1. Nothing
Why did you make your heart a stone
A pretty graveyard for the unloved
A king-sized deathbed for the dying young
Now there’s a heart-slaughter going on
Should I force a smile or just play dead?
Should I self-destruct or just move ahead?
I am so alone
Desperation drives me nuts
I can feel the pain
It’s the beginning of the end
This must be the time
Where I put myself to rest
No more breath for the unwanted
No more life for the unnoticed
No more time to fix the broken
No more words for the unheard
I’m tired of this bleeding
Tired of being this broken man
Like the night murders the day
So will love assassinate me
I am so alone
Desperation drives me nuts
I can feel the pain
It’s the beginning of the end
This must be the time
Where I put myself to rest
Your nothing is my everything
Now I’m nothing
Can you see me?
Can you love me?
Now I’m nothing
Can you feel me?
Can you touch me?
I am bleeding. Can you feel it?
2. When Suicide Lies Dead
I have bled my way throughout life
Love could never stop this tragedy
I promised you rebellion ‘til the end
But I’ve seen my strength fade away
I have done the waiting, nothing came
Tired of all the fighting, tired of pain
Time’s come to collect, I am done
Time has passed me by, I will break
When the suicide lies stone-dead inside
Please understand I won’t be back
This breath will be my second to last
Tonight I’ll close my eyes
I won’t wake up at dawn
God has sent a bullet into my head
I‘ve suffered enough - understand
Sorry for the sorrow I have caused
Please try to forget me when I’m dead
When the suicide lies stone-dead inside
Please understand I won’t be back
I have died ‘cause I was destined to fall
No last kiss goodbye
Death taught me how to smile
This is my goodbye
Please let me go
Please set me free
This is my farewell to you
God has sent a bullet into my head
I‘ve suffered enough - understand
Sorry for the sorrow I have caused
Please try to forget me when I’m dead
This breath has been my very last
Tonight I’ve closed my eyes
Tonight I have died…
3. Alea Iacta Est
Consider yourself some kind of god
One that’s about to fall
Yeah, the die is cast
And to all those who cannot speak...
We’ll raise our voice until it breaks
A verbal riot, a sonic wave
This is the sound of revolution
One man, one voice
One voice, one vote
To overthrow the status quo
A distorted perception, a blinding deception
Your lies are the lock on our mind
Freedom is shackled when put in perspective
But this time you won’t get away
Truth hushed up in darkness and silenced to death
But in the end you will reap what you sow
No more oppression, the blinders are off
And the crippled have come to arise
And to all those who cannot speak...
We’ll raise our voice until it breaks
A verbal riot, a sonic wave
This is the sound of revolution
One man, one voice
One voice, one vote
To overthrow the status quo
A distorted perception, a blinding deception
Your lies are the lock on our mind
Freedom is shackled when put in perspective
But this time you won’t get away
Truth hushed up in darkness and silenced to death
But in the end you will reap what you sow
No more oppression, the blinders are off
And the crippled have come to arise
We’ll tear you down
The time is now
We are the voice inside your head
We are the thorn carving your flesh
We are the knife slicing your wrist
We are the ones bringing you down
Raise your hand
Make a wave
Raise your voice
Make a sound
4. Memoirs of a Murderer
I shot the prom queen
I shot her dead
A sick prologue
of the drama I provoked
My execution
a gentle torture
to ease your pain
as I cross the river
Make me bleed
Make it hard
Torture me
Justify the unjustified
Execute
Bring it on
Silence me
Justify what can’t be justified
Memoirs of a murderer
What was I thinking?
What are you thinking?
Murder born of murder
What was I thinking?
What are you thinking?
This is it
Turn it on
I must die
Tie me up to the electric chair
This is it
Turn it on
Watch me die
Put some fire in my eyes
What the hell do you think of when you turn on that switch
When you watch the empty chair?
I am walking my last mile back to hell where I belong
with her blood still on my hands
I will never bleed enough to satisfy your lust
Your vengeful heart still hurts
You can not kill me because the memory remains
Because the silence leaves a scar.
Look at you now
Can you still sleep at night?
5. Under Your Dead Hand
This is who I will be
Born to build my own
Witness your world end
You can’t convert me
I breathe, you suffocate me
You’ll die in me
Die in me
Watch me do it
Cling to the fucking cross
Tradition fails
Progression is what we need
I will not feed my mouth from your racist hand
Your archaic theories will never reach my ears
so you better cut your tongue
I breathe, you suffocate me
You’ll die in me
Die in me
Watch me do it
Cling to the fucking cross
Tradition fails
Progression is what we need
You don’t mean
a goddamn fucking thing to me now.
