Royal Fool 03:57
Look into my soul, let it be read, cherish what gods given. Free will it must act, act as lead, to your x-ray vision. Imagine my surprise at the request. Imagine my confusion at the behest of my lord. Imagine my surprise at the request. Murder, in any sense of the word. You're absolutely absurd to think I'd trade my child for thee. Won't be, Can’t be Heeding the call, Backwards we fall. Hearing the choice, with no trust at all Be it from the ground, from the sky or other world around me. Was he just a babe, oh man alive your gall truly astounds me. Imagine my surprise at the request. Imagine my confusion at the behest of my lord. Imagine being told not to distress. Murder, Spilling blood for the word. You're absolutely absurd to think I'd trade my child for thee. Can’t be, Won't Be Heeding the call, on your swords, you will fall. Hear the choice, Make the choice, with no choice at all Worth more than gold, yes you are, yes you are. The hypocrisy Won't do as I'm told, not by far, not by far. The reality Cold is the choice, you offer us, Gone is the trust. Cold Is the choice, you offer us Gone is the trust, and reality. Worth more than gold, yes you are, yes you are. The hypocrisy I won't do as I'm told, not by far, not be far. The reality Who are you to rule, demand of me, just to satisfy you. (Offer up your blood.)Won’t give into your misanthropy if I’m hell bound forsake you.

Fossil 03:47
Frigid wind, break not bend. There’s no middle ground, just talking heads on every screen. With every word, I grow more sick, with every fact, you slightly twist. I’ve got your cure right here, the hot tip of the year. You’re old, you’re scared, you’re dead, and no one cares If you could just shut up, two seconds long enough You’d know that no one’s listening, no one cares. Just like a habit you cannot resist. Your opinions, they make you, you spit them, you have to. When there’s no room for your ideals to exist. Yeah you push them, you force them, down all our throats I will not tolerate another word. Yeah we hear you, we see you, it’s your view, not ours. A self proclaimed fountain of truth. You prattle on without a clue. With every lie, I grow more sick, around your neck, your lines will twist, I am the kill, you’re just the, pacifist. I never asked you to speak for me. you run your mouth, but no one believes. I never asked you to bleed for me Clinging, like we owe you something. Just like a habit you cannot resist. Your opinions, they make you, you spit them, you have to. When there’s no room for your ideals to exist. Yeah you push them, you force them, down all our throats. I will not tolerate another word. Yeah we hear you, we see you, it’s your view, not ours. Well who the fuck asked you? A self proclaimed fountain of truth The world all according to you. The black and white the wrong and the right. There’s no middle ground, it’s so true. Speaking and ranting on every point, and still you have so much more to prove. But no one hears you, but no one hears your truth.

Mourning 04:31
Unadorned and unabashedly, far too willing to me, it seems to be. You face the great unknown, counting days and it shows. Even on the eve of your departure, I feel like a vulture, I pick, I chew, I’ll not let you alone. We all can see the fall. We try to fight it but it’s pure frustration. Ashes to ashes, this we are. We all must face our death some day. Dust to dust we become. We face these things our own way. Content to accept and not to dwell, never learned that lesson very well. What is, and what’s to be, an ever better man than me. Even though you’ve instilled all your wisdom, I just can’t help but go numb, without your eyes to guide me, I can’t see. We all can see the fall. We try to fight it but it’s pure frustration. Ashes to ashes, this we are. We all must face our death some day. Dust to dust we become. We face these things our own way. Your gaze, weighs heavy on hand. It stays as steady as the sands. Days past, I can recall the last. At least in there I'll make things last. Heaven, an idea I’d like to trust. I hold on to our lives instead. Yeah man, one day I’ll bite the dust. I pray I’m remembered, as just, just. Just. No time No escape No lies Nothing left to say No time No escape No lies Nothing left to say. If I had one thing left to say, I’d hold it inside, till it’s killing me. If I had just one thing to say. Even with your self embraced destruction. I simply cannot function. these angry tears well up until they drip. We all can see the fall. We try to fight it but it’s pure frustration. Ashes to ashes, this we are. We all must face our death some day. Wake Up! wake up!

Cactus 06:15
One spark one cell one life two choices wrong and right three million questions without a single answer in sight. Welcome humanity Choose now to fight or flee. Embrace this insanity the very mark of humanity. One light one dawn one fire the brilliance in the night. Divergent pathways potential with no ending in sight. Welcome humanity Choose now to fight or flee No, you cannot escape from this world. Yeah there’s nowhere to hide. No, you can’t just sit back & deride. Yeah there’s nowhere to turn. No, you cannot escape from this truth. As if there’s one for you. Are we simply along for the ride? Wait in line for your time to die. Embrace insanity the very mark of humanity. Welcome humanity Choose now to fight or flee. No, you cannot escape from this world. Yeah there’s nowhere to hide. No, you can’t just sit back & deride. Yeah there’s nowhere to turn. No, you cannot escape from this truth. As if there’s one for you. We’re not simply along for the ride? Wait in line for your time to die. Never enough pills to kill the pain. A temple defiled Never enough bombs to quell the outrage. You can’t stop the wild. No monsters left to blame, As we remain idle There’s one for all, but they're one and the same. Our devils do smile. War, it’s your answer to everything We need more, more sales less charity. Distort our sense of bravery to ignore, all signs of catastrophe. Decide right now to join or discount All the lies and deception All the plain contradiction We’re about fear and consent An unconscious decent Into the mirrors lament Staring back at the face you both own and resent. There still is time, To find reason and rhyme For the method of madness For the depths of our sadness. And wasted time I still have faith In the sick human race Turn you back on opinion On the hate for you brothers and stop to embrace Your mind, your heart Though they both play a part Though they both play a part When your time comes, and goes Will you know when to start. They’ll say there’s time Time to pull in the lines They’ll say there’s time Round and round, we go Down the trail we will fall There still is time Fight or flee Die or be Decide now.

