It's killing season Persuasion will determine the outcome The victim will have bloodied hands and a snake will make them so Welcome to hell on earth Instigated by the lies created from the mouths of brethren This time we've lost, but at what cost? The meaning of trust is a broken Hymn The serpent has spoken and his will has been done Is this the end of the world? Betraying our brothers to see how far we can rule Now the time is right There's no turning back No turning back So set me free of this demon deep inside The serpent utters every line that you will speak henceforth Everything you know has been erased Replaced by traitorous endeavors With sounds of twisting tales tightening your blindfold This time we've lost, but at what cost? For now my voice will cry for change The serpent has spoken and he's in everyone Is this the end of the world? Betraying our brothers to see how far we can rule Encased in walls of greed and control With serpentine lies on your tongue I've searched and tried I'll break away these chains I will not be consumed I refuse Is this the end of the world? Betraying our brothers to see how far we can rule

Vicious authority from the mouth of hate Spewing forth all the lies that you can make Just one look in the mirror tells your tale When will your jealousy resolve? So what gives you the right? You'll see that this day is mine Now the time has come I see you cover your eyes to shield yourself You're better off in the dark after all... What did you take me for? A fool, or a liar? I'll bet your shaking in your goddamn boots So what gives you the right? You'll see that this day is mine You'll never understand It's not some "divine hand" That makes me the person that I am So what the hell are you gonna do now? So what gives you the right? You'll see that this day is mine This day is mine This day is mine This day is mine

Sucked in Engulfed by feelings I don't know Descending deep inside this darkening place It's bright lights will drag you down I'm drawn in to the city of vultures Circling, preying They'll take you down alive Unless we save ourself this time Unless you save yourself... We're falling down Tonight, tonight From blinding lights That drew me in Tonight I'm caught in this vicious betrayal Of what I knew as truth And this city full of liars and brutes Will make me stay and learn their way I vow to struggle I promise to put up a fight with fists in the air I have no more fear We're falling down Tonight, tonight From blinding lights That drew me in Tonight We are the elite in this city of broken dreams We will not regret, relent, conform or bend For this is who we are, this is who I am... We're falling down Tonight, tonight From blinding lights That drew me in Tonight

In the arms of anonymity You have made your bed But was it worth it? When you had to raise your voice Because I don't want to waste my days Walking around these hopeless streets Watching silent nights Watching myself fade... Now I know I'll figure this one out on my own Raise up my voice, and scream and shout Well I won't stand for nothing Because I can't hear you talking I will live out loud You once had a dream But the feeling of being made you weak And now you talk in your head Your lifeless body feels like the walking dead Living in fear of consequences Does not adhere to a life worth living And I don't want to see the day when the hearts of people turn the other Way Reposed in silence With nothing to say... Now I know I'll figure this one out on my own Raise up my voice, and scream and shout Well I won't stand for nothing Because I can't hear you talking I will live out loud Now I know I'll figure this one out on my own Raise up my voice, and scream and shout Well I won't stand for nothing Because I can't hear you talking I will live out loud You're talking in whispers

These false beliefs will fuel our denial The last debris will crumble in front of our eyes Just so we can see the truth behind the lies Nobody said this was easy An unveiling of things that we don't want to hear Confiding in idols that preach their own bible Doubting the strength in our hearts If you can stand up to the masses And preach and sell your gospel Then I'll take back all the scars Of which your the root and the cause Pay the price unearthing The sacred hand that buries the truth Who believes in the land of the free? I'll show them, their God can bleed There is not one who'll save you now The new uprising has turned this table round The blood you spill on honest ground Contours the landscapes of our time Stripped back to callous numbness That you have enforced tenfold Chasing rainbow and mirage Selling your miracle cure But what is more? To carry my burdens Like my heroes before... Pay the price unearthing The sacred hand that buries the truth Who believes in the land of the free? I'll show them, their God can bleed I am the one to bring you down Sent from the streets I was sown on We are the sons of everymen We will not break, we will not bend Pay the price unearthing The sacred hand that buries the truth Who believes in the land of the free? I'll show them, their God can bleed

Divinity will rise and destroy I am the wolf amongst the sheep And I will erase all the things that you hold dear No more heroes, no more lies No more saviors on which you can rely I was created from self righteous tears Not from devils not from demons But from those from preach power through fear For once in this life I scorched the skies I am the remedy to humanity I'm the dirge of those who died I'm the devil turning glass into the sand The shadow on the wall I'm the subtlety of endless sleep For this demon is a man I am the great plague bearing down I am the land clearing flood I am the iron fist that pulverizes kingdoms into dust And now I will show you what it means to suffer And what it means to die For once in this life I scorched the skies I am the remedy to humanity I'm the dirge of those who died I'm the devil turning glass into the sand The shadow on the wall I'm the subtlety of endless sleep For this demon is a man For once in this life I scorched the skies I am the remedy to humanity I'm the dirge of those who died I'm the devil turning glass into the sand I'm the shadow on the wall I'm the subtlety of endless sleep For this demon is a man

