1. IGNITE

(Instrumental)


2. ETERNAL MACHINE

The cogs keep turning
The earth keeps burning down
They gotta fuel the war machine
Crude oil and kerosene

A constant need
A hate to feed
Ina a world that's bleeding out
Catastrophe
Epanastrophe
A never ending cycle
An enterprise
Built on lies
An eternal industry
For the wheels to turn
The world must burn
Burn it to the ground

Always wanting more and more
Living the nightmare just to feed the dream
Spoiling the wealthy, depriving the poor
Make war to fuel the machine

Filthy production line
Twisted destructive minds
Does it get you off?
Arm the troops, it's feeding time

Devour!

Supply to demand
Create to destroy
Feed the fucking machine
Go!

Devour!

For the wheels to turn
The world must burn
Burn it to the ground

Always wanting more and more
Living the nightmare just to feed the dream
Spoiling the wealthy, depriving the poor
Make war to fuel the machine

Filthy production line
Twisted destructive minds
Does it get you off?
Arm the troops, it's feeding time

A thirst bloodshed
The hungry man
Ever eternal war machine

Unstoppable

Stop this train, let's derail the monster
The iron prince, cannot cease to breathe
Only flames, can ingite the fire
Annihilating, the war machine


3. DOWN

The story goes
A million miles and a thousand shows
Pure hearts of gold
Singing it back to the microphone
Singing it back to the microphone, yeah
Breathe in
Suck it in and spit it back, back
We ain't backing down
Live and die for the wolf pack

Down! Down!
Raise your fists, let's bring this place down! (Down!) Down! (Down!)
Hand in hand we fight together
When you scream with me
We tear this roof down! Down!
We shall raise this flag together

Set in stone
Forged by fire iron bones
In the zone
Lights go out and we lose control
Lights go out and we lose control, yeah
Unstoppable - feel the heat
Push it back, back
Keep it coming now
Scream until your lungs collapse!

Down! Down!
Raise your fists, let's bring this place down! (Down!) Down! (Down!)
Hand in hand we fight together
When you scream with me
We tear this roof down! Down!
We shall raise this flag together

We're a fucking tidal wave of destruction
It's redemption time
Fucking wave of destruction, destruction!

Down! Down!
Raise your fists, let's bring this place down! (Down!) Down! (Down!)
Hand in hand we fight together
When you scream with me
We tear this roof down! Down!
We shall raise this flag together

Thunder, hear our call
Make the mountains fall


4. THE IRON GATES

So tell me why would you let me in?
Just to go and fucking let me down?
Why would you push me in?
Just to stand there and watch me drown?
Just like you were buried alive
Left a carcass with no feeling inside
I mourn your death with pride
Lifeless and pathetic empty bottles, suicide
I was your saviour
And you, my queen
But now you're dead and gone
And the blame is on me

And now, take me there
Take me to the iron gates again
Fade to black, erase it all, the curtains draw
I feel so alone since you left us all

Take me there
Take me to the iron gates again
Your body, still and cold
Your body, still and cold
I feel so alone

Before you die, spread those wings
Bid the child farewell for me
Say goodbye, say goodnight
Dark become my life

Now tell me why would you pick me up?
Just to go and fucking let me down?
Why would you open the door?
Just to turn around and shut me out?

Black eyes, black funeral
Black hole, wasted past
Give me life, give me a home, then take it back
Black eyes, black funeral
Black lungs, wasted past
I'm left with nothing
Nothing but pain and this whiskey glass


5. PARASITE

It's like we're trapped inside an empty room
No light of day, a single ray, could break this feeling of doom
I look across, who do I see, it's you and only you
But I ain't taking this, no not this time
You turn my mind into an ugly sight
You better run and fucking hide

Let's settle the score, we're going to war
I'm over falling for your fucking traps
It's taking control, destroying my soul
I'll feel better once these walls collapse

I'll give the devil my taunted soul
Before I let you take control
No more begging on my knees
It's time you slipped into eternal sleep
I'd rather burn in a sea of flames
Than be pulled into your twisted games
Close your eyes and go to sleep
Close your eyes and go to sleep

You're nothing but a parasite
It's time to kiss your ass goodbye

Let's settle the score, we're going to war
I'm over falling for your fucking traps
It's taking control, destroying my soul
I'll feel better once these walls collapse

I am the boss, and it's time to cut you off
Life must go on but, I will never forget

Back when we were young
When you didn't have much to say
When we were young
You'll pull me under but not today

Let's settle the score, we're going to war
I'm over falling for your fucking traps
It's taking control, destroying my soul
You took my life, now I'm taking it back

I'm taking it back
I'm taking it


6. THE SOUND OF LETTING YOU GO

It tears me deep when I close my eyes
To think that you're no longer here
Can't you tell I'm no longer breathing?
Can't you tell, can't you see I'm drowning in fear?
I'm in the deep, deep in denial
Don't tell me you're no longer here
I know your flame was no longer burning
But it always burns for me

This is the sound of letting you go!
Your final days just stole
They took your life too soon
They took the brightest soul
Those breaths you should have took
Those words you could have spoken
Injustice!
The impact broke our hearts
Leaving us all so speechless
How could this fucking be?
A night so long and sleepless
Injustice!
I'm left with no goodbye
I guess we're letting you go

It tears me deep when I close my eyes
To think that you're no longer here
Can't you tell I'm no longer breathing?
Can't you tell, can't you see I'm drowning in fear?
I'm in the deep, deep in denial
Don't tell me you're no longer here
I know your flame was no longer burning
But it always burns for me

When the lights went out
And your heartbeat stopped
We've never felt such pain
Only memories remain
But we will never, ever forget
No!
This is the sound of letting you go
When the wheels overturned
My God how it hurts
So long

It tears me deep when I close my eyes
To think that you're no longer here
Can't you tell I'm no longer breathing?
Can't you tell, can't you see I'm drowning in fear?
I'm in the deep, deep in denial
Don't tell me you're no longer here
I know your flame was no longer burning
But it always burns for me

It tears me deep when I close my eyes
I realize you are not here
It still hurts when I try to breathe
Some things will never disappear
I'll always be deep in denial
I'll always feel like you're still here
Your flame won't stop burning,
It burns forever in our dreams


7. THE SWARM

They'll lead us blinded to the slaughter!

