1. First Among Equals
Reveal a truth and right & wrong my proof
About conventional religious laws
Feeding off the nativety of man
With it you quench their thirst
Say thy sacred name in vain those
Hypocrites shall fall first
Drowning in holy water
Tension level rising higher
Been exposed a hidden lust
Done the meek such injust
Preaching with a forked tongue
Reeking of false prophecy
Now you pray that what you've done
Could all be erased from history
Erased from history pray
Man you're the one who set the trap
But fell into your own layer
Deceptive dealing Christians calling
Moral majority leader crawling
Now ask yourself, do they really care?
Blind to the displays of misconception
Send the bucks we'll give you life
Brainwashed, thought you was the light
It's just a slice of their price
To know the difference between good and bad
The contradiction's what makes you cry
The only time you're equal is the second before you die
The first among equals the first
2. The Essence Of Ignorance
Massive fear sweeps the nation
Now's the time for segregation
Ignorance
Hatred
Fueled by times that have passed
Tis what leads us to our burning graves
Our mental capacity our malicious ways
Am I deveiving you all
Our next youth our flesh and blood
Shall witness the fall
I sometimes ask myself when I grow old
Will the hatred and fear in me subside
Conformity a grain of earth
Tis placed upon you from your birth
Blindness your life slips away
False morals eat and rip your brain
I was born an ignorant man
Before you I stand an ignorant man
My life it means nothing was planned 'till the end
Judgement has come watch me grovel and beg
If you lead the same life
The times not to waste take my hand
3. Citizen Soldier
Wasting while waiting still feeling the heat
Killfire burns on soldiers souls that I still keep
Endless years wondering why I feel so strong
For playing the war game when I know it is so wrong
Flashbacks are taunting me
Victims screams inside of me, faces that I still see
Counting the toll of the dead
Holy horrors race through my head knowing they will never let me be
Power mongers
Shout out the orders
Sent across many borders
To live out the glory seekers set of rules
Annhialation of lives unknown
Being brainwashed and left alone
So blind not to see the way of fools
Have no one but myself to blame
Is any killer worth more than his crime
Shoot to kill my past way of life
All to say I've served my time
4. Holocaust (Fall In Grace)
Self enduced solitary confinement
Endless screams of my hollow shell
Emptiness grips can't find what I've lost
Misplacing dreams alone in my cell
Echoing the sounds of silence
Slip in time feel I've lost control
Expressions alone will stay unknown
Eternally at rage in my soul
Time stands still for no man
I can't tell but who fucking can
Wheather or not a nuclear holocaust will be our future's plan
What a waste a world defaced
Feeling disgraced blacken my heart
No more lying time or buying
We've all been dying from the start
Death in store the reapers door
Can't take no more cross the wire
Missiles deployed people destroyed
Can't avoid to feel the fire
As life goes on your turn another page
Eccentricity of mind intact
Confusion games are my reason for rage
For feeling worlds conditions impact
5. Abuse
6. Overcome
Saring down the hard line
Balance on the pressure point
Confront life's confusions on it's infinite bounds
Weighing all the options that puzzle fits piece by piece
To dance on the edge a way of life, and a pledge
Do you find it's just a waste of time
To sign your name on the dotted line
Another application to the school of life
Is what I had in mind
Overcome
To you the world is so reality cold
Built of wall that you must climb
Borders that trap, limits to contain
Every little thing you try
Wake up get with it man
You can't change a system that don't want to be changed
Live your life in doubt and you'll be left out
Say to yourself is my life prearranged
7. Foot From The Edge
Dark night people look down at me
Dark world I have yet but seeking
I know an endless war I'm fighting
Step forth I'll show you how it will be
Fast ride power push me forward
Life ends no my death not phasing
You live by day I live by hours
Death game life a foot from the edge
A foot from the edge
8. Sooner Than You Think
Watching the wolrd with hatred and despise
Keep your eye on the truth cause it's a pack of lies If we're all created equal than who do you believe
Killing yourself to live are we not all decided
Waiting for the sands of time to run out
Feeling life's confusing, world full of doubt
Strength and mind you've got what it takes
Who can be real in a world full of fakes
Inside yourself there's no place to hide
Time will still exist
Laugh at the world on it's downhill slide
The revelious can't resist
Reality becoming clearer
Reflection in the mirror
The end it draws oh so nearer
Sooner than you think
This breakdown of conformity has built up through the years
Go preach in someone else's face your speaking to deaf ears
Stop wasting your emotion can't you feel your slipping soul
Drowning in fake reality fate will take it's toll
Nothing left to life at all
Hear the crys of darkness they call
Come the time for the world to fall
Sooner that you think
9. Contaminated
Chemically induced
And you're the creator
Experiment and error
Reoccuring toxic nightmare
Blind are the eyes of the world devious
You know the outcome but remain mysterious
Environmental accidents run amok
Corporate fat cats that just don't give a fuck
Errosion of mother nature insanity
Don't they give a damn about humanity
First class disrespect
Moral ethics gone to shit
In my head they've done the deeds of fools
Ask the billion dollar dealers
Who will be the healers
Whe the world lies dead in a molten cess pool
Keeping the world in silence
Constantly casting shades of fear
Mindless acts that reek of violence all your directions that I hear
Deceptions through the years
Misconceptions, I see clear
Contaminated
