Act of Defiance
Album • 2017
Destruction of the planet to gain control Greed of a corporate nation Rise to power, bring the change, create milestones Fuel for contamination Speculation of ideas across the globe We're due for annihilation Technological command, there's still no growth Modern day excavation, to the molten core Catastrophic consequence Put your trust in what you know Politics protect their interests So quick to bury their own Disenchanted and divided, we're at a loss Emissions of escalation Media feeds on the weak and the uninformed Heinous humiliation Radiation on the rise, there is no hope Millions of dollars wasted Contribution from a government, our downfall Humanity restricted, to the molten core Catastrophic consequence Put your trust in what you know Politics protect their interests So quick to bury their own To rubble from root, this is our realization Too rich and too dumb to care With our bellies full, keep us uneducated The divisions of disrepair Eradication of the sun, it's a vast black hole Demise of the population Suffer the plague, an age of millennials The mindless generation Ignoring all the signs, we take the fall Ignorant and misguided Living in a world of oblivion Arrogant and entitled, to the molten core Catastrophic consequence Put your trust in what you know Politics protect their interests So quick to bury their own

Wait for the camera to roll, you put yourself on trial You keep on digging a hole, to make your headline Just when the story unfolds, your status is denial The weight is taking a toll, just to undermine We won't be sold And it's overexposure, no It won't be long Before we pay the price, open our eyes Selling your soul every day, the curtain starts to rise Your shallow words are in vain, hide behind the lies A talking head on a screen, with nothing left to say Play out the final scene, you've led yourself astray We won't be sold And it's overexposure, no It won't be long Before we pay the price, open our eyes Open your eyes Open your eyes You prey upon the sheep All by design you thrive on your... And with no spine, you thrive on your celebrity We won't be sold And it's overexposure, no It won't be long Before we pay the price, open our eyes We won't be sold And it's overexposure, no It won't be long Before we pay the price, open our eyes

Life will flash before thine eyes, the fear will start to grow It should come as no surprise, the darkness always knows Ancient shrines inscribed in stone, the powers are destroyed The dagger points to the black sun, spirits to behold The blood of the sacred, the tears of a fool Night of the wolf, a world of skin and bones We are the mark of the hand of our maker Night of the wolf, break the spell from the left hand path The poison tongue of our lord's command Whispers from the underworld, beneath the forest floor Protected by the talisman, legend and folklore The blood of the sacred, the tears of a fool Night of the wolf, a world of skin and bones We are the mark of the hand of our maker Night of the wolf, break the spell from the left hand path The poison tongue of our lord's command Sky will turn to black Rain will turn to blood Night will bury your children Plague of one and all Beast of man transformed as one, scars carved into souls The scourge of demons has begun, under a full moon The blood of the sacred, the tears of a fool Night of the wolf, a world of skin and bones We are the mark of the hand of our maker Night of the wolf, break the spell from the left hand path The poison tongue of our lord's command

Song of daggers, a song of knives State what matters, bold-faced lies Psalm of revenge, psalm of wrath Sing your motive, lunatic psychopath Lost in a lullaby of vengeance No other soul to be found Cost of yourself condemning penance No congregation around Chant of hatred, chant of contempt Your stab at friendship, a failed attempt A hymn of folly, a hymn of spite Your lunacy, harber your ruthless plight Lost in a lullaby of vengeance No other soul to be found Cost of yourself condemning penance No congregation around Chorus of your indignation In the depths your thoughts dwell A chanting voice of resentment The flawed conclusion of your hell Can't you listen to all around You only see reasons to hate Actions divide, Can you feel it? A stringing slight Air of closure, air to the end The final cadence, nothing to condescend Lost in a lullaby of vengeance No other soul to be found Cost of yourself condemning penance No congregation around Chorus of your indignation In the depths your thoughts dwell A chanting voice of resentment The flawed conclusion of your hell Choir sings contempt and loathing The stifled words you cannot tell Ballad of emphatic voices The barren soul of the impaled

Erupt like a fire, leave your legacy To ensure you will live forever more Death may devour your identity To me you'll always be an immortal soul Circle of ashes and smoke Burn the candle at both ends and live for yourself Stand up for something Burn the brightest embers up to your last breath The fragments you leave us are transcendent Preserve the inferno, in a sea of flames Remember who you are and reveal yourself Circle of ashes and smoke Burn the candle at both ends and live for yourself Stand up for something Burn the brightest embers up to your last breath The fragments you leave us are transcendent Light the darkness... A signal in the noise, kindle the coals Dignity till death, calm before the storm Circle of ashes and smoke Burn the candle at both ends and live for yourself Stand up for something Burn the brightest embers up to your last breath The fragments you leave us are transcendent Burn the candle at both ends and live for yourself Stand up for something Burn The fragments you leave us are transcendent

Stuck, caught in another illusion Becomes so great that you cannot perceive See, beyond the hallucinations You only hear just what you want to believe Your delusions lead to stark conclusions Enforce more conclusion — prophecy Old convictions create new restrictions Slave to your addiction — the disease Reborn, beneath the remains you cannot see The curse is written in blood Descendent of all iniquity An omen — our family tree To learn their true motivation You pierce the skin, for they want you to bleed Fear, in the throes of isolation Your only haven is the comfort to sleep Your psychosis is the diagnosis For the higher dosage, that's the key The prescription is the real redemption From your past afflictions that you seek Reborn, beneath the remains you cannot see The curse is written in blood Descendent of all iniquity An omen — our family tree You channel the fear, enter the unknown Summon the beast, now you play the role The pain that you hide, it's slow suicide The cross you bear is not your own Reborn, beneath the remains you cannot see The curse is written in blood Descendent of all iniquity An omen — our family tree You channel the fear, enter the unknown Summon the beast, now you play the role The pain that you hide, it's slow suicide The cross you bear is not your own

Kneel before your father Profane hypocrisy Steal to serve your savior Falling prey to the machine Sworn to secrecy, a new sovereign nation Independence becomes world domination Conspiracy of the Gods Old scars, new wounds They're playing you like the pawn Neglect and misuse Now no one can save you Cast down from the elite Heed the cryptic warning Just a cog in the deceit Sworn to secrecy, a new sovereign nation Independence becomes world domination Conspiracy of the Gods Old scars, new wounds They're playing you like the pawn Neglect and misuse Conspiracy of the Gods Surveillance of truth Conspiracy of the Gods You're left without a clue Conspiracy of the Gods Surveillance of truth Conspiracy of the Gods Bind and control your world view Your chalice of faith has betrayed The cross of illusion is fading away Now cast aside, left to burn Lies they've been feeding you over and over again Hands to the sky Seeking the answers yet always denied No one will hear fading cries Lies they been feeding you over and over again

What blind eyes see, a fake reality Awakened from another killing spree What blind eyes see, a fake reality Awakened from another killing spree Your path to hell is led with grave intentions You're selfish in your ways without redemption Detached from what is real, a vague existence Unhallowed fall from grace, a frail with broken Can't you see what you've become? Can't repair your mangled world What blind eyes see, a fake reality Awakened from another killing spree Living out your last days, the mind of the insane You pull the trigger, yet you never take the blame Compelled by your sick rage, the flood gates open And much to your dismay, you are forgotten Can't you see what you've become? Can't repair your mangled world What blind eyes see, a fake reality Awakened from another killing spree What blind eyes see, a fake reality Awakened from another killing spree Can't repair your mangled world What blind eyes see, a fake reality Awakened from another killing spree What blind eyes see, a fake reality Awakened from another killing spree
