It appears that we have reached the Edge, that zenith where stimuli and comatose collide.
Forty years ago, The Man proclaimed the Age of the Gross to be upon us, and even though the
Man was destroying our heritage and insulting our intelligence,
That era has become very real.
We labor for pleasure and abhor the guilt of pressure.
My generation will go down as the architects of contemporary disgust.
Some have fought and died.
Others have allowed the strong to be butchered for a price they themselves don't care about
And will never understand.
I myself am beleaguered by the selfish face of a kind of man that is Not mankind.
Distrust in information.
Fundamentalism of opinion.
Catastrophic boredom, and a fanatical devotion to that which does not matter.
Where is your glory now, people?
Where are your gods and politicians?
Where is your shame and salvation?
You Rage For No Reason Because You Have No Reason.

What have you ever fought for?
What have you ever bled for?
The face of the earth is scared with the walking dead.
The age of the gross is a living virus.
This is the future you have created.
This is the world you have set ablaze.
All your lies are coming true.
All Freedom Is Lost.
All Hope Is Gone.

12/08/73
That was all I got and now you got me
All I ever really wanted was to take the blame
I will go down in history and not down in flames

Meningitis, I will survive this
Dry Sockets and a Schizophrenic Crisis
The Time of The Nine has begun
Get out of the way or you will suffer as one

This is so typical, Apocalyptical
Hanging on abysmal release, Jesus
I don't need this/Don't wanna be this
Icon in the Making/My hands are fucking shaking

What if God doesn't care?
What if God doesn't care?

Remember/Surrender
The Time is Now
Continue, we're in you
And we will burn your cities down

America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left, nothing's real

Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down

What if God doesn't care?
What if God doesn't care?

America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left, nothing's real

Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down

Down...

We will burn your cities down
We will burn your cities down
We will burn your cities down

Feed the Hungry- Feed them shit
Feed them Bones and Politics
You wanna revolutionize?
Be specific and believe your eyes

Start a war in another backyard
And we'll destroy your house of cards
Give me a minute and I'll change your mind
Give me a bullet and I'll change your life

Remember/Surrender
The Time is Now
Continue, we're in you
And we will burn your cities down

America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left, nothing's real

Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down

Down...
Down...
We will burn your cities down

Down...
Down...
We will burn your cities down

America... what if 'God' doesn't care?
What if 'God' doesn't care?

My guilt and my shame
Always sell me short, always feel the same
And my face and My Soul
Always wear me thin always under control

But the longest hours you'll have in your life
Are the ones you sit through to know if you're right
So I'll wait, but I'll pray that I'm wrong
Because I think I know what's going on

So let me get this straight, the only will is my own
I do whatever I want and stay alone
All my decisions make it
Untouchable and tainted

I'm gonna suffer for the rest of my life
But I will always find a way to survive
I'm not a failure, but I know what it's like
I can take it or leave it... or die

Stay, you don't always know where you stand
'Til you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
Like breathing in sulfur

My Life is undone
I'm a sinner to most but a sage to some
And my Gods are Untrue
I'm probably wrong, but I'm better than you

And the longest hours I've had in my life
Were the ones I went through to know I was right
So I'm safe, but I'm a little outside
I'm gonna laugh when I'm buried alive

Stay, you don't always know where you stand
'Til you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
Like breathing in sulfur

Like breathing in sulfur
Like breathing in sulfur

Stay, you don't always know where you stand
Till you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
Like breathing in sulfur

Stay, you don't always know where you stand
You don't always know where you stand
Till you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
There's something inside me that feels
Like breathing in sulfur

Like breathing in sulfur
Like breathing in sulfur
Like breathing in sulfur
Like breathing in sulfur

Like breathing in sulfur

I did my time, and I want out!
So effusive...
Fade!
It doesn't cut, this soul is not so vibrant.
The reckoning, the sickening.
Packaging subversion.
Pseudo-sacrosanct perversion.
Go drill your deserts, go dig your graves!
Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save.
Sinking in, getting smaller again.
I'm done! It has begun, I'm not the only one!

And the rain will kill us all.
We throw ourselves against the wall.
But no-one else can see.
The preservation of the martyr in me.

Psychosocial, Psychosocial, Psychosocial.
Psychosocial, Psychosocial, Psychosocial.

