Neutralize the Threat

Out of the ashes Out of the ruins In the eye of the storm Justice is the paramount priority Restore order Our standard raised aloft To waiver above our heads On reconquered ground All under the darkened smoke-filled sky No, we never forgave Now the axe blades descend Always seared in our minds Strands of piano wire constrict into the guilties' flesh Out of the ashes Out of the ruins In the eye of the storm Justice is the paramount priority Restore order Our standard raised aloft To waiver above our heads On reconquered ground All under the darkened smoke filled sky

Neutralize the threat! I'm encircled by filth and chaos Self-preservation Surrounded by parasites and vileness Self-preservation In the abysmal depths of urban decay A nightmare Humans exist without humanity Rotting cores inside of a rotting core Brutalized Now the doors are torn from the gates of hell Rise solitary from the concrete Self-preservation Bloodied and smashed, haunted by pain Self-preservation Resolve hardens to never again Now must crush Suffer at the hands of walking demons A climate of criminality Must resist Enabled by traitors who live in delusions The hunters and the prey Defense mechanism, instincts overtake Lights flicker as the subway car shakes And now the weapon's drawn And now the weapon's raised Fire again and again Severing the spinal chord Fire again and again Blood pours onto the floor Fire again and again Lifeless they collapse Fire again and again Escape out the door Neutralize the threat! Neutralize the threat! Neutralize the threat! (Neutralize!) Neutralize the threat! (Neutralize!)

Disrupt, destroy Fuses burn till pipe bombs detonate From the blasts concussion shattered walls quake Rain falls through the pools of light Beneath the street lamps as we run Striking back against those who afflict and infect victims with the plague Left strung out, condemned to die Suffering in horrific pain Reason and warnings All went ignored Amnesty's over Now total war The soldiers of the people's revolt retaliate With force against force Determining their fate Districts in the Emerald Isle sink Into a venomous flood Their hands are forced Driven to quell To draw out the guilties' blood Reason and warnings All went ignored Amnesty's over Now total war The soldiers of the people's revolt retaliate With force against force Determining their fate Ravaging Every class All against Balance offset Disrupt, destroy The antidote To the sickness The only way Restabilize Regain control Restabilize Regain control Restabilize Regain control Restabilize Regain control Reason and warnings All went ignored Amnesty's over Now total war The soldiers of the people's revolt retaliate With force against force Determining their fate

Prey upon Prey upon The desperate and lost Despite the cost Creating nothing Except misery To live out a Scarface fantasy To look into their eyes and see Watch them diminish day by day Grim reapers disseminate the heroin Contrivers of a false escape Indifferent to the suffering It creates Died with a needle in her arm Her son knelt at her side The end of a world A one hundred kiloton blast With legalese Police hands are tied Or profit from payments To turn a blind eye Manipulate their way through the System unscathed each time Slither there way out only to Poison more lives again Poison more lives Not all are frozen in fear Dismiss the offer for a reprieve Rounds tear through the purveyor's flesh Dead in a pool of blood Died with a needle in her arm Her son knelt at her side The end of a world A one hundred kiloton blast

Black smoke pours from hollow windows Palace of justice under assault Cartel mercenaries on the warpath Fighting police in the street Cocaine flows out through hurricanes of violence They're forced to comply Manipulated by their darkest fears Withdrawn into silence Traitors Do the devil's work Fevers Lost in avarice Beyond A means to survive Fevers Lost in avarice Civilians, judges, police zeroed in Centered in the crosshairs with no way to win Live from day to day, trapped in a nightmare Of bloodshed and terror Bomb fragments tear Lead pierces through Mutilated victims fall to the ground Tortured to death, ghastly murders Left decapitated Traitors Do the devil's work Fevers Lost in avarice Beyond A means to survive Fevers Lost in avarice The bold resist Overt and in stealth Pursuing their enemies Through the city Chased down killed on site One by one they fall The cartel's terror ends with each demise Counterstrike Counterstrike Counterstrike Traitors Do the devil's work Fevers Lost in avarice Beyond A means to survive Fevers Lost in avarice Traitors Do the devil's work Fevers Lost in avarice Beyond A means to survive Fevers Lost in avarice

They're defenseless creatures That were sentenced to die Held captive from their inception Throughout their lives Instinctual yearning to escape, to be free Their only value to humans is monetary A silhouette in the dark Bolt cutters slice through steel To emancipate the condemned By conscience compelled Clouds cover over Each mink disappears into the night By conscience compelled Adrenaline surges, anxiety boils The sense of empathy Overwhelms the fear Compassion overpowers all the hesitation Animated by the urgency Fate has handed their rescue down to me A silhouette in the dark Bolt cutters slice through steel To emancipate the condemned By conscience compelled Clouds cover over Each mink disappears into the night By conscience compelled The net slowly closes Can't slip away Stay paces ahead With nowhere to hide They were always one step behind It was only a matter of time Now nothing to regret Locked inside a prison cell Driven by conviction Nothing near their hell A silhouette in the dark Bolt cutters slice through steel To emancipate the condemned By conscience compelled Clouds cover over Each mink disappears into the night By conscience compelled There are no regrets There are no regrets By conscience compelled By conscience compelled

Vicious and sadistic Savages run rampant Fear waits in the dark at every turn The assailants Brazen murderers Evil floods the vacuum Moral guidelines erode away The shadow rises Against them in wrath Avenging wraiths The shadow rises Against them in wrath A hail of lead Enforcers of the law Forced to operate Above the law For the sake of justice Lives put on the line Sweep the scythe to see The wicked fall this time The shadow rises Against them in wrath Avenging wraiths The shadow rises Against them in wrath A hail of lead Intolerant For the unforgivable Won't capitulate To the enemies Of a sane society Exterminate the infestation Black talons tear Black talons tear Beneath the palms Moonlight gleams on metal roofs Footsteps on broken pavement Advancing to execute The shadow rises Against them in wrath Avenging wraiths The shadow rises Against them in wrath A hail of lead Black talons tear Black talons tear Black talons tear Black talons tear

No power, no police No sustenance or communication Every human for themselves In a landscape of devastation The only guarantee is that this won't last forever Past cultures never thought that theirs would end either The terror strike that leveled cities A way of life has ended Electromagnetic pulse weapon Technology deleted The only guarantee is that this won't last forever Past cultures never thought that theirs would end either A biological weapons attack Fear and plague wreak havoc Nuclear accidents Unnatural disasters The planet crushed by a meteor Volcanic debris rains down Polar shift brings our demise A climatic cataclysm Assured of civilization's end Now trapped in the aftermath The planet is now transformed All life altered forever The only guarantee is that this won't last forever Past cultures never thought that theirs would end either Raze
