1. LACK OF CULTURE

American culture doesn't even exist at all.
When what we read, watch, and listen to
Is controlled by corporations.
Independent forms of art will never be accessible
To those who don't question.
(why dullness is shoved down our throats
and how we are unable to live free
without the ability to expand our minds)
Free form censorship and cultural design.
Every aspect of our limited culture was designed
To control and put our minds on patrol

Your magazines, books, and Cd's are worthless.
And were created by uninspired people
To be unstimulating and bore you into submission.
Where your only real stimulates serve
To numb the pain of capitalist rule.

American culture, or lack there of


2. FLOOD OF KINGS

If god is all around us, I hate everything.
If this is trust, I don't see anything.
Can't feel, can't see, can't breathe
In a land ruled by kings.
How can I ever breathe
If the flood of kings will never leave?

7 plagues, 7 reasons not to worship a tyrant.


3. BOX OF NEED(LES)

Another's reality exhausted all your dreams.
I'll scatter your ashes on television screens.
Quit living on the edge of your seat when you can live soaring off your feet.

Stress, take time to shake it off – lethargic, gotta work it off.

(Are you dipping your hands in the box of needles)

Cause once you do, you can't take it back.
Your hands will ache till you can't grasp the fact.
That once you do, you can't take it back.
Too numb to itch because your hope turned black.

The scenes change but life stays the same.
At the crown of the flame you're still just a name.
Quit living chained to your seat when you can break free and flourish on your feet.

Betrayer, turn it off.
They wanna kill us off.

Are you dipping your hand in the box of needles?
Cause once you do, nothing stays gold.
Strangers are dangers for you to extol.
You sold your heart to the beast ablaze.
There's no hope for better days.

No faith and no hope.

Mindless.
Gutless.
Heartless.
Loveless.


4. CROWN OF THORNS

How long will our emperor wear the crown of thorns?
As long as he who sits upon the throne wears horns
How long will it be till we reclaim the throne?
As long as love remains cold like stone.

There is no escape from the chains of oppression
No hope of light outside the walls of depression
The highest peak was overcome by the flood of kings
The final grains of salt, stolen on vulture wings

To those adrift who can't find shore, no land is worth searching for
To those lost who can't find home, no shelter will make you feel less alone.

Heaven's sky will rain
Reign black
Heaven's sky will forever reign black as the notion it's not hours to take back
The power has always been ours!

When your mind is darkened with doubt, you can't find a way out
When your greatest sea droughts, there's no way out.

Defend the crown
the power belongs to free minds, not those who lead the blind
Defend the crown

But the problem is there's no way out
No way out


5. PLAGUE OF INSECTS

No strength to carry on, carry me, carry me
I feel your hand slipping and it's scaring me
All my dreams have died
Push mountains and I'll sing into their valleys and subside

Difference is yet to hold hands
While we swim like fish and fly like birds, we are still yet to hold hands
Our greatness was gathered into an oasis
Which the plagues stirred t he sands and swarmed us in it's barren lands.

The sea of tears swallowed us in its tide
Facing death, no reason to go on
No one tried
You were my waking breath
you were my hope of those facing death

No strength to carry on, carry me, carry me
I feel your hand slipping and it's scaring me
All my dreams have died
Push mountains and I'll sink into their valleys and subside

I am withering life
Angel carry me through trauma and strife
For i am dying faith in love, hope, and life
Carry me in the comfort of angelic wings
I've spent seasons of no springs.

I hope you find new home in dead dreams
Where in fading heart, new light gleams
For when there i s no light, one can't live dreams
The plague of insects swallowed our last screams.

There's no savior in you
There's no savior in me
There's no savior in anything.

There's no savior.


6. PRIDE OF LIONS

And all her beauty you have turned so vile
Oh daughter of Zion

Can love and hope ever conquer the power and pride of lions?

Unholy, desolate, and war torn
Her lands could steal no breath

If you swallowed your pride you would choke to death.


7. CURSE OF GOD (PART 1)

Grim heart
No love, no life, no light
Dismal days fade
Angel take flight

Through the hurt she takes, and her heartbreaks
She must realize,
She is the power of a thousand earthquakes

Awake
Extinguish the torch of two thousand years oppression
Which burns with her depression.
Cast its remains to the void
Her chains are destroyed
Devour the wretched in their own scorn
At last, love is reborn
Strolling alone at night in fear,
Like her freedom disappeared.
Devour the swine in their own scorn
At last love is reborn

I will always be there to comfort you
To feel you, to understand you, and love you
At last love is reborn


8. FOUNTAIN OF LIFE (PART 2)

As long as the fountain of life can't flow, no man will ever know what it's like to have to struggle through life in constant strife.

Where they feel superior and empowered, i feel humbled
And where they see failure and weakness, I see beauty and grace through the bleakness

I will fight for you when their power strikes you down
When on your back and no help's around
When your courage has been so degraded, no hope is found.

1 out of 3
Our sisters aren't free


9. LION OF JUDAS

I once felt your embrace shroud me in bright days,
I spent in ignorance, bathed in golden sunrays
But with every light comes a dark gloom,
and I sensed cold under the silver glow of the moon There's no second coming
No hope at all
God watches us crawl and will watch humanity fall.

There's no greater good or strength to gain from a diabetic son
So why has god given my family more than one?

You wouldn't seek answers from ghosts of sheppards
So why are we speaking to ghosts, speaking to clouds, and burying doubt into the conformity of crowds?
I'd rather be in this cold world, all alone, than to feel the warmth of drones worshipping the throne.

So we're singing the songs as loud as the bombs that rain on Babylon
We flooded the streets when we crumbled the gates, And washed away all filth and hate.

Stop starting at the sky when you live on earth
The sun will burn your wishful eyes blind
So stop staring at the sky when you live on earth.

I felt your hand slip away and betray
And to those who've left me lonesome and dismayed,
I've found the strength to walk away.

but

Even on the brightest of days the darkest of shadows still follows

In a world of snakes all we have is each other
In a world of rats all we have is love for each other.

Even on the brightest of days the darkest of ghosts is hollow.

Oh lion of judas, you were once betrayed
Oh lion of judas, still no one is saved.

Betrayed – Betrayed us all

Oh lion of judas, oh king who betrays
Oh lion of judas, still no one is saved.

2000 years later and still no one is saved.
