1. RATHER BE DEAD
Rather be dead than alive by your oppression
Rather be dead than alive by your design
Poisoned my fingers
Burned out my eyes
Cut down my throat
To be alive
Rather be dead than alive by your social values
Rather be dead than alive by your tradition
Poisoned my fingers
Burned out my eyes
Cut down my throat
To be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Poisoned my fingers
Burned out my eyes
Cut down my throat
2. COUP D'ETAT
Staying up planning the downfall of your corrupted system
What plot will I figure out, what thoughts will I pen down?
I will have my coup d'etat
I will start a riot
I will hold your burning flag in my hand
Sitting up all night planning
Revolution with a catchy phrase
Shitty band with an awesome plan
Punk crusade throughout the land
Sick of silence, passive masses
Educate, resist & take control
To live a life in fear of changing
Is to not live at all
I will have my coup d'etat
I will start a riot
I'll hold your burning flag
In my hand
I'll watch your empire fall
I'll watch your empire fall
I will watch
Your empire fall
I will not die for you
I will not kill for you
I will not fight for you
I will not die for you
I will not kill for you
I will not fight for you
I will hold your burning flag in my hand
As I watch your empire fall
Because I know it will
Because I know it will
I will have my coup d'etat
I will have my coup d'etat
I will have my coup d'etat
I will have my...
3. HOOK, LINE & SINKER
The bait... the prey... the mice
Debate... the meth...od of... demise
Debate... your high
I'll lie beside you, walk you down and lay the beat beneath your bed
Beneath... the dead
Debate... the meth...od in... your head
Chemical misanthropy saving you from blame
I'll stand below you, lift you up, increase the pain
I'll stand below you, lift you up, increase the pain
I wanna see you, hear your voice regret the choice.
Rejoice in watching you collapse
Destroy the map, falling headlong into the gap
Swallow poison
Swallow the bait
Swallow poison
Swallow every word
Said to free you from blame
I'll stand below you, lift you up, increase the pain
I'll stand below you, lift you up, increase the pain
I wanna see you, hear your voice regret the choice.
Rejoice in watching you collapse
Destroy the map, falling headlong into the gap
The hunter dying in his trap
The hunter dying in his trap
The hunter dying in his trap
The hunter...
Dead
Swallow poison
Swallow the bait
Swallow poison
Swallow every word
Hook
Line
And
Sinker
4. RETURN TO THE CLOSET
The game is over
Damage is done
Fuck you for
Playing along
Break through the surface
Only to suffocate
Beating it into me - Beating it into me
Burn witches as found
But not this time
Culture aquires love design
Culture aquires love design
This people culture aquires love design
This culture
Left naked with nothing but ourselves and contempt for what we're not supposed to be,
not supposed to feel, not supposed to see.
I will embrace you
I will embrace you
We're all beautiful
We're all beautiful
Culture aquires love design
Culture aquires love design
This people culture aquires love design
Culture
We all return
Confrontation cuts
In the closet
Can't get up
We all return
We all return
We all return
Another definition to keep control
With assorted names we know where to belong
Another definition to keep control
With assorted names we know where to belong
5.LIFE SUPPORT ADDICTION
Somewhere along the line we lost
Individuality paid the cost
Close enough to inhale the security
It's always
Too far away
Breed upon
Culture sickness
Made this rule
Into our own
Silently sedated
Minds fly out the window
Our emotions suffocate
Suppress the essence of...
Beautiful independent friday night dress
Wash away the fear & insecurity
Substitute kills the freedom
Cut the wounds
Wide open
A glimpse caught the sense
Now you're content's slowly fading
Familiar escape
Alternative to nothing
Familiar escape
Alternative to nothing
Silently sedated
Minds fly out the window
Our emotions suffocate
Suppress the essence of - living
Reminded to die
Life support addiction
Watch your love
Slip through your hands
Silently sedated
Minds fly out the window
Our emotions suffocate
Suppress the essence of...
6.IT'S NOT O.K TO PRETEND THAT EVERYTHING ALRIGHT
It's not O.K.
To pretend everythings alright
It's not O.K.
