Now is the time for me to rise to my feet Wipe the spit from my face Wipe these tears from my eyes
Now is the time for me to rise to my feet Wipe the spit from my face Wipe these tears from my eyes I've got to take my life back One chance to make it right I've gotta make my voice my heard And bring meaning to this life Cause I trusted for nothing I've been tried and tested But I won't accept defeat Now I've done things I regret And it's time to reverse the rolls I just want to make good on the promises that I have made
I will be I will be heard I will be heard
Through the worst we prevail So our voices will be heard Through the worst we prevail So our voices will beard
Now is the time for me to rise to my feet
Wipe the spit from my face Wipe these tears from my eyes I've got to take my life back One chance to make it right I've gotta have my voice be heard And bring meaning to this life Cause I trusted for nothing I've been led astray I've been tried and tested But I won't accept defeat Now I've done things I regret And it's time to reverse the rolls I just want to make good on the promises that I have made
You came to me with salvation, saying I must repent. You offer up your redemption, a guarantee for a better life in your safe world. Your illusions are comfort for your conscience. My sacrifices will be made in honor of what is truly sacred. How can you save me, when you can't save yourself? You can't save yourself.
What makes you think everything in this world That you have can be taken away? In the world this day, it's kill or be killed I live each day like it might be my last
In this lifetime, few things are worth fighting for My blood, your honor Everyone has a destiny I'll choose my own
I will not be a victim I'll choose my own My cries won't go unheard I'll choose my own I got to fight (fight) for myself I'll choose my own And by my own control - destiny
I'll choose my own destiny And I'll never let anyone take away what I hold so true I won't live in denial And I won't turn the other cheek I must remain convicted and never accept this suffering I've learned from my mistakes And I've made a promise to myself I won't live in the past I won't live in the past
I've been affected by your lies And I've let them hold me back I wasn't thinking for myself I wasn't living for myself
I will not be a victim I'll choose my own My cries won't go unheard I'll choose my own I got to fight (fight) for myself I'll choose my own And by my own control
What I have in my heart What I have in my heart I'll take to my grave
Bastard cries, feed the fire. The burning desire to rob human life. In this world full of fear of the unknown. Twisting the perception of the weak. Lying to progress. Only achieving greed. Seated behind the sun. Myths bleed into one Searching for a saviour to lead us through this life. Where our sanity is undone. Killing against our will. Killing for the bastard maker. The fairy tale. The non existent. Salvation so bittersweet the taste brought fear to our tongues. Preying on the weak. Fatherless creation encased in the depths of humanity. They continue to rape and call it purity. I will not bow down because of out past. I see now mankind was not meant to last.
Thrown into this living hell. I was thrown into this living hell. I am the hatred taken from another's life. Born unwanted, extracted of all that is humane. No one can relate to my abandonment. I walk this earth alone in search of salvation Forever, Forever. Forever. Alone. A tormented seed given a chance to grow. The end result of moral choice. Only to live a tortured life as the product of rape. Under a mother's face of innocence, And a father with eyes of a demon. Conceived through an act of violence. (x4) I was thrown into this living hell. I didn't ask to be this way. I was thrown into this living hell.
Hatred evokes the memories that make your blood run cold. Fear and sorrow push you away from yourself. (chorus) How can you face the world? When you can't face the mirror. How can you leave your past? With blood on your hands? Can you run away all your life? Can you escape your punishment? How many times can you start it all again? How many lies will it take to cover your tracks? (chorus) Mo matter how far you go Those days are right behind. The facade of your perfect life Cannot hide your perfect past. There is no escape
Drifting by the heavens unscarred. Yet unhealed before a bleeding cross. Thrown into the ash. Crumbling. [chorus] I've been crossed like the lies on a clock's face. I've been fed lies I can't comprehend. I've become but a mere seed again. And I'll prophesize the end. Now. I have yet begun to fight.
There is no fear in my heart. No cause worthy of my respect. In the End I'll run. I won't fall prey to deception. Deception is the means by which they profit. Deceit if their hearts. Evil within their souls. The cruelty by which they exploit will not be part of my life.
Living as we rot, Showered with shadows of dreams devoured. Our souls descend into endless seas of sin. There's no turning back. No repenting, no remorse. Hate stricken creation. I realize in this world.
[chorus x2] There is not one truth cast into stone. Only lies cast into flames. It's time to burn. Burn alive. Burn at the stake.
Our eyes crystal clear, our bodies frozen with fear, and there's nothing to save us now from endless suffering and solitude. We've lost the chance to save this dying world. So we pay the price, of which no one can afford.
