Lyrics:





rise!
or remain below,
and be swept away forever,
it is the way of this world

to forsake risk,
is to take,
the take the 
greatest 
risk of them all
just a paradox so cold 

cowering in safety,
leaves you helpless and confused,
wouldn't you rather,
take another path,

I would prefer to ascend to the clouds,
smite down the villains who dare to attack
should such a villain in might overcome,
face death with courage and weapon in hand,
weapon in hand,
weapon in hand

the path above is,
frought with peril,
some of us,
would not take it,
live in mud,
with silent tongues,
yet the ground,
to some is toxic,
bereft of choice,
and worthy voice,
the only hope,
lies above,

on this path,
we have no mercy,
for the ones which,
block our way,
those who doubt,
will always fail,
we won't look back,
when they turn,
singular minds,
we have no eyes,
for anything,
besides this life,

even if we
were to die
on this march
we would have won the
fight to die 
as who we are
so you see ,
we cannot lose,
so you know,
we cannot fail,
to ascend to,
this great fate, 

ascend!

Ascend

Lyrics


bound by
chains of hell
apparent to none but the,
bearer himself,
with the gravest intent,
and all this rage unspent

certain death awaits

the longer you stay
the harder it gets 
the longer you stay - get out now
the harder it gets - get out now

i curse the lie we tell,
the one that erodes our,
strength and our will,
snuffing the fire 
so we ,		
make peace for fear,
pretend it will save our lives

the longer you stay
the harder it gets 
the longer you stay - get out now
the harder it gets - get out now

do not defer to the good shepherd,
he'll slaughter you just like,
all of the rest,
soothing your mind in,
exchange for your life,
a madness we all share

the longer you stay
the harder it gets 
the longer you stay - get out now
the harder it gets - get out now
the longer you stay - get out now
the harder it gets - get out now
the longer you stay - get out now
the harder it gets - get out now

Lyrics


the end is nigh,
no aid in sight,
desperate times,
stir up a fight,

my life was lived,
inside a shell,
filled with fear,
and held-back tears

now's my chance,
to feel alive,
break through hell,
and touch the sky

I'll show them,
a new desire,
sweep away,
their filthy lies,

dive into,
the darknesss within,
walk those paths,
for the insane,
even if,
it leads you to hell,
you could say,
you have no regrets,


they speak of sins,
they speak of crimes,
but they live like sheep,
and die like flies

tried so hard,
to be their kind,
but their pent up rage,
will never fade,

soon you'll be,
like one of them,
bent with shame,
and lying faith,

I'll show them,
a new desire,
sweep away,
their filthy lies,

dive into,
the darknesss within,
walk those paths,
for the insane,
even if,
it leads you to hell,
you could say,
you have no regrets,

I'm hated now,
by all that cared,
but I'm still proud,
of what I made,

freedom's price,
has been so steep,
but I won't strike,
a taste so sweet,

from memory's store,
it comes with me,
to honorued grave,
for once i was brave

I'll show them,
a new desire,
sweep away,
their filthy lies,

dive into,
the darknesss within,
walk those paths,
for the insane,
even if,
it leads you to hell,
you could say,
you have no regrets,

Heisenberg

Lyrics


something happened,
i don't understand,
the ground beneath me,
has crumpled away,
watching helpless,
my body demands,

stand up and walk,
to the kitchen,
and open,
the drawer with tools of destruction,

this hammer,
this ball-peen hammer, 
it's perfect

hammer the drywall to powder,
smash up the chair into sawdust,
there's so much i want to destroy,
it's my way to regain control

a mad world sometimes
calls for madness,
to bring back order,
one must destroy,
clawing my way out,
cause i won't be smothered

not while i have my weapon of choice,
the one that sits in the kitchen drawer,
this hammer,
this ball-peen hammer,
it's perfect

hammer the drywall to powder,
smash up the chair into sawdust,
there's so much i want to destroy,
it's my way to regain control

some of you would say that i
need some help from someone else,
but i tell you the only ,
help i need is my hammer,
it's perfect 

hammer the drywall to powder,
smash up the chair into sawdust,
there's so much i want to destroy,
it's my way to regain control

