Educate To Hate
04:45
|
|||
|
Before you're even old enough to choose you've already decided your fate
Dumbed down and used for debate, taught what and not how to think
The concept of reality fades
Lessened for those who reign
Limited scope of reality
Hatred is taught and so is idiocy
You use your freedom of speech
But when I speak you take my freedoms from me
Study the words of others to erase the thoughts of your own
You sacrifice your conscience and stay below the throne
The concept of reality fades
Lessened for those who reign
Limited scope of reality
Hatred is taught and so is idiocy
You use your freedom of speech
But when I speak you take my freedoms from me
Reason is treason during the season
When you pick a side not knowing why
The concept of reality fades
Lessened for those who reign
Limited scope of reality
Hatred is taught and so is idiocy
You use your freedom of speech
But when I speak you take my freedom from me

Human Beings
04:50
|
|||
|
Panic shakes your bones everywhere you go
In this crazy world where everybody is a psycho
They are mentally ill and made to kill
So do with it what you will
The act of taking an innocent life is spreading like disease
Cowards and worthless human beings are all we see
Rise in terror brainwashed fools
Their insane minds command to shoot
What has this world become
When they are killing just for fun
The act of taking an innocent life is spreading like disease
Cowards and worthless human beings are all we see
Murderers take over peace of mind
Blood remains at the scene of senseless crime
Media idolizes killers the world runs on war
Insert the corrupted sickened lifeforms
Anywhere you go, watch for the attack
And anywhere you are, you get a bullet in your back
The act of taking an innocent life is spreading like disease
Cowards and worthless human beings are all we see
The act of taking innocent life spreads like disease
Cowards and worthless human beings are all we see
Human beings
Human beings

Don't Follow The Leader
05:09
|
|||
|
Down, come down with me and I will show you the way
The only way to success is to throw your life away
Follow the path that's mine the beginning of your hell
And for the rest of time you will hate yourself
Everyday of your life
You will hate that you
That you agreed to
Follow the leader
So don't
Follow the leader
Don't
Follow the leader
To forfeit a life, to throw away a dream
To sell your soul away when success is slavery
Lost in the shadows you become a ghost
And what you could have been the world will never know
Everyday of your life
You will hate that you
That you agreed to
Follow the leader
So don't
Follow the leader
Don't
Follow the leader

Injection Of Self
06:03
|
|||
|
Your implanted ideology
Oh it rotted your roots
Insert the fake philosophy
Fuels your raw attitude
Somebody did you wrong
By telling you it was right
To close your mind
And seal it tight
You are living blinded you cannot see
You are oblivious you cannot feel
Inside your shell you cannot tell
That you have been given
A lethal injection of self
Taught by all of your elders
Since the day of your birth
Those who do not think or do as you
Oh in hell they burn
Somebody did you wrong
By telling you it was right
To close your mind
And seal it tight
You are living blinded you cannot see
You are oblivious you cannot feel
Inside your shell you cannot tell
That you have been given
A lethal injection of self

True Destiny
04:41
|
|||
|
We're born into this world to slave away for free
Like the ants and bees to work for the queen
Born into this world told how to be
Told what to see, pressured conformity
Everybody has a future and it all looks the same
Everybody lives and dies they all play the game of life
Enslaved in this world to do what they preach
Fear in me and in my speech
Grow up in a cage taught to believe the blunt lies
When you lose faith in yourself, part of the world, it dies
Everybody has a future and it all looks the same
Everybody lives and dies they all play the game of life
Growing up to see through
Someone else's eyes
And in that vision
Ways that you despise
You are one of many
Disposable by
Technology
Just wait to die
To die in this world is man's one true destiny
To die with your unsaid words to die with what you think
To die in this world is man's one true destiny
To die with your unsaid words to die with what you think
Die with what you think

Rivalry Of Radicals
04:24
|
|||
|
Forget about our best interests as a whole
Can't trust what you hear or what you're told
It's a competition between our leaders
And for your vote anything is sold
It's a battle for rule of state
All the faulty facts and lies they create
Propaganda with malicious intent
Can you trust their words? What they said? What they meant?
No
Writing law to dictate our fate
Forget about the common man
Stepping on the backs of all
To get ahead while you can
It's a rivalry of radicals
It's a rivalry of radicals
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me what to see
When all you do is lie
And cheat politically
Nothing has changed
Over the years
Same old problems
We all hear
The divided states of America
Can't step away from your beliefs
To take a few seconds to understand me
And the way we all think
Does anyone know what's fact or lie
When true and False come from the same place
You just repeat what you hear
Because you don't know what else to say
Writing law to dictate our fate
Forget about the common man
Stepping on the backs of all
To get ahead while you can
It's a rivalry of radicals
Rivalry of radicals

My Only Memory
06:07
|
|||
|
I've forgotten who you are a stranger I see
I've forgotten who I once was but you still remember me
Questions arise and the answers die madness i'm unaware
In the rain I stand alone with a dead silent stare
I don't know where I've been and I don't know what i've done
I don't know how i've lived if i've lost or if i've won
My minds been corrupted there is vacancy in my eyes
A forgotten past life
A whole new being am I
I never thought that I
Would be the one to lose my mind
Yet I still remain
But there's nothing left inside
No use no help
I'm trapped within myself
I'm Lost Inside
Just waiting to die
Emptiness fills my soul as I fail to communicate
Do I dare grow old or shall I accept my fate
I can't perceive my life I am living blind
Am I still alive or have I already died
Not given a choice silence the beautiful voice
Say goodbye to the one you love
The body is here but the person is gone
The rain is all I see
My only memory
The rain is all I see
My only memory

