I know your game I’ve heard it all Another misplaced word It’s time to make the call Your time is up I’ve had enough The clock is ticking and You’ll find that I don’t bluff Face me and see Reality Come crashing down From all around Life as you know Will cease to be You’ll rue the day You ever met me I’ll overcome Anything you throw at me I’ll overcome Everything I face I’ll overcome All of this and more I’ll overcome Anything you have in store Your talk is weak Won’t work on me The ones you’ve tricked have been Unable to see Through your thin veil Of lies and deceit I have a lesson for you I’ll teach you of defeat Face me and see Reality Come crashing down From all around Life as you know Will cease to be You’ll rue the day You ever met me I’ll overcome Anything you throw at me I’ll over come Everything I face I’ll overcome All of this and more I’ll overcome Anything you have in store

I Am Inside 05:35
Lost in darkness and all alone In a cave of blood and stone Deep beneath, you feel the pull Down below, you dare to roam With every step you take The ground it breathes and quakes You only start to know What truly lies below Don’t stop, keep moving on Move. Push. Don’t turn back, push ahead Move. Push. The path before you leads Move. Push. Onward to your demise I’ve come for you I am the path you walk I am inside Your evil ways have unlocked my cage I will not die Now you’re mine, I’m in control I own your mind, I’ve got your soul Now with me, you’re never alone You are my vessel, my new home I command and you obey Move. Push. You must do what I say I’ve come for you I am the path you walk I am inside Your evil ways have unlocked my cage I will not die

When did I become a waste of your time When did you begin to hate what is mine? You never really told me you always kept it to yourself I would rather die than live false as someone else And now the time has come for me to stand up on my own To find inside myself the strength and will to carry on The only way I know of how to block the pain Killing expectations makes me free again My shackles tightened With every move I made So I relaxed completely Until I just let go Liberate your mind from suffering Don't expect in life a single thing Break them down make room for tomorrow End your pain make life from sorrow I will never again lose faith in what's mine I have got all and more than before. In my time And now that I have found the strength to stand up on my own I have the knowledge that was never locked away Just open up and don't lie down when inner demons rise Face them with your angels and don't hide Liberate your mind from suffering Don't expect that you are on your own Free your mind, live for tomorrow End your pain make life from sorrow My shackles broken With the help from you We can relax completely We can just let go Liberate your mind from suffering Don't expect that you are on your own Free your mind, live for tomorrow End your pain make life from sorrow

Stand Strong 05:21
Our heroes arrive, they've come just in time The heroes in blue put them back in the line With striking justice and firey rage They beat them down, no need to cage If we end them here, the land will be clear The evil defeated no living in fear The crash of heads and the thumping down The bodies laid out on the ground Where is too far? What stage is enough? This is where we are There has been too much They've been working to tame you Victimize and shame you Our lives will be fulfilled Our voices can never be killed Alive at the scene, they're twisted and mean Our heroes have lost all control Brutal, obscene, the cameras wiped clean This power has taken its toll They march and they fight, through days and through nights They struggle to retain it all The people rise up, and take back what's right True blue rising up with them all Where is too far? What stage is enough? This is where we are There has been too much They've been working to tame you Victimize and shame you Our lives will be fulfilled Our voices can never be killed We'll take back our way, we will seize the day We'll fight on to restore our land Never again, we'll never befriend Brutality as a means to an end

A nationwide mass suicide Unfolding right before our eyes A cult of thousands chasing death Believing they hold the righteous might Making sure they all stay in sight Slowly running out of breath The lies and hatred can be quelled from all the land Act now and don't back down, don't cower, take a stand It's just a matter of time It's just a question of when You have the chance to resist A chance to rebuild again Now you put in your all But it's in the wrong place And you're suffering's seen On your body and face A string of death added to the toll Another endless night unfolds Running out of hope and care The struggle to make a struggle The trouble to create trouble Inner weakness soon laid bare Help fill our coffers and we'll make you rich as well Make every step for them resemble life in hell It's just a matter of time It's just a question of when You have the chance to resist A chance to rebuild again Now you put in your all But it's in the wrong place And you're suffering's seen On your body and face

