now

Cold and freezing
Holding nothing

I did all this for you
Now there's nothing left for me to do

This is the start of something new
Stains of your guilt are left for you
I see in front of me
Born is the enemy now

Cold and freezing
Holding nothing

I did all this for you
Now there's nothing left for me to do
I did all this for you
Now there's nothing left for me to do

Down - down - down
You're trying to bring me
Down - down - down
You're not gonna break me

I did all this for you
You're going down
I did all this for you
You're going down
I did all this for you
Now there's nothing left for me to do

You're going down


2. IGNORANCE OF BLISS

Come down to earth he mentions
Full of his best intentions
It's now time for an occupation
Time to make some money with that education

Come down - to ground
Mortgage bound - so proud

Can't you see - these dreams will never end themselves
Set me free - I will find the beauty of this world

Come down to earth he mentions
Full of their blind intention
It.s not time for a inoculation
Time to make some money with your new foundation

Come down - to ground
Mortgage bound - so proud

Can't you see - these dreams will never end themselves
Set me free - I will find the beauty of this world

Tied - tied
Tied - tied

I won't be tied down - I won't be tied down
I won't be tied down - I won't be tied down
I won't be tied down - I won't be tied down
I won't be tied down - I won't be tied down

Can't you see - these dreams will never end themselves
Set me free - I will find the beauty of this world
Can't you see - these dreams will never end themselves
Set me free - I will find the beauty of this world


3. THE BLOOD OF ANGELS

Take this meager offering
Accomplice to your conspiracy
Break down my configuration
Hoping to find a better day

It's never what they say
It's never what they say
It's all about the silence in-between

Into a pain that works for me
The blood of angels
Behind a door we learn to bleed
The blood of angels

Make this another sacrifice
Affording the vulture's appetite
Bring me a slice of consolation
Knowing that there's another way

It's never what they say
It's never what they say
It's all about the silence in-between

Into a pain that works for me
The blood of angels
Behind a door we learn to bleed
The blood of angels

The blood of angels

All this had to bring around my ignorance
All this had to bring around my innocence

Into a pain that works for me
The blood of angels
Behind a door we learn to bleed
The blood of angels

The blood of angels
The blood of angels
The blood of angels
The blood of angels


4. COUNTDOWN

I now see you through your own eyes
You are more than you realise
I can't explain what you can't see
But you are all that fills me

Countdown counting down for me
All roads are leading to your town
And it's some place I've never been
Countdown counting down for me
Please don't seduce me with your smile
Because I'm only human

Countdown to you

Countdown to you - I try not to
But I'm only falling faster
Countdown to you - not supposed to
But I need you here forever

It's not like this is meant to be
You are so much better than me
I can't explain what's happening
But I'm losing this fight

Countdown counting down for me
All roads are leading to your town
And it's some place I've never been
Countdown counting down for me
Please don't seduce me with your smile
Because I'm only human

Countdown to you

Countdown to you - I try not to
But I'm only falling faster
Countdown to you - not supposed to
But I need you here forever

Feel a way home but you never
Feel a way home but you never
Feel a way home but you never
Feel a way home but you never

Down - down
Down - down

Countdown to you

Countdown to you - I try not to
But I'm only falling faster
Countdown to you - not supposed to
But I need you here forever

Feel a way home but you never
Feel a way home but you never

Feel


5. PRISM OF YOU

My life's been holding it's weight beneath a blackened sky
So hard I've worked just for the dreams to pass me by
Now when the time is right for me to win this fight
You come along with all your bells and whistles

Head above my head - I'm in above my head
Head - I'm in above my head for you

It's way too early or late but never comes in time
Is this the hell I get for all my other crime
No matter how I try I can't look in your eyes
I need to turn away before this fills me

Head above my head - I'm in above my head
Head - I'm in above my head for you
Head above my head - I'm in above my head
Head - I'm in above my head for good

Why

Turn away
Turn away from this pain
Turn away from this pain
Turn away

I wrote this song for you
But you'll never know

It's way too early or late but never comes in time
Is this the hell I get for all my other crime
No matter how I try I can't look in your eyes
I need to turn away before this fills me

Head above my head - I'm in above my head
Head - I'm in above my head for you
Head above my head - I'm in above my head
Head - I'm in above my head for good

Why


6. END OF DAYS

Is it a piece you want or is it peace you want
Is this your fatherland - is it the holy land
Am I your enemy or a best friend to be
Will you meet up with me over the weekend

All they say misconstrue
Word of war without proof
Can't you see I'm like you
Brave

I will not live in fear
Even with the bombs in sight
I will not disappear
This is the beginning of my life

