Victimized 01:23
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

Per Capita 02:17
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

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

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?
