What will you do when its right upon you like a ring of fire Why ask why no need to justify who really cares anyway Ethical tragedy rabid humanity learn from the past so they say Now is the time to make up your mind and find out what is real Fight or flight you can’t run, you can’t run from yourself One reason to survive with a thousand ways to die when you’re living on the wire Reaching the threshold near system overload caught on the red eye again Now is the time to make up your mind and find out what is real Fight or flight you can’t run, you can’t run from yourself Close your eyes, and hear the voices in your head Grand disguise this mass confusion revered illusion Some grid the mast on their final descent into the darkness below Other will fight, kick and crawl their way out, there is no heaven below Now is the time to make up your mind and find out what is real Fight or flight you can’t run, you can’t run from yourself (FIGHT) You can’t run (FIGHT) From the arrow of time

Man down into the darkness they hunt you tracking blood upon the streets Security is breached political elite who’s the savior when the martyr knows your name GUARDIAN Pixels of light infrared from the sight that shed upon you Facing the enemy fascist supremacy fight to live another day It’s time to rise up, united, we stand divided we fall, evolution calling Insurrection this time were playing for keeps Arming police like the military its obscene and they’re stalking the streets It’s time to rise up, united, we stand divided we fall, evolution calling Torn inside we’ve fallen to another side Are we so cold and out of love Keep on trying hold the child Faces crying changing times It’s time to rise up, united, we stand divided we fall, evolution calling

Lock down what do we make of this madness it’s a world gone mad Shot down identity unknown mistaken for the enemy Artillery placed in the hands of a few psychosomatic rebellion Collateral damage here comes the shrapnel again piercing screams in my head Blackened shattered remains a season of change Anger and fear fuel the fire Blinded blind to the eyes of the world under a jaded sky Rapture heaven of hellfire we are fractured again Silenced from the underground Robbing the blind and steal from the dead Blackened shattered remains a season of change Anger and fear fuel the fire Hellfire Blackened shattered remains a season of change Anger and fear fuel the fire Tragic, loss and despair no rhyme or reason Blackened shattered remains black are the souls that tear down humanity What will you do when they come for you They’re closing in, they’re coming, fight for your life

What symbol would you choose to decorate your final breath You contemplate then choose the misery that serves you best It’s too late to realize you can’t dismiss your past So look around the time is now it’s time to beware A liquid toxic remedy it’s time to beware time to beware Every breath you take might be the last you’ll get Looking back do you see sad eyes like who you are drowning in regret Look around the time is now it’s time to beware A liquid toxic remedy it’s time to beware Melting faces upside down confinement is your friend Solitude that's ever found forgive me father I live in sin It’s too late to realize you can’t dismiss your past So look around the time is now it’s time to beware A liquid toxic remedy it’s time to beware

Silence what’s that you speak reform the rights til they’re tired and weak Suppress the information Confine the skeptics segregation Strangers passing by tunnel vision under the eye in the sky Who do you trust it’s on the currency man What is so hard don’t you understand Selfish lives gone are the days of familiar smiles Will we ever find our way Do you wanna be a slave to the system full metal jacket the only position Pick em of as easy as one, two, three Time to amend the ideology Selfish lives gone are the days of familiar smiles Will we ever find our way Selfish times a parasite of the satellites Are we better of today What’s your wavelength it is not a hard drive Come to life inside yourself now Selfish lives gone are the days of familiar smiles Will we ever find our way Selfish times a parasite of the satellites

Running out of time nowhere to go I’ve been searching blind through these hollow walls Escape these boundaries hanging by a thread Breathe through the cracks of this tunnel you’ll find appeared to be here all along Lost in the labyrinth of life stuck in the middle of the truth Crawl through the walls of this passage you’ll find the state of your mind There’s nothing left there’s nothing left for you where am I Thumbing through these pages patterns shifting slowly moving This consecrated ground that I stand a misunderstanding a misunderstanding Lost in the labyrinth of life stuck in the middle of the truth Crawl through the walls of this passage you’ll find the state of your mind Running out of time Lost in the labyrinth of life stuck in the middle of the truth Crawl through the walls of this passage you’ll find the state of your mind There’s nothing left Eye nine

