World’s Decision:
If you’re the rope then we’re the knife
I’m not afraid to cut the ties
Will you stand up for what is right
Or sit back and let the world decide?
Nothing but Pain:
Shameful yet you’re shameless
Break bread with your enemies
Prideful and embarrassed
Walk the line, play for both teams
You Stand for Nothing
Your life screams “look at me”
Fucked up ends to fucked up means
And I won’t let you drag me down
You turn your back
I walk away
Our paths don’t cross
It’s better off that way
Every day
What do I see?
Nothing but pain
Nothing but grief

Cause of Death
02:18
|

|
Our heads hang in regret
Another innocent death.
You took an oath to protect
Then power went to your head.
Neighborhoods crumble
Underneath a failing system
I can’t believe you
Make excuses for their actions
Defend injustice
You can’t hide your prejudice
Painful realization
Fear is hiding behind badges
Where is the Justice?
There is no peace
Close the body bags
the people fill in the streets
Cover your tracks
their hearts are filled with grief
Cause of death: the city police
No fucking Justice
No fucking Peace
Neighborhoods crumble
Underneath a failing system
I can’t believe you
Make excuses for their actions
Defend injustice
You can’t hide your prejudice
Painful realization
The new klan is wearing badges

Stockpile
02:18

Forged by fear
Fueled by rage
In one moment
Life is erased
Can’t find a motive
Lacking a reason
Executing punishment
On innocent people
Stockpiling an Arsenal
Ancient laws
Twisted meanings
Bullets control all
We pay the price
You look away
They take our lives
Plot your hate on the unsuspecting
The undeserving killed by the unrelenting
You’ll find no peace at the other end Taking other’s lives, do you feel like a man?
Another breed, a worthless existence
Thrown into cuffs with no resistance
Defended by masses with a twisted perception
Say anything to defend your weapons.
In one moment, one shot
Life as you know it comes to an end.
Wire frame, no sense of character.
Pushed to the point of mass murder.

Kept Down
02:43
|

Why would we go to the way it was before?
Power for few, desperation for more
Worlds built on promises, feel more like lies
We treat indignations with a sense of surprise
Kept down, snuffed out
Never given a fucking chance
We treat too many among us
Like the ones who bite the hand
Kept down, Snuffed out
Never given a fucking chance
Who the fuck are you to say
Who gets a second glance?
Speak up reach out
Don’t fucking hesitate
You are the one
Who can make the change
Where should they go when you always close the door?
Left out in the cold Or sleeping on the floor
Society’s forgotten,
The destitute and poor
We treat them like a burden
We never give them more
Kept down, snuffed out
Never given a fucking chance
We treat too many among us
Like the ones that we can’t stand
Kept down, snuffed out
Never given a fucking chance
Why do we always fail
The ones who need a hand?
What will you do when you’re face to face
With what you have to do to make a change?
Will you look the other way
Or stand and fight for what you believe?

Break Free
02:59
|

|
Where can I go when every door is locked?
What if there’s nothing else?
We’re living in a box
Destiny scripted like we’re on TV
It’s controlling you and controlling me
Break free of the shackles, blur all the lines
Don’t think for a second that you must comply
Break free
Freedom isn’t free, that’s what we’re told
An idea bought
An idea sold
Sprinting through life like a race to the grave
Work our days away to make a living wage
Break free of the shackles, blur all the lines
Don’t think for a second that you must comply
Break Free
A world of mice on the wheel, when do we get off?
Why do we wait to live until we’re almost gone?
Live life for now, live before the last grain falls.
Live life for now, Expiration dates affixed to us all
Break Free

Line in the Sand
01:38
|

Bang the war drum
The only walls you build are in your fucking mind
Claim to unite when all you do is divide
No one is safe under your control
Years of hateful rhetoric have taken their toll
This is the line in the sand who’s side will you take when the tide rolls in
This is the line in the sand
We aren’t the ones with blood on our hands
When will enough be enough? This is the line in the fucking sand.
They drop their bombs

Generations Lost
02:26
|
|||
|
When it all falls apart
What will you have said?
What will you have done?
Quiet is complicit
Idle is conspiracy
Standing by is treason
Against humanity
Narrow minded fools raise generations lost
Grasping for meaning at whatever cost
I Refuse to be the one
Letting life pass me by
I Refuse to be the one
Silent while others cry
For help
For rights
Silent
While others cry
For help, for rights
Locked in a cage
Children live in fear
Of societys rage
Torn from their families
Without food for days
No end in sight
Of this immoral haze
Quiet is complicit
Idle is conspiracy
Standing by is treason
Against humanity
Narrow minded fools raise generations lost
Grasping for meaning at whatever cost
Are you the problem or the answer?

Final
02:44

Why do you think that there’s some things you should never try to change?
Why do you think that there’s some things that you can’t ever stop?
I look at you and I know that you’re nothing but a coward
No conviction, no honor, no nothing inside of you.
I refuse to be bothered by the sins of our past
Can’t keep thinking what could have been
But there is something I can’t wrap my head around
When it all comes to an end and there’s nothing left to live for, will you be able to say that you truly gave it your all?
Will you be able to look in the mirror and face yourself?
Fighting, scratching, clawing
For what?
Grasping at straws
Trying to breathe
When it all ends and there’s nothing left to live for,
Will you be able to look in the mirror and face yourself?
Face yourself.
All they’ll hear are your final words.
Final Declaration.

Black is beautiful. Inside outside. This band is superb. As a huge Sabbath fan I love the low tuned riffs, as well as the hardcore speed moments, short as they are: but it's exactly that which keeps it so damn interesting. Also love the interplays full of sweetness or speeches about black culture and being black within white domination. Still some things to learn. This is the real life in music form. Let's celebrate.
