guided by your honored ideals united in ignorant appeal powered by strength in numbers your demonstration will generate no action and you're a failure soapbox failure you say tonight we stand united and "blessed" (tonight we stand) united in protest we'll march and fight to the death we'll fight, we'll fight to the death guided by your honored ideals (soap box) united in ignorant appeal (soapbox failure) powered by strength in numbers (you're a fucking failure) "tonight we stand united and blessed" this isn't progress, this is a protest "tonight we march and fight to the death" less of a protest, more of a wasted breath failure soapbox failure

Maiden 02:45
inflated on your power giving orders, passing judgment with the fate of all imprisoned waiting on your final word it's never heard it's never heard so employ your faceless institution the plan of action, the execution a dull bladed maiden obsessed with the guillotine let them build their own machine how many blows, how many blows to the head will it take for the mutiny to throw you into your own mistake yours was the only head to hit the stone and you'll never realize that you've been over thrown overthrown and you'll die alone how many blows, how many blows to the head did it take to realize it's your mistake the only severed head was yours and yours alone you'll never even realize that you've been overthrown
5.
a cold war begins a race no one wins the heavens have been armed on ground and above now watch them fall apart beneath the bleeding sky life is erased this is the new arms race the warning: one last chance for peace was lost in hailstorms of debris our paralyzed communication systems fail a cold and lifeless world prevails a cold and lifeless world a cold and lifeless world prevails war beneath the bleeding sky life is erased a cold world this is the new arms race this is the new arms race a cold war begins beneath the bleeding sky a race no one wins life is erased from ground and above this is the new arms race
6.
power taking hold and they all obey now create your own doomsday and all will hold respect for this crown do as you're told you give me no reason to step down and now behold power to end this world power to end you now you give me no purpose you give me no reason to step down eradication: becomes your lie false creation: your own demise your own demise power taking hold and they all obey now create your own doomsday
7.
Bird Of Prey 03:07
in the air: the siren song stand up and deliver spread your wings and claim your hill empowered by your ability to kill a better day you'll never know so take what you please and look around at the corpses that you've made save all the victims heads make room for the collection a trophy for your twisted way of playing games that they can never win a better day you'll never know so take what you please and look around at the corpses that you've made spread your wings bitch a bird of prey with a taste for torture a serial killer loses her ability to kill better days: you used to know to take what you pleased to look around at the corpses as they bleed a better way: you'll never know to get what you need so look around at nothing as it's all you've made
8.
a just retribution he said an elegant solution was had the sound of the detonation still rings through your head that suffers from the mutilation but you're still not dead are you still convinced, now, that you were invincible to the explosive power? now point your finger and place the blame but it's over now; you've lost at your own game with this retaliation the sounds of the detonation still ring through your head but you're still not dead a just retribution was had an elegant solution he said has this "quasi" execution left you in a weakened state? are you still self-righteous? or do you feel you've lost your touch as you turn into everything you hate stubborn in your ways did you not foresee your twisted fate still the sounds of the detonation torture you with everything you hate did you not foresee your twisted fate
9.
your lies won't save your "blessed" lives these guns don't lie so this war is justified by a way of life that's based on lies archaic, outdated: trapped in reality you create archaic, outdated: this is the world that you created so go forth and claim your land and the "word of god" will guide you hand blinded by their promises that you've secured your fate and it's simple: just don't stop feeding the collection plate and now you say "the end is near" we say: you are the very evil that you fear with these lies your lies won't save your "blessed" lives your a slave to the machine; these guns don't lie these guns don't lie your lies won't save your "blessed" lives your lies won't save your "blessed" lives you'll try and try; you'll be denied; these lies these lies control your life so come forth and claim your land with the "word of god" to guide your hand a holy war that's justified by your way of life and all of your fucking lies archaic, outdated: the world suffers a "blessed" fate archaic, outdated: this is the evil that you create
10.
the masses are asleep; the masses are asleep and i'm counting sheep; and i'm counting sheep the masses are asleep; a fine flock to keep them cozy the masses are asleep; and i'm counting sheep in human's clothing don't stray, obey! politically unwilling to protest don't stray, give way! to proudly trust the conventions of past the masses are asleep, and i'm counting sheep don't stray, obey! collectively unconscious of their lies don't stray, give way! to make a leap of faith while never asking why your blind trust of authority gives a tendency towards conformity the progress that you keep opposing makes you nothing more than a sheep in human's clothing don't stray, obey throw your choices away (the masses are asleep) the masses are asleep (i'm counting sheep) i'm counting sheep (the masses are asleep) i fear the flock as it's enclosing beware the sheep in human's clothing
11.
The Leech 05:28
your life is overcome by the leech control begins to slip out of reach your life is overcome by the leech disordered, confined: the splitting of your mind now plagued by voices of disease (relapsed into eternity) dysfunction, frustration: brought into isolation so paranoid you've lost your speech (your life's controlled now by the leech) your sanity slips out of reach now overcome by the leech control the world slips out of your reach your life is overcome control relapse into the disease your life is overcome by the leech the splitting of your mind relapsed into eternity brought into isolation your sanity slips out of reach control your life control has long past slipped out of reach your life was overcome by the leech
12.
Paralysis 02:40
relelentless words infest you relelentless words, demonic infest you, catatonic and no one hears your cry now paralyzed frozen in time, paralyzed frozen... in time pained and motionless apathetic suffer powerless immobile death rigid crippled powerless immobile death embrace your soul demonic your body catatonic and no one heard you cry frozen in time
13.
this is the price you pay don't look back now don't look back strike down strike down line 'em up, line 'em up, line 'em up herded from your holding pen strike 'em down, strike 'em down a judgment for the life you've led sort 'em out, sort 'em out, sort 'em out preslaughter inspection pray to god as the blood hits the planks pray for redemption pray to god as the blood hits the planks the last thing you'll ever see strike down strike down this is the price you pay don't look back now, don't look back 'cause no one cares just how it feels when you're hanging from your heels this is the life you chose to live this is the punishment we give a judgment for the man you were a judgment for mediocre
14.
The Process 03:12
in life you were a product of society, and nothing more in death you're still a product to be consumed after fighting a losing war this is the process let it be told you've been processed and sold does your achilles tendon ache? 'cause we know it wasn't meant to support your weight we can't promise that you "won't feel a thing" 'cause we're leaving you conscious to witness the hell we bring this is the process let it be told you've been processed and sold in life you fought a losing war in life you were a product in death you're nothing more this is the process let it be told you've been processed and sold
