Lyrics


1. ADMIT DEFEAT

We try to outrun the process
Try to outrun the gun
There's no escaping a new awakening
Conflicted in everyone
They drip feed up answers
What next will they crave?
They're wrecking a future for all
There's no escape

Admit defeat

Explain yourselves
You're sacrificing life for your own gain
In a prison with no bars
Empty vessels and broken hearts
No one knew
That we would go this far
It makes no sense
To go on

I can see no other way out of here
We are the lost in a world full of fear
Blind to injustice extracting life
Birth and death get twisted
Born in chains

Well they tried to take back my memories
Tried to take back myself
There's no forgiveness for mutilation
They're caging in everyone
They make all the rules
Yeah it's all just a game
They're wrecking a future for all
And human waste

I can see no other way out of here
We are the lost in a world full of fear
Blind to injustice extracting life
Birth and death get twisted
Born in chains


2. DEGENERATE

Lives dismantled
Piece by piece
Shout!
Before our eyes
Powers disguise the truth
While we decline

We are useful idiots
And every time we think it's gonna change they're fuckin with us

Disaster makes them grip
Much harder round our necks
Discontent is all around

Having lost all physical and mental qualities
I'm not considered to be normal or desirable
I will degenerate back to a mindless fuck like a decaying human parasite
Life's suicide

Why have all of our rights been violent in their deaths?
Why are we are so benign and motionless on request?
Oh when did they cease to protect individual rights forever we need
They're breaking us up from inside

They start by erasing our memories to claim riches like spinal sinews tearing.
Old cultures replaced.
Invent new history we forget what really was
in the struggle of man against power man will fall every time

Why have all of our rights been violent in their deaths?
Why are we are so benign and motionless on request?
Oh when did they cease to protect individual rights forever we need.
They're breaking us up from inside.

This is the day, this is the day we all die.
This is the day, this is the day we all.
This is the day, this is the day we all die.
This is the day, we leave this sick world behind.

Why can't I take a piece of your life, a piece of your life.


3. DOXA

This is the reason why I can't sleep tonight
They're killing on my left
Dying on my right

Everywhere I look fills me with fear
Beliefs I once had become so unclear.
I dare to rub out the lines draw from a new idea
But I'm stuck in this prison
Stuck in this prison
No one can help me break free

Born sick commanded to be well
Stuck in a losing struggle
It's a dark existence meaningless and cold
Impossible to escape from

Trapped inside this fist of rage
Held down by the hand that made me
There is no escape while the shepherds block the gates

Now do I qualify for survival
I don't fear death like an American idol
Are we the ones that have to bleed
What luck that we don't think

Silent screams who wants to testify
Instinctively we try to hide
Breathlessly I hope to re-design
How I think amongst all these painted smiles

Nothing is set in stone
We fuel the machine that feeds of the death of our own
Nothing is what it seems
We follow the trend that keeps us in time
What is real?

Nothing is set in stone

We fuel the machine that's feeds of the death of our own

Straight away I wont hesitate to call you out
Straight away I can see that your all afraid
Its time to make up your own mind its time to make yourselves

Rectify beliefs
I won't be held down by the hand that made me


4. THE UNCOLLECTIVE

I thought you'd be afraid
I knew you'd lose it all
Just like the ones before you did
Another one
You made it easier to hate you, hate you

You have glorified all fear
To manifest a cause
Betrayal from the ones that you know
All corrupt
No one is listening
Until you stop
You stop

Acting like gods

I can't see outside the night
I won't be inside this fight

What are you here for?
Why must you test me now?
Why are you fearful?
Should we all go back home?
And count down the hours
'Til it all comes to end
While desperate powers
Are fighting to keep their grip

Stop acting like you don't care
Stop preaching lies as the truth
What's the fucking point?
Of living lifeless like this
Step out from the known

Present me
With a new way of thinking
And a new way of living

What are you here for?
Why must you test me now?
Why are you fearful?
Should we all go back home?
Count down the hours
'Til it all goes to end
While desperate powers
Are fighting to keep their grip

This is the end
My body is lifeless and unforgiving


5. BLUE SKY THINKING

Infinite power,
Surely hides in their faces,
What you didn't know,
We're ready to take them,
It's the time to act,
We will remain free,
We're ready for war,
'Cause we will not stop

I watch this world go running through our hands
We are paying a price for all the things we do not need
And the violence streams and I don't know
If we're living in another 1000 years of greed

Can we face these lies
'Cause I hate to think what more we will do wrong
We were born to rise
(Upgrade this world don't destroy it)
And our manifesto surely has to change

