This is for the souls constantly at war
For the ones who have been cast down, but never brought back up
I am here to show you that you are more
Than the worthlessness that they have left you for
I am a sinful man; my heart is heavy just like yours
But I'll be damned if I just let this end me
I'm gonna stand up and be all that I can be
One by one we build them up
The cities to come and the cities that are to fall
This is our painful cycle in which we're trapped 
Everyday you think you're living a nightmare
But I won't back down from the calling I've heard myself
And you won't stop me, you won't shut my liberal mouth
Between the heart of God and my selfish mind I am alive for I fear no man
Cut out their tongues from their throats as they try to speak
Force them to hear all the lies from your disbelief
All for one and one for himself now
Show me you're here, show them you're here
It's time to rise up! Take back the lives they stole
Push forth! Open the doors they close
Are we as pointless as they make us out to be?
Or are we men that will fight until we're free? Make the choice.
I know that you're trying to speak 
But they'll never hear you when your lungs are too weak
When they tell you what's done is done
Just remember who you are before they shoot the gun
When they tell you that you're in debt, just remember who you are
When they tell you to take what's left, don't give up on yourself
Look around, this is old news
Men who desire power with a drive to kill
History repeats over and over again
Nothing changes but the faces and names of the men
We drown in their flood
While they're drenched in our blood
Over and over and what do you have to show?
Nothing more than the dollar bill that you owe Men who desire power with a drive to kill You wanna shut me up, You wanna slow me down You wanna mock everything I live for
All around us, a faithless world of deceit, leaving gaping holes in our minds
But when I look to my home, I recall that my heart was always broken

Killing dreams with stone cold lies These traditions seem everlasting Leadership from hateful minds Everywhere you look there is a forceful hand Pushing forward moving backward, exposing your open mouth Now my time has come to force this down your throat If I were you i'd wipe the grin right off your cunning face Your days are numbered and everything is falling into place now I've spent my life watching this corrode my mind I am the product of your fault Dispose, sudden death You saw this coming, didn't you? Taking all we had This is despotism Your lies have led you nowhere but to your grave The lies you make us all hear will all die with you The world around me crashing down Will I refuse to stand my ground? With every step and every breath this leads us closer to our death Will we let this happen? And in my mind, all I see The people all around me, these painful looks surround me We can't be alone, I'm trying my hardest to keep my head level And what am I? just a another life that lives and breathes just as you do You've devalued the things that i love so much To the point where I don't know myself Feel my pulse at least I have one beating faster to the sound of justice being served Devastation, defoliation, hearing the words come from your mouth Again and again as you try to expand this two-faced vision of our nation And now the time has come for me to stand up and tell you, You have no idea how long I've waited for this. You're holding hands with the one who enslaves humanity You think you own me, When you don't even know my name.

Abrogate 03:58
Who are you to me and to what do I owe the pleasure of being shut down I'm being ripped up and cast aside Just another product of a manipulative machine that plagues this earth I'm bleeding every ounce of abhorrence out from my neck I'd die one thousand time before you ever opened up your eyes To what is real and what is counterfeit I've done my time I've made my calculations Your fear is my map and I'm going to find you So brace yourself You see the things that you want to see Preaching the lies you bestow on me I wait for all of the world to see You are the darkness surrounding me You say my name, I play the game Then when the water's calm you'll say its all the same Its time to break from the mold Free your mind from what you've been told Watch me as I abrogate With heavy hearts and broken souls We crawl to the light We reach for the gold But what are we if we are silent? Forced unto the gallows we watch each other die This world is an abomination of human life Isolate the ugly, we force-feed lies Why do we live? Why do we die? Why do we destroy everything we see? I'll change your destroyed life But first I'll split the ground open We will not fall through the cracks You know I'm watching you, it's time I stood my ground and fight The world may fear your open mind.

One Nation 03:39
Humanity, Civilization object to the unholy one Hatred stains everything you see Now I'm left standing here with him staring at me Bitter cold cuts right through my core I hear his voice but I refuse to obey To the public eye they disguise the truth The world hides the voice from behind the booth But there's so much more to life than beating yourself to death Separated by the brainwork of superiority Catechized to think that money can save you Looking at your life as if you're decomposing And don't you know that you're more than this? Take me to the basis of your mind So I can show you real truth We're so close to the enemy The only thing on our mind is war One nation in distress, When they turn their back the world sees us wrong One nation under God But you tell me, honestly Is God the one dropping the bombs? Somewhere along the line they forgot who we were Did you forget who you were? Lifetimes of senseless cycles Born free then forced unto the circle Will you accept the chains that they forge? Or will we fight for the life we're born for? I will not be blinded, I will not be set aside I cannot let them cover my mouth I'm gonna pull back their fingers Until the whole world hears me speak I've been waiting for too long I can hear the music, but not the song It's time to sing as one It's time to move the nation It's time to move this world

Unheard 04:55
Walking the same streets over and over With no guidance to point my feet Looking in mirrors to see my face distorted Is there no end to my self-defeat? I clench fist I'm done with this Tear the serpent from my spine I'm confessing everything I'm calling out what I see I see the world in constant ruin Tongues of disgust much too fluent Our impressionable youth is watching the world burn I am only one man fighting with my own hands Out of the darkness so listen and understand That if we stand up and speak as one Then maybe one day we will see the rising sun This is your life, but tell me what are you living for Selling more than the blood flowing through your veins Don't tell me that you can't fight through this When you never even asked to be alive You never had to be alive. Unbreakable shackles, holding you back Constantly pushing back the knife that grazes your neck Everyday you awake in panic, and claim to sleep untrue I can hear your beckoning go unheard, so my friend, let me ask you What if I just fell apart, What if I just slipped away What if the last breath left your lungs, What if it all just ends today I pray and pray so God, hear me now I've finally made my choice All I want is to reach out and tell them But what if they never hear my voice? All of the lust that fooled my flesh All of the bullshit that fills my ears All of the hatred that spills my blood Just take this all away Think of all the years you've spent Before the last breath leaves your lungs Think of all the words you could say Because what if they never hear your voice?
