The truth will remain
What always is the truth and it is plain to see
For change to begin
We must cast off our chains of oppression
The future begins
When we rise from this cell of repression
Think for yourself
Yourself you retain
Cast off the lies
The truth will remain
EMPIRE OF BONE
Hail to the empire
That is built upon the bone
Of third world mothers' children
And forests turned to stone
Hail to the empire
That turns the sky to gray
Hail to the empire
That turns mankind to slaves
That leaves its filthy epitaph
Upon the planets graves
Hail to the empire’s
Hostile diplomacy
AT THE END OF DAYS
As we embrace extinction
With arms of ignorance
The skeleton of reason
Lies cold within the ash
And innocence has fallen
To the age of parracide
As the infant consumes the mother
In its arrogance and pride
When the bounty of the harvest
Becomes poisoned through the blood
The final feast will then begin
And the end of days will come
A DISEASE CALLED MAN
We consume ourselves
Like a plague upon the earth
Unaware that time
Of life is ready set
Feasting on the host
With endless appetite
Devotion to our greed - Drains the source of life
Feeding on the host - Like a noble parasite
There is cancer in the womb
A disease that is called man
Gorging on the blood
That feeds the pulse of life
Devotion to our greed - Drains the host of life
Feeding off the world - We are the parasite
SCREAM AT THE WALL
Scream at the wall
Tear it down
Break it down
Recreate!
Steadfast the fight
A war of wills
Scream at the wall -Tear it down!
Take back the day
A revolution
Evolution
Of the mind
Take back control
Of your life
Scream at the wall -Tear it down!
AWAKEN SLEEPER
We live life
With a veil before our eyes
Lulled into a sleep
That we induce ourselves
Illusion of utopia
We turn away from truth
This blanket of convenience
It will become our shroud
The time has come
To cast away the dream
Awaken now the sleeper
To cold reality
Recognize the truth
Bitter as it be
If we're to face the future
Our eyes must begin to see
Awaken now sleeper and rise Awaken now sleeper and stand up
See through the illusion and lies Awaken now sleeper and rise
Awaken now sleeper and rise Awaken now sleeper and stand up
Take back control of your life Awaken now sleeper and rise
