Corruption of Power
05:06
|
|||
[Verse 1]
The System, it’s power corrupts all minds
One Leader leads the nation blind
Corrupted, destructive, full of greed
Watch the whole world bleed
We suffer, we're dying in front of you
There's nothing, nothing you will do
Tell us what this world has come to
Lies we've all been through
[Chorus]
The powers in me will one day see
Who you are and what you'll be
We will rise and you will fall
We will stand above them all
[Verse 2]
We're tired of running away from you
We're sick of all the shit you put us through
We're fired up for war, how about you
We'll rise against you
Recruiting, together we'll run you through
Destructive, regime will die with you
Severed, the cycle shall not renew
Now life starts anew
[Chorus]
The powers in me will one day see
Who you are and what you'll be
We will rise and you will fall
We will stand above them all

Insanity
06:06
|
|||
[Verse 1]
There's no one here but you and me
Left to a horrid insanity
This life, it be so cruel
God am I a fool
My cries are all but lies
I cant commit suicide
Everyday, I feel the pain
And it's driving me insane
[Pre-Chorus]
Powers of the universe defile me, looking up wasting all I can see
There's nothing left in this world for me, it's driving me to insanity
I want my life to slip from me, I want death to set me free
Powers of the universe defile me, looking up
wasting all I can see
[Chorus]
Concealed by walls
I've lost it all
Succumbed to the madness of minds duval
I’ve lost my mind
I can’t unwind
I've been left to rot in my own hell
[Verse 2]
On my knees I beg and plead
For a chance to be freed
I suffer in agony
Please god why won't you kill me
Do you want this life for me
This life of insanity
Constant pain fills my brain
And it's driving me insane
[Pre-Chorus]
Powers of the universe defile me, looking up wasting all I can see
There's nothing left in this world for me, it's driving me to insanity
I want my life to slip from me, I want death to set me free
Powers of the universe defile me, looking up
wasting all I can see
[Chorus]
Concealed by walls
I've lost it all
Succumbed to the madness of minds duval
I’ve lost my mind
I can’t unwind
I've been left to rot in my own hell
[Verse 3]
Loss of hopes and dreams once sought
Abandoned here to rot
My words cannot be heard
Not one goddamn word
This life is not for me
This life of insanity
Every day I wait for death
Take my last and final breath
[Pre-Chorus]
Powers of the universe defile me, looking up wasting all I can see
There's nothing left in this world for me, it's driving me to insanity
I want my life to slip from me, I want death to set me free
Powers of the universe defile me, looking up
wasting all I can see
[Chorus]
Concealed by walls
I've lost it all
Succumbed to the madness of minds duval
I’ve lost my mind
I can’t unwind
I've been left to rot in my own hell

Mark of Shame
04:22
|
|||
[Verse 1]
They play again in my head
All the lies that you said
Bullshit reaks from your goddamn lips
I shall have your head
You call yourself a brother
Brothers have your back
Instead you went with another
And stabbed us in the back
[Chorus]
The path you chose, the highs and lows
Betrayal marks your head
Lash or lynch, whatever which
Better you be dead
[Verse 2]
Forbidden to thy name
Bare the mark of shame
Casted out like a dog on the streets
You're only to blame
We took you in as a brother
Brothers till the end
Ride or die, there's no other
Till we meet again
[Chorus]
The path you chose, the highs and lows
Betrayal marks your head
Lash or lynch, whatever which
Better you be dead
[Verse 3]
Wander all night long
Wanting to belong
Digging deep drive into your soul
Life's meaning is gone
Once among your brothers
Shared a single name
Waste away like the others
Bare the mark of shame
[Chorus]
The path you chose, the highs and lows
Betrayal marks your head
Lash or lynch, whatever which
Better you be dead

Say What You Mean
06:02
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Power through, must grit through the pain
how much can I take make it go away
Walk by, turn a blind eye(side-eye), they have nothing to say
Void the sounds, divert from the crowds
their voices grow loud, make it go away
Give in, patience grows thin(listen) soon I will make them pay
[Pre-chorus]
Speak out, shout out
Let rage spill out
Take hatred out
Let's hear you shout
I’m done, no more, I can’t take it
Darkness, anger, bottomless pit
All sense of life they've stripped away
Unleash mayhem, today's the day
[Chorus]
Say what you mean
Mean what you say
Say what you mean
Mean what you say
[Verse 2]
Powerful, adrenaline rage, nobody is safe try to run away
Hide-n-seek, the tables have turned(my turn)
Picking off all my prey
Realize, they've brought their demise
The look in their eyes, lack of empathy
Too late, it can't be undone(it's done), fuck your apology
[Pre-chorus]
Speak out, shout out
Let rage spill out
Take hatred out
Let's hear you shout
Pushed to the edge all I see red
Can't stop, won't stop, until they're dead
Victim of life, unfair to me
Victor born of society
[Chorus]
Say what you mean
Mean what you say
Say what you mean
Mean what you say
[Chorus]
Say what you mean
Mean what you say
Say what you mean
Mean what you say