There are cracks in the road we laid.
But where the temple fell, the secrets have gone mad.
This is nothing new, but when we killed it all,
The hate was all we had!
Who needs another mess, we could start over.
Just look me in the eyes and say I'm wrong!
Now there's only emptiness, venomous-insepid.
I think we're done, I'm not the only one!

And the rain will kill us all.
We throw ourselves against the wall.
But no-one else can see.
The preservation of the martyr in me.

Psychosocial, Psychosocial, Psychosocial.
Psychosocial, Psychosocial, Psychosocial.

The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!

Fake anti-facist lie, (Psychosocial)
I've tried to tell you, but (Psychosocial)
Your purple hearts are giving out. (Psychosocial)
Can't stop a killing idea. (Psychosocial)
If it's hunting season. (Psychosocial)
Is this what you want? (Psychosocial)
I'm not the only one!

And the rain will kill us all.
We throw ourselves against the wall.
But no-one else can see.
The preservation of the martyr in me.

And the rain will kill us all.
We throw ourselves against the wall.
But no-one else can see.
The preservation of the martyr in me.

The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!

Sitting in the dark I can't forget
Even now, I realize the time I'll never get
Another story of the bitter pills of fate
I can't go back again, I can't go back again

But you asked me to love you and I did
Traded my emotions for a contract to commit
And when I got away I only got so far
The other me is dead. I hear his voice inside my head

We were never alive
And we won't be born again
But I will never survive
With dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart

You told me to love you and I did
Tied my soul into a knot and got me to submit
So when I got away, I only kept my scars
The other me is gone. Now I don't know where I belong

We were never alive
And we won't be born again
But I'll never survive
With dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart

Dead visions in your name
Dead fingers in my veins

Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart

I know my uses/I have my pride
But my heart is still untamed
I learned my lessons/I've conquered Death
I go on and I'm unashamed

I'll paint your bones to match my eyes
They're the darkest I have ever seen
Until I'm lucid, I can't be told
I know my voices, they tell me to believe

Another fucking accident out of control
All the attitudes will never change
My Imitations are leading the way
I can't accept that, I still don't find this strange

In light of my ability to feel denial
I walk away from everything with just a smile
The Agony of Coming Home has gone away
It's Everywhere/It's Everyone/It's Every Day

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Are you ready for the time of your life?
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Are you ready for the time of your life?

I beg your pardon/I'm out of the way
A new conspiracy has taken my place
So over and over, I smell the decay
Believe what you want to- The Cycle Stays The Same

In light of my ability to undermine
I walk from apathy- I'm feeling fine
The Agony of Cynicism beckons me
It's Everywhere/It's Everyone/It's Everything

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Are you ready for the time of your life?
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Are you ready for the time of your life?

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Are you ready for the time of your life?

Are you ready for the time of your life?

Contrite- Commercial- Arrogance- Leprosy
Consume The Bitch- The Fucker- Mindless- Like A Child
For Pity's Sake- I've Had All That I Can Take
We Try- But In The End We'll See
There Are No More Codes
Only Who Is Shit/And Who's Still Free

I was gonna change the world with honor and aggression
No one listened- no one cared
All they saw was misdirection

(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again
(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again
(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again
(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again

I don't want you anymore
I don't want you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore

Fingerprint of God/Your new religions covet
This vessel wasn't built to last
But I will live forever/you'll never have to say surrender
Because you're so part of it

My total honesty has no place for Tomorrow
Guilty pleasures give me pain
Tell my people I can't follow

(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again
(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again
(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again
(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again

You'll never censor me/You'd better cherish me
My reason has a voice/Freedom's gone but we'll always have a choice
My present future tense/It doesn't make much sense
I'm coming after you/fuck you all I'm the only point of view

Violence and Dollar Signs/Another processed piece of shit
You hide your fault in diamonds and give away the only cost
You can't delay the inevitable
Lost - don't understand the incredible path
I'm losing ground- but I won't care when I go down

(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again
(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again
(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again
(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again

(Go ahead and disagree) I'm giving up again

I'm giving up again
I'm giving up again

Do you Believe? Do you Fade like a Dream?
Let me hear you breathe
Let me watch as you sleep
The Sparrow's Eyes... Promises shift into judgments
I cannot deny that you were designed for my punishments

The Blood and The Body
Control the cut so it's seamless
Show me your Heart
Show me the way to complete this

