War Never Changes

Verse 1:
Lead and metal, crashing to the ground
Imminent sorrow of families all around
Napalm death raining from the sky leaving fire in its wake for all left to die
Seas of blood fill the green pasture, all in the name for the one true master
Cracks and shouts echo through the night
Children scream frightened 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
Soldiers bound by blood, with faith in friendship
Let friends die in the name of kinship
With feet planted on the ground, focused to kill the soldiers all around
Now as the bullets begin to die down, so do the men, they all hit the ground
Now much worse than the gun in hand
Innocent blood covers the land
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
[solo]
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

Corruption of Power

Verse 1:
The system! Its 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! The regime will die with you
Severed! The cycle shall not renew
Now! Our lives start 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
06:10
|
|

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 can’t commit suicide
Every day, I feel the pain
And its 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, its 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 its 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, its 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
[solo]
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, its 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

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

With the music in my feet
I’m thrashing through the street
Causing chaos where I go
It’s the metal life I know

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

With the music in my feet
I’m thrashing through the street
Causing chaos where I go
It’s the metal life I know
[solo]
Verse 3:
Can you hear the metal! A quick rush to the head
Louder and faster! ill thrash till I’m dead
Intensify! Electrify! Go all the way
Live the life! The only life! live the metal way!

I’m thrashing through the street
Causing chaos where I go
It’s the metal life I know

Everybody’s running, they don’t know where to go

Everybody’s hiding, they don’t know what to do
Everybody take arms and gather the troops
Pre-chorus
They will not conquer our souls
It’s time to take back control

Gather all the children, take them all away
This battle will get ugly, they should not live this day

Although we’re outnumbered, we’ll show them who’s tough

It’s time to take back control

We’ll fight, to win, to live
This fight, we won’t forgive
We’ll fight the higher powers

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
To restore order and take back control

Won’t you join us and take back control

We’ll fight, to win, to live
This fight, we won’t forgive

This is our land, our home, our right
If you try to take this from us…
No! We’re not gonna go out without a fight

Everybody’s running they don’t know where to go
Anywhere but here, cause this is our home
All of them are dying, dying where they stand
This is what happens when you try to take our land

We have conquered their souls
And we’ve taken back our control
Chorus:
We’ll fight, to win, to live
This fight, we won’t forgive
We’ll fight the higher powers

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 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 burn our tears
Chorus
Oh yea!
As the people begin to cry, they begin to question why
This had to be they’re human beings(x2)
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, families are dead
The end is near, so run in fear, these atoms burn our tears
Chorus:
Oh yea!
As the people begin to cry, they begin to question why
This had to be they’re human beings(x2)
[solo]
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 burn our tears
Chorus:
Oh yea!
As the people begin to cry, they begin to question why
This had to be they’re human beings(x2)