The Metal Way
03:59
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Can you feel the power, running through your veins
Electric fire, burning in your brain
Losing control, feeling control, I wanna run away
Nowhere to go, somewhere to go, live the metal way
[Chorus]
With the music in my feet
I’m thrashing through the street
Causing chaos where I go
It's the metal life I know
[Verse 2]
I wanna play it faster, heavy metal licks
Distorted power, packs a heavy kick
Playing it fast, full blast, crank up the noise
Ringing ears, can hardly hear, but it brings me joy
[Chorus]
With the music in my feet
I’m thrashing through the street
Causing chaos where I go
It's the metal life I know
[Verse 3]
Can you hear the metal, quick rush to the head
Louder and faster, I'll thrash till I'm dead
Intensify, electrify, go all the way
Live the life, the only life, live the metal way
[Chorus]
With the music in my feet
I’m thrashing through the street
Causing chaos where I go
It's the metal life I know

Taking Back Control
05:59
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Everybody's running, they don't know where to go
Everything is chaos, it’s out of control
Everybody's hiding, they don't know what to do
Everybody take arms and gather the troops
They will not conquer our souls
It's time to take back control
[Verse 2]
Gather all the children, take them all away
This battle will get ugly, they should not live this day
We’ve been oppressed for years now enough is enough
Although outnumbered, we'll show them who's tough
[Pre-chorus]
They will not conquer our souls
It's time to take back control
[Chorus]
We fight, to win, to live
This fight, we won't forgive
We'll fight, the higher powers
And fight, for what is ours
[Verse 3]
Everybody's fighting, the homeland we'll defend
Nothing can stop us, we'll fight till the end
Everybody's trying, trying to reach a goal
restore order and take back control
[Pre-chorus]
They will not conquer our souls
It's time to take back control
[Chorus]
We fight, to win, to live
This fight, we won't forgive
We'll fight, the higher powers
And fight, for what is ours
[Pre-verse]
This is our land
This is our home
This is our right
And if anybody tries to take this from us
No, we won’t go without a fight
[Verse 4]
All of them are running, they don't know where to go
Anywhere but here, this is our home
All of them are dying, dying where they stand
Death to all, who try to take our land
[Pre-chorus]
We have conquered their souls
And we’ve taken back our control
[Chorus]
We fight, to win, to live
This fight, we won't forgive
We'll fight, the higher powers
And fight, for what is ours

War Never Changes
04:31
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Lead and metal, crash to the ground
Pain and sorrow, destruction all around
Napalm death rains from the sky,
fire in its wake, all left to die
Seas of blood fill the green pasture
All in the name for the one true master
Cracks and shout echo through the night,
children scream, fighting for their lives
[Chorus]
It's all the same, we've got nothing to gain
War never changes
For a chance to reign, it brings nothing but pain
War never changes
[Verse 2]
Bound by blood, faith in friendship,
Let them die in the name of kinship
Boots planted on the ground
Focused to kill soldiers all around
Now the bullets begin to die down,
blood of man, contaminates the ground
Cracks and shouts, echo through the mind
Tranquility, stripped from mankind
[Chorus]
It's all the same, we've got nothing to gain
War never changes
For a chance to reign, it brings nothing but pain
War never changes
[Chorus]
It's all the same, we've got nothing to gain
War never changes
For a chance to reign, it brings nothing but pain
War never changes

[Verse 1]
Overwhelming lights come piercing, stunned and confused
Commotion raging, spreading, breaking news
Crowds digging in to see, a foul corpse
Hold the line, get back and follow, lock all the doors
[Pre-chorus]
No one leave
Answer me
Truth shall be
What sets you free
[Chorus]
Geared to play
Aim to slay
Make your move
Escape the game
[Verse 2]
Everlasting spotlight lingers, refuse to speak
Think fast and fill the gaps, the mind grows weak
Allegations have no basis, alibis fall short
Camouflaged among the people, fools fill the court
[Pre-chorus]
Wait to strike
Let them fight
Who is next
Be laid to rest
[Chorus]
Geared to play
Aim to slay
Make your move
Escape the
[Verse 3]
A sense of fear and anger, course through the veins
Act in the face of terror, survive the game
Alliances are tested, no one to trust
Eliminating one by one, do what we must
[Pre-chorus]
Fight or flight
Should unite
Thoughts arrive
Come out alive
[Chorus]
Geared to play
Aim to slay
Make your move
Escape the game

