1. 3rd Degree Betrayal
In my memory since day one - I relied on you to be there for me
You were so solid - Some one I know I trust
The years pass so quickly - Imminent changes unpredicted
A dark side unthreatened - Brought forth into the light
It happened so sudden - No eyes witnessed the transformation
The evil taken its hold - Too far gone now for cleansing
Shredded innocence takes new form - To show no mercy
A glutton, now drunken - Feeding on my misery
You’ve crossed the line of trust
Never again will I give you - The chance to fuck me over
The fear of injustice - Repetitions tortured visions
So naïve I was guided - I was the lamb led to the slaughter
A target in waiting - So close, so easy to deceive
Broke boundaries no regrets - Bridges burned in all directions
You’ve butchered forgiveness - Raping rights that civil men died for
No sign of sympathy - Your body rids itself of feeling
No means of redemption - You’re standing with one foot in your grave
Third degree betrayal - Forgiveness is not an option
You kicked me while I was down - You know
How vindictive I can be - I ponder on the plot it’s still vague
Revenge so much sweeter - When time tears
The wounds so much deeper - Third degree betrayal
Sentenced by me the laws in my hands - Justice will prevail,
Your soul - Will bear scars of my hatred
For I wear scars that time cannot heal
We are both scarred for life.
2. Americanization
Alone and insecure - Suspended deep in thought
Naïve to the ways - Of this dog eat dog world
It’s eating at my mind - Of what we will become
The vision makes me cringe - Dawned upon by the rudest of awakenings
Decollation of our nation - Execution solution
Decollation of our nation - Mind protect cease infect
True faces, now exposed, exposed
Mandatory witness to a horrific demise - Plausible euphoria in the script of lies
Single out the perpetrator and destroy his face - He’s dead and in the ground
As another takes his goddamned place
Our nation, mind protect Americanize
Our etiquette
Gut drops, canyon depth, can’t stomach, the loss
Gut drops, canyon depth, can’t stomach, what we face
Tomorrow
SPINELESS FUCK
Cheek to cheek, just like the sheep - We fall in line, debility we hear the screed
Await the time, were cynical - But controllable, and vulnerable
This commotion, mixed emotion - Smashes my mind out into vortex
3. Fusion
In a day and age of opportunity - I just can’t seem to stay on my feet
Morals have all gone by the wayside - And my neighbourhood is now full of freaks
I’m getting sick of this shit it’s so fake - Disillusioned again
Nothing is quite as it seems - The streets are full of pretenders
Trying to get ahead of the rat race - Now every one's got attitudes
Instead of just being themselves - Temptation will be your best friend
As it passes you on to fate,ha, ha, ha
So sick of this, it’s more than a weakness - It’s a disease
I was so blind to see, that I'd think my self - Into misery.
I gotta learn not to care - Not give a fuck.
Generations are confused and lost - Influenced by all walks of life
But I only listen to me - I’m the only one I can trust
It’s getting a little out of hand - I think I'm losing control
My demons are rising again - Like vultures they circle my head
Ripping and tearing at the ties of depression - In my world,
Releasing the tension is out of the question - So don’t ask
Ripping and tearing at the ties of depression - In my world, my world
Releasing the tension is out of the question - So don’t ask
Don’t ask, don’t - In need of explanation here
Confused, deranged - Like a rat in a cage
Inside my self there’s some one else - Confused, deranged
Like a rat in a cage - I didn’t do this to my fucking self
Confused, deranged - Ripping and tearing at the ties of depression
In my world - Releasing the tension is out of the question
So don’t ask - I’m not the one to hear the voice
Cause I don’t talk to myself - Two minds are fused dispute
That both of them are me - Inside myself
There’s someone else
4. Clash
Redeem myself through your suffering - CLASH
Like colliding souls, subconsciously at war - Reeking stubbornness
Nothing will resolve, if so resolve in pain - Leaving you subdued
Scarred deeper than flesh, a void that never heals - Weeping with torment
Psychotic you’ve become, soon to wage attack - Hardened eyes and spine stiff with fear
Clash on impact - Head, to head we stand
Boiling of blood - Internal
Clash, me and you - Face, to face now
Clench, my hate fists - Grinding, of teeth
Me and you face - To face now clench
My hate fists grinding - Of teeth.
