Like a bond that cannot be broken
A mother and her child
Paternal yearning, learning,
Released into the wild
Instinctive hunger
One dog eats another
Rabid worshiping of success
Ravaged to the bone with nothing left
Narcotic feed of humanity's collapse-
Resources, greed will fall through the cracks
Natural need
Reap the seeds
One blood to bleed
Scope of life
Natural need
Reap the seeds
One blood to bleed
Unconditional Death
Like a bond that cannot be broken
Weighed down and shackled,
Life as a warning
Forfeit
Stand to profit as another dies
A dollar in your pocket is a dollar out of mine
Unconditional
Instinct, existence,
Waiting for the end
Life welcomes death
Unconditional
Instinct, existence,
Trial without end
Life welcomes death
Unconditional Death

The Price
01:51

This peace has a price, the people we left behind
Sheltered from sight or did we choose to be blind?
Out of sight means out of mind – sentenced to life
This peace has a price, the millions that paid with time
Burial rights, dehumanize.
What’s left in store for you? Just a roll of the dice
Play the odds with the hope of better days
Bet on your life, but the house collects the wage
Out of sight means out of mind means out of sight means out of mind Out of sight means out of mind means out of sight means out of mind
This peace has a price, the millions that paid with time
This peace has a price, the people we left behind
Sentenced to life

Hourglass
02:21

Immovable object trampled
Unstoppable force
To stand against the progress
Is to lay under the hoof
The hammer or the nail
Victims of time, both destined to fail
Live a life in the hourglass
Nothing to show for, none to be had
The hammer or the nail
Victims of time, both destined to fail
Total death in a moments notice
Dust in the wind, drops in the bucket
Futures keep fading, lost to the past
Bloated with questions that never get asked

The Head Will Follow
02:14
|

Force fed or starved?
Broken, beaten, battered
How can you see the light,
When you’re kept in the dark?
Kill the body and the head will follow
Taken all you’ve had,
Taken all you need
Convinced you’re a part of the fist,
Not a mouth to feed
Kill the body and the head will follow
Used up and crippled, still you crawl to the gallows
Gone, never named a price
For your thoughts or your life
Another worked to the bone
And all it cost was your soul
Now do you see the light From your place on the gallows?
Kill the body and the head will follow

Power of silence cannot be bought
Beaten and taken through promise and blood
Words torn from your throat
Silence a voice, left with no choice
The world held to your throat
Passing the sentence, passing on hope
Beaten, degraded, rabid and broken
Words torn from your throat
Silence a voice, left with no choice
The world held to your throat
Spread no hope
An example must be made
Knife to throat
No reply, no remorse, no return
Words torn from your throat
Silence a voice, left with no choice
The world held to your throat
