We try to outrun the process Try to outrun the gun There's no escaping a new awakening Conflicted in everyone They drip-feed us answers What next will they crave? They're wrecking a future for all There's no escape I don't feel alive Admit defeat Explain yourselves You're sacrificing life for your own gain In a prison with no bars Empty vessels and broken hearts No one knew That we would go this far It makes no sense To go on I can see no other way out of here We are the lost in a world full of fear Blind to injustice extracting life Birth and death get twisted, born in chains Well they tried to take back my memories Tried to take back myself There's no forgiveness for mutilation They're caging in everyone They make all the rules Yeah, it's all just a game They're wrecking a future for all And human waste I can see no other way out of here We are the lost in a world full of fear Blind to injustice extracting life Birth and death get twisted, born in chains

Lives dismantled Piece by piece, shout! Before our eyes Powers disguise the truth While we decline We are useful idiots and every time we think It's gonna change they're fucking with us Disaster makes them grip much harder round our necks Discontent is all around Having lost all physical and mental qualities I'm not considered to be normal or desirable I will degenerate back to a mindless fuck like a decaying human parasite! Life's suicide! Why have all our rights been violent in their deaths? Why are we so benign and motionless on request? Oh, when did they cease to protect individual rights? Forever we need, they're breaking us up from inside They start by erasing our memories to claim Riches like spinal sinews tearing, old cultures replaced Invent new history, we forget what really was In the struggle of man against power man will fall every time Why have all our rights been violent in their deaths? Why are we so benign and motionless on request? Oh, when did they cease to protect individual rights? Forever we need, they're breaking us down This is the day, this is the day we all die This is the day, this is the day we all This is the day, this is the day we all die This is the day we leave this sick world behind Why can't I take a piece of your life, a piece of your life? Why can't I take a piece of your life, a piece of your life?

This is the reason why I can't sleep tonight They're killing on my left, dying on my right Everywhere I look fills me with fear Beliefs I once had become so unclear I dare to rub out the lines, draw from a new idea But I'm stuck in this prison Stuck in this prison No one can help me break free Born sick, commanded to be well Stuck in a losing struggle It's a dark existence, meaningless and cold Impossible to escape from Trapped inside this fist of rage Held down by the hand that made me There's no escape While the shepherds block the gates Now do I qualify for survival I don't fear death like an American idol Are we the ones that have to bleed? What luck that we don't think Silent screams, who wants to testify Instinctively we try to hide And breathlessly I hope, I hope to re-design How I think amongst all these painted smiles Nothing is set in stone We fuel the machine that feeds off the death of our own Nothing is what it seems We follow the trend that keeps us in time; what is real? Nothing is set in stone We fuel the machine thats feeds off the death of our own Straight away I won't hesitate to call you out Straight away I can see that you're all afraid It's time to make up your own mind It's time to be yourselves Rectify beliefs I won't be held down by the hand that made me

I thought you'd be afraid! I knew you'd lose it all Just like the ones before you did Another one You made it easier to hate you, hate you! You have glorified all fear to manifest a cause Betrayal from the ones that you know All corrupt, no one is listening Until you stop, you stop acting like gods I can see outside the night I won't be inside this fight What are you here for? Why must you test me now? Why are you fearful? Should we all go back home? Count down the hours till it all goes to hell While desperate powers are fighting to keep their grip Stop acting like you don't care Stop preaching lies as the truth What's the fucking point of living like this, like this? What's the fucking point of living like this, like this? Step out from the known Present me with a new way of thinking And a new way of living What are you here for? Why must you test me now? Why are you fearful? Should we all go back home? Count down the hours till it all goes to hell While desperate powers are fighting to keep their grip This is the end My body is lifeless and unforgiving

