Golden age
01:46
|
|
||
|
What happened to the status quo?
The boys are back for more
Once gone, won’t come back
My life’s at stake, grand theft
In the age of modern man we strive
No need to run, no need to hide
In the age of modern man we survive
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
|

Your war
01:12
|
|
||
|
Forced to see the nature of man
Forced to smell the corpses of the dead
A product if insanity
Tainted minds spilling the blood
The crusade will never end
A few more million fleeing from death
The book drives your hands
To aim the gun on the innocent
Dreaming about your heaven
You dont think twice, just pull the trigger
This world won't be the same
The death toll is higher day by day
Killing spree, lives taken away
When did we let violence prevail?

Bastard’s smile
01:07
|
|
||
|
The first chance you had
You made your best best
You weren’t aware
Of the effect it had
The old man’s triumph
Was the young ones bloody demise
The bastard smiles
And the innocent cries
|
||||
4. |
What goes around
01:16
|
|
||
|
What did you have in your mind
When you made up all those ideas?
You messed the life of the ones that love you
Thinking it won’t ever get back to you
You didn’t let anyone get you down
What goes around comes back around
Four kids, sister and mother
Let down by you one after another
False hope was the only thing
You offered them, you didn’t even blink
|

Unconditional hate
01:45
|
|
||
|
How many times have I heard the truth?
Always different than what I’ve seen
Always serving the lucky few
For me
For you
Unconditional hate is what they have
For us
Unconditional hate
We’re on a rollercoaster in a downward spiral
We’d like to believe we’re against the grain
You can decide who pulls your strings
Our fate is just to fade away
For me
For you
Unconditional hate is what they have
For us
Unconditional hate
All I have left for us
|

Retribution
00:28
|
|
||
|
It started with a loud word
Should’ve let it go
While it was an option
And now we see
How easy it can be
When it’s too late
That’s when the smoke clears
|
||||
7. |
Vacant state
01:07
|
|
||
|
Can’t hear what you said
Your mouth is just full of shit
I reached my hand out to you
You bit it now you have to go
Time has proved
That we can’t get along
I’m done it’s too much for me
And too much for you
Say what you say
It’ll be the last day I let you win
|

Menace
01:39
|
|
||
|
I might be sick in the head
One day it will drive me dead
I can’t do nothing my hands are tied
No way out, no end in sight
The malfunction can’t be unseen
Infection devouring from within
We failed, our fate is now sealed
Turn around and bury your head in the sand
We had time to cure the wound
Turn the tide, undo the wrong
I can’t do nothing my hands are tied
No way out, no end in sight
Turn around there’s nothing left to do
Think again, darkness is coming through
|
||||
9. |
Preserved
01:52
|
|
||
|
You suffer day after day
Struggling through the deadly decay
You put yourself in this numb state of mind
Far from reality slowly we rot
You don’t see the way
You chose to be blind
You don’t see the way
Preserved to die
If you are smarter why are you here?
You know better, but what’s the point
Put all the wisdom where it belongs
Cradle to the grave, no battles won
|
||||
10. |
Fertile mind
01:11
|
|
||
|
I hear it day and night
The new products of the fertile mind
Today I close my eyes
Afraid of the new surprise
New day came here we go
Sinking deeper falling too low
Each day we set new bounds
But it’s no challenge to the fertile mind
|
||||
11. |
Flock
01:15
|
|
||
|
I always obliged
To follow the rules
Anxious and afraid
Of the fights I didn’t even loose
Sick and tired
Of being part of the flock
Sick and tired of the leash
It never felt right
To be a part of the plan
Poorly designed
By mediocrity and fear
I’m nothing like the image in your head
Sorry to ruin the dream you never had
It’s not fair if you choose my life for me
I’m not a disgrace but you’re too blind to see
|

Beyond
01:40
|
|
||
|
It took me a couple of years
Until I found the missing piece
It was right in front of my eyes
A world in demise, full of vice
What do I do
What do I have to do to flush it all out
To kickstart my life
To get rid of all the things that shrouded my eyes
I wouldn’t care let it take what it takes
I need to get out of the void
I don’t need anything special
I don’t need eyes on me
If I can’t relate to it all
Why do I take all the blame
|
||||
13. |
Upon deaf ears
00:41
|
|
||
|
I wasn’t the one to turn the coat
And then you locked yourself up
In your ivory tower
Told me to wake up my mind
And you’ll try to come around
|
||||
14. |
The grip
01:33
|
|
||
|
Noose right above your head
Iron grip squeezing your neck
Are you fighting the war?
Damage is done, you’re on the floor
Your life’s a mess
Loss of control
You make others suffer
And then go back for more
Waking up in your own piss
People on the street look the other way
On the edge of the grave
Back and forth, wasting away