LIES
Link up like a chain, tight around your neck - Choking on yourself
Bullets like mistakes swallow them like pride - Wash 'em down with pain
Hate turns upon yourself, driving you insane - And much further beyond
My pressure persists, I'm driving in the nails - As the coffin lid is closed
No more, grief for me - Shut tight, pain dies
Now rot, in pieces - Rot in your coffin, die
Rot in your coffin
5. Ultra Violent
Drifting in the madness - Mind aligned with time
Ecocentric murder - Perfect crime divine
Callus deaths at nightfall - Nightfall my disguise
Rise to face the day break - Day break expose the crimes.
VICTIMS helpless as I stalk now - Become prey, helpless prey
Bloodshed, stains the walls around me - As I'm dy’n, dy’n on the inside
Of implosion ,exploiting mind and soul - To insanity, in confusion with the motive
As I kill,kill kill kill.
Fallen into the coma - Feel the sense, of the relapse as
I fade away - I am replaced
Sink in my soul, forced to feel, total recall of - LASTNIGHT"S violent RAMPAGE
Ulraviolence uncontained - I face the day, taunted by my memory
BLOODSHED stains the walls around me - As I'm dy’n, dy’n on the inside
Of IMPLOSION, exploiting mind and soul - To insanity in confusion with the motive - As I kill, as I kill, as I kill
6. Higher Moral Ground
On the day of ya death - When “judgment's” passed down
And ya questioned. Where do you stand? - Higher Moral Ground
Before it was my time - In this cycle existence
My choices made for me - Born in, bred in
The way it was taught - Sat down as a child
And told what you now must believe - Sit down, shut up
Based on the money - The theory is funded
Collection passes the pews - Kneel down, pay up
A dollar driven daydream - Preached from holy books
Neglecting to show me some proof - The fear of god a tool
Used to lodge belief - The hands of god, a priest
To preach, beliefs - A servant of the cloth
From highest moral ground - Yet he can’t keep his hands to himself
You expect me to believe this - You expect me to believe this
You expect me to believe in what I can’t see
You expect me to live it your way, living your life
You expect me to say what you say, what you decide
You expect me to see what you see, what you see
No I won’t be what you’ve made me - I will erase all that you’ve told me
I will not be clay in your hands - I’ll punch holes in the ground you stand
You’ve stared blank, I asked questions - No answers, insane assumptions
What you live by faces depletion - And left wide open to corruption
Evil finds its way in
Into the heart of the source - To blacken the souls
To pervert the course - Bleeding, Seeping
Cos take it into account - That we’re all gunna burn
Question, what have you done? - Drunken, fucking
Did you pay the whore for the sex? - Kill a kid driving drunk
Then pay off the judge - Blinding, justice
Cash is the gag of the truth - And bribe prayer of the day
Coz morals can be bought at a price
7. Constant Rumble
Nothing remains when streets are filled with undue violence
Wage war today, empty pride belongs to noone
Bellicose, no peace, each to his own and his weapons.
Never close your eyes formidable slovens in the darkness
Heed to the man, dealer scum praised as icon
Rising demand, common habits suckle feeding
Freedom is gone, like prisoners confined to our own homes
Killing justified, justified by who?
Another mother cries, anticipating every fear
Her son's death mourned, same day of every year
She bares all, beckons you to stop and see
The constant rumble of society
Disgust fills me, sickened inside - Wayward enraged,once again
Contort,destroy,defies the balance
Everyone,who commits a crime
Cries for lenience,because they come from broken homes,
No one has the right,to take a life,or warp a mind,
In the name of heroin,false beliefs,eclipse the lies,
As were stabbed ,in the back by our own people,
Always the dollar,driving the horror,into tomorrow,
Are we surprised ?
We turn OURSELVES Upon OURSELVES Genocide,
Evade arrest, digress.
We turn OURSELVES upon OURSELVES Genocide,
Evade arrest, in a group to kill bleeds digress.
Disgust fills me, sickened inside, - Wayward enraged, total contort,
Disgust fills me, sickened inside, - Wayward enraged,
Contort, destroy defies the balance.
The bodys full of holes - Revenge will ease your pain.
