RAPED APE LYRICS

1. Land of Broken Promises
2. Victim of the Game
3. Voice of Reason
4. Remembrance
5. Who's in Control
6. Return to Nothing
1. Land of Broken Promises
Land of Broken Promises
The land within your mind
Searching for your confidence
Buried far too deep to find
Lying just to mask your weakness
Lying to yourself
Falsifying what you are
Projecting something else
(Chorus)
Crucified by your feelings
Torn inside by your fear of what's real
Try to hide endless deceiving
Cast aside all you think and feel
Crucified
Shirk responsibility
Nothing matters now
Try to level with yourself
Though you don't know how
Open up your blinded eyes
Take a look around
The higher that you stack your lies
The harder they come down
Land of broken promises
Twisted truth and shattered dreams
Land of broken promises
Where nothing is as it seems
(Chrous)
2. Victim of the Game
Betray your brother
Stab him in the back
Rabid from the hunger
Like rats in a pack
Crime on TV
Killing in the streets
Wake up and smell the roses
Motherfuckers ain't sweet
No survivors
Left from the war
A battle for territory
Power and greed is what they fight for
Once you had it all
Now you've got none
Learning your fucking lesson
From the barrel of a shotgun
It's a bout with shame
A victim of the game
Thought you had within your soul
A single ounce of self control
What you see when you look back
The past is gone, the future's black
Take a look inside yourself
You'll soon find out
You might be someone else
A victim of the game
A bout with shame
Betrayed by your brother
He stabbed you in the back
Now the tables have been turned
A victim of the counter-attack
Once you had it all
Now you've got none
Learned your fucking lesson
From the barrel of a shotgun
It's a bout with shame
A victim of the game
3. Voice of Reason
Every eye sees a different vision
Every ear hears a different song
In each man's troubled heart an incision
That will prove no one is without wrong
As it was and as it shall always be
The voice of reason forever forced upon me
I can't accept it
I can't acknowledge it's right
I won't give in
Without a fight
Fuck your system, fuck society
What's right to you
Is total bullshit to me
You cannot change me
I don't need your advice
There are no rules
In the game of life
Voice of reason
Forever forced upon me
No reason
Why should you control me
When speaking out for something
In what you believe
Has turned into a crime
I think it's time to leave
Let he who is without sin
Cast the first stone
Judge not the ways of others
Until you've judged your own
4. Remembrance
Wounds on your memory
Ripping scars that will not heal
Resulting from the pain that you feel
Life a struggle of the will
Put your courage to the test
I feel the anguish of the depressed
Disturbed by accidental tragedies
Concerned for victims they have caused
Feelings of pain
Memories remain
All that's left is death
Loss of the ones you love
Feeling emptiness inside
Cleansing the pain with tears you have cried
Grief you bitter enemy
Forever tearing at your will
Replenish the void that you must fill
Remembrance keeps them with us
Forget them and they're just dust
Dust
They won't be dead unless
We choose for them to be
They shall live on in our
Thoughts and memories
5. Who's in Control
Needles pumping in your veins
Feeding off the life you drain
Problems which you cannot face
Lead you to this life of pain and disgrace
(Chorus)
Who's in control
Your body or soul
Who's in control
After all this time has gone
Feeling lived a life of scorn
Problems which you cannot face
Lead you to this life of pain and disgrace
(Repeat chorus)
I can't see behind those razors and nails
No way to be
Truth has evened the scales
No way to tell
If you're living or dead
Don't look at me
You have lost your only friend
Rescue me
From this wasted life
Can't you see
I try to gain control
Violently fight with myself
Finally I have lost control
6. Return to Nothing
