Solitude

All alone, finally disconnected from a world so utterly plain.
Never more will I try to show my patience to a crowd so morbidly vain.
Left behind all your cries - you won't escape from your miserable fate.
Close your eyes and scream away, trapped in conceit and self-deprecating lies...
Abandonment - your just deserts,
Your goals forsaken for your life despised.
You're looking back, but they're all gone.
Your idols of gold have turned to stone.
No regard for consequence, you never thought twice about the shit that you pulled.
No one there to see you fade - lonely at the top when all you've got is empty words.
A universe of apathy, the only thing to cover you in the bed that you've made.
Outcast and ostracized - seems you never thought that you will reap what you sow...
Abandonment - your just deserts,
Your goals forsaken for your life despised.
You're looking back, but they're all gone.
Your idols of gold have turned to stone.
You're gonna get what you deserve -
Payback for your borrowed time.
You cry for help, but no one's there.
Your dreams of gold have turned to stone...

Chaotic Values
06:32
|

All the steps we walk between all that's real and what's a dream,
And the boundaries of thought, like the line in your palm, fade away...
When the silence fills the air and your mind begins to tear -
On the image of her face her soul's in another place...
Chaotic systems, chaotic values,
They dominate our thoughts
Chaotic systems, chaotic values,
We live for ourselves - for others not.
Do you trust all that which seems - what is real, to he who dreams?
Can you hear those distant screams, like the line in your palm, fade away in -
Chaotic systems, chaotic values,
They dominate our thoughts
Chaotic systems, chaotic values,
We live for ourselves - for others not.
Chaotic systems, chaotic values,
They dominate our thoughts
Chaotic systems, chaotic values,
We live for ourselves - for others not.

Irrational beliefs have brought you this far
But I don't really think you'll be getting any more.
On the brink of understanding you refuse to accept
That the world ain't yours and you're far from perfect.
All the times you got away with lying and deceit -
Those days are gone, now it's time to face the heat.
You think, by telling everyone just what they wanna hear,
That you'll get off the hook. Well, I've had it up to here!
Infecting our lives with swindling and lies,
An amoral slime taking every last dime -
Don't waste our time with your self-righteous crime.
Open your eyes... To your demise!
Degenerate illusions keep society in snares,
While unscrupulous fucks feed off their dying prayers -
A world for our children, with no room left for reason,
In desperate need of change - let's declare it open season.
People preying off the sick, impoverished and dumb -
I say it's time we got rid of these walking sacks of scum.
Their hollowed out conscience ain't asking for amends,
We gotta make them pay for all the blood on their hands!
Infecting our lives with swindling and lies,
An amoral slime taking every last dime -
Don't waste our time with your self-righteous crime.
Open your eyes... To your demise!

Open your eyes...

Attack

Are you proud of all the kids you sent away,
Knowing well no matter how much they pray,
No one cares about the things they have to say.
Their only easy day was yesterday.
Back home it's business as usual -
Their blood's cheap as they're put through the crucible.
The day they're born, they're rendered expendable.
When money talks, nothing's impossible.
Scared boy - you put the gun in his hands.
Why is he here? Do you really think he understands?
Can't believe all the shit that goes around:
Each day a hundred names in the ground.
Where's home when you don't want them back?
Their only purpose was to push the attack.
Raised them right; told them to be brave,
It's time to send them straight to the grave!
You ignore their grieving mothers' desperate cries.
Will they ever see an end to all your lies?
What do you see when you look down from the skies?
Does a dying generation please your eyes?
Give up all hope for their safe return.
Their forgiveness we will never earn.
Gotta stop condemning kids to burn.
Lessons that the world has yet to learn...
Scared boy - you put the gun in his hands.
Why's he here? Do you really think he understands?
Can't believe all the shit that goes around:
Each day a hundred names in the ground.
Where's home when you don't want them back?
Their only purpose was to push the attack.
Raised them right; told them to be brave,
It's time to send them straight to the grave!

Chains

Through the shroud of mystery, from the depths of the abyss
The fallen march forever on in desperation's bliss.
Bound in timeless turmoil on the depths of Hell,
One with wanton misery in a mist none shall dispel
Cast into oblivion, a spell from ancient times
Eternal slaves a' harrowing , a suffering divine
Chains of the damned, chiming through the emptiness
Shackles of a curse, forever tied in bitterness
Through the shroud of mystery, from the depths of the abyss
The fallen march forever on in desperation's bliss.
Bound in timeless turmoil on the depths of Hell,
One with wanton misery in a mist none shall dispel
Winds devour cries of pain beneath this brimstone sky
You might join this feeble flock when it's your time to die!
Chains of the damned, chiming through the emptiness
Shackles of a curse, forever tied in bitterness
Chains of the damned, chiming through the emptiness
Shackles of a curse, forever lost in bitterness