How many times must we try Lost in the gaze of your watering eyes How many times have we questioned all we’ve ever known I stood right by your side but my love was not enough Now you’re aiming there’s no use in waiting You know the triggers right in front of you so pull it out now and make a move I’m bulletproof The cleanse of surrender has freed me no longer victim of change With secrets inside the cosmos is watching your every move I’m still in your sights mo matter how much I try Now you’re aiming there’s no use in waiting You know the triggers right in front of you so pull it out now and make a move I’m bulletproof As day bleeds to night I’m still in your sight You know the triggers right in front of you so pull it out now and make a move I’m bulletproof Now you’re aiming there’s no use in waiting You know the triggers right in front of you so pull it out now and make a move I’m bulletproof And now who’s to blame life is give and take Searching for that special break Only finding it was never there

The metronome of rain on the rooftop Velvet draped across the floor Was a time when we measured but never up to our fathers The sorrow cuts and as I stare at the blade you’ve reached the dark we fear Locked stitches in time nothing can break apart our seams You were humble and kind pondering times as I sit in a shrine never meant to be Rebuilding a passion that never saw a highway How many more miles would you bare my friend Like a jab to the throat surrealism silenced the voice but what is left to say And all I can think is thank you for your time as I reflect with pain Locked stitches in time nothing can break apart our seams You were humble and kind pondering times as I sit in a shrine never meant to be Spiraling the hourglass You have loved you have seen through the darkest nights that steal your dreams You have gone slipped away Only time will help to ease the pain Spiraling the hourglass

What could I say to you there’s nothing I wouldn’t do We’ve travelled so far now it’s just us once again Pictures appeared from the dark Of days long ago when we made a start Like a gift to a stranger bring a smile to the face You’re my solitude my serenity with an angels face Hearing the sound of a cry peacefully sleep to a lullaby A silent movie scene a capsule in time The days when we were young all we had was time We’ll ride this train all the way to the heavens Just you and me hand in hand My mothers voice calling out to me from the other side patiently Slip inside my dream carry me away Time goes by no matter what you say or do I still love you Time goes by but with you now the days get longer Reflections of time they’re yours and mine The things that used to be still remains so fine Is the face of a child your calm embrace You’re my shining star of the darkest nights a saving grace Seeing the sings of the times forever is now there’s no rewind Slip inside my dream carry me away Time goes by no matter what you say or do I still love you Time goes by but with you now the days get longer

I am the one that’s been keeping you alive Who am I to even try caught in the middle again Sacrifice I give and I give and you take Paid the price needles to say it was never enough Lift lifting the veil revealing the mask in disguise For you are the star no one can see a comical tragedy Sacrifice I give and I give and you take Paid the price needles to say it was never enough With hope I’ll find a way No turning back it’s to late With love and hope you can find a way Time will reveal who’s left and who’s dying alone
The clock on the wall, the only face of truth Stoke the fire, hide what remains No more lies, a crime of passion Bloodstained smiles, the violence now silence alas Muffled cries resemble once moans of lust

Do we ever stop and wonder whats around us Do we take for granted what some may dream to have Broken words of yesterday feels like I'm standing still Promises don't mean a thing like a hunt without the kill Do we ever take the time to see what comes and what goes by Do we ever stop to see just who we'll leave behind who are you leaving behind Broken words of yesterday feels like I'm standing still Promises don't mean a thing like a hunt without the kill As the wise man waits the widow prays searching remnants of yesterday and the shadow cry when darkness fades we try to understand under moonlit skies Welcome to a generation divided unity of man Disconnected circuitry pull the trigger on demand No remorse they have no sense of apathy Critical mass on it's way who is searching for the truth Desensitize the innocence quick to medicate the youth As the wise man waits the widow prays searching remnants of yesterday and the shadow cry when darkness fades we try to understand under moonlit skies A chapade in broken frames gather pieces from the past shape the species over time moralities collapse Millennia of holy wars suppress the meek and mild Profits of the corporate whores who will teach the child Illusions cast in complex forms death creates new life No reception tonight Welcome to a generation We are all condition hüman No remorse they have no sense of apathy