Holes In The Walls

safety valve

I am edge of a sharpened knife,
a small nudge could end a life,
that life might be mine,
a deep breath just won't suffice

it doesn't feel good to lose control,
these actions just aren't my own,
you know the luck won't last,
I need a safety valve,

where do i turn where all goes wrong,
the internal grind is a silent song,
one more slip and i am through,
the only place I can look

overheated,
sentenced to burn,
one way,
to save it all, 
reach for,
the safety valve,
failure,
would be the last,

some of us just can't resist,
to stir up a little fit,
in a world we don't belong,
the alien is always wrong,

stare in shock as we light the flame,
devastation is our only name,
and yet we must survive,
do something to stay alive,

where do i turn where all goes wrong,
the internal grind is a silent song,
one more slip and i am through,
the only place I can look

overheated,
sentenced to burn,
one way,
to save it all, 
reach for,
the safety valve,
failure,
would be the last,

always escaping by a single breath,
constantly living on the edge,
the heart hammers a pulse of dread,
a few more blows and my soul is dead,

i can't keep on going this way,
listen to my plea and set me free

Safety Valve

Ain't It A Sin (Charles Bradley Cover)

Lyrics

Trapped -
In this trench,
Covered in dirt,
In for the -
(Long haul - There's no other)

Way - 
For us to exist.
The fight never ends.
The best you can -
(Hope for - A moment to)

Breath,
Do not despair,
A warrior's life,
Is not all,
(Pain and - Suffering)

There's no honor in wasting away.
A slow unremarkable death - 
Their voices beg you to cave.

No.
I will not break.
Beat me and rape me -
it won't be enough

If I was to stop,
I may as well die.
The life of a lamb -
Is not much to lose

Can't shake the feeling -
The safe path's a lie,
It seems everyday that -
(It leads one astray)

Can't trust the preacher -
He lives in the dark,
Won't trust the devil, but-  
(Who the hell does?),

If no one has,
The answers we want,
What the hell- Why don't we -
Make it all up?

,
The lack of light smothers whatever you were
Why don't you just,
lay down and die?

No.
I will not break.
Beat me and rape me-
it won't be enough

If I was to stop,
I may as well die.
The life of a lamb-
Is not much to lose

The only thing that I know -
The only thing that is sane -
The only way I go -  
The only word that I say:

No.

Attrition

Lyrics

My haven lies,
Behind these eyes,
A shield unseen,
Reflects the tide.

Sheltered or smothered,
A prison or cover,
What once had been there,
Is beyond repair.

Defenses are strong- so that naught can invade,
A friend or a foe - since they all look the - same.

What has become of the will to befriend?
The damage is done and it can't be reversed,
For all of the people that live in this world,
I can't see anyone but my goddamned self.


Hold - the - fortress,
I won't let you in,

Stay away and don't come back- 
For any words you try to say-
Are falling on the deafest ears-
So get a grip and go away-

It might be fair - to say,
I'm partly to blame,
Though if you knew where I've been,
You might disagree.

I'm not a cynic,
Because I've got my reasons,
Call them a pressing breed,
You might disagree.

I can't really tell -is this a curse or a gift,
And a gift I should leave or a curse I should -  keep?

What has become of the will to befriend?
The damage is done and it can't be reversed,
For all of the people that live in this world,
I can't see anyone but my goddamned self.

The peace, for which I cast aside,
A familiarity with the folks,
The forsaken loves I'll never know,
since I won't let them close.

But I have made my choice now,
And intend to let it stand,
Don't bother trying to make me switch,
I think it's you who needs the - help

What has become of the will to befriend?
The damage is done and it can't be reversed,
For all of the people that live in this world,
I can't see anyone but my goddamned self.
