1. CLARITY

(You can't be forced to live a lie)
(If it lives inside you, it will come alive)

Let go of the fear you hold inside
Your time is now

When the smoke clears will the regret take hold?
You could have been so much more
A taste of the poison you swallow left you broken, hopeless and hollow

Fight the fear of the unknown. Rip it up and start again
Don't let your dreams descend by the burden of how they end

Conflicted, shattered by the lack of self respect
Your time is now

You can't be forced to live a lie
If it lives inside you, it will come alive
You can't be forced to live a lie
A life you will live to despise

I won't look back in the face of defeat
Raise your fists and rise up to your feet
Do you have something to prove?
What have we really got to lose?

Fight the fear of the unknown
Rip it up and start again

Don't let your dreams descend
By the burden of how they end

You can't be forced to live a lie
If it lives inside you it will come alive
You can't be forced to live a lie
A life you will live to despise

(I won't look back in the face of defeat. Raise your fists and rise up to your feet)

There will be no light to guide the way
Take control of what you make your own
Don't live a lie

Suffering is bound to overcome when we fall
You have to learn from it
You have to take control
Don't live a lie


2. CROWN OF MISERY

This crown of misery
No remorse, no sympathy
In my absence, I am reborn
Go!

As good as fucking dead
We are down but not done yet
The hope I see for what I seek is never lost in me
Let these words be known to you
I will not rest until we're through
Time and time again you deny
So now we defy

There will be hell to pay
This crown of misery
No remorse, no sympathy

I see you as the enemy
But I've learned to control my aggression
This void in me you'll never see
It's as dead as you are to me

Not all that's lost is never found
The fear will leave you crippled on the ground
Clawing at the wounds you thought would never heal

I will not rest until you feel what I feel
Take your last breath and set me free
I will not rest until you feel what I feel
Take your last breath before us you will kneel

There will be hell to pay
This crown of misery
No remorse, no sympathy

I see you as the enemy
But I've learned to control my aggression
This void in me you'll never see
It's as dead as you are to me

It's our mistake
We let you in again
Staring through blistered eyes

Nothing you say will change the way I feel
Make no mistake
This void in me you'll never see
Staring through blistered eyes
Staring through blistered eyes


3. CAST DOWN

Pass through the light and into the dark
Alive in the wake of our collapse
Polluted eyes, chemical hearts
We found a way to make money in the dark

Leaders of all, oh how we've evolved

Make a fist
Give us the strength that we need to resist
Cast down, let chaos
Consume us now

We fight to break free, free from these chains on our liberty
A wolf in disguise, to prey on our fear
They found a way to make our fortune disappear

Leaders of all, oh how we've evolved
Where are you now in our state of revolt

Give us the strength that we need to resist
Cast down, let chaos
Consume us now
Make a fist
Give us the strength that we need to resist
Cast down, let chaos
Consume us now

It's time to turn our heads, open our eyes, and follow our hearts
From inside ourselves is where it must start

Breaking waves of progress on the backs of the weak
A face for the faithless armed with the answers we seek

Pray for the end, a shameless parade
Watch as the structure collapses
Misery ends as the structure collapses
Indoctrination wearing thin

Back to the wall, fall to the floor
Misery ends as the structure collapses
Cast down, let chaos
Consume us now


4. AFTERLIFE

Digging with my hands till they bleed on the open road
A path to self destruction
Just a passionate degenerate with shattered glass for eyes

Easy to forget the mistakes I made
A weakness of mind that the nectar revives
Giving me the confidence
Bring me to life, to smite my kind
A belligerent fool with a death wish
Running with the chance of a moment past
Forget the sentence, hang me now

No one can save us, we'll find a way
Turn the page, let me hear you say

Repent, it's a revolution
Believe in me
The world I've seen is filled with greed
They say there's nothing in the after life
Repent, it's a revolution
To set me free
The world I've seen is not for me
No, there is glory in the after life

No fucking sympathy
The promise of a new beginning surrounded me
I threw my body in the river
Then the sinner within me watched it drown

This time I've crossed the line
Self destructive, in decline
My words were not my vow
I need actions, I need them now

In hell all saints will sin
Patience is wearing thin
Each day we live in doubt
We need actions, we need them now

This time I've crossed the line
Self destructive, in decline
My words were not my vow
We need actions, we need them now


5. SHIVER

(Breathe in and scream these words as you shiver
Rise up we need you now)

The rivers fill with blood
We watch them drowning in the flood
A land of freedom was once so clear to us
There is no turning back, no shelter for the weak
The pain that's been endured, can never be undone

This hell is all we know
Never above, always below
No future, no purpose, no hope
No reason, no culture to show

