All Good Intentions
02:52
|

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

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

Battlegrounds
03:35
|
|||
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

These Bullets
02:36
|
|||
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

Peace By Weapons
00:43
|
|||
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

Oh The Hypocrisy
02:52
|
|||
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

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
