Liberty & JusticeAnger as sharp as the broken glassBurning cars and tear gas Every race riot--is the last one A dying culture's final gasp Every decade--yet no one learns
Memories lost in a nation's sleep
All too wrong to be right
Monochrome blood sport--we never tire
Crucial MomentSo many people will come and goPast their time before they know Swear they were there from the start Never had it in their hearts Things you do--come back to you
You pay the price--take bad advice
StrengthDay after daySee a world grow cold and grey Did you see it today Youth that rage while their idols age Need some new start See ideals for what they really are What does it take?
That's what it has to be
GenesisThe birth of man was the birth of HellThe wrathful flames dance around my head
Covered, once, with locks of hair
Pulling back, Inside my head
AnthemChanges that were hardly noticedUntil time itself became a chain Once hot blood began to cool My ever slowing heart--beat in vain From the nightmare I wake in another dream
The Blood--The Honor--The Truth
Another SideAwash on the tides of city rainI flow through the streets and into the drains Numbed by the gaze of uncaring faces Try to offer my truth--but they drift away Until the streets and myself have no name No longer human--no longer the same Lost all hope--lose all dreams--No more pain Awake--I choke on human steam And the stench of animal fear Tonight I'm going to light a match And let the sewer burn--until my soul is clear Each night a thousand hearts are wasted On those who don't care if they live or die Each day I wade through vacant stares and wonder Are they looking for the same things as I I see the people turn away And still hear every word they say Hope someday I'll have the nerve To put a bullet through my brain And not a needle in my vein Happened YesterdayYou--You raised your fistYou were some real Anarchist Made a lot of promises to your friends You'd never let it end Now--You just sit and stare like old men
LostYahweh promised a conquered land,Domination over life--man against man Mother Earth came to conflict with patriarchal powers And eyes lit up with hierarchy fed desires The spirit within--quickly became lost In search of glory and power the rules of war were taught The dogs, run wild, parting souls from lives Bombs fragment, the Earth, leaving wounds in her side The roots of perversion--so deeply planted Man has become evil--peace and freedom tainted Leaders ask their people to dig their graves deeper No spirit of their own--they took heed of their keepers Man finds himself trapped in aggression He knows no other life but that of oppression HypocrisySo you hate your Mom, you hate your DadYou hate "The State" because it's bad But look at you, how do you rate? You're just as bad as those you hate You're telling me--you keep telling lies
So live your life in ignorance
CrucifiedThey ask why do we dress this wayLive for now--Don't understand today See the kids--But don't hear what they say Close your eyes and look the other way Say the end justifies the means Gonna lock us up and throw away the keys Crucified--Crucified for your sins Crucified--Crucified for your sins
We're the targets so easy to find