Rebellion
03:55
|
|||
|
When difference becomes the normal
Rebellion lays in the shadows unseen
Everyone is different in the same way everyone stands out but no one is seen
And if everyone is a rebel, no one is or can be
If you keep blindly following, lost in this world you will be
Just another moron
Intelligence is all gone
I believe it's time for
A rebellion
Change your mind to fit in like a chameleon changes it's skin
Fueling resistance against unintelligence
A fake personality, gutless with no pride
You will remain a lie until the day you die
Just another moron
Intelligence is all gone
I believe it's time for
A rebellion
The people of today a disgrace to humankind
The way to erase the damage we must find
Cloning the minds of all who think one way of everything is what they're doing
Systematically destroying everything
Just another moron
Intelligence is all gone
I believe it's time for
A rebellion

New Age Philosopher
05:17
|
|||
|
Have you heard your own words?
Common sense you must have not learned
False claims too stupid to believe
but stupid finds truth in everything they see
A philosopher of sorts worship what you think
Everything out your mouth is shit and it stinks
Wear the mask of a genius
But underneath I've seen ya
Intelligence laughs at a fake
No good can't be trusted, I hate
Manipulative liars, lousy men controlled by greed
Might play a fool but can't play me
Go ahead and try say goodbye to your teeth
It's proven by the scars on my fist
That new age philosophers don't exist
It's proven by the scars on my fist
That new age philosophers don't exist
You think you have been right
Since the day of your birth
But you are not a
New age philosopher
Stop the nonsense the destruction of facts
Lying and cheating to cover your ass
Actions mean nothing all about your words
What you portray determines your worth
The all knowing a god in the flesh
Just a cover up no better than the rest
Rediculous or not, it's just whatever comes to thought
False sense of reality is all that you got
Verbal diarrhea spews and you haven't even got a fucking clue
It's proven by the scars on my fist
That new age philosophers don't exist
It's proven by the scars on my fist
That new age philosophers don't exist

Brainwashed
03:58
|
|||
|
You only have an open mind when you agree with what they say
To change your mind feels like betrayal
Like minded people hate those who don't share their opinions
There's no going back when the damage is done
Everyone is guilty of being ignorant because nobody can be wrong
But difference in where you stand proves there's good and bad in all
But you've already made your mind up
Everyone is pressured into what they think no matter what
Uncontrolled
Aggression
Take over the world
No progression
Like the wise have always said
You can have your opinions
Or you can have friends
Like the wise have always said
You can have your opinions
Or you can have friends
Don't be brainwashed
No matter what side on your on some will always disagree
Time to judge people for who they are and not what they think
And no one cares to hear your opinions anyway
Just keep it to yourself, because no one cares about what you have to say
Uncontrolled
Aggression
Take over the world
No progression
Like the wise have always said
You can have your opinions
Or you can have friends
Like the wise have always said
You can have your opinions
Or you can have friends
Don't be brainwashed

The Herd
06:07
|
|||
|
Dominance, display of control
Master of the simple minded soul
Power stricken superiority
Birth-righted leader, authority
They are built and raised like clones
Without a mind of their own
It's absurd, their vision blurred
Their slurred words are not heard
Indistinguishable from one another
Just replicated flesh just like the others
Who was elected leader of the sheep?
Who influences what is seen?
The herd don't know
They follow they die
All they can do is follow your lies
Answer the call to follow, to die
All they can do is follow your lies
The herd don't know
They follow they die
All they can do is follow your lies
Answer the call to follow, to die
All they can do is follow your lies
Like factory production
Be made identical
And then you think that you are
Like a god, immortal
They all think the same way
And will betray
Because you all wear
The same face

Taken Over
04:29
|
|||
|
One item of interest circulating thought
Secretly consuming causing your brain to rot
Someone else is seen where you stand
And what you can't see the rest of us can
Take on the toxicity and leave us to see
Distant different eyes, mourning of a life
You have the power to cure your disease
That power lies in only you not in me
Your mind is being taken over belongs to you not
Dissects your intellect and speaks your words your thoughts
Disintegrates potential and prevents ability
To recover from this nightmare that you don't see
I can feel it flowing in my blood
And I know it wants to tear me apart
But I need it to continue on living
Because without it I am nothing at all
Or better off dead
It's only a matter of time not long before you die
Your prescription for domination surrender to it's might
And you'll soon learn what it is you need to fight
But by then it'll be too late to make it right

A lot of genius in these kids who were not born when their sources of inspiration released their first album. A futur classic hurry up, there won't be one for everyone!

Very enjoyable album, sounding classic without emphasizing that too much! Plus superb vocals, now and then reminding me on Matt Barlow (formerly Iced Earth, now Ashes Of Ares). Works great for me!

An album full of that kind of chunky, beefy thrash riffs I could listen to all day, comes crunching as dry as a bone! The vocals are a insistently pissed off parlando, just right to make me pissed off too while listening - there's always a reason! Perfect for venting mentally!
