33 Shots 05:11
Oh so deep within there lives a devil haunting all my thoughts Waging his war conquering all he leaves my mind in knots Shivering in heat on the battlefield reminds me of what I'm not Reloading his gun he's about to roar off 33 more shots 33 shots Constant chaos reaking havoc on all I call my own Tired and weary reaping the dealings 33 has sown My memories are dead head constantly fed by the poison that he's brought Reloading his gun he's about the roar off 33 more shots 33 shots Day after day consuming me myself ceases to be In his grasp I can't escape the hold of 33 Hanging right in front of me by a thread dangles the key Weak my arms struggle to reach the freedom that I seek So take me to my grave because there's nothing for me to save From the cliff I dived was the path I chose to take For long ago I died My body only endures time All there is left are the chains he's set on you Break them soon

Tearing down the forest of concrete and steel Bring you back to the world of turmoil instilled By the greed and the fucking politicians that you hate With shit in their mouths and masks on their face Blind, we're folding way to early in this game While their bluffs are much more obvious Than where they point the blame It's sick, yet we stay content in the dark While they feed it to our minds And control our very hearts Eating up the lies Ingesting every brainwashing disguise They're getting away with it We've already quit and it's right beneath our eyes I can't believe What you'll believe if its on your TV screen Leashed up, broke dog Obedient and Silent It's time to get violent It's time to break the silence Corruption falls like acid rain Their thought control and propaganda Tighten the leash around the vein Take the knife out of your back And slit the throat of crooked kings Their reign is going to end Some day they'll fall like flies (going to end) Some day they'll fall like flies So you gotta quibble with the thought of a new world order Totalitarian vomit on your shoulders The quill and ink are black as blood The white collar kings controlling every single drop Surveying every move And veiling all the news Parading every fascist ruse Lifeless they live in infamy WE ALL KNOW THE REAL ENEMY

Lung Of Lies 04:18
Is there anger in your heart? And an itching in your brain? We want! Cough out the lung of lies, gasp the deaths decay. Distracted mass, like siblings affray. You dead! Snort up the whole headline leading you astray Outside of your world, thrives their reality. vicious ! Entrails of the innocent infant wiped clear from the slate In the deep sea they will drown, in the rubble they will burn. Order Ignore the blood rising behind the dam to burst. So long distracted by our petty differences, on whom will they wage the final war? On us! Your suited idol a double headed serpent. Under the forked tongue promise sleep. Wake to defeat unify shatter crowns All regimes coming down Fascist die World elite Suffocating Liberty We want you dead, dispatched, beheaded Fortify, tear it down All regimes coming down Rulers bleed Tyranny Suffocating Liberty no more.

Fallohides 04:03
Sticks and stones of forests deep Our home away from home Runaway rivers, never-ending streams Bonfires and darkened tomes Hear our song, our haunting cries Dead leaves and scattered ash Forever under blackened skies Our home, our first and last Don't stand still, your gaze will turn a stone Nomadic panoramic view will show you where to go Don't stand still, your gaze will turn a stone Restless feet, incredulously create a brand new home Strip us of our feeble lives Domesticated slaves Dormant thoughts, unfathomed dreams All caged eternally Hear our song, our haunting cries Dead leaves and scattered ash Bending 'til we break the night Our home we'll find at last I embody all the flies Inherit all the sky Relinquish all the ties to the roots of my Filthy tattered feet My weakened bloody knees My deathly shadowed dreams that stay hidden in the trees Condemn my sullen life Dismember all the strife Escape this troubled mind that stays locked inside Scrambling for the keys Clutching any pleas Pick up these two feet and run for the trees Don't stand still, tear the roots out from your feet and let the forest set you free Don't stand still, we are all just bone and dust, WANDER ON

Stutter 04:35
With every single word that spews through your crooked teeth Your honesty grows dissonant and sheathed Spitting out facades just to keep the peace in tact Your feeble tactics seem like futile acts Upturn the sense of bond is a queasy stomach's friend Contorting and rejecting all the futile things you mend Forlorn masquerades set you ablaze Killing the trust and raising every fence I won't find the words to say Will die another day Hope is all but hopeless so just drink yourself to death A wolf in the midst of madness suited up like sheep we've met This hurricane is gonna shake the walls that we clutch so dear You stutter but lie so clear Utopia is far but the truth is out of reach You'll suffer stretching farther than you ever thought you'd see Dormant storms stir warning winds of flee Til' the eye has come to swallow any plea Cut out the tongues of the false Or believe all the lies they conceive Board up the doors to the safest corridors in which they seek To poison you and me Cut out the tongues of the false Or believe all the lies they conceive Board up the corridors They seek to poison me

Stuck inside this prison cell Skull on every side Pathways racing through this hell Engulfed with the worst of lies Believe me now you can't suppress A leech upon your mind The worst of thoughts are killing me Either way I'll say I'm fine Coursing the badlands with no destination Are we sure we're ready to conjure the question Neurotic decay seems not far away And it comes without warning or sign I'm losing all focus, I'm losing all function I can't comprehend this enormous consumption Of why I have to get out of bed When it feels like a bullet in my head is the treatment Crawl Incapacitation, the sentence is 25 to life Fall In this competition in gaining control of your mind I can only hope that it will die out in time All I see is numb, the complexion is gone All I breathe is poison, full of its noise Take me back in time, to the wonder days Where color seemed so bright Now it's only black and white Someone killed the lights And the lines all blur I can only hope that it will die out in time I can only hope that it will die out before I lose my mind

The Order 04:15
The will be no savior today, there is no one to come our aid, there was never a plan to save, there were few who foresaw the raids. For us there there was no side to choose, for us there is only the set right to lose. Silenced and beaten do dare to ask why the questions that certainly will end your life. Why!?!? (Overlapping verse) injustice reigns on high, starving for freedom. Forsaken, force fed their lies, starving for freedom. Sew your mouth shut and gouge out your eyes, forsake your own heart and mind. Their order has come, there's no hope for the age. Rewritten your freedom is caged Are we not our own? Are we nothing but slaves? Has the answer we seek now been slain? Our course has been set, led blind to today. Rewritten your freedom is caged. Renegade, worthy of death. Expose their schemes, muffle their cries. Open your eyes, follow me blind, follow me. Unearth the answer! Stir of the wicked. Bury the righteous Undermine the high one, forge the key of our kin, woke now the dead masses rise, OUR ROUGE WAVE COMETH! Undermine the high one, Forge the key of our kin, Unshackled are our tired minds, OUR ROUGE WAVE COMETH!!!

FDL 03:48
I've been drinking all day, hope that I can get drunker tonight, drunker tonight drunker tonight, when I hear that basement callin, load our backpacks ride out on our bikes, for us there is no other place that we'd rather go, no other place that we'd rather go. When I hear that music callin, pedal onward faster to the show If you've got nothing to drink just show up we'll catch u a buzz, don't fear sobriety because, It's ten more drinks before any us fall, there's beer in the carpet and blood on the walls, punks in the basement and sweat in the pit, this fucked drunk life we don't ever wanna quit. It's five more lines before any us sleep, we're pulling off the bottle to that dirty d-beat, we all love each other but we fuckin hate you, its killing us slowly but it's what we choose. It's been a greasy long haul and I'm gonna get roasted tonight Roasted tonight, roasted tonight When I smell that van bed calling Party til you puke and lose your sight It all goes down just a jaunt or a crawl from the show Crawl from the show, crawl from the show Until the cops come knockin Throw 'er into gear and hit the road
