Rage
03:57

Spider webs across the plains at night
We burn the ancient dead
Their black blood freed of metal might
Bringing pestilence instead
We've been told we have no business here
But our fathers lie below
We're gonna rage
Across the plains tonight
Restore them for our own
A new age
A new age is dawning, gaining light
A dark day for our foes
Idle threats only work until
The threatened match your might
And in the end all we have is war
Profits made off those who die
We've been told we have irrational fears
As they shackle us in chains
Beaten down in the cold of winter
Abandoned without names
We're gonna rage
Across the plains tonight
Restore them for our own
A new age
A new age is dawning, gaining light
A dark day for our foes
We got distracted
We got distracted
We got distracted
And we all moved on
How many have to die
For the good of the few?
How many have to die
For the good of the mighty?
Will you survive
Our lust for wealth?
Will you survive
The great downsizing?
We've been told we have irrational fears
Until it all comes down in flames
A new light across the plains tonight
Our four horsemen bringing change
We're gonna rage
Across the plains tonight
Restore them for our own
A new age
A new age is dawning, gaining light
A dark day for our foes
We're gonna rage
Across the plains tonight
Restore them for our own
A new age
The new guard have held us down too long
It's time to deal a killing blow

Paralytic

Remember days
when we were free
An open world
without the tragedy
But now we think
we know what's going on
And every neighbor
is a smoking gun
The chief of hate has locked us down again
And so we scamper like we're lost children
While we swear the sky is falling apart
The fear we feel has left us without heart
They sell us clicks
and they sell us doom
Anxiety smothers us
inside our rooms
The tale they feed us
to keep control
Eating away
at our heart and soul
The chief of hate has locked us down again
And so we scamper like we're lost children
While we swear the sky is falling apart
The fear we feel has left us without heart
Flooding the internet with fucking lies
Authority using them to run our lives
We are impotent despite our rage
Paralysed and locked inside a cage
This is the media
See how they're playing ya
Fear is the opiate
Fear is the pain
Fear is the reason
We give it away
Fear takes control
Losing ourselves
Shutting it down
Personal hell
Fear is the media

The Great Ghost Dance
03:37
|

We're finally breaking out
Of this mind control
An injection to the soul
They finally did enough
They finally went too far
Frozen in our fear no more
We have had enough
But that is not enough
A need for something more
A deadly ritual
An ancient prophecy
Will shake them to their core
Our world is dying now
In this shaman's trance
We're gonna stand up
And take the system down
This shining house must fall
We're gonna organize
In any place or weather
We'll charge into the maw
In these trying times
Armed with unity
Your pears won't save your soul
Darkness coming down
Huddled close together
Seems we can fight no more
Our world is dying now
In this shaman's trance
And all that's left for us
The Great Ghost Dance
We're gonna lose this fight
Our ambition beaten down
The world's gonna die tonight
The shaman's dance will soon begin
Our world is dying now
In this shaman's trance
And all that's left for us
The Great Ghost Dance

Crusaders

Yeah
Oh yeh
See no other way of living
Taught from an early age
Bring honor to your family
And they'll open up your cage
Blindly charge forward now
Just like before
Where are we going?
I don't know
But here we go
Manufactured blame
It's drilled into our heads
Our thoughts are taken over
We'll leave a trail of dead
Blindly charge forward now
Just like before
Where are we going?
I don't know
But here we go
We call it justice
We call it safety
They call it empire
They call it war
We're marching for our freedom
We're marching for our lives
Defending our churches
We'll silence all the lies
Blindly charge forward now
Just like before
Where are we going?
I don't know
But here we go
Headfirst into the pyre
Of endless war
Burning for justice
Sign up for four
Yeh, here we go

Unfurled
03:11

Oh, when the rain it clears away
What does that mean for me?
I feel the sun shine on my face
what's the point if I can't see?
Been ravaged by the emptiness
And left out in the cold
Still haunted taunted by that dress
And left here all alone
And I'm stepping out
Into the world
My head held high
My flag unfurled
I'm stepping out
Into the world
Alone… so alone
I step into the emptiness
Of where I once held you
Our shared time now meaningless
I hope you feel this too
Wasted time not wasted
We both have much to show, but
I'm on the road we paved for two
And you are here no more
And I'm stepping out
Into the world
My head held high
My flag unfurled
I'm stepping out
Into the world
Alone… so alone
Oh I…
I thought we had a deal
Oh I…
I thought that this was real
Oh I…
I thought we had it all
Oh I…
Oh, I
And I'm stepping out
Into the world
My head held high
My flag unfurled
I'm stepping out
Into the world
Alone… so alone

Isolation
03:26
|

Dust sweeps past my window still
Swallow deep, ingest the pill
All alone, Checking the view
Trembling, waiting for you
And were you ever even here at all?
Isolated in the dark before the dawn
Pondering, in my cell
Is this life or is this hell
Life floats by in solitude
Trembling, waiting for you
And were you ever even here at all?
Isolated in the dark before the dawn
Sobbing, crying, wondering how I'll go on
But you'll be back, I swear it
As emptiness surrounds
I cling to the very thought
That you'll come back
Somehow
And were you ever even here at all?
Isolated in the dark before the dawn
Sobbing, crying, wondering how I'll go on
I grasp for memories of how long you've been gone
Were you even here at all?
