Eye for an Eye

Compassion is gone
When hatred prevails
There’s no longer than goodness or hope.
When chaos is king
And anarchy reigns
What will this world become?
There’s no need for Satan when you’ve got
The human race at the helm.
Just sit back and watch the decent of Earth
Into the foul depths of hell.
An eye for an eye
The whole world is blind
The new world’s powered by guns
Peace cannot be found
When war’s all around
And revenge is calling the shots

Run
03:32
|

|
Hear the sirens, see the lights
All alone on this winter’s night.
Heartbeat pounding in your chest
This could be your greatest test
How can you get away with this
Cops on all sides, you’re surrounded
You cannot get done this easily
Not when you’ve come this far
They cannot catch you if you run
You know these streets better than them
There’s only so far that they will chase
Don’t turn around to see them come
Just close your eyes and run
Just close your eyes and run
Heartbeat pounding more each step
Each breath more a spluttered mess
It’s too late to give up now
You’ve come this far, now what’s the rest
City streets close behind you
Everything to gain, everything to lose
Rabid dogs heard in the dark
And they’re coming for you.

Streets
02:50
|

|
The night is deathly still
Suspense and tension fill the air
Outside the crowd gathers
Torches and pitchforks raised to the sky
We will not listen to what you say
We will not do what you want us to
Your actions speak louder than your words ever do.
Words cannot get you out of this
This time you have gone too far
We have all seen what your true intentions are.
How can you sleep at night
When you forced your own kind
To live life on the streets
Rape the pockets of the poor
To pad those of the rich
Perpetuates the greed.
The tension grows and grows
This crowd has almost taken control
The air is thick with rage
It’s time for this anger to take its toll.
We are stronger than you think we are
Together we will stand as one
We will force you to pay for all the things you’ve done
We will not quietly fade away
You cannot push us to the side
United we will stand and we will not divide.

Find a Way
02:52
|

|
With no sense of responsibility
No distinction between right and wrong
Spend your life mooching off those above
Until you have sucked them dry
Led like lemmings off of a cliff, led to your death.
You’ll find a way
To life your life
Without a guide
Just lead yourself.
It’s time to take a look around
And see what you have become
It’s not too late to turn it around
And become what you want to be
Just take this opportunity, to reassess your life.

Sink or Swim
03:30
|
|||
|
It’s time to show your fight or flight
Do you sink or swim
There are defining moments in life
When you must prove who you want to be.
We will not run
Run from you
We will not stand
Stand for this
You cannot hide from your problems
You must face the world
What kind of person spends their life
Hidden away no strength to stand alone
