We are collective entities The framework of punishment for all to see You've stolen something so pure to me A life so full of shine now dulled intensity We shall bereave Stand up, show your identity We decode and decrypt now with impunity Your freedom, a fluid industry Compiled under the guise of anonymity Click to agree Solo: Henderson We comply and the truth is found once we toe the line Our revelations all will be revealed In time to the ones who seek with their open eyes Who will be spared? All gaze upon the scolded witch Your speech is laden false, lies tethered inch by inch Surveillance shall breed conformity And press upon the tongue that speaks against me
Violence it's the only way for me to justify An aggression that bears no face even exposed to the light A veiled disease planting IED's under the crescent moon My Enemy, You are not the conqueror this time We open pits again As we pile up the bodies so high Our sense of humanity is tossed away As soon as we attain solid visual Decapitate no matter the age or the tribe Your cavity of freedom is filled with passivity In the shadows of human tyranny you undermine We open up pits again As we pile up the bodies so high Our sense of direction is lost Solo: Henderson Martyrs, assassins We mourn and move on as the sun disappears To dig trenches four Caliphs Our laws are null you abide to no one Extremists, no leaders This genocide will destroy your identity But it has to be As you dance on the corpses and wail to the almighty above In this time of war Let the moon heal the body, sore We are forever more Until the ashes sweep under the door, then you'll know Solo: Henderson In this time of war Let the moon heal the body, sore We are forever more Until the ashes sweep under the door, Then you know we're gone Solo: Henderson Go forth in the night You're a compass for us all Follow what is right And your stories will be told Some by force and some by choice In time you all shall leave me I do not fear to be alone Solitary, I will atone Graves of sand we all are damned A body count so accurate We are surgical in our trade Enslaved you will be trained Never strive for life unstrifed We fight out of necessity This canvas will always be Chaotic and painted with blood As we pile up the bodies so high Our sense of direction is lost Solo: Henderson

Relent to the feeling you try to resist; now it has all come to this Medicine cabinets are your treasure troves now the hunt is on After the high a crushing low you scrape away the release because it's slow Driven to the mill to block the ills, pillbilly you are never alone You were the light of your family A beacon of hope snuffed out before you Everything changes nothing here stays the same These West Virginia hills will sedate you You rise again to fall again I cannot believe you would murder for medicine Claw the guilt away as the crank bugs they burrow below You wake to the misery of your life compounded from dependency Coal mine scrip, Suboxone strips our pride is swallowed away You were the light of your family A beacon of hope snuffed out before you Everything changes nothing here stays the same These West Virginia hills will sedate you Solo: Henderson One man's cure is another man's malady A door unlocked I'm standing above you Nothing is sacred everything's here to take These West Virginia pills will sedate you Oh, what a rush

Solo: Henderson Nobody notices the difference here Outside of me a hollow frame I lie awake no feelings of shame I smile when all of the fools believe The path I've taken eroding from me My eyes are dry they do not shed a tear Sanctuary was taken from me I laugh and talk and keep thinking that I'm still here The fractured moments of our life they are lost Hemorrhage the tears no more You never tried to lift me up and let me fly with my own wings Burdened by small and petty things Our yesterdays erased, depreciation seeping from the lips, Judas What is it like to live and love without the lies? Tell before the seal is permanent You fail to realize Selfish acts will define By grievance, you then will learn A misery so cold It blots out the sun, surrendered The only one to fall will be yourself Solo: Henderson I cannot fathom what is happening Never amnesty for me You never tried what kind of life do you expect for me to lead? An open wound for calm to cauterize You fail to realize Selfish acts will define By grievance, you then will learn A misery so cold It blots out the sun, abandoned You uttered we are done, the only words I, let no calm groweth inside me I, know that love is not the remedy We arrive unsympathized I, wave the white flag to misery

Hear ye, all you grovelers of Earth You impede our constant inertia No progression, your isolation now forms your beliefs Our existence a truth your instruments can not perceive You're not awake Your will to struggle we shall deplete Subjugation will be complete We are still the architects of your fate, deter the disease Our message is a mandate your answer a ballot, get off your knees And face the truth without the filter of dogma We don't forgive nor forget so now expect us The deepness of sadness Your rituals are useless now Solutions decreasing We bring to light your prophets false Discoveries irreversible Now laid upon cuneiforms Extinction of denier's faith Know the ally from your dominator Solo: Henderson Forever pull the plug from your light source Now mother earth can heal through Terraform From dark intentions of human overlords It's time to sleep again forever more You Sleep, We Wake...

There was a time when our bond rose above not long ago Blinded by the allure I was running lost, navigating the lies But I have learned from a life of mistakes to not look back at them And never sow the deadly seeds of doubt in my mind The Devil wants to take me again It was a road less traveled paved with Good intentions that brought me out of hell And those intentions spread like ashes upon my life And through it all I have sacrificed myself to never be the same So who amongst you without fault come forth and cast at me The Devil wants to take me again No one knows the sadness that I hide Failure breaks me down from deep inside Feel this depression weighing down Walls that once were gone, now they surround Solos: Henderson, Henderson, Ojeda

Shed yourself of the albatross There is no greater loss For they will take you underground Where you'll never be found Loneliness is just a phase But it's one that I retain A place of comfort known to me But to others, only pain Solo: Henderson Trust in me, my only friend Mirror of despair Seek a new beginning For tomorrow won't be there The devil wants to take me alive All my life you'll see The devil wants to take me again Life you'll see
