Intro

|
We live in times of fear and doubt. Upon this fear, manipulation is established. Your every action is controlled. Just open your eyes and take a look around you. You have to realise that you're just a cog in the wheel. And it all finally concludes down, to a neverending lie.

Neverending Lies
03:28
|
|||
|
Someone has to ask the questions,
what's the reason we are here?
Why do people starve,
why do we live in fear?
Someone has to provide the answers,
someone has to stop the lies.
The dominant must become the victim,
someone must pay the price.
Someone has to ask the questions,
why our skin color makes us fight?
Why people march to war?
Why might makes right?
None will provide the answers,
no one will stop the lies.
The dominant still abuses the victim,
and we will pay the price
We have to open our minds.
See the truths that lie before our eyes.
Gain strength through unity,
breach the wall of neverending lies.
Someone has to ask the questions,
what's the reason we are here?
Why do people starve,
why do we live in fear?
None will provide the answers,
no one will stop the lies.
The dominant still abuses the victim,
and we will pay the price...

Liberty Denied
03:35
|
|||
|
Greedy powers dominate,
the fate of hunman life.
They hide their malevolence,
behind a fake smile.
Corruption is reality,
and justice just a lie.
Anguish and suffering,
the future for manind.
Using the frail democracy,
acquiring control.
Global domination,
their ultimate goal.
Hypocrisy and the media,
their powerful allies.
Manipulation of the mass,
despite our cries.
The passion for liberty,
the ultimate crime.
Their lies that are poisoning,
a burden on our spine.
Using the frail democracy,
acquiring control.
Global domination,
their ultimate goal.
Liberty Denied.
Denied...

Innocent Blood
03:40
|
|||
|
Born in this world,
opened your eyes unsullied and innocent.
Made to believe,
every truth they forced upon you.
Inside your box,
fears and desires looming over.
Cutting bone deep,
distorting what you call reality.
Innocent blood,
oils the machine of hate.
Spilled out of greed,
conquers all that we made.
You walked alone,
been taught to pave your path in blood.
A path that stinks.
A path that was never your own.
Now you grew up,
and still you hide behind the mask.
Just look around.
You're just a cog in the wheel.
Innocent blood,
oils the machine of hate.
Spilled out of greed,
conquers all that we made.
A wheel that spins.
A wheel that bleeds us out.
In isolation.
Your life, its motivation.

Hollow Point
03:16
|
|||
|
The kiss of metal against your lips,
an empty eye looking into your soul.
Each second makes your finger itch,
a slight effort the end of all.
Your failures have piled up,
reached the limit of perseverance.
No way out, no escape,
left only with your blind existence.
How did it come to this?
An empty throne atop your ruin.
Decisions that bled your soul,
forcing your life to mooring.
Parents and teachers fed you lies,
prepared you for society's path.
And from the sky an "eye" is watching,
a "sinner can't escape its wrath".
A needle was your best friend
when all your friends pulled away.
An empty bottle comforts you,
watching your life decay.
How did it come to this?
An empty throne atop your ruin.
Decisions that bled your soul,
forcing your life to mooring.
An empty bottle and a gun,
a clouded mind of determination.
A hollow point in the chamber,
waiting your exclamation.

Reprisal
03:23
|

|
Another day, another "dishonor".
In a world that we don't own, no.
"Betrayal" and manipulation,
setting fire in this "nation".
How long will we be used?
Standing dazed and confused?
For how long will we live the lie?
In our streets people die.
Reprisal - No standing back
Reprisal - Do not step aside
Reprisal - FIght for your rights
Reprisal - Do not live the lie
Government has played its part.
Our own minds they thwart.
Living in severe depression,
having lost all expectation.
For how long will we tolerate,
them destroying what we create?
For how long we'll remain silent?
It's time to take the fight to them.
Reprisal - No standing back
Reprisal - Do not step aside
Reprisal - FIght for your rights
Reprisal - Do not live the lie
Reprisal - Do not live the lie

Condemnation
03:29
|
|||
|
Your prayers reach empty ears.
No paradise is awaiting for you.
In this grave we live together,
and this grave is what is true.
You stopped questioning your existence,
found comfort in god's embrace.
Your faith unique as you are told,
superior to any race.
Death starvation war and grief,
almighty god let's children suffer.
Pretending to be good for the afterlife,
your immorality demands refundment.
The priests get richer as we speak,
system's loophole of control.
They fill your mind with words of trust
till you surrender to the lies you're told.
Though god is merciful , no mercy for you.
They bleed you out through this lie.
Faith, the façade of population control,
another rotting corpse when you die.
Death starvation war and grief,
almighty god let's children suffer.
Pretending to be good for the afterlife,
your immorality demands refundment.
They bleed you out through this lie.
Another rotting corpse when you die.
They bleed you out through this lie.
Another rotting corpse when you die.
Your immorality demands refundment.

Pernicious Deed
03:07
|
|||
|
State your price and move on,
sacrifice your freedom in exchange for safety.
You end up being worthy of neither,
just another nameless property.
The youth remain uneducated,
easily manipulated.
Distorted minds, distorted truths
upon this hell that "god" created.
You cannot change your past,
but you can change your future.
Draw strength from your heart,
never too late to realise what you've become.
What you've become.
What you've become.
The hand that fed you bites you now.
Your quest for happines just a mislead.
Your own reality force fed lies.
A victim of this pernicious deed.
You have to change who you are,
you have to change the world around you.
Draw strength from your heart
and break the shackles that now bind you.
You cannot change your past,
but you can change your future.
Draw strength from your heart,
never too late to realise what you've become.
What you've become.
What you've become.
You have to change who you are,
you have to change the world around you.
Draw strength from your heart
and break the shackles that now bind you.

Victimised
03:28

|
When I was a kid, my eyes could see
the world as a better place.
Now I grew up, my dreams collapsed
and saw its ugly face.
Go to school then get a job
but always pay your bills.
Government and the politicians
will save you from all ills.
Victim - of a thousand lies
Victim - of unspoken truths
Victim - with unanswered whys
Victim - over and over again
My days in grief, I was never the one
to live a better day.
Always misled, always betrayed
been left there in dismay.
My hopes have vanished, my dreams decayed
I've always been alone.
Society raised me and erased me
and made a mindless drone.
Victim - of a thousand lies
Victim - of unspoken truths
Victim - with unanswered whys
Victim - over and over again
Victimised...
