Mercenary (Lock & load)
Set your sights to
closure
When boots do not
come clean
Stains will last
eternal
Many things can't
be unseen
Still every
road's a dead end, a U-turn you can't take
When smoke still
stings the eye, silence screams in horrid ways
Hand over all the bullets
Be all you've
never been
Resign to us your
purpose
and places that
you've never seen
Still every
road's a dead end, a U-turn you can't take
When smoke still
stings the eye, silence screams in horrid ways
It's spit and
polish really, reflect this void of space
take to the arms
now reaching, just one bullet is all it takes
Silence the dead
still screaming, sights set to overload
the only path
remaining; spit and polish... lock and load!
Send of without a
coffin
Deprived of every
sleep
Nightmares stalk
the daytime
Time itself you
cannot keep
Still every
road's a dead end, a U-turn you can't take
When smoke still
stings the eye, silence screams in horrid ways
It's spit and
polish really, reflect this void of space
take to the arms
now reaching, just one bullet is all it takes
Silence the dead
still screaming, sights set to overload
the only path
remaining; spit and polish... lock and load!
'cause now you're back,
you're back on the street, yet never back on your feet.
While you're still looking for this warm welcome you so desperately
need,
The only flags that you see,
Adorn the caskets of the less fortunate
(you) can't forget, are not ever coming back, as they still fill your
head
along with bullets flying, people crying,
Knowledge you've lost and the pressure to keep trying,
embody death defying and stand tall
as if it matters at all
With all the shit you're seeing other's can't believe in,
If it were a dream you could wake up screaming. Truth is...
you haven't slept in days.
It feels like years, as you wonder how much longer till you break
No point in carrying on, as it's starting to dawn,
really what they want you to believe is just inherently wrong.
The real lucky ones, are those already gone,
Those already acquainted with the wrong end of a gun
that I'll join...
Those ones I'll
join!
Silence the dead
still screaming, sights set to overload
the only path
remaining; spit and polish... lock and load!
I won't be buried with you
Eroded
footing, panic yields
this
clinging on to what - amounts to drowning
Waves
keep crashing, lights grow dim
but
this is not my time - you do the dying!
Yet
I am letting go!
To
drag me down - you won't!
Enjoy
the undertow!
One
with the rats I am jumping ship
Committed
to this life I'm leaving with
Yet
I am letting go!
To
drag me down - you won't!
Enjoy
the undertow!
I
can't be an anchor and stay adrift
Commit
to the one life I'm leaving with
Before
this began it has been too late
and
all that's been done just exacerbates
This
fire has left me without a spark
Before
we could swim you jumped the shark
I
won't be buried with you!
I won't be buried...
Eroded
footing, panic yields
this
clinging on to what - amounts to drowning
Waves
keep crashing, lights grow dim
but
this is not my time - you do the dying!
Folie
à Plusieurs
Regurgitating lies so often
our daily bread
Not caring if it nourishes
as long as we're fed
Measuring truth in numbers
is our only way
Majority rule our comfort
will keep us safe
As long as we don't stray!
Here's
to the madness we share
We're
blissfully unaware
Hive
mind, corrosive disease
A
closed of mind is at ease
Are
we sane yet?!
Not until you think our way
for we not all born the same
It's why we have a master race
judged by the colour of your face!
There also is a weaker sex
society is build on that
If no one is inferior
how can we feel superior!?
No need for moral compasses
all's written down
Don't care by who or when or why
live by it now
It will answer all your questions
remove all doubt
Just follow it to the letter
and all works out
Not caring when or how!
Here
's to the madness we share
We're
blissfully unaware
Hive
mind, corrosive disease
A
closed of mind is at ease
Are
we sane yet?!
Not until you can accept
One type of loving is correct
Otherwise it's a disease
that never truly can appease
The right to choose is a mistake
the choice has already been made
If it destroys all in it's wake
A life is never yours to take!
Maybe
my injured mind
is prove
that I'm mistaken
Show
me your made up light
maybe
that I can fake it
I won't! Flock to! Your ways! Or be you!
