  1. 13 Years
  Reason sutlers, boundaries are none
 Needin binds with fear of in one
 I am the knowledge that the hateful crave
 All things to all men, to all men 
 
 Hatred, hate without reason
 I am the one that you crave
 Broken, rip you to pieces
 This love betrayed 
 
 I am existence to you, I am world
 I am a life disdain
 Total resistance leaves me cold
 13 years of pain
 Count on me for nothing, you shall receive
 Countless are the dreams that I've been having
 Forcing you to bleed
 Take all from the weak and never give
 These tears aphrodisiac to me 
 
 Halted... 
 
 I am existence...
 What you felt for me once you'll feel again
 On the shame
 On the last day
 This knowledge I have found because I am shame
 This is you pain and this my strength
 Fed sick on deception we are one 
 
 Hatred... 
 
 I am existence...
 
 
 
  2. Scourge
  Where there's life you bring pain
 Where there's light the dark stain
 Bleed the colour of the shame
 Where there's with speak only lies
 Where there was laughter hear the cries
 I am the truth that you despise
 One world, your aim is destruction
 The time that tells is your one enemy
 Should you, ever see nobility
 Truth hurts so you breed dishonesty
 You're pulling the strings of the toy humanity
 That you have soiled
 The killing 
 
 You force my mind
 To discharge lies
 Where there's joy you bring tears
 Where they dream implant fear
 You are ever near
 Into hope inject despair
 With remorse you charge the air
 Find only blackness in the stare
 Cut down, the sane will never rise
 You've taken another slice from the dream they sacrifice
 And now I stand a better man
 Big words but your weakness I despise
 You know the tremor betrays a thin disguise
 And we will crush and you will crawl 
 
 You force my mind
 To discharge lies
 Broken, torn from security
 Deaf, dumb, blind to the profanity
 Fathers, sons are the pawns you send
 They march to fuel the bitter end
 
 
 
  3. Incite
  I am the one your prophets speak of as a curse
 Defile my name among the righteous
 The vibe I'm giving out is something you conceive as violation
 Cling onto icons made of bone 
 
 I fight your false opinions
 Destroy with war of nerve
 Grip life and strength within me
 Until the pain returns
 Rise, Erase
 Distort a million reasons to despise
 A million hollow outlets for your lies
 My degradation your stepping stone
 This discharge I can take, immune to poison ideals freeborn 
 
 I fight your false
 Redress, reanimate the lifeless wills of men
 Rejuvenate as one with strength of ten
 To take their place in a sick society
 And heal from inside lame, afflicted country torn 
 
 I fight your false...
 
 
 
  4. Caught You Living
  First your anger then take your mind
 I use it all and I leave nothing behind
 I am the first last and only son
 And your submission is the way to get along
 Shout out. You wont be heard
 I feed the people and I fill their ears with dirt
 Fifteen years and I've been the people's voice
 And now you listen cos you haven't got a choice
 You fool, I own you 
 
 You're not the only one
 I've taken another son
 And it I caught you living
 You'd be better off dead
 Fists are raised in protest again
 Wont be so long until the fire begin
 Because the last time the hate will rise
 Will bring an end to this the way I terrorise
 Fuck you, I couldn't give a shit
 More lives are forced into my fear pit
 Vote for me and I'll take away the pain
 And you'll feel nothing cos I've smashed your brain
 You fool, I own you 
 
 You're not the only one
 I'll take you where no one goes
 I'll blind you and I'm in control
 Nobody's gonna save you now
 Fuck you I'm in control
 Black on white I cause you to fight
 I sat and laught at the riots tonight
 Because it's all a part of the master plant
 You kill each other then I'm the only man
 Left alive to rule and obey
 You hear me talk but I've got nothing new to say
 Look at me I got where I am by being
 Right place, right time now I'm the man
 You fool. I'm you 
 
 You're not the only one...
 
