Call To Glory

I won't rely on the service of strangers
Like other robots in this place
Who show their fear at the break of danger
In the way they hide their face
I won't explain my personal reasons
On bended knee to a suspect crown
I got my license, it's the hunting season
I'm gonna burn this fucker down
If you never hear the call to glory
And live your life through honor and deed
Then every time you look in the mirror
You'll see the face of the man that you wish you could be
The greatest wisdom that I've ever known
Stupid people should not breed
Or at least keep to their own
Protect us from their pestilent seed
Unmoralistic debutantes
Spend their lives searching for something
With all their needs and all their wants
If you ain't got pride, you ain't got nothing
If you never hear the call to glory
And live your life through honor and deed
Then every time you look in the mirror
You'll see the face of the man that you wish you could be

Insurrection

This is a plea for insurrection
This is an urgent call to arms
This is all for your protection
This is to keep you safe from harm
In every field there blooms a land mine
In every silo, crops of steel
We sow the seeds like founding fathers
We till the soil with our heels
Hey, you! Try it again!
Kick me when I'm down
Every blow is fuel for the flame
Kick me when I'm down
Hey, you! Try it again!
Kick me when I'm down
Pain is hate by a different name
Kick me when I'm down
The city smolders in the distance
I can smell the fires burn
We can't abide this fool's existence
We can't forget the lessons learned
The sharpest blade the cuts the quickest
To restore the common good
If you want to cure the sickness
You've got to spill a little blood
Hey, you! Try it again!
Kick me when I'm down
Every blow is fuel for the flame
Kick me when I'm down
Hey, you! Try it again!
Kick me when I'm down
Pain is hate by a different name
Kick me when I'm down

Legion

Dear hallowed nation
We come in peace
You are the remnants
Of a country fleeced
Shorn of your freedom
Without a say
Civil division
Social decay
Victims of power
You play along
Your finest hour's
Twenty minutes long
Lower the standards
To half their mast
Let’s toast the future
With a shotgun blast
Masses arise, war is nigh
We are legion
Bombers in the sky rain fire
From above
Tourists in tanks, join the ranks
Of resistance
Clemency denied in the land
That I love
Dear huddled masses
Why do you cry?
The cost of freedom
Seems much too high?
The ink is fading
The future dims
Your nursery rhymes
Are now battle hymns

Revolt Resist
05:45
|

You hold salvation in the palm of your hand
Will you seize it? Will you take a stand?
The streets are swarming, someone's gonna get stung
It's so much harder when you're under the gun
Revolt resist
Course-corrected, conscience clean
Revolt resist
Target-blinded killing machine
Revolt resist
Pledge allegiance to the code
Revolt resist
Plead the second and reload
They try to sell you on diplomacy
That only works when the beers are free
A leaky boat on the rivers of hate
A token gesture that comes too late

When you first started out
Began this episode
You had nothing but doubt
What did the future hold?
You hardly knew the world
Perhaps you never will
Jaded at twenty four
You thought you'd had your fill
Along the road you might
Have missed your share of turns
Stood in the fire's light
Received your share of burns
I wish your eyes would open
And you might find
We swam a common ocean
One stroke behind
Lost
The illusion of control
The delusion of your soul
Life will take its toll
Lost
Messing with your mind
Happens every time
Holding on tonight
You are much older now
Time makes a person wise
And yet in many ways
You wear the same disguise
A certain golden rule
You fail to ascertain
Your little fantasies
Can never dull the pain
They never had your love
They only held you back
You take no hostages
When you attack
The world's your enemy
And so you scream and shout
You got the last word in
That's all you care about

Crush

I've given up on right and wrong
'Cause life is short and I don't have long
And I guess I thought you knew
Everything I feel for you
Maybe you never noticed before
All the time that I spent outside your door
While you were falling asleep
I prayed the Lord your soul to keep
Love will crush your soul if you let it
But I have only once regretted
The words I might have left unspoken
The promises I might have broken
I don't know if I've said it yet
But there is something that I just cannot forget
How you wounded my pride
No matter how hard I tried
Maybe you never noticed before
All the nights that I stood outside your door
If I set you free
There's no going back for me
Love will crush your soul if you let it
But I have only once regretted
The words I might have left unspoken
The promises I might have broken

