1. Ripped To Shreds
Hungry for your life
Blinding you with words
Playing on your innocence
The truth that goes unheard
Fucking with your life
Fucking with your head
Let your knowledge be your strength
Or you'll be ripped to shreds
Filling you with lies
While breathing down your neck
Bleeding your well dry
Broken into a wreck
Fucking with your life
Fucking with your head
Let your knowledge be your strength
Or you'll be ripped to shreds
Ripped To Shreds
Ripped To Shreds
Ripped To Shreds
Ripped To Shreds
2. Face Reality
I told you once
Don't make me tell you again
Stop hanging around
Fantisizing that your some kind of friend
You've had your chance
This life belongs to me
I can't understand
What it is your trying to be
Just leave me alone
Stay the fuck away from me
I won't leave myself open
To your lies and deceit
You've had your chance
This life belongs to me
I can't understand
What it is your trying to be
Reality - Face Reality
Reality - Face Reality
You've had your chance
This life belongs to me
I can't comprehend
What it is your trying to be
You've had your chance
This life belongs to me
I can't understand
What it is your trying to be
3. Give Yourself
Death before dishonour
But not before your time
Guilty as the victim
Your conscience you resign
No questions to be asked
No story to be told
To die by ones self
The truth will then unfold
Give yourself to the pain
Let your mind take control
Bend your body to the train
Let the rules take thier hold
Piercing eyes converge
Tied to a stringent law
The finger pointed at your worth
Counter action is withdrawn
Give yourself to the pain
Let your mind take control
Bend your body to the train
Let the rules take thier hold
4. Scorn
Likes rats we strip the earth
Rampant animals and beast
Children in a stupor
Frustation is unleashed
Cauterize emotion
Striking at our worst fear
Breeding with unopen minds
And drowning in our tears
Grasping bloodied hands
Reaching out in agony
Life torn apart at the seams
Gripping throes of death
Crippling with zest
We are impaling our own being
Scorn Scorn
Corruptive minds at work
Open our eyes to see
Complusive wat to act
Implusive way to be
Eating at the remains
To crumble in decay
Turning onto ourselves and
The life that we reject
Scorn Scorn
5. Time To React
Scars of rejection
Visible by all
Writhing indecision
Lacking direction
Time
Your wasting your time
Confined
To stand in line
Wasting away - Lies and fact
Freedom betrayed - Time to react
Power of perspective
Squeezing life from hope
Feeding on intelligence
Take the final fall
Time
Your wasting your time
Confined
To stand in line
Wasting away - Lies and fact
Freedom betrayed - Time to react
Connected to the system
Tied down by the law
Serve and obey
Feed your daily morals
Time
Your wasting your time
Confined
To stand in line
Wasting away - Lies and fact
Freedom betrayed - Time to react
Wasting away - Lies and fact
Freedom betrayed - Time to react
Time To react
Time To react
Time To react
Time To react
6. Trapped Behind A Shadow
Futureturns the tides
An abstract view on life
Morbid thoughts that dominate
Control your instinct to survive
Left in the dark again
Trapped behind a shadow
When will the confusion end
Left with no to-morrow
So many thoughts we cannot see
Condemn us to a life of sorrow
Leaving one to conjure ways
And try to make it through to-morrow
Left in the dark again
Trapped behind a shadow
When will the confusion end
Left with no to-morrow
Left in the dark again
Trapped behind a shadow
When will the confusion end
Left with no to-morrow
7. Wasted Life
Trapped in a cage
Behind these steel iron bars
Left to stare at the world where
There is nothing withing grasp
The price that you pay when
You are no naive
It is a time to count your blessings
A time to swallow grief
Wasted
Life
Wasted
Wasted Life
The fine line that you walk is
Made for one to trip
To absorb the shocks you take
But give you little grip
Replenish the supply of anger in
Your eyes
Cut you a little slack and
Take you from behind
Wasted
Life
Wasted
Wasted Life
Fear, pain, desire, greed, torture, trust, revenge, loss
Smother any flame
Before it gets a chance to burn
Put aside all trauma that
You have seen or heard
You only get one life
The once chance you get
Living one day at a time
Will be your one regret
Wasted
Life
Wasted
Wasted Life
8. Taken By Force
Persecute the ones
The innocent are overcome
I won't accept your scorn
You won't accept the norm
I sense your anger
The pain that burns inside
You don't redeem my opinion
Or diminish my pride
Diminish or return
Castigate my word
I can't accept your cause
When you take me
Legislate the law
Bu took for any flaw
Or you'll be taken by force
Rules that are made
Are rules to be obeyed
Taken by force
I sense your anger
The pain that burns inside
You don't redeem my opinion
Or diminish my pride
Objection is not the answer
To this voracious form of cancer
Eating at the freedom of others
To enjoy thier own existence
Taken by force
Taken by force
Legislate the law
But look for any flaw
Or you'll be taken by force
Rules that are made
Are rules to be obeyed
Taken by force
Taken
9. Pity
Looking for to-morrow
Before you find to-day
To be abused that way
A sign of the times
Society to blame
You ask yourself the question
Was it self inflicted pain
Blame
Who's to blame
Blame
Who's to blame
The chance of a new life
Or the beginning of the end
Looking to-wards the future
Drowning in self pity
As time presses on
No point in looking back
The past times are gone
10. Hands Of Fate
Crusing through life aways playing the fool
Live my life with no veneration my temptation
I am the one who takes the law in my own hands
To serve my own master, disrespect ay my command
On this fateful night I push my luck too far
My fate beyond the wheel intoxicated disregard
The fervour starts to unlesh myself control
I suddenly forsee my life to unfold
Now as I tempt the hands of fate
I'm left to confront my fatal mistake
Now as I die by the hands of fate
I glimpse at the lives I now devastate
In my carefree world I do as I please
Adrenaline rush takes my mind, danger is my release
My thoughts in turmoil, my self control in disaary
But I don't care, live or die, I'm living for to-day
As I start to push my speed around the bend
I suddenly miss the turn and kill my best friend
Panic Stricken I am in a state of fear
I'm screaming out for help but there's no one to hear
My body starts to surrender I cannot carry on
I find it hard to breath adn my hopes are all gone
As I lay awake in this living nightmare
No help is at hand, I'm left in despair
Now as I tempt the hands of fate
I'm left to confront my fatal mistake
Now as I die by the hands of fate
I glimpse at the lives I now devastate