No, I won't be torn apart
By their bullshit thinking
No, I won't be torn apart

Strike my eyes,
I can't quite believe it
We are cold inside
For this blood is on our hands
Crawl, there won't be a man controlled
I'm not paranoid so go fuck yourself
We'll start to change this scene

Here we are inside
A world of pain that isn't kind
Here we are inside
A world of pain
It won't go away, no
Will never go

And this world is turned into a nightmare,
The seizures in this hole won't go away
And it's hard for me to carry on
Our everything fades to grey

Can we face these lies
'Cause I hate to think what more we will do wrong
We were born to rise
(Upgrade this world don't destroy it)
And our manifesto surely has to change

No, I won't be torn apart
By their bullshit thinking
No, I won't be torn apart
By their worldless actions


6. 97% STATIC

Don't fall behind I don't wanna lose you
We can repair our eyes in heaven

It's a white night and without sight
I force my way through the crowds of sacrifice
And I started feeling at peace with you
All this destruction and decay makes me feel sick
Face the facts we can't wake up.
We indulge ourselves like pigs
So I'll eat away the state and force every man to break
And take a good look at itself and everything
In the name of humanity in the name of liberty in the name of no god

The pressure is mountain high
Excuses are always the same
We're living beyond our time
Still it won't make us change

I wanna drown myself in drink so I'm senselessly drunk.
Pollution crowds around me and I wanna get f***ed up
But before they spend another billion on making it all worse
I'm gonna set sail on a mission that we can save ourselves

Can we save our selves? Can we save ourselves
I'll trigger a reaction
In flames
It's beautifully insane

The pressure is mountain high
Excuses are always the same
We're living beyond our time
Still it won't make us change

Everything's breaking down
Excuses are always the same
We're living beyond our time
Still it won't make us change
We've broken everything


7. EMPTY VESSELS MAKE THE MOST NOISE

All these broken glories; is this what you need?
United as brothers in a mission to succeed
Now we see the truth; flames light the skies
Despotically abused; your love is murder

Tattooed words on broken heads
Who shouts the loudest
Has forgotten how to speak their mind
Feed the night; writing words in their blood
Pleasure without a care

Living in this torture, no dove could ever fly
You swim in dirty water, reaping human wry
Shell-shocked in silence

Victory by force
Soul shall collapse, flattening our defences
Rest in jest; forcefulness
Consign and control; this empire must fall

Tattooed words on broken heads
Who shouts the loudest
Has forgotten how to speak their mind
Feed the night; writing words in their blood
Pleasure without a care

Detained by a brutal mind
What's his goal? To leave nothing living behind


8. REGENERATE

Free from our bonds
No longer alone
Never born we'll never die
No need for crowns
We wear the stars now
An infinite fractal of light
Every grain contains them all
Once bound by choice
There is no wrong and there is no right

The answers always clear
The spaces in between
We're choosing now to change
We see the need to leave
And we openly know were we belong
Justice will prevail as the regimes fall...

Nothings ever been this clear
No one needs to feel alone
And the change is set to seed
But we need to take this new form
Love is truly here
We just need to let it breathe
We have glimpsed a new aporia
In the moon light of our gnosis
But no sick world can grow
Its black and white evolve
Dreams are like disease no wars just regenerate

Why can't we grow just like some new flesh?
Cheating lords unlike this new death
Why can't we grow under this new flesh?
There's no regrets for what we save!


9. DENIAL

I prevent the bullshit lies
Never thinking for a second that death could be the fall of me
It's a long way down for us
And now they sit on a cloud
Drinking the pot of human wreckage all alone
We see it
Ritual mind control

But I am basking in the crimson
Illuminating filth of the Earth
I feel like we will never feel
Destruction is the one that I obey
Dysfunctional is nothing new
Believe me when I'm told
There's no comforting answer
I feel like we should never feel
Confusion is a part of every day
I'm tired of being so afraid
They're poisoning the brew of our despair

We should stop lying to ourselves
We are the virus
And there's no guarantees of our survival
We're living in denial
Crash it all
Should we fail and cope with reality?

Anti-social behavior is the new crown
We're fighting back, it's the start of the first war
It's the start of a war

We should stop lying to ourselves
We are the virus
And there's no guarantees of our survival
Displace false thinking, or is it?
Living in denial
Crash it all
We dig then outrage
Or time will break us all
Gotta do it quick, there's a new law

Belies basking in the crimson
Illuminating filth of the earth
I feel like we will never feel
Destruction is the one that I obey
Dysfunctional is nothing new
Believe me when I'm told there's no comforting answers
I feel like we should never feel
Confusion is a part of every day
I'm tired of being so afraid
They're poisoning the brew of our despair
