(216) Album

In this time it will fall
This structure of struggle
Backs against the wall
Now turn it around
Psychological
Warfare will conquer
Nothing's forgotten
We've got ten fingers in the air
Wear the crown
Abraxas in judgment
Cast out all doubt of souls
Those on trail
It comes back around
Days of the horizon
Nothing's forgotten
We've got ten fingers in the air

March in resistance
Declaring war on ignorance
Commitment to
The forwarding of thought
Resilience
Never fall down
Never let them get you
On your knees
Division
Got to separate from their disease
Contagious
Like a virus
Poisoning our minds
Wake up and open you eyes
Before you go blind

These pipes are rusted
Paint peeling portrait
The blood the snot
These thoughts they all drain
Got to give them everything
All the more to throw back at you
There's no way to win
There's no way out
Its time again
The targets on my head
Shakes hands and smile
Filth under the fingernails
Lies disguise the queen
Truth corrupts the king
Brings the kingdom to its knees
You're better when you're nothing
People feel better next to nothing
As soon as you got something
It's time to knock you down

Withdrawn from all pursuits
Of passion and purpose
The fear of the unknown
Increasingly nervous
One day it rains on your parade
Like a hand grenade
Complicates
Slaps you in the face
As if you disobeyed
Misbehaved

They want to strip you
Of the one thing
Bring on the downpour
Toast the scapegoat
Magnify the eyesore
Back one more
This time to even the score
See to it that they can't ignore
This declaration of war
Taint provokes all purity
Contaminates the soul
Pain evokes these memories
That cannot be controlled
The jaded face of yesterday
Readies to attack
They say this is the price we pay
I say no turning back
Look into these eyes
Don't you realize
There's a life inside
That will not die without fight

Going through the motions
With the sound turned down
Trying to stand up
With your hands bound
Running in place wearing blindfolds
And you're never contemplating
What the mind holds
It tears me apart
This vengeant heart
Thirsts for love lived through art
Both sides of the sword
Splintered
I'd walk for miles to taste your smile
These eyes see through denial
Turn of a dial
Static sings
Blue gray green
I can feel her eyes on me

Everything I am
This is not as much fun
As it used to be
Nothing is ever going to mean
This much to me (again)
I've drinken from a chalice
Full of tears from an angel
Drowning in a pool of desire
Fear and anger
This time is not my fault
I cannot recall
Ever feeling this lost
It's painted on my face
Everything that I stand for
I look into the mirror
Into the eyes of a stranger

Step up
To the forefront
Called a fight for soul
Teeth in
Drain your soul and clip your wings
This brings confrontation
Man your station
Cut their strings
Your last chance for redemption
Slips right through your hands
Trivialized by vision
And the passing of sand
It's been a long road nowhere
And I've seen it all
I'll just keep on pushing forward
Until I fall
Step up
