Can you feel it? Speechless heat Raising hairs and breaking sweat Can you feel it? Child again Coward witness, watching yet Injustice burns like their tear gas To masks, to masks, to hide your face. Hide your tears. Are you ready to fight back? They'll come, they'll come, they won't relent No choice left Remember watching, fixed in fear? They do not heed our pleading tears What use have we for more victims When they are judge and witnesses? Can you stand it? Not this time Vengeance calls for those who died There's no-one coming to stop this So to arms and clenched fists Can you feel it? Take control No cog turns but we will it so Can you stand it? Say this rhyme Not here, not now, not this time Never again is now.

You call for peaceful conduct from behind a riot shield We know no higher power to petition or appeal It's order, not peace, for which you howl and moan And we'll give you none of either 'til there's justice for our own [chorus] Fuck false peace, never kneel No compromise with a ring of steel Fuck false peace, when will you learn? We'll lay down arms when it's on our terms Do you think that they are joking when they state their lethal cause? Do you think that they'll play by the rules when they don't need you anymore? You'll share our graves and bear the blame for the monster that you've nursed So in the ashes of your cities remember they struck first [chorus] You don't see the danger because you're not in their sights I see long knives and broken glass waiting out of sight You talk about their free speech? It's just fascism by stealth We have no real freedom if we can't defend ourselves Your politics are play acting on a stage behind a wall Just a tragedy of cowardice played to an empty hall What use is there in theatre for those who go unseen? What platform do we owe them? Just a noose from which to swing [chorus]

Years in the dark, now the sunlight burns Bloodied from the morning's lashes The joy, the rage, the flames so bright As this prison burns to ashes Your hangman's hearts and bloodied hands Just give us an excuse It's no price for all we lost We still queued to tie the noose All of my darkest thoughts Still speak with your voice The lashes on my back Still spell out your name the sparks and shards, through gunshots and in flames Bent bars and broken chains The fear is old, those locks and walls Are rusted and now spent Take solace, friends, they did their worst And we'll outlive them yet Here I stand among broken bars With all my wounds open again Better bleeding, free to heal Than ten more years in chains Hark! Hark! Wings of fire turn this cage to ash Hark! Hark! Let the light of burning prisons guide our way It's no price but it's all you've got A last prayer and a last gunshot

Worthless vapid human cancer Tiny man, big ego Intolerable fascist scum Fuck off or die! Long for the past, stagnant by design. Crushed beneath the wheel of time The lesson taught but never learned; A lecture hall filled with fascist corpses But there's room for more. Worship the worms who crawl beneath the soil, The remnants of your mythic past are found in their excrement. Venerate the maggots who feast upon your flesh. Worship the worms, Worship the worms, Worship the fucking worms. How is it you always lose to the weakest of the weak? Where is your superiority? Are you not the strong? Are you not the mighty? Are you not the inheritors of the earth? Masturbate over your supremacy while your walls fall around you. Dragged once again Into the shadows. Back where you belong, Your cries muffled, your dreams broken, And you, universally despised. Worship the worms, innumerable they are; Your past and future are one, digested and trod upon. Venerate the maggots who thrive on your demise. The forces of time, The countless legions, Worship the fucking worms.

Falling 05:08
And so it is, so it always was, To plunder is to be free. Slaughter the innocent, contort your mind, Learn to serve faithfully. We are diseased! Falling into entropy! Hey! Hey! Hey! We are diseased! Destroy the mountains, defile the sea All in service of a few. Our planet claimed by the wealthy, With nothing left for you. We are diseased! A pale reason to be! We are diseased! Falling to entropy! Fading, Fading into the past I feel the future slipping away. Fading into the past I feel our future slipping away. Reject hatred Reject greed Reject bigotry Reject yourself The Earth will reject us, if we don't reject ourselves. We are falling. Falling, falling. We will perish, immortalized Architects of our own demise There's so much more we can be End this charade already.

The City 02:12
Come one and all, heed salvation's call, With those sins, all you'll win is the infernal fall. Gather all around, kids, who wants to bid On the lover of the Father, it's the best there is. Well, you don't need all that green. How far can you reach into those deep pockets of yours? You sate our need, you sate our greed. You're the hand that feeds the mouth that eats that soul of yours. We're gonna deconstruct that morality, So we can reshape your mortality. We're gonna build a whole new reality, Keep it safe beneath the City.
