Hope and Hindrance

Rage! These streets are a battleground With every second counting down to extinction And this world will be cursing our name 'till the final head will role This place is a killing field We won't get out alive, here's a picture Of your perfect fucking world So stand up! A plagued race of tear-aways Powerless We stand and face wave after wave Is this all that you wished for? To be one with the herd? Is this all that you dreamt of? This is the end of the world Cold shivers Blood rivers Smoke, mirrors We won't get out alive We won't get out alive We'll never be the same We won't get out alive We'll never be the same again We'll never be the same again Time to find strength in numbers before this life will end! We are the fuel to feed this fire We'll find ourselves again In this, our darkest hour, brothers in arms arise! And all we need to live is right before our eyes

Show us what's real We are waiting for you As we call out to the sky tonight, put reason behind us We can't see through Watch will all eyes to the sky Just remember where you stand As we call out to the sky tonight, we believe that you're there But we can't see you We can't fail Living in fear, we cannot make sense of this Such emptiness eating away The shivers you've put up our spines, like walking over our graves Bound by the shackles of faith, religion's the oldest of trends We're always too frightened to face the truth at the end How can we progress from here? Promising an afterlife How can we see things so clear? We can't even see past tonight If only we had inspiration to press on Must press on Must press on How can we progress from here? Promising an afterlife How can we see things so clear? We can't even see past tonight As we call out to the sky tonight, put reason behind us We can't see through Watch will all eyes to the sky Just remember where you stand

I can't believe you would treat me this way I found you out I hate the ground that you walk on Don't fucking look away! You think I'm not gonna cut you out? Dont feel pity upon me 'cause I will end this now I've got nothing to say to you anymore I wanna bury your face into the floor God you're testing me, I want you fucking dead You should have listened to me I tried to forgive you for taking away my wings I tried to forget you, your tricks won't save you now I tried to forgive you I tried to forget you Forget you! You tried to bring me down This time it won't be the same You tried to bring me down But you will never be found You tried to bring me down This time it won't be the same (Your world is breaking and everything's changing) You tried to bring me down But you will never be found And so we end this now I walk this road alone I left you buried deep where all your thoughts will drown

We're the ones that chase the sky Take everything from this life We're the one's that'll never die Nothing's closer to our hearts We're the one's that sacrifice Everything for this one life We will never fall apart I know this will last We've come this far, we'll not let go We've built this world on hollow ground We've come this far, we'll not let go Awaiting a better tomorrow Nothing can touch us, we stand as one Nothing can touch us, we stand as one We're the ones that chase the sky Take everything from this life We're the ones that will not die Nothings closer to our hearts I will stand by you forever With this smile, I'll walk on And I'll stand by you forever With this smile I won't turn back I will stand by you forever With this smile, I'll walk on And I'll stand by you forever With this smile I won't turn back

So where are you now? Hiding behind another masquerade Your deception, stripped you of all you ever loved You lie awake at night, afraid to even dream 'Cause when you close your eyes, all you see is me There's no disguising your true nature You're nothing but a fucking traitor Suffer, bitch! Drown in waters of depression Your pain is purification The hatred's building up Take one last look above The pressure's all too much Say goodbye to all that you love You know I bore you no ill will And that you brought this upon yourself You know I meant you no harm at all But now I'll bring you hell! What have you become? You're fading What have you become? You're nothing I will rise up to tear you down And no one will stand in my way I will bring you to your knees Our dreams were one and the same But no more, no more! This is nothing but a waste of emotion You are nothing but an insect I stamp on Vindication through an onslaught of violence Living manifestation of nightmares

Our lives will flash before our eyes Stripped of all absolution Predestined to worship what we should despise Only then to have our senses arrested An endless cycle of the same old mistakes Living hand to mouth and counting the days When surrounded by such negativity, it's impossible for us to break free from Degradation of all sanity To live and die with the world laid at our feet We must rise, realise, purify Rise, and realise we're born to die Next in line Born to die End of life Is it to late to start again? Or is this just the start of the end Next in line Born to die End of life Is it to late to start again? Or is this just the start of the end

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost This is! The start! Of the end!

I pray this time you're gone, I will never forget your face Turns cold as you fade away, fade away They will find you broken and alone I'll take this life to rise without you And only time will tell me who you really are Besiege my fucking trust and see this through my eyes This time will be your last This time will be your last This time will be your last I watched you crash and burn and now you feel my pain You put me through this shit Forever you'll stand alone This time This time will be your last This time will be your last This time will be your last This time will be your last This time will be your last This time will be your last

Hold this thought, this is for everything I am awakened I am free This is where I am, no faded memories With this you cannot defeat me I will never look back in regret The things that left me here are still standing This second of silence mirrors the way to push forward And in this moment I will break free from these chains I am free This distant day has only brought you closer to where I am Where I'll always be This is where I am This is where I'll always be With broken chains, I am free And If you think you're taking a single thing away from me, you're fucking wrong! I will overcome This distant day has only pushed you further from where I am Where I'll always be This is where I am This is where I'll always be With broken chains Hold this thought, this is for everything With broken chains, I am free