Thethered to a scene I treasure. Can you help me?
I sever god, it's perfect, it's never really perfect
Now... I can finally be myself
'Cause I don't want to be myself

Free my severed heart, give me you, I want it
(I don't want to be myself)
Free my severed heart, give me you, I want it
(I don't want to be myself)
Free my severed heart, give me you, I want it
(I don't want to be myself)
Free my severed heart, give me you, I want it
(I don't want to be myself)

I cannot maintain
A semblance of normal anymore
I'd rather feel pain
Than try to fit in with you anymore

I'll throw it all away
Like everybody else
I can finally be myself
'Cause I don't want to be myself

Free my severed heart, give me you, I want it
(I don't want to be myself)
Free my severed heart, give me you, I want it
(I don't want to be myself)
Free my severed heart, give me you, I want it
(I don't want to be myself)
Free my severed heart, give me you, I want it
(I don't want to be myself)

Free my severed heart, give me you, I want it
(I don't want to be myself)
Free my severed heart, give me you, I want it
(I don't want to be myself)
Free my severed heart, give me you, I want it
(I don't want to be myself)
Free my severed heart, give me you, I want it
(I don't want to be myself)

Mother Nature is a coward (Mother Nature is a Whore)
No More Presence, no More Power (I pray for death by the hour)
Cut Another Smile into me (Into me is All You Are)
My Artifice won't recognize Me (You won't find me) anymore

Post-Traumatic War Machines
The Pessimists still won't believe
Throw away my past mistakes
It's all I can to feel

Let my weapons be your children
Let my armies be your damned
Try to suffer on in silence
Try to stop me if you can

Pneumatic destroyer
Pathetic seducer
Distortion sufficient
Someday, one day, we'll live our lives again

My Ghosts Have Found Their Way Back Home
I have every right to kill my own (I have every right to kill my own)
I am something now that never could exist
My Anguish Conquers All/Pay The Price And Watch Me Fall
My Only Key Is Broken- My Broken Key Is Only... me

Pneumatic destroyer
Pathetic seducer
Distortion sufficient
Someday, one day, we'll live our lives again

You utter waste of tired flesh
It doesn't matter if you can't progress
Even now they still create me
Give me your ignorance/irritate me

I am made of the same debris
You want it all but you didn't want me
Hypocrite with no real use
I'm alive. What's your excuse?

Pneumatic destroyer
Pathetic seducer
Distortion sufficient
Someday, one day, we'll live our lives again

Pneumatic destroyer
Pathetic seducer
Distortion sufficient
Someday, one day, we'll live our lives again

We'll live our lives again

"Thou shalt not"

Kill your Fathers- Destroy another Life
Question everything we clung to for years
Live Forever- Design a Better Death
Confuse a liar with a savior from fear

Create a Myth and Separate the Chosen Ones
Adolescent Independence/Dominion
I only wanna believe in fuckin' anything
But now my conscience is contradicting everything

The ending's the same
The world will not change
The answer is clear

Tell your Mothers they have no Sons or Daughters
Blame yourselves because your Children are Mine
We are Orphans, but we are not Forgotten
And we will find a way to save us this time

We can run, but we are tired of running
We're dropping seconds in a glass till we die
We only wanna believe in fuckin' everything
But we're alive and we're not accepting anything

The ending's the same
The world will not change
The answer is clear
Annihilation

I won't control or restrain things I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger, better
They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger, better, more

We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves

Oh, I will never become another piece
Inside the Paralytic Construct I hate
Live Forever? Well, I would rather die
At least I'd know I wasn't theirs to create

This is yours, but you had better choose
Before they take away your right to decide
I guess I'll never believe in fuckin' anything
But my solace is I can handle everything

The ending's the same
The world will not change
The answer is clear
Obliteration

I won't control or restrain things I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger, better
They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger, better

I won't control or restrain things I do not understand
Now I realize I'm stronger, better
They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
Now I realize I'm stronger, better, more

We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves
We have to save ourselves

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

So if you love me, let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there

Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone, I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
My smile was taken long ago
If I can change, I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your light
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not hear
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?

I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
My own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself

And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
My love was punished long ago
If you still care, don't ever let me know
If you still care, don't ever let me know

The state of the nation - violation!
A broken promise is as good as a lie.
The hell is humongous, the Devil's among us
And we will burn because we won't unite!