To pretend that everythings alright
7. CRUSADER OF HOPELESSNESS
Stretch out in your christ pose
Marionette of lost hope
Your sadness at the expense of the world
Your dying to be this
Your living to be this
Energy
Wasted
Feeling sorry for ourselves
We didn't deserve it
We didn't deserve it
Using a thousand apologies
As a thousand excuses for
Making the same mistakes
Crusader of hopelessness
Crucified by yourself
What d'you know about suffering?
So full of reason not to see
The possibilities to change
This
Suffocation
Turn it into focus
Cos we don't need this
Cos we don't need this
Using a thousand apologies
As a thousand excuses for
Making the same mistakes
Forget about your selfpity
Forget about your petty problems
Forget about your small world
Forget about your selfpity
Forget about your petty problems
Forget about your small world
Forget about your selfpity
Forget about your petty problems
Forget about your small world
Forget about your selfpity
Forget about your petty problems
Forget about your small world
Using a thousand apologies
As a thousand excuses for
Making the same mistakes, yeah!
8. WORTHLESS IS THE FREEDOM BOUGHT...
From here to the cemetary, from here to the grave
How many did your democracy save?
Clean slate, state oppression and yeah!
Once again, like a thousand times before
A thousand victims more
Take aim at the have-nots as always
Once again the freedom's being bought at the expense of truth
From here to the cemetary, from here to the grave
How many did your democracy save?
Your beautiful world is dead
It will die a thousand times
Your beautiful world is dead
I will watch it expire
Your beautiful world is dead
It's time to kill this lie
Your beautiful world is dead
It died a thousand times
Bloodred, pitch black, yeah!
Tired of being expendable in their community
And while you swallow every image they present
We'll sing the songs to fan the flames of discontent
9. THIS TRUST WILL KILL AGAIN
You knew what I was gonna say
When I didn't
I did anyway
And it seems
I'll survive with selfrespect intact
And you??
Every freedom needs a trust
This trust will kill again for you
And someone else won't believe their eyes
While a thousand will believe that it's true
This trust will kill again for you
Through tales of objectivity you shake my hands
All that objectivity could break them both
Whatever I say, context aside, you got what you need
Make sure I say what they want to read
Every freedom needs a trust
This trust will kill again for you
And someone else won't believe their eyes
While a thousand will believe that it's true
This trust will kill again for you
It won't happen again
I'll survive with selfrespect intact
They're telling me that I should have known better
Well, now I know
Now I know
And now I know
Yeah!
All that objectivity
Nothing
All that objectivity
Nothing
10. BEAUTY
The need to dream
Makes it easy to provide
A package to fulfill life
Your prefabricated beauty
Tan, blank skin
Your slim white torsos
Plastic smiles
Just the perfect fantasy
Cling on to illusions of industry dream
Your body, your beauty will fade
Fit the pieces, adjust the smiles
You will try, try, try, try
To fit in, to fit in for the perfect li(f)e
Sell me a pre-packaged body conception
Sell me a dream of love everlasting
Sell me perfection of satisfaction
Give me beauty or give me death
Your prefabricated beauty
Tan, blank skin
Your slim white torsos
Give me a body forever young
Give me a fulfillment of fitness
Give me the answers to my search
Give me beauty or give me death
Sell me a pre-packaged body conception
Sell me a dream of love everlasting
Sell me perfection of satisfaction
Grant me the with of my branded erection
11. LAST MINUTE POINTER
Is there a single thing
That'd make you comprehend
As long as we shut up
We still sanction them?
My silence will convict me
My silence will convict me
My silence will convict me
As the parade continues
On every bloodstained flag
We sum up statistics
Still buried in the sand
My silence will convict me
My silence will convict me
My silence will convict me
With our silence
We vote for
Continuation
With our silence
We vote for
Continuation
12. THE SLAYER
Turn
Off
Hail to the deafening
End
Life
For ego reasoning
Consumer of selfishness, feel it bleed
Death traditions feeds the suffering
Acquire by-products, breed the industry
Modern death camps, feel their suffering
Soul
Destroyer
Never question consequence
Pain
Won't end
So we gag our sense
Kill the conscience, lies over lives
Kill the conscious, lies over lives
Consumer of selfishness, feel it bleed
Death traditions feeds the suffering
Acquire by-products, breed the industry
Modern death camps, feel... their suffering
Their pain
Won't end
Their pain
Won't end
With blood in my eyes
I won't see the light shine
With blood in my eyes
I won't see the light shine
With blood in your eyes
You won't see the light shine.
