Frailty 06:05
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 Humanity Society Epitome Frailty

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 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?

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

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 04:57
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.

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
