STIMULUS 04:44
lyrics
In this life, will I be recognized? Was I fair when I should have lied? Is it hope, or is it simply pride? Can these bonds ever be untied? Can I purge a soul of cyanide? Have I failed if I've never tried?
2.
VIOLENT LIGHT 04:05
lyrics
You can't break me down Though you can level this whole damn city to the ground You can't take me out Though you can meddle with the metal you swing through the crowd I don't care to keep you around (x2) You won't make me drown There's nothing better than a header with my name going round You won't hold me down And every letter you pen will only fuel the sound I don't care to keep you around I won't care if you run aground If you see me in a violent light You're damn near dead to rights And if you wouldn't dare to fight Don't paint me in a violent light There are no sinners in heaven (don't paint me in a violent light) So don't go looking for hell (in your hands)
3.
CHOKE 02:37
lyrics
Crawl out from the sinner's home Hope that you are not alone Only God knows where you'll go Kill the hand that bleeds you raw End the life you know is wrong Choke on your evil ways Choke on the bitter taste
4.
HATEMACHINE 04:36
lyrics
Can you feel it thrust upon you? Just like a heart attack No more love or trust to con you No, no there's no turning back This is the price You pay For total supremacy Your life, you walked away Feel the hell inside you (You are a hate machine) You're still alive, so find the truth (You are a hate machine) And if the system doesn't serve you, Throw out the system You run the system now You know the world does not deserve you They know you will resist 'em So give 'em some resistance, yeah This is the price You pay For the world to know your name Your life that you gave away Feel it thrive inside you (You are a hate machine) Let the anger drive you (You are a hate machine) In the fight you'll find the truth (You are a hate machine) This is our time This is our life
5.
BLOOD FOR BLOOD 06:09
lyrics
They told her her faith was a wall And no man could ever break it at all They were wrong It only took him a day For twenty years she was hopeful and bright Every day she'd be doing it right For so long Until he used her and threw her away Until now she'd never seen A way to show them where it hurts She pours the kerosene And lights a fire in the church Mother told her not to act out of spite A violent birthing of fire in the night Proved her wrong Her killer, burned at the stake All the blood that was shed in that hall Fueled the blaze that repaid it all Dead and gone Now she was finally awake No one could intervene, And his cries still ringing in her heart, She turned and fled the scene, And let the devil take his part YOU'LL PAY IN BLOOD FOR BLOOD
6.
CRUSH DEPTH 06:01
lyrics
There will be no tomorrow No time to say goodbyes An ocean swell of sorrow Falling from familiar eyes Where we are Is where we'll die Stray too far from us and who will keep you alive? And when it pulls me down To the water's crushing deep You cut the only tie And turn away from my side And in these depths of mine A Nero in my sleep I leave the dream to die, And burn away from inside out WHY TRY? So when it pulls me down To the water's crushing deep You cut the only tie And turn away from my side And in these depths I find Awakened from my sleep I'll bring the dream to life Or burn away from inside out
7.
TEAR DOWN 05:54
lyrics
A city sits upon me, It breaks my back A citadel of evil Formulates an attack I feel the drums of Heaven From the gates of Hell My demons rise to conquer This empty shell And you will know my name As you go down in flames Yes, you will know my name Your walls will twist and crumble With a wave of my hand All of your mighty defenses Under my command And you will know my name As you go down in flames Yes, you will know my name I am the light that guides you I am the evil inside you And you will know my name As you go down in flames Yeah, you will know my name As you go down in flames
8.
GRATIFY 03:22
lyrics
In your love You will drown Reach to the sky Feel your blood Weigh you down Scream to the sky I HAVE TAKEN ALL CONTROL I WILL TERMINATE YOUR SOUL I WILL TIE YOU TO THE HOLD YOU WILL DIE OUT IN THE COLD Throw yourself To the fire I will never die Gratify My desire I will never die
9.
CONTACT 05:09
lyrics
Though we made contact in the shadow of the devil's tower My regrets were simply more than I could bear So take the heading and make way toward the final hour Where you said that maybe I will see you there There's no denying it's a mystery where we came from A stolen whisper from the edges of a storm Sometimes I wish that this existence was a simple one But it will never quell the fear of something more Though I heard tell since I was little of the Holy Father, Since I set out on my own, the voyage has shown no signs of a soul And when I gaze at the oblivion of open water It rears a terrible maw, a terminal draw to swallow me whole So when I find in my periphery a spectral one, Another vessel in the spiral of the sea, I know that prison in the palace of a demagogue Is ever better than the curse of being free
10.
DEAD STOP 11:39
lyrics
If you thought that you could hide You were wrong You've been riding on this train for too long If you're looking for absolution, It's all gone You've wasted all your chances to get back on There is no turning back, this is a one way track (x12) A SOUL OF CYANIDE PAINTED IN A VIOLENT LIGHT CHOKE ON YOUR WAYS AND MAKE THEM CLEAN YOU ARE A HATE MACHINE NOW SHOW 'EM WHERE IT HURTS THEY'LL ANSWER TO THE ONE THEY THOUGHT THEY BURNED AND THEY WILL KNOW YOUR NAME SO THROW YOURSELF INTO THE FLAMES YOU'RE A VESSEL IN THE SPIRAL OF THE SEA YOU ARE A HATE MACHINE (WE'RE HEADED FOR A) DEAD STOP (x10)
