2. THE SERPENT

It's killing season
Persuasion will determine the outcome
The victim will have bloodied hands
And a snake will make them so
Welcome to hell on earth
Instigated by the lies created from the mouths of bretheren

This time we've lost
But at what cost?
The meaning of trust is a broken hymn
The serpent
Has spoken
And his will has been done

Is this the end of the world?
Betraying our brothers
To see how far we can rule
Now the time is right
There's no turning back
No turning back

So set me free
Of this demon deep inside
The serpent utters every line
That you will speak henceforth
Everything you know has been erased
Replaced by traitorous endeavours
With sounds of twisting tales
Tightening your blindfold

This time we've lost
But at what cost?
For now my voice will cry for change
The serpenn
Has spoken
And he's in everyone

Is this the end of the world?
Betraying our brothers
To see how far we can rule
Encased in walls
Of greed and control
With serpentine lies on your tongue

I've searched and tried
I'll break away these chains
I will not be consumed
I refuse

Is this the end of the world?
Betraying our brothers
To see how far we can rule


3. THIS DAY IS MINE

Viscious authority from the mouth of hate
Spewing forth all the lies that you can make
Just one look in the mirror tells your tale
When will your jealousy resolve?

So what give you the right?
You'll see that this day is mine

Now the time has come
I see you cover your eyes to shield yourself
Your better off in the dark after all
What do you take me for?
A fool? Or a liar?
I'll bet you're shaking in your goddamn boots

So what give you the right?
You'll see that this day is mine

You'll never understand
Its not some divine hand
That makes me the person that i am
So what the hell you gonna do now?

So what give you the right?
You'll see that this day is mine
This day is mine
This day is mine
This day is mine


4. CITY OF VULTURES

Sucked in
Engulfed by feelings i dont know
Descending deep inside this darkening place
It's bright lights will drag you down

I'm drawn in to this city of vultures
Circling
Preying
They'll take you down alive
Unless we save ourselves this time
Unless you save yourself

We're falling down tonight
Tonight
From blinding lights that drew me in
Tonight

I'm caught in this viscious betrayal
Of what i knew as truth
and this city full of liars and brutes
will make me stay and learn their way
I vow to struggle
I promise to put up a fight
With fists in the air
I have no more fear

We're falling down tonight
Tonight
From blinding lights that drew me in
Tonight

We are the elite
In this city of broken wings
We will not regretrelnt conform or bend for this is who we are
This is who i am

We're falling down tonight
Tonight
From blinding lights that drew me in
Tonight


5. TALKING IN WHISPERS

In the arms of anonymity
You have made your bed
But was it worth it
When you had to raise your voice?

Because I don't want to waste my days
Walking around these hopeless streets
Watching silent nights
Watching myself fade

Now I know i'll figure this one out on my own
Raise up my voice
And scream and shout
Well I won't stand for nothing
Because I can't hear you talking
I will live out loud

You once had a dream
But the feeling of being made you weak
And now you talk in your head
Your lifeless body feels like the walking dead
Living in fear of consequences
Does not adhere to a life worth living

And I don't want to see the day
When the hearts of people turn the other way
Reposed in silence
With nothing to say

Now I know i'll figure this one out on my own,
Raise up my voice
And scream and shout
Well I won't stand for nothing
Because I can't hear you talking
I will live out loud

Now I know i'll figure this one out on my own,
Raise up my voice
And scream and shout
Your talking in whispers
And i don't hear
A sound


6. GOD CAN BLEED

These false beliefs will fuel our denial
The last debris will crumble in front of our eyes
Just so we can see
The truth behind the lies
Nobody said this was easy
An unveiling of things that we don't want to hear,
Confiding in idols that preach their own bibl
Doubting the strength in our hearts

If you can stand up to the masses
And preach and sell your gospel
Then i'll take back all the scars
Of which your the root and the cause

Pay the price on this day
The sacred hand that buries the truth
Who believes in the land of the free?
I'll show them their God can bleed

There is not one who'll save you now
The new uprising has turned this table round
The blood you spill on honest ground
Contours the landscapes of our time

Stripped back to callous numbness
That you have enforced tenfold
Chasing rainbow and mirage
Selling your miracle cure
But what is more
To carry my burdens
Like my heroes before

Pay the price on this day
The sacred hand that buries the truth
Who believes in the land of the free?
I'll show them their God can bleed

I am the one to bring you down
Sent from the streets I was sown on
We are the sons of everymen
We will not break we will not bend

Pay the price on this day
The sacred hand that buries the truth
Who believes in the land of the free?
I'll show them their God can bleed


7. POWER THROUGH FEAR

Divinity will rise and destroy
I am the wolf amongst the sheep
And i will erase
All the things that you hold dear

No more heroes
No more lies
No more saviours
On which you can rely

I was created from self righteous tears
Not from deveil
Not from demon
But from those who preach

Power through fear

For once in this life
I scorched the skies
I am the remedy to humanity
I am the dirge of those who died
I'm the devil turning glass into sand
I'm the shadow on the wall
I am the subtelty of endless sleep
For this demon is a man

I am the great plague bearing down
I am the land clearing flood
I am the iron fist
That pulverises kingdoms into dust
And now i will you show you what it means to suffer
And what it means to die

