1. WELCOME

Gentlemen! Welcome! You honour our island!

(Enter The Dragon Sample).


2. MYSELF THE MARTYR

Waking memory denied,
I made the mistake this time

Composed denial
Why can't I blame myself?
Is it pride?
Why can't I blame myself?

Take a look from outside
I reflect this anger
Ignorance is all I have
Can't myself the Martyr

Such a fucking trial
Why can't I make you happy?
Why can't morals restrain me?

Jekyll and Hyde
Take good with the bad
Though I shouldn't have

Take a look from outside
I reflect this anger
Ignorance is all I have
Can't myself the Martyr

Such a fucking trial
Why can't I make you happy?
Why can't morals restrain me?
Deny, it's my failure, to know you

I deny, I deny how much you seem to care
Don't play these games.

Deny
No Compromise
I Deny
How much you seem to care.


3. UNIVERSAL SOLDIER

Pity, those who lack the passion
To live a world that does seem so foreign
Narrow mind will prevent growth
Learn ones from a journey

Desire to spread my wings
And fly away
Away

This desire, like a burning disease
I can't quench this thirst for an adventure
Sometimes I feel I belong someplace else
Find myself someplace

Not hard to see that I am agitated
To hard to be trapped in here

How I want to escape this
I want to escape
How I want to escape this
How I want to escape this

Desire to spread my wings
And fly away
Away

Pondering on the impact of my presence
How can I affect this society
How can I affect it when I am only one man left true

No one can follow in my footsteps
Unquenched, regret
No one can follow me.


4. MINDS AND TONGUES

Telling, making up your mind based upon opinion
This is the whole bleeding your heart

Words of senseless, powerless dialogue, The collective minds of a few
Stagnating the ever changing

You spill, you spill and you spill and you pour
To cover your own lacerations
Your own bullet wound, bleeding no tears for me.

Words of senseless, powerless dialogue, the collective minds of a few
Stagnating the ever changing
Are but spilling out each time you throw you accusations
You follow!

It's always us against them.

Its always us against them
This is what makes you a child
Words of senseless, powerless dialogue, the collective minds of a few
Stagnating the ever changing
Are but spilling out each time you throw you accusations
Those benighted you follow.


5. SMOKESCREEN

For years discriminate for the colour of their skin
Or for economic situation
Smoke hides the lies
Smoke blinds the eyes

Spend millions controlling miles away
For corrupt administrations
Justify your betrayal
Corrupt administration

Smoke screen, you turn your back on them
Once more I'm sure that you'll do it again
Smoke screen, an act of negligence, won't forgive you
Smoke screen, no liability, won't forget you.
Choke screen, spit out your lies again, won't forget you.

Yet you failed to act, you turned your fucking back! x 3

War
Smoke hides the lies
Smoke blinds the eyes
On the aftermath of tragedy, uncovers racist mentality
Justify your betrayal
Corrupt administration

Smoke screen, you turn your back on them
Once more I'm sure that you'll do it again
Smoke screen, an act of negligence, won't forgive you
Smoke screen, no liability, won't forget you.
Choke screen, spit out your lies again, won't forget you.


6. BULLET HOLES IN A MEMORY

Could I ever kill that face?
Could I even kill the memory
Would I ever shut the light out
That once shined upon my face
Sentiment turned nightmares
And nightmares of now regret
I could never forget the way you tore my dreams apart
The kiss that tears my lips
Too scared to close my eyes,
My dreams of what could have been
Tear me apart
What was never meant to be
That's why I killed the memory
Sentiment
Resentment.
