Starving out the many while I only feed the few Maintain the wealth that keeps me in control of you Clean on the surface so you won't see my deceit Even though I'm slithering just beneath your feet Extend my reign into foreign lands Flexing my muscle anywhere I can I keep the power and swallow you whole Cutting off your life support, I follow through
From way up here my vision's distorted Cannot maintain what I once supported I keep you safe, secure and protected Until my self-indulgence has been perfected
I am the state I decide your fate Deliver to all I bring the downfall
Making up your mind is everything I do Doing the right thing is never up to you Get you on board only to betray your trust I will cut you off when I say you've had enough

2. Give Me Liberty... Or Give Me Death
Cut the rotting branches of Government that stop the people from having meaning today Stay out of my business and keep to yourself Got to do things my own way Minimizing freedom with your rules and regulations A never-ending hunger to control Choking out the life of your own population Abusing the power you hold
Power Control For the Power Control
Give me Liberty... or Give me Death Give me Liberty... or Give me Death to our Independence Death to those who fight Death to our Constitution and the Bill of Rights Showing no regard for the way things ought to be Stripping away rights from you and me The Founding Fathers would be rollling in their graves If they could see what you are doing to this place The next thing to go is our Freedom of Speech So i'll speak up while i still can and maximize my reach
Power Control For the Power Control [2x]
Give me Liberty... or Give me Death Give me Liberty... or Give me Death
I find it hard to believe Some things are better left unsaid Is this the land of the free? Democracy is Dead
Cut the rotting branches of Government that stop the people from having meaning today Stay out of my business and keep to yourself Got to do things my own way Minimizing freedom with your rules and regulations A never-ending hunger to control Choking out the life of your own population Abusing the power you hold
Power Control For the Power Control [2x]
Give me liberty or Death
\"When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty\"
3. It Is True
Have you ever gotten suspicious Of the things they try to sell you? You better wise up To the bullshit that they tell you I can't believe we live in a world Where ignorance is bliss and thoughts are controlled
Have you ever heard of using common sense? In this crazy world it's our only defense To stop all the lies To stop all the hate To stop, stop, stop theological debate The world could be a better place in the end If we all could just admit...
It is true They lie to you
Do you even posses a single thought of your own? Or do you believe everything you're told? How can you sleep with this in your mind? Your lack of logic ought to be a crime
If I had the chance I'd say it your face Start thinking for yourself or leave the human race There is no time for making the mistake Of letting them get away with preaching and teaching what is fake
[Solo - Scruggs]
How many people need to die Before you wake up and give your fucking brain a try?
Life is too short to waste time on things That don't make sense to you or me It's obvious and you can see, it's right in front of you
It is true They lie to you There's no truth There's no truth There's no truth
4. Under The Gun
Got your back against the wall No time left, no time to stall Life is about to shoot But you don't know when, you don't know who
Under the gun Under pressure and anxiety You gotta find a way Under the gun Or there is hell to pay Under the gun Eventually... Gotta do what you gotta do
Doing what does not belong Doing what you know is wrong Pressure building up to critical mass Trying not to break the hourglass
[Solo - Scruggs]
Got no room to make mistakes Stuck between a rock and a hard place Life is about to shoot But you don't know when, you don't know who
5. Waste Of Life
You don't know where it is you're going But you know you're on your way Life only gives what you apply Spend every day just searching For something to pass the time So many ways to waste a life
Debasing Replacing Embracing Time wasting Quit thinking Mind shrinking
Wasting your life
Wasting away in a pseudo-existence Let reality pass you by Apathy and consciousness collide You can join the real world Don't let it be denied Cut the cord: activate your mind
[Solo - Scruggs]
You don't know where it is you're going But you know you're on your way Life only gives what you apply Don't let it be a last-minute decision To stop throwing away your time Before you know it, it's over and you die
Stop wasting your life
6. Living Nightmare
Feel the noose tightening around my neck Cannot breathe, choking on every breath
Distressed Unrest
No end in sight Bury me alive Agonizing thoughts penetrate my mind Nobody sees, nobody hears, nobody cares, nobody's there Couldn't be any more aware that I'm living in a nightmare
This is when things go from bad to worse But it isn't a dream, real life is more perverse
[Solo - Scruggs]
Every sound that I make just echoes back Am I really awake?
7. Chasing The Edge
Are you searching for the real truth? Every uncertainty withdrawn I need to break it to you The old way of thinking is dead and gone
We're not the center of the universe Take a look and see The contradiction pointed in reverse I will be...
Chasing the edge Chase the edge
Rethink the possibilities Turn the whole world upside down You've lost all credibility Not a shred of honestly to be found
[Solo - Sanchez / Scruggs]
So, here we are staring into the void The old way of thinking has been destroyed You need to just accept the fact That an open mind has the biggest impact
8. Worse Than War
People die, but never at this rate Genocide still happens to this day Every time history repeats itself The price goes up Human life put on the shelf
Negated Decimated Worse than before Worse than war
We turn a blind eye The brutality of reality goes unseen Dehumanize Is becoming the routine Every time history repeats itself The prices goes up And we pay too much to tell
9. Children Of The Grave
[originally by Black Sabbath]
Revolution in their minds - the children start to march Against the world in which they have to live and all the hate that's in their hearts They're tired of being pushed around and told just what to do They'll fight the world until they've won and love comes flowing through
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way? Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear? Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?
So you children of the world, listen to what I say If you want a better place to live in spread the words today Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave Or you children of today are Children of the Grave, Yeah!
10. Unnatural Selection
See the gates are closing Elimination waits Deeming you unlift for the life just because I decide To constantly remind you That there's a reason why This is where the strongest give and all the weakest die
Separate Defective and unequal Clean slate But it's so unnatural
Showing indifference Mocking perfection Struggle for existence Unnatural selection
Displayed above your head Feeding you the lie Putting you to work to profit off of your demise Systematic servitude Work will set you free Arbitrary suffering, infinite misery
[Solo - Scruggs]
1. Point Of No Return
The world is turning black. There is no turning back. We've reached the point of no return. You need to open your eyes. You can see it even if you're bllind. There is so much we've yet to learn. It should be stressed. To change the world around us. Before everyone is dead. Distractions all around. Mankind must be profound. And look at what is ahead.
We can change our future. We can change our future. We can change our future.
Right now. Perseverance. The concern. Can't go back.
Point of no return. Turning the pages of our lives. We write the book. We choose the cause and effect. What's done is done. Stuck in perpetual motion. Past, present, future connect. It should be stressed. To change the world around us. Before everyone is dead. Distractions all around. Mankind must be profound. And look at what is ahead.
We can change our future. We can change our future. We can change our future.
Right now. Perseverance. The concern. Can't go back.
Point of no return.
2. From The Cradle To The Grave
Trapped, scared to death. As you're running out of breath.... Don't you feel my eyes? I've been this way. From cradle to the grave. Taking life.
I was born with the devil in me. He's been with me ever since. Checking in but you can't check o
