Selling souls in a marketplace, where the dealers turning profits on most basic rights Enemies by our birthplace, Not backing policies just fighting the fight No on learned to listen, No one took the time to trust or understand Sitting firmly on mountains, While our home disappears, but with cash in our hands All good intentions Ineffective but carefree All good intentions This world can´t be saved by me No hope, defenseless From the ones we trust with our homes and lives All good intentions No one survives Crashing out like a tidal wave Burning out like a torch when there's no one else around No one there to destroy it, to extinguish the flames, to eradicate breakdown No one learned to listen, no one took the time to trust or lend a hand Sitting stubborn on islands, while our food disappears, but with lots of land Wish I could tell you about the choices that were made, Wish I could show you all the promises were fake It´s your choice to only believe the things you hear, When what you see reflects your upmost fear And now we die
3.
Woke up to the sound off a scream There is no "I" in fuckin' team Rolled over, tried to disappear It's not for fun, not out of fear I cannot be the one to save All of you bastards from your cave It's difficult to even care Find someone else with whom to share The bigger they are, the harder the fall For you I crawl It's too late for regrets, it's too late for despair I've lost my voice, you lose your choice And when the lights go down on stage Watch my frustrations turn to rage Where would I be without this song? Where would you be, would we belong? And from the corner of my mouth I'll always whisper, never shout My life to you, always obscene Your life to me, more like a dream
4.
Like a fish out of water, like a beast in a cage I´m not supposed to be here, can you see it Can you feel my rage Hammer nails in my coffin, drain my blood claw my eyes A man with nothing to lose can cause damage That should come as no surprise No one is safe, nothing is sacred Nothing is sacred, no one is safe The ender of all dreams No one is safe, nothing is sacred Nothing is sacred, no one is safe Everyone will hear you scream I'm in charge of the cleanup, casting evil right out It's not done with a preacher, this is good versus bad, this is the final bout Not putting faith in no magic, never giving a fuck Getting rid of all healers, this is me versus you, you're done, you're out of luck Murderer, you fuckin´ murderer Your streets are now our battleground No one is safe, no one is sound Your streets, our battleground

Driving 02:56
Broken, live life leaving alone, where there's no one to complain or moan When you do not live up to the hype, a weight you put on yourself, Fighting amongst yourself, waste of space, unlovable, total disgrace Try putting yourself in my shoes, nothing to gain, nothing to lose Carnage, wreckage, fighting for a fuckin' break Making most of those few chances you will take Destroying souls Destroying potential Choking, unable to make any plans, and certain there's never a chance Unwilling to take a stand a choiceless life is the dream Slipping, slowly slipping away, never come back out to play Try putting yourself in my shoes, I'll never break, I'll never bruise Driving to feel alive, hiding to stay alive Driving, driving to feel alive, driving to be by your side Driven to regain some pride Hiding, hiding to stay alive, while hiding you don't have to try Hidden as opposed to die
6.
Excuse my inabilities, to say the right things And overlook anxiety, this one's all on me I never made the right moves, mechanically awkward Much easier just removed forever in the shadows These bullets, can't be dodged for life They fight with guns, I bring the knife So far from right, it can't be wrong The will to live, was never strong Please forgive my stupidity, Forgive my ignorance I sure as hell don't hold the key The key to anything I never made the right moves, mechanically awkward Much easier just removed forever in the shadows Excuse my inabilities And overlook anxiety I never made the right moves Much easier just removed These bullets
7.
Climbing screaming from this godforsaken wreck There has never been a darker future The only hope for sustainable life Lies in the sight of our sharpest shooter Peace by weapons Peace by any means necessary Trimming, cutting, discard, discharge, Knock out, drag out, elimination

Unspoken 03:59
What is it in a word that gets to you What is it in a face that makes you What is it that you fear if your voice is not heard, How do we make it stop what's the magic word How can you corelate rational argument to hate The death of the modern debate I'm sorry, I'm pretty sure that you misread Most things are better unsaid How does it make you feel to be unimportant How to make you believe you were fine as you were Not everyone is meant to have their voice heard How do we make it stop what's the magic word Complaints grievance, just keep it in your pants I´m lost for words this whole thing is absurd Go find your cave, where you live to deprave You scream for change and try to rearrange The lives of those, you so fanatically oppose The dream is dead, it's all inside your head The pain you feel, will never make me kneel I stand, you fall, intelligence for all

You say «I live by the lord. I live by the book.» We say you’re a hypocrite. A fucking crook. You’re nothing but a joke. You’re a sham. You’re a fucking snake. You hide behind your God. Spreading hate. You’re a fucking fake. Out of date beliefs. Women hate. No morality. Holy indoctrination. No salvation. Just brutality. You said «It’s not my fault. I’ve done nothing wrong» We say well, you can burn in hell where you belong You pray away your sins. Blind beliefs. They’re not stopping you. The lust becomes too strong. They’re too young. Twisted point of view. A wolf among the sheep. No relief. Prey upon the weak. Lives destroyed. Pitch-black void. Their future's fucking bleak. You don't care who you victimize As long as they make the sacrifice You’re just another hypocrite There's no human decency When you ask them to drop on their knees Just a fucking hypocrite You’re nothing but a joke. You’re a sham. You’re a fucking snake. You hide behind your God. Spreading hate. You’re a fucking fake. Out of date beliefs. Women hate. No morality. Just another hypocrite You pray away your sins. Blind beliefs. There’s no stopping you. The lust becomes too strong. They’re too young. Twisted point of view. A wolf among the sheep. No relief. Prey upon the weak. Just a fucking hypocrite

Victims 03:43
Striking first, was never on the table, until it suddenly was. Now the lines have been erased, so what Much like the smiles upon their face I'm not concerned The smiles are fading The smiles are fading fast The victim becomes the pain in power, in hate you reign Contempt, raised in a closed-up home Was proven fatal, was proven wrong The abused becomes abusive, the victim becomes the pain, I'm not concerned, I´m not concerned The victim becomes the pain In power, in hate you reign Still searching for a self The victim becomes the pain In power, in hate you reign No sadder story than what you have been through I am so sorry, they things they've done to you The path to glory lies open if you try But no hard feelings, I know I'm not that guy

Revival 02:38
Searching for blood, looking for weakness Conflicting thoughts, the rifts are ceaseless Only a coward, would choose this way of life Only a moron, would choose to stay and fight Do you judge me on survival, or on who I let survive Come try with me tonight Can you teach me about revival, into madness we will dive Come fly with me tonight Who is the righteous, the one who saves or spends Who is the chosen, we all live to pretend No greater feeling, than telling right from wrong No greater feeling, deciding who belongs
12.
Fading 04:15
This road´s impossible, the climbing takes its toll I see things clear again, illusions of control I´m so much closer now, next to sweet relief Do not mistake these words, was never yours to keep What I wouldn't give to have your place A place to call a home What I wouldn't give to be erased A place to be alone The scars will never heal, not in a million years It hurts to live like this, confronting all your fears The line is stretched too long, too long to repair Time to silence the voice, time to silence the prayers You´re fading A shadow of what you once meant to me Everything comes to an end I´m trying, but I´m dying alone Come silence and take me to my perfect home