Love Until Death
05:19
|
|
||
|
Twisted desire grows stronger inside
Each day the fire gets harder to hide
Obsession begins in fastidious ways
Skin touches skin in unsightly displays
I fear a smile is starting to show
As I'm looking down on your body below
With every heartbeat your vanity falls
With every whisper insanity calls
Love... love until death
I love you to death
These are the things that are bothering me
These are the sights that a man should not see
This is the poison I'm swallowing whole
These are the signs that I'm losing control
I wouldn't stay if I thought it would show
But I want it more than you EVER will know
Suck down my sorrow, get lost in the pain
My world is burning and I stoke the flames

Relapse

Self-immolating like a moth to the flame
Still imitating but never the same
Trying to interpret all the thoughts in my head
"Trying to be perfect" is what you said
It's times like these when I'm feeling alive
That part of me I've been trying to hide
Up from the depths it comes rushing out
Open up the gates to erase all doubt
You should have seen it coming
I'm always falling down
You got me started
And I just can't stop, go back
And when it's all or nothing
I find my own way out
You got me started
And I just can't stop, go back
Here is the thing you should contemplate
As you taste my disease, consume my hate
I am just the product of your ultimate plan
I am just the person that you say I am
Hello again. Why haven't we met?
Why do these words ring with regret?
An introduction is long overdue
We're just the same then, me and you

We've got a message for the DOD
We've come to question their integrity
Eyes opened and bodies charred
We're turning in our values cards
No heart and all of the power
They smoke cigars in the Victory Tower
Never ever had to pay their dues
Tax collectors dressed in ACUs
So lost in your dementia
This world is out to get you
How will you ever find your way back home?
Stop-lossed for your retention
Guess they forgot to mention
Once you're in country you can never go home
A young widow puts her son to bed
Too young to know that his daddy is dead
He joined the Guard for the G.I. Bill
Now he's a number on Capitol Hill
How could we ever let it go this far?
The lonely target of an S&R
Blood stains on his uniform
His body's cold, but his gun is still warm

Sound & Fury

|

We read you loud and clear
The final curtain call
See all the people cheer
Backs up against the wall
The sinners must atone
They're living on their knees
The priests are casting stones
And claiming victories
We slave away
To the sound and the fury.
We lose the will
Of the body and mind.
We break new ground,
There's another one to bury.
We waste away
Just standing in line.
Here in our rotting world
We say our last goodbyes
For every boy and girl,
Civilization dies
So let the history show
What's written in the sand
Before the falling snow
Covers the tracks of man

Doctrine

When he was a little boy
His father used to say,
"You want to grow to be a man?
You'd better start today!"
Listen closely to my words
And I will show you how
There're seven steps to manhood
And I'll teach them to you now:
The only thing you'll ever own
Is what you hold inside
Your dignity, intelligence
Your loyalty and pride
Ego and indifference
Are cancers of the weak
Honesty is godliness
Be truthful when you speak
If you want to be remembered
When your earthly life is through
Then teach your sons to leave their mark
On everything they do
Know when to turn the other cheek
Know when to seek revenge
The vine that never picks a side
Dies rotting on the fence
Son, you wanna grow up
Think you ought to slow up
I see disaster in everything you do
Dad, when I grow up
Things are gonna blow up
I'm gonna be a man just like you
When the son became a father
Then he told his children, too:
"Be mindful of the things I say
And not the things I do"
It's very hard to be the man
You read about in books
The knights and kings you fantasized
Now commoners and crooks
But no one can imprison
An educated mind
So be yourself and free yourself
By learning all the time
If you should discover
You've given all you can
There's nothing more to answer for
That's how to be a man
Son, you wanna grow up
Think you ought to slow up
I see disaster in everything you do
Dad, when I grow up
Things are gonna blow up
I'm gonna be a man just like you
