The Swamps

We toss 'em in the swamps, We toss 'em in the swamps
Cause their bodies mean nothing once their hearts have stopped
Your fires won't stop us, Your fires won't stop us on the run
How our feet can fly when we race the sun
We toss 'em to the sharks, Toss 'em to the sharks
They're the table scraps of our world collapsed
We don't like you, we don't like your friends
Everything you do makes us fucking sick
If we had it our way you'd be stoned to death
By a million motherfuckers with our sentiments

Rebuild

We can be the ruiner and ruin her We don't have to ask permission,
When we're on the move, the world won't know what hit it
We can be the force of wrong, the hand that holds the knife
We are the imbalance to throw it all off
So strike your match, watch dominoes burn
We are the wrecking ball, the train off it's tracks
We are the chaos that ensues
We will not
We Will Not Rebuild
Your justice holds no weight here, bearing is lost
We can be the finish to their start
Crushing come the blows now, only audible the crash
How it's deafening, not the sounds of a revolution
The explosion of the end
We will not

Tradeoff

|
This betrayal, this monstrosity
How can we go on living under this rule, under these rules
We're giving up our freedom so they say that they'll protect us from fucking who
When the only one that scares me is you
These days we sacrifice everything for a promise of safety, but we still live in fear
Fear of things we do not know, fear of things we can't control
We lost control
This betrayal, it's a travesty
If they don't trust you you can't trust them
It's not the way it has to be
They can earn it back and make it right
Dollar signs flash in their eyes
They're protecting their interests
So we must do the same

Slaves

We slave oh we slave oh we slave
All of our lives
Day to day the nine to five drives us fucking wild
We're cultured and programmed to do what we're told in this hell hole
On the way home we sit in the filth of the traffic with nothing to show
The wind blows cold on the skin of a man who's been burned by the trials of time
On the dark grey day when he meets his grave he doesn't leave anyone behind
We slave oh we slave oh we slave
All of our lives
Month to month we resolve to change our lives tomorrow
The next day comes and we do what we've done in this routine
You've got to break this cycle and this monsters back You can live how you want so just launch your attack
Break
This monsters back

In the Mourning
03:55
|
|||
|
In the morning when the sun comes up won't you hand me in your tallest tree
So I can look over this land that I once loved
This land that once loved me
In the morning when the sun comes up won't you drown me in your deepest sea
So that the air in my lungs burns as bad as my eyes when I'm looking up from nothing
This is the price that we pay for the crimes we commit
For wanting more than life, wanting to live
|

We stand outside under the stars at night
Stand at the cosmos wondering why
We walk this land and breathe this air
But your answers won't come so when will you stand
And guide yourself to a life that's yours
Not ruled by the hand not governed by the sword
Sure you're alive but can you really live
With the irrational fear of being unforgiven
By the man in the sky your imaginary friend
By the one who's not around again and again
Unless you further their agenda or kick in some change
When you turn your back you're bound to be hanged
That's just the way it goes you're dispensible
There are countless drones who are identicle
You do as you're told and march off the cliffs
Into the swelling seas of indifference
You sink to the bottom as you forget to swim
No worries for the others no struggle for air
Your lips are turning blue, but they're not bothered
They've got your will and all the others'

Animal Revolution
01:55
|
|||
|
The birds are learning and they're planning they'll take back what once was theirs
Animal Revolution in the streets of the cities where the bricks tower over the leaves and the trees
Shadows cast over valleys once bright by the towers of commerce stacked so high give the beast a place to hide
We're hiding in the shadows
All you can do is pass by on your way to work
Maniacs around the corner
Benevolents behind the dumpster
All you can do is pass by on your way to work
You're walking by on your way to work
Glowing eyes from all directions indicating organization
We're coming after you
Closing in with natures force
A mothers love turned to no remorse
Let our ways consume you

What We Need
02:14
|
|||
|
Looking through these shattered windows
At the place I once knew so well
How does everything transform so fast
Everyday it's getting colder
The sunlight is so much shorter
It's a struggle just to make ends meet
What we need
Lies just beyond our reach
We keep fighting for it reaching towards up
What we need
Lies just beyond our grasp
Our fingertips keep inching ever closer
We're getting close
Walking through these tortured streets
So many people so much greed
The wealth accumulates for just a few
So we work our dead end jobs
Scrape by at the end of the month
We live to go to work another day
One day we'll have it all
Have a place to call our own
Something to show for our weathered hands
One day we'll laugh it off
Looking back from the top of the world
At everything we worked so hard for for so long