For once in this life
I scorched the skies
I am the remedy to humanity
I am the dirge of those who died
I'm the devil turning glass into sand
I'm the shadow on the wall
I am the subtelty of endless sleep
For this demon is a man

For once in this life
I scorched the skies
I am the remedy to humanity
I am the dirge of those who died
I'm the devil turning glass into sand
I'm the shadow on the wall
I am the subtelty of endless sleep
For this demon is a man


8. NOTHING LEFT

Now the departed
Are laid to rest
As the single chance to reconcile is covered with the earth
I heard her screaming
Begging to the sky
All the while the numbness culls all decency inside


I bid farewell to those foresaken eyes
But i will hold you when there's nothing left
I'll never let you down

So sick of trying all the time
The blood's been spilt and it is mine
And all thats left to breathe
Are empty words inside my head
And all the bullets shall unload
Empty casings callous hold
The loss of one begins to burn
But i'll take that road when its my turn

I bid farewell to those foresaken eyes
But i will hold you when there's nothing left
I'll never let you down

No more will i fall apart

I bid farewell to those foresaken eyes
But i will hold you when there's nothing left
I'll never let you down


9. WE WILL LAST FOREVER

The revolution comes alive
Now it's time to take a side
Who are you?

With bombs falling from the mouths of the lord's in seat
When every day comes forth to claim the weak
I won't listen i won't listen
When we're face down revelling in mess we've made
When city walls transform into a cage
We aren't victims
We aren't victims

So hear us
And know it's all
A promise to overcome
They strive for control but they won't take our lives
Away

I've realised
That you are the only one who feels
Your changing life
Your situation does not dictate
Who you are
Or who you become in this world

When all hope seems to far out of reach,
When all the fools want to judge and preach
Remember truly
Who's still with you

Stand tall in your solidarity,
And as one there is immortality,
For you are defined
By the life you leave behind

So hear us
And know it's all
A promise to overcome
They strive for control
But they won't take our lives away

We've opened up the sky
We are the warriors
With a halo of embers
Everlasting in our hearts
We will fight on together
We will last forever


10. ILLUSIONS

I can't steer away
From the tragedy before me
It's burning luminescence
Holds my eye
I can not understand it
You are so disenchanted
In your shadow of a life

I hold this one truth to myself
To never forget where I have come from
Your lies beguile us all but there's still a chance to change
You must forsake the facade
And realise just who you are

For what you've done you've faded to blackness
Your closing eyes sink into darkness

You've turned your back on what you believe
For the sake of walking through a dream
Your startling contradictions,
All derive from your life's own fictions
Illusions give you all the pride
That you need to deal with what's inside,
But you'll never wipe the tears from your eyes,
Because your living a selfish lie

I hold this one truth to myself
To never forget where I have come from
Your lies beguile us all but there's still a chance to change
You must forsake the facade
And realise just who you are

For what you've done you've faded to blackness
Your closing eyes sink into darkness

We're so determined to blaze our own trail
That we forget who we are
And we cover ourselves in lies
But I will not for I have sovereignty
In the eyes of those who may judge me
I will overcome

For what you've done, you've faded to blackness
Your closing eyes, sink into darkness


11. ROADS

There are shades I have yet to define
When all I seem to do is climb
To better understand
The life that's in my hands
And what I seek to find
In this world

On these darkened roads
Where blood runs cold
They clipped my wings and I'm going down

We let this world get the better of us
Possessions state who we can and can not trust
But did we ever stop to ask who we are?
Some live life by age old rules
Sent forth from a king and kept alive by a fool
But they'll never understand
What it means to raise your hand
It's time to readdress your rights
(It's time to fight)

On these darkened roads
Where blood runs cold
They clipped my wings and i'm going down
For the life we have
In our beating hearts
Is all that we have left

Faces and memories
Are the only real things
And they are worth this struggle

Our lives are one single chance to make things right
This time no turning back I'm taking flight

On these darkened roads
Where blood runs cold
They clipped my wings and I'm going down
For the life we have
In our beating hearts
Is all that we have left


12. BRIDGES WILL BURN

Mouth sewn shut
Abandoned to speak
With the dawn of a new day rising
We all will know

Shall i not be heard?
I will not
For they cant stand up and bite the bullet

Their justice lies with pain
Their justice is not beleif
Killing maiming interrorgating
All who're true to their word

Behind life and death lies the line we all must cross one day
For we are the same
And as i dream
Of something real
We all will weep
For we cannot feel

Pray for something new
Pray for something new
The bridges will burn
As we cast our divides

Bring me to my knees
And laugh a while
As you see the destruction you've caused

I will not be
Brought down by mistakes in my past

Destroy rebuild enslave
Is not the only way
For you will decay

Destroy other relations
With a pure race created by intollerant bigots
Who would destroy a world
For their own power

Behind life and death lies the line we all must cross one day
For we are the same
And as i dream
Of something real
We all will weep
For we cannot feel

The rivers are weeping
As the streets rain blood
As we now pass judgement
Let the bridges burn
Let the bridges burn
Let the bridges burn

Behind life and death lies the line we all must cross one day
For we are the same
For we are the same

And so we in sickness
Cry out our gaping maws
And so we in sickness
Reject our lives for dirt