We won't witness anymore freedom.
What does anybody do with freedom?
I would rather fight, than let another die.
We're the problem, but we're also the solution.

All Hope Is Gone!

If you want you cannot take it from me.
If you think you can, you still don't know me.
Let me tell you, when I said it, I meant it
And I will always have the right to defend it.

Fifty seconds, a hundred minutes.
The bill of rights is a bill of sale.
What will you do when the war is over?
What will you do when your system fails!?

We have made the present -obsolete.
What do you want?
What do you need?
We'll find a way,
When all hope is gone!
We've seen the fall of the elite.
Bury your life,
Sink your disease.
We'll end the world,
When all hope is gone!

The wretched are the wounded,
The hungry starved to death.
At a place where no-one goes,
The air itself is a final breathe.
So discontinue,
The antisceptic cash charade.
As the cry of justice comes,
I'm gonna let this fire free!

I am the reason your future suffers.
I am the hatred you won't embrace.
I am the worm of a pure distinction.
I am the remedy, spit in my face!
All your lies and wars are out-dated.
All your subjects are dulling mind games.
I can let all of another million reasons why,
But doesn't matter when the only thing will never die!

Child of Burning Time
Child of Burning Time

My only consolation is a lie
The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight
Winter hasn't ended and it always looks like rain
I can't remember anything (anything)

Inside the Absolution, we succumb
And appetites are bittersweet, I think I'm going numb
A chance to give up avarice has marked my one regret
The Child of Burning Time is gone
He hasn't come back yet...

Before I tell my story, please consider who I am
I missed my window years ago, I'm doing all I can
A tragedy is commonplace, but in the end they go away
My skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in shame

I cut my name into my Heart
I'll Tear It All Apart
I beg you

Burn me away
I won't become your hero just to fight the life I save
Burn me away
I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today

I burn away
I burn away
I burn away
I burn away

My isolation is my course
The effect it has on life itself is a cancer on its source
I rue the moments spent between the fetish and the flame
Until this war is over I won't ever lose my rage

I cut my name into my Soul
I guess I'll never know
I beg you

Burn me away
I won't become your hero just to fight the life I save
Burn me away
I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today
Burn me away
I won't become your hero just to fight the life I save
Burn me away
I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all, lose it all today

She seems dressed in all of me
Stretched across my shame
All the torment and the pain
leak through and covered me
I'd do anything ever to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad

She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable
Shes a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
And I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad

But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me (x 3)

I catch in my throat
Choke
Torn into pieces
I won't... nope
I don't want to be this

But I won't let this build up inside of me
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
(Won't let this build up inside of me)

(Sheee)
She isn't real
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
I can't make her real
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
She isn't real
(Won't let this build up inside of me)
I can't make her real
(Won't let this build up inside of me)

My friends are all hurting, from moments and regrets
And charity laced with a lie
And still we keep hoping to fix all the defects
And strengthen these seminal ties

We go on together for better or worse
Our history is too real to hate
Now and forever, we stay until morning
And promise to fight for our fates

'Til we die
'Til we die

The start of the journey is every bit worth it
I cant let you down anymore
The sky is still clearing, we're never afraid
And the consequence opens the door

I never stopped trying, I've never stopped feeling
Like family is much more than blood
Don't go on without me
The piece that I represent compliments each and everyone

'Til we die
'Til we die
We won't be forgotten, we'll never give in
This war we've achieved has allowed us to win

'Til we die
'Til we die

My last true confession will open your eyes
I've never known trust like the 9
Let it be spoken, let it be screamed
They'll never, ever take us alive

'Til we die
'Til we die
We won't be forgotten, we'll never give in
This war we've achieved has allowed us to win

Carry On
Carry On

We'll never be broken, we won't be denied
Our war is the pressure, we need to unite
We'll never be broken, we won't be denied
Our war is the pressure, we need to unite

'Til we die
'Til we die
We won't be forgotten, we'll never give in
This war we've achieved has allowed us to win

Carry On
Carry On
We'll never be broken, we won't be denied
Our war is the pressure, we need to unite

'Til we die
'Til we die
'Til we die
'Til we die
We won't be forgotten, we'll never give in
This war we've achieved has allowed us to win

'Til we die
'Til we die
We'll never be broken, we won't be denied
Our war is the pressure, we need to unite