Voici, folie à plusieurs
Que pense c'est tout pour le mieux
Arrête! Pense
un petit peu
Ces mensonges
sont vieux jeu!
Here's
to the madness we share
We're
blissfully unaware
Hive
mind, corrosive disease
A
closed of mind is at ease
Are
we sane yet?!
Not until that you can see
A small
divergence's all we need
Our wrong is right, your right is wrong
So we can't ever get along
A special place that will be saved
if you can only live our way
If for one moment you'll need proof
it always will be locked for you!
Maybe
my injured mind
is
prove that I'm mistaken
Show
me your made up light

I won't! Flock to! Your ways! Or be you!

All for none
If push comes to shove, can you give it up
Will you run through the flames as they're
killing me?!
If push comes to shove, are we man enough
Will we join in the counting of
casualties?!
I will name this our false aurora
with the sky now alight
we will not look back
claim that millions have done this before
us
pointing out what is surely the beaten
track
In the end it's all for none
our sharpened knives attest this
the ones now lodged into our spine
will serve to sever ties with
If push comes to shove, is this all enough
Just to outrun the blast or to cease to
be?!
If push comes to shove, can we pick it up?!
I can't run from the fallout and nor can we
I will name this our false aurora
with the sky now alight
I can't stand as one
with those millions that have done this
before us
for whatever they were has become undone
In the end it's all for none
our sharpened knives attest this
the ones now lodged into our spine
will serve to sever ties with
for in the end it's all for none and none
for all
all links removed as we prepare to fall
mayhap our actions left the hounds of hell
unchained
we're running forward as we're flying
backward
all skulls turn stepping stones given judgement
day
all homes a charnel house we'll live in... either
way!
Let's not kid ourselves we're all
programmed the same
apart from one thing all can be thrown away
The herd is our
kingdom, solitude's king
Every crown made
of thorns
Having grown so immune
to the sting,
We figure it's par
for the course.
In the end it's all for none
our sharpened knives attest this
the ones now lodged into our spine
will serve to sever ties with
Skinner
Box
Barely alive we peck away
conditioned as
we are
Clipping our own wings every day
nothing remains but sores
Hands
holding less with holes that may
echo
this hand that feeds
Never to think it's time to bite
is never to be freed!
We're
barred at all the sides and keep on running
While
steel of treadmills cut our feet
through
perseverance overcome this
Frail minds breed false believes!
Lost in this maze forever more
killed off by every bend
Bereft of sight we still explore
beginning turning end
Hands
holding less with holes that may
echo
this hand that feeds
Never to think it's time to bite
is never to be freed!
We're
barred at all the sides and keep on running
While
steel of treadmills cut our feet
through
perseverance overcome this
Frail minds breed false believes!
There's
nothing left in here
we're
lost inside a Skinner box
One
thing remaining clear
our
true desires are lost (2X)
Still we feed on what's offered in vain
Longing just for what is programmed in our brain
Our raison d'être never ours to be seen
what we must feed upon must be soylent green
Biting of more than we can chew
to fill the void we made
And what we need we all eschew
until the hunger fades
Still we feed on soylent green
we're
lost inside our Skinner box
One
thing remaining clear
our
true desires are lost (3X)
There's nothing left in here
we're lost inside a Skinner box
One thing remaining clear...
Major
Arcana
Scared to take the reins into my own hands
it's all just a game I'm losing
Predetermined fate, will prove true too late
as I play like I never did choose this
Zero to rise, fool proven wise
We're all numbers that say we are free men
keep on holding on to the hollow
This is how it's meant there's no consequence
You jump of a cliff and I follow
Twenty to rise, judgement is nigh
Seeking
answers we play our lives away
Needing
answers to questions lost
And
these paths they always end the same
we
stumble in the dark (2x)
We
use a deck that's never full only one thing left to do
Looking
into all there is and picking what we choose
Scared to take the reins into my own hands
its all just a game I'm still losing
Predetermined fate, will prove true too late
as I play like I never did choose this
Eighteen to rise, crushing my mind
We're all numbers that say we are free men
keep on holding on to the hollow
This is how it's meant there's no consequence
You jump of a cliff and I follow
Fifteen to rise, bound by it's ties
Seeking
answers we play our lives away
Needing
answers to questions lost
And
these paths they always end the same
we
stumble in the dark (2x)
We
use a deck that's never full only one thing left to do
Looking
into all there is and picking what we choose
So
now the cards have been dealt
Fate
plays the trumps, what will be
I'll keep them close to my chest
and
pray for number 13 (2X)
When time is up
I am the one that will win
Always the only way out before it begins
The way you play it, it matters not
all your hopes and dreams may they forever be lost
One premonition that will always ring true
The game is over now, your life is through
So
now the cards have been dealt
Fate
plays the trumps, what will be
I'll keep them close to my chest
and
pray for number 13 (2X)
Through the eyes of the blind
Through the eyes of the blind
you
see nothing but futilities
It's
through the eyes of the blind
that
you see nothing that needs be, NO!
