In a time long since A time of repent In a quaint lonely town Sits a man with a frown No job no family no crown His luck had ran out Lost and alone the streets were his home His only thought "why do we exist" He longed for only one thing The world to bow at his feet They all should feel his secret fear (The) dismal drear, pain made him sincere The world was a sandbox For the wretched to create Their own conditions to win But he wouldn't let them have their way Ge pleads the eradication of disease Then he proceeds like an ominous breeze through the trees Stay back, the wretched they screamed As they were thrown to their knees Feel death, not just mocking you, Not just stalking you, but inside you Wriggle and writhe Feel smaller than his might Seizure in the pestilence, his scythe Die. -inspired by T.J. Lane's poem-

Waking up each morning To find yourself knee deep Bound to a system That doesnt want you to be free Breaking your spirit so eventually It will be easier to bend your fucking will Bound to a concrete cage Nourishing only dissatisfaction Anxiety-driven rage Endless need to consume It has gone to shit Humanity's (become) filth Pollution at its peak Masses compliant To a great tyrant Accepting his leash Everneeding Of his deceiving Just blindly believing Self-destructive Lusting for power when did we become so trifling Bound to a concrete cage Nourishing only dissatisfaction Anxiety-driven rage Endless need to consume

A new age has dawned for humanity So prosperous, egalitarian, just We only missed one important thing Control was taken away from us Bombarded daily by what they want us to see To feel, to think, to evaluate Do you now see the contradiction Do you fucking see? Thousands die everyday Sacrificed upon the altar Of what they call justice Of what actually is greed Enfeeble the minds of the people Degradation slowly rising Deceive in order to prevail Fear of terror, terrorizing Who is to judge Who is to punish The greatest demagogue

Stories are the foundation of identity So here's one to change your own Left alone, with nothing to call your own Under the crushing weight of grief Let it take full effect Your world will sunder The body will quickly follow Pain won't recede A dire need to breathe Your former state of self forever buried deep Buried deep Inside a place there's no relief Looking for the means to justify A wound that's being festering inside The end to this misery is close When you've left your former self behind

Cage Of Fear 01:34
Abusive behavior Powerplay schemes A constant struggle To reign supreme Border expansion You fight for control Forcing on mothers A heavy toll Neverending campaign For who will be king No matter the age It's always the same To fight for justice Our innate call It's on these feelings You prey upon Tread on ideals For "freedom's" sake Behind the scenes Corruption seeps Cesspool of lies Cage of fear Silence the voices That defy your drear
6.
We are living in a constant State of decay Constant march towards death That will never change The years pass us by Without us taking notice Stop and think for a moment What is really worth it Clock is ticking life away Devoid of emotion, that will never change You cannot escape from your fate
