Lyrics

Droning shadow living hell
Sleeping in your mortal shell
Drawn into the crushing gears
Oiled with your selfish tears
Make it complex and arcane
Make it simple and profane
Something overt, in your face
Sweep away the covert trace
Know they'll never learn the source
Crack the whip and stay the course
Dangle puppets from your hand
Dodge the blame and tame the land
Scourge the child with ruthless might
Keep the living out of sight
Like the rhythm of the tide
Stifle, conquer, and divide
Web of murder and deception
Another slave with each conception
False flags flying in the night
Snuffing out all human rights
Killing off the competition
Mechanized with repetition
Soldiers face down in the sand
Crosses clenched in anxious hands
Dig the well and drain it dry
Masturbating as they die
Lay the stones of global tombs
Flood the air with toxic fumes
Light the fire watch it grow
Fuck the worthless status quo
Fuck the self-proclaimed elite
Burn the terms of your defeat

Wake Up
Stand Up
End the fucking silence
Wake Up
Get Up
Spill the blood of the tyrant

Good and evil flipped around
Corpses scattered on the ground
Feed the beast your sons and daughters
Even-handed in the slaughter
Eat the meat and hack the bone
Slumber silent under stone
Population seeks escape
From the under-cover rape
Toil in the fruitless field
Bastard standard on the shield
The many-headed hydra lurks
Cloaks its body with a smirk
Calling out for your surrender
Promises of earthly splendor
I hear the words before you speak
Cynicism at its peak
You seek the proof to grasp and hold
Denying you were bought and sold
Love the mind and hate the heart
Everything is torn apart
Wholes divided and dissected
Symptom of a soul infected
Growing colder, growing thin
Never thought to search within
Empathy left out to dry
Buried with you when you die
Concrete boxes darkened skies
All progression in your eyes
Nature weeps and begs for balance
Still you sharpen eagles' talons
Faces streaked with shit and mud
Tear the flesh and drink the blood

Wake Up
Stand Up
End the fucking silence
Wake Up
Stand Up
Spill the blood of the tyrant

Call me "leftist," "instigator"
"Terrorist," "Emancipator"
Hear the words and make the choice
Hear the sacred inner voice
If you want a revolution
You're the only true solution
Trust your instincts and your head
All the old ways left for dead
Pave the road you seek to walk
Make your actions more than talk
Malice does not rest or sleep
Know the circles that you keep
Leave an aura in your wake
Rebel not for rebellion's sake
Honor in the face of death
Wage the battle with each breath
Leave your ego far behind
For it only serves to blind
Serene amidst the crashing waves
Find the strength you sorely crave
Stones and arrows passing by
Begging you to close your eyes
Persevere you will prevail
With each step you blaze a trail
The heart can never lead you wrong
Standing firm and marching strong
Spread your wings and greet the Sun
One with No-thing, all in One
Shaping our reality
Being what we're meant to be
Souls expanding larger still
Boundless light, relentless Will

Wake Up
Stand Up
End the fucking silence
Wake Up
Stand Up
Spill the blood of the tyrant
