Prepare to Burn Cast away You thought I had drowned I don't need to breathe When I'm here to watch you bleed Cast away My sin is our savior Cast away Can't ignore this behavior

Go forth and conquer Are the orders given For your monetary gain Of self-service You cannot be the one To grow and create You let us bleed so you can breed And fucking hate I will not Give in to this I cannot Overcome this Taking on every challenge Just so you can prove yourself But the only thing you have proven Is yet another disappointment Lingering Not for your approval I deserve some of your goddamn respect Take the tide Drown their voices Let them hide Fuck, are you listening? Don't fucking disrespect me Don't you ever fucking dare disrespect me Bitch Go forth and conquer Are the orders given For your monetary gain Of self-service You cannot be the one To grow and create You let us bleed so you can breed And fucking hate You cannot That's what they all say I cannot I can no longer stay Taking on every challenge Just so you can prove yourself But the only thing you have proven Is yet another disappointment Not this time We'll tear you down And use your limbs To build anew This is our fucking hymn

Triumph 03:55

You are revolting A vacant shell You are nothing A broken infidel This life gives no recompense for your agonizing past Aspirations only lead to the decay of tenacity No No, I won't wait for the chance to fail again You hunger for the somber silence of Death's cold embrace Demoralizing subconscious thoughts emerge as pain rolls down your face Unrelenting waves of doubt defy the urge to end your life You're plagued by insecurity But your hesitation reveals a chance to Compose yourself and GO! I'll go and turn my life around I'll take control of my own fate I no longer will doubt myself And I don't want your sympathy I will aspire to be that which inspires: Ever growing Strengthening my will Overcoming boundaries that I have set myself. Now that I have overcome my morbid animus I begin to subjugate my fate Standing in the epicenter of reformation I can see the light of a new dawn peering through aftermath of all of my self-persecution Looming over me as I walk alone fearlessly Toward the future that I now know that I decide If I take advantage of my new life Thirsting for the vibrant vitality of life's warm embrace A promising perspective surfaces as hope lights up my face

Growing older as this chasm spreads between us Time is a currency no longer spent on me In our youth we were wide eyed and full of trust Our faces painted with joy our life rife with belief Powerless now against the tides of change Our future snuffed out like a flame in the rain And now this vessel's broken Broken Reminiscing about the past wont bring you back It can't fill this hole or bridge this gap Inevitability is just an excuse for your submission to circumstance Aren't our memories worth making more Isn't our history worth the chance? Powerless now against the tides of change Our future snuffed out like a flame in the rain And now this vessel's broken Broken These are the words I never spoke Constantly questioning my self-worth Our friendship was once something I could trust Yet now you're gone (And I can't fucking breathe) (I can't fucking breathe) Now you're gone (And I can't fucking breathe) (I can't fucking breathe) Now you're gone and I can't fucking breathe I cannot fucking breathe

I've seen the changing of the times And I know the true design That defines the nature of our reality Your false tongue becomes a veil Descending over our misplaced faith A Broken Promise Exercising the right to free speech only to be Silenced by a patrolling monopoly Rampant apathy paves the way towards the burning of all our liberties As you strike the final match Flames dance in the mirrors of your eyes Reflecting the world because there's nothing left inside Hollowed out by the daily dose of force fed lies We have lost our hope We have run out of time Abandoned our guise Lies! Fucking liar I've had enough of your filth I can't take any more Every time I believe what you say, I find myself to have been deceived No more standing idly by while you take what you want No more hiding in the dark I will not let you have your way I will no longer trust a single Word you say You serpents dance behind the flames of your destructive selfish reign Your calloused hearts betray your own and in time, You'll reap what you have sewn Your own flames will burn you to the bone Oh, BURN! You use your power like gasoline to fuel your burning abominable schemes. But once your flames engulf you, we will watch and sing: Let freedom ring!
