The truth will burn the ivory towers
\Intro/
Do the ashes taste bitter, in your ivory tower?
Will the truth make a difference?
Will we forget to remember,
while the sins of the fathers,
Are dredged from the river,
and the poison drips from the lips of every last liar?
\Ch/
There’s no reset for this
No equation, no right answer
No back track, no way out
Fuck you and your white collar
I’ve become – the thing I hate – the mask slips away
\Post/
I’ve become – something – that I don’t want to be
Reflect the lie – their indifference is killing me
I can feel myself slipping away
Control is slipping away…
\Ch/
There’s no reset for this
No equation, no right answer
No back track, no way out
Fuck you and your while collar
\Breakdown/
Your empire will crumble
Your empire will fall…
\Post/
I’ve become – something – that I don’t want to be
Reflect the lie – their indifference is killing me
Control is slipping away…
\Ch/
There’s no reset for this
No equation, no right answer
No back track, no way out
Fuck you and your while collar
I’ve become – the thing I hate – the mask slips away
\Outro/
Do the ashes taste bitter,
You’re just as lost as everyone
Throw yourself from the tower
The truth will always out
You’re just as lost as everyone, (the mask slips, the mask slips)x2

You Are In Error

you are in error
\V1/
Logic – is an enemy
Truth is a menace in a world without reason
You’re not a pioneer
No fucking Jesus
Can’t burn the pages and make the impulse go away
Control and order and dictate
You’re an extension of the old ways
Hear my voice when I say
No man is obsolete
\Pre/
To die – With an audience
Remove the veil from the eyes of the children
Lie – another opiate
Delusions masked as the word of God
The light – you claim you’re the light (x2)
\Ch/
Am I the only one - to stand at the ground, and break the mould
destroy the old - and no one seems to criticise
Douse this place in gasoline and kiss it with the flame
\Post Ch/
It burns in me, like a vivid effigy
A towering monument to empathy we lost
\V2/
Control and order and dictate
You’re an extension of the old ways
Hear my voice when I say
No man is obsolete
\Pre/
Now die – With an audience
Remove the veil from the eyes of the children
Lie – another opiate
Delusions masked as the word of God
The light – The light – you claim you’re the light (x2)
\Ch/
Square the circle until the pieces fit
Destroy the old - and no one seems to criticise
Douse this place in gasoline and kiss it with the flame
kiss it with the flame
\Breakdown/
Purify – with fire (x2)
\Outro/
step into the light

Eyes of Fidelity

eyes of fidelity
\1/
Dilute the lies – like ink in water
Watch from the wings – faceless observer
Make it real – then watch it spread like cancer
Make your deal – and burn forever.
\Pre/
You can’t change the past – it’s etched in stone, like an epitaph
These fucking memories (memories, memories, memories),
The echoes will not die…
Simply put, in the fewest of words, you came here for blood, well fucking lick it up…
\Ch/
You came here to trade deception
You came to drain sincerity
The untruth, wrapped in dollar signs
Coins placed on the eyes of fidelity
\2/
Lick the tears – from the face of reason
Use words like flags – Have I earned your attention
Hang you morals on the nail of treason
Then change your stance with the change of the seasons
\Pre/
You can’t change the past – it’s etched in stone, like an epitaph
These fucking memories (memories, memories, memories),
The echoes will not die…
Simply put, in the fewest of words, you came here for blood, well fucking lick it up…
\Ch/
You came here to trade deception
You came to drain sincerity
The untruth, wrapped in dollar signs
Coins placed on the eyes of fidelity

Devour | The Pain Mechanism
\V1/
My lungs are razors - With words never spoken
I choke and swallow - You carved out my spirit
Left me – A hollow man
My second chance
Take the pain and keep on running
\Pre/
Searching for so long
For a way to let this burden go
I've just - got to let this go
\Ch/
I try – to let this go
Can’t take another day, like the last one
Cant take another year chained up like this
\V2/
I was – so young once
So filled with confidence
So brave – so bold – so pure (you knocked that out of me)
Without – the strength to – show your face
You pulled the rug from under me
\Pre/
And now your time has gone
And there’s no hiding from all the things you have done
\Ch/
I try – to let this go
Can’t take another day, like the last one
Cant take another year chained up like this
\Breakdown/
Cant take another year
Cant take another year chained up
\Outro/
Your time is coming

233 reasons
\V1/
No pause for thought, or reflection on how stained your flag has become
“close your eyes now – keep moving”
two adults twenty-four children
your dream has become a nightmare
buying’s easy – no background
attack the weakest - you'll get your face in infamy
\Ch/
Believe, believe
Your God has abandoned thee
Believe, believe
And left you to your insecurity
Go get your gun
You'll get your gun
\V2/
History – repeating
How many bodies have to fall
Before you kick your addiction to the bullet
“We need a good guy with a gun”
you missed the fucking point
they died for nothing
take no solace cos their blood is on your hands
\Ch/
Believe, believe
Your God has abandoned thee
Believe, believe
And left you to your insecurity
\Breakdown/
Take no solace
Their blood is on your hands
\Outro/
attack the weakest - attack the weak
name and face in infamy
