Subjugate, Manipulate, Control
Legislate, Proliferate, Overthrow
Our world is burning
Our lives are burning
Our hope is burning
Our hate is burning us down
You can’t take what is ours
(What is ours)
You can’t seal our fate
You can’t take what is ours
We’ll see you burned at the stake

War At Home
03:27

i tried to kill them dead
The voices in my head
But they just keep crawling back
My thoughts are a flood
Folded flags soaked in blood
A coward’s senseless attack
The fight inside
Has broken me
Those promised to help
Abandoned me
The front lines took their toll
But the war at home has claimed my soul
In the silent dark of night
Violent fates come back to haunt
Ever persistent in their cause
Try as i might i just can’t
seem to keep them in the ground
I just can’t escape their claws
I wish i’d never been where i’ve been
I wish i’d never seen what i’ve seen
I wish i’d never raised my hand
I dont want to remember
I just want to forget
I sacrificed my mind
When i signed on the dotted line

Fleeced

I have come to end your problems
Make the world my claim to fame
Push morality to the people
Till we’re one and the same
I’m your brother your son or your father
A man of the people with a common goal
My sheep’s clothing is slowly slipping
And now a wolf is at your door
I will sell you your dreams
I will sell you eternity
A world of promises built on lies
A rival faction to demonize
Don’t mind the skeletons in my closet
Unlike yours they’re justified
I’m selling absolution for a fee
Then you’ll be perfect just like me
Dont look behind the curtain
My words are faulty and betrayal is certain
You put me in a place of power
Now we hurtle toward the final hour
I’m not the saviour i had promised
I sold you out for my own interests
What a tangled web we weave
Prey on those who chose to believe
Steal from those who desire peace
Reap from the masses that we’ve fleeced

Distress Signal
02:28
|
|

Controlled by tyrants and born into debt
That our families struggle to pay
Set up for failure by those who “protect”
By giving our rights away
We’ve gone so far off of our chart
that we’ll never find our way
Our only hope is the fading north star
And the legacy of who we are
And our ship is sinking fast
SOS
Mayday
Relief won’t find us in time
We cannot hold the line
Damned by our own good intentions
We’ve sown the seeds of our demise
Crew to starboard side
Send to signal our distress
They say the captain goes down with the ship
He’ll be the first one off and i’ll see to it
Cut off the head to kill the snake
This is treason, this is mutiny

Climate Of Fear

They keep a gun to your back
Tell you you’re under attack
Keep a boot to yor neck
Justified lies to protect
Terror, sickness and death
Put their needs above the rest
It’s all for the greater good
Just close your eyes
Forced to live on your knees
The media narrative bleeds
And you can’t fight back
When you can’t stand
Lies justify the hate in their heart
A story to set them apart
All hail the media
Raise the alarm and cry out
Don’t you dare cast any doubt
Your government is god
And you’re its pawns
If we can keep you afraid
Our whims you will obey
Divide the people to keep
Them subdued
And if you don’t like their truth
They’ll just write another one
The climate of fear is taking over
The watchful gaze of big brother
Control the media
Control the people
Trade your rights for protection from evil

Lives are wasted
Minds are lost
Youth is squandered
Blind to the cost
You say it’s for or against
There is no alternative
Keep our eyes on each other
Blind to all your tricks
Division will be our demise
There will be no compromise
Differences must be put aside
We must unite to survive
We must band together
We must take a stand
Join or die
Sex religion color of skin
Illusions to divide from within
You’re afraid of a united front
So scared of what we’ll become
The people are restless
They’ve had enough
They’re sick of the lies
And all out of trust
Your ivory towers
Now blackened with ash
From discontent torches
That have amassed
We’ll watch you burn
We must band together
We must take a stand
We’ve had enough of the lies
We’ll sever all of our ties
Declare a new independence
Bred from the flames of indifference
Join or die
And in the ashes of your ruin
A new flag will rise
One of a unified people
Desperate to survive
And in our final hour
We will honour our creed
To die on our feet
And not live on our knees
Join or die
