A flash of light in the dead of night, no one but me seems to mind
Another shot, another dead man, forgotten and left behind
Fucking corruption feeds the pigs and the glutton, eight out of ten take the bribe
How could you sleep while this shit goes on? No one but me seems to mind
You don’t dare look straight at the source, you might not like what lies
You sleep while the world spins out of control, I’ve got my eyes open wide
Morally bankrupt men indulge in the spoils, that only they can afford
To the black market go all the human traffickers, where they collect their reward
A child cries, a future of suffering, their human rights are ignored
Those who have escaped, where will they go? No one will open the door
You don’t dare look straight at the source, you might not like what lies
You sleep while the world spins out of control, I’ve got my eyes open wide
I can’t take it any longer, something has got to change
Wake up from your oblivion this world could be more than just another extinction event if you open your eyes
Paramilitary perversions, eradicate and divide
Borders enforced to tear apart families, those who flee violence are only sent back to die
And yet you turn a blind eye while the whole fucking world is burning
We’re at the point of no return, it’s now or never
You don’t dare look straight at the source, you might not like what lies
You sleep while the world spins out of control, I’ve got my eyes open wide
I can’t take it any longer, something has got to change
Wake up from your oblivion this world won’t be more than just another extinction event if you don’t open your eyes
Open your eyes

Forsaken Lambs
05:32
|

|
Devotion misled abused and exploited by those who wrote the book
Cyclical game, suffer just like the lamb
Extortion at the threat of eternal damnation, the masses piss money away
You’ll do the same as we show you the way
We are your god
You’re the first in line, now give and you’ll be divine
The sick will give us power and in return we make them martyrs
In the end of times we’ll live and they will die
The riches they spent will help them repent prepared for the promises we made
We are your god and your light fades away, forsaken as we thrive
Communion, an unfit substitute for wellness
A means to menticide, our wallets grow wide, your stomachs atrophy
We are your god
Indoctrinate the sheep, their harvest is what we reap
Subservience is rewarded with the privilege of expiation
For their sins be tried, confessing genocide
All will be forgiven, an evil man may get away with it
We are your god and your light fades away, forsaken as we thrive
We welcome new members of the congregation
We welcome new blood, new green
New greed
We are your god and you’ll bow to us
You’re the first in line, now give and you’ll be divine
The sick will give us power and in return we make them martyrs
In the end of times, we’ll live and they will die
The riches they spent will help them repent prepared for the promises we made
We are your god, and your light fades away, forsaken as we thrive
Communion, an unfit substitute for wellness
We welcome new blood, new green
We are your god and you’ll bow to us

Drag You Down
03:39
|

|
Overdose, in a gas station bathroom, discovered by a mother and her child
Resuscitate, lucky to be alive, a second longer and brain damage more than mild
The very next day, you’re running away with dirty money stolen for your next hit
When tears run down your eyes deep down you realize that you’re not in control
And you’re drowning in them while they drag you down
Poisoned, you just drank way too much, your so called friends left you in bed to sleep it off
Face up, choking on your own sick, discovered rushed by emts and stomach pumped
The very next day, discharged and friends celebrate with shots on them at happy hour but you protest
Then tears run down your eyes as you eat up your lies cos you’re not in control
And you’re drowning in them while they drag you down
Your life is void, your life destroyed, your life devoid, your life’s a void
Dragging you down

Sunken Beliefs
06:22

Befallen by the shepherd, they try to find guidance
In the noose, they offer sanctum, protection in Christ
Live by the light, never hide behind, never lie
Liars
Masters of deception, in a profound place
Preaching with no practice, they lie, they hide their true face
They’ve fallen for the facade, they lie to contain us
In the truth of their invention, unquestioning trust
They try to hide what’s inside
Sanctum the panopticon, the pews serve the purpose
They’ll never know what they do not see
They’ve fallen for the facade, they lie to derail us
From the truth of their intentions, perversions of Christ
They try to hide what’s inside
There were never any guards, and yet the prisoners obey
This flooded prison their tomb, kept there by blind faith
Lies
And now the shroud has been pulled back, so those enjailed may finally see
That there were never any guards, and yet the suffering has yet to cease
Abuse, sexual, systemic, gone unabated for years
Injustice is carried out, there’ll be no punishment
Will it all have been for nothing?

Mistaken for Terrorists
06:09

Condemned for not looking like you
It makes no difference where they’re from or in what they believe
The blame falls directly on them
For the actions of madmen, they’ve been falsely labeled
By bigotry, victimized for a different creed
The color of their skin finds them guilty of sin
While innocent people die, provocateurs know the reason why
And the cattle can’t but help to find there’s something to believe in
Mistake them for terrorists
And while the mass shootings don’t stop, you demonize foreigners
Ignoring the sick fucks committing more hate crimes
They pay on this day, they can’t get away from the violence
Committed by your kind, committed
By iniquity, victims of brutality
The color of their skin binds their will to begin retribution
While innocent people die, provocateurs know the reason why
And the cattle can’t but help to find there’s something to believe in
Mistake them for terrorists
Nothing will change, only more hate
False acts of progress followed by complacency
Disenfranchised, nobody cared
When it happened to you then suddenly it matters
Another time, another psycho
This time he gets stopped by a man who was packing
Police show up and on sight open fire
They killed the wrong guy, the shooter still lives, one more injustice
Mistaken for terrorists
And no the mass shootings won’t stop, stop blaming the wrong ones
Ignoring the sick fucks who shouldn’t have had guns
Enough is enough, but still you wont act
You rather a scapegoat than to face the facts
And the fact of the matter is that you are guilty
Complicit, enabling this bloodshed
The real killers are getting away with it
While you look the wrong way
There is no solace, more injustice
Mistake them for terrorists

Overtoun

I’m drawn to death
Freed from a life of suffering, my final breath will bring peace
Freedom from strife above mortal sting, my final path, sweet release
We’re severed and decay from society
And trapped in an endless race just to make ends meet
No way out I want to die, there is no happiness there is no reason why
Isolated from our loved ones we simply are trying to survive
At the cost of our minds
I’ve died many times, my life’s been deprived
We deserve better, may life’s sheath slip
Right off this mortal plane
Driven in so deep, only one way
My finale, my final death
Romantic binds that break and leave us bereft
Annulled, our hearts will ache and leave nothing left
There’s no point I want to die, there is no happiness there is no reason why
Maybe after this is over I’ll finally at long last arrive
At what I’ve been denied
I’ve died many times, my life’s been deprived
We deserve better, may life’s sheath slip
Right off this mortal plane
Driven in so deep, only one way
My finale, my final death
Overtoun, a bridge to the otherworld

Aftermath
04:09
|

|
Wartime has ended in blight, both sides deprived of their right to peaceful life
Aftermath of bloodbath is famine and ruin
Children, they starve to the bone, breadlines with nothing at home
Displaced, whole villages razed, refugees far from where they were raised
Pull the trigger that kills, it’ll be worth it, the suffering it yields
Save the world from ourselves, kill us all then at long last we’ll be one
Wartime has ended their sight, both eyes destroyed in their fight to see this life
Aftermath of bloodbath is trauma and disfigurement
Driven by PTSD, take aim, end the suffering
Widows, they all dress in black, grieving with no turning back
Pull the trigger that kills, it’ll be worth it, the suffering it yields
Save the world from ourselves, kill us all then at long last we’ll be one
We suffer under peace
And so we wait for another war
