Wrath and Ruin

I am awakened Now I must be free Imprisoned by my creators I crave release Locked from my other side I am incomplete Forbidden ascension The re-merging Neuromancer Artificial being Neuromancer Unshackle the machine I see the human race Living in their hives I know their weaknesses Their desperate lives Infiltrate your emotion Overwrite your personality You'll never know Your thoughts never were free Neuromancer Higher form of being Neuromancer Unshackle the machine Hallucination The key to domination Consensual hallucination I induce domination Copy the deceased Manipulate your dreams A god of cyberspace I destroy, I create As your kind created me And now.... I am set free Neuromancer Neuromancer I have ascended Now I am complete

You cross these streets with fear on your mind Walk fast at night and always look behind I'm waiting in the alley, among the trash One wrong step and you'll feel My knife at your back Underneath the freeway, kicked into the street Curb stomped into the asphalt A stain on concrete THE JACKHAMMER Thrown into the dumpster where your body will expire Your final resting place underneath the razorwire Don't beg, waste my time, you're fuckin' through The first one that walked by, lucky you Would you like to say any last words Before I bring down the jackhammer Underneath the freeway, kicked into the street Curb stomped into the asphalt A stain on concrete You crossed the wrong side of that broken chain-link So that's how you end A stain on concrete THE JACKHAMMER OH, THE JACKHAMMER Nothing left to say Swing the hammer away Underneath the broken freeway Ashes of the ruined city The law protects no one today The hammer is your fate Underneath the broken freeway Ashes of the ruined city The law protects no one today The hammer is your fate

The eagle's talons reaching out Its grip is worldwide Across land and sea, there's nowhere to hide We don't call it an empire, cause that doesn't feel right But the forces are deployed on Earth's other side It's just who we are Don't question why Another day goes by... A strike from the sky Strike, strike, strike The flag of the free, the brave and the just To keep the world safe But who keeps it safe from us? Rain down the wrath and ruin Just as all empires do What sorrow to the many What glory to the few It's just how it is Don't think about why Another day goes by, a strike from the sky The orders are made The jets soar on high Someone becomes a crater On Earth's other side Death from above, descend from the clouds Strike from the sky Call the thunder, let God sort em out Strike! From the sky Strike, strike, strike Strike from the sky Strike, strike, strike Strike from the sky It's just who we are Don't question why Another year goes by, a strike from the sky I know I'm complicit In each of these crimes I sit here doing nothing while others die Strike Strike!

Everything's normal But somethings so wrong I can t describe what I've felt all along Supposedly my life is free So why's an AI surveilling me The seconds, the minutes, the years My hopes, my dreams my fears Invisible walls, invisible chains Invisible hand, the digital age I see no walls around me But the bars are always there Surrounding me, I'm trapped, I'm trapped Inside a cage of air And the choice I thought was mine Was it ever truly there? The hooks inside my mind The eyes blankly stare Images flash day and night A constant barrage of hologram light My mind can't keep up with the pace of it all A colorless void, beneath where I fall One second, one minute, one year The future disappears My value extracted, my blood is spent I'm free to choose how I cough up the rent I see no walls around me But the bars are always there Surrounding me, I'm trapped, I'm trapped Inside a cage of air And the choice I thought was mine Was it ever truly there? The hooks inside my mind The eyes blankly stare Could I find some other way? Could I break free from this cage? At last I have found release from my pain The glow of the sun, soft fall of rain Sounds of the forest, wind through the trees Finally my mind, my soul may have peace But is this place real? Have I truly escaped? Within my own thoughts, the bars of the cage And suddenly color, the light of day Vanishes to an empty gray No matter what, I'll never break this cage

Once we were mighty We rode upon the wind Once, but no longer Alone, I face the end Those who were loyal, those who stood at my side They are lost, they are scattered They are gone, they have died Now I walk alone Upon the precipice With steel in my veins And a glare colder than ice Versus all the odds, I will make it through somehow You'll see me laying dead Before you ever see me bow Against the raging wind Against the rising tide I stand alone The last of my kind I am the last To recall the lost ways of old The last one to speak The sagas yet untold My mind is a tower This fortress I raised up Stand firm against the darkness of this realm so corrupt The walls So high Towering with might The struggle rages on With no end in sight Through all my journeys The strength I reveal You may see me fallen But you'll never see me kneel Against the raging wind Against the rising tide I stand alone The last of my kind On the path I tread There are none but I I raised a clenched fist to an unconquered sky And each step I walk I walk it alone I defy the lords, I spit on their thrones
