[Arise (Empires To Ashes)]
Arise
We the people of the United States of America have set forth a precedence to say
"We will no longer allow our Catholic priests to molest our young for sexual pleasures"
We're taking back our America
We the people of the United States of America have set forth a precedence to say
"Pop icons will no longer molest their fans for sexual pleasures"
We're taking back our America

There's no escaping this hell that we're living it's all coming down to the wire
I've found in myself a new way of living. A forward attack, it's time to push back
Arise

We the people of the United States of America have set forth a precedence to say
"We will no longer allow the rich to prosper, while the poor decline"
We're taking back our America
We the people of the United States of America have set forth a precedence to say that
"There is something more to the 1 out of every 5 Americans who will lose their lives to cancer
while accepting a nonprogressive treatment that only diverts the funds for a cure"
Welcome to our America

Another fucking lie
To bring the empires to ashes, empire to ashes
New world order

[Cerebral Blackout]
Focus in closer, until I am clear
Psychotic reaction awakens your fear

Remove every shackle and I will annihilate every obstacle in my way
The power of many, I am infamy, I have the strength to eliminate
Those who'd contest me are fucking crazy, they diserve every move that I make
I'm shattering backbones safe is no one from this animal in this cage

Persistance is all
It's time for the last call
Persistance is all
Get up off your fall
And fight your way out, cerebral blackout
Fight your way out, cerebral blackout

I will never change my life to be blind from all the things I know to be right
People are dying, murdered inside of this capitalistic society
Slaves to a system that don't listen to the voice of reasoning
It's an adrenaline headrush cerebral mindfuck defeating the odds in a toxic state

Visions and images scarring my mind
Through my veins a change is racing to life
I'm caged like an animal kept behind bars
Imprisoned by judgment while the rest go unscarred
It's a cerebral blackout, fuck all your handouts

[Cosmetic Emanation]
It's on the rise
And they won't fight fair
They'll take it all

Get what you can so cash in your chips
You'll need it for your front
Don't be a stranger to infected knives
They will carve out your new soul
You'll be accredited all that you're worth
Though you've paid considerably less
All the frustration collected by tears
Impales upon your self-worth
Ridicule, masquerade, just take aim

I'll fight for what I believe
And tell all so they can see
That this world is full of selfishness
Ridicule, masquerade, so be afraid

Are there any limitations to your quest to gain their acceptance
Why can't you just live with yourself and be proud of who you are
Set aside their expensive expectations, never feed off the words of others
When all is said and done, beauty cannot be created by man

Save all your loved ones and abandon ship
For it's all coming down to the wire
The evil's persistant on gaining control
Making all of the world its empire
We're living for money and personal greed
So look at the chaos you've caused
So you go your own way and leave me behind
Not knowing what we have become

[Deconstructing A Gift]
Family
I feel that I have had the life sucked out of me
You never loved me, used me until there was nothing there
How could I have trusted you, how could I have loved you
You've done nothing, you can't hurt me
I've done nothing but loved you, I hate your fucking guts

I get my heart back, you get my nutsack
Unfaithful temptress threw away all this
Ungrateful whore, ungrateful whore
Liar, slut, liar, slut, liar slut
What do you say to that you little fucking bitch

What the fuck did I ever do to you
Have you lost your fucking mind
357 reasons why I need you out of my life
Sheltering behind your world of lies
I gave you everything
All that I had to give to watch you walk away
I'll cut your fucking ass up and use you for fishing bait
And I'll breathe again someday, whore, whore, slut, slut

[The Delphi Technique]
Mulit-national sitcom ratings are ineffiecient and self-defacing
Poisoning my human relations with multiconglomerate prisions
(And it is a prison)
Tearing down our social structure of the foundation that is under
Construction to build you a scandal right through your television
(supplying the poison)

It's built to control your mind, to keep us all locked up inside
(follow)
Cause we're forced to follow, can you imagine the horror
Some die when asking when asking, "why"
We all must see through its disguise
(follow)
Cause it's hard to swallow we won't survive much longer if we don't

Attack, extreme hostility
Attack, extreme hostility

International peace proceedings are televised with a small mind speaking
In a language not understanding that they are raping our freedom
(release our freedom)
So hail to the theif while he rapes and plunders and excavates forcing us under
Into submission for another plaugue in our human relations
(that is gang related)

Our human race is dying, evolution failing
Ignorance increasing, alliances dividing

[Fish. Fight. Fuck.]
So, what the fuck is it you want from me
Blood from my heart draining my inner strength
I need a place secluded from the world
Beyond all the troubles, beyond your control
Don't try and tell me what a real man does
To occupy my time, I load up the truck
There is something that you must understand
I do what I want, I'm a grown-ass man that likes to

Fish. Fight. Fuck.
I'll never pay you a dime to
Fish. Fight. Fuck.

