Now my dark eyes never seen so clear
to look beyond everything you fear
Connect the past to a present you hate
You just shake your fucking head and walk away
I'm the one who still believes there's
something left deep inside you
there's no hope in an unclenched fist
there's no end when you believe in this
still beating, still burning
Against the tide turning
still beating, still burning
Fan the flame, stake your claim
Open your eyes we’re one in the same
Still Burning
Fan The Flame
Hearing voices in your head
Feeling tightness in the chest
A chip on your shoulder and the smile hid the rest
you can’t cope, no you can’t feel
we got to know some pain to show we’re still here
there’s no hope in an unclenched fist
there’s no end when you believe in this
still beating
still burning

Growing up with our eyes spread wide
So we can look across the spectrum of shades
When the sand turns into stone
we see the world’s black and white become grey
Holding onto all my values
Letting go of all I’ve been through
Innocence is lost to greed
and the sweet becomes
a bitter taste
Friendship grown from chemistry
Now rivals in a constant race
Holding onto all my values
Letting go of all I’ve been through
The last repentance
Burning in the flames
Those who cross me will remember my name
Sinking my teeth
Into life and death
Ripping the flesh from my former self
As long as blood's still flowing red
I still need your words in my head
Waking life has no cure for spite
I want to stay asleep with my teeth clenched tight
And I’ll never wake up from a dream
Where the road always leads
To the promise of peace and a slate wiped clean
Keeping up on my history
Hanging from the family tree
As long as blood's still flowing red
I Still need your words in my head

Dead men tell no tales
But their graves still carry weight
There’s a war coming
Fought by those who spit on fate
Tired hungry masses
Sick of empty dinner plates
There’s a war coming
Fought by those with a bitter taste
No more “fall in line”
No more "know your place"
Growing to see
A world that's ripe to take
Storm the bastille
riot the draft
Easter Rebellion
taken and never asked
When our eyes are blind
and our noses turned
the displaced rise up to take
what we never earned
Fearing revolution
Can you feel your death grip loosen?
Fearing revolution
Your TV’s showing all the
Restlessness
Bitterness
Catalysts
Vehemence
Fearing revolution
They got their trigger fingers moving
Oppression’s common theme
The silent finally scream
The threat of oncoming war
Fought by those who spit on fate

Free of the “I” and “Mine”
Ready to finally see
severing everything keeping me
under lock and key
when we cease to exist
our mind is truly free
Bypassing the social hierarchy
This is what i need
to take the pressure off of me
Awakening
to break the chained reality
Awakening
Ignite this fire inside of me
Awakening
Light Is cast on shadows of doubt
Tighten the vice, sharpen the knife
consciousness
The escape from which we kill
We are the dogs that can’t be trained
Progression through
breaking yourself

What’s it going to take to fucking change
If these habits are ingrained?
When everything comes apart gradually
We ignore what comes to us naturally
If you don't know what the product is
The product is you
If you don't know where the money is
The profit's growing huge
Punishment
'Cause we’re just a zero on the page
In a book that tells the story of our fate
Punishment against
Exploitation
the human err
Exploitation
Why we fail
Punishment
Enduring punishment

Placing your blame on the other
And Pointing fingers for your struggles
playing the victim
complicit system
The evil eye
cast from your white gaze
Is too blind to see, the house of esteem
Was built on the backs of slaves
No purity
Just inequality
A false story of pride
A coward’s tale
From the mouth of those
Who watched their dreams all fail
Those values that you preach don’t apply to yourself
Playing the victim, complicit system
turn your back just like everybody else
No purity
Just inequality
The fear
in those who hold everything
Begins when power slips
From their hands

Filling up from empty ‘til the tank is replete
Fueling tension inside from the years of deceit
Got to find the purpose of the strain in the seams
'Cause we focus on a moment but our life’s in between
Think you should die for
Obsessiveness to strive for
The future’s just the present
with a mask over the eyesore
not another second searching for redemption
If i pray to your god
would you forgive my mistakes
If i accepted your love
would you remember my face
Even the Sharpest Sword
Will eventually rust
Even the dullest blade
Can make the deepest cut
Look at the faces of those
that were entrusted to me
Feeling the weight of the world
to hold the strength of your beliefs
Relentless drive towards singular focus
Reject the mantras of
the beaten and hopeless
Even the Sharpest Sword
Will eventually rust
Even the dullest blade
Can make the deepest cut
If I pray to your god
Would you forgive my mistakes
If i accepted your love
Would you remember my face
Scars line up like steps to climb
You sew up yours I’ll sew up mine
Scale the wall of our regrets
Marching forward to the death

Taste the steel from the barrel of hate
Feel the power in the grip of rage
No one's coming for you in the night
No one's coming looking for a fight
Don’t you feel like a man
With the power by your side
You’ll right the wrongs
You’ll pave the cracks
You’ll fix the seal
For the coming attack
Aren’t you tired of watching your back?
A choice to do nothing is a vote for yes
A choice to do nothing is a vote for death
Sell Your Cause
Branding your own chest
with battle scars
You’ll right the wrongs
You’ll pave the cracks
You’ll fix the seal
For the coming attack
Sell Your cause
Branding your own chest
with battle scars

Heads stuck in the sand
But their hands are raised
Praying for the glory days
With convictions strong and knowledge weak
shouting down about your beliefs
Turn your head away when question’s asked
to defend yourself from the proven facts
And set your brain to shit when it doesn’t fit
In the box you’ve made for your new Eden
Suffering leads to
frustration and fear through
media issued
panic stricken world view
And what you think
Ain’t what it is
So face it
Sheltered life fed on lies
it's the knowledge you despise
cowardice, censorship
your brain can’t even fathom it
Evolution gives a voice to what’s suppressed
The myth of our fathers is the cause of our unrest

Got a thousand mile stare
looking back
I remember what it’s like
to walk the tracks
'Cause we go off course
and we lose our way
But it’s a bright white light
at the end of the day
Gain a year, lose some hope
Got a lump in my throat
Stay up or sink below
A frozen brain can paralyze the truth
Melt it ‘til the soul starts leaking through
Handshakes drop and calls go missed
See you soon’s turn to “meant to give’s”
Conversation with familiar sounds
You just like letting me know
you’re still around
I’m still around
Get yourself on a higher level
break the plane and i’m with you
whenever
Get yourself on a higher level
Break the plane and i’m with you
forever
I watch the ones I love
In their search for peace
They can’t understand
What they were meant to achieve
I watch the ones I love
In their search for peace
Why can’t you understand
You got everything
