1. DESTROY AND REBUILD

Rage consuming the light I have
Slipping away. It’s slipping away

Separate these shades of black
Lost in the memories
Of a broken past that holds me back
Tear out the hooks of regret

Sever the ties
See through the lies
Destroy and rebuild

Separate from the world outside
I’m pulled deeper into my shame
Left alone, I’ll never find a way
To dig myself out of the grave

Afraid of what I’d become
Another failure that’s running from
A past I can never erase. Wasted days
Sever the ties and rebuild

Constant suffering
Reminds me of what I used to be
A past I can never erase. Wasted days
Sever the ties and rebuild
...And rebuild, and rebuild

This is where light and dark collide
Shattering memories that plague my mind
There is no turning back


2. HANDS OF DEATH

Stare in silent disbelief
As the walls come crashing down on me
Lost a brother, lost a friend
Lost a life that came to early end
All that's left are memories
Visions of one I can no longer reach
Filled with violent suffering
All your demons are making their way into me

I fight this battle. I face this war
I curse the hands of death
As they’re knocking at my door

Emptiness, loneliness, helplessness, I crave relief

Will it come to me?

Day by day by day
The void you left doesn’t go away
I feel the pain that you felt
And now I’m trapped in this living hell

I wear the stains from your pain on the edge of my sleeve
I feel the weight of the world, left with nothing

Left with nothing
This won’t be the death of me
These scars won’t fade away


3. ETERNAL DEFIANCE

Choke down every word they say
They speaking poison
Lie to get what's left to give
A promise means nothing

Watch as the cycle repeats

Close your eyes
Fall in line
A flawed design
To keep us silent
Through the noise
From the void
Raise your voice
Eternal Defiance

Land of the free
Lost in decay

Tearing us down to
Build themselves up
When is enough
Finally enough?

Tearing us down to
Build themselves up
When is enough
Finally enough to-

Choke down every word they say
They speaking poison
Lie to get what's left to give
A promise means nothing

Death will always follow you
Death will always follow you
Death will always follow you
When you tip the scales of justice!

A promise means nothing

Death will always follow you
Death will always follow you
Death will always follow you
A promise means nothing!


4. BURN IT AWAY

Burn it away

Screaming at the sky
The black cloud appears again
I didn't see your face
I caught your stench in the wind

Will I break or fall apart?
I'm out of control
Peeling back the flesh to see
All that is left of my soul
This pain is haunting me
Haunting

This waged war
It burns in me
This waged war
It still remains

Burn it away
Burn it away

We're not the same
I am not the failure
That my father has become
Two paths remain:
Make the change or
Refuse and die alone
Refuse and die alone

Oh
When I look in the mirror
I'm disgusted by the face I see
All the pieces of you
Reflected in me

I will shed the dead weight
I won't carry this guilt to my grave

Shed the dead weight
I won't carry this guilt to my grave
Shed the dead weight
I won't carry this guilt to my grave


5. NO WAY OUT

All we know are bitter thoughts
Crooked smiles and crooked hearts
Spreading hate to ease the pain
Another slave to the system

They've drawn lines in the sand
And told us who to trust
Rejecting all that is different
It fills me with disgust

This silent indifference
We can never escape
Frozen in fear
Shackled and chained to our past mistakes

There's no way out
Our hands are stained
There's no way out
If it just stays the same

There's no way out
There's no way out

Death takes us all
Witness the downfall

Born into a broken world
We are the swine that
Have swallowed the pearls
We abandon the things
We have sworn to defend
Watch it fall apart in the end

Born into a broken world
Left in this broken world

All we know are bitter thoughts
Crooked smiles and crooked hearts
Spreading hate to ease the pain
Another slave to the system

Another slave to the system
We're all just slaves to the system


6. WIDEN THE WOUND

Worn down
Dismayed
Ripping at the seams
I'm torn apart

My hope is torn apart
Embrace the pain

Stabbed in the back
By the ones that I used to trust
This is a downward spiral
Embrace the pain

Once again
I'm overwhelmed by ignorance
It widens the wound until it consumes
What's left of our innocence

The sand is always shifting
Another season of endless decline
Lower down still sinking (Sinking!)
Buried alive

Fight for survival
Don't live in denial
Fight for survival
Don't live in denial

I will never trust humanity again

Lost hope in humanity
Widen the wound
Lost hope in humanity
Watch it consume
What's left of our innocence

Lost hope in humanity
Lost hope in humanity