(your dumbass needs to get a fuckin' clue)

So, weekend comes and she's starting to bitch
Telling me it's either her or the fish
What's the point to all the grief and dispair
Open your legs and let me in there
Don't try to tell me what a real man does
Shut the fuck up, get your ass in the truck
Better yet, you can just leave me alone
I'll fuck you tomorrow, if I come home i like to

(you don't believe me, come fuckin' try me)

I gotta bite, so bite me
I gotta bite, so suck me
I gotta bite, so fuck me

[Industry Of Manipulation]
They're out for blood, defend yourself
Cover your tracks, from further attacks
During the flood, the message was lost
They're out to infect, with ignorance
(riot music)

I won't discard, I've worked too hard for this
And I'll never bow down to any type of corporate slut

Return what's normal
(return, return)
Return what's ours
(return to us what's right)
Don't you ever give in

Comprehension is lost, for them all
Give me the strength, I've learned to stand tall
And bring them a war, they've already lost
Defeating the eye, at every cost

(to free our hearts and minds)

No regrets, fuck all your trends
No regrets, the underground wins

[Junkies And Freaks]
Hard life, insane, deadbeat waste of society
(with every fiber of my being)

I know the blood that pulses through my veins
(carries my bloodline)
I never forgot where I came from
(I come from a junkie's loins)
Let there not be one less foe to challenge my demise
A knowledge to attack the addiction I chose not to hide
(my enemy)

Long live the life of the
(bravest of hearts rewards you no merit)
Slaves to the freak
(I could never contain the persistance with)
Confidence, pain and strength
(To my friends I pledge my allegiance)
Until the day I die

Let it be said as many have written
Junkies and freaks shall inherit the earth
Day by day it engulfs my existence
Junkies and freaks shall inherit the earth

Harness all your energy
(ready for the fight)
If you falter, arise a martyr
(make all your wrongs right)
Broken soul and broken backbone
(kept you depleted)
Cast your bones, mend your wounds to rise and fight again
(my enemy)

Ah, it's a lethal injection of satisfaction
(it's got me fiended like a crackwhore)
Mind-shattering backbones, a mental overload
(it's got me fiended like a crackwhore)

And I want more...

[On Your Knees (A Profit)]
Woah, we took it to the masses
Well the masses threw it away
Uneducated mindset. they're blinded
By their illusion of fortune and fame
I surrender my battle
I wage war on the human race
They're being led like cattle
Living vicariously through a king that says...

"All is not lost"
Save your breath because the damage has been done
Ashes turn to dust
We walk the crippled earth
Serving a false king
That's just the way they want you
On your knees

I can't believe what I'm seeing
Can't believe what I'm hearing
Day in, day out the same bullshit
Just keeps on playing
We presented a gift
We tried sharing it with the world
We watch them build their barriers
To keep us out because our message is in blood
We are the voices united
We are the voices that go unheard
We are the ones that go on tortured
To overcome and rise above they say...

(sucking a dick for a profit)
Don't you ever sell out
On your knees

[Sheep To The Slaughter]
We're all under fire, we're all being exposed
Sewing the seeds of hatred, policing the globe
We're only on paper, numbered by the law
Of a selfish system, that wants to see us fall
We're all prisoners of authority and we're all serving their time
And we're being convicted, but not a one of us committed a crime
They are the voices of conformity and they are whispering in our ear
Feeding me insecurity with a daily dose of fear
The prison's in progress, built without the walls
No chains to hold you, invisible to all
Only for a profit to feed the machine
How much will be enough
How much do they need
They're the eyes of society and they are always in our view
They hear our every sentence and watch our every move
We're all free to express ourselves, but be careful of what you say
For all your freedoms and liberties can be easily taken away
It ends now

Betrayed by our fathers, we are sheep to the slaughter

Crush the opposition controling me
I've chosen my position standing on blood-stained streets
You can never capture what's inside of me
I shall never falter, I cannot retreat
We're all victims of a selfish system that's built to keep us blind
The truth eludes the masses, the truth they cannot hide
What is the point to all the secrecy, are they afraid of what we'll find
United we stand, on the ground that they divide

Listen to the voices of tomorrow
We can't be lead to prosper drinking blood for water

Betrayed by our fathers, sheep to the slaughter
Our world under fire, sheep to the slaughter

[Taking A Stand]
In the shadows of our lives, it hides its ugly face
(impartial to the ones at stake)
Between the red cells and the white, an imbalance causes pain
(it left us lost and cast away)

We take a stand in our lives...

Visions of you pass through my mind, how your smile could light the way
(through the dark clouds and the rain)
It's not fair to lose the lives of such a pure and sweet embrace
(a mother's love, a cousin's faith)

But there's no future, in our lives...
(say hello to heaven for me, I couldn't stand to watch you suffer)
But there's no future, we take a stand in our lives...

Mother can you hear me now, I have something that I must say
(I've lost another close to me)
Mom and Dad stand by her side as the cancer takes her away
(but she'll peace in eternity)

One day the ground will crack and break free
We all dream to escape our settings
No one can ever take our memories
Rise up with open arms, embrace me

[Tough Metal Song]
Think you know, but you don't know a damn thing you run your mouth
When I'm not around for me to hear that shit you say go on in fear

Manmade virus spreading disease, Manmade virus spreading disease
Say it to my fucking (face)

So you think you know me, well I bet you don't
You won't dare to cross that line, you won't be the one to judge me
Fuck the book and the cover, read what's inside
I never had a damn thing to lose never had that much to hide

I'm more than a man than you could ever be
Inside it's confidence and it's giving me strength
Keeping on pushing me and watch me unfold
Unleashing this anger I hide from the world

We cannot get along, let's fucking set it off
You'll pulled the shortest straw, let's fucking set it off

So you wanna push me, well I bet you don't
Cause I'm not responsible for these actions that you've chosen
I say the same things what's on my mind
And I never will believe it and I never could conceive it if it didn't hit between the eyes

Set it off, let's fucking set it off
