Hard-Bitten 03:26
Life is a hard adventure Strongest endure the tension Weakness won't buy you anything Just a frustrating memories Live without fear Drive, brake a wheel Get whatever you want Climb, reach the top Hard-Bitten Learn the game we play Tough rules we must obey Strike of doom will make you cower The lesson brings you power Oh No Pain Everybody knows it Everybody fears it Everybody needs it Gaining strength in the game Live without fear Drive, brake a wheel Get whatever you want Climb, reach the top Live without fear Drive, brake a wheel Get whatever you want Climb, reach the top Hard-Bitten

Fear living in your bones That someone might take your throne Keeps you up awake at night As it grows your thoughts ignite Paranoia of the Tyrant Power Intoxicates you And then it makes you Desire more Rotten to the fucking core Enemies all must die For the regime to survive Poison them shoot them dead Get them out of your sick head Paranoia of the Tyrant Power Intoxicates you And then it makes you Desire more Rotten to the fucking core Kill Spirit Of the Population Scared of your own shadow, you're pathetic Extra bloated ego is synthetic Fear living in your bones That someone might take your throne Keeps you up awake at night As it grows your thoughts ignite Paranoia of the Tyrant Power Intoxicates you And then it makes you Desire more Rotten to the fucking core Power Intoxicates you And then it makes you Desire more Rotten to the fucking core

War 01:48
Act of senseless murdering Hunter, prey - same fucking thing Bullets flying everywhere Once a young man full of dreams Now just pile of scattered limbs His brain tissues on my coat Bombings lighting up the sky Take a breathe before you die Smog of rotting human flesh If you'll manage to survive Say hello to sleepless nights Haunted 'till the day you die War Who is it good for Privileged Powerful War Who is it good for Egotistical Cowards War Who benefits from it War War Who reaps the fruits of it War

End It 05:01
Without machines unable to breathe on my own Praying for death but the sweet relief never comes Empty stare is all that you'll get from me Lifeless eyes reflect my misery Their laws make my life A worthless piece of shit Take me to the yard A shot to the head will end it End it Now End it Now Doctors say that I have many years They don't know it's one of mine biggest fears Doctors say that I look very well They don't know it's a living hell Their laws make my life Worthless piece of shit Take me to the yard Shot to the head will end it End it Now End it Now Without machines unable to breathe on my own Praying for death but the sweet relief never comes Empty stare is all that you'll get from me Lifeless eyes reflect my misery Their laws make my life A worthless piece of shit Take me to the yard A shot to the head will end it End it Now End it Now

Sick Irony 03:06
There is no justice There is no God There is no order Only chaos in this world Priests raping children Such godly men Then moments later Forgiveness they convey Good people die Before their time Yet scum remains Fight To survive And fail Life is a sick irony You should laugh While you can Life is a sick Rich getting richer Stepping on the poor Shit in golden toilet Still smells like shit Good people die Before their time Yet scum remains Fight To survive And fail Life is a sick irony You should laugh While you can Life is a sick irony Women get Stoned to death No one cares Innocent Rot in cold Prison cells Fight To survive And fail Life is a sick irony You should laugh While you can Life is a sick irony

Voices hardly stop but when they do Silence crawls right in and burns me through Escape is anything but an option at this point Hope is dead I know that Look away Today is on display Mentally ill in pain Today is on display Look away Today is on display Mentally ill in pain Today is on display Deep cuts only pretty when I bleed Something real to feel is what I need Sleepless nights as well as sleepless days Headbutt the wall 'till my head obeys Look away Today is on display Mentally ill in pain Today is on display Look away Today is on display Mentally ill in pain Today is on display Escape is anything but an option at this point Hope is dead I know that Look away Today is on display Mentally ill in pain Today is on display Look away Today is on display Mentally ill in pain Today is on display

Incarnated 04:56
Sores on the arms No meat on the cheeks Eyes filled with pain Slowly drives me insane Hallucinations Bad trips Withdrawal Are my reality Liberated Consciousness Free of judgement Incarnated Happiness In the needle Then it wears off Reality strikes Death wishing bites Once in awhile When I find will power The monster crawls my back Everything turns into black Hallucinations Bad trips Withdrawal Are my reality Liberated Consciousness Free of judgement Incarnated Happiness In the needle Then it wears off Reality strikes Death wishing bites Giving in To the drug No control Nothing else Seems to fill Empty hole Giving in To the drug No control Crash and burn Lost all hope Broken soul Sores on the arms No meat on the cheeks Eyes filled with pain Slowly drives me insane Hallucinations Bad trips Withdrawal Are my reality Liberated Consciousness Free of judgement Incarnated Happiness In the needle Then it wears off Reality strikes Death wishing bites Then it wears off Reality strikes Death wishing bites

Staring at you everything you do You are telling me the "truth" filling me with anger So many lies there are difficult times I know your end is near Sitting in the dark with only one spark Having teeth like a shark won't be revealed Feeding our lives with lies we despise Emptiness and fear Cheated, lied, robbed by politicians Blinded, grinded, separated go, just go Do not get in to that business Save you fucking life from their control You Come with me Under my flag Lose your dreams Under my flag Close your eyes Under my flag Choose my lies Under my flag Rise off your knees fight the disease Fear will be erased you'll find the answer System has failed and the spirit got nailed By authorities to the cross Slipping their sight at the darkest night Dreams of future aren't right while dying of hunger Maniac's dreams fuels the killing machine Forcing you to loose Cheated, lied, robbed by politicians Blinded, grinded, separated go, just go Do not get in to that business Save you fucking life from their control You Come with me Under my flag Lose your dreams Under my flag Close your eyes Under my flag Choose my lies Under my flag Staring at you everything you do You are telling me the "truth" filling me with anger So many lies there are difficult times I know your end is near Sitting in the dark with only one spark Having teeth like a shark won't be revealed Feeding our lives with lies we despise Emptiness and fear Cheated, lied, robbed by politicians Blinded, grinded, separated go, just go Do not get in to that business Save you fucking life from their control You Come with me Under my flag Lose your dreams Under my flag Close your eyes Under my flag Choose my lies Under my flag

Give me your contract I sell you my soul I promise, I'll pay you Take it once and for all Give me reign of power World by cheap price I must live forever and ever Don't feed me with lies By blood I sign deal Deal with the beast Deal with the beast Bonded by darkness Could not see the truth I sell all my being Life has been used There is no way out There is no escape My soul going down Choice has been made By blood I sign deal Deal with the beast Deal with the beast You can scream until tomorrow Hell is now your native home Second chances are not to borrow Look at what you have become By blood I sign By blood I sign By blood I sign deal
