See How You Are

I WALKED THROUGH FLAME. I SWAM THROUGH FLOOD. I'VE SEEN DEATH'S FACE AND IT WASN'T ENOUGH. I LIVED THROUGH DROUGHT AND MANAGED TO DRINK. I'VE HAD MY DOUBTS WHEN THE BLIND BELIEVED. AS WE NOW STAND TRIAL FOR THE SINS OUR FATHERS MADE. THE REAPER DIGS A SHALLOW GRAVE AND I KNOW WE'LL FIND REDEMPTION YET, IF IT TAKES ME 'TILL MY LAST BREATH. YOU SEARCH YOUR LIFE BUT NEVER HAVE TO LOOK FAR, TO SEE HOW YOU ARE. SEE- SEE HELL AND HIGH WATER COMING. HOW- HOW THESE OBSTACLES ARE NOTHING. YOU- YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE. ARE- ARE YOU THE CHOSEN ONE? SEE- SEE HOW YOU ARE.

THE WAR UNSEEN. BETWEEN THE LINES OF PROMISES AND DREAMS. A WAR UNSEEN. I'VE ALWAYS DONE THE BEST WITH WHAT WAS GIVEN TO ME AND THAT AIN'T MUCH. THE DEVIL IS DOWN AT THE CROSSROADS WHERE FEW HAVE MADE IT BACK ALIVE. THE CROSSROADS WHERE SOULS ARE SOLD. THAT IS WHERE I'LL FIGHT FOR MINE. NOW WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? WARFARE TO TRICK THE EYE. IN THIS DARK DUALITY I CHOOSE LIFE. THE WAR UNSEEN. BETWEEN THE LINES OF PROMISES AND DREAMS. A WAR UNSEEN. NOW WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? WARFARE TO TRICK THE EYE. IN THIS DARK DUALITY I CHOOSE LIFE. NOW WHAT SAY YOU? THE DARKEST PROPHECIES ARE TRUE. NOW WHAT SAY YOU? YOUR RED RIGHT HAND KEPT OUT OF VIEW.

I HAD FAITH TO FIND A TOUGHER HOUSE WHERE THE WRECKING BALL WOULD JUST BOUNCE OFF. WAITING AROUND BUT NO ONE EVER TOOK THE REIGNS. GOTTA DO IT MYSELF THERE'S NO BETTER WAY. TODAY, I TOOK A LOOK IN THE MIRROR. IT'S BEEN 27 YEARS AND I'M STILL HERE FOR THE ONES I HOLD DEAR AND I GOT NOTHING TO HIDE BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING TO FEAR. WHAT'S THE POINT? THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO SAY. HARD TIMES IN THIS PIT OF SHAME. I HAD FAITH TO FIND A TOUGHER HOUSE WHERE THE WRECKING BALL WOULD JUST BOUNCE OFF. VENGEANCE COMES LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. EVERYTHING TURNS BLACK THEN TURNS TO WHITE. HARD TIMES... VIOLENT MINDS... WHAT IS MY DESTINATION? WHAT ARE MY LIMITATIONS? LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT, I LEFT IT ALL BEHIND BECAUSE MY JOURNEY IS LIGHT. WHAT IS MY DESTINATION? WHAT ARE MY LIMITATIONS?

SHAKING THESE MENTAL CHAINS. AROSE FROM THE SHADOWS OF TEHACHAPI AND I KNOW THROUGH ALL THE PAIN I'M STILL SHAKING THESE MENTAL CHAINS. STOP LOOKING BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME. PAST THE TRAIN TRACKS, THROUGH THE JOSHUA TREES. SOUTHERN CLIMB IN THE CALIFORNIA SUMMER PRIME, 58 FREEWAY, HIGH DESERT HEAT TIME. STRUGGLED A PATHLESS WAY. TURNING BACK IN VAIN. BELIEVE WHAT I BECAME, YOU GOT TO FEEL THE ROAR I BRING. OUTRAGED THAT THE WINGS OF WRATH WERE FREE TO GO AND PLANT THEIR SEED. I WAS ALONE, BUT NOW I SEE. I CHOSE THE PATH THAT I NEED. THE DAYS OF OUR YOUTH STILL FRESH IN MY MIND. IT'S HARD TO FORGET OLD FEELINGS REVIVED.

I'M SEARCHING FOR THE RHYTHM, FOR THE REASON WHY I'M STILL THROWING DOWN. LET'S GO. LET'S TAKE IT BACK IN TIME, THE DAYS OF YOUTH WE SEARCHED INSIDE. FOR IDENTITY WE FOUND HUMILITY. OUR INSANITY GAVE US SOME REALITY. BUT NOW WHERE DO WE STAND? BETWEEN AWKWARD AND CARELESS HANDS THAT ARE TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOOR ON WHAT WAS SO PURE. YOU'RE NOT LISTENING ANYMORE... YOU'RE NOT REACHING OUT ANYMORE... YOU'RE NOT LISTENING ANYMORE... BUT SOMEHOW I'M STILL HERE. I'M PUSHING ON TO THE RHYTHM. YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT SON YOU GOTTA FIND YOURSELF... IS THIS A SIGN OF TIMES? COMPLACENT YOUTH THAT LOOK SO BLIND. WITH YOUR MENTALITY, THE DETRIMENT IS STIFLING. YOUR IDENTITY I CAN'T EVEN STAND TO SEE. SO THIS IS WHERE I STAND. AMONG THE LEMMINGS I'LL JUST HOLD BACK. WITHOUT SHAME I'LL JUST MOVE ON WHEN THEY'RE GONE.

