1. Lesion
You'll reap what you sow
The sky is a new shade of war
The colour of meat rent raw
This conflict's innocents
In heaps of twitching limbs
Mouths stretched in silent screams
What becomes of their dreams?
Dulled eyes plead to the sky
Witnesses to this genocide
The men slaughtered
Before their families' horrified stares
The women dead and raped
Mouthing their futile prayers
But it's the children's eyes
That burn into my mind
And drag me sweating from nightmare
The land now a scape of sores
Blistered by countless wars
Earth tears, oozing like pus
Congealing in civilisation's dust
As cold...
As governments who deemed to piss
Our consciences lie rigormortised As cold...
As the governments who deemed to piss
Upon the twitching corpse of human rights
Their grim refusal of all foresight
2. Emasculate
Clinging to tragic tradition
Shackled by inherited lies
The subliminal indoctrination
Of who is wrong and who is right
Even in this enlightened age
Equality's still a dirty word
And expectations still dictate
Time to feel
Who can speak and be heard
Even today
These remnants of a primitive culture
The forlorn cadence of recrimination
Learn to relent before intelligence
It's about time we got with the programme
Emasculate
Years now, it's time to learn
The wisdom of humility
Time to feel the primal strength
Of unchained femininity
Even today
These remnants of a primitive culture
The forlorn cadence of recrimination
Learn to relent before intelligence
It's about time we got with the programme
The primal strength
3. The Death You Deserve
The wail of sobbing loved ones
The echoes of the lies you told
The misery
That your ignorance has sown
The sum total of the drugs you sold
That noise like an approaching train
A bullet speeding from its chamber
Before exploding in your brain
All your life's worth?
The death you so deserve
You must stand trial for your crimes
At the hands of those maligned
Look away or kneel and pray
The death you deserve
The death you will be dealt
The death you deserve
You only offer false hope and peace
Deluding the naive
With your madness of reason
Feeding on the weak and vulnerable
Prince of lies, meet your judgment
The age of fire has arrived
A ritual killing sacrifice
Look away or kneel and pray
The death you deserve
The death you will be dealt
The death you deserve
You must stand trial for your crimes
At the hands of those maligned
Look away or kneel and
pray
But you will be dealt
The death you deserve
The age of fire has arrived
A ritual killing sacrifice
4. My Will Be Done
Try as you might you will never see
All the depths I have in me
I've always tried to choose my words
But they always seem to sound absurd
All the futile causes that I backed
All the self belief that I lacked
I do my best to find the way
But it gets harder every single day
Mark my words
I will be heard
Drowning all that you hold dear
In the flood of truth you always feared
As inevitable as death
Judgement comes unstoppable
My will be done
Nothing that you ever say about me
Can sum me up adequately
Like grabbing at dust with your fists
You won't find a label that really fits
Shield your eyes against the rays
As the sun in me starts to blaze
As this blood begins to boil
Into your world like molten oil
Mark my words
I will be heard
Drowning all that you hold dear
In the flood of truth you always feared
As inevitable as death
Judgement comes unstoppable
My will be done
5. I Am Legend
I am one
Standing proud
I am one
I bled through every pore of my being
Automaton, unfeeling
Aurora borealis of agony
The white hot fires of misery
I am one
Standing alone
I am one
Standing proud
I tasted your sweet tears
Drank them down and spat them out
And receiving your weak pity
Threw back my head and laughed aloud
Defences stripped, fibre by fibre
Raw exposed oozing meat
Slowly being cauterised
By the salty lash
Of bitter defeat
I've been basted
On the spits of hell
Like an angel
I rose and fell
I am one
Standing alone
I am one
Standing proud
6. Betrayed By Many
The time is now
The time is right
To forget old scores
Finally unite
This time we'll win
Dreams come alive
U.K.H.C
Is finally on the rise
Unity is bullshit
Another exclusive club
Where egotists can gather
To boast of what they've done
We can shout all we like
And make our best laid plans
But actions are what count
To you I extend my hand
I'm still here
Where the fuck are you?
Traitors come and Traitors go
Given time, their true colours will show
Unity means nothing
Unless it means everything
Not just who's deemed worthy
As flavour of the month
Those who make the most noise
Are usually first to bite the dust
And those who shout the loudest
Are the ones you cannot trust
I'm still here
Where the fuck are you?
Traitors come and Traitors go
Given time, their true colours will show
As the years past
Their unity came and it went
And when it really counted
Nothing's all their words meant
The time is now
The time is right
To forget old scores
Finally unite
This time we'll win
Dreams come alive
U.K.H.C
Is finally on the rise
7. Fear The Parting Darkness
If you never rise how can you fall?
But once again i'm through the floor
I stare into the mirror and all I see
A shadow of what used to be
Worthy of nothing, going nowhere fast
No future, less of a past
Where you see truth I see only lies
Looking out from jaded eyes
Where you see love, I see only hate
Where you see truth, I see only lies
A lack of control lies in us all
The root of all evil lies in us all
Our capacity for violence, lack of control
In darkness my demons surface again
From their pit they call my name
My every failing made the cruellest flesh
Each one of them I must confess
First i'll hurt you then i'll hurt myself
Dragged screaming to my hell
Show you where I choose to dwell alone
Alienation, my home from home
Where you see love, I see only hate
Where you see truth, I see only lies
A lack of control lies in us all
The root of all evil lies in us all
Our capacity for violence, lack of control
How much hate can I contain?
How come it's always me to blame?
What's chaos to you I think sane
Where you feel pleasure I feel pain
A lack of control lies in us all
8. Boiling Point
You have nothing that I want
Nothing that I need
And your bullshit trend lifestyle
Is meaningless to me
When confronted with your ignorance
I swallow back a sneer
Your uneducated opinion
Is not wanted here
You always had to cross
Every line I drew
And now you wonder why I turn
I turn on you
Walk away now
While you can
Above your lies
I will always rise
Ever heard of dignity?
A word that to you is empty
Just like responsibility
You'll never know integrity
You always had to cross
Every line I drew
And now you wonder why I turn
I turn on you
Walk away now
While you can
Above your lies
I will always rise
I will always rise. above your lies
9. Break The Mould
The goodhead, a dream, no more, no less
Security you'll find in it's false caress
On this safety, i turn my back
To find my own way, in the unmapped black
I will not go down on bended knee
For any man or supreme being
Your Bible and icons you cherish so much
Are just books and toys and worthy as such
All men are not cast from one mould
Some can reject what their minds were sold
In birth, in growth, everyday
Taught how to act, how to look and how to pray
how to pray
I need your religion
Like a hole in the hand
I've never searched
For a promised land
10. Shapeshifter
So you fabricated lies
Your paper thin disguise
And seek out the affections
Of those you once scorned
We always knew you lied
Each time your lips tore apart
Venom and bile oozed out
And now
We know - The truth - Will out
You'll always reap what you sow
We have nothing to fear
You'd best look over your shoulder
Your angel of suffering's near
And now
We know - The truth - Will out
Were you even there?
Apparently you weren't
'Cos everything we said
You obviously never heard
Effortlessly changing your spots
Facelessly blending
Searching for some direction
Lacking any master plan
We know the truth will out
As surely as night follows day
We know the truth will out
As you crawl away
11. Jerusalem (bonus track)
