Watch as the sands of time bleed faster through our hands
Ive seen the masses fall from violence in their lands
From rivalry to corruption it seems to plague their minds
Entitlement, belligerent it's forced us to divide
Monsters we've become
Scavenging and raping
for the taking
This world is ours
Looting and pillaging
for the taking
A witness to the tragedy planted in our time
With power greed and envy imprinted in their mind
Neglect whats been taught through out culture and history
Just one more self destructive society
Humanity
Society
Epitome
Frailty
Take one step back to see what we've become
The treachery of modern man, an oath sworn in blood
Listen for the fighter planes to sing your last sad song
The humiliation of annihilation, this is what we've become
Monsters we've become
Scavenging and raping
for the taking
This world is ours
Looting and pillaging
for the taking
A witness to the tragedy planted in our time
With power greed and envy imprinted in their mind
Neglect whats been taught through out culture and history
Just one more self destructive society
Humanity
Society
Epitome
Frailty
Go ahead and put another crack into the liberty bell
Behind enemy lines, go ahead and send them to hell

Not Your Martyr
05:09
|

Diplomats with vested interest
They seem to start what others finish
Blood drunk with unknown power
Let the bombs drop on thee 11th hour
Turn on the news and watch at 7
Watch them feed us what we need
Seduce the peoples violent urge
To sit back and watch the others burn
Let the holy war continue longer
And lead millions more into the slaughter
Remove the head and the beast will die
End religion and unify
Blood runs thicker than water
And profit out weighs people
So they say fuck the world just let it burn
As long as there's a cent left to earn
Under table diplomats
Death to foreign innocence
It stays the same we never learn
Like history, it's just our turn
Media sells what we all buy
Make the killing justified
Turn off the news and the violence is gone
For the some the nightmare goes on
When is enough?
When does it stop?
When does it end?
And what was it worth?
As for me I've seen the light
Seen leaders preach and peasants fight
I've seen the truth for what it is
Armageddon is soon to begin
Light the match, spark the flame
The woven web of who's to blame
And when there's nothing left to earn
Is when the final Martyr will be born
Under table diplomats
Death to foreign innocence
It stays the same we never learn
Like history, it's just our turn
Media sells what we all buy
Make the killing justified
Turn off the news and the violence is gone
For the some the nightmare goes on
When is enough?
When does it stop?
When does it end?
And what was it worth?
I won't be your martyr
I won't be your slave

This Means War
03:30
|

This love of hatred, This lust for pain
No censor for malice
When your crimson paints the snow
Propagate the lies for all the youth too see
Your race and reason will go cold this season
*This Means War*
Dead men will preach no more
*This Means War*
Time for you to burn
*This Means War*
Settling the score
*This Means War*
Kicking down Metzgers door
and I'll watch you burn
How many more will fall to this?
How many more must die?
Racist unrest, fascist reign
Your just an insult to the rest of us
How have you gone this far?
This love of hatred you hold so dear
Racist propaganda depicts your fears
No peace through segregation
No growth in separation
So tonight I'm gonna paint the wall
With the blood of a patriot, a message to all
*This Means War*
Dead men will preach no more
*This Means War*
Time for you to burn
*This Means War*
Settling the score
*This Means War*
Kicking down Metzgers door
and I'll watch you burn
How many more will fall to this?
How many more must die?
Racist unrest, fascist reign
Your just an insult to the rest of us
How have you gone this far?
Fuck White Pride Is Our War Cry
How many more will fall to this?
How many more must die?
Racist unrest, fascist reign
Your just an insult to the rest of us
How have you gone this far?

Sons of Thunder
05:20

Nuclear rain, a winter wonder
The clock strikes, thee atomic number
Born and raised, in fallout shelters
We are, the sons of thunder
Our glowing eyes that pierce the blackness
Our forefather's, we're cooked to ashes
Our brains exposed and soaked in madness
Decrepit flesh, hangs in patches
Boiling skin, paints our faces
We seek refuge in darkened places
When the siren sounds, we go back under
We are, the sons of thunder
Human dust, our skin is flaking
Flesh slumps off, our bones are shaking
Beating heart, ribs pulled asunder
We are the sons of thunder
We look un-dead but still alive
Stare into unblinking eyes
We're food for insects, they're breeding flies
Maggots fall, from between her thighs
Smoke hangs low in poisoned skies
Devastation will feed us lies
We survived as we went under
We are the sons of thunder
Procreating deformed children
We inbreed our own species
Man is game and man is hunter
We are the sons of thunder

