Lights Out 03:40
Ignorant faceless fools Digital words bring brutal news Hide behind a screen of lies Your shattered pieces drive I feel the invisible battle lines drawn As the same exhausting song is sung Cross into my domain to attack my core Attempt to bind, chain, and war Substance lacking yet your lips keep flapping What happens when the lights go out? No weapon, no voice Why don't you say it to my face? I dare you I feel the invisible battle lines drawn As the same exhausting song is sung Cross into my domain to attack my core Attempt to bind, chain, and war Substance lacking yet your lips keep flapping LIGHTS OUT When did the wires cross? System breach - overload Currents flipped - Does not compute Virus detected - intercepted Rogue code exposed You’re the infection We’re out of sync - Reboot Motherfucker - you’ve been removed From the false world you cling to. We’re out of sync - Reboot Motherfucker - you’ve been removed From the false world you cling to. I dare you… MONSTER I condemn you… COWARD There’s nowhere to hide. I know you… Just say it to my face

We’ve given life to this beast Bred beyond the decisions of the few Set loose on this world, unsuspecting A system built for division Captured in force to silence the weak But at what cost? Was this conceived to harm? A ridicule born for demise Integrity of doubt Forcibly carried out Just to silence those that speak The truth will never be The reasons behind the acts How can we ever expect To free ourselves of the grasp We cannot believe our eyes (Symptoms possessed by conscience) You will regret what you can’t hide (But you damn sure will try) How dare you lie? How dare you lie? How dare you lie? How dare you? We stand together as one United by adversity Not for banners and flags But for our homes and hearts The death of freedom masked with words From stolen hopes and dreams Choke back their terrored screams Just to keep what was taken Their lies will never sate The hunger inside us all We must feed upon what we hate Consume the structure We cannot believe our eyes (Symptoms possessed by conscience) You will regret what you can’t hide (But you damn sure will try) How dare you lie? How dare you lie? How dare you lie? How dare you? We stand together as one United by adversity Not for banners and flags But for our homes and hearts Will you stand with me? Will you fight with me? Will you fall with me? Just another misshapen cog ground down to perfection Our drained blood spread to grease this halting creation Rage, rage at the system Machines that we were forced to create Shatter the gears that drive on Before it’s too late We cannot believe our eyes (Symptoms possessed by conscience) You will regret what you can’t hide (But you damn sure will try) How dare you lie? How dare you lie? How dare you lie? How dare you? We stand together as one United by adversity Not for banners and flags But for our homes and hearts For our homes For our hearts Rip up the banners and stand up

Serpent 05:00
Is this what you wanted? You’re too blind to see Hunter becomes the hunted It’s your turn to bleed Is this what you wanted? You’re too blind to see Hunter becomes the hunted It’s your turn to bleed Bleed Silence baby, we don’t want them to hear, Dark and dirty promises hissed into your ear, My enticing mouth will speak only lies, Soft skin exposed: some candy for your eyes. Claim my woods, with your traps and then strip me down to flesh and bone Sell me to the streets Far from my home Hey “backwoods boy” won’t you come and play I’ve got a long list of debts I’d just love to repay In blood they were written, in blood they’ll be paid This time around you’ll be the one on display Don’t fret darling, you won’t feel too much pain, Not with my venom running through your veins. Taste the sweet nectar you’ve begun to crave Caught in my web as you dig your own grave. Lose yourself in the trees and then Bear down to flesh and bone Scream: you know they can't hear Far from your home Hey “backwoods boy” won’t you come and play I’ve got a long list of debts I’d just love to repay In blood they were written, in blood they’ll be paid This time around you’ll be the one on display Bullet on my tongue, poison on my lips, Snaring your soul as I grind my hips, Scream, cry, and beg to break my hold, As the pain they feel is released twofold. You can struggle and cringe to release my grasp, But this staggered breath will be your last Scream, cry, and beg… Scream, cry, and beg…

Witness 03:43
Can you hear it, the babies wailing? A dull knife in hand Law of the land Can you smell it, metallic misery? Your crimson craving pools Addiction fueled We will not be forgotten In these desperate days I know someone sees me Someday we’ll all be saved We will not be forgotten In these desperate days They bear witness They bear witness Can you feel it, my soft skin chilling? As the life pours out I flail and twist about Can you taste it, my pain my suffering? Do you salivate for the kill? Rip through flesh for thrill? We will not be forgotten In these desperate days I know someone sees me Someday we’ll all be saved We will not be forgotten In these desperate days They bear witness They bear witness Witness the cages open As concrete turns to glass, This will be the last time You beat us into the dust, To fuel your damned blood lust We won’t take now! We won’t, we won’t! Do you see it? No barcode to grace their skin, Here the revolution begins. Do you see it? No barcode to grace their skin, Here the revolution begins. We will not be forgotten In these desperate days I know someone sees me Someday we’ll all be saved We will not be forgotten In these desperate days They bear witness They bear witness Witness the cages open As concrete turns to glass, This will be the last time You beat us into the dust, To fuel your damned blood lust We won’t take it now! They won’t break us down!

Castle 04:55
High in the castle, the men they sit Enjoying all their toys Invisible strings, moving limbs Hide, seek, destroy Mechanical hearts, cold and dark, Determine fates of masses False idols guide the fear inside Shaping thoughts, breaking minds I rise from the carnage You know my name - you fear me Screams will ring out This is my destiny Commanded to this dance of death Manipulate all I have left Seeing only truth within this lie I’ll follow, hide, seek, destroy Fumbling through perceived darkness With my eyes closed, gun raised Threads to guide me as designed Shape my thoughts, break my mind A thrust of a needle might just be enough To let a sliver of light in I’ll take that chance I’ll take that chance I cannot recognize this husk, I’m flooding with the glow of clarity, Tearing at the seams, This is not who I am Light ablaze this suit of lies. Blood of the innocent coats my chains Release me! Their screams tear through my illusions Master, release me! Marching toward the demons Endurance fails, depletion Growing tired of these Invisible strings, moving limbs Yet another falls broken And as tattered ropes descend I now recognize False idols guide the fear inside A thrust of a needle might just be enough To let a sliver of light in I’ll take that chance I’ll take that chance I cannot recognize this husk, I’m flooding with the glow of clarity, Tearing at the seams, This is not who I am Light ablaze this suit of lies. This husk Invisible strings, moving limbs Light ablaze this suit of lies.
