Journey Home 02:43
The earth speaks to me. All I hear is screams. I’ve witnessed this landscape change. Its beauty haunts my dreams. Only memories. I walk this trail of tears till a river it becomes. I walk this trail of tears, a red river it becomes. I walk this trail of tears till the final setting sun. The soil is soaked with the blood of my children, the seems of this trail are dressed with my bones. And the skies are wide open as well as my arms as the earth opens up to welcome me back home.

Disresist 03:01
Screaming at the top of your lungs from the bottom of a cage. Destroying law from within its limits is like cheating death from a six foot grave. Failure, Failure to resist. Slaves, given a liberal amount of leash. An illusion of freedom, dangled just out of reach. If shackles go unbroken, enslavement will persist. Accepting the shackles as jewelry is a failure to resist. Failure, Failure to resist. Submissive and defeated as the status quo insists. You’re a walking paradigm of a failure to resist. Your disdain has been relinquished. Your fire has been extinguished.

Kingdom Come 03:54
Write the books, pass the laws, link the chains, build the walls. Create sin for all the sinners, create shame for all those fit to blame. Deal out guilt for all that is natural, deal out guilt and judge in god's name. Control on earth as it is in heaven. Prisoners in our own bodies, prisoners in our own minds. Forever shameful born into sin. Forever obedient in god's vengeful eyes. Build the churches fueled by greed to put a nation on its knees. An iron curtain where god dictates. A dangerous mix of church and state. And as your kingdom comes to make peasants of everyone. Destroy people's lives to make yours more comfortable. Take away people's rights to make your cause indestructible. Take away choice so there is no choice but to obey. Censor all until your god's word is law. Control on earth as it is in heaven.

Empires Fall 05:27
Golden dunes stretch forth like waves of the sea. Monolithic tombs are formed in the dawn of slavery. The stars demanded worship and monuments the Gods could see. All they ask in return is a world of minions on their knees. Your kingdom used to flourish, all would bow to its majesty. And now your whole society is shrouded in great mystery for all empires fall. The blood red moon tears through the sky, rays of crimson burst through the trees. Galloping hooves stampede, mangling the earth beneath. A kingdom reaches further than mortal eyes could ever see, as their machine slowly teethes on the uprising of human greed. Turning its own loyal subjects into its worst enemy. Now all the peasants you used to lead circle your corpse to watch you bleed for all empires fall. In days of turmoil, a reign of terror, keeps a nation blind with fear. A war machine thirsts for the blood of soldiers to oil its gears. Force fed lies and promises of an end to justify their means. Forced to live a life of bondage, chasing down false hopes and dreams. As contents under pressure approaches breaking point the more it bends, all that gleams will face decay as the means are brought to justice by the End… All empires fall...

No gods, no masters. No cops, no bastards. No billionaire corporations, leading climate disasters. No walls, no borders. No law and order. No steelers of time, wasters of lives, slave driving employers. Follow the leash! Who dictates the will of the masses? Who dictates the wealth of the classes? Who decides the cost of our time? Who decides the worth of our lives? We are met with nothing but violence, how can they not expect it in turn? Give them no peace, no silence as we watch this system burn. The leaders will be led to the beast to be fed. - For you can not be led by the dead. Follow the leash. The halls of power is where it leads. Follow the leash. Weaken the chains until we get free. Follow the leash. We can no longer trust the hand that feeds. Follow the leash. And bite the hand that leads.

Ignite 03:03
Hopeless and helpless as if blind to the sight Of these button-down fuckers that rob us of life. Shadowy figures creeping in the night appearing as mirages in the back of our minds. So we seem unaware as they extinguish our fire. As the last sparks sputter we give up the fight. As the glow fades away I feel so alone. So alone in the the dark. When can we rest our pens from writing songs of rebellion and grace our books with songs of victory? When will this nightmare end of tyranny and injustice and become life instead of misery? Lets rekindle our flames! Set the world on fire! Scorch their tightened reigns! And bring back hope to our desires! Set the world on fire. Watch it burn.

Mechanism 02:39
Living, dying, breathing, lying, automated, obedient, dependent, complying. Never stop to eat. Never stop to drink. Never stop to sleep. Never stop to think. Install the mechanism into the organism. You haven't been replaced, you've been through transition. Your mind has been replaced, your memory has been erased. New programming ingrained to the motherboard behind your face. There's microchips inside your brain. Electricity flows through your veins. Digitally consuming your soul, you're powered by remote control. Never stop. Destroy. Never stop. Devouring. Never stop. Assimilating. Just to feed the big machine. Transform the organism into the mechanism. You haven'r been replaced, you've been through transition. The land has been removed, nature has been consumed. Where a factory will rise, for the human assembly line. Now synthetic will feed on old flesh, stripping bone till there's nothing left. And their steel shells will forever hide the organisms screaming deep inside. We always realize what we've done when it's far too late. But the mechanisms we've become won't recognize this fate.

Once victims of your greed, once victims of your progress. Now victims of your crime, now victims of your injustice. Still looking over your shoulder, still trying to cover the evidence. Still trying to bury the burial grounds, still trying to wipe clear your conscience. Exterminate! To erase the past. Exterminate! Till the very last. Exterminate! And sterilize. Exterminate! Till they all fucking die. Broken treaties, broken homes, broken hearts and broken bones. Beauty replaced by devastation, great tribes reduced to reservations. There are no such words that can form such an apology. There are no such actions that could reverse such an atrocity. There is no amount of money that could ever repay. And there is nothing you can say that could justify what still goes on today. You can bury the people. But you can’t bury the past. Do you think everything will be just fine with all your enemies slain? You can try to cover your tracks but the truth will always remain. People always remember and we will never forget. Because blood leaves stains and blood leaves trails. And it’s hard not to notice the shit under your breath, the blood on your fangs, the skin under your nails. You’re pulling off a holocaust right under everyone’s nose. And I’m gonna scream my fucking head off till everybody knows. You fucking murderer, you will not be forgiven. You fucking rapist, this will not be forgotten. You fucking liars, we will never be silenced. And you can fucking try, but we will not be stopped!
