Denounce
04:18
|

Thousands of years have just passed us by
Ignoring the sins of the ones from before
The precursor of anguish
Those who laid the foundation to our agony
Their descendents torment us still
Staking claim while we're losing the game
Giving false hope for what we have left
We must decide to reject all this pain
Denounce the grief
Defy restraint
And reach for the light at the end
There is hope in this world we just need to believe that we're meant to be whole
Turn our face to the rain
Our persistence will denounce the lament
We will never know what is on the other side of death
Not until the time comes and our lungs expel the final breath
So take back what's yours, for it's all we get
One chance to fulfil ourselves
Take in the world with our own set of eyes
Discarding the guidance we long to reject
Denounce the grief
Defy restraint
And reach for the light at the end
There is hope in this world we just need to believe that we're meant to be whole
Turn our face to the rain
Our persistence will denounce the lament
The masses, they gather, united in hate
The hierarchy grins and unleashes the pain
Unleash your pain
Denounce the grief
Unleash your pain
Defy restraint
And reach for the light at the end
Turn our face to the rain
Our persistence will denounce the lament

Don't you see we are playing a game?
Where there are rules for one another generated from fate
We are lost, we are trapped in repitition
Will this illusion ever cease to be?
I've lost all hope for humanity
Our eyes are blind
Our hands are tied
It's fucking time to
Fight, fight
Lift up yourself and
Rise, rise
We are not a lost cause
It's time to live again, see it to the very end
We are liberty
The ones who benefit are starving us to death
They claim to lead us, but the gun's against our heads
A society of blackmail
Was this our purpose from the start?
Restore my hope for humanity.
The gun's against our heads
Our eyes are blind
Our hands are tied
It's time to
Fight, fight
Lift up yourself and
Rise, rise
We are not a lost cause
It's time to live again, see it to the very end
We are liberty
Let's break the fucking chains
We must bring about change
We are liberty
The gun's against our heads, but we are liberty
We are liberty

Holding power within our hands
We consume until our hunger's surpassed
Paying no mind to the devastation
Our corruption has grown into a monstrous form
Did we ever intend this?
Were we always this way, resistant to shame?
Dedicated to the mind of the hive
We will spread and independence will die
Ordered and structured in a world of suffering
Ignore the plight as the noose gets tighter
Our lungs cease to breathe
What a pathetic excuse for a life
Imprisoned in our own minds
Stuck in rotation
There must be more to life
A constant struggle for freedom
It is time to reclaim
Reclaim what is rightfully ours
We walk through the streets, we don't feel the despair
How can we feel a thing when we cannot stand still?
There is no room in this world for hope
There is no room for you
Asleep in a lucid nightmare
Afraid to be awake
What's the point in living this life?
We deserve to fucking die
What a pathetic excuse for a life
Imprisoned in our own minds
Stuck in rotation
There must be more to life
A constant struggle for freedom
It is time to reclaim
Reclaim what is ours

Can't you see within my eyes?
I can barely try to compromise between the weakness and desire to control my life
Wake up, gain momentum
But the world seems to hold me back
My compassion is ever fading
I want to live again
Set this world alight
Carry the burden of what you are
Gather the strength to recover
From this painful obsession in your eyes
This is not worth dying for
This is not worth dying for
This is our chance to feel alive
Is this what we want
A life torn apart?
It makes no sense idolising the ones who claim to be gods
Spewing filth on the innocent
If we decide to stay
Empathy fades away
Never bow our heads in shame
There's no compassion
In a world of grey
Carry the burden of what you are
Gather the strength to recover
From this painful obsession in your eyes
This is not worth dying for
Carry the burden of what we are
Set this world alight

Fire engulfs us
Violence culls us
Every empire falls and now our time has come
As I observe this madness from the confines of isolation
I begin to ask myself
Is there purpose in defiance?
I watch the masses elevate a masochistic patriarch of hate
Who's only aim is to laugh in the face of fate
In our misguidedness
We're ready to fucking rip this world apart
Humanity splits and throws the blame from side to side
What have we done?
Isn't it amazing how we're susceptible to triviality?
Like we're trapped in a dream and the horrors of the world do not exist
Intolerant to empathy
We shy away from doing the right thing
Holding hope in our hearts that everything will be okay
Shall we close our eyes and wish it all away? Instead of taking chances to wake up
Why do we stay?
We believe the lies and deceit based on the hate in our own hearts
I can't believe we got this far
Look at us
We're at the pinnacle
Will we be revered as gods?
When will you realise that you're the perpetrator
Fire engulfs us
Violence culls us
Every empire falls and now our time has come
They poison us with what we fear but do not understand
Weak for words colliding with our insecurities They take advantage so we're easier to segregate
In the name of divide and conquer
And when the end has come
We'll rise up from the ashes
Embracing the heat from the sun
Asking ourselves how did this come to pass?
We believe the lies and deceit based on the hate in our own hearts
I can't believe we got this far
Look at us
We're at the pinnacle
Will we be revered as gods?
When will you realise that you're the perpetrator
Fire engulfs us
Violence culls us
Every empire falls and now our time has come

