Laid to ashes, a freedom up for sale,

Design your lifestyle, the ancients will prevail

Rip apart the flesh that’s raw,

I’ll have you kneel your satan, stand your angel, fall down to the floor.

And I’ve never felt the same,

They detained my will, and chained my right to say,

Take my words from me, twist them on the ground,

Out of sight and out of mind,

My psychology, a jail you can’t unwind,

I’m out of fight, not out of time, out of time.

Brick by brick,

Disintegrate the power, take it.

Fix by fix,

Repair a nation that decides by.

Stamp and stick,

The future is a place where honour will prevail.

Take my words from me, and twist them on the ground,

It’s Out of sight and out of mind,

My psychology, a jail you can’t unwind,

I’m out of fight, not out of time, out of time.

Gasp to breathe, revealed by fear, death infection heals a nation,

Quarantine the weak to see, the demon teeth enslaves creation,

Smash the door, get the needle out back, I got my guns, got my ammunition,

Society, belief in me, the price of free, philosophy, ethical attrition,

I step into the plague, the dogs are at war,

Humanity is freed like never before,

My visions fade into pain,

As my body takes the fight to the end,

Unshackled armies will maim,

I will never take this devil to send,

Don’t mistake my weakness for white flags in the air,

I’ve stared down evil let the devil beware

You don’t scare me,

I’ve found my way,

Unbridled power,

Is in my veins,

Don’t mistake my strength as a defender who cares

My visions fade into pain,

As my body takes the fight to the end,

Unshackled armies will maim,

I will never take this devil to send,

My visions fade into pain,

As my body takes the fight to the end,

Unshackled armies will maim,

I will never take this devil to send.

Step into the fields to see, my people chained in misery,

The ancients saw this war,

Devastate humility, a plague that lasts forevermore,

Fuelling sympathy,

And I never stepped aside,

Family drives this pride inside of me

I step inside the fire,

Onward I will go avenge the free,

Step aside, light this fire, get out on the road,

It’s time to move to a future state,

16 hours to devour everything they show,

One by one, we dismantle hate,

Every day, defeat my limitations, getting stronger, building power every way,

Far out of sight my mind defends our honor, save the fallen, always gonna keep them at bay,

The darkness breeds a throne of one, never stare into the sun,

For this war has now begun, 

Look around of me, see my people flee, fate has nailed its cross into my feet, 

A million miles away, my family celebrate crusades, the fear of losing everything they made in me,

Mortar, shells, and handmade hand grenades,

Mud and grit and blood right on my face,

Fear is the fuel that powers them to their core, 

Defenders of the grave,  

Get out,

Never to defeat you,

Right now,

Don’t let them besiege you

A sickness feeds my hatred every day

My honor fades

My honor fades, it fades away,

My honor fades, it fades away.

As the Suez wailed, and Nassar’s men prevailed,

Great Britain pushed into the pocket as the politician’s monarchy failed,

My pen means war, like never before,

These goddamn classless bastards whose reign we never support,

Some things have gotta change, a new era of a modern world prevails,

Aristocracy defined, dictators serve mankind, now it’s time to pave a brand new way,

Let’s go!

In the shadows I watch you, silent and unknown,

No trinkets, no calling card, no ascentation to the throne,

In a world of convention, a parahia in their way,

I’m not your enemy but the path to the peoples way,

I promise I see you,

And I feel the cage in your mind,

I never deceived you,

I just want to watch you thrive,

You’re always my queen, in service to me, and I’ll never walk away,

From shadows come light, my honesty fights, and the truth will see this day.

At the break of dawn, they make the call,

One bullet to the head, he’s dead, there ain’t no time to stonewall,

His genocide, we justified,

Shred the papers, save the haters, train the traitors, denied,

Our uniforms, became deformed,

We fight preemptive rights, our line of sight into the night,

We’ll go away, and seal this day,

Confessors and oppressors under pressure, we will never!

An exodus to lands of far, my church enabled me,

Bedfellows of moral might, as we venture to the sea,

As we hit landfall, they make the call,

In transit via bandits, to an old abandoned music hall,

The lights are low, our new skid row,

I will take my hatred to the grave,

I feel it

I see it

We step into the ratlines

Step into the sea

The ratlines

Hostile absentee

The ratlines

Feed them to the crows

The ratlines

Never will they know, where I go,

I am hidden inside of this dream,

All my nightmares, they aren’t what they seem

From here.

As I lay in my bed all alone,

All my handlers are are gone from my throne,

All that’s left is the ash of my fate,

All their faces, all their smiles, all their futures are nevermore,

For my pride, I have no-one to blame,

Close my eyes, look up high,

My redemption is suicide,

But this mission will not benefit from the weak,

Get out of here,

You must rid all this fear,

Repent to the wall,

They offer no life, no value, your hate will conquer this war.

The ratlines

The ratlines

The ratlines

As the devil assailed his dreams, his visions snapped apart,
Staring into the future seen, the seventh angel’s heart.

We will never besiege their god on high,
With their prayers and rituals decried,
We will never accept them here down low,
We will see how far their reverence goes,

As their ardor and glory fails,
And the weak will fall down at their grail,
I’m watching, I’m seeing, I’m walking with you,
And the wolf he slowly sees…

I wake up on the floor,
My head and body’s sore,
I never fall, and I’m not so small, what the hell is going on?

I see these horns and visions and monsters walk away,
Hard shadows that presuppose that the horror’s on it’s way,

Noone will see me creep, and hide inside the snakepit,
Red fruit in the eyes of youth, the failed decree to feed,
Getting closer I smell your hair, this innocence defies me,
All your angels and all your prayers, I’ll never take the knee,

As I slither, skin it sheds, this evil’s beastly,
I slide into the cracks inside your soul, it frees me from my fate,

Awoken by the sound, the birds, the trees, machines of war wind down,
I try to raise my head, my ears they ring, I can’t escape the dead,
I just want to go right home now, make it go away,

I struggle to my knees, the field is scattered, all my friends lay by my feet,
The pain etched in their gaze, a thousand memories of innocence and fate,
It’s all slipped away now, as our sandman prays, he prays, cause we’re here at the end of our days,

And I…I felt them all die,
Ten thousand men, the neverending battle, fighting our rights,
And I….I can’t cry.

Sitting in the warm sunlight, effortlessly cold,
I can’t feel emotion in my soul,

Sitting in a bunker in a concrete room, the commander he moves his pawns,
He pushes pieces to the other side and he signals we move at dawn,
As the heavy machinery moves through the night, filled with bullets and graves, and the pride of the fight,
The human cost is nothing as the politics fly, with the plea of injustice, as we all go to die,

Hooking us on glory with their ads on TV,
Now I see it all as clear as day,
It doesn’t matter what anyone does,
The war machine prevails,

Stare at the blood red skies,
I’m never gonna look away,
Their fear is our guiding light,
As the corporation pays,

Pride, honor, and victory,
A patriotic right to our names,
Endless stories through history,
The power, flag, and honor will fade,
We failed…
…their names