Is this a holy war or an oil power war
Is this another phase - is it the end of days
Am I your enemy or a best friend to be
Will you meet up with me over the weekend

Precious days of our youth
Now a war what's the use
Can't you see I'm like you
Brave

I will not live in fear
Even with the bombs in sight
I will not disappear
This is the beginning of my life

With all the pain and suffering
Brought from the choices they make
How can we close the gap this has got to end

Another fake democracy
Fills our children with hate
What are our choices when it's us or them

I will not live in fear
Even with the bombs in sight
I will not disappear
This is the beginning of my life


7. SEVERANCE DAY

Call this restitute - call this open truth
Call this my salute - call this severance

Call this retribute - call this misspent youth
Call this my abise - this is my severance day

My way

And it's all of my soul that I give
And it's my way

Call this non-dilute - call this ill repute
Call this tainted fruit - call this severance

Call this over-shoot - call this double proof
Call this my uproot - this is my severance day

My way

And it's all of my soul that I give
And it's my way

My way

Take my way
And it's all of my soul that I give
And it's my way


8. SELLOUT

Well it's safe to say your credibility
Went without your sensibility
All that's left are memories of
What you were supposed to be
I never I never I never wanna be
I never I never I never wanna be
The sold out lich that you are
Not even God can save you

How did you get conceited
This is the price you pay
What will you do defeated
Sold out sold out

Well it's safe to say your credibility
Went without your sensibility
All that's left are memories of
What you were supposed to be
I never I never I never wanna be
I never I never I never wanna be
The sold out lich that you are
Don't you know that they hate you

How did you get conceited
This is the price you pay
What will you do defeated
Sold out sold out
Where was your sense of reason
We didn't get a say
Wronged by the tides of treason
You sold out sold out

You're a fucking sellout lich
You're a fucking sellout lich
You're a fucking sellout

Sell - sellout
Sellout - sellout
Sell - sellout
Sellout - sellout

Sellout

How did you get conceited
This is the price you pay
What will you do defeated
Sold out sold out
Where was your sense of reason
We didn't get a say
Wronged by the tides of treason
You sold out sold out

You sold out - sold out


9. SEPTEMBER

He never talked about it yet it remained
And the emotion of it again betrayed
How could he hold his head high
He never talked about it again

He said - let yourself be born again
He said - all you were is all you'll be

He couldn't live without it before the rain
There's not regret about it while in the fray
He took a spoonful of pain
He didn't think about it he said

He said - let yourself be born again
He said - all you were is all you'll be

You'll go your own way
First Sunday of September

On this great day
On this great day
On this great day
On this great day

You'll go your own way
You'll go your own way
You'll go your own way
You'll go your own way

He said - let yourself be born again
He said - all you were is all you'll be

On this great day
On this great day
On this great day
You'll go your own way
On this great day
You'll go your own way


10. BEGGARS WITH KNIFE

What you wanna do
What you wanna see
Is it not the truth
That you want from me
Now you walk away
Filled with dignity
and your lies

These lies they wield with knives

No - another lie
No - another knife
I'll never let this pain be my enemy
No - another lie
No - another knife
You'll never be a part of me

Now you've seen the truth
Felt a part of me
What is it you spew
When you're on the street
Now you walk away
Filled with dignity
And your lies

These lies they wield with knives

No - another lie
No - another knife
I'll never let this pain be my enemy
No - another lie
No - another knife
You'll never be a part of me

How could you promise the fruits of yesterday
I won't hold you - hold you

Will I concede - will I concede
Will I concede

No - another lie
No - another knife
I'll never let this pain be my enemy
No - another lie
No - another knife
You'll never be a part of me


11. SIBLING

I needed a song for you
It's not too easy being so fucking positive
When your life is filled with pain
I know it's been hard for you
But now you're old enough
To find the strength within

Believe me it's wrong to do
All of that wasted time inside
Just to do it all again
I know it's been hard for you
But now I've had enough
You've got to learn to swim

Come down do this for me
Pick yourself up and breathe in
But now I've had enough
You've got to learn to swim

Your feelings of hate for you
Are pretty fucking hard to shake
When your past is filled with shame
I know it's been hard for you
But know the time has come
You either sink or swim

Come down do this for me
Pick yourself up and breathe in
But now I've had enough
You've got to learn to swim

Sink or swim
Sink or swim
Sink or swim
Sink or swim

Sibling

Come down do this for me
Pick yourself up and breathe in
But now I've had enough
You've got to learn to swim

Sink or swim
Sink or swim
Sink or swim
Sink or swim