These streets are frozen cold - And now there is no hope
8. Harm
Fear, Descends from the sky - Skies of despair, sparing no lives
NONE - No one will survive, wrath of the bomb - Death packed within, annihilation.
WAR - Warring nations, combine to fight - Through politicians.
NO - No where to hide, time of destruction - Seep through the cracks, radiation
White flash falls from the sky - Innocent prepare to die
Government concerns are cost - No rules as lives are lost.
HELL - Now up on earth, carnage and loss - Life has no worth.
NONE - Guilt will conquer all, time heals repent - Day of defeat, lest we forget.
White flash falls from the sky -Innocent prepare to die -Government concerns are cost
No rules as lives are lost -Disciples of the enemy - Sent by air to kill
A broken nation cries - As Hiroshima - DIES
Fear descends from the skies - Skies of despair, sparring no lives
NONE - Warring nations, combine to fight - Through politicians, no where to hide
FEAR - Descends from skies - DESPAIR, DESPAIR
Guilt, will conquer all, time heals repent - Day of defeat,
LEST WE FORGET.
9. How It Is
Prisoners - Victims caught in a trap - Never to be released
Lies told to my face - Like my existence does not stand - Selfish greed
You expect the world - To stop to feed your needs - Evolution was not your creation
Not born to be your slaves - Promises revealed as fallacies
Lies told to lure, frail minds now turn - To believing the words
Dictatorship is dead and gone - Buried deep
Won’t be slaves, won’t be slaves - Podiums were made to fall from
Millions watching the crash - As an empire comes to an end
Evidence is prepared for burning - But the blood still stains your hands
Backward movements - The truth is not there - The past paints the picture
Of what’s happening here - Self quest for domination - Intimidation is the key
Many faces stepped on - You shouldn’t have stepped on me
Alter the reasons - Of your existence - I’m searching for answers
But nothing makes sense - I foresaw the failure - Not one to predict
On your knees with no power - Awaiting the verdict
Your fate is undecided - It looks grim - My strength is undivided
I’ll stand - Ripping at your heart strings - I want blood
Bout time you took a teaching - Bout time you saw
Greed was the demon here - An abusive waste of power
Inbred sin wore the Nazi grin - Then faced its final hour
Promises revealed as fallacies - Lies told to lure, frail minds now turn
To believing the words - Dictatorship is dead and gone - Buried deep
Won’t be slaves, won’t be slaves - Podiums were made to fall from
This is how it is.
10. Better To Burn
Don’t shed tears, for past years - Move forward, put aside your tears
Try to live a while, try walk a mile - The shoes won't fit cos it’s a different life style
In hindsight,you can seek advice - In ya parent's page,of ya bill of rights
Living their way, growing in the shade - When ya starved of the sun
Ya destined to wither away.
Regrets are one thing we all must live with
Beyond the clenched fist there’s peace of mind
Years of moulding there stands a product
You must say get fucked, it's time to change.
Sheltered shingles shed your skin - Shake it off leave it behind.
Take a look how the other half live - What it's like on the other side
I’m telling you right now get a fucking life - Face the hate and the ridicule
Take It all in your stride
Gone in the blink of an eye why? - Did ya sit ya self on the side line
Gota push the limit to the red line - Gotta let ya old self die.
Inhalation of the evil smoke - Lets you rise to a higher sense
Liquid laughter from the demons drink - Drowns you leaves you breathless
But ya pick ya self up - And do it again the next day
Coz its better to burn out - Than it is to fade away.
GONE in the blink of an eye WHY? - Did ya sit ya self on the side line
PUSH the limit the limit to the red line - GONE in the blink of an eye WHY?
Did ya sit ya self on the side line - PUSH the limit the limit to the red line
Regrets are one thing we all must live with
Beyond the clenched fist there’s peace of mind
Years of moulding there stands a product
You must say get fucked, it's time to change.
Sheltered shingles shed your skin - Shake it off leave it behind.
Take a look how the other half live - What its like on the other side
I’m telling you right now get a fucking life - Face the hate and the ridicule
Take It all in your stride
Gone in the blink of an eye why? - Did ya sit ya self on the side line
Gotta push the limit to the red line - Gota let ya old self die