Breathe in and scream these words as you shiver
Rise up we need you now
Our days are numbered now and forever
Rise up we need you now

This has gone too far
We fight fear with ignorance
One mans hatred can spark these absent minds
There is no turning back, no hope to set us free
The hate that's born in us, will never be in me

This hell is all we know
Never above, always below
No future, no purpose, no hope
No reason, no culture to show

Breathe in and scream these words as you shiver
Rise up we need you now
Our days are numbered now and forever
Rise up we need you now

We submit ourselves to this madness

Burn all the evidence
Exposing a world unknown
Burn down our only hope
We must unite to save ourselves
From what we could become

Breathe in and scream these words as you shiver
Rise up we need you now
Breathe in and scream these words
Rise up we need you now
Our days are numbered
Rise up we need you now more than ever
We need you now more than ever


6. BED OF SNAKES

The door swings wide open into my world
A story best forgotten but today it is told
I count the hours missing from night and day
A broken reel of the devil's play

A bitter truth, I waste away
What is left of me to see

Broken lies the beggar
But he is far from poor, for he is rich
With skin and wasted breath
But still he hunts for more
What have you left to give?

I made this bed of snakes
To lay my head in shame
Rot in the stench of the same old mistakes
Only one to blame

I'm losing days to this as I bask in blissful ignorance
Never thought to think again
Now I have, I see the end

The bitter truth, wasted away
Nothing left of me to see

Broken lies the beggar
For he has spent his wealth on a creature bound in leather
This is the price you pay for the weak that you prey on
There is nothing left to give

I made this bed of snakes
To lay my head in shame
Rot in the stench of the same old mistakes
Only one to blame

Forgive me
I've spent years as a creature that crawls on it's knees
I've sown my seed to satisfy my needs
Tonight is a chance to end my suffering
So take my hand and march me to the end
The end of a nightmare
The end of a dream
The end of a life that seemed so serene

In the face of a man that never suffered a fall
I am the one that bears the burden for us all
I am the one that bears the burden for us all
I'll bear the burden but the price I pay is murder


7. I AM OBLIVION, PT. II

I'm possessed with intent
The dream came to life
Sinful conditions gave birth to this vision
Four to believe in me, one to ignore
The dead cannot rise when they're chained to the floor

I hide my danger in the shadows that moonlight missed
Drawing pictures of existence with a bloody fist

My affliction heals
The monster's revealed as I embrace this betrayal

Banished into Oblivion
Sentenced to life inside myself, I hide
Through your pain I survive

This vindictive deception, begging the question
Is this life less alive? Worthless? Deprived?
I'll bring all hell down on you

I curse your wicked sense of pride
And fill the air with pesticide
To rid the earth of this disease
And bring the covenant to it's knees

My affliction heals
Embrace this betrayal

Banished into Oblivion
Sentenced to life inside myself, I hide
Through your pain I survive

Don't you die on me, for the world has yet to see
The desperate plea of a man on his knees
I only kill to rebuild my shattered past

Through the eyes of the captor we were not meant to last
Live this life less alive, through your pain I survive


8. ALONE IN THE SUN

We chase a dream only some can see
We fight together, to be set free
This war is now

Victims of a scene that's stuck on repeat
The curtain falls to show the lies at our feet
This movement is alive with lies
The meaning is gone, the damage is done

We fight together till the battle is won
And all the tragedies undone
Pushing back against the tide
The same old face one thousand times

We chase a dream only some can see
Infecting the old, the young and the free

Do you believe in these words you preach?
How far would you go for this?
Surrender as embers rise
Standing in the fire, alone in the sun

We have to swallow fear now, watch as I unfold
This thing you call a dream is not yours to behold
Living a lie for the sake of something more
Who knew you'd get this far?
Pushing back against the tide
The same old face a thousand times

I bury my head in wounded hands
Can't you see that this is who I am?
We stand together till our time here is done
Until the war has been won
Standing in the fire, alone in the sun

Rise and stand together
Fight to the end, push against the tide
Together till our time is done, 'cause this is who we are

Do you believe in these words you preach?
How far would you go for this?
Surrender as embers rise

We chase a dream only some can see now
We fight together, it's who we are
Standing in the fire, alone in the sun
We are standing in the fire, alone in the sun


9. GATEKEEPER

Suffocate my sickness
Drown it out in a crowd gone mad
White mask of condemnation
Serves the past of this great nation

Sent for the wealth within
What did we do to deserve this endless reign of disdain?