Standing
watching over what's accepted here
the
line I'm holding 's blurring as we speak
you
are all beholders, blinded by your fears
and
seeing nothing cures this flesh so weak
Your
façade – Denies us all
You're
forging rules – That make us fall
Your
façade – Denies us all
You're
forging rules!
With
a beam lodged so tight only the splinter matters
I'll
cast the first stone any time
the
one that makes skulls shatter.
And
when it comes to hold my own
I'll
skip the judge and jury
for
every precious sin atone
Watch
me unleash the furies
Standing watching over what's accepted here
the
line I'm holding 's blurring as we speak
you
are all beholders, blinded by your fears
and
seeing nothing cures this flesh so weak
It's
eye for eye – And blood for blood
Justice
fails – I won't give up
It's
eye for eye – And blood for blood
Justice
fails!
Just
look!
So
we're watching through these eyes
This
injustice, 's till you die!
I
have to take this in my calloused hands
say
revenge is mine
making
this my nine tenths
screw
your ten percent this time!
Time
has come to hold my own
no
judge, no jury
For
these precious sins atone
unleash
the furies! (2X)
Watch
me – unleash – this!
Negation Delirium
To
say it's all just in your mind
That
that's terrible to waste
It's
not you like you decided
to
throw it all away
With
eyes still open wide
and
nothing left to see
Your
mouth is not sown shut
there
are just no more words to speak
You
know those close doing their best
To
safe you from yourself
But
you cannot raise the dead
or
turn into somebody else
Not
ignoring helping hands
You
are just too numb to reach
Screaming
out would be the plan
if
there was just some air to breath
(I
feel you, I hear you, I see you)
I
urge you, put away that knife
there
are better ways to feel
do
not open scars tonight
We'll
make the lifeless heal
Sometimes
we build walls not to keep anyone out
But
to see who cares enough to break them down
But
building more and more will form a crypt given time
As
forceful entry will bury you in rubble
We just must learn how to climb
I
urge you, put away that knife
there
are better ways to feel
do
not open scars tonight
We'll
make the lifeless heal (2x)
Were Demons Dare
Shedding
thin constraints known as humanity
lacking
words for what now stalks the streets
When
all conventions, and rules are purged
Virus
of man, will soon disperse
Who
longs to tread where demons dare
It's
one taste of blood, you smell it everywhere
A
pack of wolves howl at the unknown
mouths
sown shut, their hunger just grows
with
strength in numbers, follow the blind
rage
in their heads, never subsides
Who
longs to tread where demons dare
It's
one taste of blood, you smell it everywhere
So we
march to this beat
With
a broken freedom bell under our feet
Yeah
we march to this beat
While
we're ringing in this state of anarchy
Red
carpet made of broken glass and broken man
See
yourself reflected with a cinder block in hand!
Without
restraints our own purpose seems lost
Without
consequences there no longer 's a cost
Shedding
thin constraints known as humanity
Have
we all the same urges beneath!?
Staring
in the face of opportunity
Shedding
thin constraints known as humanity
We
all march to the same broken beat!
We
all long to tread where demons dare
It's
one taste of blood, you'll smell it everywhere
So we
march to this beat
With
a broken freedom bell under our feet
Yeah
we march to this beat
While
we're ringing in this state of anarchy