Killshot
06:35
|

[Verse 1]
Crossing the limits beyond intentions
Taking an innocent life
Sun in my eyes with a flash of hot light
Burning engraved in my mind
Taking on justice into my own hands
Gotta come up with a plan
Forcing my vengeance will be my demand
Exiled by death from this land
[Chorus]
Pay for your crimes, nowhere to hide
Killshot, killshot
A pull of the trigger
End of your life
[Verse 2]
Mind lost in chaos, I've got to decide
Settle and swallow my pride
Sins aren't forgotten, and blood must have blood
Punishment must fit the crime
Chamber the bullet, full conviction
Murder should settle my pride
Taking the life of the one who took mine
Justice will be brought to light
[Chorus]
Pay for your crimes, nowhere to hide
Killshot, killshot
A pull of the trigger
End of your life
[Breakdown]
Don't do it, must do it, live or die, live or die
Don't do it, must do it, live or die, live or die
Don't do it, must do it, live or die, live or die
Don't do it, must do it, live or die, Now you die
[Verse 3]
Break through the door knock your face to the floor
Stomping your skull to the core
Fists in full grip, watch the blood from you drip
Enjoying the pain in your eyes
Holding cold steel with the feeling to kill
Murder will be my delight
Trembling hand struggles to the sights
Fighting to find what is right
[Chorus]
Pay for your crimes, nowhere to hide
Killshot, killshot
A pull of the trigger
End of your life

Radioactive Decay

[Verse 1]
A spark of light fills the sky and the people don't know why
Now the dying begins, destroying the land and eating their skin
Ash and dust, a horrid sight, result to win the fight
The end is near, so run in fear
These atoms, they burn our tears
[Verse 2]
Innocent lives drop like flies as they wallow in their cries
Silence has come, all but none, for the deadly deed is done
Burnt up homes, melted streets
Sad to say, it’s still to this day
The end is near so run in fear
These atoms, they burn our tears
[Chorus]
As the people begin to cry
We begin to question why this had to be
Why can't you see they’re human beings
As the people begin to cry
We begin to question why this had to be
Why can't you see they’re human beings
[Verse 3]
Hell on earth, fallout dirt, losing all our worth
Not a life could be saved, doomed to death by burning rays
The skies are red, not a breath, all families are dead
The end is near, so run in fear
These atoms, they burn our tears
[Chorus]
As the people begin to cry
they begin to question why this had to be
Why can't you see they’re human beings
As the people begin to cry
We begin to question why this had to be
Why can't you see they’re human beings
[Verse 4]
Savage force, steer the course, the war to end all wars
Numbers high, of those who die, death comes from the sky
Fear throughout, across the globe, all have yet to know
The end is near so run in fear
These atoms, they burn our tears
[Chorus]
As the people begin to cry
they begin to question why this had to be
Why can't you see they’re human beings
As the people begin to cry
We begin to question why this had to be
Why can't you see they’re human beings

Butterflies

[Verse 1]
Just sit back try to relax, i’ll take care of you
Darkness taking over now, tell me what to do
Lean in close, listen closer, soon enough you'll see
Butterflies take over now, you belong to me
[Chorus 1]
Yield to touch, I feel the rush
Give in to will, a constant thrill
Rejoice in pain and I’ll beg for more
Submit all my power, my body and mind are yours
[Verse 2]
Split and swollen, cherry red, bleeding is my muse
Hunger taking over now, whichever shall I choose
Quick and clean, slow and savory, sharp and blunt alike
Butterflies take over now, I feel so alive
[Chorus 2]
Smash and drive, I slash and thrive
The cracks and tears, music to my ears
Rivers run red, a sight so divine
Submit to my power, your body and soul are mine
[Verse 3]
Grotesque pleasure satisfies, lust beyond my dreams
Cravings taking over now, bliss to me you bring
I'm your puppet, wretched servant, use me as you please
Butterflies take over now, nearing my release
[Chorus 3]
Feel the spark, now cold and dark
Amidst the night there shines a light
Tainted foul mistress, I worship thee
Submit to high power, my body and spirit are free
