Choking on the truth The weight of the world wrapping its hands and squeezing at your throat A death sentence for a weaker man Caring only for yourself in this life Everyone be damned, You don’t feel remorse Their blood is on your hands, You plot your own course We’ll plot ours, The fight to survive A war within our fucking minds Do your fucking part in this war that has no end in sight Hide behind a veil, Continue breathing death Taking their last gasp, the blood is on your hands and you don’t care Selfishness wins when you feel nothing for anyone else Simple things asked, Sacrifices made But not by you, the piper gets paid Digging mass graves burying our kin Can’t say goodbye, Glad you’re having fun Do your fucking part Why can’t you step aside? Why can’t you sacrifice to save one life? Why can’t you feel anything for anyone other than yourself Living it up, I Hope it’s worth it watching your family die all alone Watch them die all alone

When the battleground becomes our streets, Will you fight back or drop to your knees? The only way forward is to not fall back. Face your oppressor counter attack Knowing right from wrong. Why did it take so long to show them we won’t be pushed, To show them that we are strong? Decades of progress lost Order, but at what cost? Lives are ruined, lives are lost Fighting to survive this long. In a violent world, there can be no peace Live in a police state, serving the elite Those who are kept down can never get ahead Told to keep quiet, told to bow their heads When they come for us in the streets, will you fight back or fall to your knees? The only way forward, the only way we know: Oppression Smash, Counter Attack. Fight to survive.

A culture bred to kill. In a world on fire only your kind are saved, Fighting to keep your power You fight to preserve, They fight to survive Blind devotion to pigment, They are sentenced to die No supremacy Fight the progress, Protect the status quo Blind devotion, keeping you held back Devil on your shoulder, Peek behind the mask Light the match, Walk away Bridges burn, That won’t change You’ll never listen, You never do Life in a bubble until you’re through You’ll Never Listen, You never do Life works this way, Only for you Never caring for those outside your race Blind devotion causing centuries of disgrace Devil on your shoulder, Peek behind the mask In a world of fools, you are who’s gone mad Devil on your shoulder, Peek behind the mask In a world of fools, you’re the one who’s had. Blind devotion to the one who holds you back Only dark inside your heart, Your hate makes me attack

By Any Means 01:59
CHAOS REIGNS BY ANY MEANS Disorder in the streets, Chaos reigns supreme Violence is all we need, Punish those who seek to divide Taking back what’s ours, Silence all the hate Cut the head from the snake by any means Tell me when the time comes will you fight? When all is said and done will you have won? If they try to stop you will you stand? Will you be the one who never falls?

Lost Cause 02:53
You are nothing and no one to me We have turned our backs, Why can’t you see? You turned a blind eye to the real world, There’s no room for your warped view We can’t save you We can’t help you We can’t save you We don’t want to Your cowardice is plain to see You chose the wrong side, You’re the enemy Leave you in the dirt where you belong You’re worth nothing, less than scum We can’t hear you We won’t fear you You mean nothing A lost cause We aren’t like you We won’t be you You feel nothing A lost cause Our paths split and you chose wrong

In Memoriam 00:43
“I was in Alliance with the evil that is inherent in human nature. That’s who I was: Walking Death.” - Richard Ramirez

KDT 02:30
YOUR TIME IS UP Ignorance: Deflecting the blame Righteous: No one can touch me Fear: The fuel to my fire Hate: The driving force of my desire Weakness is not in my blood To deny me is to be dragged in the mud I don’t need the truth with millions on my side I’ll open my mouth and they’ll vote and buy WAKE UP, we drew the line in the sand Look around, where did your neighbor stand? Ignorance and hate can’t control us all Time to take back power once and for all Your agenda of hate, you lost you fuck Make America great? What a sick fucking joke Bite the bullet, swallow the lead Your body of lies takes a shot to the head. Gasping out for one last breath, One more shot to ensure your death. One more shot to make sure you’re dead. Pull your strings, pull the plug. Sweeping guilt under the rug. Spreading hate across 70 million, Burned flags on the capital building. Gasp for air as we hold you down. KDT. We’re choking you out.

EVERY HATEFUL SYMBOL WE'LL TURN IT TO RUBBLE REJECT THE BASTARDS DISMANTLE THE SYSTEM HAUNTED BY OUR PAST SUFFOCATED BY IT'S WEIGHT LIVING WITH REGRET OF A NATION BUILT ON SHAME COWARDS ARE IDOLIZED BY THE ONES WHO LIVE IN FEAR OF THEIR WORLD CRASHING DOWN EQUALITY NOT WELCOMED HERE ENOUGH IS ENOUGH BURN IT DOWN TO THE GROUND FROM THE ASHES BUILD ANEW TEAR IT DOWN TO THE STUDS COME BACK HARDER CHANGE THE WORLD ERASE THE REST OF OUR RACIST PAST THESE STONE GHOSTS CAN'T FUCKING LAST
9.
You’ll never walk the path that I do Stay the fuck away from me, I’ll keep away from you Look in the mirror, What do you see? The closest of friends or your worst enemy? Take the rope and tie the noose, Watching your life fade Narrow minded ignorance, Extinguishing your hate You’ll never walk beside us You’ll never be our friend You will rot inside your mind Until your bitter end See your gaze through the mirror, do you like what you see? Are you a human? Do you sense dignity? Your judgement is at hand, you’ll beg until you bleed. The verdict reads guilty and the gavel is me.

A momentary reprieve Followed by this Endless war A glimmer of hope, but the battle never stops. Never let up The real change comes when we question ourselves Push back against the status quo The fight goes on There comes a moment in every generation where we must question what we’ve been taught and unlearn what is wrong. The greatest evil is often those who claim to have our best interests at heart. Blind acceptance of face value has, for too long, been a plague upon all people and we must fight back in the name of progress. Fighting for what’s right Never backing down Always pushing forward Never giving up The fight goes on
