Grey Lines
03:17
|
|||
|
The creatures outside are breathing, a wonder to be alive
(But) circumstances failed you, now you’ve a date with the knife
I see so much of your life parallels with mine
A burden to be crossing (these) grey lines
It all seems so familiar but my focus is on the fall
When your stuck in the middle or with your back to the wall
Any person whos tells you they’re life is nothing more than a game
Know your own existence is one in the same
Now to spoil the party with our own complacency
When you look in the mirror can you not see the duality
When you look at your own life, nothing more than shadows on the wall
Separate in its own interests, the freedom before the fall
Separate. cut it up. left with shadows on the wall
(It all) seems so familiar but my focus is on the fate
When your stuck in the middle with all of the decisions that you’ve made
Any person who tells you they’re life is nothing more than a game
Know your own existence is simply one in the same
Separate. cut it up. left with shadows on the wall
The creatures outside are bleeding, for reasons i wonder why
(But) circumstances failed you (now) today is a good day to die
I see so much of your life parallels with mine
A burden to be crossing grey lines

Modus Operandi
05:00
|
|||
|
Bring the world together, only to tear it apart
Document the moment, thought it’d make great art
Testify to no one, the message is so clear
The ones you choose to lead you are the ones that you should fear
Impetus for a new light
Something more than a flat line
Sacrifice for those that you love
Impetus for a new light
Pacify the people, weakness is the way
Establish your position, place it on display
Now you have a reason, a reason to belong
And the ones who claim to help you never could be wrong
But the devils in the detail, time alone will tell
Sanctioned sounds will fail us, traditions will as well
Now you have a reason, a reason to refuse
Years of the deception and all of the abuse
Impetus…
Someone has misgivings but their reas0n isn’t clear
Grown from their beginnings but the reason wasn’t clear
Life is for the living but the visions never clear
Someone has misgivings but the reason isn’t clear
Bring the world together, only to tear it apart
Document the moment, thought it’d make great art
Testify to no one, the message is so clear
The ones you choose to lead you are the ones that you should fear
Chaos is the future to which we all belong
Those that contradict you never could be wrong…
But they’re always wrong.

Death Of A Nation
03:35
|
|||
|
A mixing of the message, an attempt to manipulate
Division of our senses as divination of hate
As long as they pray to the throne, a hypocritical mind
The impact of our actions will catch up to us in due time
Death of a nation
All this time, a slow asphyxiation
Now its time for complete oblideration
Stand to the state with its slander and its double speak
Language from a leader, insecure, reckless and weak
Echoes of a culture that would slaughter an indigenious race
Echoes of a culture that would dare to put a man in chains
Death of a nation
All this time, a slow asphyxiation
Now its time for us to start again
A moment in time, a world for us all
Equal in mind but they wanted more
Redraw the lines, whats good for the state
Babylon’s rifles shoved in your face
Empty your pockets empty your minds
Follow the script, a new paradigm
See all the signals, the building of walls
While you take a breath, they take it all
Death of a nation
All this time, a slow asphyxiation
Now its time for us to start again

Cult Culture
04:37
|
|||
|
Another appeasement to one with no name
Slip of the tongue they all sound the same
One man’s curse is another man’s creed
Both implied by the lives they lead
Irrelevant face, irreverent mind
When a culture fails to bury their blind
I dance along to the chorus sometimes
Lay in wait on bones so high
Justification at the risk of your life, all held at the tip of a knife
Secrets once held, now secrets revealed, wounds of which will never heal
A passerby blinded by chance, a ritual dance
Or indoctrination at such a young age, never a chance to turn the page
Irrelevant face, irreverent mind
When a culture fails to bury their blind
I pass the time in shine or shine
Lay in waste from the altar wine
Irrelevant face, irreverent mind
When a culture fails to bury their blind
I pass the time in shine or shine
Lay in waste from the altar wine

Shape Shifter
04:56
|
|||
|
Afraid of the future, chained to the past
No more complications, losing breath with every question you ask
Am i right or wrong again?
Moments like lightning, gone before my eyes
I know its oversimplification, but someone tell me when we lost the time?
A setting sun, a waning moon
Lost in an instant, only to find, oh what shape have i become?
Metamorphosis, fading in time, oh what shape have i become?
Living is twisted, living’s a lie
Nothing more than a series of changes only seen with my own eyes
Said it before i’ll say it again
Can’t remove the blood stain

Black Square
04:42
|
|||
|
They gave you a part and you played it well
And they painted a picture of you soaked in blue
Constant fear that constantly reminds
All these things that keep you awake at night
Wave your arm, wave those thoughts away
For fools like us it’s the price that we pay
Remember the artwork on your arm
And the words that they said would come true
The sounds as they echo inside your head
Make a permanent ghost out of you
Constant fear a constant state of mind
All these things that keep you awake at night
Wave your arm, wave those thoughts away
For fools like us it’s the price that we pay

Crooked Smile
03:49
|
|||
|
Such a crooked smile
A scent so feral
In and out of the game
A monument to your own name
Open your eyes
You tend to cling to bones likes prizes
Continue the lies
You tend to cling to bones like prize
Such a crooked line
To feel is such a waste of time
In your putrid hive
A slave to your own mind
Open your eyes
You tend to cling to bones likes prizes
No you can’t decide
You tend to cling to bones like prize

Masks
03:47

I had some time to kill, walked along a quarter of the path
We’re either sheep to shill or the ones who hide behind the masks
Another quarter turn, i left my body, left my heart
I know ill never learn, learn to set myself apart
The seasons are changing and my love for this world is fading away
Had some time to kill, walked another quarter on the path
Looking for a space to fill, a vessel if you had to ask
Another quarter turn, i’ve come full circle to the end
I know ill never learn, ill have to do it all again
The seasons are changing and my heart is constantly breaking…

Lesser Retreat
04:25
|
|||
|
The hills are on fire
The light serves to inspire
Or burn us all alive
Mind turns to survive
All our songs will be sung in time
(You can) see it all around
The young and the dark, old sounds
A lesson learned in time
In darkness you find the light
All our songs will be sung in time
No, we will not recede
We will not retreat

Nonsense
02:47
|
|||
|
My patience’s tested way too thin
Ignorance taunts me at every mile
When did we lose our common sense?
Whatever, whatever it meant
My outrage grows with every scene
Watching the film play out like never before
Each moment worth its weight in filth
I know you’re sick of it
So now it’s time to push forward into the light
With these sordid minds, of humankind
And when it feels you’ve hurt like never before
Leeches wanted more, so shutter the door
And when you think about roses on the divide
Are they dead or alive? and will they survive?
When the news hits you already know
To end this puppet show, because you’re ready to go
My actions take the center stage
Flipping over the b side to hear it all
Take to the streets and let it die
And learn some common sense
