Save You 05:04
Body cold and comatose Locked away from the ones who need you most No one left to hold you close With vacant eyes like an endless overdose In your empty hole, Who is gonna claim your immortal soul? In your empty hole, Who is gonna claim your soul? Nothing I say, nothing I do Nothing is ever going to be good enough to save you Drowning in pain, determined to lose Nothing is ever going to be good enough to save you Walking dead, body snatcher Essence stifled inside the specter of disaster Spirit distilled, 100 proof Half alive, half dead, in the ashes of the truth In your empty hole, who is gonna claim your immortal soul In your empty hole, who is gonna claim your soul? Nothing I say, nothing I do Nothing is ever going to be good enough to save you Stewing in shame, spewing abuse Nothing is ever going to be good enough to save you Nothing I say, nothing I do Nothing is ever going to be good enough to save you Clawing in vain, I’ll never break through Nothing is ever going to be good enough to save you

Denial 05:18
The devil in hell can’t hold a candle to the devils on earth We’re living in a furnace while they spurn us to determine our worth You built an empire on the backs of the poor Selling them less ’til they believed it was more Neon billboards shine through the fog of war We’re all a part of your plan, buried deep in the sand With no hope and no chance of survival And I cannot understand how it’s good for the brand When we burn with your hands on the dial Denial! Your industry encircles the globe like a pulsating swarm Insidious and treacherous, our eyes don’t perceive the form And they monetize, monopolize, extract and infest Choke out all dissent at their investors’ behest Propagating, multiplying, avaricious, obsessed We’re all a part of your plan, buried deep in the sand With no hope and no chance of survival And I cannot understand how it’s good for the brand When we burn with your hands on the dial Denial! Turn your ill-gotten gains to advertisements Blast your image through their heads, the loop is endless Sell them their own enslavement, call it progress Privatize their only lifelines - it’s just business… Hear me now, i won’t stand I won’t shake your treacherous hand Serpentine, your machine is so vile We’re all a part of your plan, buried deep in the sand With no hope and no chance of survival And I cannot understand how it’s good for the brand When we burn with your hands on the dial Oh, denial!

Looming above the city streets, fascist observers Forever frozen in their dignified regalia The avatars of ancient pain, snuffed out of history The standard-bearers of a poison ideology We rise with fists held high to bury what is dead Intimidation fails tonight, the reign of terror ends We’ll drag them down to the ground We will deface the halls of slavery Stone hearts will bleed, taste defeat Justice and love emerge victorious The frantic operators pace, barking their orders No one is listening, the gears are halted, motionless Into the palace march the throngs, vandals of mercy Descend upon the court with words like guillotines Radiating fury from our one collective soul Power gluttons flee in panic, now we take control We’ll drag them down to the ground We will deface the halls of slavery Stone hearts will bleed, taste defeat Justice and love emerge victorious

Hey you, Do you know why you’ve been called? Do you know how far you’ll fall without resolve? The road ahead is steep Indecision won’t come cheap Hey you, Do you feel like more than man, The kind of beast the world can’t stand? Tonight, evolve! We’re halfway through the mire We’ll set the universe on fire Into the sun we go, on faith alone The only way we know, we go Broken circuits reconnect Energize and intersect Disparate systems now entwined Eye to eye and mind to mind Into the sun we go, on faith alone The only way we know, we go Into the sun we go The only way we know

I know the feeling, I know the feeling And it never goes away The skin is healing, the skin is healing But the scars are here to stay The world is flat and it’s getting flatter That’s the nature of the game We analyze it, rationalize it But the days shrink just the same I’ve lost two brothers, I’ve lost a sister Who I didn’t even know We lose each other, we lose our system And into the void we go There are no colors, there are no colors Of the rainbow left to taste I know I’m dreaming, I know I’m dreaming In my dreams we’ve been replaced Dream away the monsters in the sky... Far from the sunshine, deep in the mud I’ll bring down the skyline, so bring on the flood My eyes are open, my eyes are open And I’ll hold them open wide The toy is broken, let’s hold out hope We’re not the batteries inside I know the feeling, I know the feeling And I’m desperate for control I know I’m screaming, I know I’m screaming But that’s just the way things roll… So roll! Dream away the monsters in the sky Smaller than their shadows on your eyes... Far from the sunshine, deep in the mud Oh shit! I’ll bring down the skyline, so bring on the flood I know the feeling

The Well 05:48
I woke up alone, address unknown I cannot reconcile the world I know with what I see A creeping fear, don’t know the year And all I hold inside, the afterimage of a memory Now, dreamer, author of all humankind Who are you, what have you in mind? All-mother, painter of space and of time Where are you, is this your design? Don’t leave me stranded here Don’t let me disappear I woke up afraid of this mess I’ve made Where words have no meanings, The lights are on,
 but there is no one home My point of view twisted around and shattered anew And up is down and black is white and right is wrong 
 In this labyrinth catacomb
 Now, dreamer, author of all humankind Who are you, what have you in mind? All-mother, painter of space and of time, Where are you, is this your design? Don’t leave me stranded here Don’t let me disappear Don’t leave me stranded here Don’t let me disappear Don’t leave me stranded here Don’t leave me

American Id 03:26
Rancid sons of bitches Chop them down to inches Chum for hungry fishes This world, vacuous and vicious Untenable conditions Scratch your fucking itches They mean nothing to you This is nothing to you They mean nothing to you And this is nothing to you Peons taking orders Faithful little hoarders Fuse is getting shorter Hard hearts, growing ever harder Be the firestarter Choose the lucky martyr They mean nothing to you This is nothing to you They mean nothing to you And this is nothing to you Obliterate, and recreate In your image, in your image They'll never know what lies below In the damage, in the damage Man - abomination, Damnable mutation, Breathing degradation Panic is spreading like a virus It’s already inside us May it purify us