Skeletal 05:30
And in the coming days I know my sight will pierce this haze and then my eyes will see that you were always meant for me I've screamed and screamed I've screamed I know. I've screamed and let my rage just flow. Like blood and salty tears, like holy wars for years and years I’ve lived this way, seems endlessly, that something's tried controlling me. It fuels me up and tries to steal, have I succumbed to this not to feel? Defend Ignorance Destroy the evidence Ignore the precedence Resist the urge to fight back. (It fuels me up and tries to steal, have I succumbed to this not to feel?) And still I’m reassured these trusted voices must be heard. And like a siren’s song without intent has steered me wrong. I’ve screamed and screamed I've screamed with cause. I've screamed but taken little pause To consider what is best, or which of us this is to test. You've but to live and to learn. Unconcerned your main concern. Time will tell, the hands move on. I pray that I've not trodden on. Defend Ignorance Destroy the evidence Ignore the precedence resist the urge to fight back. (Time will tell, the hands move on. I pray that I've not trodden on.) Desperately, tried not to, no avail. I’ve woven you. This shroud of dark to wear within. Burdened you, my greatest sin. Yes, I can hear the call. Need no one’s sympathy, to comfort or make mockery. I’ve taken on my greatest fear To prove to you I shall not veer. Yes, I can hear the call I’ve become skeletal. And so, this fear you see is of you looking down on me. Know this I could not bear; I’d tear my eyes out this I swear. I scream and scream I scream inside. I scream I feel as though I've lied. To you so much regret. It fills my heart I owe this debt. I can't repay I never could. I hope Someday its understood. I see one path and actualize I stand and I apologize. I apologize! Defend Ignorance Destroy the evidence Ignore the precedence resist the urge to fight back. (I see one path and actualize I stand and I apologize.)

Ladies and gentlemen for your entertainment. Take a breath and let it go, we know life takes a toll. They care not for the toil of man We know life takes a toll. Drunk on blood they do not understand. Everything's fine, Except all the lies There's nothing to fear. Except for you your selves Simply tune in my dear we're always here. Greed is driving the feeding at hellish speed. All their hands and their voices tied up with green. For the profit, of their pockets, you will pay, you will slave away. Ladies and gentlemen, o.k. to be ambivalent. Take a breath, let it go, we know life takes a toll. So, go kill with your spears and your fire. We know life takes a toll. Kill the monsters, kill the liars. Turn up the sound, until you go deaf establish the link, to make you complete The message so loud you can’t hear yourself think. Hate, Greed, Lust, all for the politics there's no trust. All for the profit, of their pockets, you will pay, you will slave. Crawling closer to the light Edging closer to the truth. It’s so easy anyone can see, They own you They own me They own us all Your politics Your rights Your choices Your fights Your clothes Your homes Your souls I don’t blame the mouthpiece, fuck no, I blame you, I blame you. I put trust in your hands, that you’d see us through. The many always destined to lift the few. Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and ladies and… It’s all part of the show Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and, don't you go. It’s all part of your show Ladies and gentlemen, don't you go. I’m so sick of your show Ladies and gentlemen, you've left us… No choice, you gave it up long ago. (We, won’t, buy) You’ve no voice, to speak of now anyhow. (We, won’t, buy) (Silver Tongue Behemoth) You can't Breathe (We, won’t, buy) And you no leave (We, don’t, buy) (Silver Tongue Behemoth) We won’t buy, what you’re selling us We don’t buy, what you’re telling us We won’t buy what you’re selling us We don’t buy, SILVER TONGUE BEHEMOTH.

Failure 06:15
Your voices, still crawl my mind. I ignore them, hoping they all will fade in time. None claim that life is easy, open idle hands be empty. My choices remain my own. No difference, reminds me that nothing is set in stone. Oh source of such frustration. Crawling, crying, screaming, bleeding, asking for some kind of meaning why. Pushed, past the point of failure. We’re not asking You speak is if we had a choice We’re not laughing Still talking as if you had a voice I'm not laughing, no fucking way Taking the pain all in stride I'm not dying, no not today If only a matter of pride Day in, day out. It’s time to reign in. Free from this fear fueled mind drought. No one ever said life would be easy, we all struggle to pull our own weight. Day star, praying. Hasn't your radar picked up this need of changing. No one ever said this wasn't crazy. All the signs seem to point just the same. Crawling, crying, screaming, bleeding, asking for some kind of meaning why. Pushed past the point of failure. We’re not asking You speak as if we had a choice We’re not offering Still talking as if you had voice I'm not laughing, no fucking way Taking the pain all in stride I'm not dying, no not today If only a matter of pride I wanted more than hope. I wanted more. More than just spoken word. I wanted more for you then to hate being broken. Ain't this strange the games we play When nothing's changed, still we run away. So insane, the claims we make When nothing's changed, still we run away. I wanted more than hope. I wanted more. More than just spoken word. I wanted more for you then to hate being broken. Accept the pain and don't complain Pretend there's change, pretend you're sane And every time I fall face down I face this dilemma. I just can’t lie, I just won’t try, I've faced this forever. We play the game though nothing's changed, it all stays the same. We still pretend we think we can mend this endless circus. We’re not asking You speak is if we had a choice We’re not laughing Still talking as if you had a voice I'm not laughing, no fucking way Taking the pain all in stride I'm not dying, no not today If only a matter of pride