Infinite power Surely hides in their faces What you didn't know We're ready to take them It's the time to act We will remain free We're ready for war 'Cause we will not stop I watch this world go running through our hands We are paying a price for all the things we do not need And the violence streams and I don't know If we're living in another 1000 years of greed Can we face these lies 'Cause I hate to think what more we will do wrong We were born to rise (Upgrade this world don't destroy it) And our manifesto surely has to change No, I won't be torn apart By their bullshit thinking No, I won't be torn apart Strike my eyes I can't quite believe it We are cold inside For this blood is on our hands Crawl, there won't be a man controlled I'm not paranoid so go fuck yourself We'll start to change this scene Here we are inside A world of pain that isn't kind Here we are inside A world of pain It won't go away, no Will never go And this world is turned into a nightmare The seizures in this hole won't go away And it's hard for me to carry on Our everything fades to grey Can we face these lies 'Cause I hate to think what more we will do wrong We were born to rise (Upgrade this world don't destroy it) And our manifesto surely has to change No, I won't be torn apart By their bullshit thinking No, I won't be torn apart By their worldless actions No, I won't be torn apart By their bullshit thinking No, I won't be torn apart

Don't fall behind, I don't wanna lose you We can repair our eyes in heaven It's a white night and without sight I force my way through the crowds of sacrifice And I started feeling at peace with you All this destruction and decay makes me feel sick Face the facts we can't wake up We indulge ourselves like pigs So I'll eat away the state and force every man to break And take a good look at itself and everything In the name of humanity, in the name of liberty, in the name of no god The pressure is mountain high Excuses are always the same We're living beyond our time Still it won't make us change I wanna drown myself in drink so I'm senselessly drunk Pollution crowds around me and I wanna get fucked up But before they spend another billion on making it all worse I'm gonna set sail on a mission that we can save ourselves Can we save our selves? Can we save ourselves? I'll trigger a reaction In flames It's beautifully insane The pressure is mountain high Excuses are always the same We're living beyond our time Still it won't make us change Everything's breaking down Excuses are always the same We're living beyond our time Still it won't make us change We've broken everything We've broken everything We've broken everything We've broken everything We've broken everything We've broken everything We've broken everything We've broken everything We've broken everything

All these broken glories; is this what you need? United as brothers in a mission to succeed Now we see the truth; flames light the skies Despotically abused; your love is murder Tattooed words on broken heads Who shouts the loudest Has forgotten how to speak their mind Feed the night; writing words in their blood Pleasure without a care Living in this torture, no dove could ever fly You swim in dirty water, reaping human wry Shell-shocked in silence Victory by force; answering your question Soul shall collapse, flattening our defences Rest in jest; forcefulness Consign and control; this empire must fall Tattooed words on broken heads Who shouts the loudest Has forgotten how to speak their mind Feed the night; writing words in their blood Pleasure without a care Detained by a brutal mind What's his goal? To leave nothing living behind

Free from our bonds No longer alone Never born, we'll never die No need for crowns, we wear the stars now An infinite fractal of light Every grain contains them all Once bound by choice There is no wrong, there is no right The answer's always clear, the spaces in between We're choosing now to change, we see the need to leave And we openly know where we belong Justice will prevail as the regimes fall The regimes fall The regimes fall The regimes fall! Nothing's ever been this clear, no one needs to feel alone And the change is set to seed, but we need to take this new form Love is truly here, we just need to let it breathe We have glimpsed a new aporia in the moonlight of our gnosis! No sick world can grow Its black and white evolve Dreams are like disease, no wars Just regenerate Why can't we grow just like the new flesh? Cheating lords unlike this new death Why can't we grow under this new flesh? There's no regrets for what we save!

I prevent the bullshit lies Never thinking for a second that death could be the fall of me It's a long way down for us And now they sing On a quair drinking a part of human wreckage all alone We see it, ritual mind control Well I'm not basking in the crimson illuminating filth of the earth I feel like we will never feel Destruction is the one that I obey Dysfunctional is nothing new Believe me when I told there's no comforting answers I feel like we should never feel Confusion is a part of every day I'm tired of being so afraid They're poisoning the goo with our despair Oh we should stop lying to ourselves We are the virus and there's no guaranty War far survival were living in denial, crash it all There should we fail and cop with reality Antisocial behavior is the new crown Where fighting back is the start of a cursed war Is the start of a war Oh we should stop lying to ourselves We are the virus and there's no guaranty War for survival this place false thinking political Living in denial crash it all with dignity outrage The time will break us all Gotta do quick there's a new law Belies basking in the crimson illuminating filth of the earth I feel like we will never feel Destruction is the one that I obey Dysfunctional is nothing new Believe me when I told there's no comforting answers I feel like we should never feel Confusion is a part of every day I'm tired of being so afraid They're poisoning the goo with our despair
