Declination

That which does rise will fall
Rise like the phoenix, bring new civilizations
Make room for new life to form
I've seen the western world decline, it's been wasted
No hope, mankind must evolve
Creates more friction, a kick start to the system
Weak are the wise man's words,
Far from design, we've become the contradiction
The infrastructure is flawed
The beast, it's got to be put down, if we will ever rise up
We've come too far, still underground, and we've had enough
we've come to leave and now it's gone
land of the free, it's just costs more
mark of the beast, it is reborn
the cause for peace, it brings forth war
You’re seeking peace, your utopian creation
But you fail to readjust
The going rate of debt, you’re left here to face it
No bail out, headed for bust
Far from design, we've become the contradiction
The infrastructure is flawed
The beast, it's got to be put down, if we will ever rise up
We've come too far, still underground, and we've had enough

Restore The Truth
03:32
|
|

Relive the lie that's bred at birth, forget the past that's pained us
Come clean, confess, it could be worse, strive to survive and conquer
It's like we're reaching for something in the dark
You've paid a price to forgive, you're not the only one cause I...
We're one step over the edge, cause we've got nothing to lose
We're one step closer to reaching something new
We ask for some kind of healing, still we push the knife through
How much more can we destroy to restore the truth
Stripped to the bone, you break the curse, no chains could ever hold us
We fight, despite what fate comes first, integrity & honor
It's like we're reaching for something in the dark
You've paid a price to forgive, you're not the only one cause I...

No Words
04:22
|

By force or fraud, they will fight, supermajority wins
Unconstitutional mob, yet repressed souls seek revenge
Pervading evil of men, of one democracy’s end
Intolerance for the law which does not apply to them
One nation under your God. Thrown in the street like a dog
Collect the funds and move on. There’s no freedom for the poor
No words and no more scapegoats to post your blame
We’re nameless like the others you’ve thrown away
You kick us when we’re down and you walk away
The scars only remind us we have no place
Some of us don’t have a choice. We take just what we can get
You try to silence our voice, without a spine you can’t stand
The Bill of Rights is a scam, created for enslavement
We thought we might have a chance in what you call the Heartland
Chorus
I curse the white man in spades: Demigod
Everyone knows cash is king: Revolt
Diabolical warfare, not for the welfare of man
We shall not be moved
Chorus

Song for the Lost
05:06
|
|||
Symbol of Life,
To save face, you keep the faith. It's the American way
I'll do my best to keep the fire burning
In fact, it's only a game, you only win if you play
You lost it all before you even started
Failure and Sorrow: The only company a cynic ever needs
Heartless and Hollow: I find my solace in the endless suffering
Icon of cruelty kills like cancer, but can never control...
The weak and envious of lesser gods that do what they're told
A sign, a symbol of loss (I mourn and hold back the flood of tears)
I still struggle to hold you here (struggle to hold you)
As I wait here for you, it's only right that I suffer (suffer here)
And face the wolves at my door and sing a song for the lost
Symbol of life, it’s a waste. Clasping the hands of disgrace
Sinking below, there is no higher learning
Censor the words that you say. Take the regret to your grave
It’s all the same, you’re holding onto heartache
Failure and Sorrow: The only company a cynic ever needs
Heartless and Hollow: I find my solace in the endless suffering
Icon of cruelty kills like cancer, but can never control...
Chorus

Fear Takes Control
04:07
|
|||
Determine, design. A continuous lapse of time
Disorder, define. Assimilation or the need to survive
Involve the senses, your heartbeat revived
To curse the kill just to cure what is mine
At risk, you’re bound to face the great divide
An acquisition of the pain that resides
Hardwired, born with the disease. Conspire, brought us to our knees
The conditional response. Post traumatic, manipulation
Trace the dark corners of your mind, but you’re not afraid to die
With every daylight, a new tragedy. Destiny’s demise
You still return to the scene of the crime
Convincing yourself revenge is justified
I beg to differ, you could take my side
For once, you’d change and see the world through my eyes
The conditional response. Post traumatic, manipulation
Trace the dark corners of your mind, but you’re not afraid to die
With every daylight, a new tragedy. Destiny’s demise
A distant memory, will you remember me?
Or just push me aside...
Beware of what you trust the most – fear takes control
Say your prayers, your day of judgement calling
Fear takes control
Chorus

