Leviathan

A dire desolation, so this is a "new normal"?
To kiss the flames imposed upon us;
the mandate of tomorrow
The world we knew is gone
But we'll keep fighting on
Hold fast for the last time
In the face of tyranny (its your right!)
Through faded veils of liberty
they've pulled the perfect crime tonight
To get away with murder, while chalking up the numbers
Despair is spread in equal measure;
populations lulled to mindless slumber

Kickin' Up Dust
01:07

Kickin’ up dust in this abandoned town,
The streets are left bare, scuffed boots are scarred brown.
All that remains are the settled and the scared,
The rats and the dumb, defeated and the spared.
No charge, no change, they'll barely hear you shout.
The spores infest, rot from the inside out.
No charge, no change, they'll barely hear you shout.
They'll barely hear you shout!
I can't see this bleak reality,
take a one-eighty twist, so speed to atrophy.
choking on the fumes of a third rate livin'
A second rate end is far more forgiving
They'll NEVER hear you shout!

Busted,
is the system all the cogs and chains are Rusted,
moving forward underwater
We should be the first to say
that this is supposed to change
But it's backwards,
and you're standing in our way
You need perspective like a hole in the head
No time to get the facts and back up all the bullshit you said
And God can't help us now that he's been declared dead
Order a ticket for a train of thought and make the tracks in your head
Hollow
are the thoughts that form in minds of those that follow
And they spread it like a cancer
We should be the first to say
that this is supposed to change
But we can't now,
we're biting back; is it too late?

Needles & Pins

Needles and pins,
now the war begins.
The demons are lurking,
The vultures are circling.
The darkness longingly grins.
The journey you've travelled has taken it's toll,
burnt the candle at both ends, melting outta control.
Blurry faces, fake embraces.
Who to trust, they're all persuasive?
Slipping deeper from reality!
Ascend the stairs transfixed in a daze,
an evil green hue illuminates the way,
Hidden parts of your mind lost in a maze,
a spindle prick burns you up in a blaze!
Distant voices, making noises.
crowded sanity, demanding choices.
Slipping deeper from reality!
Eyes roll back, pulse growing weak,
your hand in mine losing it's grip.
The dashing rocks, thy sea sick weary bark,
Here's to my love - i'll sip.

We've kept our eyes closed for so long that we don't know where to go,
when we see the shit that's real and it's just as bad as we wished it wasn't,
i will stay vigilant I will stay on my guard,
man isn't man's best friend those fuckers should be fed to the dogs.
Am I destined now to be
Stuck here endlessly?
Surrounded by this vicious cruelty taking place around me?
A place devoid of empathy
And lack of courtesy
Sacks of blind eyes by the roadside stretches out before me.

Horizons

Left on leave life's lows loom laughing,
All that hurt don't amount to nothin'
These wounds aren't healing quite that fast.
Stuck in a cycle showing signs of wearing,
The twist is twisting tighter tearing,
Something's not gonna last.
Without pain there'd be no love.
Without nightmares there'd be no dreams.
“Let's rule the world!”,
That's what you said.
You can't back down,
You can't opt out of this.
Without nightmares there'd be no dreams.
Pistols penetrate purposely,
Purchased prepared unpeacefully,
12012 don't mean shit in the wild west.
We'll lift this world up on our shoulders,
Brothers in arms stand tall like soldiers.
March on back home, for the real test.
Heart of a lion
Appetite and roar
Assembled his pride
Armed and ready for war
Kicked on his boots and
Laced up his laces
Jumped in first with a grin on his face!

The Record Spins

|
Your eyes don't tell the truth no more,
your vows change in the breeze.
The blueprints of a better WORLD,
have brought us to our knees.
Fiction turned reality,
how did we end up here?
Fallen hopes and forgotten dreams,
our future's left unclear.
The record spins, the needle skips!
The paint's not dry, it flakes and strips!
Down the line the standard slips!
The record spins, the needle skips!

Sharp Left
03:29

Don't want your tolerance;
your brand of inclusion
Black bloc fake activist
Deluded fascist illusion
You're making it too easy to burn you to the ground
When you hear a counter-argument you only make one sound;
"Fuck you and all your nazi propaganda right out this town!"
We thrive on insubordination
We think ourselves the spartans on the street
We'll shank you in defense of the oppressed
We live to see the opposition bleed
I've cracked a skull or two
I live in the basement
How long can a rally run?
Did you post it on Facebook?
A cavalry of white knights, in all black
Liberty rots, as the poison seeps

Julie & Juliette
01:38

Her parents didn't agree with,
The life she had "chosen to live”,
She'd met one too many arseholes that took more than they could give.
Why can't you be like your sister, full of sadness, debt and kids
Why must life be so black and white, why block her path to happiness?
Brainwashed through ancient law and parental austerity,
Side by side they sailed south escaping asperity
She tolerated judgement and endured it for too long
Now it's time to fight back, lovin' is never wrong.
Julie and Juliette was them against the world.
The taste was stale, the final nail, before true love prevails
Julie and Juliette, no one's the right to change you.
You live one life, Clarity, reinvent the fairytale
Always told to stand up straight, listen up and not speak out.
The kids are always wrong,
but the kids will always shout!
This is what pushed her away, it's a consequence of your hand.
now of age and in control,
no longer to take demands!

A blind man in an exhibition of fine art,
He was brought up to believe, never trust the dreams in his heart.
Awaken to a flood of colour,
That which is banned is just another desire.
LONG LAST!
The sound of the...
OUTCAST!
The tables have...
TURNED FAST!
Presenting, the man with a voice, without face or sound.
The sun still shines through the changes of season, though
there's a lot to prevent it rise.
At the end of a stroke, he found his reason,
And opened up people's eyes.

Patched Genes
02:48
|

|
Unlock the door break from this seed,
to a world where misfit morons breed.
Genetically, effecting me, from the off I've hit a wall,
Dehumanised, I've realised that my life is bound to stall.
I was bought up this way,
These traditions are not mine,
This reputation was passed down,
I am the epitome of swine.
Patches and defects,
These genes were sewn blind,
My existence seems so far behind.
The struggle persists, arguments consist of doubt,
Shrug off the jeers, there is no easy way out.
I leave behind no imprint, no grand impression in time,
Prolonging this futureless cycle my only crime.

I do not care where you've been!
I do not care what you've seen!
I do not care about the way that you interpret,
The things that mean nothing to me!
YARI-MAN.
YARI-MAN.
YARI-MAN.
I do not care how you think!
Don't push your shit ideals on me!
Who are you to try and signal out your virtue;
The fucking language police?
How does it feel to be a martyr?
To you and only you, and no-one else!
Burn away the effigies of heroes!
Forget about their ashes on the shelf!

Independance Day
03:44
|

|
Turned my back on the empire we built,
After watching the whole garden wilt,
Were you ever really there for me?
These buds don’t die gracefully.
We can’t fix now what’s already broke,
The trust’s lost the fire’s been stoked.
Do you feel like we’ve been here before?
I’ve been here before!
Leave this all behind
(I thought you’d never)
Abandon this twisted design
(Drain the poison)
Never promised to you that I’d stay
(Given up hope so)
This is my independence day.
Perspective is blurred as the days come and pass,
The moat’s dug the shadow’s been cast.
Is it running or staying a float?
I’m not being your fuckin’ scapegoat!
But escape from the bow to the stern,
The ship’s still ablaze and will burn.
Learn to create change and thrive,
Stand side by side - diversified.
