1. They Walk Among Us
The machine screams to life
As the gears begin to grind
They oil it with our blood
Fascists supreme in time
Watch us today
They lead the blind astray
They lead the sheep this way
New order reigns
Gouge out my eyes then
And burn away the flesh
If this is meant to be
Then I shall have no regrets
Bar code on our skin
Microchip beneath the flesh
The new order reigns this way
They control everything
Technology reigns
They see everything
I awake to pain
Blood splatters me
Bleed my soul fascist supreme
They walk amongst us
Bleed my soul fascist supreme
They walk amongst us
Oh can't you see
That they've stolen our dreams
They control everything
Please God help us
Oh can't you see
On barbs of steel we bleed
They mark the flesh
They walk amongst us
2. Erosion
My life my pain
Suffer this way
Meth stole your dreams
Erode everything
Total loss of faith
Downward spiral of pain
Path of disbelief
Misguided hate
Erode what was meant for me
Bare bones exposed for me to see
Self inflicted pain
Paranoid it seems
Meth clouds your dreams
Alienation leads
Intolerant breed
Ignorant teach
Corroded everything
Total loss of faith
3. Numb
Wake up each morning the same fucked up world
I suffer, I suffer some more
The pain you gave me, this pain that I live
I suffer without and I suffer within
The moments they seem so strange
Move slower and now I'm insane
This life this love you left for me
Pain you gave me, this pain that I live
I suffer without and I suffer within
Wish that I couldn't, I couldn't feel
Wish I was numb the numbing's so real
It seems it's all just the same
My life it's twisted insane
Tortured in mind, and tortured in soul
Corpse alive won't breathe again
My life it's all that I am
This life this love that you left for me
Pain that you give it never goes away
Feel numb
Pain that you give it's always just the same
Feel numb
Pain that you give it never goes away
Pain that you give it's always just the same
Wish I could feel, wish I was fuckin' dead
Wish it wasn't quite this way but I feel the same
Wounds that you give they never heal the same
Feel numb
Wounds that you give they always bleed the same
Feel numb
Wounds that you give they always bleed the same
Wounds that you give they always scar the same
Wish I couldn't feel I wish it wasn't real
Wish it wasn't quite this way but I feel the same
4. Poisoned Minds
They bow to the gods they've made
And they pray to the idols
And they sit and worship all the while
They march in line
Believe the government lies
And do exactly as they're told
Growing older
And you see that there's got to be
That there's got to be a way somehow
They televise
All the government lies
And propaganda is their way
Your mind slipping slowly
Poisoned all the while
Left in decay rotting
Your poisoned mind
They know where you're going
And you see where you've been
And you know that you gotta find your way
Realize that al their truths are lies
And they slowly slip into your brain
Growing colder
And the life you once knew
And you know that you gotta find your way
They hypnotize
While they mesmerize
And it slowly slips into your mind
Now you see just where you're going
Now you see just where you've been
See the life that they made for you
Burn the number into your skin
See the truth, speak no lies
See the world, speak and rise
Now you know all of the reasons
Just what they want
See the mark that they place on you
Now you know what must be done
Reject all of their reasons
Rise again spit in their eye
The world controlled with hatred
Population now are blind
See the truth, speak no lies
See the world, speak and rise
Cancer growing in your mind
Slipping slowly they take control this way
Reason no longer fade away
Poisoning your mind everyday
5. The Hell We Make
Locked away for all of time
Spend the years, yes, serve your time
You'll see what we want you to see
We give you reality
We teach you what to believe
You'll see our truth in time
Can't you see what's going on
Can't you see the lives we live are lies
You have all been sold
I reject your reality
I reject the life you've made for me
I'll think for my self
Reality we give, truth we give
Life we create, the hell we make
Life we create, the hell we make
Your life means nothing to me
The truth I speak is surely lies
Guarded closely biding its time
We govern society, We govern reality
Your life is what we made
Programmed from birth to the grave
Can't you see what's going on
Can't you see the lives we live are lies
We've all been sold
I reject your reality
I reject the life you've made for me
My mind is clear
I can think for my fucking self!
6. Nothing Stands
Walk the stoney path barefoot and bloody
I've seen it all before but I know not the land
Through closed eyes a thousand times before
What is this place
Where nothing breathes or stands
Head to the sky, back to the wind
Blood stains my palm, cold is my smile
Death hears my cry
No flesh on the bone, nothing can stand
Nothing can live
What is this place oh so cold in which we live
Oh a tragedy, I want to walk into the sun
Nothing stands, nothing breathes
Nothing lives, nothing bleeds
Laying on the ground, staring at the sun
the sun scars my face, dust covers me
Pray for a breeze, cool my weary brow
Dreamscape hell, made with our own hands
Nothing stands, nothing stands
I've walked the stoney path for far too long
Dreamscape hell, made with our own hands
No flesh on the bone, nothing can stand
Nothing can live
No place to hide, nowhere to run
Where are we now
7. Godhead
I hear their hushed tones
But I know they're lies
Selling deception pushing lies
Promised violence always denied
Oldmen lead to doomsday
The godhead falls in disarray
Dark visions that I dream
Oldmen lead to doomsday
Their godhead, changing world
Blasphemy, you will know
Heresy, you will take
Sacrilege, you will speak, lies
The new world that I've seen
Fallacies that they've taught
Hypocracies that they teach
I will speak what I've seen
No more visions cloud my reason
Revelations drive me mad
See the changing of the seasons
The new world rises from the old
They can't shut us up
We've seen the truth
We'll speak our free minds
Revelations
I will teach the new world
I will speak my free mind
I will show what I've seen
Godhead fall in due time
8. Oblivion
What evil lies behind his eyes
What darkness lies in his heart
See the mark that he bears impart evil in his heart
See the path of hate, desire, and greed he leads
See the life he takes
Growing closer to the moment
Appointed in it's place
Into the abyss now there'll be oblivion
They come to take him down there'll be oblivion
The weight of this man's soul
Grows heavy on his heart in time
Now you see the grim reality
Of what he's surely done
Pursuit of power, greed, has lead your life astray
Blood seals the pact forever now intact
You've thrown it all away
Growing closer to the moment
Now there's no escape
Blood was spilled, the pact was sealed
See what you have surely made
Justice is calling, scales are weighing flames
Blood was spilled, the pact was sealed
Never ending pain
Ever lasting, flesh torn away
Life is ending, death is nearing
See what you have surely made
Justice is calling, scales are weighing flames
Forgiveness is long past
See the life that you create
Everlasting, the suffering and the pain
You'll pay the price
