Victimized

Behind the churches there lies an empty grave
For every heathen that chose to misbehave
For absolution within forgiving eyes
To forgive the vile sin of asking why
Why is it worth it…to give up everything?
To surrender to every single verse they say
You know what lies within, and it’s not worth the cost
And like these victims, you’ll always end up feeling lost
Yes, I know these sins are a part of me
No god, church, or feeble need to plea
With the innocence of self now realized-
By god’s own words they say … you are victimized
Within the chains of the religious kind
Do you worship for safety or for peace of mind?
You know what lies within, and it’s not worth this shit
Within your pain is the god we know
So I’ll keep on pushing – hopeless, all alone
Fighting and dividing every practice they condone
Make no celebration, there’s no winner in these eyes
Between the state-religion the human race is victimized
Now there’s no hope, no surprise
With the whole human race victimized
More cross-stations bleeding in my eyes
Jesus killed – and so – we’re victimized

Opportunities; they always say they’ll last
We’re robbing nations – well who cares? That’s in the past!
Well it’s the best they say – the way our treatment was
The last thing is to say it’s merely just because
They’re only worth opinion; they’re going on and on
A last slave until we reach that Golden Dawn
And like a worthless product, you will be put to the test
And then be thankful like a slave is ever fucking blessed
You buy the bull shit
You feed their bank account
Produced and purchased – so tell me, what was the amount?
You buy the whole thing
You think you’re really free
Their lies of freedom have never meant a thing to me
This is bullshit – men, women, children used
In third world nations where saying “no” means their abuse
You buy this bull shit
And feed your bank account
Produced and purchased – so tell me, what was the amount?
Their lies are nothing new
It’s a silken veil I can see right through
Revenge – is all I know
But despite my rage, I have nothing to show
Despite my hate, I have nowhere to go
Except for where life means nothing but the need to consume
Chorus
Lied – the freedom has died – the truth is denied
And still we must pay for these crimes…
Lied – the freedom has died – the truth is denied
It's time that these fuckers should pay for it

Nobody's Hero

Feeling so hopeless and so dead inside
Feeling so worthless, who cares if I tried?
Tried to find meaning, tried to find hope
Endlessly searching for some way to cope
But nobody fucking cared…
With no resolution, I turned to myself
Where others found solace in needles & belts
I was sick of their thinking and sick of their shit
I was endlessly searching for some way to quit
This was not who I wanted to be
Soon I had found it- the old punk rock way
I was so full of anger with so much to say
And here I am now
I’m nobody’s hero; I’m a real piece of shit
Learn to rise above it - I’m too angry to quit
Fuck your backward system; you’re only rich ‘cuz of blood
There’s just too much injustice to simply not give a fuck
I threw away your bible ‘cuz the story was bad
All gods were evil fuckers with the power they had
The story gets much better, well at least it really can’t get much worse

They Want a War

Complacency - That is the enemy
Keep your eyes on the nightmare of living
Punished by a fool’s superstition
They’d kill me for fake competition
Their only respect for their vision
Men take on the worst kings, they’re turned in, they’re on death row
I’m willing, and expected to wallow
But do you really expect me to follow?
Our progress is so god-damn hollow
If think this is worth it - you' haven't the mind
If you're looking for answers - expect none to find
The men that have power don't want you to know
You put in the effort, but they run the show
If it's the world that you hate - well, you make it so
Ignoring the problem makes their power grow
They Want a War --- It's so easy to see
The new age propaganda --- Is every ad on the streets
They want a war --- For American minds
Where to stand up for reason – is the fate of the blind
And in this nation --- Shall the fodder grow
An ethical extinction --- the lower class shall know
ill fates face all betrayers
To betray faith is greater
Within my heart’s a traitor
Our death, our vindicator
At last, the vision – it’s past our control
We mount opinions; they’re counting the death toll
Like old politicians, we’re parting the sea
Their willing to fall in, and offer the whole thing
Nothing will make it – not me I’m sure
I’m lost in the hatred of my own conjecture
We’re blurring the vision from under their eyes
There’s nothing to say, my hopes have died
For this war … salvation is your misery
To be saved is just….
For this war … deprivation is all that I see
And for what?
In our time – all debts paid
Now what’s left?
