- Barren
How do we think we are the most intellectual creature that ever walked the Earth,
But we are destroying and polluting and damaging the futures of other species?
How come then, this so intellectual being is destroying its only home?
Because we only have the one home.
Melted down,
We live to waste.
Denial breathes decay.
- Caving
my life leaks away groan by groan. my years are fading in sighs.i am growing weary.i am growing weary. they want to blot me from their memory. forget me like a corpse in a grave. throw me out with the scraps. behind doors they plot to ruin me. and i'll be honest with you, it's caving in on me. i been breaking through walls to get free. neck deep in this sinking sand. i will no longer run but my trust will remain in everlasting. your hands hold my days. embarrass the wicked. stand them up. leave them shaking their heads. as they drift down to hell. gag the loudmouthed liars who heckle me, your follower. slam the door on those oily, mocking faces. silence the venom of gossip. i cannot go it alone. the world is caving in on me.
- Humane
We will bring fire to the empires. The imperial, they won’t prevail.
We will raise. Raise that banner above it all. While they weep and wail.
And we turn our heads and look away.
Redemptive violence, take a seat right where you stand.
Humanity, we are destroying ourselves again. (ourselves again)
Humanity, we are destroying ourselves. Humanity, we are destroying ourselves.
And I am no longer possessed by my possessions, that have costs behind my eyes.
- Hurt
I hurt myself today to see if I still feel.
I focus on the pain, the only thing that’s real.
The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting.
Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything.
What have I become my sweetest friend?
Everyone I know goes away in the end.
And you could have it all. My empire of dirt.
- Live Today
I’m gonna live today, live to make a change.
There’s comes a time in every life when it’s time to move on.
and well hey, that what it is today, it’s time to make a change.
I was never awake, just dreaming of the days
- Manifest
My ego lives in fear, it thrives on approval.
Mask blinding spirit, hiding the unknown.
Consciousness misled until the removal.
I'll never understand without letting go.
Afraid of silence and the truth it might tell.
Instead of facing my soul, I distract myself.
Illuminate each day, set free from the past.
I shed my body and manifest.
- Monumental Part II
The world is in pieces, it’s falling apart.
Our lives are being shut down.
Years gone by. When will we try not living for ourselves, not living for man.
The world... the world I see in front of me is full of things that should not be.
(That should not be)
When will we change? When will we see who we are living for?
- Ruin
When it all bows to darkness
Natural Justice will be served
The only truth we can fathom,
Is the judgment of the earth
Water will try to drown itself,
Fire will try to burn, and what we take for granted, will take us in return.
Woe to us thieves!
We, we've stolen our children's souls.
- Savages
It's time we question the things we've ignored
Ravage the blood-bought wealth they've stored
Through genocide
Spirits of the wicked
You stack bills, they stack bodies
Numb to empathy
Spirits of the wicked
- Shine
we are tattered men. nothing but mirrors of the walls we've built. i've built a high gate and i've invited destruction. bruised and broken by my self-righteousness. i can't go without letting my self down. we cannot win alone. we're coming up dry, our necks flush. we've been staring at our crowns. we've abandoned something up above. i am nothing without the men who walked before me. i'm broken by my own pride. my self-hate. bring a plague to my pride. let me know i am nothing. oh there are no arms as big as Yours. let us unite in the fact that we are nothing. let us float into the dusk, united. we are going to let it shine. let us shine. let me shine. we will shine.
- Sinking
It's so hard to make an effort,
To keep my surroundings in line.
When sometimes, I can't do it for myself.
I confess: I'm not the man I proclaim.
My feet, my feet are sinking
Into the mire beneath me, the mire, the mire beneath me.
I can't help but notice the endless battle for air
- Soul
If I had a fist for every time I've been trapped, I'd fight my way out and I'd never look back.
I'm lying down in the darkest places. I'm losing touch. I can't see faces.
I feel like I'm alone, am I alone?
Dreams never come when I feel this way. I am a victim to everything around me.
They present deceit, packaged with lies, and try to unravel my demise.
I have to drive them out of my life. Pull the trigger on oppression. I'm ready to fight.
- Weathered Town
Looking in the rear-view mirror at everything that I’m leaving behind.
I know this is right, I know it’s my time.
Now is my time to escape this weathered town and what this place is all about.
I’ve gotta get out of here, but the memories I’ll take with me.
Everywhere I go, to everyone I know. These memories will stay with me.
To escape this weathered town and what this place is all about.
These memories will stay with me... will stay... will stay with me.
- Willows
Why am I wasting my time pleasing people around me? I'm sick of waiting around for nothing why am I wasting my time? I will not build my legacy on earth my legacy will not be of this world I will not build my legacy on earth my legacy will be too large for this soil my whole life I've been compared to people around me expectations on my shoulder and people to please I will no longer sway with the willows I will stand strong on my own when everyone lets me down I will stand strong alone I will stand strong alone and when the winds hurl, I will not move I'm destined for greatness I'll see it through we will see this through