HERE WE GO AGAIN! THE DEMON TALKS IN MANY WAYS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, ONE LAST DEBT TO PAY. I FINALLY OPENED MY EYES AND WALKED THROUGH THE MAZE, WHERE THE END OF THE WORLD COLLIDES WITH THE DAY. DON'T TRUST. DON'T SLEEP. JUST LISTEN TO THE DEMON SPEAK. WHILE A WICKED WORLD DOOMED TO REPEAT STILL WATCHING, WAITING ALL NON DISCRETE. DON'T WALK INTO THAT MAZE... EH FOOL, DON'T TALK TO ME. I GOT A LOT ON MY MIND AND I'M READY TO LEAVE... YOU GOTTA HEED THAT WINDY SIGN - ALL LAY TO REST... I'M STANDING ON THE CEILING AGAIN, NO NEED TO PRETEND. HERE WE GO AGAIN. I STUMBLED MY HOMETOWN IN A DAZE JUST SHORT OF DEATHS DOOR IN MANY WAYS. DON'T TRUST. DON'T SLEEP. JUST LISTEN TO THE DEMON SPEAK. YOU GOTTA HEED THAT WINDY SIGN. DON'T DISOBEY AND YOU WILL FIND THE SECRET OF HUMANITY, INFINITY IN TIME, AND THE STRUGGLE FOR MY SANITY. STANDING ALONE WITHOUT FEAR. NEVER WASTING A FOOLISH TEAR. AND THE KNIFE GOES DEEPER BECAUSE IT'S ALL TOO REAL. ALL I THINK ABOUT IS TIME WON'T HEAL. ALL THAT'S LEFT FOR THE FUTURE IS TO ROT AND DECAY... DOOM-FILLED CLOUDS AND FORBIDDEN WAVES. - IT'S YOUR PUNISHMENT.

[FEATURING WINSTON MCCALL/PARKWAY DRIVE/VOCALS] ONLY ONE MATCH TO IGNITE THE WAR. EASY TO START BUT TO END IT'S SO HARD. COMMANDING THE STRINGS OF THIS MARIONETTE. THE SERPENT'S FANGS, YEAH YOU MUST NOT TEST. FOR IT IS HERE WHERE I MUST REPENT, IT IS HERE WHERE I MUST CONSENT TO THE SOUND... CONSENT TO THE SOUNDS OF BROKEN GLASS... TO THE SOUNDS OF WAR IN OUR CHAOTIC AGE. HOW MANY OF YOU SAY? HOW MANY OF YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT THE SLAVE? HOW MANY OF YOU SAY? HOW MANY OF YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT TOO BLAME. JUDGMENT SET TO RETALIATE. JUDGMENT SET TO ANNIHILATE. PANIC! IN FEAR I FROZE NOW IT'S BRANDED UPON MY MIND. I GOT NOTHING TO HIDE. ACCEPT THIS TRUTH LYING DEEP INSIDE ME. EMPTY HANDS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO NOTHING. A CRYPTIC MIND IS WHERE I HID ALL MY BITTERNESS. INTERNAL WAR INSIDE OF MY HEAD THAT PITIES THE FIRE, BUT HARVESTS THE FLAME. ONLY ONE MATCH.

I AM THE ENFORCER. INTERNALLY I EXIST. I AM THE POWER OF THE NEW AGE THAT YOU MUST NEVER BETRAY. DON'T UPSET THE BALANCE OF THE SYSTEM WE WORK SO HARD TO MAINTAIN. TO SPEAK OR BE SILENT, THE LESSON YOU LEARN. WHEN IT ALL CRASHES DOWN THERE'LL BE NOWHERE FOR YOU TO TURN. THIS CLOCK IS TICKING. I KNOW YOU MUST BE THINKING THAT LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING FOR. MISTAKES THAT WILL OUTWEIGH YOUR TIME FRAME. 24 HOURS A DAY AND WE'RE STILL PAVING THE WAY. THIS IS THE NEW AGE. WE KEEP YOU BUSY TRYING TO AFFORD THE MOLDS WE SET FOR YOU. WE MAKE IT SO YOU STAY IN THE LOOP. HOW MUCH LONGER WILL YOU? THE STRUGGLE IS FOR LIFE. PEOPLE OF THE FUTURE AGE, THEY BOUND ME WITH AN IRON CHAIN. THEY SHOOK MY WORLD, THEY TOOK MY NAME, NEVER TO BE THE SAME. SO TELL ME WHO'S TO BLAME?

[FEATURING ANDREW VERITY/VENDETTA & RETALIATE/VOCALS] ONE DAY YOU WILL CEASE TO EXIST. NO BLURRY LINES OF CONSCIOUSNESS. THE ONLY THING LEFT IS VISION OF LIGHT, REMEMBERING MOMENTS FROM YOUR LIFETIME. REGRETS THAT YOU COULDN'T FORGET. THE REOCCURRING NIGHTMARE THAT YOU LIVED WITH. NO RECONCILIATION. ONLY TO DIE WITH NO SELF-PESERVATION. WE'RE ALL GUILTY. TIME WON'T STAND STILL. IT'S TIME TO CHOOSE YOUR WILL. LOVE AND HUMAN ERROR. NEVER WASTE A FOOLISH TEAR... ALL ALONG THE WAY. OF ALL THE WASTED YEARS YOU CAN'T TAKE BACK ALL THE PAIN THAT YOU ONCE FELT, AND NEVERMIND THE HEARTBREAK. IT WAS NEVER REAL IN THE FIRST PLACE. NEVER REAL IN THE FIRST PLACE. THERE NEVER WAS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. THE LIMITS OF YOUR TIME AS YOU PLANNED IT TO BE. TIME PASSED THAT YOU COULDN'T FORESEE. ALL ALONG THE WAY. LOVE WON'T LAST FOR ANYONE.
