Gunned Down 04:26
Gunned Down They hide, behind, the badge, the gun…… Whatever they want with no discretion Discount, the words, protect, and serve…… Becoming a policy of oppression I’ve seen the abuse with my eyes Death dealers with no regard or reprise Hard to feel there’s equality now Who is left to head the call when you’re the one who’s been gunned down? Living in a military state, in a false flag paradigm Wanna take my rights by demand? You better pry them from my cold dead hands. You lie, face down, concrete, your teeth…… Guilty until you’re innocent Power, abuse, you cry, no use…… All of society’s indifferent Young people shot dead in the streets Who would fight back against the police? Knowing there’s no escaping it now Who would stand up for your rights when you’ve been gunned down? Living in a military state, in a false flag paradigm Wanna take my guns through demands? You’ll have to pry them from my cold dead hands. With one in the chamber, I will stand my ground.

Desperate Defiance Restraining purpose By no fault, of my own This life is worthless A path I won’t condone I’ve opened my eyes… To this destruction, and full corruption I sift through the lies… I’m finding nothing, you’re giving nothing I’ve been down this path before, and I know just where it leads A life of hate and destitute and I’m caught in between Well you’ve been led astray, with no place left to hide. So step up to the plate because it’s your turn to die. Revealing frailty The fear before the fall Desperate defiance Caught up within the thrall Apathetic displacement… We feed the machine, I feel unclean Programmed and complacent… Indentured servants, and lifeless hermits We’ve heard these lies before, and we know just what they mean A crippling condition, obliterating dreams It’s almost laughable; you resolve to change the past Can’t placate everyone, so will see who’s laughing last No way out, in it now, falling down, Fell victim to compliance. It’s futile, Betrayal, Beautiful In your desperate defiance - - - I’ve opened my eyes… To this destruction, and full corruption I sift through the lies… I’m finding nothing, you’re giving nothing Revealing frailty The fear before the fall Desperate defiance Lost ground and losing all

Faceless Enemy It was highway robbery! Tricked into thinking it could be real Pulling all of the strings And we’re the ones paying back on their deal How could you turn away, a grinning infamy? Controlled through your apathy, Pray for the end of days…. Whine as you pay though the nose Watch as the deficit grows The dividing lines start to fade It’s black and white, there’s no longer grey How could you turn away, the heist of the century? Controlled though your apathy, Pray for the end of days…. Never the less, who could care less No consequence, Left defenseless Accepting your violent fate, Liberty you gave away, Dividing lines have all but fade Its black and white with your faceless enemy.

Land of the Blind Flash back paranoid, treading the land of the dead Nightmare homicide, living the life that I’ve lead Face to face!!!!!!!! With my blood stained horror that waits Where the weak are hunted, there’s a bullet with my name I’ve spent 10 years knee deep in blood Constantly staring down the barrel of a gun Pure panic, in the land of the blind The man with one eye, is god Embrace death cause you were born to die Enlist in the slave trade suicide Haste the day!!!!! When you’re signing your life away As the days roll on, you’re falling to your grave I’ve spent 10 years knee deep in blood Constantly staring down the barrel of a gun Pure panic, in the land of the blind The man with one eye, is god

Killing 03:23
Killing In the shadow of your grace and composure Still adapting to a brutal truth Was a fleeting fight to keep you close Cause I’d never get that close to you Finding the answers at the bottom of a bottle It only makes the lessons learned easy swallow No more wearing my heart on my sleeve No room for failure, Take it all one breath at a time Separate the real from the façade, No room for conscience, choking on my pride Drowning every waking thought of you Finding the answers at the bottom of a bottle It only makes the damage done easy swallow No more wearing my heart on my sleeve I lived inside of a dream for too long And now I’m coming to know I fought this uphill battle My emotions drug behind me in tow No room for failure, Take it all one breath at a time Separate the real from the façade, No room for conscience, choking on my pride Drowning every waking thought of you Killing every last loving emotion you’ve made KILLING…………….. Manipulating as you feign your compassion Giving hope when there is none to be found I’ve given into this conflicting addiction So every feeling that I have is drowned.

7.23 You’re merely vibrations and waves…. We’re all vibrations and waves Within your individual reality, only part of a greater whole, We are all one consciousness, experiencing reality subjectively. A touch of Divinity to this nation, You are not oneself but one awareness Waves from one sun The sound of culmination You’re merely vibrations and waves…. We’re all vibrations and waves The whole is equal to the sum of its parts, Denounce your solipsism and recognize, Altering your consciousness, changing your reality You alone, have the freedom to be something more A touch of Divinity to this nation, You are not oneself but one awareness Waves from one sun The sound of culmination The definition of existence is to be aware of consciousness. No more… Denial… we are… the same… No more… Denial… We are… all waves… That which you believe separates you is only a veil One nation, one spirit, one connection, is what we are Only you have the power to see through this façade Denounce your supposed truths, and release yourself from these bonds

New Millennium Revolution Scaling over walls we’re taking over, there’ll be no one here that’s left alive Hatred narrows vision to the point of no return, cleansing and sterilize. Taking back what’s ours, you’ll never get it, and if you’re in the path expect to die Stand up for yourself, there’s no one else who will; now see the fear within their eyes… All… Hail… the new… Belief Right this wrong, freedom used to mean something It won’t take long, Denounce the laws that mean nothing Stand up on the condition, The only thing to fear is fear itself. Speak with stricken conviction, Knowledge is power, and likewise wealth All… Hail… the new… Belief Resist we must, resist we will…. (Repeat all)
