Twelve Feet Under
04:29
|

I woke up, in my own grave, suddenly entombed
I felt so helpless knowing there was nothing I could do
My hands were ripped apart to bits and bloody shreds
Just clawing at the wooden box that meant my certain death
I tasted the wicked brew of dirt and my own tears
This was the manifestation of my darkest fears
I laid my head back, accepting where I was
I knew if I was gonna live I’d need help from above
I will make you one with the earth that gave you life
Struggle as you will to resist, but vengeance is mine tonight
With this shovel in my hand I pile dirt, rust, rock and steel
Twelve feet over you ensures it’s me to whom you kneel
I attempted to adjust my eyes and break this frozen glare
I pleaded to my maker as I struggled to catch air
Why me? I’m so young, my life has just begun
So many things to do in this world that I’ve never done
Frantic, I cracked the wood and pushed away the sand
I will not let myself be snuffed out by stranger’s hand
Relentless, climbing towards a chance to live my life
At last my fight is almost over crawling towards the light

Grab the Reins
04:40

Ladies and gentleman may I have your attention, we have some breaking news
Another gentleman under crooked inspection will surely get the noose
How can’t you see that what you see is what we want it to be
How can we make it seem like what you see is what you believe
Wrap the world around your finger pointing at you
Wrap you up in our cables spit you out when we’re through
Grab the reigns and lead the people forward with pride
Now they know the only answer is for him to lie
Ladies and Gentlemen thank you for your support, the monster’s going to jail
Another victory in the name of the system proves that we can’t fail
We aim our cameras like the villains aim their guns
We shoot to kill and when the smoke clears, we have won

Common Enemy
05:44
|
|||
Unforeseen danger, your impending doom
Self inflicted torture, coming after you
Your safeguard is your scapegoat, saving you from you
Descendant of your reason, your ignorance it grew
Regime of pure deception, façade your wretched fume
The loyal start to run, they have seen the truth
But still you push on forward, reckless and despised
Enough is enough, there’s been too many lies
The march of rage, one mighty beast
Our targets locked, ready to fire
The shot that’s heard around the world
Our flags of war, waving high
Your own leaders, plotting against you
Your world is disowning you
Try to run, try to flee
You’ve dug your hole too deep
You’re the common enemy
The fires start to burn, we all know who to blame
Our sights are set on you, now feel the vengeful flame
Ruin and destruction, follow paths of rage
Our torments come to torment, you’ll never get away
Annihilation overdue, settling the score
Other than in memory, haunt us nevermore
Rebel against the tyrants, the heartless and the cruel
In the end they’ll never win, they never truly rule

Compulsion
05:25
|
|||
I fade away. Every day I die a little bit inside, no matter how I try
And now I feel the pain. The constant violent aching brutal strain
My brain begins to fry
I’ll never be free of this madness, It and I are now one
Compulsions too strong to deny, I’ve tried but it has won
Some days I try to bear, my scattered past just shatters my own mind
I crave to sense nothing
I numb my thoughts, never caring of the consequence, escaping consciousness
Those who I love, struggling to understand my…
No one bothers anymore
My final pay, as I go too far to settle lighted soul, I fight for life

Shockwave
07:17
|
|||
As I stand watching destruction taking root
Throwing stones at the ones who led me here
Blinded by their path to genocide
Expected by many but ignored by most of
Bodies imposed in my own vision
No time for building your shelters
No time for heeding my warnings
Striking down millions who stumble in its path
Generations wiped out with one test
Nations sterilized of their protest
Nothing's left but still remains the fear
The day our lives were crushed by atmosphere
Walking through the streets of the city of the dead
Littered by the ash that breathes blood
Looking for a pathway to freedom
Cities crumble under massive force of
Shockwaves sent through hills and valleys
Heat blasts that burn the buildings
Radiation poisons air
Oblivious acting toward the future plan they made

Imprisoned
04:55
|

Enter the darkness, a world beyond control
Falling shadows emerge out in the cold
Creeping in me, clawing at my soul
Take one more step and plunge into the night
Burning thoughts are racing through my mind
Immersed in darkness, the light I cannot find
Irrational thought, unknown sights, useless sense, body fights
Strain your eyes, strain your ears, strain your mind, stretch the fear
Suffocation, drowning in my fear
Instinct blinding, thoughts become unclear
Lost in blackness, will I reappear?
The grip tightens, slowly breaking me
All alone, unheard hopeless screams
Nightmares twisted into reality
Sinking under, falling into, darkness that envelops me
Sinking under, falling into, slowly hope is fading out

See Through
04:56
|

Respectable long ago, a changed man an inverted soul
A mind lost to a sick idea, superiority, vision unclear
You don’t know what you’ve become, never realizing it’s all your fault
You’ll never see, you’ll never change, a twisted mind, twisted and deranged
I see through you and your clever scheme
Loved only by those who are equally obscene
A mockery to the genuine and true
I see through you
Others can’t see the reasons why you are the way you are, and will be until you die
A lost friend, a lost soul, a man once great, out of control
It’s all changed, I wish you’d come back. I asked you once and you just laughed
Now you’re nothing but a hypocrite. You were once like the ones on whom you now spit

Until Next Time
07:12

Can you feel the storm arising? The twisting, turning cell, it’s thriving
Can you feel the thunder shaking? Our souls are surely his for the taking
The shadow takes us, transporting on its jet-black wings
The wind enslaves us, marionettes held high on strings
Making waves from drops of rain, only saving the insane
Laying bricks on the paths to fame, taking angel’s faith in vain
Making waves from drops of rain, believing those who have no shame
Give yourself to judgment, leader’s bane. Deception always ends the same
People can’t you see the signals? Punishment for all our evils
People can’t you see the ending? Bringers of death that they are sending
The liquid onslaught, eradicating walls of steel
The force that stalks us, at its mercy we all kneel
Yes my people safety beckons, but see, our evil’s come for seconds
Listen closely, I can save you from the deadly dawn that comes anew
The sun emerges, enlightening our hearts and minds
Until next time, the clock promises to unwind