In a cold unforgiving world, alone with fear and weakness, oppressed and dying slowly. Countless people have been betrayed by life. No one is exempt. No one is safe. So many lives will be taken. So many lives been ruined. So many live hang is balance. So many lives have been lost. Betrayed by life. As survivors we are left to try there tears. We are left to mend their wounds. We are left to pick up the pieces of those who have been betrayed by life.
I was so blind. I couldn't see the truth. I was unable to see how my life was being used. To be something so miniscule. Everything i thought was so definite, I thought was so real was thrown away and will be remembered among unpaling hatred. [chorus] Consider my suffering. Through all your pain. Remember my face. I'm digging your grave. Since when was so sacred, turning into something so wrong. something so important to me. Cheapened and exploited. I won't be that way, I can't, I can't be that way again. I can't, I won't, I will never let it. [repeat chorus] For the rest of your fucking life you will mark my words.
All the prayers in the world can't bring you back. It's your last breath, this is your last breath. Taken from this earth without warning. Victim of the ultimate injustice. Nothing will ever make sense of this. Nothing could have prepared me. All that is left are memories, and the pieces of a shattered existence. I wish I could bring you back. I felt your last breath. its your last breath this is your last breath All the prayers in the world can't bring you back. its your last breath this is your last breath last breath
No on can redeem themselves, no one can be saved. In a dying world filled with enslavement and endless apathy. A tortured past and not much future a tattered earth remains, destitute and alone in madness. Burial for the living. Our earth stripped of wealth. Burial of the living. Our bodies drained of life. In a world full of enemies, I'm an enemy of the world. There is only so long we have to live, our dying days are spent waiting for history to repeat itself. Our only hope is vengeance.
Conditioned to feel nothing We turn our backs on all these crimes Cries fall on deaf ears, and the killing continues They say what we don't know will never hurt us But nothing could be, further from the truth
[chorus]
In your uncaring life - we are worlds apart In this race doomed to fail - we are worlds apart In this system you support - we are worlds apart In my soul - we are worlds apart (we are worlds apart)
Every seconds breath life into a reason for dying. Our ignorance will only stunt our final will to live. Bound and Gagged. I feel forced back in a losing race. I've been stepped on and passed by but I have enough hope to keep fighting. All of my life. All of my pain. Driven by suffering [x2] Every single choice I must make. Driven by suffering [x2]
Trapped within your own apathy Spiraling into a cycle of loss Beaten mind with a bruised reflection It's addiction to failure and substances that ties you to your selfish punishment In your eyes it's cursed No fix, no cure, tortured with imperfection Your hatred is aimless
This is my hatred, this is my vow Never to be broken
'Cause you hate yourself And you hate this world And you hate the fact That you hate every moment
Defeatist, you and I will never be the same
I've taken this vow of hatred (Take the vow) A promise to myself to never be my own defeatist This is my hatred, this is my vow Never to be broken
'Cause you hate yourself And you hate this world And you hate the fact That you hate every moment
Defeatist, you and I will never be the same
I take this vow I take this vow of hatred I take this vow, never to be broken
Look up now into the mirror that you despise, Keep looking ¸over your shoulder, (they shadow me and always be around) It's living in you, on you, eating you alive! Appears the striking ressemblance, appears your scars, Confront the horrors of self! What no one knows is why you fear, those ??? Only horror ??? time, Concede what has been lost, Spitting into your own reflection, Spewing ??? reality, You're just a spec of sand in an endless desert of agony! Horrors of self! I must confront this! Confront the horror! Horrors of self, Must be confronted to be forgiven, Horrors of self, Conceal my time annihilate the past (to/without) be forgotten, Horrors of self, Must be confronted to be forgiven. Horrors of self, Must be revealed to achieve constriction, Horrors of self!
When I was at my weakest And I had given in Some had guided me help Some rejoiced to my failures The few that believed Gave me power and life Gave me strength with there trust Surrounding me with light
No limit to what can be achieved MIND OVER ALL Power that is yet to be seen MIND OVER ALL Envious ability MIND OVER ALL Stare now into glory
It's within and it's growing Their mark is not worn It's purest devotion It's the war of knowing They are there for me They are part of who I am It's within me in spirit And beside me in battle
No limit to what can be achieved MIND OVER ALL Power that is yet to be seen MIND OVER ALL Envious ability MIND OVER ALL Stare now into glory MIND OVER ALL
BECOME EMPOWERED
No limit to what can be achieved MIND OVER ALL Power that is yet to be seen MIND OVER ALL Envious ability MIND OVER ALL Stare now into glory MIND OVER ALL