You looked into my eyes and should have been my friend, instead You charged towards an unarmed group with weapons drawn We didn’t fight, you showed your might – this must be make believe You smash our face, spray us with mace, and all we want is peace We will unite we will resist Defend against your iron fist We’ll never bend we’ll never bow Our revolution begins now We will arise the strength inside to take it back You’re met with open arms we’re met with an attack You claim it’s self-defence, and shoot us in the head You claim it’s self-defence even after we are dead We will unite we will resist Defend against your iron fist We’ll never bend we’ll never bow Our revolution begins now We will never forsaken, our virtues, our values, our souls We will not create violence, we’ll rebuild and fill in the holes They will not be forgotten, the ones who ignited it all We will fight in their honour, the system is going to fall We know your game We know your call You’re all corrupt Soon you will fall We will be back On level terms We’ll dig you out The rot and worms Your empty words And empty hearts Trying to tear Our lives apart Leaving all of The world to see You are our pain And misery You’re never lost if you have but an ounce of hope inside We’ll fight with you, you matter too, so do not hide Join with us now and help us free all of our lives from hate Let’s make this quick and not delay, we command our fate We will unite we will resist Defend against your iron fist We’ll never bend we’ll never bow Our revolution begins now We will never forsaken, our virtues, our values, our souls We will not create violence, we’ll rebuild and fill in the holes They will not be forgotten, the ones who ignited it all We will fight in their honour, the system is going to fall

Chosen one 05:13
Deep in the past Beneath the sands of time An ancient vision Of a land not at war A history We hope we can repeat The peace inside We have tried to restore Our tendencies to stay Nonviolent drifts away When fear and hate is stirred Morality is blurred And soon you will find Your life left behind We will move on and do What we must without you Now you have got to try to find a way You're running out of time The answers are all around Just use your eyes, and see for yourself Excuses, words washed away Meaningless, all that you say Ignorance, no hope for bliss Intolerance, it is time to resist We call to you, chosen one Give us your strength, thy will be done With peace at heart, we'll manifest A peaceful time, with no unrest Unite our voice, make us all one I am the peace, I am Legion I am the truth, for which you seek I am the strength, for all the weak If we are one, then there cannot be war Is this not what you have all worked so hard for? Assimilate, and join with me, my friend Assimilate, and let's make this the end We call to you, chosen one Give us your strength, thy will be done With peace at heart, we'll manifest A peaceful time, with no unrest Unite our voice, make us all one I am the peace, I am Legion I am the truth, for which you seek I am the strength, for all the weak

This shroud has covered all the land Created not by beast but by man We were supposed to be the stewards of the earth A blind eye turned for far too long We thought our experts all to be wrong We set our course and sealed our fate long ago Still we must not relent We haven't lost. Not yet. Join me, raise your gaze up high Above, see the burning sky Our home, filled with ash and death We will, fight for every breath We have the power to restart We have the will and every part We are the blueprints to a better life The final chapter could be soon A blackened night without the moon We are the darkness we are the strife Still we must not relent We haven't lost. Not yet. Join me, raise your gaze up high Above, see the burning sky Our home, filled with ash and death We will, fight for every breath

You'll never know the true extent of it The pain and anguish that you've caused Twisting of memories to suit your needs The bloodlines you have stopped and paused The slayer of the weak, the killer of the cause Usurper of peace, extinguisher of laws Anarchy for most, order for the few Choosing who gets what, the feast is all for you (You) consume and waste, destroying all the land Consumed by hate, we'll never understand Relentless quest to reach up to the stars To be the god you've always claimed you are A dead faced liar preaching tolerance Cooperation with the damned Untrained eyes and ears all fall for it The flame of ignorance is fanned Tormentor of the weak, betrayer of the cause Usurper of peace, extinguisher of laws Anarchy for most, order for the few Choosing who gets what, the feast is all for you (You) consume and waste, destroying all the land Consumed by hate, we'll never understand Relentless quest to reach up to the stars To be the god you've always claimed you are
