1. YOU ARE WE

Here lies our addiction
The price is a truce
To hide the afflicted right under our nose
Tyrants deprivers of truth
Take what you can
We've got nothing to lose
So come and get it
We've got nothing to lose
Yeah I fucking said it
Deprivers of the truth
To be honest they force this upon us
Show us the path
Paved with glass
Sentiment at last
The knife behind your back

Our smoke will paint the sky
Cover up the lights that guide us
Celebrate decline
We made our bed and I will lie to you
That everything's alright
We'll dam the river
We'll dam the river and try to
Hide from the water
Pre creation in the reign of sin
If the land has been swallowed
We'll learn how to swim
Begging for our sorrow
The tides are turning

You want your countless wars
We want to count less wars
You want to point the blame
At the heretics
But you're the hypocrites
Its only hate you preach
And when we call for peace
You call it anarchy
I hope your god can save you
As your devil leads the way
We've got nothing to lose
So come and get it
We've got nothing to lose
Yeah I fucking said it
Deprivers of the truth

It's like raking dead leaves in the wind
It's like saints living life without sins
It's like digging our graves in the sand
It's like raking dead leaves in the wind

Our smoke will paint the sky
Cover up the lights that guide us
Celebrate decline
We made our bed and I will lie to you
That everything's alright
You are we
You are we
Lucifer
You are we


2. STEAL THE SUN

If there was a plan to fail I would've found another way
To start over again and reset
I realized that if they told us to change
Then we would always stay the same
You can steal the sun but there's a light you can't replace
How does it feel to have everything you'll ever need
And know it's never gonna be, never gonna be enough?
Reforming
We're all terminal
Yeah, reforming

Did you sell your soul to the headlines?
We'll never let you take this away from us
There's no bribe I'd take to betray this trust
Teach our young why we can't survive?
Bow down to the hypocrites
Or the great deceivers of our innocence
Did you bite your tongue, live another lie?
The new wave of realistic minds
What's broken can be fixed
Me and my brothers know we'll never hide
We're living in a system on the brink of sacrifice
And still why are we dying to live?
A sickness we're living in from here to here
We're like a flickering flame
We're never once the same from here to here
You can steal the sun
It wouldn't be enough
We're all terminal, can you feel it ?
Reforming

We're never gonna let you take this away from us
There's no bribe I'd take to betray this trust
Or bow down to the hypocrites
Or the great deceivers of our innocence
The new wave of realistic minds
What's broken can be fixed
We're living in a system on the brink of sacrificing everything

Why are we dying to live?
A sickness we're living in
From here to here
A sickness we're living in
From here to here
We're like a flickering flame
We're never once the same
From here to here
Let go! The grip as you struggle for this
Like the carrion crows
It's another vicious cycle
Yeah, from here to hell


3. FEEL

We’ve always been kept in the dark
A vision of our sanctuary
Overshadowed by deceit from the start
The lie within belief
All our thoughts and uncertainties
Are mirrored by our grieving plea
The breathless wind, the verse of debauchery
Scorched by the tyrants of industry
She cries "What is it you want from me?"

So I will beg the feeble question
Our divided species asks
If we’re gunning for this
But we know that it’s diminishing fast
Can we at least enjoy it while it lasts?
The tidal waves of fear are bearing down on me
Our confusion connects us, our deception unites us
Said the nomad to the sea
What is home without these streets I know?
Our destiny is at our feet
We can march without this beat I know
Never say, nihlist of modern day
Let’s feel,
Let’s feel this together
We are a species of course we fight
Fighting started life
It's time to rectify
Stop living in your fantasy lives
Don’t let your body be a graveyard for your mind

Turn it up, turn it up
This is a broadcast brought to you by the rank and file
Not the back of the room
Exploit our minds and keep us idolizing ignorance
There’s a spark in the fuse
There’s a fire inside that’ll guide us through
The remains of a nation divided
Said the nomad to the sea
What is home without these streets I know?
Our destiny is at our feet
We can march without this beat I know
Never safe, in a black market democracy
Never safe, to no avail we turn the other way
To no avail we turn the other way

Let’s feel, let’s feel this together
All of my struggles
Like steel trying to become wood
But seeing it in others is a forest fire
All of my struggles
We’re still trying to become one
When will we learn that all we have is enough?


4. EMPIRE OF SILENCE

This empire of silence sways in the wind
Leaves for the winter won't you shelter me
Look in the mirror, tell me what you see
A cause for the cancer or a remedy?