Journey of the Convicted
04:02
|

Now I know what my life has become
Blood rains down from a blackened sun
Lies will spill, truth will stay
Deep within
Night after night I am growing this discomfort
Infecting my victims I am lost and branded
They don't know about me, they don't know where I stand
Beaten and blistered, influence the wrath of
Rage will only build up
I don't want I don't need
All of your resentments
I can stab right through you
Push the blade right through your chest
Convicted
Night after night, I am fighting this resentment
You'll leave this place behind
But here, I'm stranded
Anger or sympathy, resides inside of me
To you I will now give
The dread of my pleasure
Rage will only build up
I don't want I don't need
All of your resentments
I can stab right through you
Push the blade right through your chest
Convicted

Helmethead
01:56
|

Tear canisters and the pepper spray
Shotgun shells and the gas grenades
Armored trucks and the bullet proof vests
Helmet on his head and a badge on his chest
He's out for war, better know your rights
Disgust in his heart, combat boots laced tight
Better bite the curb you're under arrest
Cuffs on your wrists or a shell to your chest
*Helmethead*
He's fueled by fear and prays on the weak
Thunderous lies in the words that he speaks
He's a merchant of death and business is great
A valuable pawn in the grand police state
*Helmethead*
*Helmethead*
*Helmethead*
*Helmethead*
He's fueled by fear and prays on the weak
Thunderous lies in the words that he speaks
He's a merchant of death and business is great
A valuable pawn in the grand police state
You owe him pain time to pay your debts
A bigger risk of violence than a terrorist threat
A wolf among sheep a hidden thorn in the mud
Helmethead's the law and the wage is paid in blood
He's out for war, better know your rights
Disgust in his heart, combat boots laced tight
Better bite the curb you're under arrest
Cuffs on your wrists or a shell to your chest

Messengers

Aftermath of all our progress, and we ate up the lies.
Society regresses, we are fucking hypnotized.
Another fixed election, incoming genocide.
Hundreds watching, while millions more starve tonight.
No one has learned, mistakes made so that all can see.
History repeats another broken ideology.
Shattered country united in the wake of tragedy.
Separation, racial tension, our countries blasphemy.
Don't claim to be proud of what you've become,
your country as a whole.
Because freedom isn't freedom if your back's against a wall.
Stand tall. Revolt. Undermine them all.
You're has no value, you simply do as your told.
Equality was the foundation, but slavery is what were sold.
Broken dreams of emancipation, thrown out in this dying generation.
Any form of civil justice has no true retention
Profiteering puppeteers pulling strings in all directions.
Just more victims of good intentions.
Forced labor of the poor built this nation.
But the rules were never stated.
By the same labors, the fascistic powers will be overtaken.
Don't claim to be proud of what you've become,
your country as a whole.
Because freedom isn't freedom if your back's against a wall.
Stand tall. Revolt. Undermine them all.
You're has no value, you simply do as your told.
Equality was the foundation, but slavery is what were sold.
Broken dreams of emancipation, thrown out in this dying generation.
Any form of civil justice has no true retention
It's stayed the same, through years without growth nothings changed.
Were taught to always point the finger, no second thought of whose to blame
But these ways can't last forever.
This country can't hide it's shame.
Lady Liberty weeps alone, as her country digs it's fucking grave
The system was never broken. It was built this way.

In the Name Of
04:57

Hang up your crown of thorns
Take a step down from your throne
The prophecy begins to unfold
Set to fail is all we know
Call upon the serpent beast
Who brings the plagues of wrath and disease
The one who brings the toads and bees
The one who makes the cycle complete
Bugs and lice will haunt the town
Thunder clouds that hammer down
The ground shakes from deep below
Bringing fear of thee unknown
Messiah speaks of divine knowledge
When the rapture comes how will you plead?
The seventh horseman, the pale rider
The final trumpet greets the hour
Why let this lesson fool you
Why let one man control your doom?
The history of myth and legend
To be chiseled on your tomb
There is no salvation in fiction
There is no peace in conviction
I'll never understand how one book
can have such a hold on you
A prophecy of death and fortune
Spoken by the men of holy treason
They loot and steal the ripest fruit
Taking all that's left of you
Manipulate the growing weak
and teach them not to hear or speak
A test of faith hangs with your father
But most will choose the silver dollar
In The Name