Under your dead hand we will rise
6. Marching into Hell
We’re marching into misery
A warpath paved with filthy lies
This is a morbid destiny
One that perverts morality
The only value that is left
captured inside a soldier’s gun
War is a subtle word for
an ordinary crime
Hell - give them hell
Kill - kill them all
Die - die with pride
Hate - hate them all
What are we fighting for?
What are we dying for?
All I really killed was a piece of myself
What are we fighting for?
What are we dying for?
I won’t let them kill all the good in me
Hell - bound in hell
Kill - the innocence
Die - die in vain
Hate - blinds us all
And you salute the flag
As I watch it burn
What are we fighting for?
What are we dying for?
All I really killed was a piece of myself
What are we fighting for?
What are we dying for?
I won’t let them kill all the good in me
Delusion/Illusion
Sacrifice after sacrifice after sacrifice
Sacrifice yourself for a change…
7. We Are the Plague
8. Miss 21% Perfect
I’d like to hit you with the back of my hand
so you would understand.
You’re not my role model, just a living lie
among the living dead.
Cut yourself. Break yourself. Hate yourself.
Gorgeous drop dead.
Addicted to a mirror’s lie.
Real beauty hides deep down inside.
A syringe fixed to score a thinner you.
Cut yourself. Break yourself. Hate yourself.
Miss 21% perfect.
Addicted to a mirror’s lie.
Real beauty hides deep down inside.
A syringe fixed to score a thinner you.
You’re so pretty when you’re dying.
You’re so pretty when you’re dead.
So take your shot and pay the price
cause soon you’re dead and gone.
Cut yourself. Break yourself. Hate yourself.
Tomorrow you’ll be alone.
Tomorrow you’ll be gone.
Tomorrow you’ll be dead.
Not my role model
Not my role model
Just a living lie.
9. The Common Lie
We swallow everything
We swallow lies
We swallow everything
We swallow filth
I watch the watchdog die in your hands
as he eats the common lie
I watch the watchdog die in your hands
as he feeds the common lie
The smart bomb only smart enough to deceive...
The stream of information tied to your hands
And your black propaganda controls the land
The public opinion butt-fucked, the story framed
Selling the war to the nation, your fancy game
What to believe?
We cannot see
What to believe?
We are not free
One more dead
One more lie
One more story
We’ll never know
I watch the watchdog die in your hands
as he eats the common lie
I watch the watchdog die in your hands
as he feeds the common lie
A nation born to be free under the spell of fear
Protest is just a social disease, nothing is what it may seem
Die with the lie
The flag on the coffin, the nation the killer, the media put on a leash
All for the man in the white house who thinks he can own the whole world
Die with the lie
Still we swallow everything
Still we swallow lies
Still we swallow everything
Still we swallow your filth
What to believe?
We cannot see
What to believe?
We are not free
10. Blanket of Black
Inhaled 1000 lies
Burn me, as I watch you die
Chose not to gorge their flesh
Only to ignite their misery
Force open your eyes
As the razor graces your throat
Hypocrisy
Through the cracks comes the smoke
Cover me
In a blanket of black
Cover me
With your death
Locked behind the cage
Eyes glazed with sorrow
Forced inhaled addiction
Without thoughts of tomorrow
Pain, I must breathe
As I watch you sink
Into the hands of justice
Smolder behind the black clouds
Inhale one last time
Force open your eyes
As the razor graces your throat
Hypocrisy
Through the cracks comes the smoke
Cover me
In a blanket of black
Cover me
With your death
Kiss the hand of god
As I watch you sink
Into the abyss
Burning in the flames of justice
11. Oath for an Oath
Thrown into this nightmare
Born, all by myself
Thrown inside this prison
Forced to be this self
We have come alone here
And alone we die
But in the time between
We have to unite
Love is overrated
But I exist through you
Rusted into my heart
Are the promises we made
My heart still beats for you no matter what
We stand as one, also in times of sorrow
Brothers of blood always confide each other
Strength by strength until death consumes us
Wherever you are
Wherever you go
You will always get the best of me
My heart still beats for you no matter what
We stand as one, also in times of sorrow
Brothers of blood always confide each other
Strength by strength until death consumes us
Thrown into this nightmare
Born, all by myself
Thrown inside this prison
Forced to be this self
We have come alone here
And alone we die
But in the time between
We have to unite
Oath for an oath
Wherever you are
Wherever you go
You will always get the best of me
I stand up for you
You stand up for me
And I would rather die than ever turn my fucking back on you
Cause you are life to me as I am life to you
Wherever you are
Wherever you go
You will always get the best of me
