1.	FREEDOM DIES 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Our world deceived. A private tyranny Allied with government. The corporate media Encouraging ignorance Unjustifiable technique of control, iniquity Designed to make us suffer, to get what you need Some men just want to see the world bleed A diversion Of attention Indoctrination restricting minds World of lies Freedom dies Manipulation undetected Population unaware. Manufactured consent withholding information, lying, stop. An unaccountable abuse of power, Impunity Designed to make us suffer. Most never learn. Some men just want to see the world burn. The corporate Malfeasance Just another unethical act Forced divide Truth denied World of lies Our freedom has died.
2.	IMPERIAL SLAVES 02:41	lyrics	buy track
Why are we living like this? Still suffering Trapped in a system forcing wage slavery Wasting our lives away earning for someone else The revolution is not coming. Save yourself. Dominance of an external authority Social reconstruction called democracy Offered the human right To hate your life Enslaved by design. Promoting debt demanding daily grind Bound in servitude Life spent renting our time Working. Towards. Their goal. A new world empire Is coming. Then we are all Imperial Slaves A violation of human nature No liberation from this oppression Another cycle of depression and war Imposing control upon us all This freedom is fake Free in an unfree world More distractions, constant lies To keep the masses occupied No time to revolt Until it's almost time to die. Working towards their goal. A new world empire. Obliviously. Now it's too late. We've helped create, not knowing, A new world empire. Now we are all Imperial Slaves
3.	CONFIRM OR DENY 04:06	lyrics	buy track
Confirm or deny Weapons that you hide We don't support aggression For global greed Try to persuade us We won't fucking budge A confrontation Nobody needs We do not negotiate with terrorists We can see through your lies imperialist I can smell the uranium on your breath We will not negotiate with terrorists Confirm or deny Weapons you disguise As you undermine Our stance on your lies You fear other countries will follow our lead Public opinion Won't be conditioned Your propaganda Does not work here Weak threats of withdrawing Your security Your cunning tactics Fail you again Stay Away.
4.	LIARS/TRAITORS 02:44	lyrics	buy track
All good for nothing A selfish breed Don't care for anyone Only motivation's greed Power for ego Money for fame This system doesn't work Proven time and again Controlled servants Selling the laws Bowing down To their corporate overlords Follow the money Kleptocracy Brazen corruption No consequence impunity Liars, Traitors Deceive us all Liars. Traitors Maniacal Liars Destroying lives Traitors Living off bribes Liars For all to see Traitors Raping humanity
5.	BLACK MASS 04:21	lyrics	buy track
Create criminals, incarcerate the poor Blame drugs, blame anything. A rhetorical war Changing laws. Framing Making mass profits Fill the quotas to fill the cage Seeking prisoners A new form of slavery put to work , nothing's changed. Black mass incarceration. Modern day slaves. Intentionally Bias Corrupt system Your rights taken away, felon is your name For life. No redemption Never hired again With unnecessary police brutality Racially targeted campaign Don't serve. Don't protect. Just enslave minorities Imposing white supremacy Black mass incarceration. Modern day slaves. Intentionally Bias Corrupt system Changing laws. Framing Making mass profits Fill the quotas to fill the cage Seeking prisoners A new form of slavery put to work , nothing's changed. Black mass incarceration. Modern day slaves. Intentionally Bias Corrupt system Black Mass Incarceration Modern day Slaves Better be rich and guilty Than poor and innocent.
6.	AN GORTA MOR 04:01	lyrics	buy track
Famine. Forced on to all Takes a million lives. Attempt murder of a nation. White genocide Blind eyes turn from your strife Failure to act, their crime. A million dead, a million fled No hope for those left behind The sick put to work Hard labour for dirt While landlords extort More rewards for the guilty Time after time, Imperial genocide A simple existence denied Crime after crime, famine war and homicide Hoping everyone dies The weak bury the dead Knowing they'll soon join them No help from anywhere Left to die. No one cares Deception The ugly truth ignored Oppression 800 years they caused Avenge the oppressed
7.	DARK CRIMES 02:45	lyrics	buy track
In a world where we're lead by, most vicious criminals Overthrow other governments, brutal dictators installed Invade any country that can not be controlled Used chemical warfare, aimed at crops to kill the poor (solo Lundy) These narcissistic figures rule our society Their crimes omitted with no accountability Blocking the threat of a free democracy Unexplained crimes against humanity Endorse genocide. Unlawful use of force Refused diplomatic settlement. Carry out endless invasions (solo Hati) Professional liars licensed to kill who offends Decades of terror on a scale you cannot comprehend
8.	FEAR AND HATE 03:09	lyrics	buy track
Misinformation A vital tool Sustained by delusions Easier to rule A transformation Society's Blind obedience Total control Conformity We're bombarded With fear and hate Deaf Dumb Blind Nobody sees What's happening (solo Lundy) Manipulation Cognitive mould Disseminate the concept That we have a choice Obliteration Freedom destroyed Totalitarianism dressed as Democracy Total centralised State power Hear See Speak Up against this Tyranny (solo Hati) What is seen Not reality All it seems Is a lie Happening Right in front of us The masses Totally blind
9.	END OF EMPIRES 05:15	lyrics	buy track
Defile a republic Supreme power controls The masses lives mean nothing Wage slaves to pay for war Wealth used for mass destruction Threatening humanity Trillions for military None to eradicate poverty No care for our survival You're coming You're taking Our freedom away The masses in denial We're killing We're dying And none of us know why Where is the empathy How can they keep killing How do we end it all How do we end them Inflict a revolution See how the mighty fall The fate of every empire Human greed ends them all Knowledge of this fake freedom Changes the public's thoughts Feel the revenge in the air The elites must all be caught Outraged the victims rise up We're coming We're taking Your power away Behead heads of the empire We're killing You're dying It has to end this way The end of your abuse Your crimes can't be excused You begged, but we refused We win you lose. Dead! (solos Lundy, Hati, Lundy, Lundy)
