Throwdown
Album • 2014
The life I knew is but a memory, a better time corroded by a harsh reality What have we let ourselves become? A mercenary culture doomed to burn So tell me what it’s gonna be when fire lights your city’s streets Fight or die It’s your only choice to survive Fight or die When fear and chaos collide What the fuck has this world come to? I just don’t know What the fuck are you gonna do when the lights go black? Your rights are under siege, under attack And soon you’ll pay the price for your complacence with your life Fight or die It’s your only choice to survive Fight or die When fear and chaos collide What the fuck has the world come to? I just don’t know What the fuck are you gonna do when lights go black? It’s time we fired back Fight or die It’s your only choice to survive Fight or die When fear and chaos collide Fight or die

I’ll carry out my will, I’ll carry out my judgment for your filth I’ll carry out my will and watch them carry you away Justice betrays you Judgment awaits you in your grave You’re living on borrowed time now, waiting for the hammer to fall I carried out my will, I carried out my judgment for your filth I carried out my will and now I carry out my days… in my cell Justice betrays you Judgment awaits me in hell I’m living on borrowed time now, waiting for the hammer to fall
Never again... inferior, a casualty of lesser men Killing within… the part of me that died in vain, born again awash in flames Now hardened by consequence Tempered alone, flesh and stone Hardened by consequence Adversity has made me what I am The flood, it took you from me… I wept for the past to return But never again… Hardened by consequence Tempered alone, flesh and stone Hardened by consequence Integrity has made me what I am

Defend with violence, the truth and what is right Defend with violence, our honor, our way of life When silence is the native tongue of cowards And reason is the language you reject Confronted, the high road has collapsed Confronted, this is the only resolve that I have left, go! Defend with violence, the truth and what is right Defend with violence, our honor, our way of life When silence is the native tongue of cowards And reason is the language you reject Confronted, the high road has collapsed at last Confronted, this is the only resolve that I have left Go! Defend… Defend with violence, the truth and what is right Defend… Defend with violence, do what I must do to survive

Greater men than you have bled only to fail And greater men than you have died younger in vain So spare us the lament, the tears, the speech Just fall upon your fucking sword or put me out of your misery You want respect because you put in your time Entitled and indignant, you resign to a lie Now I’m not saying that it’s time to concede But in your disillusion you forgot what it means to Suffer, suffer to succeed To conquer you must suffer Suffer, pain is not the enemy Just what we need, another martyr to the crown of despair Just what we need, another victim of austerity’s mind Now spare us the lament, the years, the speech Just go out on your fucking shield or put me out of your misery You want respect because you put in your time But your ambitions aren’t your God given rights Now I’m not saying that it’s time to concede But if you are to conquer, you must first learn to bleed and Suffer, suffer to succeed To conquer you must suffer Suffer, pain is not the enemy Suffer Pain is not the enemy… you are

I refuse to piss away my time, I won’t dishonor these early graves And I refuse to live my life choking on the ashes of my smoldering memory Cut away, cut away, cut away from those who watched you sink Eradicate them from your fucking life, they’ve only served to make you weak This is what I am, the strength instilled Straight edge, harder than iron my will This is for life, for those we lost Straight edge, stronger than ever the cause I refuse to piss away my time, I won’t dishonor these early graves And I refuse to live my life choking on the ashes of my smoldering memory Cut away, cut away, cut away this cancer from your life Sever it, sever it, sever ties with all the scum who helped you die This is what I am, the strength instilled Straight edge, harder than iron my will This is for life, for those we live Straight edge, stronger than ever the cause Rise from the wreckage, the life that you knew is beneath you Purge the weakness, bleed out the lies Born of the ruin, stronger than ever you rise Straight edge, stronger than ever we rise

I scraped you and that ignorance from underneath my heel I treaded on the ashes of your faith I cleaned your blood and vanity from sharpened steel I cut a path through you and walked away Devastation, the blessed end of you Smash your arrogance with ire Burn before the fire of my intolerance Burn in the fire of my intolerance The fire of my intolerance for your depravity burns unrelenting in my veins This is how I abide your kind and your degeneration… With devastation the blessed end of you Smash your attitude with ire Burn before the fire of my intolerance Smash your arrogance with ire Burn before the fire of my intolerance Burn in the fire of my intolerance

Grinding down beneath the weight of fear and insecurity Coveting enslavement, what a vile travesty Instead, I live without weakness Die without fear Live without weakness Die without fear A predatory species salivating for my mortal end War is what you want, obliteration’s what you’ll fucking get I live without weakness Die without fear Live without weakness Die without fear or regret You’re shallow, scared and overrated I’m living without fear of death Your life reeks of desperation When can we hope to see it end? Where does it end? Live without weakness Die without fear Live without weakness Die without fear or regret

Born into solitude and suffering Dejected, despised, denied Nothing could ever erase the past A cruel truth emerges from the lies: Born and buried alone The truest words not carved into my stone Hate distorts a benign reality Dejected, despised, denied Grinding my fists into stone below me A cruel truth emerges from these lies: Born and buried alone The truest words not carved into my stone

War wages inside, violent disorder between heart and mind Scorn sutures my eyes, eviscerating me of strength and pride Condemned to live, to live with what I am Condemned to live, to live with what I’ve done Save me from life Cleanse me of despair, save me from life Cleanse me of remorse and fear Liberate me from my mortal enemy Liberate me from myself Pain, paralyzing Sentenced to carry these crosses of stone Weight, unforgiving Broken faith under splintering bone Save me from life Cleanse me of despair, save me from life Cleanse me of remorse and fear Liberate me from my mortal enemy Liberate me from myself Save me from life
