the ultimate justice lies in the palm of my hand deterrence or massive retaliation, face it alone take the world down to non-existence take the world down to its radiating grave assuming a threatening posture, my own nuke winter looms destruction my last resort, abandon all proportionality, the death of a century what the fuck are you waiting for? reconciliation no longer possible reconciliation was never an option i am danger, pay up or call the bluff

Einigkeit, Recht und Freiheit für den, der sie verdient Abschied fällt nur bei Freunden schwer, deshalb lauf Und ich trag das mit mir rum, nichts ist vergessen Wie eine Wunde die nie heilt, die Geschichte endet hier Die Wände kommen näher, nehmen Platz wo keiner ist Ich bin mir nicht mehr sicher, ob es jemals anders war Und der Ursprung meiner Feindschaft entwickelt sich zur Qual 20 Jahre später, so als hätte ich die Wahl Nichts ist vergessen Nicht, dass du glaubst, die Geschichte endet hier…

time heals nothing the memories don’t seem to fade, once aspiring, now there’s nothing left the track marks to bleed out all pain keep you from feeling anything an account of a damaged life, too many scars to count countdown to your downfall, the deprivation of power and control left you shackled to fight the lost cause every minute of every day an account of a damaged life, too many scars to count content with nothing, standing for nothing, no reason to fight a passive generation of humbled broken spirits the meek no longer realize the worst trip of their life like a junkie in denial too many scars to count, too many scars to count

shouldn’t we defend what‘s left of our liberty? forever unpacified - welcome to your homicide shouldn’t we eliminate the possibility of the next trigger happy cop losing the plot? forever unpacified - welcome to your homicide we’re standing on opposing sides leave nothing behind but a display of revolt a showcase of broken hands a sickening reminder of the past “serve and protect” an empty pledge of disrespect a bullet in your head for your own protection you get what you give, the great dividing line we don’t negotiate with terrorists

No One There 02:12
one life free of god, free of guilt, free of failure one choice, no sign of Christ, a nil report do I have to spell it out? there is no one fucking there they nailed into your head that self-determination is the devil’s work live the life you want to live – no one fucking watches you live the life you want to live – don’t fool yourself, there’s no one there a dissenting opinion in a life littered with frustration let’s try to break the chains just to see if we can those chains were always there, a guarantee that you comply that’s the thing they don’t tell you, we live under their thumb resist the mad men’s dream of unrestrained authority live the life you want to live – no one fucking answers you live the life you want to live – don’t be afraid, there’s no one there live the life you want to live – emancipate, stay in control

the murderers hide behind the call for peace until faithfulness erupts into redemptive violence this means war - a shortcut to self-worth. It’s catharsis this means war – let them see the blood is not cheap images of prophet thugs, the spirit fades so fast a well-rehearsed death cult, redemption without god this means war - a shortcut to self-worth. It’s catharsis. this means war – let them see the blood is not cheap outrage and aggression is an intoxicating prospect for the powerless this means war - a shortcut to self-worth. It’s catharsis this means war - the blood is not cheap

Unwanted 03:26
there is no room for compassion, there is no turning back from the lessons that you’ve taught. it’s every man for himself. this country’s yours and you determine who gets in tears of sympathy for their tragedy as long as it’s not in your fucking backyard detained, processed, and locked away. lay down policies of contempt to calm the seething populace. problem contained there is no voice that doesn’t count, this life seems like a punishment to those who don’t belong sum the human costs, just what is your word worth there is no room for this human tide of misery. slam the door into their face and bar them from what you already have they come for freedom, not your jobs there is no voice that doesn’t count. this life seems like a punishment to those who don’t belong it’s access denied

in a free world with closed gates there’s no choice but to participate in the rat races of life or to stand up and fight burn the lies. let the truth rise. arm yourself burn the lies. let the truth rise. break the peace god is a trap; or can they fill the void with bliss by turning water into piss? taught not how but what to think, indoctrinate the vulnerable burn the lies. let the truth rise. arm yourself burn the lies. let the truth rise. tear it down in defense of autonomy they won’t hesitate to sacrifice any rank and file they set the place and time for you to die the world burns and we drawing lines into the sand burn the lies. let the truth rise. arm yourself burn the lies. let the truth rise. or they win by default

Days Of Rage 02:47
there was no one else when you crossed the line to hell just you behind a wall of contempt behold the legacy, it’s a fucking tragedy the voices that you tried to drown won’t fade away spring in Syria, days of rage protesters pay in blood for the war they waged no turning back for you, these are the last days spring in Syria, a regime falls it’s taking down with it ten thousand lives no turning back for you, these are the last days of rage just how long until justice will be served?
