1. Chaos Dies
Charging in so blind, To manipulate our lives
What our eyes now see, Is not what was meant to be
Feeding off the pain, A game for the insane
Exploiting shallow truth, Is a profitable abuse
Shred your life
Take your mind
Strip your soul
Rob you blind
Blinded by words - blinded by faith
Feeding of controversy - feeding of hate
What is the truth? - What are the lies?
A past left behind - when chaos dies
Trubulent are the times, and and cutting are the lines
That we everyday, our thoughts are swept away
Diggin up the dirt, Inflicting constant hurt
The price to be paid, a life moulded into shape
Shred your life
Take your mind
Strip your soul
Rob you blind
Blinded by words - blinded by faith
Feeding of controversy - feeding of hate
What is the truth? - What are the lies?
A past left behind - when chaos dies
Take a look around - Take the time to see
The course of your own actions as thoses of others
2. Pity
Looking for to-morrow
Before you find to-day
To be abused that way
A sign of the times
Society to blame
You ask yourself the question
Was it self inflicted pain
Blame
Who's to blame
Blame
Who's to blame
The chance of a new life
Or the beginning of the end
Looking to-wards the future
Drowning in self pity
As time presses on
No point in looking back
The past times are gone
Blame
Who's to blame
Blame
Who's to blame
The chance of a new life
Or the beginning of the end
Look to-wards the future
With yourself as your only friend
The chance of a new life
Or the beginning of the end
Look to-wards the future
With yourself as your only friend
Blame
Who's to blame
Blame
Who's to blame
3. Trapped Behind A Shadow
Futureturns the tides
An abstract view on life
Morbid thoughts that dominate
Control your instinct to survive
Left in the dark again
Trapped behind a shadow
When will the confusion end
Left with no to-morrow
So many thoughts we cannot see
Condemn us to a life of sorrow
Leaving one to conjure ways
And try to make it through to-morrow
Left in the dark again
Trapped behind a shadow
When will the confusion end
Left with no to-morrow
Left in the dark again
Trapped behind a shadow
When will the confusion end
Left with no to-morrow
4. Hate Frenzy
Riot Squad to control conflicting opinion
Rebellious retalliation - forced to listen
Fight to be free but hope to some degree
People will take what they've been given
Is this a message? Is this a sign?
Can we not comprehend
Thought so divine?
Is this a message? Is this a sign?
Can we not comprehend
Thought so divine?
Organised - Hate, Frenzy
Opinionized - Hate, Frenzy
Victimised - Hate, Frenzy
Socialised - Hate, Frenzy
Destructive thoughts to solve or destroy
Rational brains contort negative thier ploys
Positive leads to negative - solution or demise?
Fanaticism on both sides impossible to compromise
Is this a message? Is this a sign?
Can we not comprehend
Thought so divine?
Is this a message? Is this a sign?
Can we not comprehend
Thought so divine?
Organised - Hate, Frenzy
Opinionized - Hate, Frenzy
Victimised - Hate, Frenzy
Socialised - Hate, Frenzy
Retain the right to constrain all differing views
Stranglehold organised control unorthodox to lose
The batte continues protest and survive
But nothing is to be achieved except ludicrous loss of lives
Is this a message? Is this a sign?
Can we not comprehend
Thought so divine?
Is this a message? Is this a sign?
Can we not comprehend
Thought so divine?
Organised - Hate, Frenzy
Opinionized - Hate, Frenzy
Victimised - Hate, Frenzy
Socialised - Hate, Frenzy
5. Time To React
Scars of rejection
Visible by all
Writhing indecision
Lacking direction
Time
Your wasting your time
Confined
To stand in line
Wasting away - Lies and fact
Freedom betrayed - Time to react
Power of perspective
Squeezing life from hope
Feeding on intelligence
Take the final fall
Time
Your wasting your time
Confined
To stand in line
Wasting away - Lies and fact
Freedom betrayed - Time to react
Connected to the system
Tied down by the law
Serve and obey
Feed your daily morals
Time
Your wasting your time
Confined
To stand in line
Wasting away - Lies and fact
Freedom betrayed - Time to react
Wasting away - Lies and fact
Freedom betrayed - Time to react
Time To react
Time To react
Time To react
Time To react
6. Taken By Force
Persecute the ones
The innocent are overcome
I won't accept your scorn
You won't accept the norm
I sense your anger
The pain that burns inside
You don't redeem my opinion
Or diminish my pride
Diminish or return
Castigate my word
I can't accept your cause
When you take me
Legislate the law
Bu took for any flaw
Or you'll be taken by force
Rules that are made
Are rules to be obeyed
Taken by force
I sense your anger
The pain that burns inside
You don't redeem my opinion
Or diminish my pride
Objection is not the answer
To this voracious form of cancer
Eating at the freedom of others
To enjoy thier own existence
Taken by force
Taken by force
Legislate the law
But look for any flaw
Or you'll be taken by force
Rules that are made
Are rules to be obeyed
Taken by force
Taken
7. Torn Between Two Worlds
Cross the fie line
Between the barrier of time
Invading conscious soul
Taking conscious soul
Taking over personality
Schizophrenic infestion
Two people to share one mind
Life will never be the same
No former memory to remain
Torn between to worlds
Torn between to worlds
Torn between to worlds
Torn between to worlds
No way to contain
This infested thought
At the mercy of fate
No way to be controlled
Former self resurfaces
Desperate cries, desperate need
To free this alien persona
And let one's mind be cleansed
Torn between to worlds
Torn between to worlds
Torn between to worlds
Torn between to worlds
Cannot hypnotism slove this problem lodged
Too deep one body merging point?
Or just a mental malfuction?
One of life's mysteries?
One of life's crimes?
Attention seeking indiviuals?
Or one person with two minds?
Torn between to worlds
Torn between to worlds
Torn between to worlds
Torn between to worlds
8. One Step Beyond
Nothing is worth than what you now feel
And your sure you can't be healed
Your thoughts they conjure a new way out
To free your life of this self doubt
You are weak yet also strong
But what rational order do your thoughts belong
Can you save yourself this fall
Can conscience over ride yourself to stand tall
One step beyond - this is a place you seek
One step beyond - you cannot see
One step beyond - this fatal lie
One step beyond - would it matter if you die
Separated from the life you desire
Your head is spinning, pain burns like fire
It is almost too much to bare
Losing a grip on what isn't there
As you commence to your final decent
Was giving up the fight always your intent
I pity you because your so small
No courage inside of yourself at all
One step beyond - this is a place you seek
One step beyond - you cannot see
One step beyond - this fatal lie
One step beyond - would it matter if you die
9. Downward Spiral
Ambitious future
Lead to ruin
Inflicted suffering
To ease another
Force of habit - change your will
Fatal fascination - deadly addiction
Downward spiral - into the depths of despair
What is this life without any care?
Suffering hour
A craving desire
Endless path
Corrupting the weak
Force of habit - change your will
Fatal fascination - deadly addiction
Downward spiral - into the depths of despair
What is this life without any care?
Vice like grip
Cannot be freed
Rapid descent
Crush a future to be
Inward to need, forever a slave
Inward to greed, needle to the gave
How does it feel, to have no control
And live in a world that's not your own
Misguided child
What is your future?
Plunged into despair
Life of no care
Force of habit - change your will
Fatal fascination - deadly addiction
Downward spiral - into the depths of despair
What is this life without any care?