Foreshadow
03:26
|
|||
To calculate the shame and mistrust, one must first lose it all
Reality of life is unjust; self-deception is the goal
You’ve proven to be predictable
You’re such a bore, you celebrate the hurt
With nothing left, you weather the storm, it’s all gone wrong
Foreshadow what you’ve become
Malevolent in your every move, the most sinister of all
It’s such a sad scene, you play the fool
On your hands and knees, you crawl
Chorus
The street lights help you along, but there’s no way back home that you can see
And as far as I can tell, you’ve done this to yourself - for the sake of sympathy
It’s all just a show, writing’s on the wall
You’re waiting to take your turn
Just let it all go, everything you are
Foreshadow what you’ve become
Chorus

Idol of One
04:22
|
|||
Look for any excuse for the old crying game
Shut out everyone else
They sustain your abuse, every day is the same
Until there’s nothing left
You brand the one’s that you love - never to think twice
If that fails, you’re on the run - you call that a sacrifice?
To take the prize, you act in your masquerade
Such a pretentious display, you’re done
You stand for nothing, a puppet on a string
The little boy king without a crown – applaud the idol of one
It’s the life that you choose, the lonely streets of fame
Take a look at yourself
You brand the one’s that you love - never to think twice
If that fails, you’re on the run - you call that a sacrifice?
Chorus

Start Making Sense
04:02
|

Shadows of an old familiar world
Reduced to nothing more than a number
They live in chains and die in the darkness
Then swept under the rug and forgotten
We all are prisoners of war
Remnants of what man has done
You took advantage of my youth & my innocence
You tortured me for my mistakes & my ignorance
Should I surrender to the grief & the punishment?
When will you open your mind? When will you start making sense?
There’s no easy answers yet. Future forward, two steps back
Relive each nightmare again. When will you start making sense?
Dehumanized, they don’t know who they are
The crime demands a crucifixion
Through bondage and starvation, they thirst for blood
Forced labor slavery, they’re disposable
Chorus
There’s no easy answers yet. Future forward, two steps back
Relive each nightmare again. When will you start making sense?
Chorus

Safe Inside
04:32
|
|||
If ever you see pieces of me, twist into form, become no one
Please walk through my dreams and help me find peace
I’d give you the world if I had one
Safe inside, hopelessly lost in the sound
You can’t hide, you can’t hide
Safe inside, hopelessly lost in the sound
You can’t hide, your black painted eyes
Simple psychology, heal this sickness in me
Become one with your pain, your devotion
What you’ve waited for – but you’re empty just the same
Traded love for lust and give you your personal walk of shame
Chorus
Devoid, emerge, from the child that you were
Reborn, expose, your new self to the world
Chorus

Nothing Else is Real
05:42
|
|||
Just be yourself, let the rest dictate the life that you live
If you fail to exist, pretend you’re somebody else
Your muse, your true love is dead, watch it slip through your hands
Search but nothing is left, but the demons in your head
So simple & so fragile, we are much more
Than simply chemicals, we’re flesh and blood
The stones that you throw pierce the foundation I’ve built
But that cannot compare to the pain I feel
Start over again, shed my skin.
Find a will to live, discover nothing else is real
Betray yourself with no help, you are your worst enemy
From the depths of your hell, you’ve built your own prison cell
Defeated by your despair, one step closer to death
With nothing more to give, you know there’s no turning back
Wear a new face but you can’t look away from the truth
Hating myself for believing you cared
Knife in the back and I hope that you know that we’re through
See through the eyes of a sad broken man
Chorus
There’s got to be something, it’s better than nothing
If it leads to something more...
I wear the blood on my sleeve, blood from the heart that still bleeds
Chorus