Every rung beneath my feet
The weight will bare on shoulders build to lean
The strength inside a seed, we're all alone
If I learn from our deceits
Let the water guide us to the sea
For all our wounds will heal
We're all alone

We're building walls
Where there should have been bridges
Borders in the land that we roam
We pray for war like it's a fucking religion
When greed is all we know

Conditioned innocent with loves intention
Confused together, realize we're all the same

This empire of silence sways in the wind
Leaves for the winter won't you shelter me
Look in the mirror, tell me what you see
A cause for the cancer or a remedy?
Pull out the knife that you've earned
This world's a loss to an age of a self loving race
With no desire to change
Emergency positions please, reprieve humanity

We're building walls
Where there should have been bridges
Borders in the land that we roam
We pray for war like it's a fucking religion
When greed is all we know
We won't give up on the truth
We won't give in to their rules
We're not afraid of a world corrupted
We won't give up on you


5. WIDE AWAKE

Make sure you work to save, to pay the wage
To get the raise, so fuck today away
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
Make sure you suffer, recover and learn to forgive
Mother, Mother Earth our only exorcist
You want fame, well they're watching you anyway
You haunt, you hide, you victimize
Creep like you're unseen and paralize
Are you waiting for the glass to break and fall at your feet?
To say you knew that it was coming now you know it's too late
You turned the page, it's a world away
Another dose of ignorance will kill the pain

Keep our attention for long enough to cover up
The truth that we're all corrupt, we fall like dominos
What they told us to trust will keep us all alone
Please don't think outside the box and
Make sure you work to save, to pay the wage
To get the raise, so fuck today away
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
You haunt, you hide, you victimize
You want fame, well they're watching you anyway
We're just killing time
The sorrow is our expression a seldom promise we keep
The struggle learnt in the lesson to only live by our means
Is that all we'll ever be? Not me, not me, not me

Keep our attention for long enough to cover up
The truth that we're all corrupt, we fall like dominos
What they told us to trust will keep us all alone
Please don't think outside the box and
Make sure you work to save, to pay the wage
To get the raise, so fuck today away
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
Two days to dream, after five routines
Seven days to think of what we could've been
Is it too late to try, escape or redefine?
The safe, the sound of life before it goes
Watching others live to kill the time
Why don't we live like we're alive?
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake


6. SILENCE SPEAKS

Where is your heart?
Can we beat this if we all
Tear the borders, break the walls
Together as one
The cruel hand of a faithless destiny that never sleeps
The guiltless restraints assured by deceit, are we free?
Are we all alone?
If you're gonna accuse me of pouring too much salt in the wound
We have just proved that they can pollute our heads with the news
They will manipulate the masses again
If you're gonna accuse me of telling you what you already knew
It's the same song sung with a different truth
And all of us forget it cause our head's inside the noose
They will manipulate the masses again
Yeah yeah yeah we won't forget it
You better pray for absolution
You can change but you can't deny
A new wave in a terror nation
Why do we ignore the warning signs?
Board it up, the borders are shut
The blood of the innocent is under the rug
White lies in a world corrupt
Are we too blind to see through honest eyes?
War will cease when we refuse to fight

Hope widows, shattered windows
Restriction without effect
Dead lines in silhouettes
Why do we ignore the warning signs
Cold calls to derelict homes
Needles at the side of the road
Wires and liars like thorns that won't let go
Are we too blind to see through honest eyes?
War will cease when we refuse to fight
Tell me where is your heart?

I think the silence speaks volumes
Now we march to our own drums
They're only singing what they want to be sung
Hate's become the new anthem
How could you? When did our veins run numb?
We treat our species like a fucking flood
Hate's becoming our new anthem
The longer I live, I learn that we don't belong
We've taken more than we can give
And you'd do better on your own
And you'd do better, better on your own
Are we all alone?
Tear the borders break the walls
Take us back to when we're all
Together as one, taught to love
Born to live and let go


7. SETTLE DOWN SOCIETY

Silence the battlefield sinks beneath my feet
Settle down society
Surrender all we know
Said thanks but I'm okay with what I'm told
I probably should have known better
But I'll learn right from wrong
Better I listen to myself when
I'm burnt from the flames but still fuel the fire
I can't promise I'll be home
Can't promise I'll be home

Can you hear the casualty call to the none believers?
Justify a cause where we don't deserve to live
Evil minded corporate war for a lost allegiance
Sacrifice all for the cost of innocence
Can't you see that when the time comes
And they call on us
We'll show them the white flag
Soaked in our blood
We're damned if we do, damned if we don't
Silence the battlefield sinks beneath my feet
Settle down society

Sail fort hope, safest seas
How shallow of me to live like my life's misery
Will we be washed up with the wreckage of savior?
And I'm sick of hearing no fault of mine
I can't promise I'll be home, can't promise I'll be home
Wake up!
We'll show them the white flag soaked in our blood
We left the wing because the violence was deafening

Can you hear the casualty call to the none believers?
Justify a cause where we don't deserve to live
Evil minded corporate war for a lost allegiance
Sacrifice all for the cost of innocence
Can't you see that when the time comes
And they call on us
We'll show them the white flag
Soaked in our blood
We're damned if we do, damned if we don't
Silence the battlefield sinks beneath my feet
Settle down society
A scarlett letter marks us all
We're damned if we do, damned if we don't


8. HURRICANE

All my thoughts are useless,
They keep me from seeing the bright light.
Falling down this well now,
I'm reaching but it's too high.
Is this the end, the fall of man?
Did we take nothing from the meaning of
Change for the masses?
We're never gonna learn.
If all we do is take, take, no return.
Blame it on the outside, close the curtains.
Dare me to explain why we don't deserve
The land that we fill and the blood that they spilt
Not a selfish intention; an order to kill.
Kill ourselves with the question,
Destroy or rebuild Singing SOS to ourselves.

