Hatebreed
Album • 1997
You come to me with salvation Saying I must repent You offer up your redemption A guarantee of a better life in your safe world Your illusions are comfort for your conscience My sacrifices will be made In honor of what is truly sacred How can you save me When you can't save yourself? You can't save yourself You can't save yourself

They're so persuasive With their fucking lies Not an ounce of respect They'll do anything to sell deception Burn the lies Their words of ignorance Shove them back Back down their throats All that I have for you Is hate They will quickly abandon What little morale they have Tell you that you are worth nothing With no regard for anyone Burn the lies Their words of ignorance Shove them back Back down their throats All that I have for you Is hate I'm filled with hate Filled with hate I'm filled with hate

What makes you think everything in this world That you have can be taken away? In the world this day, it's kill or be killed I live each day like it might be my last In this lifetime, few things are worth fighting for My blood, your honor Everyone has a destiny I'll choose my own I will not be a victim I'll choose my own! My cries won't go unheard I'll choose my own! I've got to fight (fight!) for myself I'll choose my own! And what I hold so true; destiny I'll choose my own destiny And I'll never let anyone take away what I hold so true I won't live in denial And I won't turn the other cheek I must remain convicted and never accept this suffering I've learned from my mistakes And made a promise to myself I won't live in the past I won't live in the past! I've been affected by your lies And I've let them hold me back I wasn't thinking for myself I wasn't living for myself I will not be a victim I'll choose my own! My cries won't go unheard I'll choose my own! I've got to fight (fight!) for myself I'll choose my own! And what I hold so true What I have in my heart What I have in my heart I'll take to my grave I'll take to my grave

Bastard cries Feeds the fire The burning desire To rob human life In this world full of fear of the unknown Twisting the perception of the weak Lying to progress Only achieving greed Seated behind the sun Myths bleed into one Searching for a savior to lead us through this life where our sanity is undone Killing against our will Killing for the bastard maker The fairy tale The non-existent Salvation, so bittersweet The taste brought fear to our tongues Preying on the weak Fatherless creation Encased in the depths Of humanity They continue to rape And call it purity I will not bow down because of our past I see now mankind was not meant to last Killing against our will Killing for the bastard maker The fairy tale The non-existent Salvation, so bittersweet The taste brought fear to our tongues Preying on the weak Fatherless creation Encased in the depths Of humanity They continue to rape And call it purity I see now mankind was not meant to last

Thrown, I was thrown Thrown into this living hell I am the hatred taken from another's life Born unwanted, extracted of all that is humane No one can relate to my abandonment I walk this earth alone in search of salvation Forever, forever, forever alone A tormented seed given a chance to grow The end result of moral choice Only to live a tortured life as the product of rape Under a mother's face of innocence And a father with eyes of a demon Conceived through an act of violence Conceived through an act of violence Conceived through an act of violence Conceived through an act of violence No, I was thrown into this living hell I didn't ask to be this way I was thrown into this living hell Thrown into this living hell Thrown into this living hell

Hatred evokes the memories that make your blood run cold Fear and sorrow push you away from yourself How can you face the world? When you can't face the mirror How can you leave your past? With blood on your hands? Can you run away all your life? Can you escape your punishment? How many times can you start it all again? And how many lies will it take to cover your tracks? How can you face the world? When you can't face the mirror How can you leave your past? With blood on your hands? Can you run away all your life? Can you escape your punishment? No matter how far you go Those days are right behind The facade of your perfect life Cannot hide your afflicted past There is no escape No escape No escape No escape No escape

Drifting by the heavens unscarred Yet unhealed before a bleeding cross Thrown into the ash Crumbling the furnace, resurrection I've been crossed like the hands on a clock's face I've been fed lies I can't comprehend I've become a mere seed again And I'll prophesize the end Now I have yet begun to fight There is no fear in my heart No cause worthy of my respect In the end I'll rot I won't fall prey to deception Deception is the means by which they profit Deceit is in their hearts Evil's within their souls The cruelty by which they exploit Will never be part of my life I've been crossed like the hands on a clock's face I've been fed lies I can't comprehend I've become a mere seed again And I'll prophesize the end Now

Living as we rot Showered with shadows of dreams devoured Our souls descend into endless seas of sin There's no turning back No repenting, no remorse Hate stricken creation I realize in this world There is not one truth cast into stone Only lies cast into flames There is not one truth cast into stone Only lies cast into flames It's time to burn Burn alive It's time to burn Burn at the stake Our eyes crystal clear Our bodies frozen with fear And there's nothing to save us now From endless suffering and solitude We've lost the chance To save this dying world So we pay the price Of which no one can afford This is our last breath The first in a world of misery There is nothing left I realize in this world There is not one truth cast into stone Only lies cast into flames It's time to burn Burn alive It's time to burn Burn at the stake

In a cold unforgiving world Alone with fear and weakness Oppressed and dying slowly Countless people have been betrayed by life No one is exempt No one is safe So many lives will be taken So many lives been ruined So many lives hang in the balance So many lives will be lost Betrayed by life Betrayed by life As survivors we are left to mend their wounds We are left to dry their tears We are left to pick up the pieces of those who have been Betrayed by life

I was so blind I couldn't see the truth I was unable to see how my life was being used to be something so miniscule Everything I thought was so definite I thought was so real Was thrown away and will be remembered Among unparalleled hatred Consider my suffering Through all your pain Remember my face I'll dig your grave Since when was something so sacred Turning into something so wrong Something so important to me Cheapened and exploited I won't be that way, I can't, I can't be that way again I can't, I won't, I will never let it Consider my suffering Through all your pain Remember my face I'm digging your fucking grave For the rest of your fucking life You will mark my words

All the prayers in the world can't bring you back It's your last breath This is your last breath Taken from this earth without warning Victim of the ultimate injustice Nothing will ever make sense of this Nothing could have prepared me All that is left are memories And the pieces of a shattered existence I wish I could bring you back I felt your last breath It's your last breath This is your last breath All the prayers in the world won't bring you back It's your last breath This is your last breath Last breath

No one can redeem themselves No one can be saved In a dying world filled with enslavement and endless apathy A tortured past and not much future A tattered earth remains Destitute and alone in madness A burial for the living Our earth stripped of wealth Burial for the living Our bodies drained of life In a world full of enemies I'm an enemy of the world There is only so long we have to live Our dying days are spent waiting for history to repeat itself A burial for the living Our earth stripped of wealth Burial for the living Our bodies drained of life Our only hope is vengeance Vengeance

Conditioned to feel nothing We turn our backs on all these crimes Cries fall on deaf ears, and the killing continues They say what we don't know will never hurt us But nothing could be, further from the truth In your uncaring life, we are worlds apart In this race doomed to fail, we are worlds apart In this system you support, we are worlds apart In my soul, we are worlds apart (we are worlds apart) Worlds apart (worlds apart)

Every second breathes life into a reason for dying Our own ignorance will only stunt our final will to live Bound and gagged, I feel forced back in a losing race I've been stepped on and passed by but I have enough hope to keep fighting All of my life, all of my pain Driven by suffering All of my life, all of my pain Driven by suffering Every single choice I must make Driven by suffering Every single choice I must make Driven by suffering Suffering