Solitude
04:32
|

As I wake
As I take a sharp gasp of air my whole body stagnates
Staring into the black of a darkened room
My existence transpires
My whole feeling is numb
I have no more questions
I have no more cause
I no longer desire control
Because everything's lost its worth
Reclusive and tameless
Blocking out all the lights
No more bullshit to see
No chance for progression
Just a small husk of life
Trapped and bound
I don't give a fuck
Why the fuck am I here?
Hermetical instincts
Will I ever find purpose?
Stepping onto the path of pain
Every step I take leads to despair
I don't know where to go
What direction to take
My existence has gone astray
Solitude takes me away
Unresponsive to hands reaching out
The ones who are beckoning and calling my name
Trapped in an ocean
Growing attached to the isolation
Vicious and restless
Get a glimmer of hope
Salvage what's left of me
Drifting out of direction
Maybe only by chance I'll arrive on the shores
Giving in, defeated, no hope for return
How can I exist in a world that's been torn apart?
I don't know where to go
I don't know what direction to take
Stepping onto the path of pain
Every step I take leads to despair
I don't know where to go
What direction to take
My existence has gone astray
Solitude takes me away
As I writhe
As I die
All memory of me has just been left behind
My perception's the same as the darkened room
Welcome to solitude

Trapped, set in your ways
Never compromising
Democracy is just a game
Designed to divide
Designed to displace
Unity asunder
A congregation full of schemers, so depraved
Mocking the poor deluded souls that love and worship them
We will never be free
Unless we throw away our fucked up ideologies
Are we even capable?
Because our minds are full of lies
What's to believe?
Trapped, set in your ways
Never compromising
Democracy is just a game
Designed to divide
Designed to displace
Unity asunder
Do you think you're invulnerable?
Don't you know that your time is limited?
The longer you climb, the harder you fall
It only just takes one idea
To fucking tear you apart
We will throw the remains from the spires of your arrogance
Into the pits of the obscure
You'll be nothing but a memory
We will never be free
Unless we throw away our fucked up ideologies
Are we even capable?
Because our minds are full of lies
What's to believe?
Trapped, set in your ways
Never compromising
Democracy is just a game
Designed to divide
Designed to displace
Unity asunder

Inside A Soul
03:22

Welcome to the promised land
Armoured thick damaged none the less
For a parasite lingers within
Draining her 'til the seas run dry
Burning all 'til the sands collide
The earth will fall at the hands of desire
We are lost inside a soul
The winds, they sing songs of change
Let nature take its course
Exhume us from this world
As they cry:
"Drain all 'til the seas run dry"
"Burn all 'til the sands collide"
Time is wearing thin
The clock ticks as the air thickens
We are lost inside a soul
We've ignored all the warnings
And turned a blind eye
Embracing corruption
Now witness destruction

A world lies in chaos
Brought upon by a selfish regime
For god, for king, for country
I suffer for your supremacy
Now I see the extent of your goals
Getting rid of the filth you look down upon
Worming and writhing and begging for scraps
Your disgust is so blatant to see
Cut the ties to the lifelines they need
Dividing the flock and condemning the weak
And they cannot see the chaos you preach
Your deceit
Im observing a home torn apart
A life with no purpose but suffering and war
I just long to tear out my eyes for the hundreds and thousands who needlessly die
I'm losing the will to go on
I can't stand this world anymore
I suffer for your supremacy
Burning towers, division and fear
A small price to pay or hypocrisy
When you lie in your bed I just question
How the fuck can you sleep?
Are you plagued by the nightmares you've seen?
Is delusion to rife in your dreams?
When you can't tell if you're asleep or awake - you're detached from the guilt
Im observing a home torn apart
A life with no purpose but suffering and war
I just long to tear out my eyes for the hundreds and thousands who needlessly die
I'm losing the will to go on
I can't stand this world anymore
I suffer for your supremacy
Im observing a home torn apart
A life with no purpose but suffering and war
I just long to tear out my eyes for the hundreds and thousands who needlessly die
For the hundreds and thousands who needlessly die

Falling downwards
Withering away
Nothing seems to hold us back from taking life Forever murdering and weeping in vicious struggles of deceit
Locking ourselves away
Maintaining our own despair
Corrupted to the core
How did it come to this?
Your life has never been yours
Only a contract to fulfill
Keep the income flowing
Funding their policies to kill
Nothing can take them down unless we refuse the hand that feeds
This constructing grip around our throats
We cannot breathe
Now it's time to push them back
And set ourselves free
Can you build up the courage to deny a life of misery?
Hoarding everything until there's nothing left
Fearing, serving
Our minds closed 'til we're dead
Nothing can stand up to this predictable congregation
Obeying their every word
With no fear or thought to question
Primitive minds
They reach out
For a higher understanding
But we fall back in line
Failing to see
Then asking the same thing
Do you think they give a fuck?
Locking ourselves away
Maintaining our own despair
Corrupted to the core
How did it come to this?
Your life has never been yours
Only a contract to fulfill
Keep the income flowing
Funding their policies to kill
Nothing can take them down unless we refuse the hand that feeds
This constructing grip around our throats
We cannot breathe
Now it's time to push them back
And set ourselves free

Resurgence

Enduring the pain
The torment and shame
Living our lives without a name
Drawing the dying breath of our subjugation
Every day it seems we're asleep
Unaware of the disregard
Every night we lie open eyed
Dormant in sleep, now we're awake
Saving ourselves from the emptiness
This is our resurgence
Dormant in sleep, now we're awake
Clawing and climbing our way out the dirt
To breathe again
We will breathe again
Spiralling round and round
Counting days as the clock ticks down
With each passing second
We're ignoring the present
Every day it seems we're asleep
Unaware of the disregard
Every night we lie open eyed
Dormant in sleep, now we're awake
Saving ourselves from the emptiness
This is our resurgence
Dormant in sleep, now we're awake
Clawing and climbing our way out the dirt
To breathe again
We must regain our hope
And reclaim ourselves
No more solitude
This is our resurgence
It was never over
This is only the start
With the hope in our hearts
This is our resurgence
With the hope in our hearts
We must breathe again
This is our resurgence