 
 
  5. Strength of Persuasion
  Cry out at another.street protest
 Against the power crimes
 Is my voice heard?
 I have no time for this, I have no-time to waste
 I feel he hate surge
 Fucked up and cynical, influences criminal
 Wearing he colours of respectability 
 
 I see them cowered into loyalty
 I feel the hate surge
 I feel your silver tongue destroying me
 I feel he hate surge through
 Eighteen in the gutter with a hate sign
 In the real world
 How could you stand by
 Some blame the films we rent
 I say the system sent them to their suicide
 Run around never look down
 At the rags on the underground
 I see your lips move but you're saving nothing
 I can hear 
 
 I see them cowered...
 When the time comes where are you gonna be?
 Anywhere near me?
 Inside us all there-burns a self-destructive urge
 On which you prey and feed
 Twenty four with a future
 You wanna give me a new job
 May sound ungrateful but there's some of us don't want to bleed 
 
 I see them cowered...
 
 
 
  6. Never Be
  Who will bleed for your belief
 Who will mourn and who will grieve
 Out of sight not out of danger
 Never be the same again
 Forever thinking where and when
 The deepest cut remains the fear 
 
 It'll never be the same again
 Never be the same
 Who will suffer for your cause
 Or live in fear behind closed doors
 How much blood will equal freedom
 Count the cost or count your dead
 Colours rule but all bleed red
 The terror here will stay forever 
 
 It'll never be the same again
 Never be the same
 Who will bleed for you?
 It'll never be the same again
 Who will mourn for you?
 It'll never be the same
 
 
 
  7. The Hand That Feeds Itself
  Changes, reasons, controlling, but still one problem
 I bite the hand that feeds itself
 No give and take it's all take with you
 I understand your twisted mind
 My trust in you faded, no faith just paranoid
 I bite the hand that feeds itself
 No give and take it's all take with you
 I understand your twisted mind 
 
 A word has never meant so much
 So much hate and so much pain
 I see you for what you are
 I trusted you, believed in you
 I have no time for you my friend
 New lease of life, like then no fucking compromise
 I bite the hand that feeds itself
 No give and take, it's all take with you
 I understand your twisted mind 
 
 A word has never...
 
 
 
  8. Blood Nation
  They told you my name, now you think that you own me
 We're living in ruthless times
 In heartless times
 This is the new life, this is the new power
 The bitter point the linger of prejudice
 But we will rise to break their accusations 
 
 I am the one, only reason
 Never will be, never received
 The first or the last
 I am the one, only reason 
 
 We're blinded by the lies
 The promise falsified
 Let chaos rise
 The strength in my soul is the power of knowing
 That we are the have-nots but we will not
 Beg or crawl
 The sickness they sutler consumes and destroys them
 A cancer of greed and deception
 We stand. they fall, I spit, they crawl
 They piss on everything 
 
 I am the one... 
 
 We're blinded...
 Corrupt and divided the dream is derided
 You're living by values created by twisted minds
 You're trying to gag me, the word is hypocrisy
 The gun is the symbol of freedom
 Build new from old destroy, dispose, unite and justify 
 
 I am the one
 We're blinded...
 
 
 
  9. Creed
  My anger is blood from the oldest stone
 And I'm not the only one
 What I face tomorrow, never face alone 
 
 Take what should be mine
 For you justice colourised
 You've been taking a weak man brainwashed
 Like a comatose, take him to your own 
 
 So speak of pride, the crimes you hide
 The poison speeches and vicious lies
 So this is the web you weave
 This calm deceit
 And you call me brother no friend to me 
 
 Take what... 
 
 So speak of pride
 Behind the terror mask lies the fear
 You mask it with cold belief
 You convince each other you have a voice to hear 
 
 Take what... 
 
 So speak of pride...
 
 
 
  10. Breathe
  I feel the currents shifting
 Still dragging me down
 The light above still fading
 No one near to help me, cannot reach the sun
 Alone
 Through the water cleanses
 The stain from in me
 The coldness I can hardly stand
 Once I knew the answers
 Now the questions wound my thoughts 
 
 Take this soul and make it your own
 Take this mind, this misery's home
 Take this body, this body in pain
 I will live 1 will breathe again
 Now the weight of darkness bows
 The doubt inside my mind
 That I've never felt before
 Once I knew the answers
 Now the questions wound my thoughts 
 
 Take this soul
 Broken, defeated and left for dead, pain still lingers where wounds once bled
 Anger, frustration, no sympathy, the ocean that drowns me in apathy
 Holding out a hand to help me, determination I will breathe
 Never more destroyed and angry, determination, I will breathe
 Rotten and spiking the core remains, festers unnoticed but still the same
 All that remains is the will to breathe the air I once trusted you took from me