All my thoughts are useless,
They keep me from seeing the bright light.
Falling down this well now,
I'm reaching but it's too high.
It'll take a hurricane,
To clean up all the mess we made.
If we're gonna fly this flag of peace,
We'll need you.
We need to dig this up from the roots
And if a god's looking down we'll give them something to lose.

Assailants; second nature hypocrites.
Tell me that it's not as bad as it may seem.
Surviving this death trap by the skin of our teeth,
Oxygen thieves. Are we just Oxygen thieves?
This is survival of the sickest.
We're the casualties that keep living
The same shit over and over again
The end is coming

It'll take a hurricane,
To clean up all the mess we made.
If we're gonna fly this flag of peace,
We'll need you.

It'll take a hurricane,
To clean up all the mess we made.
If we're gonna fly this flag of peace,
We'll need you.
We need to dig this up from the roots
And if a god's looking down we'll give them something to lose.
All my thoughts are useless,
They keep me from seeing the bright light.
Falling down this well now,
I'm reaching but it's too high.


9. REVOLT

Calling all heathens to the fire
Our only hope is built from the ashes below
Our leaders won't save us
Your queen is dead

Just my luck, it's never been enough
There's only black clouds when I look up
It'll take thirteen nails to hang me from this cross
Trade labour cocaine, blood in the sink
Wash it down and forget what you've seen
Punch drunk in a world of knives
Unscathed to the naked eye
I'd chase the sun over the horizon
If you believed the light would guide us
Towards the fight but away from the sirens
All I need is the air inside my lungs
So hold your head up high

Revolt, this is revolting, revolt, this is revolting
I'll let the state of the world speak for itself
Malignent rituals of apathy
You have the guts to point the finger at me
I don't care what they say
I am your eulogy in this state of reckoning
I'd chase the sun over the horizon
If you believed the light would guide us
Towards the fight but away from the sirens
All I need is the air inside my lungs
You want the bad news
We're still waiting for the greater good
I'll let the state of the world speak for itself

Don't try to convince me
That you're speaking for the rank and the file
While we stand and you hide
We'll be heard for miles
Speaking with the voice of a giant
No borders or sides
No evidence of a trial
There's no escape from their lies
It's just a crooked alliance
Where the wrong lead the right
If we're strong we'll survive
And realize that we will never
Step forward if we're standing in line
We'll never step forward if we're standing in line
So hold your head up high
Revolt, this is revolting, revolt, this is revolting
I'll let the state of the world speak for itself


10. CIVIL ISOLATION

Said the sceptic
Born and bred negative
No peace for the calm collective
There's a cold war coming in
Please let me know when it's gone
It's really not the best of times
And all we've got is guided by this light within
I'll hold us both until the smoke clears
We're suffocating

Sick of our society
Sick of trying to fit inside a life I cannot lead
I'm sick of always following
Sick of trying to be another cog in their machine
I'm sick of running on empty, pushing the blame
Waiting for tomorrow to save us from today
There's no profit in poverty
And I'm running on empty
I'm running on empty
Running myself into the ground

We feel the need
It's a darkness disease
In this dead town, lights out
The creatures come out in the streets
My ears are burning
In this circle of eyes
Close the curtain and hide the knife
We're stacking up
We're piling high
We've gone too far to recognise salvation
This is civil isolation
The bitter truth of the world is fucking sickening
Tear my eyes on your barbed wire facade
Divides of colour and small talk
Medicate for patience
Dig up the graves of our saviours
Civil isolation

It's all gone right to my head
Wondering why we're not all dead
Safe to say I'm not alone in this
There's something deep within we miss
There's a line in the sand that we won't look past
A cure for the pain but it's out of our grasp
If all we love will leave us asking
Why do we deserve disaster?
Let me know
Please let me know when it's gone
It's really not the best of times
And all we've got is guided by this light within
I'll hold us both until the smoke clears
We're suffocating


11. IN ANOTHER NOW

In another now
The words we speak
Will fade away
And mean nothing to me
We are an avalance of doubt
Suffocating in the wake
Past the point of no return
The rivers like the devil's veins will guide the way
Our crysalis in chains
We've outstayed our welcome under a thirstful sun

Like an island lost at sea
Naive to science the water eats away
And all we do is preach a way
To cure what we can't keep
In another now
The words we speak
Will fade away
And mean nothing to me
It means something to me

I climbed to the top of the mountain
And found another towering over me
At the edge without intention or sense
To find a destiny kept behind the fence
That she tempts us to ascend
Lock gate, hide the keys
Take the pain that we feel and call it hope
Why do we destroy everything we try to love?
Take the pain that we feel and call it hope
We destroy everything we try to love
Again and again our vice tradition
When will we learn our rapture is our prison?

Like an island lost at sea
Naive to science the water eats away
And all we do is preach a way
To cure what we can't keep
And mean nothing to me
It means something to me

It's mine but it's probably stolen
Paid the price but it's probably free
For a life unprescribed, an escape from the lines
I can survive if I know you are we
