Until It’s Over
This is a call for you to join a better, more civilized society
I feel it choking me
Using words as a weapon
Predictive tendencies
Don’t mistake my submission for apathy
The master of the show relieves our fears with violent distractions
The propaganda stings my bleeding ears with dogmatic perfection
You can’t fake this and we won’t feed the lie
With what’s at stake, this time we fight or die
You won’t break us and we won’t fall in line
The burn and the strain won’t fade and the pain won’t stop this time
Until it’s over
I can’t wait until this charade is over
Imposing misery
The worst fucking kind of detraction
Sadistic tendencies
Will provoke my reaction to authority
These people represent the greatest threat to our new generation
You are the master
You are the master of control
I can’t wait…
Until you’re dead
You can’t fake this and we won’t feed the lie
With what’s at stake, this time we fight or die
You won’t break us and we won’t fall in line
The burn and the strain won’t fade and the pain won’t stop this time
Until it’s over

The Nobodies
Today I am dirty
I want to be pretty
Tomorrow I know that I’m just dirt
We are the nobodies
Want to be somebodies
When we’re dead, they’ll know just who we are
Yesterday I was dirty
I wanted to be pretty
I know now that I’m forever dirt
We are the nobodies
Want to be somebodies
When we’re dead, they’ll know just who we are
Some children died the other day
We fed machines and then we prayed
Puked up and down in morbid faith
You should have seen the ratings that day
We are the nobodies
Want to be somebodies
When we’re dead, they’ll know just who we are

Beware the Hunters
Beware the hunters are coming
We defend what is right, and what is just
If you choose to fight, we will cut you down
If progress will stand, we all will fall
We defend what is right, and what is just
If you choose to fight, we will cut you down
We defend what is right, and what is just
Together we will build a better mankind

Shattered Eyes
Come to me my son
I will guide you
Come to me my son
I’ll never let you go
Go to your leaders and tell them
we are taking control of your people
We’ll save them
Sitting on high we’ll save their souls
March to the battle drums
You puppets are falling into our hands
And on a stage of broken skulls is where you will stand
Standing on fragile ground I stare
Into the shattered eyes of despair
And this reckoning becomes clear
I am my greatest fear
Go to your leaders and tell them
We are now in control
Revel in this benevolent nonsense
Rebel in this benevolent nonsense
Revel in this benevolent nonsense
nonsense
Standing on fragile ground I stare
Into the shattered eyes of despair
And this reckoning becomes clear
I am my greatest fear
I only wanted to believe
I only wanted to be
I only wanted to believe
I only wanted to be a hero

A Way Through
There is a way through this time
And I’m afraid to leave this all behind
If I find a way to face what I have done
Is there a way to forgive what I’ve become

Hiding Within
Freak
There’s no place to hide
We’re inside your mind
You’ll break down inside
You can’t make me
In this mad cruel world, we’re surrounded by sin
I’ll keep you safe from the affected, those beasts aren’t getting in
Inside this castle of stone, we are safe hiding within
I’ve built these walls for our protection, this shit won’t do us in
nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Freak
It intensifies
We’re eating your mind
You will not survive
You can’t take me
In this mad cruel world, we’re surrounded by sin
I’ll keep you safe from the affected, those beasts aren’t getting in
Inside this castle of stone, we are safe hiding within
I’ve built these walls for our protection, this shit won’t do us in
You can’t hurt me… here
In this mad cruel world, we are safe hiding within
I built these walls for our protection
Now I’m trapped in my own prison

Together We’ve Lost
Searching for reflections
In your wanting eyes
This is so alluring
Was this feeling meant to pass
ha, ahh, ahh
A broken picture frames us in
To another place, another world
One wish could wash away our sins
And we’ll begin again, we could begin again
If I could stop this moment
A frozen instant in time
Then we could stay here forever
Together we’ve crossed a line
ha, ahh, ahh
Searching for perfection
In our haunted lives
This is so confusing
Was this ever meant to last
If I could stop this moment
A frozen instant in time
Then we could stay here forever
Together we’ve crossed a line
Together we’ve lost this time

Directive #1
Directive Number 1
We have determined a solution by force
to ensure peace and order
Society is a privilege
You are entitled to nothing

Heaven’s Gate
Drawing lines, you nine blind devils defend a belief
to teeth and the nails and the sand
An iron hammer to release the will of men
to question why and understand
Leave me
To make my own mistakes and
Teach me
To feel it all and never break
You call it blasphemy
To consider the possibilities
You call it anarchy
To believe in the right I have to be free
So I stand, by my fate
Bound and chained to heaven’s gate
Can I find a way, to let you see
Your twisted words will never be enough for me
With jagged eyes, I defy my masters again and again
and I’m loosing so much skin
I pretend to believe, but you lie and you lie
and the hate crashes down and the innocent die
Leave me
To make my own mistakes and
Teach me
To feel it all and never break
I am falling… I am falling down
You call it blasphemy
To consider the possibilities
You call it anarchy…
So I stand, by my fate
Bound and chained to heaven’s gate
Can I find a way, to make you see
You twisted words will never be enough for me
