Lyrics


1. THE END OF ME (LULLABY)

Death says it is your time
As scenes from your life
Flash just before your eyes
Senses slow down
Accompanied by an eerie silence
I realize now I’m helpless
Death is calling my name
The earth just grates the flesh
And the crimson warms my face
Death is calling my name

Falling - Falling asleep
Embracing serenity
Falling - Falling asleep
Death calls – Calls out to me

Broken picture
Fading - Its getting dark
Feel the tingle down your spine
It all just slips away
Death is calling my name

This is the end of me
My curtain call
This is the end of me
Of everything


2. SPEAK YOUR MIND

The human race doesn’t want to be saved
Forever slaves or casualties
Our seeds of hope are cut down
By the sounds of a gun and a screaming crowd

We murder our hope
A bullet to the skulls
Of the ones who speak out

If we speak our minds, then we’re all gonna die
Speak your mind then we’re all gonna die
Speak your mind, gonna die, gonna die

Would you speak your mind
If you knew you’re gonna die ?

The human race doesn’t want to be saved


3. GONE TOO FAR

I’m hooked
The addiction grips me deep down inside
I cannot let it win
One taste sets the hooks in
Piercing through to my soul
I let the devil in

Guilty
Guilty memories pull me farther away
From where I want to be
Eight years past the threshold
And I’m still unclear on
What the future holds

Will I find the right direction
If I trust my own reflection ?
Or will I just be left with scars ?
Oh God, have I gone too far ?

I’m hooked to the process
Of acting on the impulse
With no regard for the future
Will I turn out to be
An empty shell of a man
Who’s still lonely ?

Oh god, have I gone too far ?
God, have I gone too far ?
I can’t keep moving on


4. RIP OFF YOUR MASK

You hide your face
But you hype your name
Pretend you don’t care
What other people say
Follow blindly
But you think you should lead
You’re a fake
Do we think you are a hero ?
No

So rip off the mask you wear
And see what you believe
Rip off the mask you wear
You wear

Rip off your mask

It’s sad that you’re surprised
You’re not perfect in other’s eyes
Gotta shed your façade
To find out who you really are

If you feel hollow and alone
Should you really be a leader ?
No

If we keep using denial
To hide behind
We’ll never be leaders
And do what is right
Come on
So rip off the mask you wear

We’ll never be leaders and
Do what is right
Come on
Should you really be a leader ?
No.


5. NOW IS OUR TIME

Born stock
You’re raised for a predetermined fate
Never question
Just wait in line for their answers
You stay on chains
With the herd cause you’re all afraid
There’s no purpose
With superficial values on the surface
Now is our time

Time is running out
I can’t just watch the sand
As its falling through the glass
Now is our
Time is running out
I know the end’s in sight
But death gives meaning to this life
Now is our time

Suffering and Weak
Cause you eat the shit they feed
Throw out your dreams
Cause they’ll tell you what you need
They will poison your mind
Use distractions to kill your time
I won’t concede cause I’m free
I will never be your fucking sheep

Watch the sand fall through the glass

Time is fading fast for us all
All we can do is watch the sand through the glass


6. GO FUCK YOURSELF

People tell me
I have my head in the clouds
But you can’t reach the stars
With your feet on the ground
You say I’m set up to fail
But you can’t count me out
Cause I will never quit
Reaching for my dreams

Take your self-righteous opinion
And fucking shove it

You say to stand in line
You say that I should quit
Don’t give me your advice
Unless I ask for it
I deserve more
Than what you’ve given to me
And I will never take
Your mediocrity

Why don’t you go fuck yourself !

Fuck your judgement


7. NEW HYBRID

These dichotomous wars won’t quit
Splintering my subconscious
Separating I start to split
Deform into a new hybrid

I’ve been released from this
Psychotic struggle
Can’t stop feeding off this
Psychotic struggle

Distortion fuels as my mind twists
As I fall further in the abyss
I keep consuming – Can’t get enough
To feel the pleasure, I kill myself

I have control
I am control

Deform into a new hybrid


8. WITCH HUNT

Murder self-expression
You’re taking our freedoms away
Til’ we’re all the same
You crush us, you kill us
You stab us then twist an idea
To make us the same
You want to make us the same

Why does this feel like a witch hunt ?
This persecution is unjust
Why must you kill what you don’t understand ?
This persecution is unjust

Lead us blindly to the gallows
No one questions why you teach us to be hollow
What’s the motive of your system ?
Have we lost the dreams of our fathers ?
Will logic prevail ?

You want to make us the same


9. FEEBLE

All love-struck, you’re all caught up
Caught up in vanity
Infatuated and obsessed
Obsessed with celebrity
Lust over what you’ll never own
Impose what you think you know
So sit proud on your fucking throne
Worship yourself
You’re all alone

Green with envy
Soulless – Empty
Can you even sleep at night ?

Your false idols – Manufactured
I don’t buy it
Your demi-gods – Convictions
I don’t want them
You’re feeble-minded

You’re bitter, bitter because
Life doesn’t go your way
No reason you resent
Loved ones you need the most
Always looking for a scapegoat
Never thinking about a way out
You’re a feeble existence
There’s no one else
You made yourself

Green with envy
Soulless – Empty
You can’t make me
Believe your lies


10. INFERNO

Step inside - Into your own
Distorted perception - It takes a hold
Of your soul - Of your mind
One more time - I just can’t let it die

Slave to the madness
Fed by dependence
I won’t stop ‘til I’m dead

Need the fix to stop the itch
It makes me sick now it has come to this
Lost control – Lost my mind
Nothing left but emptiness inside

Crawl out of the inferno
You can’t escape the inferno

Not enough (it’s not)

One more time
But it will never die