Social stature, a constant decline
They march us to the bottom where we're butchered like swine
How can we live like this? As nothing but pawns
In their hunger games, shotgun blasts to the swarm

Hunger games, prepare for the storm!

We choke to stay alive
Gasping for air, just to survive
On the edge of our extinction
When will they open their eyes?
They starve, they crawl, they beg for mercy
Gasping for air just to survive
We choke, to stay alive
When will they see we're all gonna die?

Leaders, resource eating swine
Silver spoons and their fucked up minds
Stop, read the warning signs
We're out of time, out of time, out of time!

We choke, to stay alive
Gasping for air, just to survive
On the edge of our extinction
When will they open their eyes?
They starve, they crawl, they beg for mercy
Gasping for air just to survive
We choke, to stay alive
When will they see we're all gonna die?

Stop, read the warning signs
Stop, this cannot go on forever


8. MONSTER

I'm a fucking monster!

My blood is boiling but I'm loving the pain
Bathing in the hatred with a grin on my face
This is who I am, don't ever ask me to change
I couldn't if I tried so let me be, let me be me

I can't fake it
This is who I've always been
I'll never ever change
'Cause I'm a fucking monster!

As it rises I embrace the chills
From my spine into my fingertips
The voices start running through my head
They're telling me to, let out the monster!

Back up
Temperature is rising and my teeth start to grind
Someone stop me!
Embrace the hate

I'm over trying to hide
This is who I am
I'm over trying to hide
This is who I am, this is who I am
Just a fucking monster!

I'm not afraid to embrace the pain nor the hate
This is who I am, it's who I am!
Please, don't try to save me
Let me slip, slip away

I can't fake it
This is who I've always been
I'm never, ever, ever gonna change!

Voices, they're in my head
Voices, they live and breathe
Don't you try to save me, this is me


9. IMAGINE

Reflections, tell me who you really see
It's not perfection
But who are they to tell you what that means?
Don't fool yourself
Life without a filter
They're nothing more than what you have inside
Sitting on your highest horse
Clouded eyes and narrow minds

Searching, look inside yourself somehow
Imagine, imagine that you're good enough now
Imagine! Imagine!
Imagine feeling bold
Imagine loving yourself
Imagine confidence deep within your soul

Focus!
It's time to close your eyes
Look behind the lies and focus
Reflections, tell me who you really see
It's not perfection
But who are they to tell you what that means?

Searching, look inside yourself somehow
Imagine, imagine that you're good enough now
Searching, look inside yourself somehow
Imagine, imagine that you're good enough now
Imagine
Imagine, imagine now
Imagine, imagine now

Life without a filter
They're nothing more than what you have inside
Sitting on their highest horse
Clouded eyes and narrow minds
Why look to fiction to compare yourself
Stop and think, is your heart still beating?
If you just stopped and took a second glance,
You'd see their selfish bones, so stop competing!
Imagine, compassion, imagine


10. INCARCERATED

Alone, you lose control
Between these walls that you've built in your head
And you can't, look forward with your head hanging down
Hanging around in this cell of regret
But, you, you just don't get it
You let it get in the way
You stay chained locked up in your brain
No, no, you just don't get
So keep on hiding your face
Go build those walls, that'll drive you insane

I watched you forge them bars
You locked them up and then you swallowed the key
Time flies, open your eyes to stop from drowning in agony
I hate to watch you suffer
I hate to watch you suffocate

Out of your mind
Locked inside a self inflicted penitentiary
Look at me
Answer me, answer me, please don't go
Out of your mind,
This ain't how living is supposed to be
Look at me
Break these chains, get up and go

Locked inside
Doing time, you went and sentenced yourself to life In your mind
Incarcerated, intoxicating
What's in your mind?
I hate to watch you suffer
Don't say you're lonely
You're not alone, misery loves company
Alone, alone
Anxious swimming in sadness
Alone, alone
Thick skulled, living in the past, you're cold
Shiver, shiver, shiver
Cold
Shiver, shiver, shiver


11. RAPTURE

If this day was your last
Would you blame the present or past?
Or would you refuse to admit we're all the accused
And when that day comes tell me who, who who will stand up?

Fading lights, the call of the hounds
Resounds in the distance as forest burn into the ground
No one makes a sound
The winds blow
The crows come to feed
To feed on the carcasses butchered by artillery
We've lowered this earth to its knees

Hide the truth, the future's bleak
I refuse, do you believe?
Are we capable?
S-O-S, save our souls
Save our souls

Rising heat, volcanoes explode
Eroding the sea-line as rivers and lakes overflow
Thawing the snow
The winds blow, the crows come to feed
To feed on the carcasses butchered by artillery
We've lowered this earth to its knees

If this day was your last
Would you blame the present or the past?
Crying for mercy
If this day was your last
Would you blame the present or the past?
This day could be your last

Hide the truth, the future's bleak
I refuse, do you believe?
Are we capable?
S-O-S, save our souls
