1. FIGHT OR DIE

The life I knew is but a memory, a better time corroded by a harsh reality
What have we let ourselves become?
A mercenary culture doomed to burn
So tell me what it’s gonna be when fire lights your city’s streets

Fight or die
It’s your only choice to survive
Fight or die
When fear and chaos collide
What the fuck has this world come to?
I just don’t know
What the fuck are you gonna do when the lights go black?

Your rights are under siege, under attack
And soon you’ll pay the price for your complacence with your life

Fight or die
It’s your only choice to survive
Fight or die
When fear and chaos collide
What the fuck has the world come to?
I just don’t know
What the fuck are you gonna do when lights go black?
It’s time we fired back

Fight or die
It’s your only choice to survive
Fight or die
When fear and chaos collide
Fight or die


2. BORROWED TIME

[Verse 1]
I’ll carry out my will, I’ll carry out my judgment for your filth
I’ll carry out my will and watch them carry you away

[Chorus]
Justice betrays you
Judgment awaits you in your grave
You’re living on borrowed time now, waiting for the hammer to fall

[Verse 2]
I carried out my will, I carried out my judgment for your filth
I carried out my will and now I carry out my days in my cell

[Chorus]
Justice betrays you
Judgment awaits me in hell
I’m living on borrowed time now, waiting for the hammer to fall


3. AVOW

A poisoned tide
Corrosive and alive
Rising to obliterate the weak?
An unpolluted mind?

Cuz I avow
I
I avow
To this Straight-Edge
I
I avow
Allegiant til' the fucking end

20 years
Where everything has changed
A culture suffocates beneath the lies
20 years and I still remain
My allegiance never fucking dies
Never dies

I
I avow
To this Straight-Edge
I
I avow
Allegiant til' the fucking end

I
I avow
To this Straight-Edge
I
I avow
Allegiant til' the fucking end

Let's go

I avow
I
I avow
To this Straight-Edge
I
I avow
To this Straight-Edge


4. HARDENED BY CONSEQUENCE

Never again, never again
Inferior, a casualty of lesser men
Killing within, killing within
The part of me that died in vain
Born again awash in flames

Now hardened by consequence
Tempered alone, flesh and stone
Hardened by consequence
Adversity has made me what I am

The flood, it took you from me
I wept for the past to return
But never again

Hardened by consequence
Tempered alone, flesh and stone
Hardened by consequence
Integrity has made me what I am


5. DEFEND WITH VIOLENCE

Defend with violence, the truth and what is right
Defend with violence, our honor, our way of life

When silence is the native tongue of cowards
And reason is the language you reject
Confronted, the high road has collapsed
Confronted, this is the only resolve that I have left, go

Defend with violence, the truth and what is right
Defend with violence, our honor, our way of life

When silence is the native tongue of cowards
And reason is the language you reject
Confronted, the high road has collapsed at last
Confronted, this is the only resolve that I have left

Go

Defend
Defend with violence, the truth and what is right
Defend
Defend with violence, do what I must do to survive


6. SUFFER, CONQUER

Greater men than you have bled only to fail
And greater men than you have died younger in vain
So spare us the lament, the tears, the speech
Just fall upon your fucking sword or put me out of your misery

You want respect because you put in your time
Entitled and indignant, you resign to a lie
Now I’m not saying that it’s time to concede
But in your disillusion you forgot what it means to

Suffer, suffer to succeed
To conquer you must suffer
Suffer, pain is not the enemy

Just what we need, another martyr to the crown of despair
Just what we need, another victim of austerity’s mind
Now spare us the lament, the years, the speech
Just go out on your fucking shield or put me out of your misery

You want respect because you put in your time
But your ambitions aren’t your God given rights
Now I’m not saying that it’s time to concede
But if you are to conquer, you must first learn to bleed and

Suffer, suffer to succeed
To conquer you must suffer
Suffer, pain is not the enemy
Suffer
Pain is not the enemy, you are


7. CUT AWAY

I refuse to piss away my time
I will dishonor these early graves
And I refuse to live my life choking on the ashes of my smoldering memories
Cut away cut away cut away from those who watched you sink
You'd rather keep them from your fucking life they only serve to make you
Weak
This is what I am
The strength instilled
Straight edge
Harder than iron my will,my will
This is for life
For those we lost
Straight edge, stronger than ever the cause, the cause
I refuse to piss away my time
I will dishonor these early graves
And I refuse to live my life choking on the ashes of my smoldering memories
Cut away cut away cut away this cancer from your life
Sever it sever it sever ties with all the scum who helped you
Die
This is what I am
The strength instilled
Straight edge
Harder than iron my will, my will
This is for life
For those we lost
Straight edge, stronger than ever the cause, the cause
Rise from the wreckage the life that you knew is beneath you
Purge the weakness bleed out the lies
Board up the ruins
Stronger than ever you rise
That's right
Straight edge
Stronger than ever we rise
Straight edge
Stronger than ever we rise


8. INTOLERANCE

I scraped you and that ignorance from underneath my heel
I treaded on the ashes of your faith
I cleaned your blood and vanity from sharpened steel
I cut a path through you and walked away

Devastation, the blessed end of you

Smash your arrogance with ire
Burn before the fire of my intolerance
Burn in the fire of my intolerance
The fire of my intolerance

For your depravity burns unrelenting in my veins
This is how I abide your kind and your degeneration

With devastation, the blessed end of you
Smash your attitude with ire
Burn before the fire of my intolerance
Smash your arrogance with ire
Burn before the fire of my intolerance
Burn in the fire of my intolerance


9. WITHOUT WEAKNESS

Grinding down beneath the weight of fear and insecurity
Coveting enslavement, what a vile travesty

Instead, I live without weakness
Die without fear
Live without weakness
Die without fear

A predatory species salivating for my mortal end
War is what you want, obliteration’s what you’ll fucking get

I live without weakness
Die without fear
Live without weakness
Die without fear or regret

You’re shallow, scared and overrated
I’m living without fear of death
Your life reeks of desperation
When can we hope to see it end?
Where does it end?

Live without weakness
Die without fear
Live without weakness
Die without fear or regret


10. BORN AND BURIED ALONE

[Verse 1]
Born into solitude and suffering
Dejected, despised, denied
Nothing could ever erase the past

[Chorus]
A cruel truth emerges from the lies
Born and buried alone
The truest words not carved into my stone

[Verse 2]
Hate distorts a benign reality
Dejected, despised, denied
Grinding my fists into stone below me

[Chorus]
A cruel truth emerges from these lies
Born and buried alone
The truest words not carved into my stone


11. CONDEMNED TO LIVE

War wages inside, violent disorder between heart and mind
Scorn sutures my eyes, eviscerating me of strength and pride
Condemned to live, to live with what I am
Condemned to live, to live with what I’ve done

Save me from life
Cleanse me of despair, save me from life
Cleanse me of remorse and fear
Liberate me from my mortal enemy
Liberate me from myself

Pain, paralyzing
Sentenced to carry these crosses of stone
Weight, unforgiving
Broken faith under splintering bone

Save me from life
Cleanse me of despair, save me from life
Cleanse me of remorse and fear
Liberate me from my mortal enemy
Liberate me from myself
Save me from life