Now the departed, are laid to rest And the single chance to reconcile is covered with the earth I heard her screaming, begging to the sky All the while the numbness culls all decency inside I bid farewell to those forsaken eyes But I would hold you when there's nothing left I'll never let you down So sick of trying all the time The blood's been spilt, and it is mine And all that's left to breathe Are empty words inside my head All the bullets shall unload, empty casings, callous hold The loss of one begins to burn But I'll take that road when its my turn I bid farewell to those forsaken eyes But I would hold you when there's nothing left I'll never let you down! No more will I fall apart... I bid farewell to those forsaken eyes But I would hold you when there's nothing left I'll never let you down!

The revolution comes alive Now it's time to take a side Who are you? With bombs falling from the mouths of the lord's in seat When every day comes forth to claim the weak I won't listen, I won't listen When we're face down, reveling in mess we've made When city walls transform into a cage We aren't victims, we aren't victims So hear us, and know it's all A promise, to overcome They strive for control but they won't take our lives away I've realized, that you are the only one who feels Your changing life Your situation does not dictate who you are Or who you become in this world When all hope seems to far out of reach When all the fools want to judge and preach Remember truly, who's still with you Stand tall in your solidarity And as one there is immortality For you are defined, by the life you leave behind So hear us, and know it's all A promise, to overcome They strive for control but they won't take our lives away We've opened up the sky We are the warriors With a halo of embers everlasting in our hearts We will fight on together We will last forever

I can't steer away from the tragedy before me It's burning luminescence holds my eye I can not understand it, you are so disenchanted In your shadow of a life I hold this one truth to myself: To never forget where I have come from Your lies beguile us all, but there's still a chance to change You must forsake the facade, and realize just who you are For what you've done, you've faded to blackness (blackness) Your closing eyes, sink into darkness You've turned your back on what you believe For the sake of walking through a dream Your startling contradictions All derive from your life's own fictions Illusions give you all the pride That you need to deal with what's inside But you'll never wipe the tears from your eyes Because your living a selfish lie I hold this one truth to myself To never forget where I have come from Your lies beguile us all, but there's still a chance to change You must forsake the facade, and realize just who you are For what you've done, you've faded to blackness (blackness) Your closing eyes, sink into darkness (darkness) We're so determined to blaze our own trail That we forget who we are and we cover ourselves in lies But I will not, for I have sovereignty In the eyes of those who may judge me I will overcome For what you've done, you've faded to blackness (blackness) Your closing eyes, sink into darkness (darkness)

There are shades I have yet to define When all I seem to do is climb To better understand The life that's in my hands And what I seek to find in this world On these darkened roads Where blood runs cold They clipped my wings and I'm going down We let this world get the better of us Possessions state to who we can and can not trust But did we ever stop to ask who we are? Some live life by age old rules Sent forth from a king and kept alive by a fool But they'll never understand What it means to raise your hand It's time to readdress your rights It's time to fight... On these darkened roads Where blood runs cold They clipped my wings and I'm going down For the life we have in our beating hearts Is all that we have left Faces and memories Are the only real things And they are worth this struggle Our lives are one single chance to make things right This time, no turning back I'm taking flight On these darkened roads Where blood runs cold They clipped my wings and I'm going down For the life we have in our beating hearts Is all that we have left

Mouth sewn shut, abandoned to speak With the dawn of a new day rising We all will know shall I not be heard I will not For they cannot stand up, and bite the bullet Their justice lies with pain Their justice is not belief Killing, maiming, interrogating all Who are true to their word Behind life and death lies the line We all must cross one day For we are the same And as I dream, of something real We all will weep, for we can not feel Pray for something new, the bridges will burn As we cast our divides Bring me to my knees, and laugh awhile As you see the destruction you have caused I will not be, brought down by mistakes in my past Destroy, rebuild, enslave is not the only way For you will decay destroy other relations With a pure race created by intolerant bigots Who would destroy a world for their own power The rivers are weeping as the streets rain blood As we now pass judgement let the bridges burn Behind life and death lies the line We all must cross one day For we are the same And so we, in sickness, cry out our gaping maws And so we, in sickness, reject our lives for dirt
