Power Grab
01:51
|
|||
|
It's time that you thought this through
And critical you understand
They're not going to stop at anything
Until the power is in their hands
"It's justice", so you say
I've heard it many times before
But whenever this mindset takes control
We're much worse off than we were
I know you're sensing something wrong
But you love the shelter of the crowd
Eventually there'll be a time that comes
When that crowd decides to turn on you
"It's justice", so you say
I've heard it many times before
But whenever this mindset takes control
We're much worse off than we were
Let it go
You've had your moment
Now let's stop this shit from going too far
I know your ego wants to hold it
But it's dragging you down
To a level of obsession
That's corrupting your mind

State of Panic
02:01
|
|||
|
I'm done, I've had it
I've watched this go on for way too long
This state of panic has cost us all
Take a moment to reflect
I'm sick and tired of all the cries
Tell me where it ends
Your faith in liars has cost us all
Take a moment to reflect
What grants you the qualifications
That make you so fucking bold
To barge in on a conversation
Aimed at bringing us a better world?
Reflect

Believers
04:24
|

|
Are you listening to what they've said?
Are you questioning these things you've read?
Is it so so hard to see these mantras
Are simply meant to break you down?
I want know when my thinking's wrong
Not good enough to just belong
For something
I believe
How long do you plan on playing the fool?
Can you last a lifetime under these rules?
Is it so hard to see these mantras
Are simply meant to break you down?
I want know when my thinking's wrong
Not good enough to just belong
For something
I believe
You're holding poison in a cup
Acting like you've found the holy grail
Is it so hard to see these mantras
Are simply meant to break you down?
I want know when my thinking's wrong
Not good enough to just belong
For something
I believe

Hostage
02:43
|
|||
|
It's all around us
And further it grows
No way to escape it
No place to go
Better to face it
Up on your two feet
Since there's no surrender
When what others want
Is for you to grant them
Dominion over your thoughts
There's no way
To let this be
It's going to find you
Just wait and see
Better to face it
Up on your two feet
Since there's no surrender
When what others want
Is for you to grant them
Dominion over your thoughts
Don't wait to
Neutralize this blight
Otherwise you can count on it
To suffocate the light
And if you're asking
"What can I do?"
Stop being a hostage
Stand up and speak the truth

Take the Time
03:03
|
|||
|
Take the time
To listen to what you have said
Is this something
That one day you'll come to regret?
Talk is cheap
And no one is buying
What you've been selling
It's absent of value
Take the time
To listen to what you have said
Take the time
To listen to what you have said
Is this something
Once challenged you'll come to regret?
Talk is cheap
And no one is buying
What you've been selling
It's absent of value
Take the time
To listen to what you have said
Take the time

The Signal
03:15
|
|||
|
I've had this vision for far too long
And it's taking everything to hold on
Trapped in a signal up against the noise
If it's to make it out,
It falls on me to boost it up
This conversation comes with a cost
And it's taking everything to hold on
Trapped in a signal up against the noise
If it's to make it out,
It falls on me to boost it up

The Hunger
01:56
|
|||
|
They're all loving what you're about
Still, it haunts you
It's never managed to ease your doubts
Still, it haunts you
How can one think this is the way
When still, it haunts you now?
They've found your critics and tore them down
Still, it haunts you
Detractors cornered and booted out
Still, it haunts you
How can one think this is the way
When still, it haunts you now?
I can tell that you've been suffering
For the longest time
Yet you keep pluging into it
With diminished returns
You say that this consumption
Is gonna cost you your life
So maybe it's about the time to ask yourself
Am I willing to fight the Hunger?

Infected
03:53
|
|||
|
We could sense it coming
There was something in the air
Now we see the symptoms
Have surfaced everywhere
Infected
Right to the core
Infected
With other's lies
Infected
Must find a cure in time
As the population
Is brought down to it's knees
We risk contamination
Of our foremost beliefs
Infected
Right to the core
Infected
With other's lies
Infected
Must find a cure in time

Gaslighter
02:29
|
|||
|
I know what I've seen
Despite what tales you try to tell
It's so clear to me
There's no doubt as to where I stand
Words meant to deceive
Are what you chose to hide behind
They won't derange me
There's no doubt as to where I stand
Deny everything I've said
To clarify my point of view
But once it's time for you to do the same
We come to learn
Without fail
You'll poison the well
Everytime you're up against the truth
This madness
Stops with you
|

Race to Submission
02:40
|
|||
|
I see what stands before me
And won't deny its glow
You question my resistance
As if I were a fool
I'm clear on your position
But will it last the whole way through?
Race to submission
Eyes on your short term goals
I can't ignore this pattern
That's branded on our souls
My eyes are fixed upon it
It's serves our better goals
I'm clear on your position
But will it last the whole way through?
Some will chase the moment's highs
As if they're in the know
Yet time and time and time again
I've watched them come and go
I'm clear on your position
But will it last the whole way through?
Race to submission
Eyes on your short term goals
Race to submission
But will it last the whole way through?

Witch Hunter
04:07
|
|||
|
Fingers wrapped around your righteous torch
The flames dance around in your eyes
This wounded snake living in your heart
Has finally found the perfect moment to rise
I doubt justice
Is your concern
Witch hunter
Wants it to burn
Do you care to find a solution
For those in distress?
Or is your hunger for the destruction
For the ones who hold views you refuse to accept?
And I don't buy these sudden words of compassion
You've failed to utter before
Let's just face it, you've been looking to hide
Behind issues that distract us from your poisonous core
I doubt justice
Is your concern
Witch hunter
Wants it to burn
I doubt justice
Is your concern
Witch hunter
Just wants to watch it burn

Identified Patient
01:23
|
|||
|
I'm not willing to cover up the truth
That those all around me deny
You say that I'm crazy but in time you'll see
That you're the one who's been living the lie
|

In Plain Sight
03:48
|
|||
|
Instigator I see what you are
From that look in your eyes
You're no shepherd, just a wolf amongst sheep
They blindly follow your lies
Don't think that you've managed to win this fight
Because every time you try to gain some ground
You show us what you've been hiding
In plain sight
Instigator I hear what you are
From the sound of your cries
You're no shepherd, just a wolf amongst sheep
They blindly follow your lies
Don't think that you've managed to win this fight
Because every time you try to gain some ground
You show us what you've been hiding
In plain sight
All of the minds you've corrupted are in plain sight
All the lives you've disrupted are in plain sight
All this pointless destruction is in plain sight