The end is nigh
All of our hatred, use it against us
Read me the rites of our ignorance
The sky alight
Forced from their home on this long road of bones
Into the arms of the gatekeeper

Stand witness to the violence
Bide time and plan my revenge
I am pain, I am fear
I am the cause of all their anguish and tears
Void of copassion
I will end this oppression

Sent for the wealth within
What did we do to deserve this reign of disdain?
I have come for your life

The end is nigh
All of our hatred, use it against us
Read me the rites of our ignorance
The sky alight
Forced from their home on this long road of bones
Into the arms of the gatekeeper
Into the arms of the gatekeeper

Evidence is washed ashore
I turn to a preacher of hate
Suffer the vengeance

Justice is served
Strapped to my chest
Families are stranded
The world in distress
Martyrs are carved from this campaign of hate
The system collapses and so does their faith

The truth is a myth that the world won't survive
Into the arms of the gatekeeper
The sickness will thrive


10. RUINA

(Here in this house we've built from stone
Only ash remains of our hollow home)

Ignorance is bliss
Till we're on our knees
Begging for this to end

We fall by the hand of our own mistakes
Your gods will bow their heads in shame
Digging deep in our veins to escape this place
Your gods will bow their heads in shame

Torn down from the walls
To reveal the cracks
We became our only enemy
The numbers fall so the deaths will rise
Our countries leaders will be walking with their heads held high
These cowards have deceived us
Confined to the borders
Like rats in cages we sign up

We fall by the hand of our own mistakes
Your gods will bow their heads in shame
Digging deep in our veins to escape this place
Your gods will bow their heads in shame

In the end, we're obsolete

Your gods will bow their heads in shame
Like rats in cages we sign up


11. ALIVE

Lie awake in a dream, drag me far away
Your eyes they come to life as you feed off the weak

Strength in the numbers
It's all they see of you, nothing more
Materialistic minds
Tell me do you feel alive?
You're searching for yourself
In a strangers eyes
Living in a world that vanity buys
Humanity has crossed the line

This is how it ends
Weakness in me
I wear on my sleeve
Offer your true light to the world
Weakness in you
A taste of the truth
This mask you wear will slip away
And all will become clear

Turn away from the screens
Tell me how does it feel
Depression comes in waves
When things start to feel real

I'm holding on to the hope that we can change our ways
Materialistic minds
Tell me do you feel alive?

A withering sense of self became my home
Now I'm living with the enemy

We will not walk, we will not crawl
In a world of empty souls
Is this the means to an end?
Annihilation


12. STATE DECAY (BONUS TRACK)

Sail on your mistakes
This world has yet to make a soldier of me
I'm losing faith, I'm losing pride
I'm filled with vengeance, I've chosen my side

It's not enough to be a casualty
I'll never bow to this insanity
Screaming set me free
Dig our heels into the face of supposed democracy

Behold
The absent the king has shown his hand to us
Arise

We fell into the waves that carried this tragedy
Somewhere along the way the skies turned grey
Resist and stand united
Through grief and dismay
This kingdom left divided
Witness the state decay

Bring them to trail to hang in the square
A constant reminder of the hatred we share

It's not enough to send the help they need
They'll never bow to this insanity
Screaming to set them free
Dig your heels into the face of supposed democracy

Behold
The absent the king has shown his hand to us
Arise

We fell into the waves that carried this tragedy
Somewhere along the way the skies turned grey
Resist and stand united
Through grief and dismay
This kingdom left divided
Witness the state decay

Light the sculpture up, we paid in pain
No prison cell can hold us, in pain we gain
Light the sculpture up in flames
Hammers fall to break these chains
The state decays
For it's nothing without us

And as we lay the fallen to rest in the ground
Their families remember that peace can not be found
With pain, we paid

Witness the state decay


13. DRAG YOU TO THE GROUND (BONUS TRACK)

None of this is true, they will outlive me and you
Down again and we're left for dead
But this is not the end
Pull the trigger
We'll live on forever
Now the blind will lead the blind
Into destruction

Carving hate in our minds to divide us
We are bound no more

Take back what they've taken from us
Will we fall in the fire or rise from the dust
Reign down for the ones that we've lost
We'll drag you to the ground with us

Strip back the skin down to the bone
The face of hate shall now be known
Witness the reign of destruction
They're carving hate in our minds to divide us
Yet rebellion rises, submit to this
United as one, we are bound no more

Take back what they've taken from us
Will we fall in the fire or rise from the dust
Reign down for the ones that we've lost
We'll drag you to the ground with us

The time has come when words are not enough
Witness the reign of destruction

The time has come when words are not enough
Walking the road of bitter deceit
Now live with the consequence
Suddenly you fear
There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to hide

Take back what they've taken from us
Will we fall in the fire or rise from the dust
Reign down for the ones that we've lost
We'll drag you to the ground with us

We'll drag you down with us
