Steeples

Steeples scrape the burning skies
Giving promise of enduring hope
Your words of truth and judgement
Will be the final knot in my rope
Hatred disguised as faith
Ruled by your fear of the unknown
Passing down the verdict
From the seat of your imaginary throne
Trained to suppress
Ashamed of my own being
Conform or burn
Hell awaits those who oppose
I've strayed from the flock
Condemned and forsaken
Scourged and crucified for the sin of my existence
Steeples scrape the burning skies
Giving promise of enduring hope
Your words of truth and judgement
Will be the final knot in my rope
You turned your back on me
Left to burn in your imagined flames
I reject this false messiah
I reject this poison you proclaim

Counterfeit
01:52
|

|
Empty words and tired cliches
Your beliefs are just a catchphrase
Zero conviction, zero substance
Recycled bullshit to garner praise
A meaningless mantra
Discarded when it's usefulness was spent
You adopt the behavior
Of the very monster you condemned
Morally bankrupt
You might as well be dressed in blue
All cops are bastards and that includes you
Never had the heart to see this through
What do you stand for
Do you oppose the violence of the state
Or do you just sit idly
Until you see there's something to be gained
Your words never meant shit
Clear as day, and now I see
A useless collection of trends and buzzwords
In the end, that's all you'll ever be

Blood And Hunger
02:18
|

|
A flag soaked in greed and bloodshed
Consumption is their only goal
Sell a tale of pride and duty
To create your army of loyal pawns
Our corpses line their pockets
Corporate snakes lying through their fangs
Sent to kill and die in darkness
While they laugh all the way to the fucking bank
Step up, do your duty for your nation
Become a puppet of their endless greed
This earth is ours for the taking
Manifest your destiny
Blood and Hunger
Sowing fear and paranoia
Blood and Hunger
Make us believe that we have no choice
Blood and Hunger
But to feed their endless desire
Blood and Hunger
Death marches on
This machine is fueled by blood and bone
There is no escape, offer up your soul
To the gods of war who will swallow us whole

Visions of War

|

The battle rages on
And I won't stop until the war is won
Your demise is drawing near
A fate you can't outrun
Downtrodden, cast aside
I refuse to run and hide
Betrayal has worn my patience thin
Like a thorn inside my mind
Meekness turned to might
You wont' win this fight
Violence, the solution
Seeking retribution
The knife in my back becomes the tool
That will lead you to your end
Victim turned to victor
A strength you cannot comprehend
I was crushed underfoot, now I live by the sword
Day and night, my mind is possessed
